got told today

[anny road]

and it involves the uveiling of there new kit / sponsors and 2 new players

 

I assume that one of them is the WBA keeper.........

[Rimbeux]

And Carrick, at that money, he'll be carried up the M-way

[Ronnie Whelan]

What fees are being spoken of for Carrick?

[R A Softlad]

There are those who speaketh of fees as high as 16 pieces of gold...

[Rimbeux]

What fees are being spoken of for Carrick?

 

up around £14m

[Ronnie Whelan]

So an average of 15m. Obviously we would not touch him at that price as we already have the best midfield in the premiership once we sort out our RM and play 5 across the middle , but he could well be exactly what the munster want in that position.

[Spike]

Good business at £20m

 

 

 

for us

[Barnesy_10]

heh Spurs muyst be laughing.... they flog Carrick for 15m and buy in Zokora who is the better player for cheaper

[Knox_Harrington]

but he could well be exactly what the munster want in that position.

They need two, probably three and possibly four across midfield.

[MarkD]

One of the players they have at Utd might be Senna from Villareal.

[Knox_Harrington]

We won't know if we don't bid. You may well be right on b), but I think the chance to ram some goals past Ginsoak and C.Ronaldo would be attractive to him.

To be fair we may have found out with two phonecalls. One to the club, one to the player.

[John am Rhein]

what's the point in bidding if a) he doesn't want to move to us and more importantly b) they wouldn't sell to us.

 

This is why I hate the use of the journalese word 'bid' in cases like this.

 

It's not an auction, FFS!

 

We won't know if we don't bid.

 

Maybe we already have bidded in private!

 

Or are all bids conducted through the media?

 

 

To be fair we may have found out with two phonecalls. One to the club, one to the player.

 

or just one - to Aidan O'Brien

[Cobs]

we should make a public bid just to end the speculation

[John am Rhein]

or risk being accused of LACKING AMBITION!!!

 

He could be the final piece in the jigsaw!

[Bailo]

Quite possibly. It's not like I'm to get in a strop because we don't sign him, just think he'd be perfect for us.

Alves proves we lack ambition, lack a dynamic CEO and lack money already. RvN would just be the topping on an ambition-less cake.

[Knox_Harrington]

I'd love to sign him but for whatever reason it isn't going to happen.

[Hightown Phil]

I'll get Al Maktoum on the blower.

[Jarg Armani]

i'd offer him a jump shaped like a little castle and all the sugar lumps and handfulls of grass in the world to munch on but it wouldn't make a jot of difference i'm afraid.

 

(has anyone else ever noticed how he looks a bit like a horse?)

[MarkD]

(has anyone else ever noticed how he looks a bit like a horse?)

 

Neigh, not me.

[M4TTA]

Neigh, not me.

[Tosh]

[floyd]

Quinton Fortune is close to sealing a move to Bolton.

[Cobs]

Utd are signing that WBA keeper

[AC]

What fees are being spoken of for Carrick?

 

mate who played YT for West Ham spoke to Carrick in Marbella and he cant wait to get to Utd, reckon spurs is a really boring club! spoke to Jenas and he said Defoe was off as well. Said about the world cup and he got really angry about Defoe not going and Wallcott etc, sounds like the whole squad were! Said Ronaldo was off and couldn't wait! Hinted that he kicked off big time after the game!!

 

They were all absolutely smashing lads and were mingling well happy!! apart from Rio who insisted on a vip spot in the middle of the dance floor in the worst club out there and acted a c**k! mate who played at WH with him reckon he wasnt all there but a class A bloke....on the night anyway!!

 

(picking up a few things on the way out.....just got back)
