Also re Suarez, I really have to wonder at the brain of whoever wrote that bit of gossip (or the milan transfer people who are considering it). Suarez and Huntelaar....really really REALLY don't like each other. One would think that the club would be smart enough not to buy two players who detest each other.
I think you are misinformed about that, Huntelaar and Suarez have always been very friendly with eachother off-the-field. And on-the-field they had great chemistry together and complemented eachother very well. In the beginning when Suarez joined Ajax he played very egotistically (similar to Arjen Robben) with his head down often ignoring the other players and didn't lay off enough in situations where it was clearly better to do so and that frustrated Huntelaar quite a bit because he often positioned himself so that he would be in much better position to score and Suarez is simply not as clinical as Huntelaar. But over time their play together improved dramatically to the point that they could find each other almost blindly and they turned into an extremely effective couple. Suarez would be a great signing for AC Milan, not only for his individual qualities, but also because he works extremely well together with Huntelaar. Ajax will definitely not let him go for the low price that Milan is thinking of though.

I stand corrected. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) My info/knowledge about the Eredivisie is sketchy at best (here in the US we only get one game a week and that's in Spanish, which I don't speak well) and clearly the stuff about Suarez/Huntelaar that I remember is from the early period.

Does Suarez have an EU passport?

Jose Mourinho has told Inter president Massimo Moratti that he wants to sign Real Madrid midfielder Wesley Sneijder, according to AS.

The Portuguese coach has identified the Dutch playmaker as his number one target as he looks to improve his midfield options for the coming season.

However, a potential transfer seems distant at present with the both sides having conflicting views on the terms of the deal. While Los Blancos will look for a fee of around €25 million, Inter apparently deem this sum excessive and prefer a loan deal.

Reports in Marca suggest that the Italian giants already have their sights on an alternative should they fail to sign Sneijder: his international and club team-mate, Rafael van der Vaart.

The 26-year-old midfielder, who has so far failed to replicate his stellar form of Euro 2008 following his move from Hamburg, would be free to leave the Bernabeu for a fee in the region of €13m.

QUOTE
A number of names have been mooted for Inter's trequartista role, with Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart among those to be thrown into the pot, but Inter could shock the world of Calcio by moving for former Milan player Yoann Gourcuff.

The Ligue 1 Player of the Year scored twice for Bordeaux on Sunday as they eased to a 4-1 victory over Racing Club de Lens, and he has shown excellent control and awareness, as well as a knack of scoring some spectacular goals, in the colours of les Girondins.

According to 24oredisport.com, Jose Mourinho has ear-marked the 23-year-old as another option for his attacking midfield position. While Dejan Stankovic filled in the role last season, Mourinho is looking for a more natural attacking midfielder but his search has been fruitless so far.

This could change if he was to move for Gourcuff, who is valued at €20 million by Bordeaux, around €5m more than they paid for him earlier this summer. The challenge of Serie A remains unfulfilled for the Frenchman, who failed to make an impression at Milan prior to being loaned to Bordeaux.

However, after signing a four-year contract with the French champions it will take all of Mourinho’s persuasive powers to tear Gourcuff away from the Aquitaine side.

Roma are continuing to chase a striker and have narrowed their options to Real Madrid starlet Alvaro Negredo and Milan striker Marco Borriello, reports the Corriere dello Sport.

With all the incoming stars at the Spanish club, Negredo is unlikely to find much space, but the club do not want to sell their young striker on an outright basis. However, they are willing to loan the player to Roma, an option the capital club are seriously considering after the player's agent complimented the Italian club last week and hinted that it would be a good destination for his client.

Meanwhile, Marco Borriello may now be surplus to requirements at Milan with the arrival of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, and the Giallorossi are considering taking a chance on the player, who was injured for a majority of the 2008-09 campaign.

Alternatives for the Serie A outfit are Roman Pavlyuchenko of Tottenham Hotspur and promising Siena striker Abdelkader Ghezzal.

Roma have had a fairly quiet summer besides selling Alberto Aquilani to Liverpool, but they have started off their season on a positive note, defeating AA Gent convincingly over two-legs in the Europa League.

Update: Marca "Inter won the derby for Sneijder"

Even the prosecutor of the player, Soren Lerby, confirmed he had spoken with the company Nerazzurri. The cost of Dutch was set at 25 million. Everything would seem to lead to a shift to Inter the food, since the club Moratti has no need to deal with the budget, and also because it could enter into negotiations as a player Maicon, always in sight of Real Madrid.

On the Sneijder thing, we could go for VdV who's a lot cheaper, and we don't have to persuade Real by giving them one of our best players in Maicon, who imo was just as influential for Inter as Ibra was

I agree. I'd prefer vdv on loan than forcing ourselves to pay 20m for sneijder. VDV can be just as good given the opportunity.


I think mourinho has alot of defenders so he doesn't really care.

He has:

Santon
Maicon
Zanetti
Chivu
lucio
burdisso
samuel
rivas
matterazi


He has a very good bench and starting team in defence.
