Transfer Rumours summer 2008 - Page 8

LewisLaa · 23-04-2008, 02:48 AM

No matter how much I would love it if Ronaldo left England (unless he came to liverpool) I don't think he'll leave until he's like 27..

RevolutionMikE5 · 23-04-2008, 02:50 AM

you'd like him at l'pool?

LewisLaa · 23-04-2008, 02:52 AM

Who wouldn't want Ronaldo at your club? He's a Phenomanon. Not that I think he'd play well with us.. I mean if he played as well with us as he did with man u, then yes.

But that will never happen, if SAF won't sell us Heinze he won't sell us Ronaldo!

RevolutionMikE5 · 23-04-2008, 02:53 AM

realisticly, you'll never get ronaldo, from man united anyway. but i thought most scousers hated him.

LewisLaa · 23-04-2008, 02:56 AM

I only hate him when we play him, I love watching him though... He's very unique, much different to Ronaldinho, very entertaining. I look forward to Euro 2008.

But yeah we'll never get Ronaldo. Not ever.

RevolutionMikE5 · 23-04-2008, 02:57 AM

maybe if we sold him to real and real sold him to you guys.

LewisLaa · 23-04-2008, 03:01 AM

Well i just don't think Ronaldo would ever come back to England unless it was for Man United. He seems to love it there and has said he hates all the speculation about him leaving because of much he loves the club. So coming back to England to play for one of, if not their feircest rival would be a bit thick in the head.

RevolutionMikE5 · 23-04-2008, 03:03 AM

yer right, he'll never play for you.

LewisLaa · 23-04-2008, 03:05 AM

In the mean time

Benitez looks dead set about signing Amauri

Interesting.

I'd still rather Villa.. but Amauri could be one for the future.

Maxi To Solve Rafa's Wing Problem

The 27-year-old has been a mainstay of the Atleti lineup since his big-money move from Espanyol in 2005.

After the departure of Fernando Torres for Liverpool, he was even appointed as club captain. But now, if these latest rumours are anything to go by, Javier Aguirre will again be on the lookout for a new skipper as Rafa Benítez weighs up the prospect of a bid.

The Argentina international can play either out wide or up front, but it is his capability on the right wing that may see Rafa interested: this would allow the ex-Newell's Old Boys man to occupy a key role in a 4-2-3-1.
However, his versatility is also a bonus, as he showed when operating as a part of a three man midfield for Argentina during the World Cup.

In what was an injury-ravaged 2006-07 season he managed just ten Liga appearances, but this time around he's started 28 matches, making a further three substitute appearances, netting eight times in the process.
He averages around a goal every three games, as he did at Espanyol - just the kind of contribution you need from a midfielder.

Considering that Maxi cost the Vicente Calderón outfit €7m three seasons ago, his price tag may have only risen since then. Something in the region of 12million is being suggested.

Milan want Sheva for free

Italian giants keen to land Chelsea striker on loan

Milan only want to sign Andriy Shevchenko from Chelsea if the striker is available on loan for free.

The Ukraine international has failed to make his mark in the Premier League after moving to Stamford Bridge for £30million from the Rossoneri in summer 2006.

But despite the money spent to bring him to West London, Shevchenko's agent Fabio Parisi has admitted that Chelsea cannot expect anything if the striker returns to Giuseppe Meazza.

Deal

Parisi said: "(Milan vice-president Adriano) Galliani has always been very clear when stating that the deal can only be done if Chelsea allow Milan to have the player as a free loan.

"If Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will give his okay then I think the deal could be done."

Milan are looking to bring in new faces this summer after a below-par season domestically and in the UEFA Champions League.

They are also keen on Ronaldinho, but have hit out at Barcelona over their asking price for the gifted Brazilian.

I'm liking all of these players we're linked with

I wonder who'll get the Number 7 jersey

If Villa or Bentley come they probably will I guess...

Exciting

theres rumors at the minute that keegan is looking into bringing henry back to UK. the sun said Barcelona are willing to sell him if they get most of the £16m they paid for him.

Why is he a striker in FIFA 08?

His preffered possy in real life is WM but he is only 72 OVR!!!

The problem with Henry going to a new club after being at Arsenal for so long is that Arsenal learnt to play FOR Henry. Meaning that if you could get it to Henry in a good spot he'd score. At Barcelona he simply does not fit.

No team will buy Kewell... Injured MOST of the time and starting to get old. That is why he's desperate to stay at Liverpool.

LewisLaa · 25-04-2008, 01:01 PM

He is?

He hasn't said anything except he just wants to please the fans. Harry Kewell is said to be injury prone but the truth is he's only had 2 injuries, and the Liverpool medical staff kept mis diagnosing him. I want him to go to Italy to revive his career, and we might just get another World Cup out of him.
