Manchester United launch £63m bid for Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery

[cannotmakeit]

the old tramp said something along the lines of Rafa will go on a mad spending spree now he has control of the transfers. Well if he is so scared of us improving he feels the need to spunk 63m on 1 player then go ahead.

Lets hope Ribery says no, that'd be well funny.

I hope it happens, it will mean ladyboy is off which is a big loss to them and if they spunk the majority of the cash on a single player id be more than happy. I know riberty is a good player but theres no guarantee he will be a success, who knows. I would have been more concerned that they were going to buy a couple of stars like Aguero and villa or people of that nature. Splach it on 1 player, unless its messi, and im a happy man. Go for it you drunken cunt.

He would be a replacement for Ronaldo but Barca want him too. Which is fine by me because Ribery is not as deadly as Ronaldo

Barcelona have reached an agreement with Bayern Munich to sign French star Franck Ribery, according to reports in Spain.

Ribery has been a long-term target for Barca and the Catalan giants are thought to have a struck a deal with Bayern to sign the 26-year-old winger this summer.

El Mundo Deportivo claims that representatives of the two clubs met with Ribery's agent Alain Migliaccio in Ibiza, agreeing a £30million cash-plus-player deal.

Bayern are believed to have accepted a fee of 25m Euros (£22.3m) plus the choice of either Aleksandr Hleb or Eidur Gudjohnsen, who are valued at 8m Euros (£7.1m).
Four-year deal

The France international has two years left on his Bayern contract and it is thought Barca have offered a four-year deal, although the club are yet to make an official announcement.

Manchester United and Real Madrid have also been linked with a big-money move for Ribery, who cost Bayern a club-record 25m Euros from Marseille in 2007.

I hope Barca get Ribery and Madrid get Ronaldo.

Ginsoak can have Aaron Lennon
