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...
lucarelli

dicanio

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

C.Ronaldo to Real Madrid be sure he won't leave the club anytime soon, except anything changes drastically
Saviola coming to Madrid is also pretty unlikely, because he really likes Barca and doesn't want to "betray" his club, but you never know

Kaka would be awesome =)

you should put Eto'o on the list rumoured to leave Barca

Anderson is awesome, believe me.
Three years ago, in the second divison of Brazilian Championships on semis when he was still playing for Grêmio against Náutico he made the impossible. Grêmio had only 8 players and a tied result would give Náutico the victory. He was able to dribble all players in his way and kick to goal all alone.
His problems is his mind, even in his 17yo he thought he was the best player in the world and mistreat everybody in his own team.
Honestly I think teams like Man Utd and Ars should loo for Vagner Love, who is playing for CSKA Moskow.

i think henry is a much better player than eto and that both arsenal and barca will profit from such a deal.

barca getting the best player, arsenal cash to try to build a better team.

Barca likes to have ball possession and the other teams have to defend. Will Henry have room to run with this playstyle? I wouldn't even trade away Etoo without the money if I was them.

I think etoo is at least as good as Henry, Eto\'o is a better pure striker and off the ball player, Henry is more influential. Eto\'o is the better finisher. Both score amazing goals.

Chelsea --> Alex, PSV
Liverpool ---> Fullback (who?)
Appearently Hyypiä is not leaving,,,, damn...
Pompey --> Muntari, Udinese
Robbie Keane stays at Spurs...

DAILY MIRROR
Chelsea will allow Hernan Crespo to stay on loan at Inter Milan next season, and will sell
Premiership flop Khalid Boulahrouz to Bayern Munich for £3.5million - half what the Blues paid a year ago.

DAILY EXPRESS
Manchester United's Gabriel Heinze could become the first Premiership star to to use FIFA's new transfer rule which allows a player to buy out his contract. The £5million-rated Argentina defender is wanted by Real Madrid, Villarreal and Juventus. Heinze would have to pay United about £4million to secure his release.

SOME..
Liverpool are going to get shot of most of that shower we saw last night and replace them with the likes of Samuel Eto'o, Fernando Torres, David Villa, Darren Bent, Daniel Alves and Gabi Millito.

-.-
I haven't talked with him. Neither have you, but he stated st this winter that he couldn't play for RM, because of his loyality to Barca.
Then again, everybody has his price.

Saviola is absolutely right to look for a new club, he did got to little playing time from rijkaard
saviola is an awesome player

just a note on this.
he dribbled two guys if you can running dribbling. Two or three defenders of Nautico was chatting about their grandmothers and he was like 1on1 against the goalkpeer. God he didn't dribble even the goalie

He was pretty smart and fast on the play tho.

goal is here:

keep in mind that Nautico had 11 or 10 players while Gremio had 7. Should a team with 3 or 4 more players than the opponent give such space to a player? Specially on a 'stopped ball'?



[edit] to stay on the topic, Right now I'd prefer Eto'o on my team than Henry. Eto'o is younger and is in a better shape than Henry. I think Henry is awesome and more nice to watch tho. GOD PLZ I WANT TO WATCH BRAZIL ENGLAND TOMORROW, WHO THE FUCK INVENTED WORK?

I wouldnt go as far as saying that etoo is better than henry, maybe in fact henry is better or has accomplish more as of today, but I would deff would want Etoo in my team instead of henry.
I like Etoo as a striker better than henry but thats just my opinion

Henry will be 30 this year, and Etoo turned 26

If barca trades Etoo with money for henry i will be -.,-

Saviola.. They didn't use all the potential and talent that this player offers in Barcelona, and as much as I would want him to stay in Barca, is better for him to leave and find a club that will giving playing time. I wouldn't mind at all seeing in Real Madrid if they actually gave him time.

Carlitos Tevez, Please come to la liga =D or el calcio dont stay in epl. whatever big team that would give him playtime.

Alex is a Chelsea Property. I read somewhere that is simply on some sort of "free loan", and Chealsea have to pay a symbolic 1dollar price to have it back.

quite easily since man u is a big club, and then anderson is like a big signing. not like Dong or whatever his name his, that got sent to belgium, this guy cost millions and work permit becomes pretty simple when your players name is all over the paper.

Anyway, i don't see why people think that anderson is a long term replacement for scholes. If this is the case, then why buy Hargreaves? You are going to have two 18million pound midfield in carrick and hargreaves and although I don't see them working together I can't see SAF dropping one either.

Lucas is good. No more that. He is only 19 tho, he is very likely to improve a lot. He was the captain and one of the best players of Brazil sub-20. He is also going to play the Sub20 World Cup in the end of this month (june).

People saying he is the brazilian gerrard is really stupid, because gerrard is a complete player, while he is still learning a lot. He plays like an older player tho, and is also very mature. Anyway its a very good 'bet' for future, I'd definitely buy him considering his so young.

He was never player of the year in Brazil.

my mistake, I didn't remember he had won that prize.
it's because last year noone was outstanding during the whole league, that's why I didn' remember he had won it.

Lucas is not this good. He has an impressive leadership spirit and he's a brave player but he has poor techniques.
On Sub-20 championship he showed some skills and impressed everybody around here and it seems he has impressed people around there as well.
If I were you I would search something about Vagner Love. This guy has the guts.

I have read so too but today I've seen on TV that Luca Toni to Juventus (10m euros), with Salihamidzic (free) and another player I can't remember. The three are confirmed if we trust what I saw today.

Add Andrade (portuguese central defender, today in Deportivo de la Coruña, SP) to Real Madrid rumour list.

Ribery agent just said to the media that he wants to leave and his main target is Real Madrid. (Source Spanish press).

Henry can come to Barça with or without Etoo in the deal (Source Spanish press).

Obviously all of this can be crap to sell newspapers, so don't take it as holy word =)

hmm right now it's about 23 degrees here in trondheim. it's not as cold here as you would think, because you have this gulf stream that makes it much warmer for us. but it never gets warmer than 30 degrees here, and during winter it can sometimes be as cold as -20. but there are some places north in norway where it gets much, much colder, there's this one place where it can get down to -65 during winter..

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


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.


He didn't play his best at Newcastle and west ham need a replacment for Reo Coker, who has had a bad season but imo is one of the stronger player in the squad.

I think it was the fact that they couldn't provide safety on their arena more than the nationality of the fan. Also the penalty that pissed off the guy would probably have made it 4-3 so not really that unfair to make it 3-0. But way to ruin a great game, yeah.

they SHOULDNT, but you need to send out a strong message against violence.

It's really scary as hell, this guy didn't seem that bad but what if he was spaced out on coke and carrying a knife? That could have been the case too. Scary fucking situation for a ref to ever be in.

Yeah it's also fortunate that the player who blocked the fan was a Denmark player. If it were a Swede that blocked him, a fight would have broken out for sure but the fact that 3 Denmark players immediately got in the fan's face, he backed down quick.

The fan is the most hated guy in Denmark atm. The major newspapers has dubbed him *the idiot' and such. Apparently there was an interview with him today, in which he obviously apologizes. Will try to find it..

Personally I found it kinda funny: not the fact that a ref was punched, but the way everyone reacted. National television around 22.00 yesterday was like an obituary. "The death of danish football" - yeah right, relax k?.
The judgement is fair me thinks. The game was not ruled like this because the fan attacked the ref (ok partly perhaps) but because he was able to access the field so easily. The guards were basically asleep (or drunk, in Denmark everything's possible) thus allowing him to run onto the field.
Trying is the first step towards failure, and hope is the first step towards disappointment!

that's not a fair comment. he was a young player, played out of position. i am certain he would do well in italy.

i was reading about how ancelloti's biggest mistake in management was that he didnt' realize henry could play striker.

Daniel Alves is linked with Chelsea, Chelsea made a 18 Million EURO proposition to Sevilla.
Benfica will probably buy Roque Santa Cruz from Bayern (any1 who have seen more than 3 or 4 games from him (like me) can say more a less if he's a good player? or just an eternal promise?)
Benfica is still linked to Lucarelli but i don't think he will come... Italian championship is really better than the portuguese...
Antunes, a Left Defender from Paços de ferreira (portuguese team) will probably go to Juventus, he's 20 years old and he was called to the national team for the first time this weekend.

18 milion euro is too little for Alves. Especially when he has to go to EPL.
30 milion would be a fair price ;] Barca or Real can give even 25milion euro for him.

Yaya Toure linked with Barca.
Same goes for Abidal, but I doubt in this transfer.
I hope Barca wont wait too long when all good players will be taken -.-;

joey barton can be great i hope he cleans up his act

experience tells me once a football brat always a football brat tho, unless the manager is someone like alex ferguson, but i dunno if big sam has the same out-of-the-field influence on his players. nor is it likely that he's gonna be around for as long as ferguson has.

so i predict him scoring goals and generally being good on the field but never as good as he could be due to unsportsmanlike behaviour.

Bayern Munich signed Ribery, Luca Toni, Ze Roberto and Jan schlaudraf
Makaay will maybe leave Munich.

ManU linkend with many, many forwards: Nicolas Anelka, Guidjohnson, Eto'o, Berbatov and Saviola.
I personally would love to see Saviola at Old Trafford, he is just a brilliant forward and didn't get enough playing time at Barca, even though performing very, very well.
Gilardion was also mentioned to move for 18 millions, but he sucks ^.^ as much you can sucks.

just read that Chelsea won't sell Shevchenko and that there was an offer for Henry, but "the player himself rejected".

I assume so, I think SAF wants him to get proper experience rather than reserves, I think he'd best himself more if he went to Porto. Not as good a team as Juventus but I think he would get more games and CL games also.

Robben contract ends in 2008, so Chelsea has the last word. I don't see any illegal approach there, other thing is R.Madrid offering him a new contract after 2008, because not being on his last year of contract that's illegal.

god robben could have been so incredibly good if he hadn't struggled with lack of playtime and injuries the past couple years.. he was sooo significant in chelsea's first league win, I think I recall that they scored like 3 times more goals in the games where he played than in the other ones, and that he was a large part of the reason. sucks that he's not playing every week

He is very vulnerable to injuries and I think he lacks fighting spirit sometimes, but probably all of that is less important than his skills.

he seems a bit lightweight for the premiership, and i dont think hes ever regained hes confidence since he broke hes ankle vs blackburn in hes first season with chelsea, strictly chelsea point of view here, the form he was in before he got injured was one of the best players ive ever seen, ronaldinho and zola just maybe pick him, the guy is immense, would be a sad day if he did leave...

1 thing i do find funny though is that the same story was released this time last year ... weird?

yeah lack of playtime definitely caused by injuries, but this season mourinho sorta didnt opt for using him from the beginning of the season, where he was trying to get a no-wing formation working.

yeah, i think that was mainly down to roman though because i think he brought in sheva and ballack, also dont forget we couldnt really play that formation due to injuries, and mourinhos lack in faith in SWP and Robben/Kalou i think did cost us the title... maybe next season you will see the best of robben, i think hes one of the best young talents in europe..

Well, Chelsea contacted Makelele and offered him a higher fee, then Makelele asked Madrid for a new contract and stopped playing. So Madrid was forced so sell him. In spanish we say "Ver la paja en el ojo ajeno y no el tronco en el propio" which translation I think is "To see the mote that is in your brother's eye and not the beam that is in your own eye"

pato is very very good, even better when you know he is 17, will complete 18 in september.
but don't look for his video on the net, the videos suck, they only show fancy stuff and those sub20 south america tourney.

he is showing he is good right now, playing against adults and scoring goals.

Raidern, here in portugal there are always news about the south american players, cuz brazilian players can play on the portuguese league as they were portuguese, there are no limits, so we have many brazilian players... some south american players are linked to the 3 greats of portuguese players, can someone tell me what do you think about them? Cuz i don't follow South American Football.

Benfica:
Bruno (Flamengo)
Gladstone
Edgar (Ex - Sao Paulo)
Diego Souza (Grémio)
Carlos Alberto

Porto:

Man Utd rumoured to sign a striker, David Gill commented that if one to come who SAF would like they would try to acquire him.

McCann to Bolton

Edit - To the guy who said Juventus are in Serie A (referring to Rossi, well so I think anyway) is that they aren't in Europe and I doubt he'd get much playing time. But i'd like to see him there than Porto.

Miroslav Klose might be going to Bayern if Bremen allow him to go. He still has a yr on his contract

Bayern has been very impressive with their signings so far. Looks like they are gonna pull a Lyon on the rest of the German league for the next couple of yrs after this one shitty yr for them

Why would Henry go to AC? I think it is one of the clubs that he actually won't go to, not for personal reason but I don't see arsenal doing a trade without taking in a forward. And even if AC pay arsenal 50M, they cannot be certain that they can get a replacement for Henry.

henry declared today his disappointment for the leave of a "vice-president" in arsenal (sorry but i dont remember exactly the name) and said that this man represented a lot for him and that he dont even wants to know why he leave and so on... as in these days happen the media got some sort of invention in this: gilardino in the last days said that he was unhappy and blabla, galliani answered him that if someone wants to spend 25M on gila, he was free to go away. this is the preface of the "journalist case" called "henry at milan" which i higly doubt for a bunch of reason: 1st of all these reasons is that in italy we are very deluded by english striker (of course hernry is not english but played a lot of yrs there) cause premier and serie a are very different and those striker who do well in premier totally sucked in our serie a (one for all ian rush liverpool to juve) while it's not true the opposite (one for all bergkamp from inter to arsenal) ... so it's a enormous risk for italian (big) teams to buy a striker from premier...
2nd on a totally different side: today gila and galliani maked love saying that it was a totally misunderstandment and so on (usually bullshit )

Benfica:
Bruno (Flamengo) - Very good goalkeeper, above avg.
Gladstone - I know him but never payed attention.
Edgar (Ex - Sao Paulo) - Played only a couple of games for Sao Paulo, didn't make up to the expectation... played pretty badly at sub20.
Diego Souza (Grémio) - Good player
Carlos Alberto - You probably know him, played for Porto in 2004, pretty good player, he only has some mental problems, thinks he is Pele, etc.

Porto:
Mario Bollati - Never heard of (not that he is unkown or bad, just that I never heard of him)
Alexandre Pato - Best forward you can buy from Brazil *right now*. Especially considering he is 17 and can improve so much.

1 game of him... this is like European Supercup, winner of Libertadores vs winner of South America Cup.. but its split in two games, in the 2nd game he took part in 2 of 4 goals, should have scored one more (defender scored own goal instead of letting him score haha)

Diego Souza is from Benfica, but he's on loan to Grémio.... We could really use him... He could be a perfect substitute for Petit, Katsouranis or Karagounis... And i think Edgar already signed with benfica... Benfica sux when it comes to attackers :| I think that porto will buy 2 argentinian guys with the money from anderson instead of pato...

Arjen Roben representative just said that he is about to sign his new contract with Chelsea, so probably won't move.

Rumours:
Heinze(ManU) to R.Madrid
Yaya Toure, De Rossi to Barça

well agreed 99%: the adjustment problem goes both ways...
rossi did GREAT at parma (but parma is not a "big team", and rossi is a young italian school striker, even if at man.utd in the last yrs)
corradi fails at man.city (? not sure), montella fails too

but what i was pointting out is a sort of "common sense" here in italy in which ALL the big teams, those who wants ompetitive in serie a, dont even think about to buy a striker from premierleague

hm.... rossi was from italy. I think this is not a very good example. Adding to nvn list, Henry from Juv->arsenal, an obvious case where one did not make it in Italy but is a star in EPL now.

Well, as far as I know, he was in born and raised in the states till around like 14 or 15, when he moved to Italy when offered a youth team deal at Parma, and a little over a year later, United brought him over to England when he was 16 and he stayed there for 3 years until now.

So although he does play for the Italian Youth National Teams... I can't say he's exactly got tons of pure ITALIAN style of soccer from his background.

But didn't Juventus not use Henry as a striker? I remember reading somewhere that the coach said that was probably his biggest mistake in his career. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

true, he was in italy for only a short time, but 15 is probably the time you are most capable to adapting and learning something new. He has not make his mark in EPL yet so we will see.
The thing about Henry is that he went to Juv as a left winger, where he has played all his life previously. Only Wenger know something about him being a forward because Wenger knew Henry way back in the Marsille day or whatever(I haven't really watch football at that age -_-" maybe I am wrong).

Juve Want Tiago from Lyon, But Lyon asks for 18M € for him.
Eduardo Ratinho and Willian will probably come to Benfica in exchange for Anderson (Defender Center) and some moneyz :O
Oscar Cardozo is linked with Porto and Gladstone is going on a loan to Sporting.
Figo will play one more year in Inter.
Everton wants manuel fernandes but benfica asks too much money (10M). He's been on loan in everton for the past hal year.

ratinho I never payed any attention to him, only know his name

Henry to Barca may be fake. It is reported in 3rd person. There's no quotes or shit.

Trezeguet lately for the last few years in the eyes of the public, is someone who botches up everytime they watch him. Yeah, I still do remember him being a great scorer last time.

I read that Arsenal are attempting to get Trezeguet. He is also Henry's French teammate and also because that Henry wants a big signing to keep him at the club.

Last quote from Henry "I am for now an Arsenal player."

Milan will meet Calderon at Madrid soon to talk about Emerson and it's said that Calderon will make another offer on Kaká, as you said, 80 million €.

Atlético de Madrid Wants Ricardo Quaresma but Porto Wants 25 Million for him.
Robben will stay in chelsea.
Cardozo will probably come to Benfica for 8M (i hope)

oh my god that Quagliarella is AMAZING, especially considering those were all 13 of his league goals, no penalties, lucky 2nd chances, etc. Every goal pure class, I want him at manU next season. My favorite is goal #6, perhaps the most beautiful goal of the year imo. just sublime

#13 goal is the best in my opinion, it showed he is fast, thinks fast and has a good vision of the game.

#9 was of course beautiful

6# was pretty nice too

Quagliarella is very good besides his shooting skills. This years Sampdoria got through many difficults (often ended the games with 10 players, due to red cards) and Quagliarella got to play as a midfielder or as a winger, while he's definetely a striker. And did great games in those position too.

I think he will stay at Sampdoria one more year (beside this he's a Co-property Samp-Udinese) and have more experience and then move to one major italian team (Milan, Inter, Juve, maybe Roma). He doesnt seem to me at all one guy that wants to move to another country (maybe I'm wrong ).

Bolton keeper Jussi Jääskeläinen rejected new contract offer, he has 1year left in his old one...
Aston Villa, Sunderland and Manu are intrested of him. He is one of the best keepers @epl(yes i am biased!). Bolton is going to coca-cola after next season !

"Milan Channel" just said David Suazo (Cagliari forward) is a new player of AC Milan.
Watched around but it's 1.30 in the night, this seems totally strange to me 'cause he was given at Inter at 100% for months... as soon as I found a written source over the internet I will report it.
If this is true, is totally unexpected and it will be very controversy over the fan (heading for a big name like eto or ronaldinho) and for the critics (that will have to cover their own GREAT failure in saying Suazo-Inter and will need to throw some shit on that...).
My two cents? Knowing how their think at Milan, is a totally good buy: he come from a small team and wont be the kind of player that want to play at all cost (with Ronaldo, Inzaghi and Gila, it's hard) but he got great "runner" skills (that is what Milan strikers do not have at all).

Capello wants to stay in Real Madrid.He said that he might quit coaching if real madrid doesnt let him stay saying that he already coached the best teams in the world and he wants to win CL with real.

but there is a strong rumor about getafes former coach to take over real madrid.

La porta said that Frank R will be staying in barca ( gay i wanted him to leave) and that Eto'o and Dinho are staying as well

Just some colour on soccer: the usual moderation of Italian press.
On Inter after Suazo gone to Milan.

"Adesso o l’Inter prende uno fra Eto’o, Ronaldinho o Tevez, o può mettere da parte tutti i sogni di gloria per la prossima stagione"

"Now or Inter buy one of Eto'o, Ronaldinho and Tevez, or can even forget glorious days in the next season"

I think Tevez is the best player avaliable in the market (because he is the only big star moving)

About Real Madrid coach, it's between Capello and Bernd Schuster. I didn't like the way RM played this season but the title is only Capello's work so, it's hard to decide what to do.

And about Real Madrid signings, we need an offensive game builder asap.

Barça will kick out 9 players and sign 6, rumours say.

In my opinion marquez isnt good enough to play in barca, I watched almost every single game of barca this season and he made big mistakes in a lot of games, especially in champions league he made a huge mistake vs chelsea i think? or bremen i dont recall exacly, Im not saying that a player should be perfect because they are all humans, but marquez just isnt good enough for barca I think.



hes linked with many clubs in seria a , including Juve, Fiore, and even milan but that last one is very unlikely.

In Barca we deff need a good right winger, and a good center defender. Other than that I dont even think the team needs more players.maybe a defensive midfilder and a good sub foward,( they shouldve kept Saviola fucking rijkard)

Thuram is too old and is not in shape for barca anymore, I dont even know why they bought him in the first place. He was really good back in day.

Iniesta, Dinho, Xavi, and Deco are perfect. Messi, Eto'o and Dos Santos are perfect
Zambrotta, and Puyol are perfect too. Valdez is ok..

Barcelona needs a left back (Abidal or that Ajax leftback), and either a central back(i read Pique) or defensive mid (Toure). This season I blame their failure on injuries of top players (they took a lot to regain their level) and a simply bad year of other players possibly due to lack of motivation, arrogance or bad preseason dunno.

I see Barcelona winning the season next year, being dominant. If Madrid brings Kaka then they will put up a fight, but Barça with Eto'o(if he stays or any other top forward they get), Messi, Dinho, Dos Santos, Bojan up there is just too strong.

And Marquez, just as Rijkaard, you want them out just for one bad year? wtf makito.

edit: I believe Barça needs to get rid of Motta, Edmilson, Guddy, Giuly and Deco(Iniesta > him).

Well I never liked Rijkaard, hes not a good coach, hes a good motivator, a lot of sports critics agree with this. With all the players that barcelona had, the team couldve played by itself. Well not the 1st year, but 2 and 3 yes. Rijkaard started doing mixes of line ups and formations in very important games, instead of playing with what they knew worked. example 1st game vs zaragoza in copa del rey, clasico barca v real, first game vs liverpool, and i could keep going.

You defend marquez because of nationality, thats fine, Im not saying he sucks overall, he had a good first year, but it seemed that this year was too much for him.

I agree that Barcelonas injuries fucked up pretty bad, but saviola was there and he did awesome, 11 goals in 24 games, in which when he was playing every game he scored 8 goals in 6 games, and then rijkaard stopped using him. I think if he wouldve used Saviola more instead of eskimo they wouldve done a lot better.

I wish they bring young players not like 29> and up

you seriously think that one player even though it's kaka, agrueablely the best football player at the moment, will decide if Madrid can compete with Bacra?
if you have a good collective (of course the players need a certain amount of skill) and are good defenders/fighters you can be so good and you can definitely win La Liga.

Btw, no real big club wants Saviola?
that's kind of weird, he is a good forward (if he plays) and proved this several times
he was even in Argentinia's (first?) squad at the worldcup in germany

I get what you say. Try to imagine this seasonçs Milan without him, big difference eh? do you think they could have win CL?

I think collective play and order can only take you so far, in my opinion you need "different players" to really make it big, but indeed there have been several times when this isn´t the case (ie Greece 2004, playing horrible football but still).

Saviola is supposedly wanted by many big clubs, somehow I think he is going to end up in Zaragoza which would be great. But as like ribery he said he wants to play Champions League.

try to imagine:
ManU without C. Ronaldo
Real withouth van Nistelroy
Barca without Messi...

past is past...done
whereas future is open, anything can happen

especially Ronaldinhio gave us a good exampel how performance can change drasticly:
he fucking dominated in 2006 till CL finals and is just "average" next season.

On Inter. They're risking a "retrocessione" from Serie A to Serie B, because of some illecit acts in season 2005-06. This could be a new "typical italian scandal" that give new scenarios to transfers.
As an italian I doubt very high this is gonna happen, but this kind of news is getting a bigger space on media day by day...

Illecit economics acts, do make sense in english "false balance"? Meaning that you sell a player for 1mln and make result that you selled him for 10mln... dont know how to explain it better.
Shouldnt be anything of horrible like "falsing result" (like juventus did last year) but just something REALLY stupid due for the most to inexperience (and at this level, is really LOL ).

Ya you are right fbs, did you also watch the game between serbia and belgium? It wasn't as exciting as the netherlands and england game, but it was still not bad. It should be an interesting final. Both teams seem to be keen on attacking a lot and that's always interesting.

so this means quagliarella will definitely not be co-owned for next season? and also it will be easier for utd to buy him?

I think it means that Sampdoria and Udinese will have an auction and the highest bidder will take him, so if the bid goes very high, ManU will have to pay over that price to make the owner team worth the deal. Probably that will make Quagliarella more expensive.

Gaby Milito linked with Real Madrid. Zaragoza recently broke negotiations with Juventus and they are now talking with RM. The funny thing is that RM was the original buyer of Milito 4 years ago but then they found a "supposed" injury in his knee (that never took place) and signed Walter Samuel instead. The result was a total failure with Samuel, and a huge success by Milito at Zaragoza and now, RM is going to pay more than three times Milito's first price.

Barcelona in talks to sign Henry

Henry appears set for a move to Spain
Barcelona are in talks with Arsenal with a view to signing Thierry Henry, BBC Sport understands.
Officials for the Spanish club are in London negotiating with the Gunners over a reported £16m transfer fee.

Barcelona hope to close the deal by next week for Arsenal's record goalscorer who has long been linked with a move to the Nou Camp.

The 29-year-old's agent, Jeff Weston, told BBC Sport: "The SEM Group have no comment to make."

Earlier in June, the agency rubbished reports from France that the Arsenal star had agreed a provisional three-year contract with Barcelona.

606: DEBATE
Do you think this is a good deal for Arsenal?

Henry signed a new four-year contract with the Gunners last year but appeared to cast doubt on his future in June when he said he was flattered by interest from AC Milan.

This came after he said he was "devastated" when Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein left the club in April because of "irreconcilable differences" with the rest of the board. Both AC Milan and Barcelona had declared their interest in the player, who has been constantly linked with a big-money move away from Arsenal for the last few summers.

Meanwhile, former Arsenal team-mate Patrick Vieira told BBC Five Live that he feared Henry would leave the Gunners if the Premiership side did not bring several world-class players.

"If Arsenal bring two or three big names that will show Thierry that they want to compete," said the current Inter Milan player.

"If that's not the case Thierry will ask himself what is the best for him."

Fake for now. Until you get quotes from Henry or Wenger confirming this in the articles then it may be considered true. I already had news about this back in the papers 3 or 4 times. After the first time, there came out an article quoting him saying he's an Arsenal player. Then the papers reported him twice for confirming a move. And then after that day, I saw press conference on tv with him saying he's going to consult legal advice about the story and he again reiterates "now an Arsenal player". So, it cannot be true yet. I think it's the fkin media(or one idiot magazine) are trying to pressure or cause rift between players/clubs/managers so that there will be real transfers as a result.

Many players want to retire at Barcelona. Look at Henrik Larsson. Guy just wanted to play football on european lvl and he won Champions League. I'm sure Henry wants a success on the end of his career and he just sees that he cant achieve it with Arsenal.

lol i can't believe they are only paying 24 milion for him

henry in my opinion is at the HIGHEST level you can put any player on! even if he is 30 he is worth at least 40 milion euros (is it EURO or EUROS?)

It's done, 24 million euros. 10 per year salary

I don't agree with you Raidern, Henry is not at his top level, he played pretty average this season. I think the great deal is for Arsenal and him because of the 40 million he is gonna earn.

Obviously is a great signing for Barça, but it's risky. I mean, Van Nistelrooy was the same case but he is a rebound hunter/header fordward, so he does not need any adaptation, but Henry has a very special style, I need to see him at Barça to see if he can fit their play.

henry has been injured like the entire season.. he played with injury for a long time and that obviously set him back. if he gets completely rid of them he'll still be a top player.

Yet another one on Henry to Barca(my country's paper):
http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2007/6/23/sports/18116450&sec=sports

Hmm.. okay, from the article I linked, the agent denied the move. And yet no quotes from Henry or Wenger about it. And also, Henry's agent is different from the one posted by shemakesme (Jeff Weston vs Jerome Anderson). Hmm..?

@Telemako
How credible is this Cadena Ser radio and the El Pais newspaper? Know anything about them?

And who are these quoted Barca officials?

I still don't want to believe it until Henry confirms it himself.

$38m Henry set for Barca

From correspondents in Madrid
June 23, 2007

ARSENAL has agreed to sell France international striker Thierry Henry to Barcelona for 24 million euros ($38 million), a Barcelona spokesman said today (AEST), but denied media reports a four-year deal is sealed.

"It's still not been confirmed," said the spokesman, adding discussions had been going on in London between Barca's financial affairs vice-chairman, Ferran Soriano, and Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.

Earlier, Spain's usually well-informed Cadena Ser radio quoted club sources as saying the deal had been finalised, and Barcelona-based sports journal El Mundo Deportiv also said it was closed and that Henry would arrive in the Catalan metropolis tomorrow for presentation next week.

He is reportedly to undergo a medical on Monday.

Barca, pipped at the post for the league title by Real Madrid, had been chasing the 29-year-old World Cup winner for more than a year, and now expect to line him up alongside Cameroon hotshot Samuel Eto'o and Ronaldinho, in a forward line which also includes Argentina starlet Leo Messi.

Henry has spent eight seasons at Arsenal but has grown frustrated at the club's lack of European success.

He was a member of the side which lost to Barca in the 2006 Champions League final.

Arsenal had been hoping for a transfer fee in the region of 35 million euros ($55 million) but, with Henry 30 this (northern) summer, Barca appears to have been able to knock it down.

British media earlier this week quoted Eto'o as saying his close friend would soon join him at the Nou Camp.

"He is a great mate of mine and we will play all together," Eto'o was quoted as saying.

Henry started off his career as a precocious winger with Monaco under Wenger's tutelage in 1994, a year before the latter headed off to Grampus Eight in Japan.

After playing a cameo role in France's World Cup win on home soil in 1998, Henry joined Juventus in 1998 but played barely half-a-season there before heading back to the Riviera for a brief spell.

Then Arsenal came calling with Wenger at the helm in 1999 and, after he turned his protege into a centre-forward, Henry blossomed into one of the greatest players in the world, scoring more than a goal every other game in some 250 league matches over eight seasons.

He also won the 2000 European Championship with France.

Barca, keen to reassert its dominance over Real Madrid next season, is also looking at AS Roma's Romania defender, Cristian Chivu, with club secretary Txiki Begiristain in Rome with a 13 million euro ($21 million) offer and the added carrot of Brazil defender and former Arsenal man Sylvinho as a deal makeweight.

Catalan media said Begiristain had met Roma's technical director Danielle Prade and unveiled his offer.

Arsenal are so stupid it almost defys belief. To sell arguably the best player in the world at a time when they really need him just defys belief.

Wow.

Bet you Arsenal fans regret spending your whole roll on that shiny new stadium only to have no money left to buy players and being forced to see perhaps your two most important players in history in two years. I think 24 million euros or 16 million pounds is a fair price considering he is 30, was injured last season and Van Nistelrooy's speculated fee was 10 million pounds. I think he will do well in Barca because he is one of the most brilliant players ever regardless of his speed.

I'm an Arsenal fan, even though Henry leaves, we played the most of this season without him and got 4th, Adebayor is growing into a good striker and van Persie is already brilliant. Arsenal won't play crap just because Henry leaves, we did good without him as well. Maybe Arsenal will try and get Fernando Torres, who is pretty good.

the only thing about Henry going is that the price seems a bit low. I am sure Arsenal will survive, obviously not going for any silverware but they can still end up in the CL place. I bet Wenger will make a great signing that no one talked about before and he comes into EPL and showing magic.

Cadena Ser is one of the two top news radios and El Pais is one of the three top newspapers(excluding sports ones). I think it's really done, there's no trace to doubt.

I think adebayor has some potential at least physically, he is strong and fast but technical wise I don't know how much more he can improve. Doesn't Arsenal have this Spanish wonderkid Carlos Vela though? or is he a winger? oh yea and theo walcott too.

Probably due to Arsenal's defending record in the Champion's League. But yeah, I can see that Gilberto's style does not fit the style of the invincible Brazil team we all knew and loved.

he is mexican and wont get work permit till Jan 2008. It is possible he gets to EPL earlier according to some rumours, pnly if he has a (very)good performance at u20wc. Vela is a striker kinda like David Villa.

Brazilian sensation Alexandre Pato is understood to be on the verge of joining Chelsea.

Chelsea have been fairly quiet in the transfer market this summer but reports suggest they could tie up an £18million move for Pato in the next few days.

The 17-year-old - nicknamed Alex the Duck - has produced some sparkling performances for Internacional in recent months and is tipped to become the next big thing in Brazil.

The likes of Benfica and Milan have been linked with Pato but Chelsea are keen to snap him up quickly.

They were initially expected to watch Pato in action at the upcoming Under 20 World Cup before deciding whether to bring him in.

But Chelsea also fear he could attract more interest with a good showing at the youth competition in Canada, and Pato's agent claims a move is imminent.

"A deal is almost done," Gilmat Veloz said in the News of the World.

Reports claim Chelsea have agreed to let Pato stay with Internacional until the end of the Brazilian season in December.




anyone know anything about him??

I don't like him (Gilberto Silva) at all. He has made a lot of stupid mistakes playing for Brazil that makes me fucking angry at him. And durh if there is a sport where invicibility does not exist, its football, so I don't care if Brazil pays defensively if it does win, like it did in 1994.

I just can't stand playing defensively and losing (I can't stand playing offensively and losing too ).

About Pato, the boy is a fucking machine, I hope they don't ruin him throwing him into Chelsea, because I don't think he will play in the start eleven for a long time.

agreed, since chelsea have signed another striker making it shevcenkho/drogba/kalou/pizzaro and then the wingers.. i just cant see it happening to be honest, and about gilberto silva, i consider himself a good DMF.. definatley not the best but hes not exactly bad at it.. but i agree he shouldnt be in the brazil team with the likes of kaka/ronaldinho/diego etc, maybe the manager thinks it adds balence? :s

Kaka/Ronaldinho/Diego don't play as defensive midfielders. For the role of DMF or even as a holding midfielder, Brazil doesn't have many superstars, only other guys I can think of are Edmilson, Dudu Cearense and that crap guy that went through Sporting Lisbon a few years ago, Tinga.

josué + mineiro > gilberto silva + emerson

ask any brazilian

[edit] one thing I HATE about brazilians is that, a player plays really well here, but he is not 'valoured' by people. They have to wait him to go to some european club to be considered a good player, WTF. Then they come back like fucking stars.

Carlos Alberto (played for Porto) left Brazil with like 18-19 years, playing really well, but being considered a good player. He made a regular-good season with Porto I think and then after a time he came back to Brazil like a huge star and thinking he was Pele.

Tevez said today that he is between Real Madrid and Inter but that he prefers Inter and has said so to his manager.
I've been around since it all started, and it feels good

Bayern Get Klose


Bayern Munich have struck a deal to sign Miroslav Klose from Werder Bremen this summer.

Klose had 12 months remaining on his Bremen contract and had already outlined his intention to join Bayern in 2008.

However, the Bavarian club have been keen to reach an agreement with their Bundesliga rivals to sign the striker in time for the new season.

Club president Franz Beckenbauer, along with Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, had stressed the desire to ensure Klose was added to the squad for next term.

Both clubs have now confirmed that a transfer fee has been agreed, with Klose signing a four-year contract at the Allianz Arena.

Bremen general manager Klaus Allofs said: "Bayern fulfilled our expectations and we approved the transfer under those conditions."

Reports in Germany claim that Bayern will pay €15million (£10million) for the Polish-born hit-man, who was top scorer at the 2006 World Cup.

Klose will form a new-look strike-force for Bayern next season following the capture of Italian ace Luca Toni from Fiorentina.

I disagree about Josué. Hes average at best.. Anyway, ppl hate GS and Emerson the same way they did hate every defensive midfielder in Brazil since the 1982 team.. Emerson is old, but Gilberto is a good player..

My team:
---------------Julio Cesar---------------

-Daniel Alves-Lucio-Juan-Gilberto

--------- Gilberto S.--Mineiro--------

--------------------Diego------------------

-Kaka-------------------------------R10-

Dunno if this has been posted but VfB Stuttgart are probably getting Ewerthon from Saragossa. They made a new bid (< 6 million probably) and although Saragossa still claim they want 8 million the transfer is very likely because he wants to come to Stuttgart (I guess because of the CL 07/08).

Rumors are Stuttgart received an offer of 25 million for Mario Gomez by Juve but Stuttgart officials are denying it and sey they won't sell him.

I don't understand, aren't you supposed to keep the coach that wins you the title for the first time in many years? Is it because how he gets in feuds with players and benches them? What's worse is that he's in China right now to promote for Real I assume and they fire him while he's here.... dirty dirty management

Calling Josué average is really weird to me, but I will respect your opiniong assuming you watch Sao Paulo's games.


About going to europe thing, there are enough good players here that didn't have success in Europe or didn't even play there to prove that failure in Europe doesn't imply you are not good, or not 'that' good.

Marcelinho Carioca, Ricardinho, Muller, Alex.

Alex is playing in turkey for many years now, I'm sure the competition there is not better than in Brazil, and he never went to a big club. Would you say he is not good because of that?

Josué is avarege, wasn't him in the bench few games ago? hehe.. wait more months and we'll see if hes that good, I say it because every mediocre player can have a good season..

Not that I am a great fan of Valdes, but he is quite underrated. Sure he is not in the Buffon, Cech, Casillas goalkeepers level, but he is definetly consistant which is the most important thing in a goalie, just remember the champions league final between Barça and Arsenal, Valdes saved the team that day .

Well maybe im a bit biased but for me Valdez isnt underrated at all. For me it was always more like.. that.. valdes was called the weak spot of barca and i remember that he did do quite a few mistakes which had been crucial and which a top goalie shouldnt do..

what so ever.. its not that important anyway.. but the team looks indeed might..
im a big henry fan and im really looking forward to how things will turn out for him in barca.. : D

I don't think Rikjaar will play with Messi+Etoo+Ronaldinho+Henry, it will weaken too much the middlefield in defense terms.

I'm loving how Barça is being fast at signing their reinforcements, Madrid is just playing around and there won't be any good player left when they realize.

josué is part of the starting eleven of Sao Paulo since 2004 or 2005. That's three years now, and he always played a important role for the team.

He was never bench since then.

I still have a feeling that either Eto'o or Ronaldinho will get transfered.

you aren't biased.. he surely isn't underrated..

raidern, I'm talking about last year, when he was playing good, he did a good brasileirão.. the other years he was average, this year too..

And I'm correct because hes still playing in Brazil.. If he was playing that good he wouldn't be here.. thats a fact..

imo Torres is not worth nearly that much, he has always been highly promising but not even one of the top 3 strikers in La Liga past few years. He played well in the World Cup but the goals he scored were vs bad teams. Now Liverpool has way too many forwards, Crouch, Kuyt, Cisse, Bellamy, Voronin

Nice overprice, but remember, he is only 23. Also Atl.Madrid is a rich team so they have no need to sell him... Now its nice to see what he can do with good middfield behind him.

That's not true, A.Madrid has a lot of income from it's supporters but it's far from being called rich team.

IMO it's too much for Torres, he is young but we are still waiting for his explosion. And we've been waiting many years

Eduardo Da Silva goes to Arsenal to replace Henry for 24 million €

"Arsenal FC have moved swiftly to replace Thierry Henry after agreeing a deal to sign NK Dinamo Zagreb striker Eduardo da Silva for a reported €24m fee, which would be the biggest ever received by a Croatian club.

Four-year deal
The Brazilian-born 24-year-old signed for Dinamo in 1998 from CBF Nova Kennedy and has since become a Croatian international. He has finalised terms for a contract until 2011 subject to a medical and has flown to London with Dinamo sport director Zoran Mamić. Eduardo has been the top scorer in the Croatian First League for the last two seasons, scoring a divisional record 34 goals in 2006/07 as Dinamo retained the title, taking the tally to 47 in all club competitions. A message on Dinamo's website read: "Eduardo, thank you for all that you gave to our team and we wish you a successful career at one of the most respected clubs on the world."

He is croatian now, and he makes that really clear. I remember in the world cup croatians were quite mad that he wasnt' called to play the world cup, but I never saw him play, so...

I still think 24 million euro is a bit too much for him.

gogogogo manu...it would be great if they got tevez, added depth up front...so that would probably mean saha to the bench? anyway, i dunno why the keep investing in forwards when they've got plenty of them already...i seriously think they use the cash to strengthen their depth in defense, particularly left and right back...i mean sure neville is still a player to be reckoned with, but his legs aren't what they used to be..i don't see heinze being with manu nxt season leaving evra and silvestre...and if either of them gets injured, then who? a reserve player?

agjiowpefoweif BEST NEWS EVER, Tevez is so talented and hard working too, next season is gonna be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick. I love how we just stole him from right under the noses of Inter, AC Milan, etc. Not even a showing interest news on tabloids, everyone assumed ManU didn't have money left then BAM, agreeing to personal terms. Rooney and Tevez will be better than Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke. Start of a new era at old trafford

I hope Saha will be sold, he is an injury waiting to happen, but when he's not hurt, he's got all the qualities to be a top level striker except for maybe finishing. I hope we keep Alan Smith, the broken leg was just bad luck. Evra is a very good left back, so is Heinze he just had a bad season I believe. If the defense doesn't get too many injuries I think they will be fine though Silvestre and especially O'Shea should be sold. Hargreaves is versatile enough to fill in at fullback if needed.

II don't think Man U stole him 'from under the noses of Milan/Inter' at all.. I think it is clear he enjoys playing in England and did not want to go to Italy, and when did everyone assume Man U didn't have the money??

If it goes through it will be a great signing, hopefully he doesn't take as long as he did at West Ham to get off the mark.

Because they got a lot of debt after the Glazer takeover and have loads of interest payments to do.

It's pretty sure.

http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/premiership/article2739697.ece

also in that article:

+ Show Spoiler +
How have Manchester United, laden with £660m of debt, suddenly managed to find £71m in one summer to outspend their rivals? It's the question that some fans are asking. And the simple answer is: they haven't.

The headline figures of United's transfer window are £17m, £17m, £17m and £20m. Those are amounts United have agreed to pay for Anderson, Nani, Owen Hargreaves, and, perhaps, Carlos Tevez.

This is not the whole story. The Glazers' expenditure may be below the £25m they originally promised Sir Alex Ferguson.

How? Tevez, 23, will arrive on a two-year loan deal, and although that might cost a yearly fee of £4m to £8m, buying him outright can be deferred to a future year's accounts, if they exercise their option.

Brazil's Anderson, 19, and Portugal's Nani, 20, are being bought effectively on HP. United are understood to have paid £7m and £8m up front, and will pay the rest over the terms of the deals.

And while Hargreaves, 26, has cost a chunk up front, he became a United player only on 1 July, and the outlay falls into next year's accounts.

So instead of £70m, United have spent only £20m already.

Three of the players have a decade of playing ahead, and Hargreaves should have his peak years in Manchester. United are investing in the future, which is when the payments will be spread.

Yeah, 30 million, wtf! This is madness. Zaragoza is only asking 20 for Milito and I think he is better and has proved a lot in spanish league already.

Metzelder and Pepe made
Schuster, new coach, said Saviola is also made

Interested in:
Drenthe, Tevez, Cesc, Reyes (it was on loan from Arsenal, using Baptista, but they want to buy him), Chivu (don't think so now they bought Pepe).

I will be happy if they sign Cesc, RM needs an offensive builder a lot. Also I hope Drenthe or Tevez come, better the argentinian but it seems ManU has his hands on him already.

Saviola arrives on friday, it's confirmed

Barça signed Gabi Milito for 18 million euros. One of the best center defender in the world today.

it is crazy that RM is buying so many players, especially defenders where they have got plenty. Why not buy a left back? and where is the youth academy?
I am not sure if Cesc is available, considering that I think Wenger will sign a new contract. I actually like RM plays a kind of 4222, and using a DM and a kind of normal midfield to spray the ball around which I think Gago+Guti can cover this.

Spanish market is boiling at the moment xD

- Real Madrid
- Pepe: 30 millions sign. Rumours say the deal is more than that. It seems RM wants Quaresma too, so the deal is 16 for Pepe, and 14 + Baptista for Quaresma. Why? Because Barça has a 25% over Quaresma, and that's why Oporto was asking so much money for him. Making it 30 for Pepe and Baptista for Quaresma, Barça gets nothing and the deal is done. The only thing to do is the agreement of Baptista and Quaresma for each side. As said, it's just a rumour.

- Saviola arrives on friday. Confirmed by both sides, RM and Barça.

- Drenthe: Feeyenord and RM have an agreement, they are waiting Drenthe's OK

- Cesc: This is my dreamed signing. But what he wants is to stay with Wegner. Spanish press (-_-) say that Cesc has asked Arsenal to listen to the offer from RM, so there's a little chance, but I won't bet on it =(


- Barça

- Milito is 17 + 3,5 on matches played, team success and so, being Barça, probably they'll have to pay the 20,5. With Milito and Puyol I can't imagine a forward dribbling between them T_T

- Laporta just said that the needs of the team are covered and that probably there won't be any more signings.

Lucas went to Liverpool

He was really good at Gremio (brazilian team) and in the u20. But nowadaysI don't think succeed at brazilian league is enough anymore, since everyone good leaves early, like Lucas and Pato.

IMO he will be just "another one" at the premier league..

in the other way, Pato is a "craque" and if he gain some muscles hes gonna be one of the greats in his generation.. But he has to avoid Internazionalle FFS.. if his manager do that, hes an idiot.. Not a loser team full of argentinians please..

What's this deal with Heinze wanting to go to Liverpool? He did have an average year and Evra is the French Roberto Carlos but who's gonna play at left back if he leaves, and to Liverpool out of all places? He did completely annihilate Liverpool two years ago though, he played one of his best games against them.

I think Bolton also signed Christian Wilhelmsson who should be a very good addition as well.

Man U better have some nice defensive aces from their reserves up their sleeve otherwise they might suffer the way Chelsea did last season... Heinze seems almost certain to leave to Liverpool whch would be a big blow. If any one of G.Neville/Rio/Vidic/Brown/Evra get injured theyre walking a tightrope.

seriously? you played with him when he was in the US? He went to Villareal but Man U still has first option on him so they can potentially buy him back for a decent price if he does well. Lesson learned from Diego Forlan, Mr. 88th minute substitue to European Golden Boot winner.

Finally Milan moved!
Buyed Pato (15mln euro). He signed for 5 yrs.
Official site write "from aug 3rd he could play friendly matches and from jan 3rd he could play official matches".
There were rumours on this, that said Pato will go to Milan on jan 2008... instead, here he is

Man U still have Dong, the chinese guy. I am waiting to see him, since I got quite a good impression the last time I saw him (ManU charity match against europe all star, I was in OT) I am sure he is good, maybe not yet epl standard but he was like top scorer in belguim so I would like him to be given more chance.

Did milan just made their first signing of the summer? or have I just completely missed everything.

Looks like Juan Roman Riquelme might stay in Boca for another 6 months, So far Villareal doesnt want him, and no big clubs have made an offer ( at least a public one) and Macri ( Bocas President) asked AFA to give him a little more time on the transfer window ( In Arg it closes the 15th i think?) so he can work another loan deal with villareal.

What does this mean? Riqueleme will play copa Sudamericana with Boca, and the Fifa club world cup in December. Assuming that he performs GREAT in this 2 cups and in Apertura 2007, by December a Big club will show interest?

Atletico de Madrid, said something like if they didnt do good in the 1st games they would buy Riquelme (lol) but then again the transfer window closes the 31st

As far as I know, the big clubs like riquelme as a player, but dont like the personality, as he come strong in the dressroom and kinda challenges coaches a bit, the kind of personality that pissed Pelegrini off.

WHo knows what will happen, for me I more than happy to see him in Boca Juniors !! and I wish they could afford him ehehe, The fans even said they will all donate like money to the club to keep Roman in Boca

Is that what people in Britain think? If so then I am slightly relieved, no one in China thinks he has a future, he was a substitute for the chinese u-20 team during the last fifa u-20 world cup two years ago, when he didn't get any playing time he got pissed at the coach and they had a mini bust up which was when the coach tried to pat him on the back or grab his arm or something he ducked away angrily. His frustration is understandable though because he was trying to get a work permit back then and he definitely was good enough to start, not sure why he didn't.

Well, Roman doesnt fit at all in United, dont you think? would Ferguson really gamble on building a team around the moody Riquelme?

and his playing style doesnt fit Premiership either. I think if this is true, he actually made a wise choice.

I won't go as far as what people in Britain thinks, but me and my friends definately think he is better than everyone we saw at some U21 in france I believe, in around June. That may not be china's first team though as I know other teams went there were not full strength.

Pique (if he stays) and Evans will hopefully be good enough. I actually think they are good enough to start getting first team football and start getting integrated into the team.

It will be so funny if Heinze goes to liverpool just before the deadline close. Anyway, I wonder if it does happen, what will happen when Heinze go back to OT. I remember Figo made some fans throw a pig head when he return to Barca, maybe this will be even better.

Nope.

And apparantly Fergie wanted Rossi to stay, but Rossi wanted regular playing time so he could get a spot on the Italian team for Euro 2008. With Saha/Ole injured, Smith getting sold, and Tevez probably not being able to play until January, United have 1 striker. Rooney.

Oh gosh. -_-

If the thing went to court, it might have been months before it was settled, in which the FA wouldn't allow the transfer to go through as the Aug 31st window would close. Things have been figured out though.

ahhh beating chelsea to take the community shield, what a great start to a new season. Evra/Ronaldo such a deadly combination on the wing. I'd say Evra was MoM for me. I don't get why O'shea still plays, he's so slow and ineffective. Silvestre is not good enough to play vs good teams. Hopefully Pique/Evans will do well. If not we need another defender. I think Rooney really needs another striker who plays higher up than him, he's most effective coming back getting the ball and distributing it or running with it, not playing alone up front. It's one of the main reasons he was inconsistent last season, hopefully Tevez can be that true striker United needs. I like how Ferguson is easing the new signings in. Nani looked a bit lost, his boots might've had something to do with his first few touches. Chelsea didn't play great at all. Their midfield was disorganized and they were missing drogba. Malouda's goal was very nice, the touches he had on the ball and battling away Rio at the first time were world class, and that finish at the end was pretty amazing though it looked like it hurt him. Ferdinand really should've done better though. I think United played much better than Chelsea, if it weren't for their defense and Cech it wouldn'tve gone to penalties. Van der Sar was on fire, it was a deserved win. Looking forward to thrashing Reading and the debuts of the rest of the new signings.

Charlton, who was relegated to the championship, buys Zheng Zhi for 2 million pounds which makes him the most expensive Chinese player ever. The day it was announced which was yesterday, Zheng Zhi's team, the defending champions, lost 1-6 at home.

The chinese national sports bureau forces the chinese football association to cancel the chinese superleague next year from january to august and somehow cram all of its fixtures into september - december with north and south divisions in preparation for the olympics. The obvious classic retarded chinese government decisionmaking it is because no one cares about olympic soccer because it's u-23 so it would barely affect the league. the olympics is held for a month in august, the olympics is held only in beijing, no one cares about the olympics anywhere else in the world except for china, it would completely ruin chinese football. I found this news amusing in a very hopeless and pathetic way. The government controls chinese football, the people who made this decision has obviously zero clue about football and would lay off players for 9 months for something that does not affect them. The olympics is not THAT big of a deal, it's a business opportunity that will bring in millions of revenue that the ordinary citizen will never see. It's humiliating to the intelligence of Chinese people how big of a deal they're making it here. This is so stupid it's funny. I hope people go to jail over this

Real Madrid wants a new pure striker lol, Schuster is a joke. They are looking at Diego Milito.

the best pick for Real would be david Villa, but i doubt they have THAT MUCH to spend.(and valencia would never let him leave). But militio is defenitly a top pick.
So i did a 9 pool on an island map, so what?
