Man Utd January '06 Transfer Targets and Rumours Thread

Yea, Clearly Real COULD fit Ballack into their system, but they'd certainly have to make several changes, and Ballack would play well in almost any system, but I just don't think they'd go to those lengths with Ballack.

 

If he says he wants to go BM are in an awkward position. They would not want to lose him on a free and cashing in on him in January could disrupt their whole season, but in that scenario would the club rather £8-12m or losing their star player for nothing and gambling on taking the Bundesliga and/or the CL with him?

 

One 'galactico' is on his way to retirement retty soon and Ballack is the proven top class player they usually go for. Not only that, how many players in the world are better at meeting aerial crosses than Ballack?

It will be a bit ******** if we are up against them again for a player.

 

Slotting Ballack in for Zidane would work perfectly - it would even let Robinho dribble endlessly to his little heart's content.

 

The ideal scenario for me would be his anouncement that it will be his last season with Bayern and at the end he will head to Old Trafford.

 

tell me about it, I wouldn't be as irritated if we had to compete for him against the likes of Milan, Juve, or Barca but Real is a hole other affair, I carry a deep hatred for them, for many reasons.

 

If real madrid were a woman, i would get them pregnant, and lie about my name..not to mention pee on them..but that is just my immature 15 y/o side talkin

 

Jesus, if you were to do that you might as well just go and give then 'a Donkey'. A Donkey being a sick, but hilarious (from a hypothetical point of view, obviously) thing I heard about a few years back, where you take them up the pooper, grab a hard instrument and smack them on the back of the head with it so as to knock them out, steal everyhting in the room (just the room, not the house) and then take a smeared dump all over their curtains.

Like I said, it's appalling. So appalling that if you don't laugh, you'll cry.

And yes for those who may be wondering, I am still drunk from my debs last night. 20 shots of tequila (including 2 bouts of 4 back-to-back), countless pints, a good few JD & Cokes as well as vodka & Red Bulls, and some Fat Frogs, too. Oh, and a whole lot of, erm... 'cigarettes'.

 

haha..wow..that was on of the funnier things i've heard all week..

 

Gotta love Wikipedia...

Unless Bayern is out of the Champions League, Ballack will not be sold in January. Having Ballack in the team could help Bayern advance, thus making money from the Champions League that could compare favorably to a cut-rate January fee.

 

Some would call it appalling.... or a fun way to spend a Friday night...

 

Even if Bayern are out of the CL, Ballack will most likely stay with Bayern til next summer, I just don't think he will leave Germany for that matter right before the WC.

 

What kind of resentment will people in Germany have towards him if he comes to United?

 

Since he is Germany's captain some Germans will feel as if he should remain loyal and stay in Germany, however, the majority of Germans are aware of his talent and that he needs to move to a better league, he already accomplished everything he could in Germany and its only normal that he feels the need to seek a new challenge, and as I said the majority of Germans understand that. Even I as a Bayern fan, will be heartbroken to lose him, but I would totally understand his sentiment, besides if he comes to United I will be ueber-happy

 

There are rumors circling in the Portugal Forums of Cristiano Ronaldo talking to a Team in Russia.

Also Benfica has expressed its interest to sign Cristiano as well.

 

Russia? No chance.

Benfica, hmmmmm, sounds like they are about to sell Simao and are trying to appease the fans by telling them they're in for Ronaldo. Having said that, I don't know how they'd react to a former Sporting player being linked with the club.

It's a bit like when Newcastle said they were in for Rooney before we bought him and smells very fishy to me.

Besides, why would we want to sell him right now?

Personally, I doubt very much that these rumours may be true.

 

Sell our winger when we only have three of them?

Mmm.

 

I know it's the Sun...but:

Gotta laugh, if there's any truth to it, Real are just becoming something of a laughing stock.

 

I could swear I saw that exact article this summer...

 

Stop right there.

 

With this current formation you never know, we don't even use wingers anymore really. You have Rooney up top whole couldn't be much of a winger anyways, playing the supposed winger position and CRon is not going to supplant him, not in England at least.

I am not saying we will lose Cron, I will have to beat someone up the day it does, but as of right now you can see where the papers could imagine making this stuff up.

 

Our passing is absurdly terrible. It's pathetic how easily we're getting out-passed by Boro.

 

Fedorychev (boss of dinamo moskva) said that he spoke w/ ronaldo and hes willing to play. he also hinted ud be getting maniche+$$$$$$

 

Mass clear-out required. No more half measures. No more excuses. Last chance saloon for Ferguson.
