Ribery Breaking News......(MERGED)

lessens the time for counter bids..

Yeah but if Madrid or Chelsea wanted him surely they would bid anyway and not waited for us to bid

Most though his move to Real was a full on cert.

Bentley a smokescreen for Ribery? :O

Would love us to get Ribery but would that mean Robby would be left out? :(

Not necessarily, Madrid could have been smug enough to believe they could get him next January when their team have settled a bit - and Chelski may not have wanted to get in to a bidding war and may still try and nick him with an eleventh hour bid! obviously this is all speculation.

Not needed, why sign just for the sake of it. We'd be hoarding talent then and then just end up with unhappy players we'd have to shift on the cheap this time next year. It's world cup year as well so more than ever players will want first team football. Can't see it unless something is happening with Robi which I doubt.

I just thought that myself too...who would bid against the team we all know Ribery wanted to join ??

 

[chazmcfc]

if this happened then WOW, WOW, WOW.

would be better than the robinho transfer.

I dont think this will happen. But its a strange day for Ribery to come out about his feelings for the manager..

 

[bobmcfc]

there are encouraging signs that ribery could move

1 he hates van gaal

2 he will be down to the last year of his contract next summer and his fee will be reduced from a possible 60m now to 20m next summer or a free the year after !

3 they bought robben who is better on the left than right

Another thing, time is rapidly running out.
