I have always rated Alex, good business by QPR

by **Christopher Flanagan** Sun Jan 15, 2012 6:03 am

I think he's rubbish but it's still a coup for QPR

by **Chris Chan** Sun Jan 15, 2012 6:25 am

He had two good games against us for PSV, that is about it

Also blasted a free kick or two past us

by Vanig Bostanian Sun Jan 15, 2012 6:39 am

One was a free kick, the other was a header.

Not mentioned before:

New Premier League in India. Cannavaro (38) and Crespo (36) to West Bengal (India). Fernando Morientes, Robert Pirès, Jay-Jay Okocha, Juan Pablo Sorín and Robbie Fowler could join the Indian league, too.

Cahill to Chelsea confirmed.

If it's not Pato then it's Tevez to PSG now. Ancelotti wants a striker. Count the days until RvP his on his list.

Berbatov in talks with Bayern and Bayer. Media says first talks were held in Germany yesterday.

This is a very good read of "Why China fails at football."

Cheers man. More people need to read of the football situation over there, and how it is like a cancer that can spread around easily without being noticed and when it hits hard, it's too late to do anything.

Papiss Cisse signs for Newcastle.

another quality striker. Watch him closely if you haven't, he's really good.

by rschalala Wed Jan 18, 2012 6:23 am

fee:12 million €

His stats:
99 matches for Metz - 36 goals
67 matches for Freiburg - 39 goals

He will play Africa Cup for Senegal.

PSG and Tevez are close to reach a deal.

Cisse and Ba could be a good combination for them.

Irony is when Pardew said that Wenger doesn't sign much local talents, and Pardew hasn't bought one since taking over Hughton.

by Sami Rockfeller Wed Jan 18, 2012 7:12 pm

Pardew has learned the folly of his ways. He now follows the rightful path of Lord Wenger.

He said that?

Wenger copped so much criticism over the years regarding lack of english players. He was expected to not only win trophies, modernise the league, but also fix England's lack of development of young players! Big job for 1 man!

The criticism worked though. He will have developed half a dozen players into the national team within a few years..

And Arsenal now has more English internationals than Newcastle.

haha, surely not worth that much??

by Jenks1981 Thu Jan 19, 2012 10:48 am

£83 is a hilarious value

by Samritpal Singh Thu Jan 19, 2012 1:46 pm

The best part is they been banging about it for a year plus, that his value is at least 90mil.

In the summer Anzhi bid for him somewhere around 80mil, only for Porto to pull the plug out at last minute because they wanted a few more million.

by Joey Schwab Thu Jan 19, 2012 2:23 pm

Seriously? That is fucking retarded. There are dozens and dozens of better strikers for 1/4 the price.

Well, if a club has loads of money to spend...

City = Barry, Nasri, Adebayor
Chelsea = Torres, Lukaku

Barcelona = 40mil + Eto'o for Ibrahimovic

by Jason Morrison Thu Jan 19, 2012 8:07 pm

Hulk might score a lot goals but but thats in Portugal! Theres no way in hell he's worth morr than what ronaldo cost, who scores more than him even now in Spain. Maybe 30mil at most! because he is unproven in a top league...

Anyway, No Europe return for Beckham as he re-signs with Galaxy.
