TRon Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Sounds like Man U are trying to be cute and get Owen as a part swap deal. One recovering crock for another. Luckily there is no way the escape clause can be triggered without a solid £9m offer. Any swap deals with disputers over valuations are depending on our consent - which we won't give. So fuck of Fergie and fuck off Smith and take your manky swap offers with you please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Toon Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Just seen a report that Man Utd have been turned down in their work permit application for that Brazilian kid Anderson: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2002390000-2007300004,00.html If they can't get him, maybe this increases the chances of them coming in for Owen?

geordie jamie Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 If they stick by their reason as not played in 75% of Brazil games cant see how they can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely works like that. I can only remember 1 appeal being succesful - Juninho to boro where they showed them videos of his showboating etc. Anyone remember any others?

Guest Darth Toon Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Might be they can sign him then send him somewhere on loan for a while until he gets a few more caps under his belt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Toon Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Bollocks to all that - they've won the appeal already! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6252368.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 We also appealed when we had Brad Friedel and lost. Darlington on the other hand appealed to sign Asprilla and won...only for him to do a runner. Wouldn't surprise me if he agreed to sign thinking he'd not get the permit, then when they granted him one thought, "Sh*t, what have I done". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they dont necessarily need the required caps for a work permit anymore - they just need to be 'special' ......or joining Man Utd!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if he agreed to sign thinking he'd not get the permit, then when they granted him one thought, "Sh*t, what have I done". Did he actually agree to join them? I was on holiday in Gran Canaria at the time, and remember seeing that on SSN in a bar. But I'm sure I read that he was under the impression he was coming as a publicity thing, but George Reynolds told the press he was gonna sign him. On arriving, George got him to hold the shirt up and stuff for the pics, and Asprilla was none the wiser that everyone thought he was actually joining Darlo!! It was apparently all part of some scam or other by Reynolds - and never a true intention to sign Asprilla. Maybe what I read was bollocks tho'??!!
