Schalke's Neuer Still A Target For Bayern Munich, Manchester United
Mon, 02 Nov 2009
Bayern Munich and Manchester United still aim to lure goalkeeper Manuel Neuer away from Schalke 04 despite the veto of coach and sports director Felix Magath. Britain's Daily Mail said that United manager Sir Alex Ferguson "is believed to have settled on Manuel Neuer as his prime target" to replace Edwin van der Sar next season at Old Trafford once the veteran Dutchman retires.
Munich already know about Schalke's resistance to let Neuer go as they were snubbed last summer.
Magath, however, has said on several occasions that the under-21 European champion and fan icon Neuer is the only Schalke player not for sale, despite Schalke's big financial problems.

Although Bayern have actually made an even worse start to the season under Van Gaal, Beckenbauer believes no comparison can be made between the two. "We just need to leave Van Gaal in peace and give him faith and then things will work,'' Beckenbauer said. According to Beckenbauer, the same situation with Klinsmann will not present itself again towards the end of the current season. "Van Gaal has not been able to do everything he wanted so far, but nothing is lost yet. I am convinced that when the squad is fully fit again, we will also win our games.'' he told the Hamburger Morgenpost newspaper. | Jones Needs More Surgery, U.S. Hopes In Doubt Thursday, 8 October 2009

Quote Of The Week
"It`s a great honour for me to be voted as winner of the Ballon d`Or and to become the first Argentine in history to receive this award, I knew I was among the favourites, because Barca have had a prolific year and we won everything, but I didn`t expect to win it by such an important margin. The Ballon d`Or is something very important for me. All those who won it were great players and some great players never won it."

Did You Know
Alessandro Del Piero has captained Italy seven times (including the world cup in 2006 and Euro 2008). He also regularly wore the number 10, but later gave it to Francesco Totti and switched to the number 7, as it was the first number he wore at the start of his career. Even though the number 10 was vacated after Totti retired from the national team in July 2007, Del Piero denied any interest in taking back the number, saying he was satisfied with the number 7. On May he was recalled by popular demand to Italy`s UEFA Euro 2008 squad after nine-month absence from international duty, and thus became the second Italian player to participate in 7 major international tournaments (EURO 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008; World Cup 1998, 2002, 2006).
