The same reason why Michael Rasmussen's a dolt.What's wrong with Ferdinand?
That is fantastic
AWTA.Silvestre to join Arsenal from Man Utd this week apparently, dubious.
Apparently Silvestre is a free agent, only realised this morning that he was released by Man Utd at the end of last season. Which makes this potential deal not the worst thing in the world, as he is free he could be a reasonable buy (fingers crossed), wouldn't be happy if Arsenal shelled out a lot of money for him, but on a free....hopefully could turn out ok. But my opinion of him throughout his Man Utd career was that most of the time he was solid enough without ever being really good, but prone to bouts of being extremely dodgy...AWTA.
SAF was quoted last season as saying they are not in the business of selling their players to their rivals, with the whole Gabriel Heinze saga.
I'll be the first to admit I had no idea he was given the arse by MU. A 31 year old defender, so you will get max. 2 good years out of him.Apparently Silvestre is a free agent, only realised this morning that he was released by Man Utd at the end of last season.

Yeah, the fact that they heaped out **** loads of cash on their new stadium and tyhen failed to qualify for the champions league means that they are really in dire straits, surprised they have managed to keep as many players as they have tbh.It's not him, it's Valencia. They kept both Silva and Villa, and even gave Silva a fat contract which probably has a huge bonus. They're screwed financially.
It will be the making of him. Rovers have form for turning talented players careers around (see Benni, Roquel...).Saw a story on the BBC that Joaquin might be available for around £9m and Blackburn being one of the teams that are interested. I never knew he went down hill that quickly!
In FM08 he moves to Arsenal for £27m.
