Monzon seems to be a LB.
Are you disappointed in losing Kompany and VdV in the same season?

not really about losing Kompany cuz he was never able to show his skills in Hamburg. Plus £ 6m for him ain't too bad.

Turner...you like West Ham?

Yeah, been there a few times.

Kompany is to sign for City for £6m ! sounds a great deal to me. How do people think he will do in the EPL ?

Hopefully better than in Hamburg. If not, HSV has made a good deal.

He has the talent, no doubt about that.

He's also a bullhead and can be quite hot-headed (result: stupid red cards) and sometimes tends to come across a little arrogant on the pitch. Which is a shame, because he's quite intelligent actually, you'll see in interviews. But the temper is a problem.

Plus he was injured quite a lot here.

It depends. He's got to drop the attitude, if he wants to be really successful.

I'm still sorry that it didn't work out. I liked him.
But I guess it was the best for both sides to get rid of him now. Maybe he needs a fresh start somewhere else as well. *shrugs*

Dear Celtic,

You could do so much better than Alex Madlung.

Love

But it is only the Scottish league, so they probably don't need to do any better.

Alex Madlung. OMG.

That this guy ever managed to end up in the national team, is a shame. Even though it was only for a few friendlies.

Hamburg are set to complete the signing of Brazil defender Alex Silva from Sao Paulo later this week.

Hamburg sporting director Dietmar Beiersdorfer and team doctor Oliver Dierk have travelled to Brazil to sort out details of the transfer.

Jorn Wolf, spokesman for the Bundesliga club, told their official website, www.hsv.de: 'It is right that sporting director Dietmar Beiersdorfer has flown to Brazil in order to clarify the last details with the player Alex Silva and the selling club Sao Paulo.

'Our team doctor Dr Oliver Dierk has accompanied him in order to carry out our medical obligations. He will examine the player on the spot.'

Hamburg are keen to bring in a replacement for Vincent Kompany, who moved to Premier League side Manchester City last week.

And the club views the 23-year-old Silva, who has won eight caps for Brazil, as an ideal signing.

Wolf added: 'When the examinations and the last details with Sao Paulo are sorted, we expect all three back in Hamburg by the middle of the week. The exact time frame is still not certain though.'

Alex Silva a great replacement for Vincent Kompany

Well, actually I pray that he'll do better than Vincent Kompany.

Kompany was excellent on his debut and got man of the match, i really hope he can keep up this level of performace and he will be a brilliant buy.

Borussia Dortmund have signed Lee Young-Pyo on a one year deal.

HSV signs Marcell Jansen.

This comes as a MAJOR surprise for everyone. There wasn't even the slightest hint of a rumour. Nothing.

Well, now we finally got our new LB.

Kinda glad, Jansen is a $h!t defender.

Wouldn't mind us signing somebody though. Injuries could kill us this season. Talking of which, Altintop is out again and will miss at least a few weeks.

HSV also signed Alex Silva today

Didi is gawd !!!

I've said that in the Nationalmannschaft thread months ago: I think a great deal of Jansen, already wanted him here last season, but then he went to Bayern.

Well, we'll see what happens, when he's here.

He certainly fits in Martin Jol's system.

Congratulations HSV fans, Jansen is a great signing!

What a coup by Didi...and he always looks soo harmless.

Jaja, stille Wasser...

Any clue how much you had to pay for him? Buyern paid about 10m Euro for him if I remember it correctly.

Haha, only in you dreams my friend. You can´t even afford Neves alone, let alone him and Kranjcar.

Be happy for now that Didi could betray Dortmund with Zidan.

Jansen ist nicht der Letzte, der zum HSV wechselt. In diesen Tagen kommt auch noch Spielmacher Thiago Neves (23) von Fluminense Rio de Janeiro nach Hamburg. Der HSV zahlt rund 7,5 Mio Euro, erhält 80% der Transferrechte.

Was für ein Sommer-Schluss-Einkauf in Hamburg.

Thanks, Turner! 8m for Jansen sounds like a good deal imo, I remember you offered Gladbach 10m Euro some time before he signed at Bayern.

With regard to Neves: I believe it when I see it and 7.5m Euro can't be true. If you really sign him, I'll wear a Didi avatar for a month, I promise.

Am Freitagmittag wird der neue Mittelfeldregisseur Thiago Neves in Hamburg erwartet. Dietmar Beiersdorfer, der seit Anfang der Woche in Südamerika weilt, erzielte weitgehend Einigung mit Fluminense sowie einer Besitzergesellschaft, die 50 Prozent der Rechte am Bronzemedaillengewinner von Peking hält. "Es sind nur noch Kleinigkeiten, letzte Details zu klären. Es ist alles vereinbart, nur noch der Vollzug, die Unterschrift unter den Vertrag, steht aus", sagte Klubchef Hoffmann und fügte hinzu: "Der Spieler will nach Hamburg."

Thiago Neves soll die Lücke schließen, die Rafael van der Vaart nach seinem Weggang zu Real Madrid beim HSV hinterlassen hat. Der 23-Jährige, ebenfalls rund acht Millionen Euro teuer, wurde im vergangenen Jahr zum besten Spieler der brasilianischen Liga gekürt. "Er ist ein kreativer Spieler mit Tordrang. Wir haben schon vor Olympia mit ihm verhandelt und sind froh, dass es uns gelungen ist, ihn zu verpflichten", sagte Hoffmann. Thiago Neves unterschreibt ebenfalls bis 2013.

Well, okay, I start looking for a nice Didi avatar, but I won´t wear it until Neves signed.

However I must say I'm really impressed: Petric, Silva, Jansen, probably Neves plus Aogo and Pitreupa. And Jol and his team of course.

Didi must have robbed a bank somewhere...

Allofs on the other side is so stingy, he just paid 1.5m Euro for one year Pizarro plus 300000 for Said Huseinovic. Considering he sold Owo to Dortmund for 2.5m we should even have a plus of 200000 Euro...

Aber wir bleiben trotzdem die Nr.1 im Norden.

chrissicross wrote:Didi must have robbed a bank somewhere...

Well, we sold van der Vaart and Kompany, and I still think that we got more for Vincent than the 8.5 millions the press was talking about. Nur so ein Gefühl.

Massimo Oddo on loan (+ option to buy) to Bayern.

Nice work, Uli.

Dear Stellingers,

I just noticed that after half a Silver you're according to MOPO also just buying half a Neves for 8m Euro.

I guess that means that I only have to wear half a Didi avatar then...

And Uli also wants to get a defensive midfielder before the deadline. Guess he's realized van Bommel/Ottl aren't enough.

How much is that option, Effenberg? I mean he will be 33 next year...

I thought Uli had given up such plans after Gattuso decided to stay at Milan...any rumours who it might be?
