They want, they pay. Sales is at Woolies and MFI

Di Maria is currently recovering from a injury after yet another killing tackle on a game 3 weeks ago

Besides, if they "aparentely" paid E30 for Pepe, that should be peanuts for Di Maria. He may have a bit more protection from the referees in Spain, that he currently has in Portugal

Different financial climate now. Buyers market. It depends on how much they want to keep him, but what they paid for a player even six months ago isn't what will be paid now unless buyers have more money than sense. If Man City hold out, but I doubt that you can get €30m for someone who does not start unless he was starter previously, but lost place to injury, not reserve who was injured in a match. We paid more than €20m for Maduro last January - not worth it and because he doesn't start regularly enough, no way we can expect that much back now - same with Zigic.

Lazio are looking for midfielders apparently, shortlist includes Elano from Manchester City, Obodo of Udinese, Cabaye from French side Lille and Facundo Piriz of Nacional di Montevideo in Uruguay.

Milan are looking for a Gattuso replacement, surprisingly the name of Dessena of Doria doing the rounds. Milan have already secured Thiago Silva for next summer for £9M.

Napoli are after Cannavaro, and are hoping they can bring him home this winter.

Juventus are keen on Gallas.

Fiorentina may sell Kuzmanovic to Real.

Inter to offload Dacourt, and loan out Crespo and Obinna.

Gallas would be a good signing, Fiorentina will only sell if its a big deal that guy is talented.

Yeah, Gallas will be a good signing for Juve.

Fiorentina need to recover some of the big spending they did over the summer, now that they are out of the CL. My guess is that they will sell 2-3 players, and players like Pazzini, Pasqual, Oswaldo, Santana & Kuzmanovic are rumoured to be on that list.

However, I do agree that it will take a big offer to prize Kusmanovic out of Fiorentina. Pazzini, not so much...

How much is a big offer exactly?

I'm sure they'd bite someone's arm off for £10m

Fabiano rejected a move to Citeh.

Arsenal Bordeaux and Marseille as well

There are many many rumours on the following two, its becoming difficult to ignore that genuine interest might exist:

- Man City going after Cambiasso
- Arsenal going after Chiellini
- Man City going after Buffon

If these transfers do happen, then it surely will mean that EPL is far greater than Serie A. These players belong to the top sides of Serie A, and are among the key players in their teams. If sides like City and Arsenal are able to pry stars away from Inter/Juve, then we must open our mind to the possibility that EPL is a league ahead of Serie A.

But then, most Serie A fans find these rumours laughable. Its like Fiorentina going after Terry, and Roma going after Fabregas. Now even if Fiorentina were owned by the richest man in the world, why would Terry leave Chelsea for Fiorentina? So most likely, these are either press generated rubbish, or poor transfer attempts which are doomed for failure. I myself find it very hard to imagine any of these transfers will happen - they just don't make sense.

The only way these are going to happen is if the transfer money offered is so ridiculously huge, that the selling club tells the player to go.

Only time will tell.

It's greater even if they don't.

The Premiership is already streets ahead in terms of buying power, and that is ultimately a major factor in attracting players. Some Serie A clubs have bought very well this summer and weren't hesitant to spend big, but it's probably no match for what the Premiership spent overall.

Maybe it'll change now, and their spending go down a bit, with some of the owners struggling with the current economic problems, and with Roy Keane no longer managing Sunderland.

Ability to spend more is one thing (its a fact already, and means that EPL has an edge over Serie A), but the ability to prise away stars from top Italian sides is quite another (and if this happens, it could represent that EPL has much more than just an edge over Serie A)...

As a Serie A fan, I just hope that never happens.

REAL ZA KRASIĆA NUDI 12 MILIONA EVRA
Sportski direktor „kraljevskog kluba" Predrag Mijatović želi da već
u januarskom prelaznom roku dovede srpskog reprezentativca, koji bi bio
zamena za povređenog Snajdera

Srpski reprezentativac Miloš Krasić mogao bi već u januarskom prelaznom
roku da pojača redove Real Madrida! Prema pisanju ruskih medija,
plavokosi momak iz Kosovske Mitrovice već dugo se nalazi pod prismotrom
sportskog direktora „kraljevskog kluba" Predraga Mijatovića, koji je
rukovodstvu moskovskog CSKA spreman da ponudi 12 miliona evra.

Navodno, čelnici „kraljevskog kluba", koji su ubeđeni da Krasić može da
predstavlja pravu alternativu za povređenog Veslija Snajdera, tokom ove
sedmice kontaktiraće Dejana Joksimovića, agenta brzonogog veziste, i
pokušati da ugovore uslove četvorogodišnje saradnje.

Pored Real Madrida, za usluge 24-godišnjeg asa interesuju se Mančester
junajted, Zenit, Liverpul, Hamburg i Porto, ali ruski mediji
jedinstveni su u oceni da će Krasić već prvih dana prelaznog roka
potpisati ugovor sa devetostrukim prvakom Evrope. Bivši igrač Vojvodine
našao se u žiži najboljih evropskih klubova posle sjajnih izdanja u
kvalifikacionim mečevima za reprezentaciju Srbije. Pominjalo se da je
Porto već završio posao, interesovanje su prvo pokazali brojni engleski
i nemački klubovi, ali ponuda iz Madrida mogla bi sve da promeni. Ruski
mediji apostrofiraju poznanstvo Predraga Mijatovića sa Krasićevim
menadžerom Dejanom Joksimovićem, koji je nedavno izjavio da njegov
štićenik može da igra u bilo kom klubu na Starom kontinentu.

- Pošto putujem po Evropi, uvideo sam da je recesija
zahvatila brojne klubove, međutim, Krasić ne bi trebalo da brine. On je
igrač koji bi bez ikakvih problema mogao da igra u Mančester junajtedu,
Liverpulu ili Real Madridu. A, takvi velikani su uvek spremni da ponude
15 miliona evra. Trebalo bi da imamo sastanak sa rukovodstvom CSKA ovih
dana, na kojem ćemo odlučiti šta nam valja činiti - rekao je nedavno Dejan Joksimović.

Brzonogi vezista pojačao je redove CSKA 2004. godine, a u dresu
„armejaca" odigrao je 110 mečeva i postigao 15 golova. Osvojio je dve
titule prvaka Rusije i tri kupa. Na njegovu karijeru presudan uticaj
imao je sada već bivši strateg moskovskog kluba Valeri Gazajev, koji je
bio protiv njegove prodaje.

U slučaju da se obistine najave ruskih medija, Miloš Krasić bi postao
peti Srbin u novijoj istoriji Real Madrida. Krajem osamdesetih beli
dres nosio je bivši igrač Crvene zvezde Milan Janković, ali se na
„Santjago Bernabeu" zadržao samo jednu sezonu. Još manje sreće u
Madridu imali su Predrag Spasić, koji je i danas sinonim za loše
poslovne poteze Real Madrida, te Perica Ognjenović i Dejan Rambo
Petković.

My Serbian isnt very good but that says RM are interested in Krasic and have agreed a 12 m fee despite the interest of MU,Porto,Hamburg,Liverpool.


He would be a good signing a rw for RM.That is Krasic of Cska Moscow

REAL ZA KRASIĆA NUDI 12 MILIONA EVRA

I thought they were after Evra then!

my Serbian is terrible but I'm sure Evra will be a great signing for Partizan

Euro.

Aiden McGeady (Celtic) linked with Bayern. Can anybody enlighten me?

We're linked with Dante from Standard Liege. Looks like a good signing for us.

McGeady had a bust up with Gordon Strachan after Celtic's draw with Hearts. He has been fined and suspended for two weeks by the club, this means that he will miss the game with Rangers.

Not seen the link with Bayern but inevitably he has already been linked with English clubs.

You don't want Chiellini? I think he would be a good player for Arsenal to get if it was possible. allthough i think it would be hard to attract at the moment.

Good player dont know if he is good enough for us , have only played in SPL.

No, no. What I mean is that is exceptionally unlikely this will happen. Juventus would want big money for their star defender, and lets face it he has a better chance of a title where he is at the moment.

Effenberg wrote:Aiden McGeady (Celtic) linked with Bayern. Can anybody enlighten me?

If you mean about McGeady he is a good young player, product of Celtic's youth policy a midfielder/winger. He chose to play for Republic of Ireland rather than Scotland due to family ties, but was brought up in Scotland. He recently had a big row with Celtic manager Gordon Strachan that resulted in a two week suspension from Celtic's first team. His agent says he will appeal. This has led to a lot of transfer speculation as there are doubts that he and Strachan can get along now.

Cheers.

Inter are apparently launching a shock bid for Milito.... in exchange, they are offering Genoa services of Balotelli, Obinna, & Dacourt. The first two will be on loan/co-ownership, while Dacourt will be a transfer.

Interesting! Milito will be a perfect replacement for Crespo.
