United is also planning to take out a 75 million-pound revolving credit line with a syndicate of banks led by JP Morgan to help it purchase new players, the offer document said.

edit: and YSMN, I guess Gerrard's wife kicked him out for having an affair with her twin sister. He even had the cheek to take her to the game tonight

must be patching things up then

David James to Stoke again.

David James to Stoke again.

Deal with Portsmouth is supposedly agreed and just subject to a medical tomorrow.

David Sullivan has said that West Ham have offered an unnamed striker £100k per week

It was offering the likes of Lucas Neil crazy money that has got them into this position in the first place and now they're at it again?

God knows who the striker is; can only think of RvN off the top of my head.

Most likely RvN that West Ham have offered those wages.

Anyone else heard the rumours that Dzeko was at the Emirates last night? Might be something and nothing but he'd be the perfect buy for Arsenal imo.

 

[CliffyG]

Didnt his agent say he was worth 40 mil recently though?

Not sure but I extremely doubt that his actual transfer would be that high. £20M tops I reckon.

 

[FrankJH]

Whats this about Gerrard?

 

[BaZ87]

I suppose so but ~£2m in wages alone when you're already losing money isn't that logical.

In other (surprising) news, Jo's loan to Everton has been cut short and he's immediately been loaned back out by City to Galatasaray.

Not transfer news but Diouf bagged a hat trick for the reserves tonight, the boy's had a great start to his United career - a debut goal at OT and now 3 in the reserves in his first game

Good signs

 

[Tummy]

O'shea is out for the season

O'shea is out for the season

Yep massive blow for us, Rafael is still very naive defensively despite his obvious talent, Brown will no doubt take the RB position back when Rio and Vidic are back so even with the options still available O'Shea is always a handy player to have in the squad given the amount of different positions he can play in

 

[Spunj99]

Yeah, but if it's £100 000/week to RvN for 6 months (with the option of a contract extension if all parties are happy) then it's not such a terrible move ;s.

It's still a terrible move for both parties. Looks like RvN is going to Hamburg now anyway.

 

[jakeke]

Why is RvN in demand? He's slow, **** and constantly injured. Very confusing.

 

[BFCTom]

He scores goals.

 

[jakeke]

Still? Last few times I've seen him he's been hopeless, and that's in Spain where I could probably grab a hat trick in certain games

I'm not sure if someone has already posted this but how is media speculation the fault of either club?

I guess he thinks the club have been "leaking" stories about kenwyn jones dealings to unsettle the player or make him interested in them even though there's been no official contact made.
