yeah ive read somewhere he punched ronaldo in training. .

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

not read that about punching Ronaldo.. at the moment the team isn't playing to Ruud's strength if we had two proper wingers crossing the ball into the box he would get 40 goals a season as the style of the team has changed Ruud hasn't fitted into it so well..

The problem with Saha is that you can't rely on him over a 40 game season.. we all know he will miss a few games through injury so we need someone like Ruud at the club too

great to see Rossi get a start but not his best game.. he's already had about 3 hat tricks in the reserves.. not kept full track might have been more.. and deserved to play..

Ruud might be off to AC or PSV.. if he signs for AC I expect Shevchenko to go to Chelsea

still think we can get more than the quote 8m which is only the same amount as Crouch went for.. also look at what happened when we got rid of Bartez.. we paid of his contract instead of selling him.. Stam went cheap ( and we are still owed money on that ) and even Beckham could have gone for alot more.. Real would have gone to 40m but we never even asked that much

we not great at these sort of dealings

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

thats true. . we lack a crosser of ball since beckham went, although i am still behind fergies decission to let beckham go we haven't replaced him...

diarras name keeps getting thrown around for midfield as well as carrick. i still think graveson would be good worker for midfield. and what about ballack does anyone know whats going on with him, will he be a chelsea moneygrabber next year?

Yeah some people on Red Issue mentioned a fight in training between Ronaldo and van Nistelrooy.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

who won ?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

i think ruud won but ronaldo winning in long term cause ruud is on way out. i think its obvious why they don't get on. ruud doesn't like to check back and forth waiting on a cross from ronaldo that will never come.

I see Fergie paid off Charlton to secure 2nd spot ;) tsk tsk.... Pretty good season all round for us I think. Massive total and I think we could have done even better. Looking forward to next season. Just need a striker as our midfield is extremely strong with Sissoko, Gerrard and Alonso.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

ha liverpool need a striker and we need a midfield lol

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Swap you Ruud for Xabi

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

You might be better of with Sissoko

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

No one having Xabi :) or Sissoko. They are absolutely brilliant and such a steal at 10 Million for Xabi.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Ruud aint worth 8mill but because its man u they will get it. Fergie selling at the right time.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

who do you support? with right service ruud is one of best strikers in world. easily should command a +10m transfer!

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

He is 30 now though.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

He has not really done much this season either apart from disrupt the dressing room.
