Kameni flattered by United talk

Carlos Kameni has admitted to being flattered by Manchester United´s interest in his services, but says he has no plans to leave Espanyol.

The young Cameroon keeper has caught the eye with his mature displays for Espanyol and has been linked with a summer move to Old Trafford.

Sir Alex Ferguson has never filled the void left by Peter Schmeichel´s departure and rumours persist that Kameni could be the next to try and replace the giant Dane.

Kameni is aware of the interest from Old Trafford and confirmed they had sent a delegation to see him in action recently, but claims he does not want to leave Spain in the near future.

" They sent some people to see me against Barcelona," he told Sky Sports. " But I am very proud to be here in Barcelona playing for Espanyol.

" My family are really happy here and I want to stay for a long time.

" I am very flattered to hear that a huge club like Manchester United are interested in me, but I am still young and have to work very hard so that in the future maybe one day I can go and play for another big club."

Solari no to United
Argentinian winger Santiago Solari last night revealed he rejected a mega-bucks move to Manchester United. The Real Madrid ace claims he was approached by United and Inter Milan - even though he was under contract. Solari snubbed both clubs and agreed a new four-year deal to stay at the Bernabeu. He said: " I had offers from Inter and United that I was analysing but football happens this way all the time. But I want to stay here and fight for my place."

Si Kameni veut pas partir et qu´Hildebrand a prolongé, ça sent Frey ou un gardien de Premier League...

Je vois bien Frey mais bon est-ce que l´on va vraiment recruter un gardien cet été.

Sinon je propose Buffon. ^^

A priori il faudra, vu que Carroll et Ricardo seront en fin de contrat...A moins que Howard retrouve une place de N°1 et qu´on prenne un jeune comme n°2.

Mais je pense qu´on recrutera un gardien.

et Landreau ?

Pas le niveau.

United to grant Giggs´s wish

--------------------------------------------------
------------------------------

Manchester United are reported to be ready to offer Ryan Giggs a new two-year deal that will almost certainly see the winger end his career at the club.

Giggs and United have been in dispute over his contractual situation, with 18 months left on his current deal.

The Welsh star has been seeking a two-year extension, but the club were only prepared to offer him a 12-month deal because of his age.

However, such has been Giggs´s form this term, United´s board seem ready to relent and hand the 31-year-old the further two years he desires.

The wideman has produced a series of scintillating displays this season, and was a crucial factor in the stunning 4-2 win over Arsenal at Highbury last Tuesday.

If he is granted the two-year extension, as expected, it will take him to within a few months of his 34th birthday, and seems likely to see him hang up his boots at the club where he has spent his entire career.

He was linked with a move away from Old Trafford after news of the disagreement on the length of his new contract, with both Bolton Wanderers and Real Madrid mooted as potential suitors.

However, such talk now seems dead in the water for a player who has already spent over 14 years with The Red Devils.

On va sans doute bientôt avoir la confirmation de la prolongation de Giggs, avec C.Ronaldo en discussions aussi.

Glazer in cash vow to Fergie
Malcolm Glazer´s latest Manchester United takeover bid will include a promise to hand Sir Alex Ferguson the transfer funds to challenge Chelsea. Glazer is finalising a renewed £800million plan for power at Old Trafford with a package he believes will be accepted by David Gill and United´s board. The owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will issue a vow to lift the current financial restrictions hanging over Ferguson as part of his charm offensive.

< << glazer a trouvé des investisseurs en plus de lui et promets un budget transfert equivalent a celui de chelsea . ....

Toujours pas motivé moi ! !!

Wenger and Fergie fight for Vicente
Bitter rivals Arsenal and Manchester United are ready for another ding-dong battle. This time they will feud over the signature of Valencia´s flying winger Vicente, who has put the Premiership on alert by announcing he wants to play in England. Vicente said: " I´d love to have a go in England. I really like the style of play in the Premiership."

< << si c´est vrai on a plus de moyens qu´arsenal et on l´aura . Vicente a vraiment declare dans un jounal espagnol vouloir jouer en angleterre .

Chelsea n´est pas sur le coup , liv ne peut pas nous concurencer et contre arsenal on gagnera je pense aussi .

Vicente a gauche , ronaldo a droite , le réve . .

CHELSEA SCANDAL: We reveal proof that will rock soccer

Dossier of shame

By Ryan Sabey
http://www.newsoftheworldld.co.uk/sto...ews/news1.shtml
A DAMNING dossier that PROVES Chelsea illegally " tapped-up" Arsenal ace Ashley Cole was handed to soccer chiefs by the News of the World yesterday.

We revealed details of the scandal last week. They have rocked football to its foundations.

And those details, along with evidence we have gathered since, could lead to runaway Premiership leaders Chelsea being docked crucial points.

We can PROVE Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon, manager Jose Mourinho, England star Cole, his agent Jon Barnett and soccer " super-agent" Pini Zahavi met ten days ago at the hotel caught up in Chelsea´s lies—the Royal Park in Lancaster Gate, west London.

The evidence we passed on to the Premiership chiefs includes:

An admission from a manager at the Royal Park Hotel that the extraordinary meeting DID take place.

A sworn account from a football fan who saw the party leave the meeting room.

Evidence that Zahavi paid for the group´s drinks on his own credit card before he left the meeting.

Our undercover investigator spoke to a manager at the Royal Park last Saturday, posing as a Chelsea official trying to pay the bill for the meeting two days earlier on January 27.

She immediately revealed Zahavi, Kenyon, Mourinho and Barnett were at the meeting.

Other inquiries have revealed England left-back Cole, 24, was also there.

The manager said Zahavi was given the Green Room free of charge for two hours. First we asked who paid for the room.

NoW: Did you make the invoice to Peter or to Chelsea or was it Jon?

MANAGER: I believe it was all done by Pini Zahavi actually because he was the one who booked it.

NoW: Oh right.

M: I´ve known Pini for many years and the meeting room itself was complimentary. Everything else was settled on his credit card I believe.

NoW: Right.

M: Or I can check and call you back?

NoW: Can I call you, what, in ten minutes?

M: Yes, absolutely.

Ten minutes later...

NoW: Are we talking about the same day because we had three meetings this week. Are we talking about Thursday?

M: We are talking about Thursday afternoon, yeah.

NoW: Yeah. Right, so there was no charge for the room?

M: No charge for the room.

NoW: Right.

M: I am just looking to find out...

NoW: Was Peter at the meeting, Peter Kenyon?

M: Yes he was.

NoW: Jon Barnett?

M: Yes.

NoW: And...

M: Jose...Mourinho.

Now: Yeah.

M: And Pini Zahavi.

The conversation continued with the manager admitting that Zahavi paid for drinks on his credit card, proving he was present.

NoW: So there was no charge. Right. I need to put it through today. What will I do, just charge it for drinks?

M: They only had teas and coffees. I´m not quite sure where we charged it to, to be honest.

NoW: I´m not too bothered about that because Pini would put it through, through their credit card slip. What time did they finish?

M: It must have been about four o´clock.

NoW: So they started at two?

M: Yeah.

NoW: And finished at four. So you don´t know roughly what the charges were, no?

M: No I don´t.

NoW: Ok don´t worry about that, I´ll speak to Pini. I´ll get him on the mobile. All right, thanks, I´m sorry to disturb you, thanks for your help. Bye.

When we approached the manager yesterday, telling her she had made vital admissions to the News of the World, she begged us not to identify her, saying she would lose her job. We agreed to hide her name because she is an innocent party.

After the meeting Mourinho, Kenyon and Cole were spotted leaving by a football fan. The shocked fan, who actually supports Chelsea, said: " I was gob-smacked. It was unbelievable.

" I had to do a double-take but there´s no doubt it was them."

Chelsea have failed to come clean on the story all week but our witness has sworn and signed an affidavit before a lawyer which says:

I saw Jose Mourinho, Peter Kenyon and Ashley Cole emerging from the boardroom at Royal Park Hotel, Lancaster Gate, at approximately 3.50pm on Thursday, January 27.

I had been at the hotel since 3.15pm preparing for my own meeting in the room. I did not see them arrive.

I became concerned that the people in the room had overrun and were delaying my meeting so I asked my personal assistant to check on how much longer they would be. As we were approaching the room, Mourinho, Kenyon and Cole came out. They had clearly been meeting together.

I have no doubt that the three people I saw were Mourinho, Kenyon and Cole.

Kenyon and Mourinho left in a black Range Rover with blacked out windows. I did not see Cole leave.

Our evidence proves the meeting was in clear breach of Premier League Rule K3, which states: " Any club which by itself, by any of its players, by its agent, by any other person on its behalf, makes an approach either directly or indirectly to a contract player shall be in breach of these rules and may be dealt with under the provisions of Section R."

Section R covers disciplinary procedures, including the docking of points.

Perfect

After reading our story last week, Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood said Chelsea should be docked points.

He said: " The Premier League rules are very clear. If the club is presented with evidence that those rules have been contravened I´m sure we will take the matter further."

Despite the evidence Chelsea, who celebrate their centenary next season, maintain there was no such meeting.

Asked on Sky Sports whether he had made any contact with Cole, boss Mourinho said: " I can tell you that is not true.

" Every player or any agent trying to improve the situation of his players is always connected with Chelsea."

He added: " On Thursday I flew to Milan, so I couldn´t be with Ashley Cole."

Chelsea chief Kenyon refused to deny making an illegal bid for Cole on BBC Radio 5 Live.

He said: " We´re not going to add to the speculation. We can´t knock back every story. We don´t want to debate it further because that´s club policy."

He added: " I think we conduct ourselves in the right manner, we certainly don´t view ourselves as above the law."

< << chelsea ont fait les cons . Ils peuvent payer cher . On parle de 5 ou 6 points en moins

I´m the man - and don´t you forget it

Captain fantastic

The Observer

In playing at home, John Aizlewood´s enjoyable if masochistic pilgrimage through an English league season, there´s a line that has always rankled. ´Thus Roy Keane, so thick that even other footballers must notice...´ Admittedly the writer was describing one of Keane´s more infamous moments, the initial tackle at Elland Road which would be the genesis of his blood feud with Alfe Inge Haaland. But still...
Perhaps the mood of the time excuses Aizlewood. He was writing a few seasons ago when it was still fashionable to caricature Keane as an all-drinking, all-fighting source of fodder to redtop newspapers. Perhaps. What seems certain, though, is that late in the day that perception has changed. It has taken 15 tumultuous seasons, but finally English football can enjoy and appreciate Roy Keane for what he is - the best value in a shiny bazaar filled with knock-offs and fake tat. If there is one player in the Premiership who offers 100 per cent every time he steps on to a pitch, it is Keane. It is odd that Keane´s raging intensity still shocks and awes us. Ask Patrick Vieira. Ask Steven Gerrard. In recent weeks both have been taken by surprise and both have shrivelled in front of the furnace.

Last Tuesday night at Highbury was stuff for the career highlight reel. A long drumroll of hyped animosity between the hosts and their guests fed Keane´s passion before he stepped in and seized the moment. Speaking to Sky Sports afterwards, he was still as pumped up as he had been when ´speaking´ to Vieira beforehand. At 33, Keane remains one of the few players capable of taking a top-class fixture by the scruff of the neck and annexing all three points to his team. He remains the only player capable of dissolving solid matter with a single glare. There have been signs of his waning, but Keane has banished them before anybody plucked up the courage to ask him about them. His style has evolved in a way that suggests his intelligence has bought him a new lease on excellence. For Keane, this season will be divided into two segments interrupted by the bout of flu that kept him out of the first Arsenal game in October and, just as crucially, as it turned out, the limp defeat to Portsmouth in the next Premiership fixture.

Through late summer and through the gates of winter, Keane looked to be struggling. Since returning to the side he has whipped them and bullied them to the point where United´s heroic pursuit of an implacable Chelsea side has become the most compulsive viewing in the Premiership. Keane´s Lear-like rage, Ferguson´s Punch ´n´ Judy sensibility, Rooney´s petulance. What drives him? In a word, home. The sense of loyalty, the desire not to let them down. He grew up in the heart of a close family in Mayfield, one of the tougher precincts in Cork, a town renowned for its second-city chippiness and its obsessive pursuit of sporting excellence. The environment of Cork, and specifically Mayfield, not only made Keane but informs his sense of himself to this day. If he felt that money and celebrity had altered him to the point where he was estranged from home he would know it was time to pack it in. He has always stayed true to the character who left a decade-and-a-half ago. When he arrived at Manchester United, flush with easy money ( but less than he would have gained had he switched from Nottingham Forest to Blackburn), Keane bought and briefly drove a large red Mercedes with the personalised number plate Roy 1. Detecting that people were laughing at him, he soon replaced it with something more sober.

Famously, he almost got mired in Mayfield. Playing for an absurdly talented Rockmount team, Keane was smallest in stature and also the last one left when the scouts had finished their scavenging on behalf of English clubs. He sat down and wrote to all 92 clubs in the Football League. Now he´s the last man standing. He won´t go gently either. When he arrived at United Keane slipped, it seemed, into the slipstream of Paul Ince, who was at the time passing himself off as a colossus and encouraging people to call him Guv´nor. Ince moved on and there were those who feared that Manchester United would slip into decline. Ince got smaller. United got bigger. Last week Keane´s own successor, Eric Djemba-Djemba, got tired of waiting and moved to Aston Villa. Keane won´t yield, won´t flinch. He´s hard. The game itself doesn´t weary him but as the years go by he seems harassed by the imminence and the inevitability of decline. He rails against it. His contract at United has 18 months to run and the cumulative toll of his injuries means the day before any game is an endless series of physiotherapists coaxing his body into co-operation. It would be easier to hide and to coast downhill into retirement, but Keane takes an almost religious reassurance from doing things the hard way.

It would have been easier, too, to play along with the happy imperfections of the Ireland camp in Saipan at the 2002 World Cup. He travelled home alone, though, and dealt with the aftermath alone. Having retired from international duty in such circumstances it would have been easier to stay retired. When Brian Kerr, a manager who reflects Keane´s obsession for professionalism and perfection came along, though, Keane stepped back into the room and suffered the glares of Saipan veterans and quietly mended bridges. Training is as intense an experience for Keane as playing big games, and he will rant just as passionately at the imperfect set-up of an end-of-session seven-a-side as he will against a poor last-minute refereeing decision in a close game at Old Trafford. And like the greatest players, he finds ways of reinventing himself that will ultimately prolong his relevance within the game. Keane is no longer the box-to-box demon of a few years ago but his reading and distribution is even better. He controls games from deep now, and his passing over 15-20 yards does as much damage as his tackling. He has a quick and mordant wit, which he usually keeps sheathed. Commercially, he is more likely to do things that appeal to his brain or his humour than his wallet. In Dublin, the nurses in children´s hospitals are accustomed to surprise visits from him and he is equally generous to charities raising money for the blind. Having settled down and shed a bothersome drink habit, he has emerged as a curiously old-fashioned figure. He has no shiny-suited agent, just the friendship and services of a top London solicitor, Michael Kennedy, who acts discreetly and well on the player´s behalf. Keane´s fifth child arrived just before Christmas and all are educated locally in keeping with his desire that they grow up in as ordinary an environment as possible. He has pre-ironic ideas of manliness too, a feeling of obligation and duty to his job and to his team that only seems to fracture when he detects the feeling isn´t mutual. A constant theme through recent seasons has been his frustration in dealing with players who want success less than he does.

Keane is shy and enjoys reading. He takes a broadsheet in the morning and while other players, with United or Ireland, buzz around airport lounges on away trips he is invariably found sitting in a quiet corner getting through another chapter. Lest Keane come off as too cuddly, it´s no harm to remember that he retains some kingsize flaws. A dislike of being portrayed as cuddly by journalists is one. Another is his obsession with privacy, which makes discussion of charitable work off limits, and manifests itself in a sharp distaste for the ostentatious charity of the celebrity world. In terms of temper he still has the ability to go from nought to 60 pretty quickly. Alan Shearer casually pushed the right button three seasons ago and found Keane´s hands around his throat for the brief seconds it took the referee to end the deathly embrace with a red card. There is no let-up. Shyness and self-doubt and a mistrust of the glad-handing world around him are things that still torment him.

In Dublin this month the musical I, Keano opens. A parody on the most important event in the whole of Irish history, Keane´s departure from Saipan, the show promises to be a cross between I, Claudius and South Pacific . There is no confirmation as to who, if anybody, will be singing ´I´m Going to Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair´ , but we do know that the writers had originally thought to call the production McCarticus. Somehow, though, Keane just stood out as better box office. And, as the anti-hero turned hero, a better story too.
