" Man Utd face Ferdinand D-day"

Manchester United have until 1700 GMT to decide how to respond to the Football Association charge over Rio Ferdinand´s missed drugs test.

=>C´est quoi ces conneries* ? ^^

=>Après la mode ( et ses nouveaux marchés…) des joueurs japonais, voici venir celle des footballeurs chinois. Manchester United devrait en recruter un lors du mercato.

" Nous allons signer un joueur chinois, normalement dans les semaines qui viennent." C´est ce qu´a affirmé Alex Ferguson, le manager mancunien, à la presse anglaise. Selon la BBC, il s´agirait de la star nationale Dong Fang Zhou, sur lequel le Real et l´Inter lorgneraient également. Manchester n´a pas voulu dévoiler son identité. Challenge sportif ou prétexte pour conquérir un marché qui s´ouvre à peine sur le monde ?

Reds set to ignore transfer scramble
Manchester United are not planning a multi-million transfer blitz when the January window opens in the New Year. " I don´t think we will be going into the transfer market in a big way in January," United chief executive David Gill told MEN sport. " We have had some discussions about it and it is all still being reviewed by Sir Alex Ferguson, his staff and myself. The manager doesn´t normally do major transfer work in mid season even before we had the transfer window."
Stuart Mathieson, Manchester Evening News

si le transfert du chinois c´est pas un transfert commercial je n´y comprends rien . Je ne pense pas que ca bougera au mercato . Quand a van deer avrt ca se precise de plus en plus . Des emissaires de manchester sont au pays bas aujourd´hui

Si je comprends bien, pas de transferts avant juin, mais peut-être bien Van der Vaart à MU en juin

c´est la rumeur la plus serieuse . si manchester se met d´accord avec le club c´est quasiment fait . ce serait genial

tout le monde murmure aussi que robben ferait partie du voyage . .....

Tant qu´il y a un bon 2e attaquant ou meneur de jeu l´an prochain ça me va, et Van der Vaart serait parfait ^^ Après, si on peut avoir Robben, Nihat ou Defoe, pourquoi pas ^^

marco 1 pt !

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that United are set to make a new signing.
Sir Alex, in New York to promote United´s 2004 US tour, told the American media: " We´re signing a Chinese boy, hopefully in the next few weeks."

According to newspaper reports the player in question is 18-year-old Dong Fangzhou of Chinese side Dalian Shide, who will be available for around £1million.

The teenager spent a fortnight on trial at United in September, and Dalian manager Lin Lefeng claims: " What United have offered is not meant to be disclosed, but I can assure you that it is more than a million we are talking about here."

euh on va le payer combien le chinois ?

c´est du delire la . ..

Parait qu´on signera personne au mercato, faudrait prendre une decision ^^

Sinon Rivaldo ou Cissé pourraient aller à Liverpool au mercato...

je ne vois pas topp ce qu´on va faire d´un chinois . .

cisse c´est si owen part . Mais je ne suis pas sur que guy laisse partir cisse en pleine saison .

il a dit que si . ..................dans the sun ^^

" Man Utd hit Chinese star hitch"

Manchester United have been told that Chinese striker Dong Fang Zhou is not for sale but his club would consider a loan deal.
The Old Trafford club have been linked with a move for the striker - who is also said to be a target for Real Madrid and Inter Milan - during the January transfer window.

Dong´s manager at Dalian Shide, Lin Lefeng, told the Dalian-based Bandao Morning Post: " Manchester United offered a transfer fee above £1m.

" But Shide´s stance is firm - we hope that Dong Fangzhuo could join Manchester United by means of a long-term loan."

On Thursday, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admitted the club are in the market for a player from China, although he did not confirm the player´s identity.

" We´re signing a Chinese boy, hopefully in the next few weeks," said Ferguson.

=>Si c´est un prêt pourquoi pas...^^

Giggs in Man Utd pledge

" If I have another three or four years left in me, I would like to retire at the top with Manchester United"

Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs wants to end his career at Old Trafford and has warned the Premiership his best is yet to come.

The Welshman was the subject of widespread transfer speculation in the summer, with Inter Milan reportedly keen to secure his signature.

But Giggs - who turns 30 at the end of November - has no intention of quitting the club and is looking forward to greater success.

" At my stage of life, I think that the next couple of years will be the best of my career," said Giggs.

" If I have another three or four years left in me, I would like to retire at the top with Manchester United.

" I´m looking forward to adding to the medals I have already won with the club.

" And as far as I´m concerned, I still have a lot to achieve in football - and that includes representing Wales in a major championship."

But Giggs also admitted he would not prolong his career if he felt he could not continue to perform at a high level.

" After another four years, I would have thought it would be difficult for me to reproduce the form that I am capable of. It is only then I would start thinking about my future off the field.

" I certainly do not want to get to 40 and start thinking I quit too early. By the same token, you do not want to be struggling round the pitch at 37," he told United´s official website.
