Manchester United Message Board

According to the latest press reports Ozil has indicated that he is on his way to real madrid. One note of caution is that of course these reports were started by real madrid`s mouthpieces within the Spanish media.

"The newspapers gave it wide coverage back then"

Now we are getting desperate. There as nothing in any of the papers at the time about Ronaldo being close to a move to arsenal. Nor was there any reports of his being in North London. There were indications that other clubs were interested but that`s as far as it went.

It does matter that Wenger was stupid. I'm sure Ronaldo 'regrets' not signing with the small club.

r u stupid?!? the conversation was not about how well known to scouts he was!!! It was about how much Fergie added to his game and how he transferred him from a , as you put it, well known to scouts player, to a well known to EVERYONE player.....oh yeah..... and WORLD PLAYER OF THE YEAR!!!!

It fell through because Wenger was being as tight-arsed as ever and would pay up. Seems familiar? You'd think he'd learn.

He had a tour of Arsenal facilities and was given a shirt with his name on but no mention of a medical or anything else.

PMSL!

This 'teeny' is wiping the floor with you lot!!

AGAIN!

You Mankies really ARE.......WAAAAAY TOO EASY!

Much love.

[[ Do you have any proof of that ? ]] Yes.

[[ Why wasn't it written about in the newspapers ? ]]

The newspapers gave it wide coverage back then.

I second on that. Ozil's the bomb. SIGN HIM UP FERGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe we can try to get Mueller as well?

'He had a successful medical at Arsenal and was assigned a shirt number, but the Carlos Queiroz connection swayed it in Man Uniteds favour' Do you have any proof of that ? Why wasn't it written about in the newspapers ? I can't see Whinger staying quiet over a 'thing' like that .
