Ferguson sets his sights on France
Thursday, April 23, 1998
Alex Ferguson is determined to be one of football's big spenders after
losing patience with a Manchester United squad which could end the season
without a major trophy.
Ferguson, who is poised to pay £9million for PSV Eindhoven's Jaap Stam, will
not stop there when he splashes out a world record fee for a defender.
He has made a firm inquiry for Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero and has
a number of emerging players currently operating in the French League under
constant review.
The United boss has followed up favourable scouting reports on two players
from Lens, who are sitting proudly on top of the League. Cameroon defender
Marc-Vivien Foe, who can also play in midfield, and versatile Frenchman
Frederic Dehu have been the subject of his considerable interest. It is
believed that United are weighing up bids for either or both players, who
would have a joint value of around £8m.
Lens are reluctant to part with two of their brightest stars but would find
it difficult to resist big bids. United have been joined in regular spying
missions by representatives from other Premiership sides like Aston Villa,
Blackburn and Southampton.
Ferguson is also interested in Monaco's outstanding defender Martin Djetou
as he looks to freshen up his squad which has dropped below the exacting
standards set over the past few seasons.
He has a substantial transfer fund at his disposal and is able to operate
with this cash windfall at the top end of the market without the
interference of the plc, which has left him frustrated on occasions in the
past.
That is why Del Piero has become a realistic target. Juventus have quoted
United a fee of £25m and although they have no intention of paying that,
they will continue to register their interest in the belief that the fee
will eventually come down to around £15m.
Stam believes that United's £9m bid will prove successful and said: 'I am
not even thinking of the possibility of going anywhere else. Manchester
United are the only club I want to play for. It would be my dream move.
'I think everything will work out. My message to the United fans is that I
will see them soon. I have spoken with Dennis Bergkamp and Marc Overmars
when I have been with Holland. They have told me all about life in England
and what it is like in the Premiership. They have said what a great club
Manchester United are.
'I have won everything there is to to win with PSV and now I want to move on
still further. I know that moving to England would suit my game. I can't
wait.'

UNITED STUNNED BY £25m DEL PIERO
By Alan Nixon and Jon Culley of The Independent
Manchester United have swiftly aborted an ambitious move for the
world-class Juventus striker, Alessandro Del Piero.
United's chief executive, Martin Edwards, has made an inquiry about the
Italian international, who is the leading scorer in the European Cup this
season.
However, officials of the Turin club promptly quoted a staggering £25m fee
- and that is before Del Piero's wage demands
Del Piero would only come to England for around £5m a year.
Over a five-year contract, that adds a further £25m to the bill with no
sell-on value at the end.
A £50m investment in one player, even one of the best in the world, is too
much for even United to contemplate.
The Old Trafford manager, Alex Ferguson, has a transfer kitty approaching
£20m for summer buys.
He is keen on the Argentinian playmaker, Ariel Ortega, who played against
the Republic of Ireland last night.
Ortega wants to leave his Spanish club, Valencia, and would cost around £5m.

Subject: Reserves v Everton
I had a very enjoyable evening yesterday, watching the Reserves beat
Everton reserves by 7 - 0! A wonderful game with some wonderful football
and watched in the company of our esteemed list administrator DA, Gerry who
came over with DA and our very own Pete H. Ole was at his best, scoring
goals for fun but also impressive was Jordi Cruyff (contrary to what some
believe, I do give credit where its due!), Brian McClair (I'm not biased -
he had a good game!), Michael Twiss and Danny Higginbotham.
Five of the goals came in the first half, with Choccy getting the first
one. It was soon followed by Ole's first, which came from a ball from
Twiss off a header from Choccy. Choccy was again involved in the third
(and Ole's second) and then Twiss himself scored the fourth. Cruyff
turned provider for Ole for the fifth goal, giving Ole a hat-trick. 5-0
was the half-time score.
The half-time break saw us entertained by some excellent football from the
finalists in the Manchester United Football in the Community schools
six-a-side competition. The final involved a team from a Manchester school
and one from a Salford school, so there was some good-natured rivalry in
our part of the ground! Unfortunately, the Salford lads didn't quite
manage to get their equaliser and the Manchester lads ran out winners by
1-0. This was the cue for wild celebrations on the pitch, whilst one sad
little lad from Salford (who had been dubbed Paul Scholes because of his
red hair) cried his eyes out!
The second half brought another couple of goals. The first scored (again!)
by Ole from a header from Cruyff. The final goal was the best of the night
(so I'm told - I looked away for a second and missed it!), as Thornley hit
a scorching ball into the net, on the volley.
So it finished 7-0 after a very good evening's entertainment. Hopefully,
the first team can do something similar on Monday. We said goodbye to DA,
very sad to see him leave us again. Hopefully it won't be long before we
see him again and in the meantime I wish DA, Kathy and Gerry a very safe
and enjoyable journey home.
