Man Utd's June Transfer Dealings
Those who know me knows that I'm an avid Man Utd Fan. I can't help but to comment about Man Utd's recent 2 high profile transfer dealings.
1.) Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (80m to Real Madrid)
2.) Carlos Alberto Tevez (Rejected Man Utd's Contract)
I am DELIGHTED, yes, DELIGHTED, as in happy, glad, relieved that Ronaldo is gone from Man Utd.
Firstly, no offense to his skills. I admire his skills greatly, and I'm grateful for his contributions for Man Utd in the last 6 seasons. He scores lots of goals, great goals, important goals, easy goals, penalty kicks, set pieces, you name it, he does it. Do I hate his arrogance? No I don't.. because I feel great players have the right to be arrogant, remember Eric the King? True united legend.
So why am I happy that he has left Man Utd?
1.) He has recently loss his ability to play as a team. His true colours showed against Barcelona in the Champions League final. His selfish and individual play led to the disaster of the team play. Not to blame him alone but as the only man up front, we had poor posession of the ball in the final third. Instead of holding the ball and let midfielders like Rooney, Ji Sung and Anderson move up, he tried to tackle the entire Barcelona defense alone.
2.) His childish reactions. I cannot stand his childish reactions.... Acting like a kid whining after he drops his ice cream... Compare the maturity growth between Rooney and Ronaldo, you know where I'm getting at. Rooney is more adult and professional now, but Ronaldo's handling of failures and being substituted out is not the stuffs that comes from Legends....
3.) Greed. Same feeling goes when Beckham left for Real Madrid. Anybody following football well enough will know the Real Madrid is just a museum of great talents. Count the medals won by players such as Giggs, Scholes and Neville and we all know which football club to play for to win the most medals. It was obviously not about the medals, more about the $$$.
4.) I feel the 80m transfer funds earn by selling Ronaldo can help improve the overall balance of the whole team. We may have Anderson to replace Scholes, Rafael to replace Neville, but we have yet to find someone to replace Giggs and Hargreaves time will soon be up. No doubt we may have Berbatov and Rooney, but we need a goal scoring machine (Benzema?). Ferguson still needs to bolster the strike force with 1 "goal scoring machine' and 2 more wingers at the least. Personally, I don't like the idea of Rooney on the wing.. I prefer him up front (look at England's recent scorers...), so Ferguson should really look on getting a TRUE winger.... (Valencia?)
So on a final verdict on Ronaldo, I wonder how many more medals he can win with Real Madrid. I hope Real lose out the title to Barcelona... Just like how Messi showed that he has better overall qualities then Ronaldo...
On the Tevez affair. I'm not delighted that we didn't manage to capture him. But its not really like his that big of a loss compared to Ronaldo, so I'm not disappointed as well.
I have nothing against him. He is a hardworker and is somewhat like the Ji Sung type of player. But in my personal opinion, we don't really need hardworkers like Ji Sung in the striking department! 5 goals this season as a striker, with most of it coming in the league cup, how did he contribute to the EPL glory? Most modern day strikers will be considering him as a Goal-Shy striker...
With 18 starts and 11 Subs, compared to Rooney's (25/5) and Berbatov's (29/2), Tevez only managed 5 goals and 3 assists, compared to Rooney's (12/7) and Berbatov's (9/9). With such statistics, how then do you expect to be ahead of Rooney and Berbatov in the starting line up? Furthermore, giving the excuse that he hasn't played enough games is just totally a lame excuse. He wasn't really far off behind Rooney and Berbatov in terms of number of games played.
We have Rooney to work his socks off in the striking department, we don't need another one. Imagine if Rooney and Tevez goes after the same ball and wins them in midfied.. oh dear, where are the strikers!?
Cantona didn't need to be hardworking like Tevez to be a legendary goal scorer. We don't need another work horse like Rooney, Ji Sung, Carrick... what we need is a goal scorer. Unless Tevez wants to switch to midfield... just like Alan Smith did. But are you sure you want to spend 30Mils on a player that may end up the same story as Alan Smith? Not for me.....
And what would the ideal signing be for Man Utd?
To be honest, I dont' really watch Antonia Valencia and David Villa that much, but I'm a big fan of Benzema and Ribery. Ribery is over priced... but he will be a good buy for 30Mils. Benzema for 30 mils as well. I'm sure Ribery will bring out the best of Berbatov and Rooney. (Ronaldo was too selfish...). Benzema can add to the extra sting up front when we need 3 ahead.
As for backup's, I'm confident to stick with the likes of Darren Gibson, Federico Macheda and Welback. Oh yeah, Ritchie De Laet performed amazingly in MU's last match as well! And I've yet to see Tosic do anything grand! ARGH!!!!!
I'll wait patiently. I just hope Ferguson don't end up like his last signing spree after Beckham left.... Remember Djemba-Djemba... David Bellion... and what was the other guys name.... Kleberson? Urgh...... Together with Liam Miller and a few others... Those are the WORST signings I've ever seen from Ferguson. Lets hope there's none of that anymore and I'm very excited about Man Utd's Transfer activity for the next 2 months!

Mozart Beyond The Grave
Just a joke I saw somewhere... =)
When Mozart passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Mozart was buried.
Terrified, the drunk ran and got the town magistrate to come and listen to it.
When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Mozart's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards."
He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling."
So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..."
Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Mozart decomposing."
