Sir Alex dismisses Neville retirement rumors

By

nevilleRumors that Gary Neville is planning to retire at the end of the season were immediately quashed by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Neville will be celebrating his 35th birthday soon. Though he’s getting long in the tooth, he’s still not considered within retirement age. But time has not been kind to him. He has been suffering from numerous injuries over the last three seasons. Add to that his sub par performance during the absolutely devastating defeat against Leeds United, which has led to the third round exit of the Red Devils in the FA Cup and you’ll realize why the retirement rumors are so strong.

Everything will be determined this summer though. Both Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes have already extended their stay at Old Trafford for an additional year. We’ll find out what Neville’s decision is in a few months.

Personally, I think Neville still has a lot of years to offer Manchester United. Everything really depends on his injury situation. Hopefully, his injury problems will end this season and this will prompt him to renew his contract.

Beckham ready to return to the Prem?

David Beckham

In a less surprising Sunday afternoon rumour the NOTW tries to create some buzz around glamour boy David Beckham by announcing that he would return to the Premier League if AC Milan would not sign him again. Becks has more than once expressed his intention to participate to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, probably as often as Capello has said that he would have to play regularly in the period before the World Cup and play on a high level. As known the MLS has a break in the months before the tournament.

Last season Becks was loaned out to AC Milan for 5 months and he hopes to return to the Italian squad next January. But the rumour mill obviously has started and he is said to be in touch with Spurs and the Council House in case a deal with Milan would fail. In the 2007-2008 season Becks trained 2 months with Arsenal to stay fit and maintain his chances on being selected for the England squad. That was a rather big slap in the face of many a ManUtd fan but how would we feel if now he would opt for the big bucks and sign for several months at Manchester City?

Rumour kitchen: Berbatov plus £18m for Sergio Aguero?

Another day, another international rising superstar rumour. This time the rumour kitchen brings us the news of a tabbed offer for the services of Sergio Aguero. SAF is said to have offered £18m PLUS Berbatov to secure the Spanish 21 year old international, who is understood to have a £50m buy-out clause. So far none of these Spanish rumours have been confirmed and to me it seems very doubtful that SAF would sacrifice the mainly by himself highly hyped Bulgarian international.

So far Atletico Madrid have always maintained that Aguero not for sale is ((Unless the buy-out clause is met and triggered)) so it seems unlikely that a cash plus player deal could be sufficient, especially considered the difference in age between Aguero and Berbatov.

On that note though, I do think that Berba would be a lot more efficient in the Primera Division than he has been for us so far. The more open game in Spain definitely suits his game better than pushing the opponent against the wall and hope to find that small hole and score like we love to do at ManUtd.

Do we want Aguero? Heck yes! He would give every defense a run for their money and soon EPL fans would have forgotten about freckle boy Torres! I would love to see Sergio Aguero be part of our squad but I don’t see it happen.

Is The Ronaldo Deal hinting Arshavin arrival ?

By

This Euro for Russians was a fine time.Getting qualified after so long time and also ending so close to the cup.Besides few unknown players,namely that tall striker there was one guy who stole my heart.For me it was more of Arshavin than Russians.Though he wasn’t the only one responsible for there triumph but certainly had a big hand.Russia eventually managed them a spot in semi’s,though loosing against Spain.It was end of Russians campaign and a beginning for this kid.
Ever since the Ronaldo page has been spotted i always keep up getting an image of the next Jersey 7 player and United’s new hero.Already we are saturated with Heroes so lets say a mid-fielder.For now , i hardly am getting any good ones or sorted on in my head.I was eying Ramos for few times but then i had a reminisce of Gary Neville game and felt its better with him than improving Real relations..Besides that its not that good players are not present any where but the players surrounded with less lime-light are few to count and one of them is Arshavin.
