the actual rumor was that the club said "name your price" and United responded with that ridiculous 50+Robi+Diarra+Ramos.
Marca loves the summer time.

Wow...Inter will have some great pickups if those go through. I can imagine Drogba playing in Serie A, diving is what Italians do best
It will definetely be interesting to see Hleb go over to Barca, will he be playing in Yaya Toure's spot? Cause he was saying he wants to go and join Koloat Arsenal

Yaya Toure was one of Barcelona's best players last year (argueably the best, Messi being the other.) I fully expect him to stay there next season.
Toure is more of a DM whereas Hleb's ideal place is CM.
btw, Didnt Arsenal turn down Yaya after trials? lol

^Great info up there. I really hope Yaya Toure comes to Arsenal. Awesome to hear the quick recovery of Eduardo.
Seems like everything went down hill for us once we lost Eduardo.

Just read that on Goal.com
I think the kid is good as gone, gimme my 90 million euros and lets close this long chapter. Raid Portugal again for Veloso, and either Moutinho or Quaresmaand swoop Benzema from Lyon and lets get %*%# in line for a threepeat. Lock up Tevez and Evra long term, and get them focused on the pitch rather than wherethey'll be playing tomorrow.
How easy it is to spend others money
SAF Make it happen

The likes of Chelsea, Barcelona and Real Madrid have all been linked with the 20-year old, who is one of Europe's most promising youngsters after again impressing this campaign, firing twenty goals as Lyon claimed their seventh consecutive league title.
Ferguson, who has become increasingly frustrated with Louis Saha's injury problems this season, is now set to move for Benzema within the next week to avoid having to pay more should the youngster impress for France this summer.
If The Red Devils fail in their bid to land the player already dubbed a new Bleus legend in France, Ferguson has a shortlist of forward candidates which includes Tottenham Hotspur's majestic striker Dimitar Berbatov, Sevilla's Fabiano and West Ham United's Dean Ashton.
The 66-year old has been handed a hefty transfer budget by the club's owner Malcolm Glazer, an amount that could be made all the larger should Cristiano Ronaldo opt to leave Old Trafford for Real Madrid within the next three days.
F it, offer 25 mil and get the +@%% done
