ronaldo wont leave. jens lehman might leave. hes admitted to a difficult season so far
-
ronaldo wont leave. jens lehman might leave. hes admitted to a difficult season so far
also lehmann was upset about someone calling his son a nazi during his rugby match and is pissed off about almunia replacing him.
ronaldo really is a shame with his injury problems, its really annoying, a move to the mls would be good for him.
hopefully this is true.
http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=527821
and also read that Milan rejected Toni while he was at palermo then when he moved to fiorentina he became the first player to score 30 goals in 50 years of serie A lol
-
that would be monumental ronaldo for ronaldinho. i wonder if ronaldo still has it though and barca have eto'o, messi, and henry already. i think brazil or the MLS would be ronaldos best bet. dont think he will go to the US though.
yeah jens is a great goalie but hes way too outspoken for my taste and he is easy to piss off on the field. almunia has done an ok job so far

hes turned exactly into the same as oliver kahn did had some amazing seasons but with age became a really clumsy keeper. hes made a lot of mistakes and i can only see him playing now for arsenal if almunia is unavailable to play.
-
true that. almunia has done well so far as well and without all the antics.
-
Is Almunia English?
-
no he is spanish. and now he is better then lehmann. i think he will leave arsenal.
-
I heard a commentator saying he's eligible to play for England? :dontknow:
-
His mother is English and his father is Spanish. He hasn't ever played for Spain. He is eligible.
-
I heard a commentator saying he's eligible to play for England? :dontknow:
he's got an english passport after playing in england for a certain amount of years you can become eligabal to apply which will be available to him by next year.
meaning if theres a regulation on amount of non EU players in the team and they obtain a passport after the time period of being in the country then they can have more non eu players.
i learnt that from championship manager O0
plus almunia hasnt had a cap for spain yet.

Dimitar Berbatov has sensationally told Spurs he would like to join a ‘big’ club — putting Manchester United on red alert. In a bombshell interview with SunSport, the Bulgarian superstar’s agent Emil Dantchev last night revealed: “I have already spoken to the Tottenham chairman, Daniel Levy, and told him that if a club that corresponds to Dimitar’s class and ambition comes in with an offer that suits his current club in January, he would like to be allowed to go. Dimitar is OK at Tottenham. I would not say he is happy. But his performances for the club are a testament to his commitment to the fans and his team-mates. He has never stopped trying and scoring goals to help the team. Fans must understand Dimitar is 27 next month and time is running out for him to play for a club that can match his ambition.”

-
It would be a dream come true if Berbatov came, rooney tevez and berbatov upfront :bowdown:!!.
-
if that becomes reality, manchester will have an easy way to be champions next year.
-
Would he be able to play for us in the CL this year?
-
I hope so, it depends on if hes cup tied.
-
you guys are getting to ahead of your-self this might not happen we just have to kick back and wait :popcorn:
-
I think we will, but Chelsea are going for him too. With Rooney ill, and if Tevez is out for a while, then we'll bring him in for sure.
Ronaldo to Real Madrid?
Real's £45m Ronaldo bid
Real Madrid aim to once again test Manchester United's resolve to keep Cristiano Ronaldo after it emerged they were prepared to pay £45million for the winger. The Spanish club's president Ramon Calderon revealed his desire to land Ronaldo after failing to do so once before when the 22-year-old snubbed him to sign a new five-year deal at Old Trafford. United are certain to turn down any offer, but Real see Ronaldo as the player to return them to Champions League glory. Calderon said: "Who wouldn't want to have in his team a player of Cristiano Ronaldo's amazing talent? He is one of the best in the world." They have been encouraged by the Portugal star's recent admission that he wants to play in Spain while still at his peak.
-
Oh shit, i hope Ronaldo dont go, that would mess up a dream team :'(
-
He still has a lot of years on his contract.
-
oh shit i hope Ronaldo doesn't go his to gay for Madrid

Ramos Confident In Berbatov Stay Juande Ramos has dismissed speculation that star striker Dimitar Berbatov is almost certain to leave Tottenham during the January transfer window.
Ramos Confident In Berbatov Stay
The Bulgarian star’s agent Emil Dantchev has claimed that his client is determined to move to a club 'which matches his ambition', but Ramos is not putting much stock into these words.
"Obviously Berbatov's agent is looking to do his business and has made his comments," said the Spaniard. "But we are happy because we have the player on a contract, and we plan to keep him."
The audaciously skilled forward is widely-known to be high on the list of many top clubs’ wish list, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Milan reported to be heading the queue.
After reiterating his determination to keep the club’s biggest star at White Hart Lane, Ramos turned his attention to the inadequate performance of his team during the 2-1 loss to Aston Villa on New Years day.
"I am not happy because we have come back from a goal down, created chances, and still lost,” he said. “I think a draw would have been a fairer result.
"But in the past few weeks, we have conceded goals from set-pieces, and it is hard to win matches conceding as many as we do from those sort of positions.
"We are lacking in some defensive departments, and it is something we need to look at. We are paying for lapses.
"We need to find a solution to our defensive problems. If we can't sort the problems out with the players we already have here, we will look outside for other players."
-
There have been rumors floating around about Brad Guzan to Arsenal, Michael Parkhurst to Fulham, Maurice Edu to Aston Villa, Clint Dempsey to a few mid-table EPL clubs.
-
Dempsey will be a much better player if he goes to Villa or Middlesbrough.
I think Dimi is leaving for sure.. but will it be Chelsea or Utd? :saywhat:
-
He still has a lot of years on his contract.
Haha. As if Thierry Henry didn't just finish signing a 7 year deal last year. Contracts do not mean shit, so teams should watch out for quick moves.
-
Well I didn't know that. :biggrin:
But isn't it called a clause contract or something where they are not allowed to leave?
-
Clauses can be anything. There are also options on it. Henry probably had an option or clause that allowed him to leave when he wanted to. Who knows the details of Ronaldo's contract; he won't leave though, not until he wins more trophys.
-
Real Madrid is just talking out of its ass.
Manchester United won't sell unless that 45 million can be put to a better use.
-
Henry signed a 7 year contract last season? Are you sure about that? I just don't see a 29 year old signing a 7 year contract. There was a time when a player signed a 15 year contract from what I can remember. :saywhat:
-
Henry was on Sky Sports with Wenger and he was talking about "Oh i'm staying here, blah blah blah". And yeah it was a 7 year deal that he signed.
Perhaps United wants Kaka instead :booty:
-
United want Anelka, Berbatov, a new left-back and right back, and a new goalkeeper to replace Edwin when he's gone.
-
Anelka himself has confirmed talks with Chelsea.
http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/7627500
-
That would be a major signing for Chelsea, would definetely help them out with all these injuries. Imagine Drogba and Anelka coming at you..

MEGSON: NO ANELKA BID
Bolton manager Gary Megson insists there has been no approach from Chelsea for Nicolas Anelka.
French newspaper L'equipe attributed quotes to the 11-goal striker in which it was claimed dialogue between the two clubs had begun with the opening of the January transfer window.
Megson, speaking after his side's late 1-0 victory against Derby, said: "In terms of Chelsea making contact I am not aware of that, or any other club making contact.
"I am aware of the speculation and have seen the article. But Nic did say if nothing happens he is happy at Bolton.
"It is something and nothing. We will just keep going and try to deal with the speculation that surrounds him."
But Anelka told L'Equipe: "The chairmen (of Bolton and Chelsea) are discussing it. I really hope it happens - and especially that I am eligible to play in the Champions League.
"But until the contract is signed and I am presented to the press in my new shirt, nothing is done."
The former Arsenal striker has also been linked with a return to Manchester City where he played from 2002 to 2005.
And the 28-year-old insists that would not be a step backwards.
"I want to go to a bigger club and that's what City have become under a manager such as (Sven-Goran) Eriksson, who I was ready to join in 1999 at Lazio," added Anelka.
"Staying at Bolton, where I am very happy, wouldn't be a punishment either."
Bolton are expected to ask for 26 million euros for Anelka - 14 more than they paid Fenerbahce for him in August 2006.
And agent Doug Pingisi is sure the in-form frontman is destined to leave sooner rather than later.
"Nico is ready to join a club at the height of his talent and his football," he said.
"I would love to see him sing the Champions League anthem every year."
-
:dontknow:
Anelka is confusing me, first they're talking, and now Megson says they didn't..
-
its all rumors :rules:
-
Yeah pretty much, but is there pictures with it? Like a press conference or something?
-
its Bolton there just in the premier league to make the numbers :zzz:
-
Deco to Premier League?
Barcelona star Deco has hinted that he would be interested in a move to England if he leaves Camp Nou.
The classy midfielder has indicated he could leave Barca at the end of the season if they fail to enjoy a successful campaign.
Deco has struggled for form and fitness this term and he is believed to be considering his future at Barca.
The Portuguese international has revealed he would like to try his luck in England and he believes Manchester United would be an ideal destination if he does leave Barcelona.
Warning
"If we don't win anything this year I will be off," Deco is quoted as saying in The News of the World.
"Playing for Barcelona is a dream that I have realised.
"This is my fourth season and has been a fantastic period in my career but if things don't go well I will be leaving.
"The English league is somewhere I'd like to play.
"You can compare Manchester United to Barcelona."
I think Anderson is just as good as him..

* Player: David Villa
* From: Valencia
* To: Chelsea
* Cost: £20 million
* Source: Mirror
* Likely?: 3/5
"Rumours linking David Villa with a move to England are all too predictable. Valencia are leering from one crisis to another with new boss Ronald Koeman having little obvious idea as to what to do apart from sacking some of the club’s most experienced players so it is a good time for Villa to look elsewhere. Indeed, he is quoted as saying that “it is impossible for me to carry on.”
In previous seasons he would have been linked with Liverpool where Rafael Benitez’s admiration for the player dated from when Villa was still at Real Zaragoza. Valencia’s transfer demands, and the presence of Fernando Torres, have killed off any hopes that there might have been for that particular transfer.
This puts Chelsea in pole position to get him. Their lack of depth in attack has long been suspected and with the injury to Didier Drogba this has been exposed. Even though Andrii Shevchenko seems to be getting back to something resembling his best form, Chelsea need another top quality striker to boost their hopes.
Yet whereas Villa has already made his desire to move to England public, the link to Chelsea appears purely speculative. Their need for a striker is immediate but Villa is unlikely to move in January and, even if he did, he would be cup-tied in the Champions League. So, attractive as the move might be, the rumour doesn’t carry too much weight".
The only way i think david villa will get in, is if Shevchenko leaves chelsea or doesnt get a first team spot, or even Kalou.
-
20 million for Villa is a bargain.
Bolton won't sell Berbatov for anything less than 30 million pounds! :lol:
-
You mean Tottenham. Damn Tottenham. :cursing:
Berbatov = Brown + Money
Brown has tons of experience, he was in the CL 99 for fucks sakes. He can help their defensive problems. Atleast add a spark to it.
-
If I was Tottenham, I wouldn't give my best striker away, and especially not for Wes Brown. Remember, they have Dawson and King waiting to get back to full fitness.

[quote ]
Van Der Vaart:
I Want A Top Club Rafael Van der Vaart is now looking even more likely to leave Hamburg in the summer after admitting that he wants to play for a “top club”.
The Dutch midfielder is widely regarded as one of the continent’s best playmakers and has attracted the attention of a host of top European clubs, including Juventus, Inter and Chelsea.
The Bianconeri are currently seen as the favourites to sign the 24-year-old, and Van der Vaart, who has spoken of his desire to play for them recently, has again signalled his intention to quit Hamburg.
“I want to go to a top club,” declared Van der Vaart. “I want to get to know another country.”
“I hope to win something and finish the season well. I have a contract until 2010. I could leave but then again I could also continue to play here next year.”
Hamburg President Bernd Hoffmann has conceded that it will be very difficult for him to prevent Van der Vaart from leaving at the end of the season.
“Most likely Rafael will leave in the summer,” he admitted.
Van der Vaart, who joined Hamburg from Ajax in 2005, has been in excellent form this campaign and is joint-second top-scorer in the Bundesliga with nine goals.

Nah, those are just my predictions.

yeah grant says he wants anelka by the end of the week, L. diarra wants out at arsenal as well as gilberto Diaby and dinelson. savage has taken a pay cut to sign with derby
-
That's not good for Arsenal. I can understand Gilberto wanting to leave but those other guys are still young and they are slowly getting put into the lineup.
-
the anelka deal seems pretty much sealed. i hope drogba leaves he doesn't deserve to be in a club with that kind of mangment
-
Chelsea got Anelka? :saywhat:
-
its most probably in talks at the moment but looking likely that he will sign for chelsea.
does anybody think derby stand a chance if they make some extra signings?
savage
laurent robert

To avoid relegation, maybe, they got to win their matches against other relegating teams and they'll do fine, and with those players it should add some confidence and flare.

Mancini wants to stay
The subject shifted to winger Mancini, who was close to an exit before performing a U-turn and staying on, at least for the moment.
“I spoke to Mancini and he told me he wants to stay," revealed the Roma coach. "We have mutual respect for each other and I believe him.
"I saw him training well this week and the lad has an excellent rapport with the club. As for our transfer plans, if we need reinforcements then we will get them.”
Inter won't be able to repeat it
He also spoke about the unanviable task of catching Inter in the title race.
“If we want to have ambition then we cannot just say we’re going to catch Inter, we have to win the matches on the field,” he opined.
“Inter have not really changed since last season, even if I am convinced they won’t be able to break records again like they did in 2007. We need to put in great performances to take points off them.”

TRANSFER RUMOURS
Manchester United striker Louis Saha is out for the season, which could lead Sir Alex Ferguson to act in the transfer window and move for long-term target Klaas Jan Huntelaar. (News of the World)
Louis Saha has not been ruled out for the rest of the season, contrary to reports in the UK press.
Saha picked up a knee injury in training leading up to Saturday's 6-0 win over Newcastle.
Sir Alex Ferguson said on Friday: "Louis got a knock in training, but hopefully he'll be okay [to play against Newcastle]."
But media reports on Saturday morning speculated that the 29-year-old, who was not included against the Magpies later that day, would not play again in the current campaign.
However, Reds chief executive David Gill told BBC Radio Five Live that the Frenchman has suffered a "slight knock, [but] he is certainly not out for the rest of the season."

Apparently we are bidding for Huntelaar, I hope this is true..
Liverpool, Manchester United and City On The Hunt For Huntelaar A host of Premiership and Serie A clubs had scouts in the stands to analyse gifted striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in Ajax’s game at the weekend, sending rumour mills into overtime.
Liverpool, Manchester United and City On The Hunt For Huntelaar
The likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Rafael Benitez and Sven-Goran Eriksson, along with Juventus’ Claudio Ranieri are all reported to be keen on boosting their attacking line-up with the tall, lanky forward.
Huntelaar did don’t disappoint the eager observers as he netted a brace in Ajax's convincing 6-1 romp over AZ Alkmaar.
Huntelaar, 24, is an established Holland international, has been capped nine times by his country and has an impressive 55 goals from just 66 appearances for the Amsterdam giants following his switch from Heerenveen.
Although Liverpool and Manchester United would probably be Huntelaar's prefereed choice of destination, it is more likely that Manchester City will snare the player.
Benitez has already had the purse strings at Merseyside tightened, as has Ranieri at Juventus. Meanwhile, Ferguson has gone on record to state that he isn't interested in bringing anyone in this month.
However, if his rivals are ready to pounce it may force Ferguson into action as he only has three main strikers available to him at Old Trafford and in Louis Saha he has a forward constantly un-fit and seemingly un-motivated.
Meanwhile, Eriksson has the desire, money and pulling-power to bring in someone of Huntelaar's class, but Eastlands may prove to lowly for the Dutchman when it comes to the crunch.
A move for the instinctive scorer, likened by many to Ruud van Nistelrooy, is likely to cost around £15-18m.

Eriksson has been sensational in bringing new talent. If any other manager was there, it would be just a laugh to hear Hunterlaar going to Man City.
-
wow thisis the first time i am hearing this. is hunterlaar reallygoing to man city. if so i knew it was just a matter of time that another club would get him

Mancini still wants ronaldinho. i hope he does not come.
"Two months ago I said Inter were going to sign Ronaldinho," said Mancini. "And no one believed me, in fact everyone started laughing."
said Mancini

He'd be class there. Maybe Bayern should try and get him. :lol:

Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini is exploring the potential availability of Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.
Controcampo says Mancini has spoken with Italian agent Giorgio de Giorgios about sounding out the possibility of luring Gerrard to the San Siro at the end of the season.
Inter see Gerrard as the final piece needed to rule Europe and are convinced the Reds ace is unsettled at Anfield as they struggle to compete with the Premiership's best. Failure to qualify for the Champions League next season will be all the encouragement Inter need to make an offer in the summer.
Maybe it's time for him to switch? :dontknow:
Hmm, I think Drogba will probably go to Barcelona. Eto'o and him are a magnificent pairing.
-
Eto and Drogba really would be a nice pairing. What would they do with Henry though? Too much attacking power on that team. I think it's their problem this year... too many creative players and not enough strength defensively.
Just look at Madrid. They're most likely going to win it for the second year in a row, and that's primarily because they made their defense very solid.
-
nice words adi so changed my idea of football. jkz
gerrad does look like a person that will move this year. but i am not sure of the club. ronaldinho looks like another player who will leave. he seems like he does not fit in the club any more
-
Maybe a Drogba / Ronaldinho swap would be good. Ronaldinho has wanted to come to the EPL before, and Drogba wants to leave, and tbh Barcelona is his best spot imo.
-
I can see that happening. Liverpool should go for Ronaldinho. They desperately need someone with his creativity.
-
that would be alright but i dont see why ronaldinho wants to go to the worst league EPL.

I can see that happening. Liverpool should go for Ronaldinho. They desperately need someone with his creativity.

Jeez, if that happened, and Ronaldinho didnt leave, Baraca would be so incredibly sick...Ronaldinho-Bojan-Messi-Ronaldo-Henry-Eto'o w/ people like Dos Santos coming off the bench... :bowdown:

Ronaldinho and Deco would leave if Ronaldo was to come.
Borg, I don't think it's $40 million, that's nothing. It's gotta be 40 million pounds.
-
Yeah, pounds. ;)
Deco isn't what we need though. He'll probably go to another club. Right now we just need to find some solid defenders and a good new goalkeeper incase VDS retires.
-
Ronaldinho says no to Chelsea, he said he's not interested. I think he'll probably go to AC Milan. That's what the talk is anyway.
-
I hope he goes wherever Mourinho goes. It'd be interesting to see what he'd do with him.
-
would kaka leave if ronaldinho goes to ac milan, though?
-
i think he would because i sertinly would
-
i thinks ronaldinho leaves barca finishing the season
-
Any source that says that?
I'd love it if he left. It's time for him to move on. Either that or Barcelona needs a new manager. I'd love to see what Mourinho would do with him.

he'd work wonders...I think they should play 'Dinho at center mid. He's great at putting in those thruballs, and then players like Bojan and Messi and Henry and Etoo (holy shit what a lineup) could run on to them
-
That's what we all thought this summer when Henry joined, but look at what kind of performances we are getting out of Barcelona now. :rolleyes:
-

yeah because they're not playing Ronaldinho at center mid. They didnt for Brazil in 06 and look where it got them. I cant believe that barca isnt making good use of their best player (talent-wise)
-
dont forget giovani he has a explosive aceleration on shorts distances but i think he needs more experience and a bit of technical
-
dont forget giovani he has a explosive aceleration on shorts distances but i think he needs more experience and a bit of technical
I've always though he has great technical but needs more determination :dontknow:
-
Henrys never been the same since he left arsenal, doesnt get the support at barca like he did at arsenal......at arsenal they play for the name on the fornt of the shirt....at barca they play for the name on the back!
-
... or it's the simple difference in the way the football is played in Spain compared to England.
The Premiership has a much more direct style of football which often leaves lots of space open, especially behind the defenders. The English clubs push their defensive line up a lot more than the teams in Spain and Italy. This leaves a lot less room for fast strikers to expose in Spain and Italy, therefore reducing the effectiveness of Henry.
:hello:
Anyways, lets get this topic back on track. It's about transfers and rumors.

Sven excited by Man City link with Ronaldinho
Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson admits he would love Manchester City owner Thaksin Shinawatra to buy Ronaldinho this summer following a tenuous link with the under-fire Barcelona striker.
The Brazil forward, currently out injured, could leave the Camp Nou in the summer and his brother and representative Roberto De Assis was entertained at the City of Manchester stadium on Saturday by club directors ahead of the 2-0 defeat by Chelsea.
'It was the first time I had heard such a thing, so I really hope it is true,' said Eriksson.
'We would be able to find a place in our team for him, I can guarantee that.
'I will phone the owners. It was a surprise, but if they want to package Ronaldinho for me I would accept him and be very happy.'
And Eriksson joked about signing another high-profile Brazilian when he added: 'I would be happy to take Kaka at the same time!'
------------------------------------------------
That'd be a hell of a signing but I don't think it will ever happen. Sure hope it does though...

United may be embroiled in a fascinating climax to the current campaign, but Sir Alex Ferguson is already planning to strengthen his squad for next season.
The United manager has assembled a squad of sufficient strength in depth to challenge for the Premier League and Champions League this term, but he has earmarked areas which need further reinforcements.
"I don't need to spend, but I will," Sir Alex is quoted as saying in the News of the World. "I think there is an area where we are short and we can stock up on that a bit.
"It is not easy getting the best players here. But we have to because when you have a lot of quality in your squad you have to be absolutely correct on who you bring in.
"A player has a chance to come to a club like United and he would say 'that's my challenge to be in the team.' That's what good players do."
Sir Alex brought in Owen Hargreaves, Carlos Tevez, Anderson and Nani last summer and, after the quartet's unquestionable success this season, the Scot admits he will have one eye on the future when he re-enters the transfer market.
"I don't think I will bring in as many as last season and if we buy players it will probably be young ones," he said. "This year Tevez, Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson have been really fantastic for us. Those four players have made a big contribution to our season."
---
Hell yeah, I love seeing new players brought in. :biggrin:
-
I can guaranteee it'll be defenders
-
Or Berbatov or Benzema if they're still options, but we don't really need them. A goalkeeper would be ideal.

true about the goalie...and why would we want or need Berbatov? Or Benzema for that matter? The only reason I'd get them is to prevent another one of the big 4 from getting them hehe

Scholes and Giggs won't go.
I can't believe we're keeping Brown, he's good though, so that's cool. Ronaldo must stay, Ferdinand is a must too, and I like the way Carrick plays.
:biggrin:
Liverpool not paying back their loan? Hahaha.
-
I wonder how much of those rumours are true. I think all the Chelsea rumours are crap. No way in hell can they sign Kaka and Messi. :rolleyes:
On the other hand, Man U's targets seem more realistic. Those Sporting boys are great players. They only worry I have is the depth of the team. Too many players can be problematic as players struggle for playing time.

Sporting has been producing great players for years. Figo is from there as well.

Spurs snap up midfielder Modric
Tottenham Hotspur have won the race to sign highly-rated Croatia midfielder Luka Modric for a fee believed to be £15.8million. The club have agreed personal terms with the 22-year-old but must pass a medical.
-
Of course it was going to be an English team that was going to overpay for him. He's a young talent but he's not worth that much money. Tons of teams were after him but nobody wanted to meet the transfer requirements made by the Croatian club. Tottenham dives right in though just like they did with Bent last season. :rolleyes:

Modric is like hundred times better than him. Only time will show is that wasted money, but I say NO,it's not.And they had to buy him before Euro 'cause after it his market value will grow rapidly...
-
16 million pounds is too much though. I know he's good but not that good. He's not fully proven yet. Heck, Bayern bought both Toni and Klose for less than that. :rolleyes:

this actually really sucks. Now Quaresma, one of the best players in Portugal, will ot get that much playing time, or if he does, he'll be playing for a team that I dont like, even though he is one of my favorite players :down:

i know it wont be a good transfer but REAL ROCKSSSSSSSS....... :) :) :)

joao from cska moskow might be on his way to man city for an alleged 25 mill cash raid

Defoe times 2 if you get him. Strongly doubt it though. The guys wants to win every trophy and can be a real dick. I don't see him wanting to bring a team up. He wants to be on the best team in the world at all times. :rolleyes:
-
The only reason I think its possible is because Barca is having a major clearing out this summer. With Rijkaard already gone, and Ronaldinho to follow, Eto'o, Gio Dos Santos, and Deco all could be gone as well.

Chelsea beat Man Utd for Bosingwa with bigger contract offer
www.tribalfootball.com - May 13, 2008
Chelsea outbid Manchester United to land Porto fullback Jose Bosingwa yesterday.
The Sun says Chelsea beat United to the signature of £16.5million Bosingwa by offering almost TWICE as much pay as the champions did.
The Portugal right-back will complete his switch from Porto today and sign a four-year deal paying £80,000 a week.
United - who saw him as a successor to Gary Neville - offered £50,000.
-
£80,000 a week is ridiculous considering the guy got paid around £10,000 a week prior to that. Typical bad English business... :rolleyes:
-
No it's because the top 4 always want to compete and never let their rivals get any good players, even when they don't need that certain player. They overdo it.
-
£80,000 a week is ridiculous considering the guy got paid around £10,000 a week prior to that. Typical bad English business... :rolleyes:
Shut up Adi you bitter man. English clubs can afford to do that as we are the best in the world. Forget Italy, forget Spain. GERMANY??? I heard you say??? Don't be silly. English football is the most passionate, has the best players (and in 2 or 3 years will possess most of the top players in the world) and is the best to watch. Go back and sit in your Bosnian seat and eat German sausage while I watch two english sides in the Champions League Final.....Laters!!!!

Hahaha, I'll also be watching Germany play in the EURO while you'll be having a cup of tea wishing England was in it. :banana:

Different position/type of player

I've always thought that they were relatively similar ever since I watched them in 2006 :dontknow:
They have a similar style of play, but yeah, different positions.

First time I've ever heard that. :biggrin:
The only similarity I see is the skin color and maybe the height.

great first signing for us with one of the Degan twins
Reds swoop for Degen
Dortmund defender to join Liverpool on free transfer
Liverpool have confirmed they have secured the services of Borussia Dortmund's Switzerland international defender Philipp Degen for next season.
The 25-year-old was out of contract with the Bundesliga outfit this summer, meaning The Reds were free to negotiate a deal with him for the start of the 2008/09 Premier League campaign.
The right-sided full-back will battle it out with Steve Finnan and Alvaro Arbeloa for a place in Rafa Benitez's starting XI next term once he completes his switch on 1st July.
Spanish tactician Benitez believes Degen will bring some useful experience to Anfield, as he has played in the UEFA Champions League along with representing his country.
Experience
"Philipp is still young but has gained great experience from playing in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund and on the international stage with Switzerland," he told the club's official website.
"He also played in the Champions League during his time with Basel and so is used to top level football.
"He is an offensive player with great energy and a winning mentality. His strength is going forward and I am confident he will prove to be a quality addition to our squad."
Degen needed no second invitation to snap up The Reds' offer after confirming his belief they are one of the biggest clubs in world football.
He stated: "When I received the offer from Liverpool, there was no doubt I would accept it. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world and I am looking forward to the challenge of playing in the best league there is."

great first signing for us with one of the Degan twins
Are you for real? The guy is average at best. He wasn't even good for Dortmund. Have fun with him...
On another note, Arsenal wants Nasri. I wonder how he'd cope with the physical Premiership style. I guess he'd be OK if Rosicky could fit in just fine.
-
I think Nasri would be good. Wegner needs to invest in a couple of more experienced players though. If you look back at there title winning sides of the past, they had a much stronger back bone.
-
yeah i think its also down to depth. when arsenal had no injuries they were playing well and on top of the table for the longest time. eduardo and sanga go down and it all came tumbling down. at christmas arsenal had the most goals and 10 better points at the same time last year (i think) this year we conceded way to many goals to be proud of the second half of the season. we need a good midfielder and a good back

Ribery reveals Arsenal deal for Nasri
Bayern Munich winger Franck Ribery has revealed France teammate Samir Nasri is on his way to Arsenal.
"It is good for him," Ribery told reporters at France's training camp in Clairefontaine. "It [Arsenal] is a good club with many young people.
"But the English championship is completely different, he will have to adapt in order to impose himself.
"It is damaging to Marseille that Samir leaves - he has lived there all his life but it is important for him to see other places."

How often do you visit ManUtd.com?
-
You all are silly. Don't believe anything on any website. If Ronaldo truely wanted to stay he wouldn't be saying shit like "We will see in the next 2 weeks what happens." Players that say that kind of shit aren't really commited to thier clubs. Again, Henry's bullshit convinced me that players do as they please regardless what kind of contract they are tied into and what thier club and manager thinks.
-
I strongly doubt Ronaldo will leave this year, maybe in a couple years he will, but not yet.
-
I'm just saying there is all this hype of Ronaldo not leaving,It was the same with Chelsea for Robben,And in the end when the money was out Robben left. It could be the same for Ronaldo.
Hleb to Barca.
Sport.es reports that Belorussian winger, Alexander Hleb has agreed personal terms with Barcelona. Hleb is still under contract at the Emirates Stadium and no deal is known to have been agreed by the two clubs. The Spanish daily also thinks that Arsenal could ask for as much as €20 million for their want-away winger.
Alexander Hleb seems to have already been replaced at Arsenal with Marseilles winger Samir Nasri seemingly ready to conclude a deal to the Emirates Stadium. But how he would fit in at Barcelona is another question. The Catalan club are ready to make drastic changes to their squad and let young starlet Giovani dos Santos leave to accommodate a rejuvenated squad.
Apart from Barcelona, it is said that Real Madird and Inter Milan are interested in Hleb. But, the two clubs have been dealt a blow when Barcelona officials traveled to Germany yesterday to talk with Helb. It is thought that Barcelona could make their third addition to the squad this summer with no departures concluded as of yet.
Hleb’s departure further raises questions about the loyalty which players have toward Arsenal. First Matthieu Flamini and now Hleb leave presumably because they look to win some trophies at club level; something that they both failed to do in their spell at Arsenal. It will be curious to see whether Arsenal will be able to keep its other top players if they will still fail to win trophies next season.
-
Barcelona is making some good pick ups already. Hell, the season isn't even over yet.
As far as Ronaldo is concerned, he'll stay for at least another year. There is no way in hell Man U will let him go. If they do, they might as well say good-bye to next years Premiership trophy. They'll hang on to him until he refuses to play. The way I see it, that won't happen this summer.
And how the hell did Wolfsburg get Barzagli?! That's insane... the guy was supposed to go to some big clubs, but he chooses settles for Wolfsburg?!
:saywhat:

Xabi Alonso going to Juventus
Juventus have held talks with Xabi Alonso’s agent yesterday, according to Football Italia. The Spanish midfielder could move to Turin this summer if the two clubs agree a transfer fee, but it looks like personal terms are close to being agreed.
Juventus representatives and Alonso’s agent agreed on the length of the contract, but according to Football Italia a salary has not been agreed. While Juventus are prepared to offer Alonso £2.5 million per year, the Spanish midfielder, who is thought to be happy at Anfield will look for something closer to and annual salary £3 million.
The same Football Italia thinks that a transfer fee has not been agreed between the two clubs with Juventus willing to pay something in the region of £12 million while Liverpool are demanding £18 million for their play maker. However reports in England suggest that a transfer fee of £16 million has been agreed.

Martin Jol not letting go of Van Der Vaart
The Daily Mirror reports that New Hamburger SV coach Martin Jol has vowed to fight nail to keep playmaker Rafael van der Vaart away from Chelsea. However, an exit could be likely due to Van der Vaart’s willingness to leave.
The £15million-rated HSV skipper has so far refused all offers to sign an extension to his current deal, which runs out in 2010.
Despite Chelsea remaining manager-less, the Blues seem set to press ahead with signing the players ex-boss Avram Grant had identified as potential targets.
But ex- Tottenham boss Jol told the German press: “We have to do all we can to keep hold of him.
“He is one of the best five play-makers in Europe and he dictates the rhythm of HSV.”
Rafael van der Vaart, 25, is a superb attacking midfielder who is renowned for his creativity and free-kick taking skills.
The Dutchman made the surprise move to Germany after falling out of favour in the Ajax first-team, and has since re-found the form that once wowed the media and fans alike.
The Daily Mirror claims that Inter Milan and Juventus are also said to be interested in the Dutch midfielder, and if rumours prove true it is unlikely Van der Vaart will remain at the HSH Nordbank Arena for much longer.
If Mourinho goes to Inter,Lampard will follow him there.

Nasri 99% Sure of Arsenal Move
After nearly three weeks of speculation seems that Samir Nasri's move to Arsenal is on the brink of completion as he told RTL that the deal was proceeding “normally”…
Samir Nasri tonight confirmed to French radio station RTL that his transfer to English giants Arsenal is progressing “normally” and the deal should be concluded over the course of the next few days.
Arsenal appear to be linked with every hot young French talent however it appears that there was substance in the rumours that Nasri's could move to north London.
Nasri's interview with RTL was the first time that he has spoken of his move to the Gunners, who he is “99% certain” of joining in time for the start of next season.
The saga started immediately after the final game of the season, a dramatic victory over Strasbourg, when Nasri hinted that it would be his last for Marseille. Speculation that the talented creative midfielder would move to Arsenal was fuelled by his agent and finally the deal is close to being closed.
Marseille's brightest prospect had a highly effective performance in yesterday's 2-0 victory over Ecuador with the French national side, linking well with Nicolas Anelka and Bafetimbi Gomis to act as a catalyst for the opening goal.
Raymond Domenech elected to keep the 20 year-old in his 30 man squad on the back of this showing and other impressive performances towards the end of a season that Nasri helped guide Marseille to third spot in the French league and therefore a potential Champions League berth.
Nasri will turn 21 during the European Championships and will wish to celebrate his birthday with an appearance in the final with les Bleus.
-
Arsenal are anyways out of it now,Everyones leaving.
If Ronaldo leaves then ManU can say Bye-Bye most trophies.
-
how does nasri compair to the other 18-23 year olds in the world like Messi, Ronaldo, Valbueno, Robinho, aguero, capel, torres, fabregas,etc, etc...
-
His a class act and i would rate him equal to most of them you will se his skill next season and i believe he will link well with Fabregas
-
ok sounds good. I cant wait to see it.
-
Nasri is classy.
You should watch him play,Plays great...Hopefully Quaresma will get transfered!!
-
hopefully...
-
Arsenal are anyways out of it now,Everyones leaving.
i disagree only Flamini is leaving plus we all know Wenger will make reat signing with the money he has now
-
Arsenal are still class, footballing royalty.
as much as I hate them, I'll admit that
-
Well,Still,It's been some time since Arsenal have done anything big...
EDIT : Cool I got 6 Karma!! Yay!
-
they had a helluva first half of a season this year, and they have enough talent to do whatever they want

Chelsea sign Jose Bosingwa
LONDON (AFP) - Chelsea signed Portugal right-back Jose Bosingwa from Porto for 16.2 million pounds (20.5 million euros) on Monday.
The 25-year-old agreed a three-year contract with the Champions League finalists and will move to London after competing in Euro 2008.
"Jose Bosingwa has agreed terms with Chelsea Football Club and will join the club after Euro 2008," a statement on Chelsea's website confirmed.
After missing out on the English title to Manchester United on Sunday, Avram Grant's side have gained a small measure of revenge by beating United in the race to sign Bosingwa, who was also attracting interest from Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Bosingwa played alongside his new Chelsea team-mates Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo Ferreira at Porto. But his arrival could spell the end of Juliano Belletti's brief stay at Stamford Bridge after a series of mediocre performances from the Brazilian defender.
Bosingwa was born in Kinshasa, Congo, but moved to Portugal with his parents when he was a child.
His performances for Boavista convinced Jose Mourinho to sign him for Porto in 2003 and he has helped continue the club's domestic dominance as well as winning six caps for Portugal.
He was also involved in a serious car accident three years ago when his jeep skidded off a motorway and rolled down an embankment before bursting into flames. The defender was with four other players at the time, but all survived.
Porto had earlier announced a deal was done in a statement to the Portuguese Stock Exchange: "We inform the market that we have an understanding with Chelsea for the rights to our player Jose Bosingwa for the price of 20.5million euros.

Zambrotta joins AC Milan
Italian fullback Gianluca Zambrotta, who played at Barcelona for two seasons, has joined AC Milan, the Italian first division club said on Saturday, without giving further contract details.
The 31-year-old Zambrotta therefore returns to the Serie A where he excelled at Bari (1997-1999) and then particularly at Juventus (1999-2006).
He left the Turin club in the summer of 2006 for Barcelona following the match-fixing scandal which had rocked Italian football.
Zambrotta was also crowned a World Cup winner with Italy in 2006 and has played 71 times for his country, scoring two goals. On Monday he will fly with the Italian team to Austria for the June 7 to 29 Euro 2008 finals.
Zambrotta's arrival at AC Milan will compensate for the departure of two fullbacks, Brazilians Cafu and Serginho.

Zambrotta To Milan: Official
AC Milan have officially announced their capture of Barcelona right-back Gianluca Zambrotta. The 31-year-old has arrived on undisclosed terms for an undisclosed fee for an undisclosed length of time: all Milan have said is that they've got him!

Manchester United bid for Benzema
Manchester United are set to make a record breaking offer for Lyon’s French star Karim Benzema according to the People newspaper and may be set to offer as high as £30 million for the star.
United are said to be working on a deal to bring Benzema to Old Trafford, however the deal is likely to be delayed due to the upcoming Euro 2008 Championships in which Benzema is being tipped to star in.
Benzema has been rumoured to be top of Alex Ferguson’s wish-list for many months with the striker being strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford back in January.
Benzema, 20, is one of France’s hottest properties at the moment and recently won the prestiged French Ligue 1 Player of the Year award as well as becoming one of the highest paid players in France.
The French star’s preferred role may be up front but Benzema also appeared on both wings for Lyon and would easily fit in with Manchester United’s occasional 4-3-3 tactic. Benzema was said to impress Ferguson through his combination of power and skill.
Portsmouth keen on Shaun Wright Phillips
Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has admitted he would be interested in Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips should the club let him leave this summer according to Sky Sports.
The former Manchester City star has found himself on the fringes of the club ever since joining from City in 2005 for £21 million.
The lack of first-team opportunities has cost Wright-Phillips his place in the England side and the winger was said to be understandably upset when told that he was not featuring in Chelsea’s UEFA Champions League Final squad.
Wright-Phillips recently stated his intention to stay at Stamford Bridge however, many believe it is likely the winger will be persuaded to leave Chelsea in order to seek first-team opportunities elsewhere.
Wright-Phillips, 26, is the adopted son of former Crystal Palace and Arsenal star Ian Wright and brother of Southampton player Bradley Wright-Phillips. The winger is renowned for his pace and dribbling skills and would be a major coup for any Premiership side.
There is sure to be high demand for the winger, should he be ready to leave and Pompey boss Redknapp would relish the chance to bring Wright-Phillips to Fratton Park.
Redknapp told Sky Sports: ” I haven’t spoken to anyone at Chelsea. But I like Shaun, He’s a terrific talent.”
“I wouldn’t know how much Chelsea wanted for him, though, if they were going to sell.”
“Maybe they would want to wait until a new manager comes in. But equally they may not need a new manager to come in before they sell someone. I wouldn’t know how Chelsea run thier affairs.”
“The player may want to wait until a new manager comes in and have a look at things then. But maybe he would look at his situation there and think he wanted to leave.”
“Of course he’s the type of player I would love to have though. He’s an excellent player.”
Arsenal to land "New Zidane"
Arsenal have been linked with numerous midfielders so far this summer, and are reportedly set to land young French star Samir Nasri for £13.5 million.
The young Marseille midfielder seems set to replace Aliaksandr Hleb who is on his way out of the club after Inter Milan expressed interest earlier this season. Arsene Wenger is unlikely to be deterred by the £13.5 million buy out clause in the player’s contract, and it seems increasingly likely that Nasri will join an ever growing list of young French signings by Wenger. Wenger is well known for unearthing young talent, with notable former signings such as Patrick Vieira and Francesc Fabregas.
Talks have reportedly been held with Nasri’s representatives, and his agent Jean-Pierre Bernes has confirmed that a number of clubs have made an offer for the player. Nasri, 20, has caught the eye of many admirers in the past few years, and was notably named French Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year 2007.
Nasri did nothing to calm the speculation surrounding himself by stating, “It is very important [to score] because it is perhaps my last match at the Stade Velodrome” after scoring in Marseille’s 4-3 win over Strasbourg.
-
Awesome, a good young talent.
We're going to be so good in 3-4 years. Better than we are now.

Real Madrid- We can afford Cristiano Ronaldo
Real Madrid general director Angel Arroyo has just recently claimed that the club could afford to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.
For the past two seasons, the Portugese winger has constantly been linked to Real Madrid, and the Spanish giants are doing all they can to unsettle the player away from England.
Reports suggest that it would take a record-breaking £100million to at least get the negotiations going, but even at that amount, Manchester United are unlikely to be interested.
Angel Arroyo stated, “Real Madrid have the solvency and the financial liquidity to be able to take on a signing of the magnitude of Cristiano Ronaldo.”
IMO £100million for Ronaldo,What a waste.
-
What fags, but I guess they really want him. :down:
United have told FIFA I think so they'd stop asking for him.
-
Well,They really want him,If they get him,ManU's trophies go IMO.
ManU are totally dependent on him to score..
-
But I thought you said he wasn't good? :rolleyes:
-
IMO
He isnt good,He's a solo player,He's good for ManU's style of play.
He's got so many goals cause ManU and him play that way.
He plays Solo..
-
IMO
He isnt good,He's a solo player,He's good for ManU's style of play.
He's got so many goals cause ManU and him play that way.
He plays Solo..
whats that supposed to MEAN? have you ever seen the guy play? He assists alot too, and creates tons of plays even when he doesn't score
-
i hope he stays and im a city fan, just for the pure skill and entertainment
-
IMO
He isnt good,He's a solo player,He's good for ManU's style of play.
He's got so many goals cause ManU and him play that way.
He plays Solo..
The only way a bad player would score as many goals would be if the term "solo" means that he's all alone on the field. He does have opposition players to play against you know, so please, shut the fuck up.
Anyways, looks like he's going to Real Madrid ...
-
damn messi vs ronaldo...I want them both on Barca
-
You can't compare Messi and Ronaldo,They both play different places,Different positions.
I find Ronaldo better.Messi just got popular cause of 1 goal which was like Maradona's. Apart from that I haven't seen Messi do too much.
-
You just said you couldn't compare them?
Anyways; apparently we're going for..
Klaas Jan Huntelaar - £20m
Karim Benzema - £25m-£35

altidore to villarreal (to go out on loan to recreativo huelva) -- 10 million (us)
subotic to dortmund -- 5.4 millionish (us)
-
Apparently if Ronaldo wants to leave, then SAF will send him to the reserves.
-
i would doubt that. he's worth far too much
-
He's probably just trying to convince him, but SAF knows what to do. He said he wants Ronaldo to learn to respect his contract.
-
if an appropriate real offer comes through and something like this develops, i think someone will go over his head and sell ronaldo
-
maybe....but then again I think Ronaldo really likes it at Man U, so...

You can't compare Messi and Ronaldo,They both play different places,Different positions.
I find Ronaldo better.Messi just got popular cause of 1 goal which was like Maradona's. Apart from that I haven't seen Messi do too much.
messi and ronaldo play very similar positions. and messi is popular becuase he arguably the best player in the world when healthy. hes not as physically gifted as ronaldo but makes up for it w/ his quickness and balance. i can't believe u can say the only reason hes popular is because of 1 goal...outrageous statement.

Barry Can Go For £14m - Report
Aston Villa now look to be resigned to losing club captain Gareth Barry to Liverpool and have accepted a bid of £14 million, according to a report...
Barry, 27, has risen through the ranks at the club and enjoyed over 10 years in the first team, rising to particular prominence this season, in which he has managed to become a regular in Fabio Capello's England side.
Liverpool registered their interest in the Villa's versatile skipper towards the end of the season to the fury of manager Martin O'Neill, who rejected their offer and slammed the manner in which they had approached the player.
That offer was thought to have been worth £10 million - a part-exchange involving goalkeeper Scott Carson, who spent the season with the Villans - but now, as Liverpool have continued to press and Barry has been lured by the prospect of Champions League football, a fee of £14 million said to have been agreed.
Reds boss Rafael Benitez has his own problems, though, as generating the finances for such a move will not come easily, despite securing a fourth place finish in the Premier League. Immense debts coupled with plans for a new stadium have left the Reds cash-strapped in the transfer market, and Benitez will have to offload some of his fringe players in order to finance the move for Barry.
John Arne Riise, Jermaine Pennant and Peter Crouch are said to be top of the departures list, with the 6'7 striker particularly eager to leave for first team football and Portsmouth favourites to land his services.
Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso is reportedly on the cusp of a move to Italian giants Juventus, and Barry will most likely act as a direct replacement for the Spanish international.
Udinese left-back Andrea Dossena is on the verge of a £7 million move to Anfield, having already completed a medical, with Espanyol's Albert Riera rumoured to be next.

The race for Cardiff City’s teenaged wonder Aaron Ramsey is heating up, and according to latest reports, Everton have had their £5m accepted by the Bluebirds. Manchester United and Arsenal have already made similar bids, with Liverpool reportedly considering making an offer for a player who has been tipped by many to reach Ryan Giggs’ stature.
Cardiff rejected a £1m from a London based Premiership club in June 2007 for Ramsey. Born on Boxing Day 1990, Ramsey became Cardiff’s youngest ever player when he featured as a substitute in their game against Hull City in the 2006-07 season.
United’s bid reportedly allows Ramsey to be loaned back to Cardiff in the coming season, and sources say that it would be the ideal one for everybody in the picture. Ramsey will gain sufficient first team experience in the Championship, and his fitness will not be affected.
Ramsey has already been called to the Welsh senior squad, but has yet to be capped for the Dragons.

Dos Santos confirmed move to Tottenham :down: well maybe he'll actually geet some game play

he would've played at Barca next season, I think. Maybe he wants to be more of a big fish in a small pond instead of a small fish in a gigantic pond (talent-wise).

altidore to villarreal (to go out on loan to recreativo huelva) -- 10 million (us)
subotic to dortmund -- 5.4 millionish (us)
Great move for Altidore. I think it's perfect timing for him and his career. We have seen what Villareal has done with Rossi.
Subotic is another talent. The US should be very happy. He's a Bosnian that lived in my city (Banja Luka). Apparently, he played one season in college in the US before he got picked up by Mainz. Now he's off to Dortmund for a pretty nice fee. He must have some talent. My brother just added him on Facebook. I wonder what he has to say. :biggrin:
Luka Modric will hopefully fit in nicely in England. Lots of teams were after him but nobody wanted to pay the 15+ million pound asking price. Of course, an English team would. :rolleyes:
Dos Santos is another excellent signing for them. They actually got him at a bargain. I really thought Dos Santos was valued higher. I wonder if there something wrong with him that Barcelona is aware of. :dontknow:
Barcelona is starting to look very strong. They have now picked up Daniel Alves. They better not underachieve next season.
I hear if Ronaldo leaves Man U, SAF will ask for Robinho and maybe Sneijder. If they can get those guys and another 20-40 million as planned, Man U would come out as thieves.
Either way, SAF seems to have problems with his players when they are wanted. Instead of finding common ground with them, he tends to go to the extreme, pissing players off. Just look what he did to star players like Ruud, Beckham, and now Ronaldo. He's gotta find a different way of going about things.
-
even so, hes been one of the best managers of the last 15 years, so he must be doing something right. And yes, Barca is looking mighty strong for next season.

After the purchase of Andriy Shevchenko two years ago, many fans would have thought that the Chelsea board would realize buying washed up stars will not take the team forward. But, this morning’s Mail on Sunday reported that Chelsea are considering a bid to bring Portuguese midfielder to Stamford Bridge.
It is reported that Deco would cost Chelsea about £15 million should they manage to fend off interest from Inter Milan. The Barcelona midfielder was told he can leave the Catalan club as they will be looking to rebuild their squad. He will now consider offers from some of Europe’s top clubs.
Should he prefer to move to Chelsea - like the English press is predicting - then the way would be cleared for Frank Lampard to move to Inter Milan. The England midfielder is rumoured to be one of Mourinho’s top targets and given that his contract will run out next summer, he might be able to make this move should Chelsea bring in a replacement.

Manchester United have signed one of Italy’s best prospects in the form of striker Davide Petrucci from Italian club Roma, much to the fury of the Italian club and press, according to the Daily Telegraph.
After just missing out on Welsh starlet Aaron Ramsey, United moved to sign Italian youngster Petrucci and will pay the Rome club a compensation deal worth around £200,000, whilst paying the youngster around £95,000-a-year.
Petrucci, 16, has been labeled as “Italy’s next Francesco Totti” and wowed audiences by scoring 14 goals in 19 matches for Roma’s prestiged youth team, finishing as Roma’s top goal scorer. The star also earned a call-up to Italy’s Under-17 team after impressive performances.
Most of Petrucci’s £95,000-a-year will go to pay for regular flights back to Italy for the youngster, whilst the star’s father has been offered a job as a groundsman at Old Trafford to ensure Petrucci is not alone whilst in Manchester.
However, the move has caused fury among the Italian community and press, with local paper Il Romanista saying: “It is a nightmare, Manchester United have dealt us another low blow, stealing Petrucci from under our noses, probably the best product of our youth system. In three to four years, he will be worth 100 times as much.”
Petrucci, a self-confessed Roma fan, could have possibly made the break into the first-team next season, however with Roma only offering £16,000-a-year to the youngster, United’s big money contract lured the striker away from the Stadio Olimpico.
Bruno Conti, Roma’s technical director, said the club refused to offer Petrucci an improved contract due to the fact that it would upset the other youngsters at the club and the Petrucci would have been given his chance to shine next season with possible first-team opportunities, leading to an improved contract.
Petrucci tried to explain his decision to local press by saying: “A month ago Roma offered me a contract at the minimum rate, without clarifying whether it would be for three or five years,”
” I asked for a bit of time to think about it, Man Utd had already made their proposal, but Roma only gave me three days and left me out of the squad. To a certain extent they closed the door on me while Man Utd opened a big door.”
“You can’t just forget six years at Roma. I was born a Roma fan and I will be one for the rest of my life,” he said. “But this is a great opportunity, I’m going to to the strongest club in the world. It was difficult to say no, even if I would have been very happy to spend my whole career at Roma.”
Petrucci is now set to join United at the club’s prestiged academy on July 1st, where the youngster will begin training with the club.

AC Milan general manager Ariedo Braida has admitted he would like to see Portugal midfielder Miguel Veloso at the San Siro in the future. The Sporting Lisbon player has attracted several suitors this season, with Manchester United reportedly having a bid for Veloso and his Sporting team-mate Joao Moutinho knocked back earlier in the year.

Ronaldo is determined to leave,Real to offer 50M Pounds transfer fee and 300,000 per week!
W T F!!!
Even if SAF puts Ronaldo in the reserves,He's making a loss.
Reports recently suggested that Real Madrid will take their bid for Cristiano Ronaldo straight to Manchester United’s owners to facilitate a deal. Outrageous sums of money have been mentioned in this ongoing transfer saga, but despite this David Gill and Sir Alex Ferguson have stood firm and rejected any possibility of a deal being struck.
Now, Real Madrid want to take it to the next step and they think that a bid for the player could be accepted by the club’s heavily indebted American owners. Real Madrid officials think that the Glazers would be more likely to accept the deal as they look to make money off the club.
But Ferguson has moved to reject those rumours. According to the Daily Telegraph, the Scottish gaffer has threatened the Glazers with his resignation if they accept a deal for Ronaldo. The United fans might also have a somewhat adverse reaction to a potential deal and this would put the Glazers in a pot of boiling water.

Chelsea midfielder and vice-captain Frank Lampard has become Inter Milan’s number one transfer target, according to BBC Sport.
Speculation surrounding a possible move has intensified since new manager Luiz Felipe Scolari joined the club, as rumours suggested that Lampard would be replaced in the team by Portuguese star Deco. Other rumours suggest that Scolari is so keen to keep Lampard at Stamford Bridge that he has ordered the Chelsea board to make Lampard the Premier League’s highest paid player.
New Internazionale manager Jose Mourinho has made no secret of his desire to sign his former midfielder and Lampard is yet to sign a new proposed contract at the club, and is rumoured to be seriously considering a move to join his former mentor.
Inter president Massimo Moratti told Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport: “He’s our number one objective. Mourinho likes Lampard a lot.”
Moratti seemed to play with the media by hinting there may have been talks between clubs saying: “Has there been contact with Chelsea? I think there has but I don’t know yet.”
Lampard’s contract is due to run out next summer and many believe it is unlikely that Lampard will leave the club who have supported him so much through recent troubles. Both club and player were reported to have said that the midfielder is to sign a new contract at Stamford Bridge soon in the next few weeks.
Lampard can go!! We dont want him!! Sign VanDerVaart and nobody gets hurt!

This is a mess, and becoming really ugly.
Fuck. :cursing:

tha'd suck if van der vaart went to chelsea or manutd seeing as i like him

milan are goinfg to get adebayor. and c.ronaldo will surly move. i like the idea of lampad coming but i dont think he will suit the slow paced italian football

We'll hear talks soon because he said he's make a decision when Holland is disqualified. Can't wait to hear his decision now.

-
Chelsea is stupid if they let Lampard go to bring on Deco. And they should keep Drogba. Get rid of Shevchenko!
I didn't think Adebayor was all that great. He's a big powerful guy, but I think he's just a less skilled Drogba. Maybe he'll turn into Drogba in a few years...
-
im an arsenal fan and i dont lie adebayor, been a bigger fan of Bendter meself but hey maybe thats y im not coach :dontknow:
-
Adeybaor is a class player. he is faster then i thought and will be a menece to any club. i think he is avery good player
-
Arshavin wants to move to Spain. He's prepared to turn down German and English clubs for a move to Spain.
-
Arshavin wants Barca but i hope he doesnt go cuz if he does he'll probably not get much playing time and be overshawdowed by "bigger name players" so people wont really know him
-
maybe valencia?
-
man then Villa might be persuaded to stay and Valencia could be back in top 4 in Spain
with arshavin, VIlla, Morientes and co.

yeah that would be a great partnership and silva in the mid

Ron: I WILL come back
Cristiano Ronaldo has phoned Manchester United to say 'I’ll be back'. SunSport can reveal that the Portuguese star dramatically made contact with Old Trafford for the first time in a month. Ronaldo, 23, has given United fans the news they most wanted by informing the club he would be going straight on holiday and would return, as instructed, for pre-season training. His call makes it clear Ronaldo does not envisage any move to Real Madrid in the coming weeks. The player was told he must be back at United three weeks from the day Portugal’s interest in Euro 2008 ended – July 10 – and he has said he will be there.
Thankyou. :biggrin:
-
That's what Beckham said before he moved to Real too. :biggrin:
On a more serious note, I've heard Inter Milan have bought Quaresma, it was even on the news regarding EURO 08 transfer tonight, but I checked it out and nothing has been confirmed yet, there's no news about it on Porto's or Inter's page.

Lampard In Milan To Complete Move
Frank Lampard has arrived in Italy to complete his transfer to Inter. He will receive a whopping 30 million euros over four years, while Chelsea will net 9 million. As a part of the deal, Inter have also agreed to back out of the race to sign Barcelona midfielder Deco...
-
Interesting news on Lampard, Quaresma, and Ronaldo. I like it all.
-
it'll just make next season's champs league great to watch
-
a chaps league wont be a champs league without the stars of barca! and speaking of the devils they want Arsenals top striker. hed better not go if he knows whats good for him. few arsenal players have left arsenal and done better than they have at arsenal.

Elmander: Bolton move right for me
Bolton's record signing Johan Elmander insists he 'knew it was right' to join the Trotters as he felt 'positive energy' surging through him.

i HOPE adebayor leaves, thats jsut how much i dont like him
even though im an arsenal fan
-
Arsenal wants Martins. That could be something special.
Chelsea made a bid around 26 million pounds for Robinho.
-
dont think lampard will do well at inter.
we will just have to wait and see.
and ronaldo is probly having his holiday in madrid :lol:
-
that was stupid of lampard to move to inter. He'll hate it there. He should have stayed with his pal JT. Not happy so far with chelsea. Scolari better do something quick. and it better not involve deco.
Any more news on Drogba?
-
Go Lampard Go!! Go and stink at Inter!! :3some:
Get Van Der Vaart and I'm happy!
Drogba is most probably happy with Scolari coming in and is calm about the transfer.
-
Deco has completed his move to Stanford
-
I think Deco was bought for 12m Pounds. Well good move though.
-
inter got lampard cheap. only 9 million. and that they will not go in the trasfer race for deco
-
I hear Chelsea wants Torres if Liverpool are keen to sell him. I don't think it'd be a good move for him if Drogba stays. Doubt we'll switch to 4-4-2. Haven't played like that in a long time.
-
fat isn't going to inter. hes staying w/ chelsea until next year and mourinho says he will 100% be an inter player next year.

doesnt make sense to me. why not? he was brilliant for us this season. and had the goal of the season
-
his pass percentage was terrible. gave the ball away all the time.
-
not only that but every1 said he did great, well he only did great AFTER RvP left and only for 2 months around the new year, Dec,Jan,and feb.
I say we need a solid striker who we can always depend on to put the ball in the back off the net, maybe a bit older for experiance too.......................ROY MAKAAY
him and podolski were my fav players in fifa 07 and hes a solid forward who can play as a 60+ min sub style
4.5mill would be a good offer
heck even huntelaar would be a great bid
or hatem ben arfa
dam thats what sucks about being a fan, there r so many ppl u want ur club to buy and in the end they dont buy any of those players but some1 else

Did you just base your entire arguement on FIFA 07? Damn, at least base it on the FIFA 2008. :rolleyes:
On a serious note, Makaay is well past his prime. You don't want him anymore.
Chelsea should sell Lampard right now so they can get something in return for him. It'd be better than letting him go for free next season.
-
Zizou are you a Chelsea fan? If so then My Search Ends Here! Anyways,Hopefully we'll sell Lampard soon.
I read Sheva might go to Barca!
And Deco officially completes his transfer to The Bridge.

Yeah unfortunately I'm a Chelsea fan

hahahaha
your an unfortunate fan
Man u r looking at Huntelaar,Pavlyuchenko, and Berbatov. Lyon scraed off Man U because of their Benzema bid. Man U said 60million Euros and the french club said no
im a fan but at the age of 20??? Sorry but i dont think so

not benzema
united dropped out of the race for him after Lyon denied their 32m offer and asked for 40m
schweinsteiger wont go..too many other clubs want him
santa cruz has a bigger chance of going to arsenal
huntelaar is a fairly positive chance
VdV is iffy
-
It's taken from ManUtd.com so anything can happen..
-
There's no way they got all of those players. WTF do they need them for?
-
No, those are the players being scouted.. they haven't come yet.

oh that makes a lot more sense.

all those players would be like 100-150m for all
they dont have THAT much money to waste

Hunter claims United interest
Ajax striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has told Dutch media that he dreams of a potential move to United.
The highly-rated 24-year-old claims that the Reds have voiced an interest in securing his services, following his decision to reject a new contract at the Amsterdam giants.
"I know certain English clubs are following me, like Manchester United, who are very interested in me,' he said.
"I love clubs with great history like Ajax. I also love United. They are a club that make me dream, especially as Ruud van Nistelrooy did great things with them."
Huntelaar, nicknamed 'The Hunter', scored 36 goals in 39 appearances last season as Ajax finished runners-up in the Eredivisie.
-
recently arsenal have been the more interested side in huntelaar
hope the gunners get him
-
im a fan but at the age of 20??? Sorry but i dont think so
Even after buying Rooney at 18?
And what's this with Schweinsteiger? Klinsmann wants to keep him and Podolski for at least a year.
-
schweinsteiger is a great player. he showed it at euro but i'm worried that a big club could ruin his career. i'd stay at bayer until he reaches his top prime at about 26 or so
-
if i was schweinsteiger id leave
hes a top-class player for germany and bayern and time and time again they leave him out of the starting 11. I'd ask the coaches wtf and if they said in the future id ask to leave
-
you ask the coach WTF? and you'll be lucky to ever play untill your contract runs out
-
United have not voiced an interest in Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, according to the Ajax striker's agent.
The prolific 24-year-old claimed last weekend that he knew United were interested in him, and would relish a move to Old Trafford.
However, agent Arnold Oosterveer has conceded that the Reds' supposed interest has yet to yield a concrete bid, or even contact with the striker's club.
"For him, United is a club that is interesting, but unless a suitable club come in for him, he will be at Ajax next season," Oosterveer is claimed as saying in the Daily Mirror.
"There has been no contact between Ajax and United, or United and myself.
"We won't speak to Ajax any more about a new contract because they wanted to put a new clause in it, but he has two years to go.

Sule and moby, you two obviously don't watch Schweinsteiger enough. He's one of the most frustrating players. Bayern is a big club and he doesn't deserve being on a better team. He makes lots of mistakes and isn't consistent enough. He'll have his occasional good game but it doesn't happen often. He plays his best football for the national team and his good games for the German team come about once ever 3 games.
-
exactly Adi, if he plays his best football with Germany thatn y dont they let him play? In stead they put Schneider or some1 else on the right
to me i doesnt seem logical but then maybe the coaches dont like him

exactly Adi, if he plays his best football with Germany thatn y dont they let him play? In stead they put Schneider or some1 else on the right
to me i doesnt seem logical but then maybe the coaches dont like him
He starts 90% of the time for Germany. He also has bad games for Germany, just not as many as he does for Bayern. Schneider deserved to start for Germany a few years ago. If you watched the EUROs you should've notice that Schneider didn't play at all.
And it's not the coaches that don't like him, it's simply the way he plays. If he played the way he did against Portugal and Turkey most of the time, he'd be the star of the team but he doesn't. Schweinsteiger is very important for Germany because Germany lacks talent on the wings. Bayern doesn't have that problem however. We have Ribery playing on the left and then Altintop/Schweini and a few other options out there. It's not as easy for him to break into the Bayern team as it is for the German team, especially when he doesn't play as well as he does during short spells with Germany. It's easier to look good during a 4 game spell compared to a full season.
-
Inter said that they'll buy Lampard for 15m and Adriano - i think chelsea will say yes
Barca want Pavlyuchenko
And Huntelaar looks like a prime candidate for Adebayor's replacement - 18m
And spurs want arshavin now too another 18m bid
-
Sule and moby, you two obviously don't watch Schweinsteiger enough. He's one of the most frustrating players. Bayern is a big club and he doesn't deserve being on a better team. He makes lots of mistakes and isn't consistent enough. He'll have his occasional good game but it doesn't happen often. He plays his best football for the national team and his good games for the German team come about once ever 3 games.
thats why i am saying for him to stay at bayern and develop he carrer a bit more
-
Inter said that they'll buy Lampard for 15m and Adriano - i think chelsea will say yes

I think Chelsea have said yes, it's just down to Lampard..
Huntelaar is coming to the EPL next season for sure I think, it's either United or Arsenal.
EDIT:
Looks like we've snatched Berbatov for 25 mil.
-
15 million for Lampard is a steal.
Berbatov would be a very nice signing for Man U. If he can be a starter, he'll make himself a world class player.
Arshavin says he's very interested in joining Arsenal. That'd be a great fit for him especially if Hleb leaves.
-
We already got Nasri for the wide left so Arshavin could play alongside Fabregas
which would be kickass
RONALDINHO HAS REPORTEDLY SIGNED FOR MANCHESTER CITY
shocker aint it?
-
I'm not believing it til I see quotes and photos.
I think he's going to AC Milan!
EDIT:
Not understanding this.. Berbatov or Huntelaar. Tough call, what do you guys think is more likely?
-
Berba is more likely
I hope Huntelaar comes to Arsenal
-
I've read some interesting articles and would like to share.. Imagine if Henry came to United and we faced Arsenal. :biggrin:
Ofcourse, none of these transfers are going to happen.
Ramos to United?
Spain international Sergio Ramos has said he is flattered by reported interest from Manchester United and will "see what happens" following Euro 2008.
The Real Madrid defender was one of the cornerstones of the club's Primera Liga title defence last season and is a first choice for national team coach Luis Aragones.
Although he stressed he was not angling for a move while his focus was on events in Austria and Switzerland, he was vague about his future following the summer tournament.
When asked about United's interest, he said: "It is a good sign that big clubs are interested in me, but at the moment I am not considering anything.
"I have a good contract with Madrid and I am concentrating on the national team. When Euro 2008 finishes we will see what happens."
Ramos' agent Sergio Bravo did little to quell the speculation by claiming he has a good working relationship with the Old Trafford club.
He said: "It is true that on Monday I was in England.
"I have a good relationship with Manchester United. I sorted the transfer of (goalkeeper) Ricardo to the English club."
A deal could be delicate to broker, however, as United recently reported Madrid to Fifa over claims the Spanish champions have carried out a deliberate campaign to unsettle Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo.
Henry to United?
Thierry Henry was reportedly on the verge of a move to Manchester United two weeks ago - but changed his mind after talks with Pep Guardiola.
The France striker had a disappointing first season at the Nou Camp following his £16million switch to Barcelona from Arsenal last summer.
The main reason for his poor form was being asked to play in an unfamiliar left-wing role by Barca coach Frank Rijkaard, who has since left the club after failing to win any domestic or European silverware.
Guardiola has taken the reins at the Catalan giants, and is believed to have talked Henry out of a £10million switch to Old Trafford.
The Sunday Mirror quotes a source as saying: "Thierry was told by the new coach he didn't want him to leave, that he was going to be a big player for Barca next season and would have an important role to play for them.
"That reassured Thierry - but United were ready to buy him."
Samuel Eto'o and Ronaldinho are widely expected to leave Barca this summer, meaning 30-year-old Henry could become their first-choice striker.
-
if Henry did that all Gunner fans would lose complete respect for him
it'd be a slap in the face to Arsenal and the fans
-
Losing Lamps would be a huge loss. But if he thinks hes bigger than the club, i.e regecting offers even tho the club offerd him a higher salery than Ballack than fine. Lampard has everything he wants at Chelsea and with him on board the future looks bright going on to winning more medals with the club, Chelsea is making history. But if he wants to wine and make demands he can fuck of Chelsea is no place for massive egos, Shevchenko, Anelka, SWP, Joe Cole, Kalu, Mikel ect are all talanted players that don't have the oppertunity he has at Chelsea, they sit on the bench week after week but don't complain because they understand that there is no I in team and everything must be done for the club. If hes thinking about him self than can go away I don't care anymore. This will give Mikel/Deco/Ballack a chance. Plus if this
Adriano roumur is true I would love to see him at our club. :popcorn:
-
adriano is a really good play. i dont want im to leave inter. especially for lampard. adriano was just not in form. if he has strict guid lines not o go out after 12:00 pm or so i think he can return to fitness.
word on the street is mourinho is gay and likes lampard so much that he wants him despretly.
i didn't come up with it, it's just word on the street.
-
Hahaha Adriano is a drug addict, part times alcoholic, and can't remain fit or motivated. How can you not want Lampard? Forget Lampard, to sweeten the deal we will throw in a bag of Doritos and Abromavichis cat give us Adriano.
-
We already got Nasri for the wide left so Arshavin could play alongside Fabregas
which would be kickass
RONALDINHO HAS REPORTEDLY SIGNED FOR MANCHESTER CITY
shocker aint it?
I think Nasri is more suited for the middle. I always thought that was his natural position. Arshavin would be a better winger.
I won't believe the Ronaldinho link yet. Would be great though. Much more interesting than a move to Milan.

Disrespect to Manchester United.
-
that fag doesn't have a name. he stole it from the one and only ronaldo
Amen
I remember when I was young I heard about some new Ronaldo and Ronaldo (real one) was my favourite player (has always been will always be) so when I heard of this I was like "oh my god what kind of a fag would steal someones name?!". Then I got to thing "oh well hopefully he is good atleast". Then I watched him play and I just saw this guy doing dribbles when closest opponent was 10 meters away and as soon as there was body contact this fake Ronaldo dropped to the ground.
Oh holy jesus almighty.....
-
:down:
For the last time, there's no REAL Ronaldo. That's stupid, they're different, they act different, and they don't want to be eachother.

He's doing better than ever if you ask me his large stomach symbolizes his success and the fact that hes eating lobster for dinner. And to see he can still play for one of the largest clubs in the world, larger that United looking like this makes it even more sweeter. Hes an emperor the man is getting paid and hes eating good. I guarantee if Fagnaldo was looking like this he wouldn't even be able to play for Toronto. :popcorn:

WTF does cappelo want from lampard.
-
Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has hinted he is interested in a move to Real Madrid, but poured cold water on the idea he could move to the Bernabeu this summer.
Reports in Spain suggest Madrid president Ramon Calderon, resigned to missing out on Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo, has prepared a big-money offer for the 21-year-old.
But while Fabregas, a product of the Barcelona youth academy, revealed he could move to Madrid in the future, he insists he wants to stay at the Emirates Stadium for the time being.
'I didn't tell Ramon Calderon no,' he told Spanish sports daily Marca. 'I told him that now wasn't the time to go to Madrid. That you are wanted by Madrid, one of the biggest teams in history, is important.'
So Arse better win something this year.. Or Fabs is signing off

yeah its kind of sad. He played so well in the Euro and I thought he was for sure going to Arsenal. Seems like their style of player.
BTW that Giovinco guy looks very promising. Would be good for Arsenal to get him, but they do need some players with experience. I think he could come on as a sub as of right now, but he's not ready to start for them

- Reports in Russia claim Andrei Arshavin will join Tottenham for £19million - but Spurs insist they are no longer interested in the player.
- Arsene Wenger wants Xabi Alonso - but only if Liverpool significantly lower their £18million asking price.
Tottenham doesn't need him. They added Dos Santos and Modric to their already solid midfield. It's not necessary to get him. Instead, they should be looking to spend the money on a very good defender. Their defense will be the difference between a top 5 and mid table finish.
If Arsenal could get Alonso that would be immense. He'd give them the necessary experience and would work well with Fabregas in the middle.

Ronaldo remains a RED.

Hell yeah it would. I thought he was better quality than that. I guess since Valencia has been way underachieving he wants a move?

that lanky guy might be another crouch.

It has to happen. It was obvious when Tottenham didn't even bring him to their game this weekend. I'm sure they are just trying to figure out the figures now. It's going to be a great addition for Man U and a terrible loss for Tottenham.

Breaking Gossip
Bayern Munich have entered the race to sign Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov. (The Sun)
West Ham boss Alan Curbishley is under increasing pressure at Upton Park, with Croatia coach Slaven Bilic interested in succeeding him. (The Independent)
Former Spurs goalkeeping coach Hans Segers has branded Dimitar Berbatov a "a big sulker" and "a loner" who is difficult to communicate with and does not pull his weight - but apart from that.... (Daily Mirror)
-
The SWP and Saha transfers are both very good for the teams they are joining. I think Saha will go on my fantasy team.
The thing about Berbatov at Bayern is crap I think. I haven't heard anything about it from the Bayern side.
On the other hand, Bayern sold Jansen to Hamburg and got Oddo from AC Milan on load. I don't know why the hell we sold Jansen. I don't think he ever got a good enough chance.
-
Pavlychunko got signed by Tottenham.
And apparently Arshavin will stay in Russia. I can't believe nobody snapped him up after all that talk. Zenit must be asking for too much. At least he's playing in the Champions League. He'll have plenty of tough matches to prove himself in.

Official: Menez Joins Roma
AS Monaco have confirmed that Jeremy Menez has joined Italian side Roma after both clubs reached an deal on Thursday evening...
Roma have been after the forward for weeks and they have now finally landed their man after striking an accord with the Ligue 1 side.
Luciano Spalletti has been keen on the 21-year-old striker and the deal happened as the Champions League draw took place.
It is believed Roma have paid the French side around €14m but no details have been released just yet.
A statement on Monaco's official website reads:
"AS Monaco FC and AS Roma have reached an agreement for the transfer of Jeremy Menez. The French striker will now join the Serie A runners up.
"Menez arrived in Monaco in 2006 and he played 64 matches, scoring 14 goals in all competitions with the Red and White jersey."
Menez is one of the most promising young players in French football, with some pundits comparing his playmaking skills with those of Les Bleus legend Zinedine Zidane.
The starlet, who can also play up-front, was signed from Sochaux in order to assist giant Czech Republic hitman Jan Koller.
Menez first hit the headlines in 2005, when at the age of 17 he became the youngest-ever player to score a hat-trick in the French championship.
He will now line up alongside Julio Baptista as the Giallorossi's attacking line up gets even stonger.
-
Interesting signing. I haven't seen him play much, but on Football Manager he's always one of the top young prospects. I don't care what anyone says, but that game is about as accurate as it gets.
-
Pavlychunko got signed by Tottenham.

Tottenham have done really well in the transfer window, they also got Dos Santos and Modric.
:biggrin:

It's official! :biggrin:

That's some nice photoshopping. Those teams better get this deal done quick. They only got 3 more hours to complete the deal.

They also lost Keane and now Berbatov too probably. I think they lost in the transfer window to be honest. The addition of Modric, Dos Santos, and Bentley means less to me than the departures of their top two strikers.
-
Liverpool sealed the deal to bring Spain winger Albert Riera from La Liga side Espanyol for an undisclosed fee. Steve Finnan and Andriy Voronin leave the Merseyside club for Espanyol and Hertha Berlin.
Hahahahahah! Another shit signing by Liverpool. Damn, they can be so proud of their transfer window. Besides an overpriced Keane, they got a shit player from Dortmund (Degen) and now this turd? Well done Benitez... you are continuing your shit form during transfer windows. I guess he can always hand his hat on the signing of Torres. :rolleyes:
-
More interesting transfer news:
Corluka (Man City) ---> Tottenham
Nice addition for the Spurs.
-
Manchester City might grab Villa, what a horrible place for him. He should stay in Spain.
-
I doubt it. I heard he signed a new contract just this past week.
-
Man City made bids for Villa and Mario Gomez. If they got one of them that would be fantastic. They are lacking a nice striker. Their midfield is looking great with SWP back.
-
So the Berbatov deal is pretty much official. He was spotted with Sir Alex and apparently the official Man Utd photographer arrived at Old Trafford just now. (Probably to snap a photo of Berbie signing?)
And apparently Madrid have accepted the bid for Robinho from City.
-
Robinho officially to Man City
Berbatov officially to Man Utd

Both are really good signings, I prefer Robinho at City than Chelsea.
Berbatov is finally here and is wearing #9. :biggrin:

landon donovan to bayern munich (rumor)
jurgen klinsmann "wanted" him. bayern board was wary and offered a loan w/option to buy. landon donovan accepted, mls declined
bayern looking to buy in january
all reported by goff. i do not feel like finding the article
-
I wouldn't doubt it. We need a 4th striker to sit on the bench. This would be a terrible move for Donovan even though a move to Bayern sounds good. He'll sit every game unless two strikers are injured.
-
good move for bayern but noot for the player, klinsmen is just using donovan for assurity if in any case the team is diplited with injuries
-
Unless Bayern plans on selling Podolski to Man City in the transfer window. If Man City offers 25+ million pounds, I can't see Bayern turning down the offer.
-
He'll sit every game unless two strikers are injured
granted, bayern has a hell of a depth chart, but i would not be the least bit surprised to see him go in there and find playing time
-
i really hope podolski doesnt go to man city
i really like that hes on bayern and whenever i play with bayern on games i take off toni and klose :)

Benzema is doing real good for Lyon. He was very good against Bayern. The reason he sucked the left nut at EURO 2008 was because of that dumb coach. He made him play as the target man up top. Benzema comes back for the ball more than Rooney and he's more skilled when it comes to dribbling. In the last game, Benzema came back for the ball and he looked good for France. I think he'd be a great buy for Madrid.
As far as Modric is concerned, I'd sell him for that money right away. Tottenham could use the money to fill other gaps in the team.
-
hmm benzema goin to united??70 million??
-
benzema isnt going to united seeing as he already said he'd rather go to madrid and the Lyon manager said he'd sell Benzema's ears for 40m to UTD
the price is possibly gonna be around 100m
-
Him going to Man U would be very stupid. Not only are they overloaded with strikers, but two of them play very similar to him. He needs to go to Madrid where they really need a new forward.
-
Madrid is in desperate need of someone to partner Ruud. No offense to Raul who had an incredible season last year, but I doubt he'll do it again.
-
yea Ruud has another season in him MAYBE 2 but then he'll retire
he's had a good run tho
-
Cristiano Ronaldo will get a pay rise - if he proves his loyalty to Manchester United. Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes met Red Devils chiefs yesterday to discuss the possibility of a new deal. But United made it clear they will not upgrade Ronnie’s £120,000-per-week contract unless he demonstrates his desire to stay at Old Trafford - and that means all talk of a move to Real Madrid is banned. But the Portugal winger can expect a new mega-bucks deal at the end of this season if he behaves himself and continues to play well. The Premier League champs do not want to put themselves in a position where any top player who is targeted by another club will expect a new deal. That is why Ronaldo has been told he must wait and show his worth in the meantime.
Best way to deal with this in my opinion.
-
yea i read on a few places that it'll be 170,000 pounds a week

What the hell does someone do with that kind of money coming in on a weekly basis?! :saywhat:

Haha, I remember that one.
Check this out: Donovan is one a 10 day trial at Bayern. They are saying it's just for him to stay fit, but we all know that's not true.
Here is a video of the latest Bayern training session. You can see Donovan training with them. Luca Toni and Ribery seem to always have a bit of their own fun at practice as well:
http://www.eyep.tv/1.-bundesliga/fc-bayern-munchen/fc-bayern-aus-dem-leben-der-bayern-profis.html
- Toni's finishing in practice looks too easy!
- It's amazing how many times Ribery touches the ball during their little scrimmage.
- You can tell Donovan is a bit nervous and uncomfortable.
-
every player is like that in a trail game.
why is it that ribery and Toni have one of the best friendships in football
-
Podolski has put in a transfer request. Looks like he'll be in Man City, Tottenham or Cologne this January.
-
I think Donavon should stay with Bayern Munich, maybe this is a sign..
-
what kind of sign?
like a skidmark or a holy thing going on? :cheers:
-
old article, but good info
"Every player here, from No. 1 to No. 22, is a better player," Donovan, the five-time U.S. player of the year, said. "American teams have only one or two really good players.
"I believe I can keep up with the other players, even if I'm not the best player here."
"He has only been here for two days and so I cannot say too much, but what I have seen has been OK," Hoeness said. "He can certainly kick the ball."
"He's the really exceptional player in North America, including Mexico," Klinsmann said. "Landon knows that Europe is where it is at in football, and he has all the qualities to break through in Europe."
http://www.latimes.com/sports/soccer/la-spw-donovan14-2008nov14,0,4176044.story
something else i found interesting:
If he does move to Germany, Donovan, dubbed "Beckham's buddy" by Bild, will find he has to tread his way as skillfully through the media minefield as he does through opposing Bundesliga defenses.
i do not forsee this turning out well. landon has proved that he does not like to take shit from the media

anyway i dont think will suit the premiership

well podolski has to go somewhere because sitting on the Bayern bench week in and out isnt Podolski's style
u need to give him the chance to score for him to actually do it, they put him on in the 78min and expect him to score i mean its a tad much
-
Heard he might come Roma
i think his agent said that
-
Klass Jan Huntelaar is almost certain to go to Madrid
they're having talks and he'll go in the winter market
finally i mean hes 25 and now one has bought him yet

When Toni was out for 2 weeks, Podolski got the chance to start in about 3-4 games but didn't do much with his opportunity. I think he didn't take his chance seriously and Klinsmann didn't start him in the following game even though Toni was still out. He needs to wake up and perform, it's as simple as that. I think he has given up on the team and will get out this winter.
I hope Man City can dish out 15 million pounds. They have the money, so hopefully Bayern will hold on to him until the right offer comes in.
Hopefully Donovan can step up as the 3rd striker. To be completely honest, I'd like to pick up another striker this winter.
-
Huntelaar ---> Real Madrid
-
I think Podolski will go back to cologne in July 09.
-
That's what I read somewhere too. I don't think Bayern can afford to put so much pressure on Donovan. Donovan needs to be the 4th striker, not 3rd.
Bayern is also looking at Zenit's defensive midfielder Tymo. That would be a great signing.

The Passionate Goal-Poacher
New Real Madrid signing, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, has said today that he will play with passion for his new side and should settle well because of the existing Dutch presence at Los Blancos. The player is also excited about returning to the Champions League...
Crespo's Wife In Favour Of Roma Move
Alessia Crespo, the wife of Inter striker Hernan Crespo, is in favour of her husband going to play for Roma and insists that his Lazio past would not be a problem...
Inter striker Hernan Crespo has not seen much time on the pitch this season under coach Jose Mourinho and it is widely expected the former Argentina international will be leaving the club in the near future.
One possible transfer could see him move to Roma as rumours persist that the former Lazio goal-scorer could join the Giallorossi in January. Crespo's wife, Alessia, says she would be in favour of her husband moving back to the eternal city.
"Hernan has a contract with Inter until June and that must be respected. Certainly if interesting bids come in than Inter will evaluate them," she told Radio Incontro.
"Especially if Roma were to make an advance, we would evaluate it very carefully! There would be no problems despite his past with Lazio, he already came back here after playing for Milan. He has always respected everyone, including the Giallorossi fans, we will wait to see what happens."
Some believe that Crespo's lack of playing time could be a fitness problem, but his wife dismissed that possibility.
"I can assure you that Hernan is physically well," she explained to the radio program. "The issue is that Mourinho has been using different tactical choices, that is the only reason Hernan has not played recently."
Crespo may get a chance to play this weekend at the Satdio Olimpico against Lazio as Nerazzurri boss Mourinho has left both Adriano and Mario Balotelli off of his squad list.
Roma close in on Bayern Munich's Podolski
Roma are firming as favourites to land Bayern Munich's German international Lukas Podolski.
Bayern's General Manager Uli Hoeness has reportedly confirmed that Podolski will inevitably leave Munich, but only at the end of the season, ruling out a January transfer.
Roma are likely to meet Bayern's asking price of 10 million euros but will be looking to off-load Menez, who has attracted interest from France and England.
-
those would be big sighnings for roma, but i'm sorry tito they still will not be good enough to catch inter :thumbsup:
-
Haha, 10 million? I think the minimum is 15 mil. Maybe if they throw in Menez + 10 million. I'd like that.
-
i think its hard for Bayern to ask for 15mil when van der vaart went to Real for like 13mil
not only that but Podolski just doesnt wanna stay and he doesnt care where he goes i think
-

I think 15mil is possible. He doesn`t wanna stay in Munich but he does care where he goes. He wants to go to FC Köln (Cologne), but they doesn`t have enough money.
And Nationalteam`s Coach Joachim Löw disadvised him to go abroad.
-
well its kind of mean what they're doing/done to him. They kick him out of starting spot with 2 big signings, barely let him play, and now they're telling him not to go anywhere

Hi guys,
Have you heard the rumors about Ajax' Luis Suarez going to AC Milan for at least €40,000,000? Yes 40 million.
Do you think he's worth that much and do you think the rumor is true?
I think it's great nonsense. He's a pretty good player, but absolutely not worth 40 million.
What's your opinion?

nah, they'd probably let him go for 8 million. he's just worth more in marketing to the galaxy than he is as a player to milan. it's all business. bruce arena probably wants him out to free up some cap space. then, he could actually field a decent team not just david beckham, landon donovan, and a bunch of scrubs.
the mls also has joint ownership of his contract (as they do w/all mls players). if it's not in the best interest of the league, they won't sell him, and w/the visibility that david beckham has given the mls, i don't see them letting him go for a "paltry" 5 million.
the mls is very controlling and rightly so. if they weren't, the mls probably would've already gone the way of the nasl

Kaka to Madrid?
GALLIANI IN KAKA ADMISSION
AC Milan general manager Adriano Galliani has hinted Kaka could move to Real Madrid if Florentino Perez becomes president of the Spanish champions.
Speculation increased about Kaka's future when Milan allowed him to talk to Manchester City about a possible world-record transfer to Eastlands.
The Brazil star opted to remain in Italy but reports suggest Madrid will make a firm attempt to bring him to the Bernabeu this summer.
And Galliani admits it would be tougher to resist an approach from the Primera Liga side if Perez wins the presidential elections.
"I don't want to talk about Kaka, but I can say that with friends like Florentino anything can happen," said the Milan chief in quotes reported by Spanish sports daily Marca.
"Florentino Perez is a great entrepreneur and a good friend and I say that about few football chiefs."

-
Hey all,
I support AC Milan, I really hope they take the championship this year. Football is the best sport, definitely better than Rugby. Oh and I can take anyone in FIFA with Brazil. Ronaldinho is SICK in that game.
-
AC Milan can´t win for their lives
-
Ac Milan will never win with inter around
btw kaka to real is wat i'm dreaming of
-
Frank Rijkaard to Galatasaray :3some:

Bolton Wanderers £6m Swoop For Sporting Lisbon's Miguel Veloso - Report
The Trotters had a £12m offer for the Portugal international midfielder turned away in the January transfer window...
According to a report in the British tabloid The Daily Mail, Premier League club Bolton Wanderers are preparing to make a move for Sporting Lisbon's Miguel Veloso.
The Trotters are thought to have had a bid of around €13.7 million (£12m) rejected in the January transfer window.
However, it is claimed that the greater Manchester based outfit could land the 5ft 11in defensive midfielder for close to €6.8m (£6m) during the close-season, as his contract is winding down.
Furthermore, the seven-time capped Portugal international has received criticism from his team-mates for revealing that he would like to move abroad, a statement that seems to have prompted the Leoes' to be willing to let him go this summer.
"If the coach said that I am up for sale, that is his choice, not mine," Veloso told the Portuguese press.
"He is the coach and the one in charge.
"I think what has been said of me is not correct, maybe they wanted to make me a scapegoat.
"A lot of people have said the same and I only gave my opinion, that I have the dream of playing abroad.
"I do not regret anything of what I said."

kaka officially a Madridista
fuck
now barca might actually draw at santiago bernabeu
:biggrin:
-
you'll be lucky to touch the ball at the bernabeu
-
let's hope c. ronaldo becomes the next galactico :lol:
barca will stay on top again :rockit:
http://real-madrid-news.newslib.com/story/332-3250612/
One thing is for sure, Madrid's spending will not stop with Kaka. They are understood to still be interested in Wigan winger Antonio Valencia, with Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso, Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery and Valencia trio David Villa, David Silva and Raul Albiol also on their radar.
daaamn, if ribery, xabi, villa, silva, and albiol are at real I'll be their fans again
IMO, kaka is enough to help madrid pwn
I just want c. ronaldo out of man u :cursing:
Perez's fantasy team
http://real-madrid-news.newslib.com/story/332-3250620/
-
pele(pato) and maradona(aguero) to chelsea.
i hope these two come to chelsea
-
you'll be lucky to touch the ball at the bernabeu
are you stupid? With Barca's mid, they can keep the ball against any team in the world
hell, even if c ronaldo, kaka, and ribery end up in madrid, barca will still have equal possession
what perez doesn't understand is that the best players in the world can't always play together
nobody in their right mind would want c ronaldo, kaka, and ribery on the same team
there would be no chemistry, because al three like to carry the ball
but anyways, isn't ribery still linked with barca?
-
YEAAAAH!!!! :D RONALDO IS GOING TO REAL MADRID!! :D :rockit: :rockit: :rockit:

haha....this president is really forming a team of stars

-
and i wonder who man united will by with the 80 million
Probably Benzema or Ribery

lulz. florentino perez isn't going to waste money on defenders.
united probably won't go after ribery. he's priced at 65m+ pounds. rumors include luis valencia and benzema. there are also rumors of a nani plus cash deal for joao moutinho
-

Ribery is most likely going to Barca, last I heard

he needs to though, otherwise they just wasted 140 million
-
hopefully the new coach will come in and raise hell until it happens
-
Ronaldo to Madrid LOL!. They have money to spend don't they :saywhat:
-
Since Ferguson have so freaking much money to buy players, he want Antonio Valencia, Karim Benzema and Franck Ribery :thumbsup:
So, this is gonna be cool forward in time!

Ross turnbull is a former boro keeper who warmed the bench whole season.
Daniel Sturridge is 19-year old former man city player,has potential to become worldclass
-
i know who sturridge is, he did good at man city, it was a free transfer yeah?
cause his contract finsihed and man city wasn't paying enough
-

wasnt a free transfer,althogu his contract was up,there's some rule about under 23's.Even if it is a free you've got to pay compensation fee i guess for them raising him and not wasting his talent.It was about 5-7million euros if i'm not wrong
-
oh that good, smart rule, fair
-
yuri zhirkhov is also a chelsea player now. :thumbsup:
-
Roque Santa Cruz to MAnchester City
Seeing the high demand for Santa Cruz shows how crap the English league really is... just kidding. Not sure why Santa Cruz is regarded so highly over there. He had one good opening season because he didn't get injured. Last year was tough for him and so will be this year. Waste of money, really. It's a joke that someone would spend 17 million pounds for him.

Tevez mAn city switch?

Felipe Melo to Juve (sucks for arsenal)
Onyewu to Milan

Fiorentina said the only bid they got was from Juve
-
Onyewu to Milan
that was so random when it came out this morning. he wasn't really openly linked w/milan from what i had seen
-
Felipe Melo to Juve (sucks for arsenal)
Onyewu to Milan
And a whole shitload of rumours
Fiorentina said the only bid they got was from Juve
my mistake i meant the only bid was from arsenal, so i dont understand how juve got him
-
Juve said 20mil and Marchisio (or Marchionni?)
Either way there has been a stitch in the process because whichever player Juve also added to the deal cant agree to terms with Fiorentina's wages or some shit like that
-
lol
i think and hope arsenal get him
-
they wont
word on the street is that the deal is done (probably not 100% tho)
unfortunately it wouldve been the perfect signing to compliment Fabregas and to show that Wenger has completely lost the drive for success
-
i honestly think this si wegner's last year in charge of Arsenal. true legend of the game.
-
nah,he'll be here till the time bendtner becomes a worldclass striker
-
i hope so,
but things are looking blique for him. he hasn't coverd that hole in DM, he hasn't bought any top players
-
Molde FK`s Mame Biram Diouf transfered to Manchester United for about 5 million £ .
He will play for Molde (on loan) until January 2010.

Ibra and eto'o in swap deal plus 40 mil to Inter
looks to be tru
laporta has said ibra is certain to come in the next few days
-
Ibra and eto'o in swap deal plus 40 mil to Inter
fucking ridiculous
-
One of the most lob sided swaps ever. I realize Eto'o is in his last contract year, but 40 million? Also, why is Hleb going out on loan? Sell him if anything... he's not a youngster anymore. I have a feeling Barcelona will get some decent loan fee.

Adebayor --> Manchester City

fucking ridiculous
dont yell at me thats what reports are saying
guardiola has said eto'o should leave the club and barca want ibra so thats a perfect exchange deal and the 40 mil maybe barca are desperate
-
eto'o is much better then ibra
-
guardiola has said eto'o should leave the club and barca want ibra so thats a perfect exchange deal and the 40 mil maybe barca are desperate
i know. that doesn't make that deal any less ridiculous
-
Elm might go to Everton
Kierrson goes to Barca
Berg to Hamburg
-
sick
adebayor to man city? :bowdown:
although, I still doubt that man city will finish in the top 4
awww man.... eto'o pwned at barca
anyways, ibra is still extreme, I guess guardiola was wondering why all the speed at front or something? coz eto'o helped barca, see no reason to take him out
-
apparently the wages he wants are ridiculous
Deal is almost done, players just have to sign the contract and it seems to be finalized
Lorik Cana (Captain of Marseille) goes to Sunderland, after also receiving interest from Everton and Arsenal
-
Huntelaar might go to arsenal 17.3 million
Ibra in Barcelona, Eto'o just arrived in Milan, for medical
-
Ibra officially at the Camp Nou
75,000 fans greeted him and then rushed the field so he had to be escorted away, which is always a good start at a new club :lol:

Hull city sign Stephen H*nt
and why isn't this topic sticky?

An ITK has claimed that Chelsea are on the verge of signing an A class striker for a massive fee. Not sure how true this could be.
I can confirm to you that we are very close to signing an A- class striker from a big club for a massive fee. I do not know who it is I am as lost as you, This news came to me from the scouting department they told me that representitives from our club have boarded Romans plane and flew off. I do not know if it was Italy or Spain. All I know is a big amount of money is being put into Chelseas immediate spending account and that a cheque has been signed by Roman. Hopefully this will be clearer by tomorrow.

Hmmmmmmm
interesting way to end the window

pizzaro joins bremen permanently.

Good to see you back royal

SAF closes the Transfer Window for himself. To be honest I was hoping he'd grab Villa or Silva from Valencia. We're missing that extra spark, but hopefully Rooney and Berbatov can bring it back.

United need to use Macheda often this season.

Some of these big transfers (Robben) require their own threads. Let's keep that in mind from now on. The Club Football section has come to life a bit with the separate game threads. Let's make it happen with transfers and other big news stories as well. :thumbsup:
