I read once an interview with Buffon... they ask him about the possibility of him movimg to Chelsea... and he answers:

Me in the EPL! goals scored there look like the ones scored in training sessions in italy, I will certinly retire before playing for any EPL side....

Sorry for all the EPL follower but I think it was a classy reply by Gigi...

by the way , why do u (man u fans ) hate glazer ? and what will happen if he took over ?
The exact details escape me, but he plans to borrow heavily to buy the club, sell Old Trafford, lease it back, and run the club into the ground squeezing every cent he can out of it. He's no football fan - just a particularly unpleasant greedy investor. Imagine the same thing happening to Juve, and I think you'll understand why they're worried.

The board have already released details of his very 1st bid, almost 2 years ago. It would leave the club in heavy debt with banks who are funding the takeover, and the money would be insured against future ticket sales, meaning ticket prices would increase! and less money would be spend on the footballing side, he is a merely viper trying to drain money from the club!

i thought it was somthing like ibramovic , funding the club
The thing is that Glazer has nothing compared to Abramovich's finacial capabilities, and also we are not Chelsea, we are proud that Man Utd is a club for the people, not a rich man's toy!

Glazer only wants to take over Man United to make money. He is not a real football fan, only a fan of American football who wants to tap into the world's game to make himself richer. He will buy Man United, and make sure the club is run to only make profits. I could care less because I am not a big fan of that club, however it would not really be good for football.

That's nothing we didn't already know Nicole. While I reckon I've seen most of the Arsenal squad dive at one point or other (I remember Jeffers, while still there, diving when the nearest player was Ljungberg - a good five yards away), I've also watched RvN, Ronaldo and Rooney at it regularly enough, while Duff and Robbin are both prone to falling like a sack of potatoes whenever the oppertunity presents itself. Heck, even Shearer and St. Michael of Owen have done it on occasion.
