The Argentine star hasn't been able to find any good contact with media and fans and would like to return to Italy as soon as possible. The possible destination, Lazio. --------------------------------- [10] Veron's mate on his way? --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 11, 2001 by tb: >From Daily Soccer: Manchester United FC board are interested in Real Madrid Argentinean midfielder Santiago Solari, Marca states. English side's Juan Sebastian Veron is a close friend of Solari and is chosen to conduct the negotiations with him. Both players played together at Universidad de la Plata. Manchester United head coach Sir Alex Ferguson doesn't hide his interest in Solari and he will ask Veron for making Solari aware of Manchester's intention. Incidentally, the price of the Real midfielder is 5 billion pesetas (about 25 million dollars) and his contract with Royal clubs expires in 2004. Solari doesn't have his own agent so far and is compelled himself to conduct all negotiations. Italian club S.S. Lazio are interested in the Argentinean midfielder as well, but the negotiations between both clubs had no result. Nevertheless, Lazio have not lost their hope to sign Solari. --------------------------------- [9] Becks on the spot --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 11, 2001 by tb: "The manager always says before the game who takes penalties, and every time we've played he's said it's me. "It's an extra responsibility and an extra added pressure but I just enjoy scoring goals." --------------------------------- [8] Becks: Not arsed --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 11, 2001 by tb: "I suppose it was harder to get ourselves up for this game because of the last one". "It was a carnival atmosphere out there, I was surprised by how good the fans were, there was no tension and people were just enjoying themselves. "The manager said to us beforehand that he wanted to win the game so much, and we tried to." --------------------------------- [7] On the other hand --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 11, 2001 by tb: McCarthy keeps his fingers crossed over his Capt: "I hope there's no reaction to it, the 24 hours after a match can tell you a different story. --------------------------------- [6] Keano ok --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 11, 2001 by tb: As McCarthy says: "I've spoken to him and Roy's fine. He played the whole match and was great, no problems. "Yes, he'll be going with us." --------------------------------- [5] Taylor: We shall not be moved --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 11, 2001 by tb: 'The message the players have sent out is that you mess with the PFA at your peril. We realise this TV deal probably represents the peak of TV money for football. If we don't protect our interests now we risk being discriminated against in the future.' --------------------------------- [4] Stabbed in the back by one of his own --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 11, 2001 by tb: As Cragnotti says: 'The players lose their way when they know the coach is leaving. They are like sailors on a ship who know the captain is about to jump.' 'There was much to learn from our experience. United don't seem to have thought it through properly and they have done themselves damage as a result. 'Ferguson is an institution there and it is difficult to send away a man who has been there so many years. But if they really want to do the right thing for themselves as a club, they should change their manager quickly.' --------------------------------- [3] But then feels the need to carry on --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 11, 2001 by tb: 'I enjoy my football more than at United, although I never expected this. Under Ferguson I had to win my tackles and headers and quickly give the ball to one of the other players. I had to focus on my defensive job only, nothing else. At Lazio I am one of three central defenders and I play on the right. I can go forward whenever I have the chance.' --------------------------------- [2] Jaap sticks his oar in --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 11, 2001 by tb: 'I am flattered when I hear that they are missing me and that everyone is convinced that my transfer was the worst deal of the summer. People and friends in England tell me this more and more. 'While I was at United, we won almost everything we could. Since I left, I have noticed things have gone wrong, especially in the League. You can probably imagine what I feel like right now, but I won't say any more about that. It is probably better I leave it at that.' --------------------------------- [1] More Mickey misquotation? --------------------------------- Posted Sunday, November 11, 2001 by tb: As everyone reckns this qoute "It's one of the biggest clubs in Europe". "It's difficult to find a better club, a better football life." As meaning that he wants to leave before Xmas?? Err what about it means he wants to stay?
