There will be no case. Alex Ferguson is King of tapping other players up; the situation with Ronaldo is the way it is BECAUSE Manchester United have essentially raped the rules for years. 3 months ago after playing Lyon in the CL, Ferguson talked about how he hoped Karim Benzema would sign for United and what an asset he would be in between CL legs. Then after all the Ronaldo stuff, he came out last week and said how well he thought Blackburn's Roque Santa Cruz would look at Old Trafford and how well he'd link up with Rooney and Tevez. That's 2 examples in a litany of tapping up cases by Ferguson. FIFA will chuck it out and Utd will sell Ronaldo to Madrid for £60 million and then sign either Dimitar Berbatov from Spurs or the aforementioned Santa Cruz from Blackburn.
He's another mercenary. Spurs finalised the Dos Santos deal from Barcelona today. Whilst he's alot like Robbie Keane, it may placate the fans when it comes to selling Berbatov. I think Berbatov is mad to go to United, considering how similar he is to what they already have and he's not a brilliant line leader.
Because be's way down the pecking order behind Messi and Bojan, etc. Rijkaard's downfall was to play too many show ponies; Henry, Ronaldinho, Messi, Eto'o, Bojan, etc. Too many forward thinking players like Iniesta and Xabi. They had no backbone. Now that Guardiola is in, they're looking to deal Eto'o and Ronaldinho, they will probably let Henry leave should an offer come in for him and they've signed players like Martin Caceres and Seydou Keita and Daniel Alves who have a little backbone. There's plenty of room for the individuals, but much as Real Madrid did by getting rid of the Galacticos, they now have a well oiled machine that runs through Mahamadou Diarra and Wesley Sneijder in midfield. Not through Carlos, Zidane and Beckham.
Interesting, thanks man. Do you know any thing about Yaya Toure? I like him a lot and I last heard that he may be looking to come and pair with his brother, Kolo, at Arsenal. Also, doesn't Mahamadou Diarra want out of Real?
Also, I read that Eto'o turned down Tottenham's offer of coming to play for them today so I think he will end up with Milan.
Yaya plays for Barcelona and is a decent player. I think Inter would like Diarra in Italy, but he's so central to what makes Real tick that I don't think they'll let him go.
Man United put in an offer for him, and we was considering the move before he was talked out of it by being told he was expected to be an integral part of the team next season. http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=710029
Henry has always said that if he returns to English football that there would only ever be two teams he'd consider; Arsenal and Liverpool. Arsenal for obvious reasons and Liverpool because of the way the fans have always treated him. I'm lucky enough to have a friend who is pally with Steven Gerrard. Prior to Henry signing for Barcelona, Henry was thinking very seriously about an offer to come to Anfield. Gerrard and Henry are very close and I think if Liverpool hadn't had been the next club straight after Arsenal, then he may well have joined. I'm thankful he didn't, but I would eat my own dog before I could ever see Henry at Old Trafford.
Man I've been meaning to ask you, as you probably know Sven Goran is now the HC of Mexico, I figure you have seen him coach the longest of anyone here, and given that the Mexican press doesn't really seem to know what to expect from him, I would like to hear from you or any of the british fans, what they think of him, what should I expect? (I like the signing either way because he is an outsider which is good due to the corruption of our game)
Scolari to Chelsea According to chelseafc.com (official site): http://www.chelseafc.com/xxchelsea180706/index.html#/page/Homepage/article_1326946
He got a terrible deal at Manchester City. He got all he deserved with England. I think he's better suited to club management than International work because when he was England boss he complained about missing the every day involvement. You can't argue with his club record, especially in Italy and Portugal. He has a varied private life in that he was more often on the front page for affairs with women than he was on the back page for successes when he was Engalnd boss. He also stuck too readily to players who werent't working; David Beckham and Frank Lampard are prime examples. But his players love him and he's worked with Nery Castillo at City. I think he'll get you playing football and if he can keep it in his pants, he'll do a decent job.

Henry reveals 'love' of Anfield http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/8250754/Henry-reveals-'love'-of-Anfield Sounds like he wants to be a Liverpool player more and more. I can't imagine him in a 'pool kit. It is hard enough to see him in a Barca kit after all these years at Arsenal.
Rosicky could miss start of season http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/8250884/Rosicky-could-miss-start-of-season Man, this is not good at all. We could lose Hleb and now maybe RvP. Rosicky maybe out for start of season.
