Bayern's determination to keep Owen right where he is now continues to prove strong, even unshakeable, but unfortunately for Uli Hoeness, Sir Alex seems to be more firm than ever on the 25-year old midfielder's transfer.

Even so, I still can't see how United are going to make this deal happen within less than 2 days, which would be considered a 'Mission Impossible' by most of us, even when we are talking about one of the most influential football clubs in the world.

Besides the Owen obstacle, Arsenal's victory in buying Tevez is definitely another blow for us.

Possessing both Thiery Henry and Carlos Tevez, Arsenal quickly became the last team any manager would want to come up against.

We don't have to try very hard to imagine what kind of pressure the boys are under right now, given that Michael is the only important deal we settled during the summer. and several key players are still banned from playing or in recovery.

A dynasty does not come back that easily.

How can we let Arsenal get Tevez?

And Owen, we could have had you if Bayern hadn't be so ridiculous.

And Trezeguet?

Anyway, we are about to face Spurs and Arsenal.

It is gonna be tough, boys.
