"Antonio is a player we have admired for some time now, having spent the last two years in the Premier League with Wigan," said Ferguson.

Valencia's transfer is reported to have cost United as much as £16m.

"I am sure his pace and ability will make a significant contribution to the team," added Ferguson.

How will Antonio Valencia do at Old Trafford

United have been in contact with Wigan over a deal for Valencia over the last "two to three months", according to Latics chairman Dave Whelan.

"I have enjoyed my time at Wigan, but I am thrilled to have the chance to challenge for the biggest honours in club football here," said Valencia, who scored three goals for Wigan last season.

"Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience. I can't wait to get started."

Lets hope he causes more disruption, as he did at Wigan when he never turned up after International Duty.

Good player, but nothing on Ronaldo is he really.

I'll be interested to see if he's used as a first team regular or a squad player.

Ye that was Zaki, and was the main reason they decided not to keep him

Burnley land Fletcher

http://www.itv.com/sport/football/news/premierleague/generalnews/burnley-land-fletcher-359496916.html

Burnley have broken their transfer record to sign Hibernian striker Steven Fletcher for £3million.

The 22-year-old, who has four Scotland caps, joins the Turf Moor club for their first Premier League campaign having scored 52 goals 190 appearances at Easter Road.

Fletcher becomes the club's second signing in a day following full-back Tyrone Mears' capture.

Fletcher has agreed a four-year contract with the Clarets, who will pay the Clydesdale Bank Premier League double their previous record fee having shelled out £1.5million for both Martin Paterson and Chris Eagles last year.

The forward was named Scottish Football Writers' Young Player of the Year in 2007-08 and attracted the interest of Celtic earlier this year.

Mears, meanwhile, has signed for around £500,000 after spending time on loan at Marseille last season.

Mears, 26, is looking for a change of luck in the top flight after a shattering experience in the 2007-08 season.

He was part of the Derby side that finished bottom of the table with an all-time low tally of 11 points.

Good player, but nothing on Ronaldo is he really.

And to think Whelan turned down a 21m offer from Madrid back in Jan.

Hate the way these cu*ts lick the crack hole of Fergie, i bet Whelan kept him just for the Manc pox.

Anyway he's not a bad player but as Ross said he's no Ronaldo.

Major transfers
Diego to Juventus from Werder Bremen for £21m
Ronaldo to Real Madrid from Man Utd for £80m
Kaka to Real Madrid from AC Milan for £57m
Glen Johnson to Liverpool from Portsmouth for £17.5m

Mods please feel free to add more to this list.

just seen that steven flecher has singed for burnley a boyhood liverpool fan from edinburgh was a trainee at liverpool should be a good singing for burnley but dont think he can keep them up

I always did like him. Another great peice of business by a promoted team- good luck to Burnley!

yeah but look at ronaldo's first season at utd, he is still young and plenty of time to improve.

Feel free to post it how you want.

Valencia is no Ronaldo, its quite obvious, but it doesnt mean he is not a good player.

No other winger score as many goals as Ronaldo, its hard to replace someone like him. But Valencia is a very good right winger, creates a lot of chances and will probably get better playing in a better side.

I feel sad to see him joining Man Utd cause he is one of my favourite players.

Feel free to post it how you want.

No, the thread was just to keep the General Footy Forum tidy. It's not meant to be very strict, just for discussion of other teams transfers in one place.
