What will gary do without you :(

Hopefully this means the cash will be used to buy someone though...

Yeah, but nobody really knows why he's stalling.

He's not going to leave, he can't possibly want more money, and if Gill and Fergie are content with the process of negotiations then it should be alright for the fans.

Then he should sign the contract and show some loyalty to the club that stood by him.

I'd be more worried about rio and reception he will get from OT next week.

I dont think he will be able to take the booing for too much longer.

Nice to Van Nistelrooy get a hat-trick last night though, and he actually scored from outside the box with a free-kick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Silvestre looks like one of those goblin-creatures out of The Descent. I'd sell him before he tries to eat Rooney's ears.

Selling Nistelrooy would make sense, you could still get quite a bit of moolah for him and he won't get as many goals as Owen.

Aren't United planning on getting another decent season out of Roy Keane and getting Ballack once he's out of contract next summer?

And does S'Alex have no concerns about strengthening the defence? I suppose it's fairly solid but I'm not so sure about Silvestre/Brown as a strong enough partner for Rio.

Actually, maybe you are right. joker wages to be paying for someone who hardly plays at all though. Getting rid of him saves anouther £2.6M a year!

:D

Aurevoir Sir Phil and goodluck with the blues.

Well that's our season over before it's begun, getting rid of Phil "Greatest player to ever play the game" Neville is sheer lunacy.

Course what with Vieria gone there wasn't really any need for him anymore to do his usual stick the lanky whining frenchman in his back pocket for 90 minutes routine.

Toodle pip Phil you gorgeous specimen, you served us well.

I'm fairly sure he signed a new deal a while ago at the same time as Gary for £50k a week. Could be wrong, though.

My point was that I don't see why Phil wants to leave, not why Man Utd would be looking to sell him. I don't think they'd have actively tried to sell him, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better player who's prepared to spend so much time on the bench.

If Phil wants first-team football, what has taken him so long to realise this?

You'll regret this, Phil. And Gary now has no friends. Anywhere.

Regardless of the fee it frees up salary and spaces to bring in new players. The money for new players is apparently already there anyway.

Oh, and neville was on about 30K a week.
