Negredo plus VDV plus 12 mil for Alonso. Or Negredo plus Sniejder plus 8 mil. I can see us getting more Real Madrid scraps than just Negredo. I dont think Alonso leaving would be all bad, especially for the money + players that have been thrown around. I just hope Real Give us first preference on some of their players they dont want anymore.

Apparently they will be giving United first preference as apparently relations are good after the Ronaldo deal. Don't know who would be better out of VDV or Sneijder, my heart says Sneijder as he is my favourite player outside United now that Nedved retired, his shotting is top notch from all ranges, his set pieces are better than Ronaldo's imo and he is one of my faves where as VDV also has a great set piece but is a better dribbler and attacker. I think Sneijder wins, just

Alonso <-> Sneijder, Robben, VDV and Negredo and I'll think about it and get back to you.

:-s

You did read that before you clicked "post", right?

Yeah, and I stand by it. Alonso's an underavalued member of the team. If he leaves we'll be all out of shape.

Maybe, but his value isnt anywhere near that of those players combined. But I get what you mean.

Well how much do you think Alonso's worth then??

$30 million Euros. Not a peny more.

:-S We rejected a bid for that many POUND. You do realise you just said he was worth less than Carrick, right? Less than Sneijder. He's worth more like 35mil GBP.

I know, but you asked me for my valuation of him. You got it. Carrick would probably be the same in my books.

What his value is isnt always what the other club will pay for him.

I can see Bresciano go to Rangers as a replacement for Barry Ferguson about 3m...

What the fuck?

Im waiting for the Essien and Fabregas rumours to start.

GTFO he better not be allowed to go for any sum of money
I don't care if its a 100 million pounds
Essien can not leave

Fabregas said he's staying with Arsenal.

On soccernet presspass tonight they where talking about how real madrid needed a defensive midfielder like claude makelele to keep the defensive shape of the team... essien fits in perfectly and i wouldnt be suprised to see them go for him despite having a few ie. diarra

Fuck off. We turned down your offer for him last year and that was about 18 million pounds. Why we would we sell him for 3 million less than you offered for him before? i won't accept anything under 20 million

What he said. If Chelsea are even contemplating talking to Real about a transfer it will be further evdence that the club is run by morons.

Both Diarra's do the job very well at Madrid though neither are Galacticos

Trez for Elano is interesting, Juve have a very basic midfield Diego has come in to bolster the loss of Nedved, Elano would be a good pick up too. Seems Trezeguet might aso end up going to Roma but it appears Juve are interested in Lazio's Pandev as well so he could possibly end up in an exchange for Pandev. Trezeguet is a great player and it has also been reported that Bacra are interested but at Juve he has fallen behind Iaquinta, Amauri and Del Piero at the moment and isnt settled

Bloody clubs are jacking the prices up now, 23 million for Valencia? No way, much rather spend that money on Tevez

What happened to the rumours linking Trezeguet with a swap for Benzema + cash?
I thought that was a good idea.

Cant say i heard those, Trezeguet has been linked heavily with Roma this season and Barca last season. I remember reading that he wants to retire at Boca as his dad is Argentinian I think

i would like saviola, but not xabi to leeve
