did anyone listen to talksport during spain game? they kept going on about united signing torres for 25m!

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

well, consdiering atletico were refusing offers of 40 million last season for him, and he's considered better now...

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

He is a bit similar to Rooney, don't you think?

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

yeah but i think fergie is trying to create that 4-3-3 formation have rooney and torres flanking a central striker. Torres is goalscorer but really shines in build up play.

with that 3 up top then ronaldo carrick and scholes/riquelme coming from midfield it would be superb XI

-Neville-----Rio------Vidic-------Heinze
-Ronaldo-------Carrick--------Scholes

---------------RVN------------------

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

Not sure about RVN, unless he pulls his socks up, otherwise that team looks good even without Giggsy & Wes

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

well i mean there is so many different formations and lineups that can be used with or without RVN etc. . . i guess it all depends on who we sign too ! lol

Craig Bellamy is in talks with Liverpool, that could be an interesting transfer, as if Bellamy can be bothered he is top quality, certainly worth a punt a six million.

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

personally i think bellamy is a horrible person and not even that great a player

imagine how bad his personally and how big his head will be if he is at a big club like liverpool.. can't see him fitting in there at all

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

As a person he is vile, he has no class. I think going to a massive club where he is not the big fish in the small pond might just sort him out, I hope so anyway, I always think it sad when a footballer waste's their talent.

Apparently Frank Ribery has turned down both Man Utd and Arsenal, I wonder if anyone has made him a better offer.

gudjohnsen to barcelona?

also, i cannot believe atletico have paid 23 million for aguero. i haven't seen him play yet, but no 18 year old is worth that much
