I made this as I was going to post about the best move of the summer so far by Man Utd in signing two of the best young prospects in Europe on Wednesday in Nani and Anderson. Which to me was amazing on the part of SAF, Anderson is widely regarded as the next Ronaldinho and Nani is compared to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Also Man Utd signed Hagreaves who has been a long target for them.

So yes, all transfer talk/deals/rumours here.

Wowowowow. This is great fucking news. I highly expected them to sign Nani, but Anderson!? I was hoping they'd get Gareth Bale, but I guess ManU wouldn't have used him. I'm still unsure about Hargreaves, though :x

Think ManU will unload Saha? He's a great player... when he isn't injured.

Edit: Also rumors about a possible Henry -> Eto'o + 17mil switch. Sounds like a good deal, or not?

Anderson is really really good, that was the best move Man utd could ever do! he was injured 2/3 of the season because of a hard tackle by katsouranis, but besides that he was a great player, great technic and he's only 18 or 19 i think. He could easily be priced above that..
Now onto Nani, he isn't worth 25 Million imho.. He's good yes, but he's no Cristiano Ronaldo.. He was being spoiled in sporting, they could use him so much better. He's a good player yes, but Man Utd for that price could get Simao or Quaresma that are way better than nani.. Simao is 28 so he's a little old for what Man utd wanted but Quaresma is 22... But i think Carlos Queiroz will shape Nani into a great player, hopefully

Benfica is Linked to Goal Keeper Bruno from flamengo, and Striker Lucarelli from Livorno, they already signed Zoro from messina... Any1 here that follows Brazilian or Italian championships that can tell me something about these 3? Thank you

Well Lucarelli is a tought striker, phisical, good headshot, great fighter and he also score a lot on freekick. He's more than a symbol for Livorno, some yrs ago he refused to sign a 1mln euro/per year contract (with Torino), now he's in a great fight with Livorno president Spinelli. Probably will leave Livorno, never heard here in Italy about Benfica. They talking a lot of Inter as his next team.
Edit. Lucarelli is well know to be very near to "italian extrem left wing"... in the past there was often dissing between "extreme right wing" DiCanio and him... lot of controversy...

Zoro is a mediocre to good player, not a champion, nor a crack in anyway. Messina leted him free to go, without a contract renewal. He becamed famous 2 or 3 yrs ago during a Inter-Messina (played at Messina), targeted from racist insults from the audience, he taked the ball and said now i go away... later i will look for some picture.

Edit: here with Adriano that trying to make him change his mind.

here with Materazzi, same situation...

Man Utd payed 14 million for Nani and 17 for Anderson its said, no where near 25 million though.

Also 17 million + Eto'o for Henry is a great deal imo, Eto'o will score a lot of goals and 17 million to further bolster the squad.

Anyone know why Newcastle are selling Scott Parker for 7 million to West Ham for? Seems like a very bad move to me.

bruno is a good goalkeeper.

I think Anderson is good, but 35 mil Euros is a bit overrated in my opinion. He never had even the opportunity to shine in Brazil, he played the league B when he was 17, and played a important role for Gremio, but he never was "best player inside of Brazil" like Robinho was for example.

Anyway, good luck to Man Utd, I'll watch more of their games if Anderson plays.

[edit] video of bruno (not very good video tho, he has done amazing saves this year)

btw anybody knows st about Juventus Turin?
they got rid of their former trainer and player Didier Deschamps, because of a disagreement with sb at the club.
just read that buffon is like 75% sure to stay at least another year at the club.

many rumours about Liverpool, but nothing really conrete...
benitez demanded new better players because his old squad is not good enough....lol it's not that bad ^.^
they want to get rid of many players like Zenden and riise
had an article about it, but can't find it atm

It seems Arsenal can either change drastically next season or remain the largely the same.

Wenger and Henry would either both stay or both leave this summer.

wow, finally a brazilian that doesn't hype Anderson..

I dunno if hes underrated but hes at least unproved.. maybe hes that good, who knows..

I just don't like him.. If I had to make a bet, I would say that he will flop in England..

Raidern, I think its 35 mill for both players..

Real Madrid
Metzelder - Confirmed.
Saviola - Ends contract with Barça, not confirmed yet.
Kaká - Rumours every week, last ones say Kaká asked for the transfer because he "already has won everything with Milán". Adding that it's a personal desire from RM's president, let's say a very little "maybe". (They are offering 60 million euros)
Cristiano Ronaldo - A lot of rumours until he resigned with ManU but who knows...
Robben, Ribery, Carlos Tevez - Rumours too.
Reyes - out, probably to another spanish team (Atletico de Madrid)

Barça
Henry - Rumours about signing or trade with Etoo plus money. (already posted)
Cristiano Ronaldo - A lot of rumours until he resigned with ManU but who knows...
Belleti, Edmilson, Gudjonsen - Rumours of going out.



EDIT: Added Tevez to RM rumours list.
I've been around since it all started, and it feels good
