But on Setanta they showed the whole competition and not just all of the big teams eaither. I'm pretty sure Tranmere featured on there once or twice. Wouldn't mind if ESPN picked up German football, I seem to enjoy it a fair bit. Don't care about Ligue 1 or the Russian Premier League (the standard of some of the teams were Championship level IMO).

He's certainly not a one season wonder, FTB is probably accurate though.

If they go for Benzema, Carlos will go. He's still pissy at being 3rd choice behind Rooney and Berbatov, he's not going to happily sit behind Benzema as well.

Wow 
We are a bit behind in Australia when it comes to buying football magazines in the newsagents (unless you have your own subscription) and I saw the letest edition of World Soccer and it said something about Karim Benzema stating that he did not want to leave Lyon before the 2010 World Cup and that Lyon have put a massive price tag on his head (that and from what I read his form was off in the recent Ligue 1 season). It is a load of bull, if a fee is agreed to with Lyon and it is a club in Spain or England, hewill sign for them. I would be shocked if Benzema turned down say Manchester United to stay with Lyon for another season.

Seriously mixed feelings today – love or loathe him, Ronaldo was a magnificent player for United, particularly over the past three seasons. I didn’t want him to leave and while it seemed inevitable that he would one day I did think he’d give us at least another season or two, or stay as long as Fergie did.
That being said, £80 million is dead set insane money and his value will only decrease from now on as he’s moving into the third year of a five-year contract and there was no way he was signing another one. If all or most of that £80 million is given to Fergie then it could be exciting times for the club, particularly on top of the kitty we’ve already got plus other sales (Campbell, Manucho, Simpson, a couple of others).
The downside of course is that clubs will now know we’ve got that money to spend and will probably add a few million to their asking price – Bayern have today said that they won’t let Ribery go for less than £65 million, which is even more insane than the Ronaldo money. And regardless of price, neither Benzema nor Villa seem to want to come to England. Valencia is looking a sure thing now though, though also seemingly overpriced at £16 million.
An interesting summer ahead, methinks.
