Every team could take a loan from a bank and buy great players and then go bankrupt cancel their debts and tehn take a great squad to promotion or Europe. But then thats just punishing clubs who manage their club properly and dont do what Leeds do and spend way beyond their means. Why would clubs manage themselves properly if the easiest way to get ahead is to spend like crazy? the reason for the penalty is to avoid what happened at Leicster. The board didnt run things properly and they nearly went out of business. But they cleared their debts and went straight up because they had a team they shouldnt have been able to afford. Now if clubs are mismanaged they arent going to benefit from it and they have an incentive not to mess up. Though I hate leeds and hope they go bankrupt in the summer because it would be hilarious to see them go straight down to division 2 ![]() |

Ronaldinho preferred Barcelona, United matched the bid.
Djemba-Djemba is 22, for ****s sake, give the fellow a chance. He got 22 yellow cards in France last season, you have to respect that. |

i'm pretty sure we didn't match the bid. he seemed pretty set on united, he even said he wanted to be the first brazilian in a red shirt after he joined barca.
djemba is... meh, i think we have better ways to spend our money really, than going for potential all the time, cause it rarely ever works out for us. |

Ronaldinho also said he was "dreaming of white" when asked if Real Madrid wanted him. He's a bit of a tart, really. If he was that desperate to go to United, he'd have rejected Barcelona and told PSG he wanted to go to Manchester, thus making any auction pointless.
Djemba-Djemba looks a good player. He is an excellent passer, he just needs a run in the side like anyone else. |

what i've seen of him, he looks pretty shaky at the moment. at 22, he has time on his side i guess. i think kleberson has got a worse rep though, i've been impressed with what i've seen of him so far.

Man Utd looked to be in pole position to sign the PSG forward, but Graille says the Spanish giants' offer is the superior one. Asked whether the offer from Old Trafford was insufficient compared to the sum which Barca are prepared to pay, Graille said: "Yes, completely. However nothing has been done yet." |

His brief statement of "tengo la mente en blanco," can be translated either as "I have an open mind" or also "I am thinking about white".

In the last link, it says it was AFTER Real Madrid had withdrawn their bid, and Barca and Chelsea had no confirmed interest in him. The link in your other post doesn't quote Ronaldinho saying that he would prefer to go to United when Barca were also bidding, it just says you wouldn't cough up the goolash. NEVER in it does it claim Ronaldinho would have preffered to go to you. |

Real Madrid were linked with the player but have decided not to make a bid, while Barcelona and Chelsea are the other clubs believed to be chasing him. |

Bottom line is, Ronaldinho is a tart, and he touted himself about to alot of clubs. If he really wanted to go to United, he would have. Players have the upper hand. Look at Beckham: he turned down the Barca offer, so United had no option but to take Real Madrid's, the club he actually wanted to go to.
Kleberson has always been pretty highly rated. He played in the World Cup winning squad, so he's got a bigger rep than Djemba-Djemba. I think he is an excellent player, but his form has been poor for club and country, so he needs to sort himself out overall. Djemba-Djemba has impressed, though. The thing is, he only ever starts when Fergie is putting out a terrible side, so he ends up playing alongside Forlan, Bellion and Phil Neville, and the like, then they lose and he looks stupid. |

I have to say, this season has somewhat tapered off towards the end.
- Arsenal won the title in April - With 2 weeks to go, Leeds, Wolves and Leicester - Chelsea are going to take second The only thing that's still alive really is the battle for 4th place. For example, just watching Boro yesterday, you could tell they really didn't have anything to play for against Liverpool. Full credit to Pool tho ![]() |

Personally i think they have every right too,considering how well he's done at Barcelona and how poor United have been this season(compared to others).
I'm sure they wouldn't go on about him should their season been better,at least in the league and Europe. |

i know, but the run in would've been far more interesting.
Besides, who would you rather watch playing for you, ronaldinho or darren fletcher? ![]() |

Nah, seriously, Ronaldinho or no, United's season fell apart pretty much right when Ferdinand got suspended.
Fletcher wouldn't have had more than 10 games this season if Solskjaer hadn't been crocked...I dunno, you could argue they'd have been just as effective if Solskjaer had stayed fit, since he was really fitting into the wide right role. Anyway, cry about it |

solskjaer hasn't been that great on the right. He has no real qualities that make him stick out as a winger.
I don't think we'd have won this season, ronaldinho or not, but we'd have had a lot less 1-0 defeats. |

I think Ronaldinho is better as a support striker anyway,so even they got him they should have still been playing Fletcher or signing Cristiano Ronaldo,or at least they should imo.
