£7m from Sporting Lisbon. I'm sure everyone knows who he is and how much potential he has.

Absoloutley chuffed to bits with this signing.

Good signing if you get him but make sure not much pressure goes on him straight away because he is still young!!!! Quality player though!!!!

Still, a word of advice --- Kleberson is not better than Veron and the jury will be out on him ---- he has 2 ways to go, end up as average as Silva or end up a very good player!!!! I think he can be good but you just dont know as most of us dont see him play all that often, and especially not in leagues as pacey as England!!! As for Ronaldo, he probably has much more skill than beckham but I dont know if he will deliver all in 1 season!!! These are very carefully thought and planned buys which will be good for the future!!! I dont know if this year MU will win anything - of course The Prem is their big possiblity!!!! I still think Chelsea has a better team but VN makes all the difference!!!!

Excellent young player, not ready for the Prem just yet IMO. Will probably replace Ole on the right wing for the 2004/2005 season.
Never thought that i would read that rule, united signing an excellent player!!! Gives me shivers down my spine to hear that from you!!!:D ;)
Still, a word of advice --- Kleberson is not better than Veron and the jury will be out on him ---
I dont understand this, Veron was a flop for united and never performed for us. While he was at the club he was a great topic for all ABU's, but now that hes gone, its all of a sudden a disaster?? Kleberson is a fraction of the price and can only do as bad as veron, cause seba was very poor for united.
If he'd of stayed united would still of been crap, but now that hes gone united are crap. Its sort of a lose lose scenario, no matter what united does, it will always get hypocritical and ironical statements made about its players!!!
the biggest dissapointment in veron leaving for united fans wasnt cause of his skill, but the fact that united were losing 2 biog names this summer and not replacing them with big names, thats all. verion was nothing more then a big name to the club and team. He wont be missed as a squad memeber either

I think some have been very harsh on Veron, of course he hasnt been what he could have but hes been better than say --- Diouf lol - and IMO hes been way better than Silva and my friends being Arsenal fans are upset with him!!! Kleberson as I said could end up the same way as Silva - and be pretty average!!!

I think Kleberson is not as talented as Veron but we'll see if he has a bit more go in him than Veron!!!

If Chelsea got the big target man striker (Vieri) they would then be better than MU if the team managed to be on equal terms IMO!!!

BTW, all this large squad crap isnt true, I mean Milan won the CL with 30 big named players!!!

1. Veron did well in CL games and some EPL games when Keano wasn't in the team.

2. Dioufy did better last season than Veron did in either of his seasons and he only cost a third of what Veron did.

3. Kleberson is a replacement for Nicky Butt not Veron or Beckham

4. Drummer, he's a good player, but Queresma is better and you lost him to Barca. And Le Tallac is better than both.

Sorry don't like entering this place but I cried when I read this.

Le tallac LMFAO

Its Le Tallec even. The actual statement killed my throat.

Liverpool fan, Diouf is horrible, simple as (thats my opinion, no need to argue on this matter)!!!! As for Le Tallec better than both - I will just leave a 'tbc' there because I and most of us have not seen enough of all 3 to judge, especially not in big leagues!!!!

Anyone who has seen Le Tallac play will know how good he is.

Dioufy was excellent during Feb, March and April last season, he had a rough time settling in and once he did he gave left-backs galore the run around, made a fool out of the French Chuckle cousin in the Worthy Cup final.

Stick to Seria Bore, it's more your style.

Serie A has many better players than Diouf in it thats for sure!!!! I watched him in the Amsterdam tournament and he couldnt even stand up when the ball got to him :howler:

For every French player that ends up like Henry, another 1 ends up like Cheyrou - ok Cheyrou still young so his fortunes can change but this is what I mean you just dont know how all 3 will do in the big leagues!!!!

And Cheyrou had a big reputation with him!!!!

As for Serie A boring, it works both ways, for every Englishman saying Serie A is boring, an Italian is saying the Prem is boring, so dont get it stuck in your head that the Prem is so great!!!

1. Cheyrou had a what?? most people outside France didn't even know who he was. Le Tallac and FSP are going to be superstars, i gaurentee it. I've only ever seen 1 player better at 18 than those two and that was Ronaldo(the real one)

2. Anyone who says the EPL is boring is either blind, stupid or just doesn't watch it.

3. Seria may have "many players better than Diouf", but the prem has many players better than Cassano, who you spent £20million on.

4. The EPL is better than the anti-football haven of Seria Bore

You just dont get it do you, Italy and Spain has more class than the Prem ever will!!!! Believe it or not alot of people like watching class and quality than Premiersh*t which has headless chickens running wherever be!!!!

If the Prem is so great explain only 1 team since 92 reaching the CL final and why as I said, people in Italy do think its boring!!!

As for many players better than Cassano, We will see this season, we will see!!!!! You just cant compare Diouf with cassano - its insane - its a disgrace to the world of football to do so!!!!
 
#20 ·
Before this gets too stupid ill take myself out of this arguement!! Ive had it too many times with my own friends to even bother doing it again on the internet!!!

Great buy for Manchster United, you gotta give them that.

In my opinion the guy is better than Ronaldhino, i've seen both on numerous times and every time Ronaldo has put on a good performance. It's a shame Chelsea didn't get him, but it's looks like we hiked the price up ;).


BTW the fee was a steep... £12.8 Million ;).

3 years Max... and England will dominate Europe with Real Madrid. Italian league will lose most of it's revenue. Just remember what happened to England in the late 80's... makes you think where the epl would be today.

Doc rule please explain which players that have been brought for more than 20 million pounds are better than cassano who are playing in the EPL,You may say Mutu now I don't know who's better between them two.next of all I would'nt say that the EPL is boring.

Just to add to the Seria vs Premiership is that
Seria A = Great Defending vs Great Attackers
Premiership = Great Attackers vs Crap Defending

The Premiership is way more exciting to me because of the quickness and toughness of the game.

Alot of Seria A matches are boring as the attackers dont score as many goals and the matches are slow.
