First Round draw for England's proper Cup competition.

I still think Villa will head to Madrid tbh . They also have the option to put Negredo in with the deal aswell tbh which may work in Reals favour.
Villa has come out and said that he wants to stay in Spain and apparently has the final say on the matter. Barca or Madrid are his most likely destinations imo.

I also expect Ribery to stay put at Bayern or sign for Madrid, again possibly throwing in VDV/Sneijder in with the deal also.

madrid dont want to pay velancias asking price

funny it didnt stop them paying funny money for ronaldo

€43-45 million cash or €30 million plus Negredo.
Valencia are not interested in the €30 million plus Negredo as Negredo would only be on loan and let's face it He's not worth €15 million, especially not when he'll walk away at the end of the season.
The noises coming out of the media here seem to suggest it's swinging in favour of Barça.

You should be made up Ronald has left Utd.

iam

i just dont see why madrid have now come out and said

we will not meet there asking price

Because they don't agree with the asking price maybe?

Or like Robbie said earlier, they're playing the game.

If Madrid pull out of the race to sign Valencia leaving United as the sole interested party, surely that plays into the hands of United.
The lad has said he wants to move and Dave Whelan has acknowledged this, saying he won't stand in his way as long as the offer is satisfactory.
With only one club still in for him there's no chance of a bidding war, something United really couldn't win.
