I think we should have one thread will all the other teams summer signings of any sort of significance.

City just signed Brazilian Jo who played well last summer at the U20 world cup and had been playing in Moscow. his fee is tied for 7th all time for a foreigner 19M !

Bolton picked up Swede Elmander from Toulouse, I remember him getting a lot of hype when we played them, didn't do much

19m for Jo, woah.

Elmander would do well with bolton, the kind of striker they need, big, good in the air and decent finishing.

also this is a bit old but Spurs have signed both Luka Modric (who we were linked with for a bit) the Croat, and have signed Barca starlet Giovanni dos Santos who has a lot of promise, has played 5 games for Mexico and 38 for Barca in 2 years and he is only 19 years old!

Jo for 19 million rather expensive , city really have money to splurge , didn't thaksin want to buy us a few seasons ago , hate his attitude but it would have been good to have cash the way city are spending it , same for spurs .

i think Spurs will be the same as last year. Ok, they won the Milk Cup, but they struggled badly in the league and i don't think next year will be any different.

Loss of Carlos Queiroz could decide Ronaldo future at Manchester United
Oliver Kay

Manchester United appear to be losing the battle to retain the services of Carlos Queiroz, Sir Alex Ferguson’s assistant manager. Queiroz was close to accepting an offer last night to succeed Luiz Felipe Scolari as coach of the Portugal national team in a move that would be another blow to United’s prospects of keeping Cristiano Ronaldo from the clutches of Real Madrid.

United remained silent on the matter last night, but Queiroz, who held talks with Gilberto Madail, the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, in Lisbon on Tuesday, is understood to be inclined to accept the four-year contract he has been offered. Sources in Lisbon indicated that Madail hoped to be in a position to confirm the appointment as early as today, although United still hope to persuade Queiroz to stay at Old Trafford and may be prepared to offer him an improvement in the terms of his 12-month rolling contract.

The departure of Queiroz would be another unwelcome jolt for United, barely a month after Ferguson endorsed the 55-year-old as a leading candidate to succeed him as manager in the next two or three years. It would leave Ferguson with the problem of having to look for a new assistant manager, but it could also have serious repercussions for United in their efforts to keep hold of Ronaldo.

Queiroz enjoys a close relationship with the Portugal international, who, having made clear his intention to move to Real Madrid and indicated that he is prepared to “upset” Ferguson and others at the club to get the move he wants, may feel that he has even less reason to stay at Old Trafford if the assistant manager leaves.

The frenzy over Ronaldo’s future may have died down over the past week, but, contrary to reports, the player remains determined to secure a transfer for what would be a world-record fee, likely to be far in excess of £60 million. Having spent the past week on holiday in Sardinia with his Spanish girlfriend, the 23-year-old returned to Portugal yesterday, telling reporters that “regarding my future, I cannot say anything”.

Ronaldo did confirm his intention to stay at his house in Sintra, near Lisbon, to convalesce after aggravating an injury to his right ankle while playing for Portugal in the European Championship finals last month. The injury was examined in Lisbon yesterday lunchtime by Steve McNally, United’s doctor — Ronaldo’s first meeting with any Old Trafford official since first articulating his desire to join Real a month ago — and a member of the Portuguese FA’s medical staff, but a United statement last night indicated that the assessment was inconclusive and that “further specialist advice” would be sought before it is decided whether he requires surgery
