Arrivals and Departures

Shifting the focus now on the footballing world..

Carlos Tevez is leaving Manchester United and possibly to local rivals Manchester City.. I wished he did stay at MU, he was quite a player, not the best but his determination, personality and work rate is just amazing.. And I was certain that with Ronaldo's departure, he would stay since the opportunity for him in the first team will like brighten up.. Alas, although MU was willing to meet the £25.5 million needed to secure his services as well as making him one of the highest paid players in MU, Tevez has other plans of his own..

So what now? Ronaldo gone (never gonna miss him one bit) and now Tevez.. Suddenly it looks like everything is going from bad to worse for MU.. Their two key players over the last two seasons suddenly disappear.. Have no fear, Alex Ferguson is here.. I'm sure he'll do some nice purchases during the summer.. There are talks that a £30 million bid was put up front for Karim Benzema.. Not to mention the £17 million for Antonio Valencia and also possibly Ribery.. Marcel Desailly has urged Fergie to bid "as much as it takes" to purchase Ribery.. The former French international has put him as the top two wingers in the world, the other being, you guessed it, Ronaldo..

The summer transfer rumours has been buzzing a lot (I'm just talking about MU).. Here are a list of potential arrivals and departures.. (some sound pretty bizzare if u ask me)

Arrivals:
Iker Casillas
Ashley Young
Douglas Costa
Fernando Torres
Sergio Aguero
Samuel Eto'o
David Silva
Arjen Robben
David Villa
Joao Moutinho
and the 3 stated above - Antonio Valencia, Frank Ribery and Karim Benzema

Departures:
Nemanja Vidic
Nani
Fraizer Campbell
Darron Gibson
Danny Simpson
Gary Neville
Paul Scholes
and of course the two who already have left - Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez

Gotta agree with me, some do look ridicolous.. Oh well, they still be 2 months of buzzling activity especially when the window opens in July.. Let's just keep a close watch and see what happens.. =p
