With the week being of for World Cup 2010 Qualifiers, it means that the rumour mills are working out to make a groundwork for the approaching transfer window this break. Let me try to cover the basic stories as my own groundwork here at 11Reds for the coming times. In relation with ManUtd, the rumours of strong interest and validity (that rules out the stupid Barcelona rumour for Wayne Rooney) we have two of them. Players in question being Nani and Carlton Cole.

Almost every newspaper has run a story today carrying the so called inflammatory remarks of Nani, who went on to talk about his life at United and how he feels that he has not been given enough chances.

Nani, meanwhile, was handed the chance to fill his fellow Portuguese’s shoes, a task at which he has disappointed massively so far. So, in this hour of need, Nani was left with no other option but to make a distress call. And who better to give advice than the man whom he is trying to succeed? [Keep Reading…]
With Cristiano Ronaldo making the move to his ‘dream’ club, we are definitely short of attacking options. Replacing a player who scored 42 and 26 goals in the past two seasons would be no mean feat. While it will be impossible for just the one man to offset the loss of Ronaldo, it has to be said that the burden of expectations will be biggest on Nani’s shoulders. But, to use a most clichéd expression, is he the real deal? [Keep Reading…]
