yes please

abidal plus 6m euros for trez

Really you think you could get that much for a 30 year old? Well, I guess if he goes to Italy he could play for anohter 8 years so maybe.

Well there's a lack of decent LBs in the market, so if somebody wants an experienced player (and like you say, he's at a decent age for an Italian club) then they should pay for him.

I don't want Trezeguet in part exchange though.

Messiah - why do you want Trezeguet. He's past it imo...certainly not good enough to be first choice and there are surely better alternatives for the backup '9'. You can't even justify it by "reuniting" Trez & Henry, it's not 1998 anymore.

i just think we need a number 9, someone who is going to stay in the box and score scrappy shit goal from a half chance and someone that can head the ball, alves crosses are just wasted in this team.

No, Alves' crosses are sh!t.

i see one game, as wiped out all the excellent crosses he has put in over his career.

He wants to stay with us and I hope we accommodate him. His agent can talk to Juventus - big deal; it doesn't mean that he is going anywhere, especially not to Barca. Quite frankly if we have to sell it should not be to any club in Spain, even if that means getting less, which it won't as if he has english suitors that will raise the price. Nevertheless, if that git of a co-President - not Soriano - is behind this I hope the Inquisition passes swift and savage judgment on the hijo de puta!

Is Villa=Barca a done deal? Balague said as much on Revista this week.

balague is full of shit

Really Messiah, he's not that credible.

Balague may be sensationalist, but if a good offer is in for Etoo, then yes, it's a done deal.

No it isn't. Valencia has not agreed to sell Villa yet. It might happen, but it is far from a done deal whether you sell Eto'o or not. After all a rich new owner could come in during the summer and then we will be buying not selling. Just wait and see.

Manuel Pablo has just renewed his contract with Deportivo for a further two years.

Kaka commenting on being linked with Real Madrid:

"No lo sé, y estoy cansado de todos estos rumores. ¿Con qué frecuencia tengo que decir que soy feliz aquí, mi familia es feliz en Milán, y me encanta este club?", recalcó en declaraciones al diario galo 'Aujourdhui sport'.

So he's coming then?

AM want coloccini

http://www.goal.com/en/news/12/spain/2009/05/11/1259012/atletico-madrid-keen-on-fabricio-coloccini-report

don't they want to improve their defense, i keep on saying someone should sign lugano, the man is a typical Uruguayan defender,as hard as nails

Coloccini!?!?!?

He was bad enough the first time he played for them and they want a second try?

PATETICO!

Coupet wants out, they haven't resigned Franco...maybe Atletico are planning to play without a goalkeeper next year?

http://www.marca.com/2009/05/12/futbol/equipos/atletico/1242127982.html

villarreal are looking to sign a defender

http://www.goal.com/en/news/12/spain/2009/05/12/1260539/villarreal-to-choose-between-arzo-marcano-juanito-and-pablo-repor

You have to laugh when you see Marcano mentioned in the same sentence as Juanito, Pablo and Arzu.

Valdano wants melo

Word says Valencia to sign Paolo Guerrero.

liverpool 15M pounds, take it or leave it bid for silva

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11827_5320545,00.html

15m, they're having a laugh. Somebody remind them that the exchange rate is not 1 GBP = 1.5 euros like it was last summer.

Atletico rescinds the contract of Seitaridis as well...let the clear out begin!

Next on the list is surely Balon d'Or Pernia?

Or Pablo...or both!

How can a player become so useless. Did you know he hasn't scored from a free-kick since his move from Getafe?

They need to sign a creative central midfielder and a Yaya-type man-mountain in midfield.

Any link of Silva to Chelsea? He could be a player that we desperately need.

All the speculation about Chelsea right now is Ancelotti. Which makes sense, it's unlikely you will be seriously looking at signing players when you don't have a manager.
