The Heinze will go where we allow Thread

[I Will Brleak You]

Does anybody know if Heinze arrived, as instructed, for training today? SAF says he was told to be there, so was he? Photos?

Looks like he did. (http://www.sportinglife.com/football/premiership/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/07/08/06/SOCCER_Man_Utd_Heinze.html&TEAMHD=premiership)

This is such a weird saga. Heinze has personally conducted himself relatively well - EXCEPT that he's asking to go to Liverpool. He's praised the manager in the press, showed up today without any tantrums, etc.

I really wish I could understand his choice to go there. He would be in a mix of LBs just like he is here, except here he'd have a shot at winning something.

I bet he must have been nervous as it is a bit like going to the head teacher knowing that you are about to be caned.

I wish he would just get on with it and work for his place because it is unlikely that Evra will remain fit throughout the whole season.

Good on him. I hope he stays, but I think it's probable that he's going.

[Ruud v.Nistelrooy 10]

yes so far he hasnt pulled a Gallas but id rather him not want to join liverpool

as for Silvestre who would naturally be next in line dont know how many know about this but

Ashfin@Rossoneri: Hey, who do you think will win the Champions League final next week?
Mikaël Silvestre: I hope it will be Milan! I have a problem because my friend, who supports Inter, doesn't want Milan to win, and I dont want Liverpool to win. So that will be interesting...

from one of the live UEFA chats. im not buying into it completely but thats the attitude i want from our LBs

[prymetyme]

I always knew Silvestre was a player to keep around. The only decent thing he ever did was head butt everyones favorite Calvin Klein model Freddie Ljungberg.

Heinze tells Fergie: I still want to quit Old Trafford for Anfield

Contract rebel Gabriel Heinze last night upped the ante in his row with Manchester United by telling Sir Alex Ferguson to his face that he wants to move to Liverpool.

Defender Heinze returned to training with United as planned yesterday and headed straight for a meeting with manager Ferguson to thrash out his future.

Heinze said: "I've spoken with the coach and I have insisted that my wish is to leave the club if a big offer appears on the table.

"Today the only such offer is from Liverpool and it is this that is causing the problem. Earlier in the summer I received a promise from United that I could leave if the deal was good for both parties and at the moment there is an offer from Liverpool.

"The coach is serious about this and I understand his view. But I am serious, too. My lawyers are studying the situation and I'm going to wait for a few days now to get a full report from them."

Heinze - who last season lost his left-back berth to Patrice Evra - has two years left on his contract but was told in a letter from chief executive David Gill at the start of the summer that he could leave if an offer of £6.5million was received.

The only offer subsequently made has been from Liverpool and Heinze's representatives are trying to force the club's hand because the letter did not state that bids from Premier League rivals would not be considered.

"All I want now is a swift solution to this saga," said Heinze, who was given extra time off by Ferguson after his participation in the Copa America with his country. "I've fulfilled my duties by returning for training and I will now carry on behaving like a professional. I will keep on coming to training and will see what happens. I have a muscle injury in my leg but it is only minor and will not keep me out for long.

"People keep saying that there's an offer for me from Juventus but I know nothing about it. Liverpool is the only offer so far.

"I don't want to spend time at the club just waiting and not playing as I don't think that is in the best interests of the club or myself."

[holytoledo]

What a ********.

[doug1500]

******** me. Whats the point of keeping him at this point?

[holytoledo]

Has he been getting any crap from fans yet?

[prymetyme]

If he ever played the bin dippers I'd be scared of him throwing the match.

[JC7rox]

******** me. Whats the point of keeping him at this point?

I think the gist of that is that he wants to move on and won't stand to be 2nd choice. He would have gone to another big club not Liverpool but no one has put in an offer for him. Since to him, anywhere is better than here, he'll take that jump to Liverpool.

In my eyes, that is worse than the original assumption that he just wanted to go to Liverpool. Anywhere but here.:mad:

[doug1500]

What could we have expected from him. He played us like a Piano, Heinze did. Fans Player of the Year. Mr wont take shit from anyone.

Heh, its almost comical the level of loyalty he's showing us.

The signs were there from the beginning, though. The way that he risked all to shirt up for Argentina. It was on more than one occasion that he put us to the side, despite being too injured for us, to play for Argentina. That is why he missed so much time last season.

[doug1500]

Yeah...

I certainly wont be missing him now though.

[barthez4]

Ugh, and I like my Argentina Heinze kit so much...

[prymetyme]

He was an absolute prick agains Germany last year, started freaking out and Frings like the man he is put him in his place. Lost us the world cup:mad::mad::mad:

It's very true. He was always a gritty player and I loved him for that. I couldn't stand his ridiculous elbowing, and that just showed me he's an animal, a man without class who willingly cheats. The Argentina loyalty was another step in that direction and as much as I hate to bring it up, the summer incident against Germany only strengthens my case. He's a prick.
