En valeur pure ça fait 6M£, je trouve pas ça énorme pour un international anglais, on verra ce qu´il donne ^^

s´il s´impose à mu ce sera pas cher 6M

Il peut pas faire pire que Forlan, et peut être utile côté droit donc on verra, maintenant le plus important c´est un défenseur: Heinze viiiite ^^

Maintenant on fait signer Torres comme ca on a l´attaque 100% Blond décoloré la plus forte d´Europe :D

Précision, pour Pugh c´est pas officiel car il doit encore trouver un accord avec les dirigeants de Leeds, mais il fait partie du transfert à priori.

je vote oui pour torres et heinze.
en tout cas avec heinze, smith et keane il va y avoir des morts chez nos adversaires...

si pugh va pas à leeds on va payer plus cher je pense.

Non, ce sont des sommes définitives annoncées à la Bourse de Londres.

Voila ce que dit l´annonce au Stock Exchange:

Manchester United: Smith a signé Le 26/05/2004 - 18:54
Alan Smith a signé un contrat de 5 ans en faveur de Manchester United, mercredi. L´attaquant de Leeds évoluera donc aux côtés de Ruud Van Nistlerooy et Louis Saha au sein de l´attaque des Red Devils, contre une somme de 10 millions d´euros. Leeds récupère également en contrepartie de cet accord le défenseur Danny Pugh, âgé de 21 ans.

Ou comment tuer sa carrière

Qu´est-ce qu´il est allé foutre là bas ? Il va faire banquette cet idiot

C´est bon les gars ruud va rester a priori!
Ruud van Nistelrooy has vowed to end his career at Old Trafford.

The 27-year-old Dutch striker had previously made no secret of his desire to return to former club PSV Eindhoven once his contract was up at United.

But van Nistelrooy, who recently penned a new deal with United until 2008, insists he´s happy to see out the remainder of his playing days at Old Trafford.

“When I signed my new contract recently, I didn’t only sign for the money," he told The Sun. “I had a long talk with Alex Ferguson where he explained his future plans.

“His ambition is to win the Champions League again and I’m very proud that I can work on that with him. I agreed with his vision. It was very simple then to sign my new contract the next day.

“When I stop playing, I will quit the game for good and never come back into football. I will finish my career in Manchester."
Ruud van Nistelrooy

" I’m now sentenced for life with United - but that is not a punishment. The manager is building a new team and I trust him. I don’t need to go to Spain or another country.

“When I stop playing, I will quit the game for good and never come back into football," adds van Nistelrooy. " I never want to be a manager.

“I used to think that after my time at Manchester United I’d have a couple more years back home in Holland with PSV Eindhoven again. But I don’t think like that any more.

“I watch Dutch games on TV and the public are very negative. They used to shout things at me like “son of a whore” and I don’t want to hear that.

“I hate that mentality and that is the reason it will be all over in 2008. I will finish my career in Manchester.”

Alan Smith a signé mercredi un contrat de cinq ans avec Manchester United. L’attaquant de Leeds United a coûté 7M£ aux Red Devils.

Alan Smith ( 23 ans) a signé mercredi un contrat de cinq ans à Manchester United. Cet attaquant international anglais ( 7 sélections) évoluait à Leeds, club relégué en Division One anglaise. Smith a inscrit 9 buts en 35 matchs cette saison en championnat.

On voit que l´entente dans l´équipe des Pays bas et les relations avec le public sont toujours au beau fixe :/

Pourquoi ? ^^

Smith backed for ´other´ United

By Jonathan Stevenson

I think Old Trafford is probably the best place to go to finish his education

Paul Hart on Alan Smith

When Paul Hart went to see his first youth match as Leeds Academy coach in 1992, he could barely believe his luck.

An 11-year-old boy stood head and shoulders above the rest, his work-rate and commitment to the cause glaringly obvious even at such a tender age.

The young man´s name was Alan Smith.

Twelve years on, as Smith completes his big-money move from Leeds to Manchester United, Hart recalls the impact he immediately made.

" It´s amazing that he was the first kid they took me to see having got the job," Hart told BBC Sport.

" That day he was outstanding, and he always stood out every time I saw him.

" He had great ability and he had that edge from a young age too.

" Even as a boy he had great belief in himself, expected an awful lot from the people around him and was obviously a winner."

Hart watched Smith´s progress for five years at Elland Road, leaving just before the striker broke into the first team at the tender age of 17.

And the current Barnsley boss, who has developed several promising young players both at Leeds and Nottingham Forest, does not doubt Smith will be a success at Old Trafford.

ALAN SMITH FACTFILE
1980: Born Wakefield, Oct 20
1998: Makes debut for Leeds, scoring in 3-1 win at Liverpool
1999: First red card, in 2-1 victory at Tottenham
2001: Sent off in Champions League semi-final defeat at Valencia. Makes England debut in 4-0 win over Mexico
2002: Scores four as Leeds win 4-1 away at Hapoel Tel Aviv
2004: Plays last game for Leeds as they are relegated and signs for Manchester United. Also left out of England´s Euro 2004 squad

" He fits the bill for United. They like people with a touch of aggression and I´m sure that has attracted Sir Alex Ferguson to him," Hart added.

" He´s a very committed player, wholehearted in what he does, and I think he´s a manager´s dream.

" He´s very young and Alan would probably say he´s got loads to learn yet. He´s not the finished article, he´s got a lot to come.

" I think it´s probably the best place to go to finish his education. They´ll be challenging in Europe and for the league, there will be different pressures but I think it´ll suit him down to the ground.

" I have no doubt he will make it at Old Trafford, and I think they´ve done the right thing buying him instead of another striker.

" Top-quality strikers rarely come on the market and I would think that´s how Manchester United view him, plus he´s reasonably priced too."

Alan Smith broke into the Leeds side at the tender age of 17

Smith managed just nine goals for Leeds this season as they were relegated from the Premiership, playing many games on the right-hand side of midfield, but Hart says he has what it takes to be a top marksman.

" Alan´s a centre-forward, that´s for sure, it´s his best position. But going into European competition you need a squad and players who can play in different positions.

" It´s not helped being in a struggling Leeds team this season, he´s been rampaging around trying to keep things ticking over.

" He´s probably not been as selfish as he would have been in a side that´s playing well and clicking.

" I think he can score goals, and one thing he definitely is is brave enough to get into those areas where top goalscorers make their name and that´s in the six-yard box."
