Can't wait to see how ridiculous Real's spending will be once Mourinho steps up; wouldn't surprise me if they go all out again.
Dunno how I feel about Villa, good player but for that money i'd have wanted someone a bit younger. Ibra's going now? City will prob be knocking on his door....i'd lose it if we bought him unless he wanted a massive wage drop.
In other news:
Manchester United are prepared to allow Anderson leave Old Trafford in a player-swap-plus-cash deal to land £38m-rated Benfica winger Angel di Maria.
Manchester City have entered the race to sign Bayern Munich's £50m-rated winger Franck Ribery. Barcelona and Real Madrid have dropped out because of the player's personal problems, thus leaving City and Manchester United as the only serious interested parties.
Barcelona are ready to spend £70m to thwart Chelsea's interest and bring Liverpool's Spanish international striker Fernando Torres to the Nou Camp.
Ajax have told Manchester United that it will cost £35m to persuade them to sell Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez this summer.
Liverpool are preparing a double swoop for Manchester City's Stephen Ireland and Chelsea's Joe Cole. The Anfield club are confident they have sufficient funds to finance both fees, and hope to persuade Cole to take a lower wage.
I'd fucking laugh at Joe Cole if he moved to the Reds. Lower wage and no CL......yyeaaahh, offer's too good to resist.
