    Real Madrid wants Teves for a huge amount, which could set the dominoes falling http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2010/06/28/1999973/real-madrid-plan-40m-swoop-for-manchester-city-superstar

    You do understand Manchester United and Manchester City are not the same club, right?

    A sign that the position could be open. Perhaps Landon is a cheaper 'Wal Mart' or 'Target' alternative to Teves?

    If anybody associated with Citeh thinks Donovan can fill the gap left by Tevez ... well, they'll be showing why the Red Devils are the most famous team from Manchester.

    Am I an idiot, or is Donovan a midfielder, not a striker?

    If I was paying $12 million transfer plus more millions in salary and replacing a $80 million dollar international superstar, I would like to see if had the stones to be a true world class finisher against top talent.

    He'll only know that if one of the links he puts up (usually improperly) tells him so. :D

    that's a fair challenge. damn that the US Supreme Court has put the fair use clause at about 100 words or so

    Articles have said he could double his salary. While good for him, it's not really a mega payday in the world of sports. MLS would benefit more from the deal.
