Man Utd capture Kuszczak on loan
Tomasz Kuszczak
Kuszczak's immediate future has finally been settled
Manchester United have signed Polish goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak on a season-long loan from West Brom, with a view to a possible permanent move.

In exchange, the Baggies will get defender Paul McShane and goalkeeper Luke Steele on a permanent basis.

Kuszczak, 24, will act as understudy to United's first-choice goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, with youngster Ben Foster staying a second season at Watford.

Kuszczak can stake a claim to be United number one when Van der Sar retires.

The Dutchman is expected to call time on his own career after Euro 2008.

Kuszczak, who has won four caps for Poland, spent three years in Germany with Hertha Berlin before arriving at West Brom two years ago.

Sir Alex Ferguson's attempts to land the keeper had been frustrated throughout the summer, with an initial £2.5m bid rejected.

But with Kuszczak now at Old Trafford, Foster getting Premiership experience with Watford and Tim Howard on loan at Everton, United are hopeful they have enough strength in the goalkeeping department to maintain healthy competition for the next five years at least.

The transfer of Steele is unlikely to go down well with Coventry, who signed the youngster on loan from United.

But the player was recalled, then immediately sold to one of their local Coca-Cola Championship rivals.

Beckham has not been selected for the English squad. He says he understands.

The Dutch squad will not have van Nistelrooij and van Bommel in it. Well if that was the problem on the world cup van Basten will have to do a whole lot better now. This dude is starting to get annoying.

Agreed. I love that kit too - for some reason it always reminds me of Jamie Redknapp.

The only thing with the new Euro kit is that it needs the shorts for full effect.

Well I just got home from watching Barcelona beating NY Red Bulls 4-1, I had a really great time there, 80 thousand fucking people!!! at the stadium which proves to me that if there was a more competitive league here in the states people would support it, They need to bring younger players instead of veterans well past their primes like Djorkaeff(btw he scored the lonely Red Bull goal).
But speaking of the game Ronaldinho was the star as usual scoring two goals and delighting the crowd showing off his amazing skills, every time he touched the ball, all the kids would start screaming like crazy. But imo the more impressive was Messi, he came on for the 2nd half and fucking destroyed Red Bull's defense every time he tried to, scored a goal and served one for Ronaldinho and another one for Saviola. Messi is only 19 so I could only imagine what this guy would be at 25... Thuram and Zambrotta made their debuts also.
I know Red Bulls isn't the greatest oposition for Barca but honestly I can't see a team in Europe better than them right now.
Well overall it was a great footbal night that be hard to forget, the only thing that sucked was sitting on the car for fucking 2 hours trying to cross from Manhattan to New Jersey, totally ridiculous that a city like New York doesn't have its own stadium, but well thats another story I guess....

hmm maybe it reminds you of Redknapp cos he gave away that penalty at Old Trafford in that kit on Cantona's return haha!
that kit too reminds me of the Spice boys and the great goals Fowler scored in that kit..me faves being those at Old Trafford on Cantona's return.
I still wear that kit alot today...got McManaman 17 printed on it cos Fowler 23 was sold out then lol
despite not winning anything major..that era of Liverpool was pretty memorable.

argh i cannot wait for today's game!!!
am going for a 1-0 win to the Reds with Crouchie scoring the winner

COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!
