The Sunday Mirror it seems are bored of trying to figure out which players might join Megamoney Manchester City in Janruary, and have decided to just go ahead and make up players.
According to the above picture, they’re now after Carlos Toure of Barcelona. They don’t even mean Yaya Toure, who is mentioned as well. [...]
Deadline Day approaching – Jenas to Inter? Really?
By: Rob | 3 Comments
A fair bit of activity flying around as deadline day appoaches for the big European Clubs. There’s usually a couple of big surprising moves on the last day, and while I wouldn’t expect anything quite like last season’s deadline day, I suspect a few people will be changing clubs at the last minute.
One man [...]

So Shevchenko has finally ended his Chelsea nightmare and rejoined Dynamo Kiev. Once the most feared striker in the world, he never really made an impact at Chelsea, which is a shame because it has tainted his once fearsome reputation, and he seemed to deal with the whole situation with some dignity.
Regardless, there is [...]
Transfer Talk: Zlatan to Barça, Eto’o to Inter? (or: Is One Zlatan Worth Two Eto’os?)
By: Daryl | 23 Comments
Nothing official yet, but it looks like there’s a massive massive transfer deal about to happen, sending Zlatan Ibrahimović to Barcelona, and Samuel Eto’o to Inter. Hence the photo of Zlatan in his car.
The terms aren’t exactly clear either, but based on an AP story and reports in both Marca and AS the deal [...]

Barcelona stood quietly by as Real Madrid raided the bottomless piggy bank in June, but have finally made their first move in the summer transfer market. Not for a splashy big name signing, but for Inter’s Brazilian left back Maxwell, who joins for €4.5m. Much to the surprise of Inter fans.
But it’s not all bad [...]

Patrick Vieira is a cunning bastard. Well past his prime and entering retirement territory as the ability to time a tackle has left him entirely, the only possible way for Patrick, once the most sought after midfielder on the planet, to bump to the head of transfer gossip queues was to link himself to a [...]
Transfer Talk: Didn’t See That Coming.

Even kit number transfers can leave us perplexed. Perhaps the strangest rumor of the day involves, once again, Michael Owen and those blokes from Manchester United. Not only did he get the surprise contract, but he’ll also reportedly be given the hallowed No. 7 previously worn by that greasy chap now residing in Madrid (amongst [...]

This is Adriano Galliani’s world, we’re just living in it. Whilst discussing Milan’s transfer rumor, Uncle Fester accidentally (on purpose) broke the news of a deal all the way up in Germany.
Do you get the feeling Stuttgart’s suits were popping champagne all over one another when this rude little nugget dropped?
“Huntelaar will go to [...]
Transfer Talk: What’s Plan F Again?

Aston Villa, Tottenham, Fulham, Milan…Abby Clancy – what the hell is Peter Crouch’s appeal? Decent targetman, but what about the aesthetics? Football’s a game of beauty – hence that whole beautiful game thing – and Peter Crouch is, well, he’s just not. He’s a 200cm skeleton bumbling up and down the pitch in something of [...]

Chelsea, unaware that no means no, made a silly bid for Alexandre Pato which was firmly rejected (they say “English club”, but they’re not fooling anyone). Then Silvio Berlusconi all but offered up Andrea Pirlo to London due to his silly wages, but Andrea and his hair are not interested in moving away from Milan. [...]

Aly Cissokho, the man with the not-quite-small task of ushering in a new era of a younger Milan, will not be ushering in anything anywhere – though he may be ushered into a dentist’s chair shortly. He failed his medical due to a dental problem. A dental problem which causes muscle deterioration. [...]

Everybody watch out, Fergie’s swingin’ a big stick. With close to €100m euros in his pocket from the impending CRTBA sale, plus whatever was in the coffers to begin with, Fergie will be going on a spending spree to try and replace Ronaldo. The targets who will replace Cristiano’s production on the pitch are Franck [...]

A Spanish newspaper has reported that Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barca for Samuel Eto’o plus cash (€10m or so) is as good as his name. Italian betting syndicates have also closed wagers on any sort of move sending the big-beaked Swede Spain-side, which would indicate somebody knows something.
What the hell’s going on here? We’re not [...]

Love that the Ricky Kaka news is leaking from everyone but Real Madrid, Milan and disreputable news outfits. Today’s poor secret-keeper? The slightly dyslexic Brazilian Football Confederation (or CBF). They’ve released a statement saying Kaka underwent a physical at the request of Real Madrid with all sorts of doctors looking on, whilst Robinho was instructing [...]

Just because a player was once brilliant on the pitch doesn’t mean he’ll be brilliant off it in the front offices. See: Zinedine Zidane.
“Kaka has already signed for Real. I would be happy if he were to take my number, the No 5, I would not be jealous.”
Oops. Kind of moots that whole ‘Monday decision’, [...]
