Napoli claim Manchester City have pulled out of the race to sign Edinson Cavani because of his asking price. "Abu Dhabi (City's owners) say they would never pay €63million (£54m) for Cavani," president Aurelio de Laurentiis said on Friday.

I think they are pretty much limitless, they just don't feel like he is worth that much.

Well korea came back to win 2-1. We seemed to get overwhelmed by cuba's physicality in the beginning, but after that, korea started winning posession and cuba seemed to run out of gas.

great to see korea play the "korean" way after the senior team failed to show anything for the past two years. Playing direct passes that AREN"T long balls, pressing, and of course a few defensive errors and profligacy on goal lol.

You guys need Senol Gunes as coach

You get Jon Obi Mikel instead :3 Ahaha xD
He is pretty much signing according to the press :S

sneijder please he has potential to become another Gala legend like Hagi

i think we're getting jon obi instead Felipe Melo.

I'd love gunes as coach. Another well known Turkish club(forgot name) offered him the job but he is still holding out for the Korea job. Hong myung bo was "confirmed" but i guess not lol.

tbh i cant imagine him training other team than Trabzonspor in Turkey. Trabzon is where he born and he loves team with passion.

i think he will accept S.Korea's offer but lets see

They are limitless indeed, but the reason they don't want to pay that much for him is because they will get raped by FFP
Chelsea signed an illustrious deal with Addidas today, the biggest one we have ever had with them, and its a 10 year deal, so i expect Chelsea will use this and buy a striker with it. I think Cavani is going to end up as Chelsea or Real now. Real have 2 choices as well, Cavani or Bale, as one of them is going to cost a lot!

What would you prefer;

Ronaldo - Benzema - Bale
or
Ronaldo - Cavani - DiMaria

That makes sense.

I'd pick Bale over Cavani just for the fact that I like Di Maria a lot less than Benzema although I am not much of a fan of him either. Bale is also 2,5 years younger so has more potential to grow still.

Either Mourinho really hates Mata or these stories are bullshit. No reason for Chelsea to have any interest in Sneijder when they have Mata, KDB, Oscar, etc., who are all considerably younger than him and (maybe?) on lower wages.

Madrid could afford Bale + Cavani or Bale + Suarez without having FFP issues, but Bale isn't for sale so it's a moot point. Well, I guess with Levy he'll always technically be for sale, but AVB would immediately resign and the season would be ruined.

Both Sneijder and Mourinho have apparently denied the claims as well. I think it's just the press romanticizing again because of how well the Sneijder + Mourinho combination worked at Inter.

Isco to Real Madrid for 20-25M€. Marca/MD saying the same, so it's probably true but you never know with spanish medias.
Marca 'Isco, best player of the european tournament', when Thiago has just received the uefa mvp trophy, classic Marca... Like the time they said Jese was the mvp of the last u19 or u20 tournament, when it was in fact Deulofeu..

Isco has a clause of 35M, that is the minimun anyone has to pay for him, Malaga doesn't have any need of selling so...

PD:Btw, AS and Marca are both newspaper for Madrid fans

So that would be 10 years then. Or almost a generation of football-players.

New York Red Bulls - Lloyd Sam, used to play for Eng U21s and for Aston Villa/Bolton

Bursaspor - Scott Carson, played for England senior team, West Brom and Leeds Utd. Anton Ferdinand, (grr) played for QPR, Sunderland, quite a few teams, Eng U21s never settled anywhere

HSV - Michael Mancienne, Chelsea youth prospect, played for Chelsea first team a few occassions under Ancelotti, played for Eng U21, was captain i believe and was sold to HSV

Marseille - Joey Barton, just Lol

Newcastle Jets - Emile Heskey, Big Emile!!!
