United is pleased to announce it has reached an agreement with Partizan Belgrade and the players for Zoran Tosic and Adem Ljajic to join the club.
Tosic, 21, will sign with immediate effect and wear the no.14 shirt, while an agreement is in place for 17-year-old striker Ljajic to remain with Partizan for the rest of 2009.
A press conference will be held next week, once the necessary paperwork has been filed with the relevant football authorities.
Sir Alex Ferguson gave his reaction to the signings at his Friday press conference and also confirmed United will not to be doing any more transfer business in January.
"Tosic joins us immediately, his work permit is through; Ljajic will join us next year, " revealed the boss. "Tosic is a young wide left player. We like wide players at this club.
"We've been watching him for over a year. Our scout in that area has been telling us about him for quite a while. He's now a regular in the Serbian national team. Hopefully he does well.
"We'll give him time. He's not played since December 10 so he'll need time to adjust and get used to the tempo of our game and also the training.
"That's the end of the transfer business for Manchester United this season. There definitely won't be anything else in January."
Thanks God, its over finally! I am very happy with this!
In my oppinion, United still need a good mid-defender + a midfielder.
My vote goes Veloso or Moutinho from sporting... (I prefer Moutinho, but
Veloso looks better now coz Hargreaves is like a half dead now, so better if someone can play both) + Zapata maybe

I dont think Barca will sign anyone
I dont think Chelsea will sign anyone
And Real is still a graveyard for players, and now they stole my
favorite striker (Huntelaar) so they can fuck off more than they
did in the past. End.
barca will sign aguero
don't know about chelsea yet :P ( also arbramovic is planing to sell chelsea?)
was really surprised @ beckham's move to milan btw xD
Barca wont sign Agüero imo. Abra wont sell Chelsea imo.
Milan now can sell Beckham shirts, not just Kaka's.
its confirmed aguero will move for 55M ^^
and more $ for milan :d
12 million is half the money we need for ribery. I saw 10 million touted for Alex, sell them both buy ribery, sounds simple really?
but i hardly doubt bayern would let him leave, they need him way too much, when he was missing the first games of this season bayern wasnt able to go anywhere (rank 13 or smth after the first few games), since ribery is back he is just owning everything and bayern started a big winning series mostly cuz of ribery!
oh and bayern have enough money, they are not in need to sell him
ps: i am a bayern hater normally kk?!
no chance i'd say :D
He is the only reason Bayern is starting to dominate again.
ballack, lampard, deco, mikel etc = center
That guy is beyond awful.
Btw read my reaction to trevize for my opinion.
And belgian football is already declining for 6 years. Ok, it's not that bad as hungarian football but we aren't that far away from it anymore at this pace. No WC or EC since 2002, not even a belgian team survived the winter break and it's getting worse and worse every year. Our teams got kicked out by teams of ukraine, denmark, georgia while 5 years ago all our teams easily won vs them. But I still support them above those big teams from Spain or England because I'm connected with them.
In the CL I also enjoy watching good teams but I'm not gonna support them like my own team, they already have too much money, fans, etc...
It's just... everyone supports only teams like ManU, Real Madrid, AC Milan just because they are successful. And if u see the same teams again and again it's getting boring. The best year in CL for me was when Monaco played against Porto in 2003 because they surprised everyone and that's what it's all about, suprises.
U actually have no relation whatsoever with ManU but only support it because it's succesful. People like u just support the best teams and make the teams only better and better till there is no more competition anymore. I hate people like u (nothing personal) only for this because it will kill football. It is already dying actually if u just look at the CL and premier league with always the same teams on top.
btw: I didn't say that u had to watch your team play, for a lot of people it's not possible + only a small number of fans can actually enter the stadium.
End of the conversation since u have some good points, but most
of them is just conservative ideas.
It's not really conservative actually. I want to keep football a fair sport which keeps its unpredictibility which makes it such a great sport.
