Have heard two rumours as to what it's about, both naughty but only one really dodge, however I'll wait til they're in public domain for fear of getting site/self in legal strife.

According to the Italian Tuttosport newspaper, it is claiming Juventus are looking at buying Jermain Defoe when the January transfer window opens

Whites kicking arse in the Masters

Although Villa just scored. ****ing Tommy Johnson. It's fifteen years later and he's still a wanker.

Bebe's been left out of United's 25-man squad. Actually, it's a 24-man squad. They opted to pick air instead of him.

I wonder what's behind his signing. Everything about it seems rather curious...

Actually you'll find the 25th person we've registered is Own Goal, had a crackin domestic campaign last year.


Looking at it, think Fergie thinks we've enough strikers for a European campaign (where he favours one up top) and would rather keep a space open for registering a new player in January (only allowed a certain number of replacements, but gaps in the original 25 can be filled i think)


Hargreaves not being in doesn't really offer much hope though.

Yeah but if he's so surplus to requirements then why spend £8m on him?

You couldn't exactly say it's a bad signing- not yet anyway- but it's a pretty curious one. I wonder if Fergie even had anything to do with it.

If he hasn't seen him play before he can't have had that much to do with it.

Word was that he signed him on the back of a glowing recommendation from Carlos Quieroz, in the knowledge that he had to make a snap yes/no decision because other clubs were in the hunt.

Because he may not be surplus to requirements in a couple of years down the line, and hopefully he'll be of a calibre that a similar player would cost 3 times as much. Thats the reckoning behind the transfer.... Basically all chips have gone on red, just gonna take time to see where the ball lands

Basically 3 other clubs were in for him. We matched the bids and he chose us. Having come from playing 3rd division football last season he's clearly not up to standard. Also clear he's not a striker based on his game against England U21s. When he was released if being lone man he actually showed some influence on the game. Anyway not ready for Europe and so no big he's not registered. If he's not registered in 2 years then he's a bad signing.
