Diaby and Silvestre? Nein, danke!
Some 'insider' (clown) claimed that we are interested in Hertha's very gifted DM Kacar and supposedly offer €12m for him. Seems like he confused us with Stuttgart.
Very very unlikely, even for Stuttgart who do have the money. Hertha need money, but they'd basically sell their soul. Can't see them selling him after losing so many key players already.
He'd be awesome for us though.

Hertha are being linked to Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, who would be a free transfer.

It seems like Werder only paid €2m (!) for Claudio Pizarro, as usually reliable Kicker magazine reports. Chelsea demanded €5m in the beginning, but Allofs was patient and waited until they accepted his offer. Pizarro will earn less in Bremen also, €3m a year instead of €4m in London.

If this is true, it's a steal. Transfer of the season, together with Ze Roberto to HSV.
11.53 Uhr: Werder Bremen ist bei der Verpflichtung von Claudio Pizarro offenbar ein echter Coup gelungen. Der "Kicker" berichtet, dass der Transfer nur zwei Millionen Euro gekostet hat, obwohl Chelsea eigentlich fünf Millionen wollte. Geduld zahlt sich eben aus. Der Peruaner verzichtet zudem auf Geld. Ab sofort verdient er "nur noch" drei statt vier Millionen Euro pro Jahr.

Hertha's 22 year old Gojko Kacar (DM / CM) is being linked to Barcelona.
If Hertha really sell him, too, they are going to get relegated this season.

Wolfsburg apparently want to replace Zaccardo (crap) with Heitinga (crap). Would be a backup for a backup, but what's the point?

Apparently, Bayern are close to signing Robben.
http://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/0,1518,645310,00.html
IMHO, Real are stupid to let him go. He is injury prone, but absolute quality. Would of course be a good buy and an indication for Van Gaal's intention to switch to a 4-3-3 system. Robben and Ribery on both flanks could be absolutely devastating, no matter what opposition.
Bayern still need to invest in the defence though. A necessity!

Although Robben and Rafinha look like last second panic transfers (which they kind of are), they could be great for the long term as well. Both are only 25 and 23 years old, respectively. Plus we'll be spending much less money next summer. We might actually make some, if we sell Ribery.
Now all I need is a win against Wolfsburg. Thank you.

Hard to say with vG.
Olic - Gomez - Robben up front though. Müller as 10, perhaps, and hopefully a double 6 behind them (Schwein/Tymo). Hoping for Pranjic at left back and Butt in goal.

Rafinha would be a very good buy for Bayern, as I wrote in the Bayern thread earlier already. With Ribery & Lahm on the left, and Rafinha and Robben on the right, their flanks are as good as any in world football, at least on paper.

He is a good / decent goal scorer. But no Bundesliga club wanted to sign him, despite him being a free transfer, because
a) he is an egoistic c**t
b) his wage demands
Dunno how much Ajax pay him, but he is one of those players who can unsettle a team. That's why Favre benched him in Berlin often last season, despite their lack of good players.
Decent striker though, will score goals consistently if he plays.

It seems like HSV paid some Uruguyan club €4m for Ze Roberto, so he was not a free transfer, as the HSV president confirms. Apparently, that Uruguyan club had the transfer rights.
Very complicated and confusing stuff to be honest.

How odd. Has he ever played in Uruguay?
I've just looked for a report and they said that he may actually have been on loan at Bayern for two years. As you say, very confusing.

He supposedly had signed a 5 year contract at that Uruguyan club a few years ago, but never played a match for them. It seems like he was on a loan in München, Bayern apparently did not have the transfer rights.

Not all of them. Werder's transfer season was mediocre, for example, but we needed a really good one to challenge in the league again, primarily because others strengthened considerably indeed. So generally speaking, the league bought well indeed, but not all clubs.

The Bundesliga has spent record breaking €226m on transfers this summer, more than ever in the history of the league.
http://www.sport1.de/de/fussball/fussball_bundesliga/artikel_146617.html
If you deduct the money earned with player sales and hence look at the money the clubs have actually spent (-> money spent on transfers minus money earned with transfers), it's €108.8m, the second highest in Europe after La Liga, higher than the EPL even (€91.3m)!

Die Bundesliga und die 1b-Stars
Best of the Rest
Nicht nur der Wechsel von Arjen Robben zeugt von der gewachsenen Attraktivität der Bundesliga. Sie entwickelt sich zur neuen Heimat der 1b-Stars. Eine Bestandsaufnahme.
Vielleicht muss man sich der Antwort auf die Frage, warum Arjen Robben jetzt in der Bundesliga spielt, über einen Umweg nähern. Dieser Umweg führt über die Frage, warum dieser ganz offenkundig zu großem Spektakel taugende Hochgeschwindigkeitsfußballer nicht in England spielt. Oder in Italien, der Türkei oder Russland. Warum geht jemand, der vor nicht allzu langer Zeit gut genug für Real Madrid war, nicht einfach zu einem anderen Klub der Primera Division, die doch von sich selbst behauptet, die beste Liga der Welt überhaupt zu sein?
Die Gründe dafür dürften die gleichen sein, die Claudio Pizarro vom FC Chelsea zu Werder Bremen oder Aliaksandr Hleb vom FC Barcelona zum VfB Stuttgart geführt haben. Auch Zé Roberto vergoldet den Spätsommer seiner Karriere nicht, wie noch vor Jahren üblich, irgendwo in Asien, sondern hängt noch zwei Jahre in der Bundesliga dran - nicht zum Schaden für die Bundesliga. In Hamburg trifft der ewig junge Brasilianer den tatsächlich jungen Top-Torjäger der Junioren-EM, den Schweden Marcus Berg. Auch der ging nicht den ausgetretenen Pfad auf die Insel oder über die Alpen, sondern wählte die Vogelfluglinie bis kurz hinter Schleswig-Holstein.
Sicherer Hafen für unsichere Kantonisten
Die Bundesliga hat einen Teil des Rückstands auf die sogenannten großen Ligen aufgeholt. Sie dient jetzt immerhin als sicherer Hafen für unsichere Kantonisten, deren Karriere irgendwo zwischen Anlagebank und Ersatzbank stecken geblieben ist. Spieler, die sich sportlich an den Hochfinanzplätzen des Fußballs nicht durchsetzen konnten, zieht es plötzlich ins kalte Deutschland. Hier verdienen sie womöglich weniger, aber immer noch sehr gut - und vor allem verlässlich jeden Monat dasselbe. Gleichzeitig ist die sportliche Konkurrenz kleiner, der Spaßfaktor in ausverkauften Stadien hoch. Denn sogar Profis, zumindest solche, die noch etwas zeigen wollen, macht Geld allein nicht glücklich. Man kann da Rafael van der Vaart fragen, der erst nicht schnell genug wegkommen konnte aus Hamburg und nun so gerne zurückkehren würde aus Madrid; zur Not gar nach München. Die Bundesliga ist für die 1b-Stars des Weltfußballs an die Stelle der Tottenhams, Parmas oder Real Mallorcas getreten. Ihre Klubs haben bessere Argumente als Panathinaikos Athen, Fenerbahce Istanbul, Red Diamonds Urawa. Schon lassen sich gar Stars wie Dzeko und Ribéry zum Bleiben überreden. Arjen Robbens 30-Minuten-Zauber versinnbildlicht die neue Attraktivität der Liga: Sie ist mit Abstand das Beste vom Rest.
