Steve Finnan has gone to Espanyol, a weird transfer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
It's been revealed that the contract Corluka signed with Spurs was for 6 YEARS! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Sep 1 2008, 04:15 PM |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) HO-LY HELL! Berbatov is a world class signing. I'm sold on Man City. The players theyve been collecting the past two years have impressed me. Eriksson started it and Hughes is continuing it. Man City's Transfer Window: Zabaleta, Wright Phillips, Kompany (why did THEY get him!?!), Ben Haim, Jo, Berba?! for a club like City, these are all 5 star signings! SWP belongs there, Kompany and Jo are WC in a few years, Berba and Zabaleta practically already are..Ben Haim will be a solid addition..their transfer window has been as impressive as ours. Theyve already got Micah Richards, Martin Petrov, and the future Internationals in Joe Hart, Stephen Ireland, Michael Johnson, and Gelson Fernandes (Swiss)...AND ELANO. This team will challenge for honors in the next few years.. QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Sep 1 2008, 08:14 AM) Steve Finnan has gone to Espanyol, a weird transfer.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Espanyol needed cover since Zabaleta left..Liverpool is well covered there...but Finnan in Spain does seems wierd. Corluka's loss does hurt City a lil..but they got Kompany and Ben Haim, so that eases the pain a lil bit. This post has been edited by vnata001: Sep 1 2008, 08:32 PM |

Berbatov is having a medical at United, it's very unlikely he'll even get to talk to Man City - United will drag it out as long as possible.
Man City have a decent squad, but too many foreign players hurt them massively over winter last summer. Will they learn? We'll have to see. Jo is a terrible signing though, he'll be gone soon enough. EDIT: The Berbatov thing is getting ugly. Spurs have said they have NOT given United permission to talk with Berbatov as they've not had a bid accepted yet, but Berbatov is currently having a medical at Man U! United should be deducted points, etc. if this is true. No doubt they'll get away with it though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) This post has been edited by kurtsimonw: Sep 1 2008, 09:14 PM |

QUOTE (acid911 @ Aug 30 2008, 09:38 AM) Inter are in the red by well over €250 million. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I read in Calcio Italia that Inter set a record in being the Serie A club with the most debt. That was in 2006, mind you. |

To be fair to Juve, they did loose a hell of a lot of revenue from the Calciopoli crisis And yes, i never expected to see myself repeating the words "Robinho joins Man City"... |

Although man city have some really good players now..And some good defenders too...All they need now is a really good coach..and they have the much needed depth...don't be surprised if they challenge for the premiership..and guess what they play chelsea next...they recently got shaun wright phillips..I'll say they're a good collection of good players...

QUOTE 01/09/2008 19:29
Bronzetti: Milan Could Have Signed Ignashevich Super agent and Milan transfer consultant Ernesto Bronzetti admits that the Rossoneri where close to signing Russian defender Sergey Ignashevich. Carlo Ancelotti has been looking for a stopper all summer as cover and Ignashevich as well as a host of others were on his list. However, the club failed to push the move through after coming so close to landing him. “Milan were close to signing Ignashevich and they could have got him,” said Bronzetti. The Via Turati based side opted to sign Andriy Shevchenko instead, that meant they used up the number of non EU players spaces hey had, meaning that Ignashevich could no longer arrive. Sceptics have heckled Milan’s transfer policy as they needed a defender rather than a striker and they have come under heavy criticism for failing to bring in the cover where it was needed. The club’s unwise spending in the transfer market seems to have cost them dearly as the defence crumbled against newly promoted Bologna on Sunday afternoon. Milan lost 2-1 as their weak and aging defence couldn’t handle the Rossoblu. Salvatore Landolina |

Well...whatever...I read the article too, not too depressed. I saw his picture. He looks like he walked off 10 rounds toe-to-toe with Mike Tyson. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif)
LMAO @ Chelsea and their Robinho shirts. Talk of getting shot in the foot. Now I'm just thinking how all those Chelsea fans must be feeling in their forums. How they'd post every time, saying we'll buy this player and that player. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And suddenly in comes Man City, and the ground beneath their feet falls. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Anybody got any choice comments? |

Quite Impressive From the Abu Dahbi Company!
They Just Beated Chelsea To Robinho, Something Chelsea hasn't been very Familiar With Since The Roman Came In Charge. Surely Manchester City did quite an Impressive work in the transfer Market, now it is time for the Players To Show thier Qualities. Let's Say, At the End of the Transfer Market, I am not quite impressed with Milan's Transfer Campaign To Be Honest. We didn't get what We need, We Only Got Names. Eventhough The Flamini Purchase was one of the best Milan has ever done, but others dont seem so Close! Zambrotta Truly impressed my in His first Milan Match in Serie A, And Ronaldinho Left me in Awe. However, I"ll Wait and See , And Give My Judgment after the Players are Settled In. In My opinion, ManCity And Chelsea were one of the best in the Transfer Market. Man utd, bough what they really wanted, regardless of the way they Aproached The Player. Tottenham Did fine. Inter Were Impressive. Roma: I"ll give My judgment in the season. |

Not quite sure where to put this - maybe it belongs in the joke thread - but there was a funny story in the Italian papers yesterday. Tiago was due to be shipped out of Juve but turned down offers from Everton and Monaco because he wanted to play in the CL. He got so mad about it that he locked Cobolli Gigli (the Juve equivalent of Galliani) in the men's room at the Juve training grounds. He was stuck in there for the better part of an hour before Del Piero happened to wander by.
