Do they need him anyway, they already have the Neville Brothers and Luke Chadwick.

If its true that they offered �21 m for him and got turned down, I think it was right of them not to buy him. Sure, he won the world cup with brazil and managed to get a cross in goal past an overaged keeper, but what has he proved really? He has been inconsistent with PSG, why would he be a success in the PL? A league where almost no south american players manage to adapt. But yeah, they really need some offensive reinforcement after Beckhams move.

i'm glad man utd didn't get Ronaldinho coz he is overrated, Damien Duff is a much better option, but we need to act quickly if we want to stop him joining Chelsea.

As for Harry Kewell, wot is that tosser on about??Even if United are due a 'downturn' as he reckons, it won't be Liverpool who replace us, it'l be Chelsea, Newcastle or Arsenal.
Liverpool should stick to the Mickey Mouse cup!

Chelsea are most likely to replace Man United at the top of the English game if they can get their team of superstars to gel, which will be a tough task.

Liverpool need a new manager with a new direction to get them into the big time. Thats just my opinion. They could also do with selling Heskey, hes totally overated in my opinion.

Couldn't agree more. Houllier has spent lots of money on tons of players and hasn't won anything worth mentioning besides the FA cup and the UEFA cup in what four-five years?. On top of that he has made Liverpool, a side traditionally known for flair and offensive football, into one of the most boring sides in the premiership. I don't think they will do alot better this year just because they now have Kewell and lets see how GH will use him.
I also think that Heskey is a crap player, but he seems to be one of the managers favorites. I can't see him leaving before Houllier does.

Man Utd were offering Barthez with cash, apparently. PSG are in debt and would rather just have the money, which Barcelona were offering. Also, PSG accused Man Utd of going behind the clubs back and discussing straight with the player, which didn't impress them.

Apparently Man Utd went for Kleberson because he was good friends with Ronaldinho and their style of play would complement each other - if that's true then this is a disappointment for the club, but I think overall the fans should be glad they didn't get Ronaldinho, I doubt he'd have fitted in with man utd's style of play. However they should be worried about replacing him and the prospect of Veron going to Chelsea. I doubt Barthez will be happy he was being offered to PSG either. Man Utd need to sort their shit out.

Please tell me that was a joke But seriously, if the rumours are correct (and I say rumours because this only what I've read in the paper) then Ronaldinho's personality would probably have clashed with Fergie anyhow...in that sense it could be a blessing in disguise, you dont wanna be shelling out 23mil or whatever it was for another Dwight Yorke situation where he ends up playing with the kids. Just my opinion.

MANU has too much talent if you ask me. The best midfielders in the world can't even play there. Such as Ronaldinho. He will become Manchester United's number 1 substitution player.

LOL

Who needs Ronaldbuckteeth ?!

Celtic 0 Man Utd 4

Ole is the new right midfield man and what a good job he does. His crossing is top notch!

oh poor old crying Xavier

your team spent 100 MILLION ON PLAYERS! last year and did you win a damn thing...NO!

You bought kewell...who I have considered overated...will you win a damn thing...NO!

Did we really need that idiot from PSG....NO!

we will do what we have done 8 of the last 12 yrs during the 03/04 season and win the premier...trash talk all you want..see reality ppl...

everyone seems to be forgeting Arsenal ! all this talk about Liverpool and Chelsea, but I still think that it is, as it always has been a two horse race between Arsenal and Man U. With or Without Beckham and Ronaldino (or however the hell you spell his name) Man U will still score plenty of goals through the likes of Van Nistelrooy, Scholes etc

El Hadji Diouf 10 Million
Bruno Cheyrou 3.7 Million
Salif Diao 4.7 million

Umm we spent just under 20 million, and that is considered average for a club thats recognised in the G14. Plus we won the League Cup, 2 nil against Manure

I think this could be one of the closest finishes in a long time. Newcastle, Chelsea and Liverpool are all improving, it should be a cracking season!

Posted by PacMan on Jul-28-2003 14:47:

oooooooooooh arsenal their first keeper will have sit and watch most of the matches. A very aggresive lehmann is not gonna fit in the premiership.

Yeah I agree with you, but in the long run, Man United will be standing tall once again...

One thing that bothers me though is that Ruud (the and and only) scored 40 goals or something like that last year, and if I'm not mistaking 20 of those were assisted by Becks...am I right or am I wrong? I already miss Becks, although we haven't had any problems with either Celtic last week (4-0) or Club America yesterday (3-1) and Ruud appearantely played an impressive game...again...
