If Fergie does get the full amount I'm thinking Lampard and Essien from Chelsea, Torres from Liverpool and from Arsenal....from Arsenal....

Erm....

Just reading Cantona's wikipedia page. Punching team mates, kicking the ball into the crowd, ripping off his shirt when subbed, insulting his national team coach on TV, throwing his boots in a team mates face, throwing the ball at a ref, calling members of the disciplinary committee idiots.

That's even before he got himself sent off and decided to attack a fan who was abusing him as he trudged off the field.

He had as much class as Joey Barton. And if he hadn't been made by Manchester United, he'd have been regarded as being just as bad as him.

yes genius's are flawed but mentioning cantona's name in the same breath as gob$hite barton's is like comparing titus bramble with paolo maldini

No, he signed a deal for 2? years with the option of another at the end IIRC

Pretty sure it was just an improvement on salary with the option of another year, when he signed he signed a 5 year deal, so I guess he signed a 3 year deal with the option of 4.

The agreement, however, emphatically confirms Torres' commitment to Liverpool and ensures Benítez has long-term assurances over his major assets and the spine of the team.'

I think they'll sign, I'm sure I read that we've just refinanced the loans, so I guess they'll all sign now. I think Rafa would rather see his current key players re-sign, than have to sell others to raise funds etc.

Rafa has said we have money, so I'm sure they'll all re-sign, Torres without doubt above all.

Lets be honest. We refused point blank to sell you Heinze *cough* judas *cough*, you would do the same with Torres and us, plus unlike Judas, he won't want to travel along the M62 to join his club's biggest rivals IMO.
