West Ham surely can't force Carlos Tevez to stay for the remainder of his contract, especially when he's unhappy at West Ham, and he wants to play for us. Liverpool certainly didn't have this much bother with Javier Mascherano's transfer. Get that lad Tevez a United shirt and be done with it.

West Ham should stop playing silly buggers and let Tevez go.

Its not that they are refusing to sell him. Its who takes the transfer fee.

Great thread, are there any updates on the United squad numbers? (confirmed ones) because i was wondering whether anderson's squad number has been confirmed, before i go buy the new shirt next week

 

[gamerguy350]

I'm 99% sure Anderson's # has been confirmed, and I seriously doubt they'll change any once shirts go on sale =)

Cheers for that

 

[dubcrazy]

seen in a interview SAF said we didnt go for tevez last year because they were not sure about the agreement

now think we all know if we did go for him mascherano would have come to

who would ya rather mascherano or hargreaves???

 

[Stotty]

i haven't seen anywhere that Andersons number has been confirmed.

I wouldn't think that the tour has confirmed squad numbers - Eagles is wearing #19 which is still assigned to Rossi and Evans was wearing Gary's #2.

So far I would say that Rooney's move to 10 and Nani at 17 are the only confirmed changes as yet.

With Richardson gone, #23 is free for Owen Hargreaves, I believe that Tevez would take #8 if and when he comes - which leaves numbers 12,19,28 free.

So theoretically these are the 07-8 numbers;

1 - Edwin VAN DER SAR
2 - Gary NEVILLE
3 - Patrice EVRA
4 - Gabriel HEINZE
5 - Rio FERDINAND
6 - Wes BROWN
7 - Cristiano RONALDO dos santos aviero
8 - (Tevez?)
9 - Luis SAHA
10 - Wayne ROONEY
11 - Ryan GIGGS
12 - ANDERSON (possible)
13 - Ji Sung PARK
14 - Alan SMITH
15 - Nemanja VIDIC (if Heinze goes might get #4)
16 - Michael CARRICK
17 - Luis NANI
18 - Paul SCHOLES
19 - Guiseppe ROSSI
20 - Ole Gunnar SOLSKJAER
21 - DONG Fangzuho
22 - John O'SHEA
23 - Owen HARGREAVES (possible)
24 - Darren FLETCHER
25 - Danny SIMPSON
26 - Ben FOSTER
27 - Mickael SILVESTRE
28 - Phillip BARDSLEY
29 - Tomaz Kusczack (ah hell!)
30 -
31 -
32 -
33 - Christopher EAGLES

Apparently Gabby's taking United to court in order to move to the scum.

I still can't believe Gabby would / could do this after the way the fans supported him through his injury - this will be a bigger betrayal than Ince!

According to the united site, barsley is 26, pique is 28, with foster also yet to be assigned a number.

And Chris Eagles is number 19, not sure whether that'll be his permanent number, it's just the number he's using for the Asia tour, I wonder if he'll take back his number 33 shirt? Lee Martin also has the number 12 shirt.

Yeah but based on Evans wearing Gary's number, I'm not too convinced of the tour numbers being correct. We'll have to wait for the Chelski game at Wembley (because it's an FA competition)


Just read that Fergie wants Nani to quit the flips - spoilsport!

I hear that the premiership referees are going to book players for such celebrations - which is stupid, when you score a goal, it shows the passion you have when scoring a goal. It's understandable for the boss to say that, because we don't want Nani picking up injuries do we now?

 

[Filipower]

why the hell does he want him to stop doing that?

 

[phrase]

Nani just scored again in our final game of the Asian tour.Not sure if he did the flips...Sir Alex wasnt too serious in asking him to stop the flips..Just didnt want Nani to aggravate the ankle injury he had.

 

[Fernandez]

You can get injured by doing backflips. Happened to Lua Lua once I think. Anyway, we beat Guangzhong Pharmaceuticals 3-0. Rooney pen, Nani and Martin.

Superb goals from Nani and Martin

Hopefully Martin'll get some playing time this season, he was awesome for the reserves.

What amazing goals from Martin and Nani
