    Winter Transfer Rumours Empty Winter Transfer Rumours

    keep them all here

    According to a report in the British tabloid The Sun, Manchester
    City's wealthy owners are keen to bring Valencia striker David Villa to
    Eastlands and will offer €69 million to secure his services.

    Apparently,
    the player's agent, Jose Luis Tamargo, has already been to Eastlands to
    iron-out a contract for his client with the Blues offering
    €173,000-a-week for five years.

    Valencia are currently third in
    La Liga and while it is unlikely that they will want to sell one of
    their top players during a title push, their poor financial status may
    force them to do so.

    El Guaje (The Kid) has been one of the most
    lethal forwards in Spanish football in recent years and he has already
    scored 12 goals from just 14 games this season.

    While the former
    Real Zaragoza man has been well known to many fans of European football
    for years, he came to the attention of a wider audience this summer
    when he helped guide Spain to the Euro 2008 title, finishing as the
    tournament's top scorer with four goals.

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    The Daily Mail reports that Manchester City are lining up a €17 million bid for Esteban Cambiasso, the Inter Milan midfielder.
    Although perhaps not a household name in England, the Argentine
    international is widely regarded as one of the best holding players in
    Serie A.
    The 28-year-old has become a mainstay for the Nerazzurri since joining from Real Madrid in 2004, and it seems that City manager Mark Hughes has taken a shining to him.
    Sparky has made no secret of his intention to toughen up the spine
    of his Sky Blues squad, and an energetic yet intelligent player like
    Cambiasso certainly fits the job description.
    It remains to be seen how genuine City's supposed interest is, and
    whether it will affect their long-established desire to sign Lassana
    Diarra from Portsmouth.

    Its probably best if there's just a seperate thread for Man City in all honesty. As get closer and closer to the window they're bound to get linked to every top class player out there.

    17 million Euros for Cambiasso Shocked
    Jose would never sell him for that much! IMO he is a 25 million pound player.

    Excuse me, but has Villa put in a transfer request? What the f@ck is a contract being ironed out when he already has one with Valencia? He isn't going anywhere without asking to leave and even then it should not happen. If that 'story' is true it is blatant tapping up and if not a waste of my time. Grr Grr Grr

    Don't worry man, and don't take everything so personal wave . All this posts are posted here just because we feel you have too good life with all this trips and watching football all over the Europe. So we want you to at least feel more miserable with the "fact" you will lose your top player and will have to watch super duo Morientes/Zigic instead Smile.

    Because of a huge amount of money. It's enough in many of cases...

    But it's because of you lot that Koeman was inflicted on us last season. I think you will find that anything more would result in the shutting down of this board as both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights clearly outlaw the use of cruel and unusual punishment. It is because of such horrible speculation that I have to go on these trips! As for the super duo I used to have sympathy for you over losing the services of Manuel Fernandes, but after reading such filth I can only say Grr Grr Grr

    You are leaving me little option but to go on another trip sooner than I planned. Wink

    Adriano Galliani has revealed that AC Milan are keeping tabs on Liverpool defender Daniel Agger.
    The Danish centre-back, who moved to Anfield in 2006, has been in fine form this season.
    Rafa Benitez recently rubbished reports suggesting Agger wants
    to leave Liverpool, although the 23-year-old has yet to put
    pen-to-paper on a new deal.
    Milan have been monitoring the situation with interest and have
    now confirmed that Agger is one of their targets for the January
    transfer window.
    "We are going to sign a new defender in January, there's is no doubt about that," Milan vice-president Galliani told Denmark's tipsbladet.dk.
    "We have kept a frequent eye on Agger and his situation at
    Liverpool and have of course noticed the problems that Agger and
    Liverpool have on agreeing on a new contract. " We have a list of three or four names that could be used in the defence. Agger is one of those names.
    "We will for sure make a bid for one of them in January."
    Milan are rumored to be considering a bid of 7.5million (£6.6million) euros for Agger.

    Inter will probably be selling players this January, not buying. I think the following will either be sold or loaned out:

    - Crespo
    - Obinna
    - Dacourt
    - Rivas

    However, there is a chance that Inter buys an attacking midfielder. I don't think we need one, but Mou may want that to give his 433 another shot.

    IMO, Inter should just buy one young talented DM. Sell Dacourt, and write off Vieira.

    Shame about Crespo, but I still think he's worth keeping given how unpredictable Adriano is.

    Agree on Dacourt and Vieira. I'm sure PSG wouldn't mind either of those 2.

    Wouldn't sell Rivas and i don't think anyone would buy an injured player. Materazzi is almost finished so he's worth keeping.

    He should try out Jimenez as an attacking midfielder or even in a wide position.

    I would be happy to see Obinna in Everton, and maybe Dacourt too... if he still can move a little bit.

    Yeah, real shame about Crespo. I do really rate him. Mou is totally wasting him, Crespo at the mo is a better option than Adriano.

    I wouldn't sell Rivas either, coz of the age of some of our defenders (Matrix, Samuel, Cordoba)... but he isn't getting any play time with Mou even when fit. A loan deal for 6 months may not be a bad idea.

    Ditto Obinna, he would benefit from a loan deal. He is talented, and I can see him coming back to Inter in the near future.

    Perhaps we should also sell Suazo. Benfica are not using him much (surprisingly), and his value is depreciating over there.

    Dacourt and Vieira days are over, and perhaps we should get a young talented DM instead as a backup.

    Obinna was supposed to go on loan to Everton already but he couldn't get a work permit.

    He'd be more of a partner rather than a replacement for Yakubu though.

    ATM compared to clubs in Inter's stature you are mediocre mate, maybe in a few more seasons when you buy a new team you could compete.

    Goal.com can exclusively reveal that Benfica winger Ángel di María is
    set to become Real Madrid's second signing ahead of the winter transfer
    window.

    Ángel di María is on the verge of completing a deal to join Real Madrid
    from Benfica in the winter transfer window, Goal.com's Spanish office
    has exclusively learned.

    The 20-year-old winger has been locked in talks with Los Merengues in
    recent days and only minor details need to be ironed out before he puts
    pen-to-paper on a move.

    In a busy week for the Spanish champions, president Ramón Calderón
    hopes to add Di María to the squad having already clinched the signing
    of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar from Ajax.

    Goal.com have been told by a reliable source that both Madrid and
    Benfica are happy with the way talks have gone and the player himself
    is excited about the switch.

    Di María's profile fits perfectly with the type of player that Calderón
    stated that the club are looking for as he is young and has been tipped
    to have a very bright future.

    The Argentina international's opportunities at Benfica have been
    limited under Quique Sánchez Flores after the arrival of José Antonio
    Reyes from Real Madrid.

    Last term Di María was a regualr for the Portuguese outfit after
    joining them in 2007 from Rosario Central, the club where he rose
    through the youth ranks.
