Slight difference of course in that United were a well-established (some would say the TRUE) premiership-title winning side for several years before this spending spree. Chelsea were never considered one of the big 4 (or big 5, 6, etc) before Roman turned up.

Plus I think Chelsea spent a little more than £50m ;)

Got a feeling if any deal is done it will be a loan deal, with an actual full transfer this time next year, the problem is though, he has a playing contract with us and we don't want him to go, so unless he really wants to move, he'll still be with us next season

Mmmmmmm, difficult decision that, :rolleyes: :D

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

What no one has ever turned Man Utd down before, he has already turned Inter down and if we try hard enough we could well convince him his future lies with us, even if we just see how it goes until January, loyalty and commitment to the fans aren't alien words to this guy

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

Not beeing a hammer I can't say how the fans will feel if he were to leave West Ham for Man U, but considering he was almost solely responsible for you staying up, I dont think there would be too many fans moaning at him wanting to go to Man U.

I think he should say and get West Ham into Europe!

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

Tevez and Mascherano when they arrived were spouting about how proud they were to be playing for the hammers, how they have changed their tune now?
I hope Tevez stays, he has already cost us 5.5 million pounds in a fine alone.

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

He is hero worshipped and has always been a favourite even when things were tough for him, I am sure he'll always get a warm welcome when he comes back but I am not convinced he'll go, partly due to your 'getting us into Europe' line, when he first arrived he said he wanted to emulate his hero Maradona at Napoli, there is absolutely no chance of that at Man Utd, he'll just be another big fish in a big pond

The Blades are going to the High Court, looking for £50m compensation... :Yikes:

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

I think the theory there is, "Always ask for more than you know you might get".

The premier league has thrown their case out, an abitration panel has voted against their case, and I think the High Court will follow suit, unless McCabe knows otherwise, plus the hammers have been fined 5.5 million pounds, however,
As one decision was not possible, but the next best thing was possible but not granted, usually means, "You are wasting your time".

The only thing I don't understand is why did West Ham withold the third party interest, when signing the Argentinians, knowing it was against the rules. :confused:

It does seem a bit suspect I have to say. Maybe Panorama should investigate :)

Matt Lockwood moves from Orient to Forest. Chris Cohen and Arron Davies rumoured to be on their way from Yeovil.

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

The Blades are appealing, not from where I am sitting they're aren't :D

Chris Cohen is pretty good :tu:

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

So is Davies. He certainly ****ed on us in the playoffs. Cohen and Lennon in the middle, with Perch, Clingan and McGugan as backup, with commo left and Davies right, we will walk League 1 Leeds or no Leeds.

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

He seems keen on the move -

There seems to be a few complications with the transfer as the Premier league are sticking their noses in but i think it will happen and it will be another excellent signing for the club :tu:

Re: Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread
 

Representatives say Carlos Tevez has agreed terms with Man Utd.

No link, it is on SSN.
