Chris Eagles --> Burnley
What are your thoughts Man U fans? Realize he was never going to crack a starting role with the Red Devils, but from what tape I've seen of him, doesn't this seem like a bit lower than his caliber of play and only for 1 mil? Granted it looks like he'll have a bang up season with lots of playing time and then move up somewhere, but surprised a lesser premiership team wouldn't have bid on him for more & been able to let him compete for a starting role.
^^ lolol.
Lilian Thuram's move to PSG cancelled after a medical finds a heart-related issue, forcing him to retire from the game. I must say, he will be missed. Like a rock in the centre of defence in his heyday, in terms of skill and motivation, so I hope he takes on coaching to glean some of those qualities to younger players.

| Originally posted by Zild That really sucks. Always a little bit sad to see a great player have to retire early. |
For anyone doubting the Keane transfer you may want to consider the fact that we have shipped out Crouch who while admittedly didn't play much last season but he contributed 5 goals in the league and replaced him with Keane who's proven to have scored 20+ goals per season (all competitions) and I think with the team around him at Liverpool will have the potential to maybe better that. I think he will be a valuable addition to the squad.
Gareth Barry will also be a Liverpool player by the end of the week and i think that David Ngog could well be the surprise package this year if he is given some decent playing time. Watched him today against Rangers and he scored an excellent goal.
Oh and Pennant will be on his way out to Blackburn too which will possibly pave the way for an additional signing either attacking right or left midfield but it won't be a winger as Rafa clearly doesn't want to play with wingers.

Van der Vaart to Real Madrid for �13 million.
I know they're different types of players, but does this mean that they've ACTUALLY moved on from signing Cristiano Ronaldo (i.e. not go in the news one day and say it's unlikely they'll sign him, and then come back the next day saying Manchester United should let the player do what he wants)?

| Originally posted by DRM Heh would be nice to see the back of that saga. I doubt he will be moving this summer now though. Also why was there no one else sniffing around Van der Vaart when he has gone for very reasonable money in an expensive market at the mo? |

| Originally posted by Intuition His contract had a clause that would have let him leave for �1.5 million at the end of next season. Hamburg valued him at around �30 million, so they were satisfied to see him go for half this summer rather than for pennies next summer. Why we didn't hear about anyone else in the race after him? I don't know. But I do wonder what jersey he'll be getting, seeing as how Robinho has #10 and Sneijder has #23. In case people weren't aware, Messi picked up #10 for the coming season (which means I'll be getting myself a brand-spanking new Barca jersey). |

| Originally posted by Ian 12 months ago, Rafael came close to joining valencia but then the president decided to start being a **** to Quique Sanchez Flores & brought the ginger dutch prick in as manager to ruin things instead and I don't think we can afford him realistically now, but he's always wanted to play in spain ahead of england on account of his spanish mother, Mike. |

| Originally posted by Intuition Shame really, I think he would have had a much greater impact at Valencia. Like I could see them building the whole team around him, and even though they picked up Ever, he hasn't been anything special to date (supposedly Atletico want to pick him up on loan). P.S. Anyone else notice how fine Sylvie Van Der Vaart was looking at his presentation today? Source: Link. "Estamos viviendo un sue�o", de panas. |
