so... Robben costing 20 mil against Malouda costing 17... to me, it's always the same story : French teams don't know how to sell players.
Malouda is 27 though, it gets harder to demand more for a player of that age unless the club are desperate to land the player ie: Drogba to Chelsea. Which seems odd to me given Malouda is about to hit his peak and be an immense player (well, more than usual), I'm sure the demand would've been higher had Liverpool been in a position to sign him but he's come out saying he wants to hook up with Didier again.
Much as I like Nani, I'd have rathered we got Malouda.
This Eduardo to Arsenal deal seems a bit of a weird one, Dinamo Zagreb reckon they've got in the region of £16.75m for him, while the press over here are saying its nearer £8m. The same thing went on with Reyes, it was supposed to have been a £20-odd million deal, when in reality it was £12.5m. I guess the entirety of these deals include add-ons.
I'm suprised Robben is being valued nearer 20m though, he's not done much to increase his stock in the last 2 seasons given he's been injured so much, and he hasn't really improved technically either.
Yeah.. Its seems kinda bad cuz Dinamo now dont have its best striker, but he will make plenty paper, but I think he wont play much, or at all...Quote:

plus this year he was dogged by mourinho because of the formation he played. he needed to have drogba on the field and sheva up top, then he had the two attacking mids, ballack and lampard, with essien and mikel or whoever else behind them. it didnt leave any room for robben. but when he was fit he was always the one they that would come on and the game would change in an instant when he would start making his runs. definatly a good buy in my opinion.
real is going to buy him, almost no doubt about that
Madrid buy players without having a goddamn official coach. Schunster is not confirmed... to me, it's unbelievable, it's like doing the same mistake again and again.
when the coach arrives, he doesn't know the players who were already there, but that's normal. and he has to deal with new players he doesn't even want.
being a Madrid fan, it's strange... to me, there'll be a team like :
sergio ramos-cannavaro-metzelder-marcelo/reyes-gago-diarra-robben/van nistelroy-raul
valuable subs : robinho, cicinho, higuain.
hopefully heinze will join...
but it looks weak somewhere...
robinho over reyes any day of the week.
and did they even buy reyes, or is still owned by ars?
reyes' situation is fucked up. they discussed a contract, i know, and arsenal doesn't want him back.
the reverse situation is true too : madrid don't want baptista back, which is a mistake in my opinion, but whatever.
just heard Lyon's president saying that he's meeting mijatovic for malouda. they sure won't buy both robben and malouda.
the problem with reyes is that he plays right only one game before screwing the next 3 weeks. robinho's good, but he would play more at raul's position i guess.
that kaka wants to leave story was started by the newspaper in madrid AS. milan is just tired now with all the shit they writing. first that picture where they photoshopped kaka with holding in his hands the AS where it said madrid campeone when that picture was taken in april at the milan complex.
another thing they forget is that they shouldnt mess with berlusconi before you know it haha. dude got his mob connections i bet he gonna make offers players cant refuse.
lampard is gonna leave chelsea contract till 2010 or not. he just gonna buy off the remaining years. there is a fifa rule for that, if you over 28 and you played three years at the club you can leave for a minimal fee.
dont get me started on robben. all he can do is dive dive dive. hope he gets crushed by one of the argentinian defenders in the la liga if he goes to spain.
don't need to find an argentinian for that, he'll end up as a piece of roast chicken in a sandwich cooked by cannavaro and metzelder.Quote:

fucking rediculous if that is true. he is not even close to being worth that much.
athletico have just signed diego forlan, so they say that torres is closer to liverpoll. but 58million for torres, is a bit toooooooooo much. i highly doubt liverpool will spend that much on him. i was thinking 30million the most.
like i said, dude has been overrated coz he started at 16... and being captain of Atletico so young gave him such a big head.
he doesn't realize Raul did the same thing, except much much better, and he still is modest and realistic (so to speak).
these days in football a lot of players are overrated reason why u see the high amounts of cash being splashed out. i mean example, darren bent tottenham bought him for 16million. which i find ridiculous. and now 50million for torres is just stupid. the guy is overrated cause if he was a 50million player then athletico would have won something.
£50m including his contract eh? Thats a lot in wages, some sections of the press are saying he'll take a slight paycut in joining Liverpool. They won't pay him more than £70k a week I'd say.
anybody watching the argies against columbia, brilliant shit to watch.
for fucks sake a big club needs to buy requlme, what is the matter with these managers. want to pay all that money for torres but they wouldnt for requlme? dude is sick.
dude is sick in his head too. well, not barton style, but like... one or two depression a year. but he's sure mad talented.

robben at 20m is ridiculous, he has pace but thats about it, hes such a ball hog, real madrid have had enough of them over the years why do they want more? robben is a poor mans robinho
Marca reports Chivu will join Real. Mijatovic was yesterday in Rome at the owners house discussing this transfer. His agent is now in Madrid.
According to them Real offered 15million plus one player which is Cicinho or two surprising names like Antonio Cassano and Fabio Cannavaro. Doubt it that Roma takes Cassano back but I'd like the idea of Canna in a Roma jersey.
luis garcia > atletico madrid, officialy confirmed, liverpool look on the verge of paying £27m for fernando torres, 27m, fuck me, thats an over payment if ever i saw one
Mavuba to Villareal.
hope he'll have opportunities to show his talent.
I like Mavuba, he's a good player. Villarreal will need a striker now that they sold Diego though, a move for Roque Santa Cruz might suit them nicely. Galatasary are linked with him but I dunno, I've always thought he was a good striker on his day. Or maybe Soldado, he did well for Mallorca while on loan last season.
santa cruz? not likely, where you hear this
they need a defenser maybe too. isn't Ayala leaving ? that's the very big loss...
they're gonna activate the argentinian connections once again i guess... anyway, so far, Riquelme is still under contract with them.
i heard Pirès did good since he returned. scoring, assisting.
ayala goes from valencia to villareal. the other defender gonzalo rodriguez is out again with a long injury.
i'm expecting big things from mavuba... and santa cruz wants to play only in italy i understand

well, good thing for villareal defense then.
i think Mavuba can have a Makelele-like career. he's young, huge stamina, technical but not too much, fast. good move for him.
honestly i dont see santa cruz going anywhere, it came down 6 months ago to pizarro or santa cruz and they took a gamble of santa cruz, we just lose roy makaay, that leaves toni/klose/podolski/schlaudraff, schlaudraff is very young, santa cruz has 200 games for us he is a veteran and is a regular no way the board is going to sell him after putting faith in him during his injury lay offs, they would of sold him when he was injured, santa cruz if he wants to leave should show us faith like we showed him
real madrid want both robben and malouda, is there anyone madrid dont want to buy? i read chivu is going madrid aswell
so i hear Pato and Adu are on fire at the U20 championships...
Uh, he's been looking for a club for a while now. He told the German media back in April he inteded to leave. Uli Hoeness told him and Makaay they should look for new clubs at the tail end of last season as well. Why would he stay at a club that never bothers to start him? He's behind Podolski, and the two new strikers they spent big money on to bring in, he clearly isn't wanted.Quote:

at no point did i say you said that, santa cruz said he wanted to leave, he also said if got first team spots he would stay, he got his spot, bayern chose santa cruz over pizarro
lol as a roma fan i love it tho but isn't 18million euros too much for a player that only got one year left on his contract?
and damn ustari going to getafe. loved to see him as first keeper for barca, they were after him but at the end he went to getafe.
Madrid got money, they spend awfully. actually, Mijatovic don't give a fuck, it's not his money. Calderon's either. it's not like the British clubs, owned by billionaires.
at Madrid, and Barça, it's like an association. so nobody's really responsible until it's election time.
well, enough with the details. ok, Chivu will become a Madrid player, which is very good. but i remember a few years back, when Hierro left, Chivu had a foot at Madrid, and finally, they didn't want him, and got Woodgate instead. nice move lol. now he costs 18 million.
anyway... who's gonna play ? Cannavaro ? Metzelder ? Ramos ? Chivu ?

thing with altintop is and his brother as well. inconsistency. altintop has a might right foot. but he doenst use it often. his a big strong winger with a lot of pace. which is rare these days. cause you get the small guy who runs lightening fast. if used properly he can benefit bayern a lot. but sometimes your gonna think why he is playing football, cause he dissapears from games.Quote:

yea, i just read a joke today about riquelme, who's been suspected of taking doping shots... but well, who cares ? who's ever seen riquelme running ?
requlme is so nasty. he embarasses kids. he will get people so mad when they are defending him and hes sheilding the ball, literally impossible to take the ball off. looks like he just walks around sheilding the ball for fun untill he gets fouled sometimes.
