We had people like Owen Hargreaves and Wayne Rooney down as long term targets. We waited for Hargreaves and his club to be ready (through his injury too). I'm also not sure it's not what Liverpool get up to either but it's just not as well publicised. I too struggle to see how anyone can call Real Madrid the best club in the world. I'd even put Liverpool before them as they've had more success in recent years.

Annasfield Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Players do not go from Liverpool to Manchester or the other way. You would never have signed Owen.:)) Every club does it, I just found it hilarious that they are getting so riled by it. The problem is they know he wants to leave. 40 goals in a season from a winger is a hell of a lot and without that, they may struggle. That said, ?70 odd million, should buy a couple of half decent players. ?70 million ffs!!! Absolutely ridiculous, if his comments were true and he said that about my club I'd want him to leave. He's clearly not a team player. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/127/#findComment-108128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandperson Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I think we'll be ok without him. As you say we can get a couple more players in for that money. As for getting riled, this is Fergie you're talking about, he loves a bit of rile...it's what gets him out of bed in the morning. :)-DNot sure about the team player thing. Liverpool seem to have forgiven Gerrard after his head was turned by Chelsea.

Keef Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I never went once this season which is bad form, I will make an effort next year, any excuse to wear my DH strip (the away shirt, I couldn't handle wearing the amount of pink required by the home strip).

Keef Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Spurs look like they could have made a very good signing with this Dos Santos from Barca! Came through the youth ranks, and broke in to the first team. Only 19 and a Mexican international, plays on the wing or up front. Apparently well rated, but behind Messi in the pecking order... Could be a very good player for the Spurs... Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/127/#findComment-108298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonM Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I really think if Ronaldo does go to Real for ?75 million - or however absurd his price will turn out to be - then the pressure on him to perform will be so huge - and the Real crowd is notoriously impatient and fickle - that his failure to meet impossible expectations may wreck his career. Or he may get a long term injury in his 2nd or 3rd game with the same result.Man Utd on the other hand will spend probably less than half of this money on Santa Cruz of Blackburn - aybe Bentley too - nd never look back... Real will still do less well than the PL clubs in the Champions League.

atila the gooner Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I sa this on the the BBC Sports website and had a little chuckleBarcelona striker Samuel Eto'o has ruled out a move to Spurs - and hinted that Inter Milan remain an option. "Tottenham, and I hope the English fans will forgive me, are a club in mid-table and I need more," said Eto'o.

Ladygooner Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Sad to see Gary Lewin go but looking forward to seeing the new wunderkind Aaron Ramsey. Looks like we are trying to up our quota of "British" players. Annasfield - this thread was about to go onto page 3 so thought I should bump it up or you would never find it!
