Transfer News

What the heck happen? Anderson OUT?? Carrick OUT?? Vidic OUT??

This can’t be real!!! I don’t think its true..but I can’t stop make it from keep bothering me.

The lists of rumours about Manutd player that might leave us by the end of this month…

1.Micheal Carrick

Carrick has problem with Sir Alex, so he has been left out against Birmingham. After missing the penalty against Burnley that cost us the game..there is another news that he has offered to Tottenham Hotspurs + 10million pounds in order to get Modric.

Popular quote from Sir Alex in ESPN after that Community Shield match;

There’s no injury to Michael Carrick. You’ll have to ask him why he’s out

However, a couple hours after that..ESPN retracted the news!! Then, he played against Burnley and has been given an important role as penalty taker!

2. Anderson

Ando bust-up with Sir Alex after the defeat against Chelsea. Later, he has been told he can quit Old Trafford.

The Brazilian star left Fergie fuming after reacting badly to his failure to make the starting line-up. The Scot was so angry he later confronted Anderson over his actions and was stunned by the 21-year-old’s refusal to back down.

Anderson insisted he was good enough to be in the team and was frustrated at being overlooked, with rookie Darron Gibson taking his place in the squad. And with the Brazilian international claiming he would prefer to quit rather than sit on the sidelines, Ferguson is willing to grant him his wish.

3. Nemanja Vidic

Vidic’s agent said that it is Vidic “dream” to play for Barcelona. Then, came the news that his wife was unhappy living in England. The problem is…he just keep silence about is it true or not.

At the end.. the paper claimed that Manutd will offer new deal for Vidic and then..this is what Vidic said..

“I showed at Wigan on the pitch by how I played how happy I am at this club,” said Vidic. “Anyone who is a fan of United or the players would only have to see how I played to know how committed I am to United. I spoke with my agent.

I know about all the rumours about me, but I don’t want it to have an impact on the club. It’s not a good time for my club to be hearing those rumours. I’m here and I’m committed.

I’ll show that with how I play in matches. But I will never speak about my future and I will never talk about moving to other clubs.”

“It’s not true that my wife is not happy,” he added. “I don’t know how that rumour came out.”

So…its not about dream move to Barcelona..but its all about new and improve deal!!

Manutd is BACK with Rooney 100th goal and Owen first goal!!

Wigan 0

Man United 5
Rooney (56, 65), Berbatov (58), Owen (85), Nani (92)

DW Stadium 22 August 2009 | 18,164

During the first half..the result end 0-0. A lot of chances but..no goal!! Nothing difference compared with previous 2 matches. I am really worry that the result against Burnley might be repeated. If its happen… it will be very very very hard for United to get back on track and fight for the title because losing 2 times in a row against lowly club is completely unacceptable!!

Thanks against to Rooney that break the duck with his powerful header from a perfect cross by ex-Wigan, Valencia.

After that goal…everything is changing!! All the chances that United got has turned into GOAL!! GOAL!! and GOAL!!.

2 minutes after that 1st goal, Berbatov scored his first goal for this season with a convincing ball control. Then, Rooney do it against to make it 0-3.

In the last 20 minutes, Micheal Owen come in and raced onto Nani’s through-ball and sent an unerring left-footed effort in off Kirkland’s far post. Beautiful goal and make me wonder why he missed a great chances against Birmingham and Burnley in previous match if he can scored like that!!

The final goal by Nani in injury time is the kind of goal that make me forget Cristiano Ronaldo once and for all. When Carrick missed a penalty in the match against Burnley… I missed Ronaldo. So, when Nani scored a good freekick….I have to say…” Ronaldo who???”

Bring on The Gooners!!!

Winning start for Manutd..Thanks to Rooney!!

Man United 1
Rooney (34)
Birmingham 0

75,062 Old Trafford

I have to admit… this is not really a convincing win for United but still plenty of promises.  Manutd should win at least 3 to 4 goals in this match…but what we got is only 1 from Wayne Rooney.

Fabio look nervous in the first 30 minutes and he got a difficult time to link  up with Valencia. Rooney..Evra have a good match and his nodded off the line really save United. Berbatov and Nani most of the time slowing down the match..and I really missed fast counter attack like last season.

Birmingham City goal keeper, Joe Hart also have a really good match but…seeing Manutd players wasted too many chances really bother me. I missed count how many times they shoot wide in a very clear chance!

In the last 20 minutes, Micheal Owen makes his Manutd debut in Premier League and he twice came close in injury time, first rolling the ball into the net from an offside position and then breaking free for a one-on-one that Hart won by diverting the shot for a corner with his outstretched left flag. Quite a good debut for Owen – I think.

Finally.. a win is a win no matter how is the score!
