Zoran Tosic
I don’t believe either, but B92 (pretty serious TV station, probably the most serious one at Balkan) just announced that Manchester United just bought Partizan 21 years old winger Zoran Tosic, for 3.5M Eur. Zoran Tosic already earned a couple of caps for Serbia. The European scouts could see him for the first time at 2007 U21 EURO at Belgium, where Serbia reached final and where he had a couple of solid displayes. That summer he was transferred from Banat Zrenjanin to Partizan, where he played in 57 matches, scoring 17 goals. In the meantime he earned 12 caps for the national team.
To be honest, even I am Manchester United fan, and one who will never ever doubt Fergies decisions, this one just can not be true. Don’t get me wrong. The kid is pretty good player, but not United class. In some Spanish mid-table club he could be good addition, but for the best team in the World (or at least one of the 5) I really doubt. He is leight-weight, pretty fast, with solid passing and excellent shot from the distance. One-on-one he is not the world class and will never be. Also, he is without any experience at the big stage. Playing for Partizan in Serbian league is not a remarkable achievement.
B92 is also saying that the part of the deal is transfer of Adem Ljajic to Manchester United, but they are saying that that is not confirmed yet. Tosic transfer is confirmed, at least they are saying that. News is saying that Ljajic will sign for United in the January, and then will be loened to some bigger stage to develop.
As I said before, I still do not believe in this stuff, but since it is B92 and since they did not publish any bullshit before, it could be true. I guess, in a couple of hours, we will see confirmation from some officials.

He is so young. He will be developed very well under Sir Alex Ferguson.
