"Madrid announced the transfer in a statement on its Web site on Thursday, saying Van Nistelrooy will be presented at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Friday following a routine medical examination."

"Van Nistelrooy will be Madrid's third acquisition since Ramon Calderon won the club's presidential election on July 3. Fabio Cannavaro and Emerson arrived earlier this week from Italian club Juventus."

Ruud van Nistelrooy has been given the go-ahead to undergo a medical with Real Madrid.

Reports on Thursday evening had suggested that a deal to take the striker to Spain had been sealed. However, a club statement has confirmed that these reports are premature.

A club spokeswoman told ManUtd.com: "Manchester United give permission for Ruud van Nistelrooy to travel to Real Madrid for a medical.

"However, terms of agreement are yet to be finalised between the two clubs."

So that means RVN WILL leave United :unsure:

Thats a terrible news for me :no: I was happy with the fact that United was not going to sell RVN for cheap, but now it looks certain that he will leave.

Anyways another news is out:

Carrick close to Man Utd switch

Manchester United are set to successfully conclude their pursuit of Spurs' Michael Carrick after selling Ruud van Nistelrooy to Real Madrid.

Boss Sir Alex Ferguson is poised to seal a reported ?15m deal for England midfield man Carrick after raking in ?10.3m for striker Van Nistelrooy.

Spurs are expected to confirm Carrick's departure for United on Friday.

United made a bid of ?10m for Carrick, 25, during the World Cup, but Spurs have driven a hard bargain.

And the sale represents a massive profit for Spurs, who signed Carrick from West Ham United for ?2.75m two years ago.

Carrick has not featured in either of Spurs' pre-season friendlies this week against Stevenage Borough or Bishop's Stortford as United waited in the wings.

The midfielder has won seven England caps, making his debut when coming on as a substitute against Mexico in 2001.

He was part of England's World Cup squad but made just one appearance in Germany, in the 1-0 win over Ecuador in the first game of the knockout stages.

Carrick had two years left on his deal at White Hart Lane, but had rejected a new contract offer in the wake of United's persistent interest.

Spurs boss Martin Jol's determination to hold out for a fee which closely matched their ?20m valuation of the player has given them more transfer cash to spend.

He has already signed 22-year-old Benoit Assou-Ekotto from Lens and spent ?10.9m on Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov but missed out on Chelsea's left-winger Damien Duff.

The summer signing of Ivory Coast international Didier Zokora will make Carrick's departure somewhat less painful for Jol, who can now continue his search for a left-sided midfielder in earnest.

Carrick will become United's fifth most expensive signing behind Rio Ferdinand, Juan Sebastian Veron, Wayne Rooney and Van Nistelrooy.

United visit Amsterdam next week where they are due to play both Porto and Ajax and Carrick is expected to be part of the squad.

Real Madrid have unveiled Ruud van Nistelrooy as their latest signing.

The Dutchman has signed a three-year deal at El Santiago Bernabeu after leaving Manchester United.

Van Nistelrooy was given permission to hold talks with Real on Thursday after the Spanish giants agreed a fee in the region of ?10 million for the Dutch international.

The former PSV Eindhoven hit-man tied up the move earlier on Friday after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.

Real beat Bayern Munich in the race to sign van Nistelrooy and the Dutchman admitted it was an honour to join the Spanish titans.

"This move means everything to me," said van Nistelrooy.

"It's a great honour to stand here in the Bernabeu and it is a dream come true.

"Real Madrid is a great club; it's got history, the greatest players ever have played here, so it's a great honour on my side.

"I want to thank everybody for the confidence and belief they have shown in me and I will do everything in my ability to pay them back.

"I am very very happy, thank you all."

Only 10 million for Van Nistlerooy? What a snip for Real, and how will Manure cope without him?!?

United have also agreed a fee for Michael Carrick, which is thought to be in the region of 17 million. This just get's better and better, because Carrick is not worth 17 million, I mean Carrick is not half the player that Xabi Alonso is and he only cost Liverpool 10.5 million! Spurs will be laughing all the way to the bank as they already have his replacement in Didier Zokora!

:rofl::

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
