I think all this back and forth bickering over news posts is pointless. Blue and Tennie, you both do great with keeping everyone up to date with news, especially for those of us that are lazy and find it too much of a hassle to browse around the football gossip sites
Whether the news is legitimate or not will always be up for debate no matter where it comes from. If someone doesn't like the goal.com tidbits they can pass by them, if someone doesn't like the translated versions from the Italian sites you are free to look over them as well.
Lets not get into petty arguments over such things, I know everyone is frustrated with our club's transfer activities or lsck there of. But this is the transfer thread, BS is always going to come out, that's why its called the crazy season.
One other thing lets all respect the efforts of the other members, because no one here gets paid to translate Italian articales that most of us have difficuilty understanding and no one gets paid to keep us constantly up to date with the transfer rumours, from whichever site they might come from

After stunning Juventus to win the 2009 Peace Cup last Sunday, Aston Villa are prepared to pull off another major surprise as reports emerge that they have joined the hunt for Real Madrid’s Wesley Sneijder.
According to AS, Villans manager, Martin O’Neill is prepared to dish out close to €19 million [₤16m] for the Dutch playmaker in an attempt to further strengthen his team to challenge the likes of free-spending Manchester City and compete for a Champions League finish in the Barclays Premier League.
Chelsea and Liverpool have also previously been linked to Sneijder, who is valued at at least €18 million, and there were even speculation a few days ago that he has agreed a switch to Inter, a report which has been denied.
The recent spate of interests and links surrounding the ex-Ajax midfielder’s exit from the Santiago Bernabeu comes as a surprise considering he had vehemently declared his desire to stay at Madrid while coach, Manuel Pellegrini had also told the ‘White House’ that he views the player as an important part of his squad plans.

New reportsLazio's Argentine midfielder Christian Ledesma has been left out from the squad which will face Inter Milan for the Italian Supercup in Beijing on August 8. This is a clear indication that he will be sold.
In the meantime, his agent Vincenzo D'Ippolito told Violanews.com : "Ledesma and I are upset. We have also tried to get a contract extension and Ledesma was open to the idea of staying at Lazio. .... There are no arguments with Lazio chairman Claudio Lotito. We have always been on good terms anyway. In fact, we decided not to use FIFA's article 17 even if we could have. We decided together that Ledesma can leave for 15 million euros. We'll see what happens before the transfer market ends on August 31st".

Following a long summer of transfer turmoil for the Rossoneri faithful, it seems Milan could finally be set for some good news as they look to complete deals on two fronts in a bid to bring long term transfer target Luis Fabiano to the San Siro.
According to Corriere dello Sport, club patron Silvio Berlusconi has called a summit meeting with Adriano Galliani and Ernesto Bronzetti to discover the current status of both sets of negotiations.
With Andrea Pirlo on the brink of sealing his switch to Chelsea, it had been thought the Rossoneri could potentially offer Sevilla Claudio Pizarro in a cash-plus-player deal for the highly regarded Fabiano.
However, with recent reports suggesting the Spanish side have demanded only cash, it seems the Rossoneri are working overtime to try and produce the €20 million needed to bring the Brazilian to the San Siro.
I call bs on this. I doubt fabiano is a target as silvio said hes not paying over 14 m for a 29 year old. He never talked about huntelaar so I think there is more truth there.
QUOTE (MizNelson @ Aug 4 2009, 10:38 AM)

ITALY/ AC MILAN, Closing in on Fabregas
Italian newspaper Tuttosport is reporting that AC Milan GM Adriano Galliani could soon sign Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal after recently meeting with him and the Gunners coach Arsene Wenger. The Spaniard could join AC Milan on a five-year deal at four million Euros per season. More developments are expected in the coming days.

Milan to hold transfer summit
Tuesday 4 August, 2009
Silvio Berlusconi will arrive at Milanello today to discuss the club's transfer policy with Leonardo and Adriano Galliani.
Milan have made just one signing this summer, much to the disappointment of the Coach, the players and the fans.
They expected a lot more, especially after the club sold Kaka to Real Madrid for £56m last month.
Leonardo has asked for reinforcements on several occasions this summer and enjoys the tacit support of Galliani.
They would like an experienced target man to lead the line up front and another body both in defence and midfield.
However, Berlusconi has other ideas. He would like the club to only sign players who are under 23.
La Gazzetta dello Sport believes the summit marks a turning point that could well see Berlusconi open his wallet.
That said, it is a delicate moment for him in politics and he cannot be seen spending vast amounts of money in football when the economy is grinding to a halt.

Pirlo deal gets complex
Tuesday 4 August, 2009
Milan are trying to work their transfer magic, selling Andrea Pirlo to Chelsea in return for cash plus Claudio Pizarro who will be exchanged with Sevilla for Luis Fabiano.
To the dismay of fans who thought Kaka's £56m sale to Real Madrid was enough to kick-start a summer spending spree, it appears Pirlo's departure is now crucial to Milan's transfer strategy.
Chelsea are prepared to increase their offer for Pirlo to £10m, which should give Milan the means to up their own bid for Fabiano.
By getting Pizarro as well, the Rossoneri will be able strengthen their hand even further as the Peru international would provide Sevilla with a good short-term replacement for Fabiano.
Any money left in the kitty looks set to be spent on Real Madrid's Mahamadou Diarra who will take Pirlo's place in the Milan midfield.
The Mali international was a target for Juventus earlier this summer, but the Turin giants ended up buying Felipe Melo instead.
Silvio Berlusconi is due at Milanello at 12:30pm BST where he will hold talks with Leonardo and Adriano Galliani.
Discussion will focus on the club's transfer policy, the direction of which has caused a great deal of friction this summer.

Milan Ready To Offer Arsenal €35m For Cesc Fabregas - Report
The Rossoneri are looking to further deplete the Gunners' squad by taking Fabregas...
Aug 4, 2009 4:12:31 AM
Milan are planning to sign Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas, with Rossoneri club president Silvio Berlusconi having given the move the go-ahead.
According to Tuttosport, vice president Adriano Galliani has a pre-agreement in place with Berlusconi over the Spanish international, and Gunners coach Arsene Wenger has promised he will sell Fabregas to the Italian giants.
The report suggests Milan will offer Arsenal around €35 million for the midfielder. Fabregas will be tempted with a five-year deal worth €4m-per-season. Just weeks ago Berlusconi claimed he wanted players who were under 23-years-old, and Fabregas fits the bill.
A meeting that was scheduled for 12:00 CET today between Berlusconi, Galliani and Leonardo to discuss Fabregas has been cancelled. It has been rearranged for Wednesday.
During the meeting, which has been labelled as a 'G3 summit', the trio will discuss plans for Fabregas, Andrea Pirlo's future and Luis Fabiano's possible arrival.

SOME MORE NEWS AND UPDATES ABOUT FABREGASAs reported by the Turin daily newspaper, the summit between Berlusconi and Galliani Leonardo, could have results really pleasing for the fans rossoneri. The stagnation that has characterized this meeting as the market could suffer a sharp reverse. The slalom of silent Galliani among journalists, hermeticism of Braida and fell on the patron rossonero seem a return to the past, when the days to follow the silence, then led the coup sensational. Tuttosport reveals details "melody" to the ears of fans rossoneri. Berlusconi seems to have put back into the hands availability (speakers) of the leadership, Galliani seems to have an agreement with Wenger to buy Cesc Fabregas, who said the landing in rossonero enthusiastic. The opportunity to burnish the eyes of the world and the people rossonero, the trophy would be "Luigi Berlusconi", match ever heard from the rider, who would not want to see ever marred by disputes or demonstrations of disapproval. . Fabregas Class'87, is an under 23 in all respects and its eventual arrival in rossonero, it would be in the predetermined or 4 million per year of engagement for the next 4 / 5 years. The Berlusconi trophy is just around the corner, fans can really start to dream?
