Hey, salut Lock ^^

Youri Djorkaeff believes the signing of Louis Saha can give United the edge over Arsenal in the title race.

The Bolton star says Saha´s arrival at Old Trafford will not only provide some much needed support for Ruud van Nistelrooy, it could spell trouble for Arsenal who, Djorkaeff says, rely too heavily on Thierry Henry.

“All Arsenal fans must pray every morning that Thierry has woken up fit and well," he told The Sun.

" I do not know how many games he plays but it seems to be an awful lot in all competitions. There is a huge reliance on him for Arsenal, just as there has been at Manchester United with Ruud van Nistelrooy.

“They have obviously got Saha to help him and take some of the goalscoring burden off his shoulders. Now Arsenal need to do the same. They need to go out and get another striker themselves now — otherwise they could be left behind," he added.

" I can see Louis forming a great partnership with van Nistelrooy and also taking on the frontman role on his own."
Djorkaeff on Saha

Djorkaeff has been hugely impressed by Saha´s recent performances for Fulham and the former French international believes his compatriot will be an even greater success at Old Trafford.

“Not a lot was said about Louis in France until he came over here to England," revealed the World Cup winner.

“He was such a good signing at Fulham scoring some great goals. Now he’s going up a level at Manchester United. I can see him forming a great partnership with van Nistelrooy but also taking on the frontman role on his own.

“He is going to be so much more in the public eye now and that is going to give him a better chance of getting his first international cap.

“Obviously he’s behind the likes of Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet. But at United he will be getting so many more chances to score he can really start to push himself forward on the international front," added Djorkaeff.

apres henry qui a declare que maintenant Mu allait etre encore plus fort et que ca allait etre dur pour arsenal depuis l´arrivée de saha , youry s´y met aussi . d´ailleurs un adjoint de santini sera a mu pour son premier match . .

juste pour dire , apparment robert a planté un but de dingue ( encore) avec newcastle vais chercher sa ^^

Pauvre Robert! triquard à vie avec l´EdF.

c´est clair mais ce n´est pas le seul

Football: Saha passe la visite médicale de Manchester United

L´intégration de l´ancien messin âgé de 25 ans, transféré pour un montant évalué à 12 millions de livres ( 21,77 millions de dollars), ne devrait toutefois pas être finalisée avant le retour de l´entraîneur Alex Ferguson, actuellement en vacances à Doubaï.

Manchester United affrontera dimanche Northampton Town, équipe de troisième division, mais Saha ne pourra figurer sur la feuille de match.

Fulham, qui a hésité à se séparer de Saha, auteur de 13 buts cette saison en premier league, n´a pas tardé à le remplacer en signant mardi un contrat de deux ans et demi avec l´international américain Brian McBride qui évoluait jusqu´ici à Columbus Crew.

=>Nouveau coup dur pour Solskjaer...

" Solskjaer in new injury blow"

Solskjaer has been out since September
Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seems likely to miss the rest of the season after discovering he needs another knee operation.
The Norwegian had hoped to make his return for United´s reserves on Thursday after missing his initial intended comeback date last week.

But the 30-year-old now faces more time on the sidelines.

" It´s a very serious injury and we must be patient," said Solskjaer´s agent Jim Solbakken.

Solskjaer has not played for United since September, missing 25 matches in the process.

" It is so frustrating for him at the moment"
Solskjaer´s agent Jim Solbakken

The striker had an operation on his cartilage on 23 September, but now needs another exploratory operation and Solbakken warned it may be several more months before the problem is resolved.

" It can take three months to heal, or even a year," he said.

" Ole´s injury is similar to the one that ended ( former Manchester City and Norway midfielder) Alf-Inge Haaland´s career.

" That doesn´t mean it will happen with Ole, but no-one will really know anything until the doctors have another look inside his knee."

Solskjaer´s continued absence has been partially offset by the capture of Louis Saha from Fulham.

But United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hoped to use the Norwegian more in the right-sided midfield role where he excelled last season.

=>Info démentie par MU ^^

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says " everything is ok" in his recovery from a knee operation after false reports suggested the Reds striker could face a further three months on the sidelines.

Ole has been out for four months after undergoing knee surgery back on 23 September. However, following a set-back in training earlier this month, Solskjaer was told by Sir Alex Ferguson to take a week´s break.

Solskjaer told ManUtd.com: " I trained with the first team last week and had planned to play against Birmingham for the reserves. But, Sir Alex advised me to recharge my batteries and take a week´s holiday.

" It´s important for me to follow the advice of the medical staff and I must be patient and not too eager.

" With the team doing so well at the moment, there is no need for me to rush my recovery plan. However, everything is ok."

Ole´s personal manager Jim Solbakken had been wrongly quoted in Norwegian newspaper VG as saying the injury could take a further three months to heal.

Sir Alex had confirmed to us last week: ”We think he did a little bit too much one day a week ago. We’re just giving him a rest this week and then he’ll be back training next week."

Although a deal to sign Fulham striker Louis Saha has been agreed in principle, Ole would make a welcome return - either to further bolster United´s attack or, as he did last season, provide much needed ammunition to Ruud from a wide right position.

Don´t go to court Fergie
Manchester United want Alex Ferguson to drop his legal action against the club’s major shareholders. Fergie will return from a break with his team in Dubai on Friday and go straight into high-level talks with the club board. The directors will encourage him to end his battle with Irish racehorse owners John Magnier and J P McManus over Rock of Gibraltar stud rights. This week Magnier and McManus increased their stake in the club to 25.49 per cent. If the investment reaches 30 per cent they are duty bound to launch a takeover of the club. The board are not prepared to try to force Ferguson into making this decision but are keen for him to negotiate an out-of-court settlement.

Time to play it smart
As a man raised in the ask-no-favours world of Govan shipyards, Alex Ferguson’s natural instinct has never been to take a step back. His birthplace — in fact, his very birthright — has given him the aggression and cutting edge to be the most successful domestic manager ever. But there comes a time in even the most determined street-fighter’s life when discretion has to be the greater part of valour. For the long-term benefit of Manchester United and their vast army of increasingly concerned supporters, that time has arrived. He must stage some strategic withdrawal from his potentially crippling court case with major United shareholder John Magnier over the multi-million pound ownership and stud fees associated with racehorse Rock of Gibraltar.

Ole hit by new KO blow
Ole Solskjaer needs another operation on his knee and could be out for a further three months. Solskjaer’s agent Jim Solbakken confirmed Manchester United’s Norwegian international broke down in training and must undergo an exploratory op. Solbakken revealed Solskjaer’s original injury is similar to that which finished the career of former Manchester City midfielder Alfie Haaland. He does not believe Solskjaer will suffer the same fate but is worried about the operation. Solbakken said: “The injury is one that can take between three months and a year to heal. It is very serious and everyone needs to be patient."

It´s Man Utd on the lash
Manchester United stars have been boozing into the early hours between training sessions on their break in Dubai. While midfielder Paul Scholes and Cristiano Ronaldo had some fun in their rubber rings at a water park yesterday, defender Wes Brown was thrown out of a bar for drunken behaviour. The team, on a luxury four-day break in the Gulf resort without wives and girlfriends, seemed determined to live it up.

Dutch kid targeted
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to increase his bid to land £5million-rated Dutch forward Robin van Persie from Feyenoord. The Gunners have been tracking 20-year old van Persie for more than a year but are now trying to push the deal through before the January transfer window closes.

I´m coming to get you
World Cup Final referee Pierluigi Collina will be invited to move to the Premiership after retiring next year. Bald-headed Collina, 44 next month, is regarded as the world´s best referee but will not be allowed to carry on in Serie A beyond next season because the Italians have an age limit of 45 for their officials. But referees are allowed to carry on until they are 48 in the Premiership and Collina would be welcomed to come to England and take charge of top-flight matches.

Fabien Barthez says he would like to make his loan move to Olympique Marseille a permanent switch.

Barthez is currently on loan with the French First Division club having dropped down the pecking order at Old Trafford. But the France international says he would like to end his career with OM.

" I really would like to finish my career in Marseille," he said. " I like the region and the club."

Barthez was at Marseille when the French side won the European Cup in 1993 and, having moved on to United via Monaco, he is delighted to have returned to Stade Velodrome.

" When I first heard that I could come here I was extremely excited and motivated," said Fabien. " I first came in Marseille at the age of 20 and I learnt everything here.

" I experienced so many things here that it helped me go through various situations afterwards."

barthez voit la suite de sa carriere loin de Mu . ca tombe bien MU aussi .

c´est clair tout ca pour un cheval . pourvu qu´on n perde pas fergie pour ses conneries la .

Henry proche du Real ?
Selon le quotidien espagnol As, Thierry Henry pourrait rejoindre le Real Madrid.

Henry prochain galactique ? Le journal espagnol As semble y croire dur comme fer. Le quotidien assure que David Dein, le vice président d’Arsenal, s’est rendu à Séville en fin de semaine dernière avec la ferme intention de rencontrer les dirigeants madrilènes. De là à affirmer que les deux clubs négocient le transfert de Thierry Henry chez les Merengue, il n’y a qu’un pas que la presse ibérique franchit aujourd’hui. As affirme que Thierry Henry a bénéficié de sept jours de repos de la part d’Arsène Wenger. Sept jours pour négocier un futur départ ?

comme ca ils vont nous laisser ruud tranquille . ..

par contre on n´a pas fichu de nous faire chier avec le real

L´Affaire Louis Saha était complexe : tantôt annoncé à Manchester, tantôt annoncé restant, sa signature a finalement été confirmée en début de semaine. La chaîne britannique Sky Sports a révélé que le buteur français venait de passer sa visite médicale, et que son transfert pourrait devenir effectif avant la fin de la semaine. Le transfert serait alors définitivement bouclé : une bonne occasion pour Saha de franchir un pallier et de s´imposer en Equipe de France pour l´Euro 2004, Djibril Cissé devant déclarer forfait.
