Football News (Transfers and others)

Pogrebnjak moved from Stuttgart to Fulham last winter.

-Barnetta from Leverkusen to Schalke
-Lucio to Juve
-Juve signs Kwadwo Asamoah (Ghana) for 9 mil and Mauricio Isla (Chile) for 9.4 mil both from Udinese
-Thiago Silva extends his contract until 2017 at Milan (PSG offered 50 mil for him with a wage of 9 mil per year)
-AVB new coach of Spurs

Spurs sack Harry.

A couple of weeks later, Bale extends.

Maybe Bale wanted rid of Redknapp?

Doesn't mean a whole lot but I have a journalist friend who supports Spurs, and he says that he heard from a very good source that Bale didn't sign his contract until he knew Redknapp was leaving.

So Goal-line technology is finally given the green light!

Kalou to Lille

Veloso from Genoa to Dynamo Kiev (7.5mil)

Louis van Gaal new coach of the Netherlands (was it from 2000 to 2002 and they missed the WC 2002 )

Bremen about to sign Elia (Juve)

Giovinco from Parma to Juve (11mil)

Forlan from Inter to Internacional Porto Alegre

Gattuso to Sion, Nesta to Montreal, Seedorf to Botafogo Rio de Janeiro (Zambrotta and Inzaghi still without any club)

Could've been a great signing for us, but heard he's going to china now.

Maxi Rodriguez from Pool to Newell's Old Boys (no joke) in Argentina
Pool signs Borini (21) from Roma -13m

Spurs signs Adebayor and Vertonghen

Park from Manu to QPR

Yilmaz (70 goals in 146 matches) from Trabzonspor to Lok Moscow

Daniel Carvajal (20) from Real II to Bayer Leverkusen

Pranjic for free from Bayern to Sprting

Elia from Juve to Bremen (5.5m)

Hamit Altintop from Real to Gala

Diego Maradona sacked at Al-Wasl (Dubai)

Primera Division:
Barca-Real 6th/7th October + 2nd/3rd March


top rumor:
Ibra + Silva for 65mil from milan to PSG - Berlusconi might say yes

Thiago Silva for 40mil to PSG confirmed

Anzhi signed Lacina Traore (22, striker, Cote d'Ivore) for 18m from Kuban Krasnodar

I think Altintop is a really good player, good buy for Galatasary

Chelsea signing Hazard's 19 year old brother

Chelsea bidding for Lewandowski. How many players are they planning to have in their squad?

Ibra from Milan to PSG - 20m

Luuk de Jong (striker - replacement for Reus) from Twente to Mönchengladbach - 15m

Marco Verratti (19, midfield) from Delfino Pescara 1936 to PSG - 11m

Canales (7.5m) and Gago (3.5m) from Real to Valencia

Naldo from Bremen to Wolfsburg - 5m

Leandro Castan (25, defender) from Corinthians Sao Paulo to Roma - 5m

The regression of Gago has been pretty shocking, given how much he was hyped earlier in his career.

Canales - going back for 7.5??? really...what a steal

It was a ridiculous purchase by Real Madrid anyway and pretty selfish.

They were never going to give him game time and it probably stalled his development, he'll be far better off at Valencia permanently.

The price is irrelevant as RM are funded by mafia/monopoly/unreal money.

Chelsea confirm Oscar capture.

Fuck me they're really going all out with signings, they're like the new chelsea:P...

Meh, so much for fifa fair play...

Pompey on the verge of going bust... that would be a real shame. I've always had a soft spot for them, and really wanted to see us play at Fratton Park

I would say it is a bad sign for Mata.

Not really, unless they go ahead and buy Hulk.

PSG signed Lucas (midfielder, 19 years) for 40mil - move will be done at 1st January 2013 from FC Sao Paulo to PSG

40m for an unproven kid? That's just ridiculous.

Not forgetting that he'll earn 250k Euros per week.

Terrible. Football is dying!

Football's not dying. It's thriving.

Wrote this three years ago. It's still true

Bayern signed Javier Martinez (Bilbao) for 40m. He gets a 5 years contract.
30m paid by Bayern and the rest will be paid by Martinez (2m a year).

Bosingwa to QPR
