Sky have published a statement by dear Carlos which covers a page and says (confirms) nothing. He does say no stars are leaving but then doesn't exactly say anyone's coming. But that's how it should be.
HOWEVER, there is rather more than I personally would like to see about the emerging youth. It's probably because we're not sending a great deal of strength to SA, but I hope it's not the start of a softening campaign to let us down lightly if no-one comes.
It's not a definite speech but it's not full of hope. It doesn't say things we want to hear even in general terms. I s'pose Ronny staying is like a new signing but Ruud? I'm sure he's off - I don't think he wants to stay and I'm sure that SAF is narked with him - so to say no-one's leaving makes me doubt anything at all coming from OT

Assistant manager Carlos Queiroz says Manchester United have no intention of selling their best players this summer.
While United supporters have to wait for the club to enter the transfer market this summer, they have had to contend with constant speculation over the futures of Ruud van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Furthermore, Gabriel Heinze has also been linked with a move to Real Madrid and, although the Argentinian has quashed this rumour, The Red Devils have jetted out to South Africa for their pre-season tour with some concerns over next term's first-team plan.
Queiroz would not openly confirm United are actively pursuing any specific transfer targets but stressed the Old Trafford outfit will not be selling their top names.
"Of course, I've been doing that every day [speaking to Ronaldo]," he told Sky Sports News. "There's no problems with that.
"No doubts. I think everybody knows during this period of the season, the press have some speculations, but we keep cool. What is important is what the players and the club are doing to be sure, next season, those players will be part of our family.
"We are doing something to improve the team, doing that all the time, regarding the players from last season, we are not ready to lose our best players.
"Of course we are doing our best to improve all the time. Not only buying players but also promoting players. In this camp, this tour, it's a great opportunity to assess those young players but, in all areas of the club, we are always working hard to improve the club and, of course, the outcome of our work."
Queiroz stressed the tour will hand opportunities to some of the younger players, even though it seems to include some players whose long-term futures may not be in Manchester.
"What is important now is to be sure everybody, the team and the squad, everybody is ready to start the new season," he explained.
"It's a compromise [the squad]. It's part of our preparation with some young players but it's important we represent Manchester.
"We need to honour the name of our club.
"It's an opportunity to assess the young players, see what we can expect from them during the season."

Was quite funny really, he was just laughing at the speculation like he'd not heard much of it, but he knew it was there.

he does say we r trying to improve the team though does he not? When asked about improving the squad all he said was something along the lines.. we are always trying to improve every area of the club especially the young talent coming through (focused on the tour). So either he's completely focused on the tour or Fergie tells him bugger all after he's made such reccomendations as Petit. |

When asked about transfers in he said "we're working at it all the time" and he sounded like there would be imminent signings but he just didn't want to give anything away.
