You don't want Becks to stay? I know he's not the fastest player in the world. But he's still a great crosser of the ball, takes wonderful free kicks and he actually feels something for the club. There's a loyalty there, a bond. And he always works so hard when he's on the pitch. You can always count on him to give 100%. As a package, it's not easy to find players with all those qualities. I'd really hate to see him go.
Quaresma to United for £10 Million - The Independent
- Thread starter Red15
- Start date
Becks' crossing has been a bit poor on the whole for a month or so(cross for Ruud's header apart). Actually whoever takes our corners seems to struggle to clear the first defender. Soooooo frustrating, that!
He did put in that one great cross for Ole yesterday that Ole, so uncharacteristically, headed wide.
Tough call yesterday. I definitely would have started Ole on the right. It would have been between Seba and Becks. Seba's been outstanding in Europe and if he was fully fit, I would have gone with Seba...but with an unfit Seba... Like I say, tough call.

Ah yes, I remember that cross for Ole now.
When I saw the team I was thought Fergie was sure Veron would be 100%. In hindsight it was maybe expecting too much. But I liked the look of the lineup and shape before kick off.

becks has gotta be pissed off - on the bench for pool, arsenal and madrid...and in carlos' pockey IMO in the first madrid game....i would be sad to see him leave but if either he or AF aren't committed to getting along and his staying...well than it would be sad to lose him cos he really loves the club......who to buy if he goes - VIEIRA!!!!!!! gooners need cash to build satdium....and Mr. A. Whinger says he'll leave arsenal if the stadium doesn't come true....after that Queresma sounds good allright but I am a massive Damien Duff fan.....he can do anything and would blossom at O.T.
I've only seen Quaresma play 3 times, but he was absolutely shit hot in all of them - twice on the left wing and once on the right.
I used to be in favour of Duff coming to OT, but he just isn't in Quaresma's league.
We need three top class specialist wide players for competition for places. Giggs, and up until recently Beckham - haven't had any competition for a few years, which explains Giggs' poor form.
Assuming Beckham goes, with Quaresma and Kewell coming in - that would give us 3 genuine wingers, two of which can play either side, .. plus roughly £20M to spend elsewhere.
Lots of competition, lots of options, cover for injuries & suspensions, and IMO a stronger squad than we have at present.
BTW rumours on Red Issue that Kewell's agent was at OT last night, and a £6M deal is just about done.

boath... but his best is probably the right... fantastic player and although beckham is good 20million for a striker and 10 million on this guy woul make us a stronger team (though not financially ... but feck that...it would make us a better team as well.... id would love it we signed <a href="http://www.fifa.com/en/display/article,53890.html" target="_blank">http://www.fifa.com/en/display/article,53890.html</a>
to play along side him...
lightweight... yes ... but more than enough skill to compenste!... think of the pens and think of ruud
If he does come to United, just keep in mind who suggested that we go after Quaresma over 2 years ago

Don't be so naive. Every player has a price.
Personally, I prefer Aimar, he's got a bit more steel, but Ronaldhino is also an excellent player.

Rivaldo is dead?! And Greek?
Quersema is pure class.

Yeah. And he will be great when he gets fit again. But Quaresma was always my main suggestion.
I also got into a debate with loads of people on here regarding who would be better, Aimar or Riquelme. I believe I was the only one who defended Aimar and said he would be the better of the two.
So, no more doubting my scouting abilities.

How did you find out about Quaresma two years ago? Was he playing for Sporting Lisbon then?

OK, Martin Ferguson.
Have my doubts about Viana though.
The Independent, is that a 'reliable' source?

Well, yes, I know that!
queresma seems naturally right footed but - think supercharged figo - he can be quite useful on the left too.
bit of a genius really. got me fingers crossed on this one. if becks does leave this might satisfy a few sweet teeth, especially if he settles and doesnt just show it in flashes for a coupple of years before being sold at twice the price.
if a player like this settled and blossommed

That's why I never have any money! And that's why it's such a shock to sit in the North/South Stand coming back from an away fixture. You go to an away match and if you're not prepared to stand for the whole match, don't bother going. And everybody sings and when United scores, you end up going crazy, hugging everyone around you...most of time people you don't even know. It's great! Also, it's nice because if you're female, the police are usually nice to you and don't hassle you the way some of the guys get hassled.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I bet you only have to worry about the Italian police pinching your bum.

They were actually perfect gentlemen! I went with another woman and do you know how nice they were? We couldn't find a loo for the women in the visitor's end so one of the police officers actually personally escorted us to a loo in the Juventus end, waited for us, escorted us back to the visitor's end just to make sure we didn't get attacked! It was a bit weird, but really nice on their part.
