Off Season Puntsphere Rumours.

Sir Alex just hates Saha because he's made out of balsa wood. Each time he comes into contact with something other than the treatment table, he breaks a ligament or something

I hope he signs Owen. There have been noises about Sir Alex moving Smith back into midfield in a holding role to eventually take over from Roy Keane (maybe sooner rather than later 'cause I think Keane's had it at the top level). I think this is very likely since United have made no moves for midfielders this summer.

Solskjaer is back from injury, apparently, tho' I haven't seen him play for the reserves yet and who knows what he'll be like after 2 years out of the game -- with him and Saha increasingly injury prone, Rooney and RVN need cover.

Owen FTW

Rumor has it that Spurs (Dutch coach Martin Jol) is in the race to buy Dutch national top striker Dirk Kuyt.... Altough Kuyt (Feyenoord Rotterdam) is not for sale.... money can do change things.

PSV Eindhoven is forcing a transfer for Salomon Kalou (also Feyenoord Rotterdam) they're gonna try to force the transfer by bringing it to court....

Can manutd afford him, with the £500,000,000 debt they already have.

Would that be wise for a club in the midst of a financial crisis.

Man Utd should let us have him. You got Rooney over us last season. It's only fair.

Ungrateful sod ... we did sell you Nicky Butt.

Toon Price Putting Wenger Off Jenas
8/8/2005 3:58:00 PM
Arsene Wenger has confirmed his interest in midfielder Jermaine Jenas, but he feels Newcastle are asking for too much for the England international.
Wenger said: "I like Jenas but I’m not intent on any player at the moment.

"When I heard Graeme Souness’ statement a few weeks ago, it was discouraging. He spoke in the region of £20m - we are not interested at that price."

Jenas, who has also been interesting Tottenham, was immediately identified as a possible replacement for Patrick Vieira following the Frenchman's move to Juventus earlier this summer.
