Good evening. United fans up and down the country must surely be hoping for three things to happen before the end of the summer. Firstly, the Tevez transfer goes through. Secondly, Heinze decides to stay and rediscovers his form for next season (or at least does not join Liverpool). Thirdly, that Keiran Richardson does one.
Well, 1 out of 3 is certainly a done deal and has “done one” to Sunderland. I think he found his level when was on loan at West Brom and certainly never did anything in a United shirt to warrant a starting position. Also, he gave off the impression of gaining rather a big head.
It does raise some future concerns about a potential future manager going by the name of Roy Keane. When Steve Bruce bought Emile Heskey it pretty much put a nail in the coffin of him ever managing Manchester United. However, I’m told that Keiran is actually a quiet lad (unlike his cousin, Charley!) and Keane pretty much made it clear he knows what level Sunderland will be playing at this season.
“I’m well aware of what a good player and a good lad he is. He’s ready for a fresh challenge and we can provide that.”
Meanwhile, the Tevez transfer is going as fast as expected. You can read the frustration in the quote of “over-complicated”. The only group that can get anything positive out of this is Sheffield United who appear to want to appeal against the denial of the appeal for their last failed appeal. Or something equally silly. Give it a rest and get ready for next season. If you are good enough, you’ll get promoted again.
One bizarre twist was the news that Kia Joorabchian was on the run from the Brazilian authorities over money laundering.
Finally, sadder news comes in the form of the serious injury to Park which will keep him out until January and the fact that Heinze wants away. It isn’t quite a certainty that he will leave as Fergie doesn’t sound like he wants him to go, quite rightly.
“I am not too sure about that and we do not have a concrete offer but there is momentum regarding his next move, even if nothing is close right now.”
