Ribery is over-rated.

[Killy]

I really hope Fergie doesn't throw away £40+ million on Franck Ribery, the guy is so over-rated IMO.

He plays in a inferior league to the Premiership & anyone with half the talent of a Championship striker would shine head & shoulders above anyone else in the German league.

I'm a bit gutted about us missing out on Benzema but i'd be totally pi$$ed off if United put in a "knee-jerk" bid for Ribery.

I hoping Fergie will eat a bit of humble pie & maybe go back with a better offer for Tevez.

Tevez is gone so forget about him. Im guessing you havent seen much of Ribery actually playing, since all you can come up with is that he plays in an inferior league. We know that but the fact remains he is one of the best wingers on the planet. After Ronaldo and Messi he is up there as the best winger in the world. Even if it costs us 40+million we should try and get him....Anyway, he has said he doesnt want to join us so I guess you will have nothing to worry about.

[Revanth]

tevez is gone and after the disrespect he has shown the club and the manager in his recent interviews, i dont want him at the club anymore

"anyone with half the talent of a Championship striker would shine head & shoulders above anyone else in the German league."

thats a shockingly ridiculous statement.

he is a fantastic player and worth £40 million imo

I'd just like to point out that Benzema plays in a similar league to Ribery's,
according to UEFA coefficients and according to me as well.

[Justice]

Oh god abo.

I lol'd so hard.

Also, shut up killy, Tevez isn't a good football player and I've said that all season, I was never one of the fanboys singing Argentina while Tevez disrespects Ferguson.

Fair play on the Ribery point though, 25mil player.

"It's Real or it's nothing" - Ribery.

I think we don't have to worry about Ribery as he wants to go to Real Madrid, him coming to United is impossible anyway, he has made his mind up and there is nothing United can do about it, i don't think though that he is overated, he is a good talented footballer.

[Carlo]

If we could get Ribery for 40-50mill I'd be delighted. Don't know where you get that he's overrated.
Abo that picture is hilarious

[aggrounited]

Not over-rated but over-priced and he doesn't wanna come here so he can really stick it up at Madrid

[LW1]

Ribery is a class player but the price is too high, he's not worth £40+ million. Maybe if he was in his early 20's or he had huge commercial value but thats not the case. £30m tops.

[Lucky7]

Ribery is a great player but he wants Madrid .

Well, Ribbery has skill, he tracks back and powers forward, and does turn his man inside out. He travelled well in Europe for playing time that he wasn't able to get juch elsewhere.

We've got Valencia, who with a better team around him should have a great effect on the team. Val; tracks back and powers forward and turns his man inside out.. And Valencia doesn't lose the ball easily - unlike Ronaldo.

Ronaldo's 3rd season he got 23goals and improved from there, now Nani is here in his 3rd season, he i expect to have a big impact in his own way, and Valencia, who is now well rehearsed in the premier league, should have a growing influence on team affairs..

With M.Owen to put the balls away, who is different to Roo/Berbs we should have a pretty potent attack, and could really have a higher ratio of chances:goals.
