we're not gambling, if he injures himself he doesn't get paid and if he scores he's not on much

Its not that. Just makes Owen Look like he is a World class striker if UTD are interested, when he isn't anything close. Just adds to his ego problems.

Hopefully Michael Owen won't turn out to be the "Robbie Keane" of Liverpool. Only to play a hand full of games and return back to his old club.

United agree terms for striker

Manchester United and Molde F.K. are pleased to announce that they have agreed terms for the transfer of Mame Biram Diouf.

The 21 year-old striker is to attend a medical in Manchester next week with a view to joining the club in January. Until that time he will remain with Molde F.K. on loan.

Speaking at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur earlier today, Sir Alex Ferguson said: "We’ve been looking at him for two years.

"We weren't intending on signing anyone else after [Gabriel Obertan] last week - we feel we have a full squad - but the situation accelerated to a point where other clubs started to make bids, so we had a decision to make.

"We decided to act now and he’ll be the last person we sign this summer."

To date, Diouf has scored 38 times in 73 appearances for Norwegian side Molde, the same club from which United signed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as a virtual unknown in 1996.

Diouf's impressive tally of 17 goals from 21 games so far this season includes a hat-trick in the first nine minutes of last Sunday's league match against Brann. He added a fourth strike, in the 27th minute, as Molde marched on to a resounding 5-2 victory.

A fellow countryman of several UK-based players including Blackburn's El Hadji Diouf and Portsmouth's Papa Bouba Diop, Mame Biram Diouf has represented his native Senegal at youth, Under-21 and Olympic (Under-23) level.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has slammed Manchester City over a poster campaign in the city, claiming they are "arrogant".


PAPhotos/Soccernet

The poster in all its glory

It is part of a long-running tactic from City fans to emphasise that they play in Manchester, while United's ground is actually in the borough of Trafford. No one has admitted responsibility for the poster.

The poster has got Sir Alex riled, who feels they have taken it too far. But he was quick to point out that City are only doing it as they feel inferior to the Red Devils.

The huge poster was erected at the bottom of Deansgate, which just so happens to be one of Manchester's busiest shopping areas. The poster reads: "Carlos Tevez, welcome to Manchester."

It is clearly meant to cause a reaction from United fans, who were desperate for Tevez to remain at Old Trafford after spending two years on loan at the Premier League champions.

There is also a spoof email which shows Michael Owen on crutches with the slogan "Welcome to Stretford".

''It is like one of those war adverts - Your Country Needs You,'' said Sir Alex. ''Arrogance comes in lots of different ways. I think it is daft.''

City have expressed similar sentiments on official merchandise in the past. 'This is our City', 'Greater Manchester' and 'Pure Manchester' were all the brainchild of advertising agency Grey London and depict City's pride in their roots.

''They were having a go at Manchester United,'' he said. ''They have had a problem ever since I came down here - Manchester United.

''You have to understand, when they get their moment to grasp for and to seize for, they are going to take it.''

Ferguson and United accusing someone else of arrogance?

Now I've heard it all!

Really though, Ferguson is extremely thin skinned and insecure. Why the f**k should he care or even comment if some stupid poster is in Manchester?

Is he now that insecure and threatened by City's potential in the coming years that he has to overreact to such things?

Because it makes no sense otherwise for him to carry on over somthing so trivial and insignificant.

He knows he manages the champions and his team will be better than City's this year so why does he bother wasting his time and accusing others of arrogance when he has been one of the most arrogant people in English Football for decades?
