ps post source. Even Curbs himself admitted that it will be difficult to attract players to team given their current situation. I think the best bet is to bleed their youth players - West Ham has a history of grooming good players, now its a good time to do so.

In any case, West Ham has nothing to lose.

MANCHESTER, England -- American teenager Freddy Adu began a two-week trial with English Premier League club Manchester United on Monday.

The 17-year-old Adu took part in training with players from the club's youth academy. Man United's senior squad left Monday for Glasgow, Scotland, for its Champions League match against Celtic on Tuesday.

Because Adu doesn't have a British work permit, he is not able to play in a competitive match.

Under FIFA transfer rules, Adu, who plays for MLS club D.C. United, is not allowed to transfer to a club outside the United States until he turns 18 on June 2, 2007.

Chelsea has also expressed interest in possibly signing Adu at some point.

I hope man u signs Adu. Oh! Man U did sign Adu; in my FM07 for 4.5m; playing in my under19s. will replace scholes in a couple of years time.

and when some genius said that riquelme was never a possibility after carrick's arrival; i may have a hunch that fergie's trying to mould carrick into a defensive mf. i suppose carrick's in between scholes and keane type of player.

def - Who knows? fergie may be keeping an eye on Leighton Baines. lol. and the most likely departure would be heinze.

As much as we love him, heinze's been out with injury for quite some time; and may take a while before he can regain his match fitness, first-team place, and match his last season's superb form. Evra is gettin' better; though i think the only attribute in which he beats heinze is his pace.

i think more likely silverstre will go rather than Heinze. Silverstre's place is being taken by Evra & Heinz and he is not convincing playing centre-back cos he lack the stature. O Shea & Wes Brown will fare better as centre back.

Also maybe a midfielder to partner Carrick & Scholes or replace Scholes when he leaves. I would have thot Carrick is to replace Keane?? Defenders wise i think nobody exciting yet. Or maybe a left winger to complement Giggs, I thot Park is a good cover but since he is injured and Kireran Richardson has not really convince ppl that he is ready.

But I hope SAF stays away from S. Americans, they don't seem to fit well with Man U, look at Veron, Klberson, Folan....all history now.

they're not called rumours for nothing, bozo. and obviously the media has a mix of sustainable news and trash news.

Reuters - Fernando Torres will join Manchester United for £22m.
Atletico madrid have given up trying to keep Spain's hottest prospect; nicknamed 'El Nino'. The deal will cost Manchester United £22 million. Torres is also wanted by defending English champions Chelsea.

Atletico had already splashed £15m on another hot prospect; this time it is Sergio Aguero hailing from Argentina. With huge mounting debts; they would need the money; also to bring in a few players.

Manchester United may well then try their luck and move for Aldo Duscher again as a defensive midfielder. Former transfer target Mahamadou Diarra had already moved to Real Madrid from Lyon for £25m and Gattuso was flinging in and out of the crease between United and AC Milan.

Manchster United are confident they can land their top target Owen Hargreaves for £20m. They see him as an ideal replacement for Roy Keane. Currently nursing an injury, Bayern would be hard-pressed to let him go.

United will also reinstate their interest in a late-bloomer in the form of Argentine playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme for £10 million.

Another fleet-footed wing-wonder slated to join United for £5m would be Sporting Lisbon's Nani. Fergie probably thought Nani would complement Ronaldo on the opposite flank.

Fergie may once again also set his eye on both Argentine misfits currently languishing in West Ham - Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez. The duo are rumoured to move to a big club during the January transfer window.

Sir Alex Ferguson is currently in the hunt for Stewart Downing or Joe Cole, as he sees either of them the ideal heir to Welsh wizard Ryan Giggs. Boro may be tempted to sell Downing; but would see United shell out at least £10m for their prized prospect who came through the ranks. Chelsea would reject any United approach for Joe Cole, but only if they had Rooney in exchange. Chelsea boss Mourinho had once stated that the only missing jigsaw they had missed out on was Rooney.

With a £10m profit from John Obi Mikel's deal-compensation, Carrick bought for £14m and Tomas Kusczak in for a £2m loan deal Ferguson may be tempted to breach the £50million mark on his summer transfer spending.

Fergie should go for Tomas Sivok from Sparta Prague and Vincent Kompany from Anderlect. Tomas Sivok is tall and well-built, tackles well, has great determination and positioning, creates goals, has composure and pases well. He's the best replacement for Keane. Fergie could use Kompany as a right-back, since Vidic and Ferdinand had already form a solid parntership in central defence. We need more depth, and Torres should be brought in. This would see Smith leaving on loan to other clubs on a short-term basis.

Madrid - Many Barcelona fans are starting to worry about idol Ronaldinho leaving for AC Milan.

The Italian giants have been interested in Ronaldinho for two years now, and there have been several contacts between Milan and Roberto de Assis, brother and agent of the Brazilian megastar.

On Tuesday Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that Silvio Berlusconi, owner of AC Milan, had lunch recently with Ronaldinho's brother - to talk about the possibility of a move to the San Siro.

Barca fans are already worried at this prospect.

An online poll taken by Catalan sports paper Mundo Deportivo shows that 56 per cent of fans are 'very worried' about the prospect of Ronaldinho wanting to leave Camp Nou in the near future.

Only a small minority of readers, 11.6 per cent, think that Barca should 'take advantage of Ronaldinho's high market value and sell him straight away.'

According to the poll, only 28 per cent of Barca fans believe that Ronaldinho will still be wearing the famous red-and-blue striped shirt 'in five years' time.'

Santi Nolla, editor of Mundo Deportivo, comments that 'these fears are understandable, given the historic inability of Barca to hold on to their top foreign players.'
