Why not just use Park on the opposite side of Ronaldo if that's the case? Tt was because Nani went shit throughout last season, and as good as Park is, some games we need a more threatening player there(Park need rest etc), which Rooney is, and we have better strikers in Berba and Tevez. But other times it's also due to tactical reasons.. using Ronaldo as the furthest forward, and Rooney and another one out wide.

He plays on the right. Nani/Park will battle it out for the other spot. I hope Nani really cement that place.

Last season, yes he was mediocre. But before that he was a lot more threatening than Park ever been, and also was pretty good throughout that season. Get back into that form, and LW will really be his. Like you said, need a lot of games for him to get there.

Don't get too excited yet. Those quotes could be fake. Someone called Predator broke that story in a website..

Let's hope Tevez really goes there and they sign another couple of good strikers. That would be fun. Good luck in whichever finals you will play with City, Carlos!

From the quotes, looks like Real are close to signing someone. They just speculate it's Benzema. Could be someone else. And so far nobody knows whether that quotes from Prjanic is true or not.. soccernet/skysports just copy paste the news from some website.

80m. I bet the glazers put all those money in a pool, and swim in it.

Lyon denied that story.. jeng jeng jeng.

Of course. Manucho is a confirmed starter next to Berba with Rooney playing behind them.

While Berba was in the centre circle smoking his cigar and looking cool..

They're everywhere..

Manucho heading to Real Madrid too? NOO!!

Well, that means Real would steer clear of Manucho.. Happy days!

30-35m pounds is pretty cheap for someone like him(reputation, potential to be one of the best striker). I now hope Valencia(the club) really went bankrupt.

Wonder if Higuain is available now..

There must at least be one that haven't gone busuk yet!

I doubt they would go for Villa as well now that they have Benzema, with Kaka playing behind him..

If we don't win the CL this coming season, I hope Barca would win it. The final would be held at the Bernabeu right?

That's the end of their striker search unless they really plan to sell of their other strikers apart from Raul.

If they really get Ribery and Alonso as well, that would really be one hell of an attacking side.
Ronaldo-Alonso-L.Diarra-Ribery
Kaka
Benzema

They can always sell their training ground..

6 great years, a CL throphy and another final, a couple EPL title, and other cups, and 80m CASH.. I have no problem whatsoever if we buy someone like that again.

What's so bad about his attitude? Him dreaming of Spain/Real? Did it stop him from giving his best in his time here?

With Real chasing Villa, there might have been a chance for us, although god knows if we were really seriously interested in him. But once Real enter the picture, that's that..

A couple of EPL throphies, a few cups, one CL and another final in 6 years, and got us 80m CASH. I won't mind it if we get someone who contributed half as much even though he won't stay all his life with us. We can't expect every players to want to stay their whole career with us. Ronaldo gave his all after all in his time here. And that's more than good enough.


We have missed out on Vassell..

Another shorty, an Argie, his father in law is Maradona.. stay well away clear from him.
