From what I have read on uniteds forum the deal will be announced in the next 4-5 hours

Inter was hinting that he will most probably leave during the post match interview

So its more or less inevitable :fear:

official forums :batman:

 

lol thr's nothing official about those forums.

 

last year i read that Silva n Ozil were coming to United on those "official" forums.

 

but it might be true coz many sites are reporting this but all of them are quoting the same newspaper La Gazette. BTW, this same paper reported 2 weeks back that a deal between United n Inter has been agreed n Sneijder is coming to United.

 

just wait for Skysports.. if they say the deal is done then it's done n they have been denying all of this till now.

 

 

i believe everything will get cleared on Monday.

Pastore seals PSG move

 

Chelsea and Manchester City target Javier Pastore has completed a reported £37million move from Palermo to Paris St Germain.

 

The Argentina international was the subject of sustained interest from the Premier League duo as well as both Milan clubs over the summer, but no one could agree a fee with the Serie A club.

 

However, Ligue 1 outfit Paris St Germain are flush with cash following the Qatar Investment Authority's investment in the club two months ago and had no problem matching Palermo's £37million asking price for the 22-year-old.

 

Speaking just prior to signing a five-year contract with the Parc des Princes club, Pastore expressed his desire to help them win their first French title since 1994.

 

"I am very eager to begin this new phase. They explained the project and immediately seduced me to the challenge," said Pastore.

 

"Winning the local tournament and the cup - I want the team to succeed in everything.

 

"In particular I will give my best in every game. It makes me immensely happy that they trusted me."

I am pleased to see Kuyt keeping the momentum going and now Andy seems to be settling in too. I can't wait to see if Luis will play the opener but knowing Kenny, he will rest him and take it from there. I can't see why people are seeing Glen's injury as a bad thing because to be honest he has kind of lost his spot on that side. All the new signings are also settling in slowly which is good news because we have to beat S'land on opening day.

 

Beating Valencia by two goals is a good thing imo but there are much harder tests ahead and I just hope we don't drop the ball against smaller teams because that seems to be our MO.

Blues agree Lukaku deal

 

Anderlecht have announced that they have reached an agreement with Chelsea for the sale of highly-rated Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku.

 

The Blues have been tracking the 18-year-old, who has already been capped at senior international level, for some time.

 

Negotiations between the clubs have been ongoing and they have now agreed a fee, with Lukaku set to travel to London in the next few days to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical.

 

Anderlecht confirmed the news on their official website and admitted that while they were sad to see him go, it was a good deal for both the player and themselves.

 

"RSC Anderlecht and Chelsea have reached an agreement regarding the transfer of Romelu Lukaku," read teh statement.

 

"Subject to the results of medical tests and the conclusion of negotiations between the player and the English club, Romelu Lukaku will therefore move into the colours of the London club."

 

General manager Herman Van Holsbeeck added. "We regret the departure of Romelu.

 

"He was discovered by us and trained in our youth teams. But this transfer is a win-win situation for everybody.

 

"We'll surely look for a suited replacement and hope to announce him soon."

 

Andre Villas-Boas was also asked about Lukaku after Chelsea's 3-1 pre-season friendly victory over Rangers on Saturday and he was full of praise for the youngster.

 

"He is a very interesting young prospect and the situation is now that we have to position ourselves to maybe get this kind of talent," said the Portuguese tactician.

Bro I saw the full match and don't really go by the score line. We did not create a single chance last night. The first goal was because the Valencia defender backpassed the ball to the goal keeper and Carroll was just behind him and intercepted the pass, then scored as he was 1v1. The second goal was also a very messy affair and could have been saved if it had been defended well. The only good thing yesterday was our defence. And Jordan Henderson was all over the place. Aquilani and Stuart Downing were two midfielders who seemed to be playing well. The rest still need a lot of time to adjust.

Lukakuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!

I hope he is not loaned out, hes only 18 (gat damn.. hes bigger than drogba and only 18 !) and can afford an year of less games, he will learn the art of owning defences from the master himself at the club.

As the last game before the start of the season, I don't think I'd take too much away from a win because now we go into the season with a positive on our backs. I don't think we will win all our games this season because this team is getting fresher by the minute and with everyone still learning their place its going to take time till November to sort things out. Plus, you have to take a positive away (I did see the goal highlights) from the fact that Andy is running after the ball more and that our midfield is shaping up better. It will be sad to see Aquilani go if he goes but apparently KK has given him the option to stay if he wants to.

 

I don't want to see Kenny's name tarnished because he made critical errors in purchases over the summer but going by the looks of things he was tired with the system that was in place and decided to just remove all of it and keep some blocks there with a better replacement and youth-improvement strategy. I am still on the fence with Jordan because this is pre-season so they are told not to expend themselves silly. It's when the season starts that we will know the full extent of their capabilities. One more week to go.
