For £5M a year I'd play football in the seventh circle of hell if I had to.
Other top excuses (usually for seeking a transfer away from the club):
Their wives are "homesick".
They don't like the food.

what, with Greggs what else do you need
I live in York - we eschew Greggs and go to Thomas the Baker instead.
I can understand say, a Polish builder coming over here and not liking the food. Fair enough. A multi-millionaire footballer though? He can eat whatever and wherever he wants. He could afford to hire his own personal chef to cater for his needs.

I think they want these players:
Xabi Alonso
Arbeloa
Marcano ( left deffender from Racing de Santander )
Silva
and if the Bayern munchen´s president doesn´t force Ribery to go on with them he will go also to RM. If not he will go next year cheaper as he only would have a year of contract left.

if those players are secured then Madrid will def have some team but the problem is can these players Gel or will the Flop. Also from a Barca perspective there is these additions confirmed and the possibility of joining.
Javier Mascherano
Luis Filipe
David Villa
Keirrison
I'd be surprised if he was a popular as Beckham in Asia but then perhaps they like people without chins over there? Dunno.
I can't wait for the movie: "Pointless Stepover it like CR9".
Don't forget, he's also apparently made of mahogany if recent photographs are anything to go by, so environmentalists like him too.
Cheapest once all marketing, sponsorship income and shirt sales are factored in. Aspescially when you recieve 50% of all personal deals as well.
The semi expensive relatively unknown players often tend to be most expensive
lass has been excelent, hope we get Alonso from pool
Sorry for double, iPhone
Fair enough, I thought that's what you might have meant.
And let's hope you don't get Alonso from Liverpool. Or at least, if you do you pay over the odds. To be honest, I think even RM may start to run out of money soon...
Repordedly there is still 50 mill euro to go. +cash from player sales
Owen signing to Man utd pending medical????
Wtf. has to be wrong. What the hell are they supposed to do with owen

This one looks like a goer. All over the British media.
A fantastic goalscorer at his peak, but he's probably broken now. I guess Man Utd have simply decided that they have the strength in depth to gamble on a player who will probably (but not definitely) fail to make an impact.
I think we're talking 1 year deal, not huge wages; Owen making a final attempt to make the World Cup squad. Oh, and failure.
Looking at the stats, up to the end of January last season (when Owen picked up his groin injury from which he never really recovered properly), he'd scored 10 goals from 18 starts and 4 sub appearances. A good record, especially when you bear in mind that this was playing for a rubbish team too.
Owen is a goalscorer through and through and, assuming he's not too expensive and can remain relatively injury-free would be a great asset to practically any Premiership team.
Signing for Manyoo might actually be good for him as he wouldn't be expected to play week-in, week-out which you would imagine might help his injury problems.
If he goes there (or another top 8 club) and remains relatively injury-free, I could see him scoring 15+ goals - a total which is not to be sniffed at for any striker.
It will be interesting to see what does happen - I can see him surprising many people next season.

I am in the thinking this could be a good buy for Man Utd, we all know that Fergie is a great manager and for me is the right person to get the best out of Owen even if he only last's a couple more season. Good buy if you ask me
Was reading last night that the deal that Barca will sign David Villa is slowly slipping away and now Barca will focus on bringing Diego Forlan to the Nou Camp.

Today´s rumours:
- Xabi Alonso and Arbeloa from Liverpool
-Goel Clichy from Arsenal ( Marcano signed yesterday with Villarreal ). At last a good left back!
-Ribery is pressing a lot to Bayern and maybe he comes this year.

could see him joining AC before Man U
Crap, Barca is moving for Mata. I hoped that RM would sign either Silva or Mata instead of Ribery
