How about Delaney tries to set off 10-15 minutes earlier?
I doubt he's actually blaming him in the sense that he's angry, and feels Keane is the one in the wrong. It's most probably just a passing comment, like when you get done for speeding 'cos you're busting to go to the loo, or want to watch your favourite TV show.
The media are probably just trying to make a meal of it.

Manchester City join the race to sign former United striker Rossi - Football Hotline - Football - Sport - People.co.uk
The Rossi story about City....does'nt anyone recall the first choice on re buying him clause that United put in on his release?....I'm sure I remember that
The Rossi story about City....does'nt anyone recall the first choice on re buying him clause that United put in on his release?....I'm sure I remember that
Don't see how he'd ever have been his replacement?? He is too old to have ever replaced Giggs like for like.
Surely, he'd just have been Giggs' back-up rather than an actual replacement!!!
Besides, he was obviously never good enough
Everybody would've been expecting Giggs to finish up at 32 or 33, at which time Bojan would've only been 24/25. Nobody realised Giggsy would go on this long.
Yeh, if we matched whatever bid was accepted, and then Rossi would have to want to come back

Btw Notw is claiming that united will make a 20m offer to arsenal for nasri, this week.
Nasri for 20 mil.with wages at a level of 100-120 k per week would be a steal!

lets sell our best winger for a.nothing feeOut: Gareth Bale & Luka Modric
In: David Beckham & Joe Cole
Triffic lads.
In: David Beckham & Joe Cole
Triffic lads.
Nice thought, except for the fact that United don't discuss with the papers what they are going to do.
don't worry, the notw know how to get that sort of information
That's the problem with giving players monster contract, Adebayor is on like £160 000 a week only a handful clubs can match that but are unwilling so City is stuck with him
That's like £100M of players that nobody wants!
If they want to play football they could always take a pay cut.
