Football News (Transfers and others)

Any news regarding Real? They are just selling players (Canales, Gago, Altintop, Sahin, Drenthe altogether for 20m) but did not sign any new one. I mean with Shaqiri joining Bayern there could be the option to sign Ribery. ManU signed RvP - could Rooney be a target for them?

Cassano from Milan to Inter (5.5m) and Pazzini from Inter to Milan (12.5m)

Guarin (11m) and Pereira (10m) from Porto to Inter


Martinez to Bayern (40m) and Llorente to Juve (30m-40m) not yet done. Both left out of Bilbao's squad.

Aly Cissokho from Lyon to Valencia (6m) - replacement for Alba


One week to go...til the window will be closed.

Shakhtar Donetsk forward Eduardo has warned his team-mate Willian that a move to Tottenham would be a bad choice.

The 24-year-old has been strongly linked with a transfer to the Premier League in January following an array of dazzling performances both domestically and in the Champions League.

But, Eduardo, who was an Arsenal player for three year, believes that a move to Tottenham would not be a good one for the playmaker:

“There are three clubs who are big enough and good enough for Willian – Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea,” He is quoted by SkySports.

“I have recommended these clubs – no others. He needs to play at one of the best teams.

“Willian is a complete player now. He is ready to play for a big club and become a really big player.

“He should play at a top, top club because he is a class player. He can play in England, for sure.

“We always talk and watch Premier League games together.

“He asks me about England and the English game and I tell him little things.”

The Croatian striker also admitted that scoring against Chelsea in this week’s Champions League clash between the clubs would be a special feeling:

“I am a Shakhtar player and an Arsenal fan,

“I know if I score against Chelsea the Arsenal fans will be very pleased.”

I love Eduardo. Hope he scores, not one, three tomorrow.

Di Matteo sacked!

WTF is wrong with that club? They're crazy, how can you sack your manager so often. Especially a guy who just won you your first CL and isn't doing SOO bad at the moment. I find it funny that the bookies have J.Terry tipped at 21/1 to take over as manager, haha!

I got a real funny feeling pep is going to take over....or more chance benitez...

BBC reporting rafa is boarding a plane late for Heathrow tonight......

I mean they're out of CL and face City tomorrow. They could lost the whole season in one week...and it's just November.

They won the CL not because of di Matteo. If City will lose tomorrow Mancini is also in some problems.

So, is Defoe as good as Falcao?

Fucing hell Falcao scored 5 today!

and Messi has scored 86 in a calendar year, ridiculous

Apparently another player once scored 107 in a calendar year....


The Football Association of Zambia (Faz)
says it will approach Fifa about getting recognition for striker Godfrey Chitalu's feat of scoring 107 goals in 1972



107....crack that messi lol

Never been to Russia. Don't know any Russians.
Don't know if this is representative of Russian society or not, even though I've read a lot about racism in Russian football- banana throwing ,monkey chanting bullshit etc.

But imagine a society where the main supporters group writes an open letter to their club stating "No n*ggers, no f*gs for us".
Where else in the Western world, or world in general ,would that occur?
Fucked .
Let's give them the World Cup. Thanks, Sepp.

Sneijder to Spurs

The most ridiculous sacking, Adkins has been sacked by Southampton, what is the footballing world coming to?
