So you should notice the changes from today, they are fixed and final although I may make a few other changes but that depends on my editing skills and my patience with the code. Hope you like the header it took some time but I think it was worth it.
Anyway it’s football again today, as you may have noticed there is very little going on and I’m not for a second interested in the Tour de France and I’m going to keep the Ashes for tomorrow even though it is quite interesting that the first test is be held in Wales but yes that’s for tomorrow.
Right so the big news today is that Bayern have put a price on the head of their star Franck Ribery. Of course Franck is also a contender for footballs ugliest player but he seems to currently be pushed aside by Carlos ‘Neanderthal’ Tevez and Bacary Sagna, ha who says the premiership wins nothing!
Anyways so the tag is set at eighty million euros, a little below the amount Real paid for Ronaldo but also quite a bit more than they got Kaka for. Ribery has revealed his intentions to move to Real but Bayern have other ideas and hope that the price will be out of Reals reach after their kitty has had two big hits already.
Man United were also looking into bringing Ribery in but Ribery quashed those hopes when he stated that the only destination he would move to was the Bernabeu. Seems a bit like déjà vu for United after Benzema rejected their interest in similar fashion and I have to say I’m loving the lack of attention players are giving the English champions.
Speaking of United though their supporters that have been calling for new players can breathe easy as it is likely that Bordeaux winger Gabriel Obertan will be joining the ranks fairly soon. What a relief….
All right no more sarcasm as I’m sure that most of you, like myself, have no idea who this Obertan is. I did some research and after my first look at the player I got the impression that United are missing Silvestre because this Obertan guy looks just like him. Ill try add a picture but if I’m not able to then google him and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
United supporters who hope this deal fades as quickly as the ones for Benzema and Ribery, I’m afraid that the chances are pretty slim as the nobody is set to join for 3 million euros. It will only take up 3% of the money raked in for Ronaldo but if this man is to be the replacement for the Portuguese winger than the champions chances of retaining their crown seem to be dwindling.
Today I heard comments, cant remember where from, but comments nonetheless that Ronaldo was the glue of United and it was through him that the team were so successful. The unknown source has a point as the number of important goals and assists contributed by Ronaldo seem endless. For a midfielder his scoring was remarkable as even a striker would be ecstatic to have his figures. This year Ronaldo finished second to Chelseas hitman Nicholas Anelka by just one goal. If that wasn’t impressive enough in the 2007-08 season he finished top scorer on no less than 31 goals, Arsenals Adebayor finished second but by a quite a distance of 7 goals behind. As horrible as it may seem to think that Ronaldo is right when he said he was worth the money paid for him, these statistics could justify his claim.
Anyways some more bad news for United, I didn’t want to let you guys off today. Gabriel Obertan has scored just three goals in his 54 appearances for Bordeaux and during his loan spell at Loreint earlier this year he managed just one. I could go on but that would be cruel presides United are the champions and that’s to be respected and on that kind note I will close. Remember ashes tomorrow
Cheers
Justin
