Hey moderator, may i to be also the editor too as well may I?
I have a good language to use ?
I also having some news:
this is to be put in the latest news section:

STEVE McMANAMAN confirmed the worst fears of his Liverpool employers last night by admitting that he has signed a transfer agreement with Real Madrid which will earn him around ý14 million over the next five years.

Liverpool, having groomed McManaman from raw schoolboy to international stardom, will get nothing for their efforts except the bitter realisation that they are the latest victims of the freedom of contract rulings which resulted from legal action instigated by the moderate Belgian footballer Jean-Marc Bosman.

McManaman's departure from Merseyside is no surprise. He had been threatening to leave when his contract expires next summer but Liverpool, having secured the services of his closest friend, Robbie Fowler, for a further three years only five days ago, were hopeful that the England winger could be persuaded to stay.

The opportunity to join one of the world's most famous clubs and guarantee financial security for life understandably proved irresistible to McManaman, who will be 27 in two weeks' time. "I'm really looking forward to it," he enthused.

"I'm extremely sad to be leaving Liverpool," he said. "It was such a tough decision because I've been here 12 years but I've always stated that I wanted to play in Europe at some stage. Now is the right time. This is a chance to test myself in a top European league.

"I chose Real Madrid above the other top European clubs that came in for me because I've always thought they were an excellent club," he said, warning that the deal has not yet been concluded. He still needs to pass a medical test, which probably will take place on Monday.

Due to move on July 1 for a salary of about ý50,000 a week, he added: "I'm ambitious to win things as a player and the fact that they were European champions last year was a persuasive factor because I knew I was joining a really good club. Although I've been to Spain loads of times I've never visited the club, but a lot of people spoke very highly of the set-up there to me."
