TRL

Probably small heath and Villaboro

I don't think they even have the vision to TRY and get him

Me neither. Its all so sad... we really need some new blood in the club. Some Ranson blood with Ranson money and Ranson vision^^

To me the main factor is that DOL wants him. I support DOL 100%

Im sure you all do to, even Tony

He seems like a striker willing to take a shot from 20 meters, and generally beeing an asshole.

Thats something we dont have, and we need IMO. Especially at derby days.

But can we expect "better" quality, without europe that is...

Think we can be assured that everything we know, AVFC knows.

Now where is that petition

Barcelona have confirmed that Javier Saviola is available for transfer as he is not in their plans for next season.

The Argentine spent last season on loan with French side Monaco, but they have not be able to secure him on a permanent basis.

Saviola wants to return to Camp Nou but sporting director Txiki Beguiristain says that he is not in Frank Rijkaard's plans for next season.

Barca are willing to let Saviola go out on loan again or on a permanent transfer, but admit that he will stay at Camp Nou if there are no takers.

"We have decided that Saviola is not in our plans for next season," said Beguiristain.

"But if he is still here on July 18 then he will continue being a Barcelona player.

"We are still in talks with the player and his representatives and with clubs who may be interested in him. But, at the end of the day, it is down to the player where he wants to spend next season.

"Saviola plays in the same place as Samuel Eto'o and Eto'o has just had a phenomenal season. Then we have Henrik Larsson who is a great forward and there is also Maxi [Lopez], who is a great option to have."

The situation is difficult because club president, Joan Laporta, promised Saviola that if he spent last season on loan at Monaco then he could return to play for Barca in the 2005-06 season.

But he now risks being ostracised from the club, like compatriots Juan Riquelme and Roberto Bonano in the past, for refusing to leave after Frank Rijkaard insisted that he does not want the former River star.

Beguiristain also moved to stop rumours that Leo Messi is a target for several clubs by insisting that the young Argentinian will move into the club's first team next season on a permanent basis.

Messi has been outstanding in the recent Fifa World Youth Championship, but was unhappy that he is still registered with Barca's B team.

Negotiations with the 18-year-old midfielder and his father have now taken place and he has been assured a place in the first-team squad for next term.

"Messi has already proven that he is ready to play for Barcelona," added Beguiristain.

"He will make the move up from the B team."

Actually its political historical persecution, to a degree...maybe..

Whats wrong with beeing german? Do you lads have bothersome history? ^^

What about Montoya?

The agent of Louis Saha has told skysports.com that several clubs have enquired about his client but that he is content at Old Trafford.

Saha has been the subject of much speculation of late having played second fiddle to Ruud van Nistelrooy and Wayne Rooney for much of last season - in a campaign blighted by injury.

United chief Sir Alex Ferguson has always expressed an utmost faith in the pacey Frenchman and it is such assurances that have convinced the player that he has a long-term future in Manchester.

Saha's agent, Ranko Stojic, has confirmed that the player has decided to fight for a first team berth and will only seek a move should United add a further striker to their ranks.

''After the reassurances from Mr Ferguson it is 90 percent sure that Saha will stay in Manchester,'' Stojic told skysports.com.

''It is also his wish to try to prove himself. The only option under which we would press for his leaving would be if Manchester buys another world class attacker.

''Michael Owen for example and in the same time van Nistelrooy stays at the club.

''Then, with Rooney in the team, Saha stands as a fourth option - which is unacceptable for us.

''But before Saha left on a vacation we had a meeting with Mr Ferguson concerning his future plans.

''As he told us, he values him very much and would like Saha to stay at Manchester - underlining that he is still very much in his plans for next season.''

Stojic continued to confirm that a quartet of clubs had enquired about Saha's services - including two from The Premiership.

Long term suitors Newcastle and Everton both remain interested but for the moment, it seems likely that he will remain at United.

''It is true that there was big interest from several clubs for Saha,'' continued Stojic.

''Everton, Newcastle, I got calls from Monaco, Marseille but my answer is no - he stays at Manchester.

''The most important thing for him is the meeting with Ferguson. He has extremely good relations with him and Alex likes Saha as his son.

''Their relationship is very sincere, so Alex would certainly have told us, 'look, I cannot guarantee that you will play much next season.'

''Saha trusts Alex very much. So our decision is based on that very constructive meeting with Ferguson.

''The only thing that would make us change that decision is if as previously mentioned a world class attacker comes and van Nistelrooy stays.''

Could be us...could be us...

What do you think about Baros? Would he be an improvement?

According to DailyStar we are looking at Scott Chipperfield from Basel...

Quick question! Someone said Zoltan Gera was a playmaker... really?

I was certain, he was a right winger?!

Phillips will be a much better partner for JPA then BT.

Add that JPA is 100 times better then BT, then we actually have saved some geldt..

But as long DOL gets what he wants, i support him 150%.

Do you think the list was written with a pencil....?

Phillips will probably do us a world of good. He has talent, experience, ability and seems like a great pro. But when we have been practically told, "We will show YOU the money", or substantial funds etc. Then we expect some signings according to that.

DOL have earlier drooled at players, hear this.., WITH A PRICE TAG.

This isnt DOLs list and you all now it.

Embarrasing

Riquelme is worth a shot

If he cuts his hair, he might be N1 one day...

I dunno. Im hoping they are. To be honest i havent seen them play so much...

Wright has endured a frustrating time at Goodison since his £3.5million move from Arsenal in 2002

Wasnt it Ipswich?

Dam i was just about to post that. Is their some sort of .no inet delay or what ffs... :roll:

Distin. Simply because JPA will have a wicked season... my guess 21 league goals..

Is it allowed with some racial jokes??

Btw. I was watching BBC and parkinson, and they had this really funny irish stand-up comedian there. I do believe his name was Bri something, but i dont remember. Anyway, the dude was brilliant!

Wasnt he called a snake in sheeps clothing by an american judge? He seemed to think of Glazer like a man doing whatever whenever whereever, to his own benefit off course...

Maybe Glazer could have bought us... would definatly be cheaper :]

But for what its worth, i think Glazer is a rat.
