I like the quote, it will give four more days for international fixture's, I think he is forgeting who pays the wages, not only will clubs lose players to injury they will also lose revenue from gate receipts and prize money, I hope that they tell them to get stuffed or that FIFA can foot the bill, they want the four extra days that much then let them pay for them.

For united fans, what you think of spending transfer budget on:

Carrick, Riquelme and Ribery?

Re: The official close season non-World Cup football gossip/rumour thread
 

i'd take ribery, as he is younger than roman. roman has consistency problems too

and that's coming from an argentina fan

He makes peter beadsley look attractive.

Re: The official close season non-World Cup football gossip/rumour thread
 

I can see United going for Defoe, Carrick and Ribery, apparently he is as good a prospect as Ronaldo.

he's hailed as the next zidane, but everyone seems to be the "next <insert name here> these days

Re: The official close season non-World Cup football gossip/rumour thread
 

i think riquelme would shine at united but i would rather we signed carrick first. proven in prem and can only get better playing in midfield along side ronaldo, giggs, scholes, rooney. .

Apparently Mohamedou Diarra's agent has told Man Utd he wants £100,00 0 per week, looks like that deals scuppered then.
