That's probably just about spot on, and if that is the case, i don't think the centre-forward they're after is Owen. Scary though, because Berbatov is the man for that role, there. Scary in the sense that they must have an absolute boatload to spend. Should be an interesting summer. Chelsea have got some serious work to do. Got to agree with the formation, I think it's spot on. Could Huntelaar work as the forward, though? I'm sure they've been linked with him a few times before.

what kind of player is he, how does he catch the eye, how would he fit into our team? He is an attackin Midfielder can play on the right flank too,very good technique and very pacey. his nickname in Switzerland is "Swiss Kaka"....... if Bolton gets his ahead of us i will be really gutted. Would you say he could be a good replacement for Nobby?

Should be a great game tonight. I think Espanol could cause an upset. Anyone got any team news?

Kinky. Noo! I meant tying him down to a contract!

I do hope Big Sam has Tal Ben-Haim all tied up.

Cantona? Zola?

Kanu?

Andy Cole?

I doubt Friendly matches count, but if they do Moore and Ramage have scored for us.

http://www.smh.com.au/news/Sport/Sunderland-chasing-dumped-Moore/2007/05/16/1178995238640.html Don't know how reliable the source is, but apparently the mackems want Craig Moore.

if the speculation is true fergie wants to drop a striker and possibly go out for someone new and alot of press were saying its saha which I can sort of see why, depends what sort of money they are wanting for him, he has been injured alot and cost them was it about 9 million can see them hanging on for 5+ for him if they were to sell and for that price would he be worth a gamble They bought Saha for £12.75M.

I think he's just signed a pre-contract argreement with Lyon.

agreed.

He isn't. Think he's watching Bolton.

Shay Given replaces Steve Harper in goal for Nigel Pearson's first game as caretaker boss, the Irishman taking the captain's armband with Scott Parker (hernia) absent. Oh thank god for that. Had a dreaded feeling it was Dyer again.

Who's captain?

It's good to see Given back.

Where's Ameobi?! FFS!!

What the hell's Dawson done to get a call up ahead of Taylor?

I wonder who the Italian team'll be.

How does the Amersterdam Tournament actually work? I've just had a look at their website and last year Man Utd got 10 points from two matches. Do they get an extra point for how many goals the team scores or something?

No he isn't, Allardyce is.

Say Nolan was Allardyce's first choice midfielder, who'd you think he'd drop? Parker or Emre?

If we were going to sell him I'd sell him next summer as he'll only have a year left on his contract and I doubt he'll want to renew it.

Bring Tal Ben-Haim in on a Bosman. Start up a Good Scouting System. Sack Terry McDermott. Bring in his own back room staff e.g. Physios, Coaches, etc. Get a Good formation working with the Squad. Get rid of the deadweight and other rubbish players e.g. Luque, Carr, Bramble, etc. Buy Kevin Nolan from former club Bolton and make him captain. Recruit Two attacking full backs who can go straight into the first team. Buy an experienced centre back who'll lead the back four - making sure there a little to no mistakes during a match.
