------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- [15] Keane after his testimonial --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, July 15, 2006 by ed: "Im very fortunate to have played for Sir Alex, and the manager will be the first to tell you that the staff that were there had a big role to play too: Brian Kidd, Steve McClaren, Jimmy Ryan, Mickey Phelan, Carlos Queiroz, Walter Smith. I always felt part of it, always felt that they were there to provide the best for the team, and it was a privilege. When I was first at the club, I would see Robbo and Brucey having a cup of tea with the manager before training. I never had that relationship, I didnt see that we needed it. If something had to be said, I would say it. People might have said that he gave me a free rein, but it was something that came naturally to me anyway. I would have done the same things, because its about doing whats right for the team. The manager always did what was right for the club, and I always tried to do what was right for the club."

Van Nistelrooy, who arrived at United in a £19 million move from PSV Eindhoven in 2001, has seen his hugely successful spell at Old Trafford turn sour in recent months. He was omitted from the Carling Cup final starting line-up and then manager Sir Alex Ferguson decided to send him home hours before the club's final game of last season against Charlton following an alleged training-ground confrontation with Cristiano Ronaldo. Ferguson, who is in South Africa preparing for today's pre-season friendly against Orlando Pirates in Durban, admitted that Van Nistelrooy has now made it clear that he wants to end his five-season stint at Old Trafford. Ferguson said: "There may be some interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. I am waiting for chief executive David Gill to fill me in, but Ruud has asked away." Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are ready to move for Van Nistelrooy, who still has two years left on his United contract. Real are ready to test United's resolve with a £10 million offer for the player, who has yet to return to Old Trafford since his exit two months ago. Van Nistelrooy's agent, Roger Linse, was understood to be in Manchester yesterday to discuss the out-of-favour forward's future with Gill and although United are ready to grant Van Nistelrooy's wish for a transfer, he has been told that he will not be allowed to leave Old Trafford on the cheap. Despite Van Nistelrooy's miserable World Cup campaign with Holland, for whom he scored just one goal, and his acrimonious end to last season, United are still determined to receive the full market value for him, having seen Chelsea spend more than £30 million on the 29-year-old Andrei Shevchenko. Ferguson has confirmed that goalkeeper Ben Foster, who was named as stand-by for England's World Cup squad, will spend a second season on loan at Watford as a £3 million move for West Bromwich Albion's Tomasz Kusczak is close to completion.' --------------------------------- [13] West Brom on goalie --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, July 15, 2006 by ed: West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace "We've had talks but absolutely nothing has been agreed. We've said throughout the close season that it's our intention to hold on to key members of the first-team squad." --------------------------------- [12] Fergie on South Africa tour --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, July 15, 2006 by ed: "I came here in 1993 with one or two unknown players. One of them was David Beckham. People may not know some of the players who are on this trip now. But they will do in five years' time." --------------------------------- [11] Fergie on Scholes --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, July 15, 2006 by ed: "Paul Scholes is back - it is as simple as that. It doesn't matter who I am thinking about bringing into my midfield, Paul Scholes will be included, as he would in any side in the world. He is a fantastic footballer and without question Paul can still have a massive impact on the Premiership. I am delighted to have him back. What he experienced last year was a worry because it was the type of injury we had no knowledge of. We didn't really know how it happened, therefore we were a bit anxious about it. But, as we got to the end of the season, he started to improve and now he is 100%. He has come through every training session so far. He is only 31 and he still has a good few years ahead of him." --------------------------------- [10] United wanted me --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, July 15, 2006 by ed: Vladimir Stojkovic "Manchester United wanted me but the transfer did not materialise for different reasons. Other English clubs were also following me but I was not interested in them. I am very happy to be in Nantes, here I will be given the opportunity to show my qualities."

I've heard about the interest in me from Spain and I'm proud to hear a club like Real Madrid are thinking of me. It's a great compliment and would make any professional happy." --------------------------------- [7] Red News Summer Mag 126 out on Monday --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, July 15, 2006 by ed: Red News Summer Edition.

It's a World Cup quarter final, high pressure, and these things happen. You do what's best for your own country. I don't think there's a problem between Wayne and Cristiano. It's just something the press like to build up between them both because of the club they play for. The press like to cause problems. If it had been any other player asking the referee to send the player off, I don't think it would have been a problem."

There will be a few younger players on this tour and I am now one of the more experienced in the squad, so I've got a lot of responsibility. The whole ethos of the club is to bring through young players, though. Our boys will be coming back with not so many first-team players around, so there is an opportunity for them to be starting more games than expected. They need to take full advantage of South Africa - and so do I." --------------------------------- [3] Latest Champions League seedings for next season --------------------------------- Posted Saturday, July 15, 2006 by ed: Pot 1 coef.

It's not up to everyone else to suit my style of play, I've got to adapt to everyone else and I think that I've gradually been doing that." --------------------------------- [10] Proper player power --------------------------------- Posted Friday, July 14, 2006 by ed: Aston Villa players release statement about how unhappy they are with Deadly Doug "People talk about Aston Villa being a big club and winning the European Cup in 1982. We feel it should be a big club, but if the chairman has got ambition, he needs to start showing it. It has to come from the top. So many other clubs are doing so much to show their ambition apart from us. As players we're all ambitious and we want to improve on last season. The chairman should be behind the club and not working against what we're trying to achieve. There have been a series of cutbacks and we feel we have to mention this because they are now starting to affect us. At the end of last season, the chairman refused to pay £300 for the pitches to be watered. The training ground development, which we were all looking forward to working in, has stopped. Now we have lost a masseur because the club refuse to pay for one and are clubbing together to pay for our own. We have also heard that the physio, who was on his way to see Martin Laursen, could not claim back for a cup of coffee at the airport We've had no explanation for the cutbacks and we feel if the manager can't get one, then we have no chance. Maybe the chairman thought he would have left by now because of the takeover. Supporters are concerned with what happens on the pitch and rightly so. But we feel with all the cutbacks, it is difficult to attain the targets we all share. In the second half of last season, there was no investment in the team. A loan player - Eirik Bakke - was sent back to Leeds and now we're unable to sign James Milner from Newcastle. There are no positives coming out of the club. We need to see a plan where the club is going and all the players feel the same. Every penny is being watched."

Ben Foster will return back to Watford on loan after the SA tour "We have an agreement with Watford that the boy goes back for the full year" --------------------------------- [7] BBC on Ruud --------------------------------- Posted Friday, July 14, 2006 by ed: 'Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy has asked to leave Manchester United. United boss Sir Alex Ferguson said the 30-year-old wanted an Old Trafford exit after arriving in Durban for the start of the club's pre-season. "There may be some interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich," Ferguson said on Friday. "I am waiting for Manchester United chief executive David Gill to fill me in but Ruud van Nistelrooy has asked to leave the club." Van Nistelrooy found first-team chances hard to come by in the second half of last season and rumours of a rift with Ferguson grew when the Dutch striker left the ground before United's last game. The stumbling block to his move could be the fee. Real are thought to be ready to offer £10m, but United are reported to want £15m. However, the news that Brazilian striker Ronaldo will miss the start of the season as he recovers from knee surgery could force the Spanish club's hand. Meanwhile, Bayern are ready to speak to United, with club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge saying: "The player wants to come to us we know that. "Now we will approach the thing with all calm. "We have to speak with the player and naturally with Manchester United but there are no grounds for haste." Van Nistelrooy was a £19m signing from PSV Eindhoven in 2001 and has scored 150 goals in 218 appearances.' --------------------------------- [6] Thanks for your patience --------------------------------- Posted Friday, July 14, 2006 by ed: Whilst the Ed was away.

The 20-year-old has agreed a three-year contract at Home Park and will link up with his new team-mates prior to a pre-season friendly with Grays on Saturday. The club, with Ebanks-Blake now in tow, will then depart for Austria on a week-long training camp, and Holloway is delighted to wrap up what he believes will prove to be an 'absolute bargain'. "I'm very, very pleased," said Holloway. "He's someone I have been monitoring for some time as he has got power, pace and is hungry to make a reputation. "I am as excited about having him here as he is about coming. "I just want him to enjoy his football and, for £200,000, he is an absolute bargain. We have been quoted half a million for players of his age who aren't as good. "He's a fantastic player and a fantastic young man which, for me, is more important than all his other attributes." http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2051413-10294323 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news --------------------------------- [4] Italy faces up to big team sanctions --------------------------------- Posted Friday, July 14, 2006 by ed: from Reuters 'A tribunal in charge of an Italian soccer match-fixing trial has ordered top clubs Juventus, Fiorentina and Lazio to be relegated with points penalties to the second division Serie B, the Italian Football Federation said on Friday.
