On the day dominated by hard and mad transfer activity the headlines will surely be no different. We might have found the odd news snippet outside Nani, Hargreaves and Anderson, but there isn’t much else other than these to write about.
We have discussed the transfer deals in detail here and here. Go ahead and read them for the detail.
For the low attention span people, here is the roundup of United’s news headlines for the day.

The BBC’s brought up this breaking news when I saw it confirming the expected.
Owen Hargreaves has confirmed his move to Old Trafford after having passed his medical and having agreed personal terms. He will arrive in July 1 and has to only sign the contract which is reported to be a five year deal.
Alright, finally! Now breathe easy.
Ed: Someone tell Ferguson that the transfer deadline is 31st August, not 31st May…

I just came back from an argument with my landlord. It was a problem with my apartment’s internet. As it happens, I was out of the loop for just a day and what a day it has been.
DAMN! So much has happened. And I thought the summer was going to be boring.
Well anyway, Nani - dubbed the next Ronaldo - and Anderson - dubbed the next Ronaldinho are coming to OT. So let’s see what this means to our team composition next season.

Back to the roundup of the day where we go around feeding off scraps from newspapers and rags alike. Although we avoid the rags. (even though we secretly like some of them… you know, guilty pleasures)
Anyway, here are the some of the news stories of the day…

Apologize for the lack of activity the last day and a half from the promised third part of the season review series. Was busy apartment shifting. Anyway, now that I am well settled in my new abode with a coffee by the side and a laptop in front let me quickly get this review series done with once and for all.
Today we will take a look at our vast array of attacking talent that made the big difference to our season. We will take a look at our wingers, both the good and the bad ones, and our strikers. We will also dwell a bit on our team play, formations and players we may have skipped earlier.

Good morning people, depending on where you are. Another day to get by, but I assure you, there is at least one piece of news worth talking about for a United fan. Other than that there wouldn’t be much coming your way today.
So here we go with our daily round up…
May 26 2007
While my superstitious self can now almost safely assume that Owen Hargreaves is indeed coming over to Old Trafford, some bookies have already gone to the extent of putting odds of him becoming the player of the season 2007/08 at 50/1.
The question however, is how he will feature in the team next season.

We have been rather quiet on the news front. You can’t really blame us for that. We can talk about only what is reported in the media. Although if you do in fact get to know something fresh and hot worth talking about you could tip us off using the contact form provided. Make sure you let us know the source so that we’re sure if it is reasonably authentic. We’ll gladly report that bit of news giving you due credit.
But as things stand now, here’s the little that’s come up over the last couple of days.

This is in continuation of our series (not yet decided on the number of parts in it) where we review the 2006-07 season and players’ performance. Good to see your responses for the first part. I do admit, Wes Brown somehow slipped my fingers although it was in my mind. Anyway I added my view on his performance in Part I. Do read it and get back to this.
Today we will be taking a look at the midfield. The center of the park, also dubbed the ‘Engine room’. While we will be taking a look at our central midfielders, we’ll review our wingers along with the strikers in the next part, so hang on.
