A shock move by United. Owen in for United.

Well, that is surprising. I don't know what led Mr. Ferguson to sign the Candle with no lights. Haha, but I am really really shocked as well. How desperate we are to have a striker that we went to a striker who has net not even 30 goals in his last four years at Newcastle. Anyways, SAF is best so he might have seen something which we cannot see. Just like when he released Beckham in 2003. That time, no body knew who Ronaldo is. Now, he is worth 80 Million. So just wait n watch.

I strongly support this decision. Owen is very desperate to play first class football and eyeing for a spot in next year world cup in Capello's team. So he will put everything which he can to gain the appreciation of Englash Internation Team coach. Owen had a pace, which he literally couldn't use at the Newcastle. It seems that his pace is gone now. But wait a minute, how pace can be gone? It is definitely inherent. He will need a little support and an aggressive training. Result will show his talent. Moreoever, we cannot say that a person who actually scored so many goals for Liverpoo, and England, is no more capable of scoring goals at the age of 29. He still has around 4 years of great football. He just needs to be utilized perfectly, which he was not at the Newcastle. A striker's task is to create scoring chances, and he does so with the help of a creative midfield. Unfortunately, Newcastle's midfield was not that creative but Man United's midfield are. So Owen will definitely set the great example of a great comeback. He may not be as favorite as Tevez is, but for me, now he is a United player and any united player is over and above any other soccer player for me. So cheers for Owen.

I wish him a very good luck and wish him to gain a spot in the first team for United very soon.

Valencia Comes in, and Benzema already on the radar

Hi,

Tring tring, good news for us. Valencia comes in. Benzema is also said to be the most likely one to join United. Valnecia, was delighted after a transfer for an undisclosed fee(which is said to be approximately somewhere around 16 million).

In Valencia words :

"Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me, I have enjoyed my time at Wigan, but I am thrilled to have the chance to challenge for the biggest honours in club football here. Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience. I can't wait to get started."

And also, United is rumored to win the Benzema services after making a monsterous bid of around 36 million. If he comes in, then he will definitely fill the gap which Tevez's departure has created for us.

The best thing about these two players are : they are very young and can be moulded to any playing styles easily. Benzema is 21 French, and Valencia is 23 Ecuadior. Well, Benzema is far better replacement for Tevez as compared to Valencia for Ronaldo. Benzema will prove to be vital, who knows, even better than Tevez. But Ronaldo is too too fast to compared with Valencia. But, no doubt, Valencia has a potential and a pace too. It may be not fast as Ronaldo's one, but remember, how Mr. Ferguson turned a 17 yr old Portuguese kid into a complete player. So we know, SAF is capable making best players out of good players. So keep a watch on him.

Having Nani/Park on the left and Valencia on the right, Hargreaves/Carrick/Fletcher/Anderson in the middle, Rooney,Berbatov,Benzema on forward. Wow. That looks an attacking one. But I miss Tevez here. I would really love Rooney Benzema and Tevez rather. But he is not happy at OT. So best of luck to him.

Edited on 29th August 2009 : Ahh, I knew, I wanted Benzema to join United but he preferred Madrid rather. But I just read it yesterday that the Increasing Tax Implications can be one of the reason. Benzema, we will Miss you ;)
