Transfer Rumours: Jan 07
Barcelona have played down reports linked United with a surprise big-money move for Catalan midfielder Xavi Hernandez.
The Spanish international was reportedly a shock alternative transfer target to Bayern Munich and England star Owen Hargreaves.
However, a Barca spokesman told Sky Sports: "We do not know about this subject. Normally the club does not respond to stories published in the papers but we have not received any offer. Xavi is a key man for us and has signed a contract until 2010."
Bayern Munich's changeable stance on the future of Hargreaves has prompted the tabloids to focus on alternative targets for Sir Alex Ferguson, including Xavi, Bordeaux's Rio Antonio Mavuba and Blackburn's David Bentley.
The most surprising name linked with Old Trafford thus far has to be that of Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor. The News of the World claims the Togo striker will be offered a new deal to ward off United's interest.
The biggest name tipped to leave Old Trafford in the transfer window is Argentine defender Gabriel Heinze, who has apparently alerted Juventus, AC Milan and Valencia.
Heinze's mooted departure could pave the way for more tabloid rumours to bear fruit, with the arrival of 17-year-old Southampton left-back Gareth Bale. The Welsh international youngster is highly rated, with United, Liverpool, Arsenal and even Real Madrid tipped to test the Saints' resolve.
Elsewhere, Alan Smith is set to stay at Old Trafford despite being an alleged loan target for half the Premiership, while Wes Brown is also keen to remain at United.

wouldn't mind Xavi, that would be a good signing although i can't see Barca letting him go...
Hargreaves has still got to be our number one priority, i honestly believe he is the answer...
dunno why the f**k we'd be interested in Adebayor...
the Heinze situation is worrying, i'd really like to see him stay, despite the fact that Evra has been playing really well in that position, we need heavy weight options and Gabby can play anywhere across the back, be totaly gutted if he left, the idea of signing Bale is nice though...
feel a little sorry for Smithy at the moment, he needs time of the pitch to get back on top of his game, he's still got the potential to be a top class striker if he gets chance...

Lehmann was on about going, not sure now to be honest, Buffon would make a nice replacement, they were also on about Craig Gordon from Hearts.......

i dont think Buffon would go to the premiership...
i'd say milan or inter are more likely
Heinze, Mavuba, Barzagli, klose, Claudio Pizarro, Salihamidzic, Jacq Faty, Ribery
all linked with Juve
Grygera is a done deal
Riberry wants to come to Arsenal and play with his "big brother" Henry!
And Adebayor's too good for Man U and he woulsn't go there I'm sure, nor would Arsenal sell to them.

Yeah adebayor is class.
Id say the same as kanu but with more power and pace. Control is almost identical.
Both have strawberry heads aswell.:laughing:
Watching the 2000 review videk, Kanu had a surprising turn of pace back then. Of course he's probably about 40 now, they're not very accurate abot these things in Nigeria, same as Martins, he's probably in his 30's too!

exactly, liverpool shouldnt be about players doing well (by their own personal standards)
we need the best players!
We paid 7m for him I think, he's good, but arguably our worst striker!
Crouch has done pretty well, but he's just so unseemly and doesn't encourage good football... Wadn't he dropped when scoring loads though?
