Our plans were to bid for the player (Rooney) in summer 2005, but Newcastle United's bid and Everton's subsequent interest in selling him, forced us to accelarate our plans or risk losing him,
Namely the manager will assess what he believes a player is worth and he will discuss that with the board and then we will go after that target. If we can achieve it at that target, great, but if we can't we will have to move on to the next player.
Kieran Richardson played for England last summer in Chicago and did very well but views himself as an England player and comes in and wants more money. I don't buy the argument that international appearances add value to a player - they come in and ask for more money. We are not a selling club and we seldom sell international players.
I would think if he gets convicted of something there may be some changes. We still go by innocent until proven guilty.
We've given them a date and it would be nice if it could happen. Everyone at the club, particularly the supporters, would like to pay tribute to Roy after everything he's done for us.
If it should creep towards 60 percent that would become a major concern.
Sgt. Vick was an honorable man, but heroes are people and people make mistakes. Sgt. Vick had a lapse of judgment to allow himself to get to a .20 blood alcohol level.
Sgt. Vick pursues her, not for prostitution. He knows full well she is not a prostitute.
Sir Alex and Carlos made their views known and I can only reiterate what they said. Ruud has a two-year contract with Manchester United and remains very much part of our long-term planning. I saw what came out of Italy yesterday but as far as I am concerned, it is just mischief making.
We hope to make one or two very big signings this summer - and we are already committed to that.
We did have concerns and we now have in place the business plan which was in place when they took over.
We chased it but if you are after a winger you look at maybe three but you only need one. So if you don't get number one you move onto number two.
We certainly believe he will be staying with the club next year. He signed a new long-term contract and there is two further years to go on that. He is part of our squad which we are looking to improve in the summer.
We are very confident that we will reach an agreement to extend Ryan's stay at Old Trafford.
