JawD 31 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I understand chairman Freddy Shepherd and Glenn Roeder had hoped to add to their excellent acquisition of Damien Duff with another new face before PSV Eindhoven arrive at St James' Park on Saturday. But while I gather this has been put off until next week there is most definitely something on the go on the United transfer front. Shepherd never usually misses a United game home or abroad but he was not at Carrow Road for last night's friendly with Norwich City and was said to be away on "club business." And, just as significantly, Roeder did not travel back with the United squad to Tyneside last night but instead stayed in the South. A United source told me today: "We are hoping for more transfer activity early next week." From R.Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming people are taking the highlighted bit as a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw's Juggernaut 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I think we should wait till January before we off load Luque at a cut-price. Yes he had a shite season last year, due to injury and attitude problems. But I think if he is given a chance this season he will play well. And if he hasn't improved by Jan, then we should sell him. *Awaits barrage of replies telling me why I am wrong and deserve to be shot. Repeatedly.

I'm worried by the prospect of paying any more than 10m for Defoe and if we're going to offload Luque for 2m we'll surely get that at Christmas no matter how badly he does, or he might come good and save us 5/10m quid.

Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Cant honestly see Jol being that stupid tbh. Defoe is their top scorer pre season, the fans would go ballistic if they signed luque. I reckon he was more likely at west ham talking about ashton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Jol likes a little & large combination, Defoe and Keane both (rightfully) expect to be first choice. Something's got to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 4802 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 (edited) Roeder doesn't fancy Luque. FACT. Will be gon as soon as we get a good offer...or eventually just an "offer". Edited July 27, 2006 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
