YES!!! TEVEZ TO UNITED!!!!

Today shall be known as the day I creamed in my pants! Before we get ourselves all excited over the news (it's in all the major publications), as of right now, it's not a done deal yet. But one thing's for sure, it's pretty darn close. This is right out of the journals of fantasy football.

Tevez is a proven winner at all levels, and we saw first hand how he single-handedly staved off relegation with West Ham. He's Cantona special, and his work-rate, from everything I've read, is United through and through.

I can't wait for this news to be confirmed. Meanwhile, here's the news. Eat your hearts out!

BBC - United Close in on Striker Tevez
Times - United Close in on Tevez
The Telegraph - Tevez Set for United
Manchester Evening News - Reds Close in on Tevez

United Unveils New Jersey

United has officially unveiled the new home jersey for the upcoming season. I'm personally not too overwhelmed with the design. Call me old school, but jerseys without collars to flip up just doesn't work for me. Moreover the back just doesn't seem asethetic enough. Maybe with the names and numbers printed, it might actually look pleasing to the eye. In any case, I'm not adding any money into the Glazers' pockets.


In other news, we've offically signed Owen Hargreaves.

Nani and Anderson both signed 5-year deals. And we've made the Kuszczak loan deal a permanent one.

Rooney : The Perfect 10?

King Wayne - Denis Law handed over the no. 10 jersey to Rooney in a symbolic gesture. The jersey had been left vacant since the departure of Ruud, and Rooney aims to fill those large shoes. There is also speculation of the new jersey numbers the newcomers, Nani (no. 12?), Anderson (no.8?) and Hargreaves (no. 23?) will wear in the coming season.



Anderson Gets Work Permit - Anderson gets his work permit after the original application was denied. This is going to be good news for Ferguson, Anderson and the fans. No doubt Anderson will take a while to get used to United's culture and the sooner he gets here and trains with the lads, the better.

Pool's Cheeky Attempt At Heinze - No doubt this rumour is going to grab the headlines, if it hasn't already done so. It's nothing but a cheeky attempt by the seagulls to sensationalize. I would be surprised if United even accepts a bid and I trust Heinze to have the integrity to turn down the bid. Be sure if it comes to past, we'd be burning effigies of Heinze from Manchester to Singapore.

Tevez Loan Unlikely - A summary of all the above United news and rumours. The most sobbering piece claims that a Tevez loan deal is unlikely. Apparently the owners of the rights to Tevez are looknig to cash in this coming season. Also in the article, Everton has expressed interest in Richardson.
