Bahahahah united!

No matter how u look at it, theyve replace ronaldo and tevez with a washed up owen and an over rated valencia. They made a shedload on ronaldo and instead of splashing out on decent replacements they make a skint signing for nothing in michael owen then over pay for valencia.

bahaha

Once again I will be throwing my support behind Barcelona this coming season. Not only due to having a soft spot for them but to also have a good laugh at Real's expense this time next year.
:correct: Same here.

- Man Utd is lining up an offer for Ashley Young and will be fighting with AC Milan for Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

- Wigan face a battle with Sunderland for Stephen Hunt.

- Bolton want Manchester City ace Gelson Fernandes.

- Richard Dunne's £4.5million move to Sunderland is being held up by Manchester City's search for a replacement.

- West Ham are considering a move for Barcelona striker Eidur Gudjohnsen.

- Manchester City are ready to turn to Spanish international striker Dani Guiza if they fail to land Samuel Eto'o.

- Jermaine Pennant is in talks for a move to Sunderland.

- Bolton are set to offer £3million for Zat Knight.

- Tottenham will have to pay around £12million to sign Lille's Brazilian midfielder Michel Bastos.

- Stoke boss Tony Pulis is ready to save Benjani from his Manchester City hell with a £5m bid.



and just for a laugh

- Blackburn Rovers are offering a trial to former Italy striker Christian Vieri.

Michael Owen has just passed a medical at Manchester United.

WTF??? I thought this was a joke but it is actually true! :shocked:

Out: Ronaldo and Tevez
In: Valencia and Owen

What is Ferguson thinking?? :laughing:
This is just another pure marketing move from Man Utd. Now they'll have revenue from the sales of:

Home kit

Away kit

Third kit

Michael Owen First Aid kit

Manchester City have added to their collection of strikers by signing Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor on a five-year deal for a fee of about £25m

The 25-year-old joins fellow new signings Roque Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez at Eastlands.

And with Robinho, Craig Bellamy, Valeri Bojinov and Benjani also on their books, City have an embarrassment of riches up front.

"I can't wait to play for City's fans and show them what I can do," he said.

"I was born to play football and that is what I want to do. I have come here to make history for this club and those supporters.

"It what the chairman and the manager told me that they want too and I can't wait to get started."

Adebayor, who was also linked with linked to AC Milan and Chelsea, spent three-and-a-half seasons with the Gunners after joining them from Monaco for £7m, scoring 62 goals in 142 games.

He scored 30 goals in the 2007-08 season but struggled with injuries in the last campaign and also incurred the wrath of some Arsenal fans, who felt the striker lacked commitment.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said he was sorry to see Adebayor leave, but insisted he had no immediate plans to replace him.


"We're not on the verge of signing anybody but I'm able to spend the money if we find the right players," he said,

"We have Tomas Rosicky and Eduardo back so we've lost a big striker but have gained two offensive players who were absent last season.

"We also have Nicklas Bendtner, Andrey Arshavin, Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott who can play striker. We have top players we can use as strikers.

"But we'll miss Emmanuel - he's a great player. I'm sure he'll give something special to Man City.


He adds vital balance and power to our attack - he has everything a top forward needs.

City boss Mark Hughes
"If you consider the money we paid for him it was good business, but that was not our main target."

City boss Mark Hughes said Adebayor's arrival was a major step forward for the club.

"Emmanuel has been one of the top forwards in the Premier League since he arrived from France and we are delighted he has agreed to come and join us," he said.

"Along with the other signings we have made in the last two windows he will greatly enhance our ability to compete with the top sides.

"His arrival is another clear indication that we are determined to augment the players we have here with the best of international talent.

"He adds vital balance and power to our attack. He has everything a top forward needs. He is versatile, powerful, quick and agile on the ball.

"I am looking forward to working with him as are the rest of the staff. He will definitely add a new dimension to our play. I have been a great admirer for a long time."

City, backed up the huge financial wealth of their owners, the Abu Dhabi United group, are eager to break into the Premier League's top four this coming season and have shown their determination with their close-season spending.

Midfielder Gareth Barry was bought from Aston Villa for £12m and City paid Blackburn about £18m for Paraguay international Santa Cruz.

City completed a deal for Tevez on Tuesday, with the Argentine joining after City paid a fee of about £25m to secure his registration from third party ownership after his contract with Premier League champions Manchester United expired.
