you know... they are saying that Bouma actaully may play again this year (I doubt it) because they know who to go to for surgery and physio and stuff..... so they have more efficient way of healing these kind of thigns apparently.

I'm sick confused at Robbie Keane costing 20 million pounds, I mean he's a terrific goal poacher, but he's 28, and I love him but he's not spectacular, at least not anymore. It seems that there are so few proven premiership strikers so whenever they move they always go for a ridiculous amount of money.

Also, United is close to getting Berbatov apparently, but imo Roque Santa Cruz would be a better fit however he does have a history of injuries. and lol at david bentley going for 15 million pounds. English players are soooooo overpriced

Keane 20mil is just... laughable. It is not like Liverpool are not in debt, so why they spend so much is beyound me.
Bentley is apparently the next beckham (WTF is wrong with pundits these days) so 15m is reasonable.

Hmmm, personally I think kuyt is better than Keane cause he's a better partner for Torres. What liverpool needed was a better back 4, specially fullbacks. Instead they splash 20 mil on an aging striker when they already have Torres and then they sell their backup fullbacks. GG Benitez

Benitez just isn't good enough, they should have got rid of him about a year ago.
Keane is a great player don't get me wrong... but definitely not worth it considering his age.

When you consider that Rooney for 30million seemed expensive at the time, when you compare it to this it seems like an absolute steal.

On another signing of note... Ronaldinho at Milan, Flop or No Flop? I love Ronnie, but i believe he'll be just like Bergkamp, unable to play defense in Italy and getting owned.

I can't see Dinho still doing too well unless he goes through a complete transformation, so I guess flop, but there will still be moments of brilliance, hopefully.

I don't want Utd to buy either Santa Cruz or Berbatov, there isn't too much need seeing as we have Rooney, Tevez and Manucho and to an extent Ronaldo (if he still stays.) However if there was some striker to buy I'd rather have someone like Aguero/Huntelaar but that's unlikely, especially with the Tevez pemanent transfer being so expensive.

Actually I don't understand how Liverpool and ManU can spend so much year after year considering how much debt they actually have. I mean, if chelsea is spending then you can't really say anything because the owner might just don't like money, but the company owning pool and manu now actually function on their own and when they spend they just go deeper into the hole.

I'd say their finance teams are probably better at balancing that than us.

UCL prelims crossings came out.

Couple of interesting matches.

Juventus will play Twente, who eliminated Ajax for the UCL prelim spot.

And what is the main dish of this prelims according to uefa.com, Atletico de Madrid vs Schalke04.

Don't know about liverpool's finance but man u hasn't bought anyone so far, last year they did but I'd imagine all the money they made from competitions last season are going into paying their debt. Ticket prices have risen also . It's like a few years ago when they spent 30 million to get rooney which used up two season's of transfer money, the next season all they bought was park I think. Or maybe I got the year's mixed up.

From what i remember, i think ManU's debt is they pay like 12 mil a year till 2032 or something like that. that leaves quite a bit of revenue to spend on transfers. Plus their making Tevez a permanant signing this year for 32 million euros, which is a british record (i think), so they won't have much money for other pursuits (Berbatov?).

As for UCL, isin't Barca playing too? Or is that no this week?
