Perhaps buoyed by news that he was close to joining Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon, Fredy Montero turned in one of his best performances of his loan to Millonarios. The former Seattle Sounders forward scored a pair of second-half goals to lead Millonarios to 2-1 win over first-place Santa Fe. At the same time, reports out of Portugal suggest Lisbon is expected to pay $3.25 million to secure Montero's rights. How this news is taken by Sounders fans is highly dependent on previous expectations. It has been widely reported that the Sounders put a more than $4 million purchase fee on Montero's loan to Millonarios. That also was the estimated amount the Sounders would need to secure in order to net the full $650,000 allocation windfall. The reported fee Lisbon is paying is obviously well short of that amount, but it should be enough to net a reasonable sum of allocation dollars. How much, exactly, is unknown but even a couple hundred-thousand dollars would grant the Sounders significant flexibility under a very constrained salary cap. Source | ||

Baines isn't really that much of an upgrade, an upgrade none the less. But for the price they'd want, and the longevity he'd give, and the youngsters he'd stop from coming through and give ideas going elsewhere, hes just not worth it. | ||

Cardiff actually have the financial ability to make these bids. They have that rich Malaysian owner and I wouldn't be surprised if they get some better players | ||

Wouldn't go that far since they've been smart with their money so far, but yes that Malaysian guy is loaded. And he's stated that he wants to buy more players for the season. Maybe 4-5. Rumors were that he'd buy park Ji sung because of the Asian connection(Cardiff bought Kim bo kyung last year) although I doubt it | ||

News AS claim that Sevilla star Alvaro Negredo will shun late interest from Manchester City in order to finalise a switch to Atletico Madrid. Swansea have priced up centre-back Ashley Williams at the £10million mark, which appears to have put off suitors Arsenal and Liverpool. Could Cardiff be prepared to splash out £15million on Benfica striker Oscar Cardozo? Malky Mackay has been quoted in Portuguese daily Record as saying he admires the 30-year-old Paraguay striker. Lyon have confirmed that the club have held talks with Swansea City over the sale of striker Bafetimbi Gomis. Turkey winger Halil Altintop, formerly of Schalke, is back in the Bundesliga. He has left Trabzonspor on a free transfer in order to join FC Augsburg Sunderland have confirmed the signing of centre-back Valentin Roberge on a free transfer following his departure from Maritimo Swansea have tabled a bid believed to be around £8.5million for FC Twente forward Nacer Chadli, according to the Daily Star | ||

And Cardiff have also been heavily linked with former Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt. | ||

I guess due to their poor performances, they might not finish top of their qualifying group and have to go through play offs again. But currently they have a 2 point lead over Russia but have played 2 more games. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(UEFA)#Group_F Russia win 2 games in hand they are 4 points clear, Israel win there 1 game in hand and are 1 point behind them. Portugal are normally always struggling as of late in Qualifiers, for Euro 2013 they got into the play offs on the skin of there teeth, but to then play really well in the tournament. Who knows where they will finish in this campaign though, so i guess thats why there odds are so far out at the moment. Who knows when they win there group and qualify in the summer they might be 20s | ||

I suppose there are high expectations for him in this WC? That's ridiculous, no player no matter how good is able to win a major competition by oneself. Well, even though messi won all by himself la liga this year and proved that he's what's made barca and not the opposite, things are different in a short term cup where people are willing to go all out and man mark you with 3-4 players every game. Having said all that I wouldn't put it past him to guide argentina all the way to the finals. And btw they are playing very very well, this past 1 year, their odds I think are legit and not only cause of messi. Their new manager is doing a good job. | ||
