No comment.

awesome picture of Tevez under the red nosed one - looks like he should be in X-Men as mega-chin or something...

also thought it was interesting that our official site had the eto'o story on the front page (or on it at all) - never seen the OS do that before???

obviously think there's more to this whole thing than we know - normally we'd just get a report on SSN saying we have ended interest - we're intentially up to something by putting it on own site (aplogies if this has already been mentioned but couldnt be arsed checking the 800+ posts!)

good on boj today also - slimmer look is a lot more promising!

At least it might show Ferguson up as an utter hypocrite for this cobblers he tried to peddle earlier in the summer...

Manchester United's new policy on age rules out signing Franck Ribéry

Manchester United have made a long-term decision not to sign any players aged 26 or above for large transfer fees because of new financial stipulations that have been put in place at Old Trafford to shape the club's recruitment policy.

Instead, the policy from now onwards is that the club will have a strict age-before-ability approach in which they will sign players in big-money deals only if they will retain a significant market value some years after signing a five- or six-year contract.

Something the likes of Daniel Taylor and Pete Spencer lapped up.

Who knows, maybe the deal can be brought back up again.... if Barcelona play nicely.

To be honest, when they get Villa, I fully expect them to force out Eto'o, in which case, I don't think they'll give a shit.

There'll be an element of bluff in it on City's part but only in the hopes that he sees no one else coming in and starts to panic.

United are beyond pathetic.

Im sorry but some people on here need to take their blue tainted specs off

If utd get eto they will have possibly the best centre forward int he world (Top 3 definately)

Of course they can afford him.......he will pay for himself in merchadising alone....

forget all this about them not signing him because they wont sign players over 26....they just signed owen and he is older than that

if they offer 18-20m...barca will snap their hands off..........they are desperate to get rid

If eto is made aware of a bid by utd...he will go.....they can offer him everything he wants...champs league football and more wages than he is on now (maybe not as much as city were offering but still more than he is on at present)

we have managed to pave the way for his exist to which ever club now snaps him up.....we have made a mistake in pulling out of this bid IF he was actually interested in joining......which of course maybe he wasnt and was acutally all the time holding out for another club to come in for him
