We're almost halfway through the transfer-window month of January 2004 already, and yet, Manchester United don't appear to be getting anywhere with new signings, NOW, for the good of our FIRST-team.
Dong Fangzhou looks set to sign for £3.5m - but he will only be playing in the reserves, I'm quite sure.
Then there's that young Celtic midfielder (Miller, I think?), who's been offered a "pre-contract" deal to join on a free, in the Summer...
But, aside from that - and despite what Sir Alex Ferguson PROMISED us United fans - we don't appear to be getting anyone new, with any deals for Mark Viduka and that 19-year-old Dutchman (who's name I forget...) having appeared to have fallen flat on their faces.
Perhaps he does have another "trick" left up his sleeve...
But, if he really wants to make a good deal, surely he has to move now, before it's all too late and the new-boy has less time to settle-in?
This doesn't appear to be happning, though...
And I doubt it's got anything to do with the board and a lack of funds either. If you ask me, he's already got someone else lined-up; someone he cannot get until the end of the season - a time no manager could've ever thought would actually come-around....
I'm talking about Celtic's Swedish (and ageing) goal-scoring sensation, Henrik Larsson, of course! The same player many clubs have been after for years; but neither he or his club have been interested in any outside offer. The man who was "never to leave Parkhead"... UNTIL NOW!
He has stated that this contract (which expires in the Summer) will mark the end of his time with Celtic. So-many goals... So-many match-winning, Rangers-stomping performances.... It's easy to see why he's been so in-demand. And soon, he will finally be up-for-grabs - at the cost of NOTHING!
We all know Ferguson - along with many others - has been a long-term admirer of Larsson's abillity; so, I wouldn't be surprised to see him put the Swede at the very-top of his current shopping-list.
But he still isn't going anywhere until that current deal runs out...
Others clubs have been interested, but who would turn-down the chance to play for our country's very best?! Chelsea (like with EVERY player, these days!) have been linked with him, as have Arsénal (in a similar situation with their lack of striking-options)... But I've got a very good feeling about where he could be heading.
Sir Bobby Robson recently enquired about the Swede's services for his Newcastle side, and was told, we "already know" which club he'll be joining in the Summer. The deal's already done, apparently...
Why else would Sir Alex go all-quiet when he KNOWS we need someone?!
Larsson to Man United this Summer? Let's just wait and see...! ;)

No no no, you got it all wrong. The only reason he's gonna go to St Andrews, is because it's a expensive toilet which is already full of crap.

Might explain why their kit is white and black :s
Actually every time I've seen Hartson play he has looked more of a sort of reddish colour, like he had fallen asleep on a beach on the Algarve whilst drunk. In mid day.
Maybe Fulham have lots of colour blind supporters.

How can they replace Saha with Hartson?
For start Hartson is is white! Wont the fans notice?!
*runs*

The thing with Saha still sees to be up in the are. His agent is today insisting, that a new bid from United is coming and he will complete a move to United this week whlst I also read that Fulham will replace him will John Hartson.
*shrug*

He has frequently stated that he wants to go to Spain, for one year before retiring.
Oh and his Rangers stomping performances have been very few, it's Hartson, Sutton and Thompson (who has to be in the next England squad if there is to be any justice in the world) who do the damage against Rangers.
That's because a good defender like Craig Moore can mark Larsson out of a game. I don't think he quite has it any more to be honest.

Dropping a point against Newcastle was the worst mistake of the season.
Watch this space.

Solskjaer will be back soon, and that will be like signing a new striker considering how long he's been out for!
Arjen Robben is a godly football player.
In CM01/02 that is.
So yeah, he rocks.
