Oh no! He's done a Schteeve! David Beckham's lawyers are reportedly working behind-the-scenes to
find a get-out clause in his LA Galaxy contract so that he can return to the East End and open a
pizzeria as soon as possible. The ex-England skipper celebrated his first goal for AC Milan by
conducting post-match interviews in a [.
Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas would like to be joined in North London by Spain teammate and current
Liverpool star Xabi Alonso. Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor is being linked with another
high-money move with AC Milan being the club looking at him...
Javier Mascherano allegedly wants to leave Liverpool for Barcelona and the club is apparently
desperate to keep the player. If he wants to go then let him go - there are two inexpensive,
readily-available players out there that Rafael Benitez could sign with the money who would
instantly improve the club's chances of landing a first ever Premiership title.
Seasons are coming to a close around Europe, and while many big names will make moves in the
upcoming summer transfer window, we're also going to see a few notable managers change clubs in the
near future. With that in mind, today's transfer news and rumors roundup has a little managerial
news from around Europe mixed in with the regular player transfer gossip.
Here are some images floating around the internet of the supposed AC Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea &
Bayern Munich Adidas 2009/10 kits. They appear to be taken at a sporting shop in Asia. Typically,
these sporting shop leaks tend to be very close to the final kits. The Bayern Munich kit is very
much like [.
CESC FABREGAS has pleaded with boss Arsene Wenger to sign a midfield hardman.
Arsenal skipper Fabregas misses tough-tackling Mathieu Flamini who quit the Gunners last summer
for AC Milan and has not been replaced.
Sir Alex Ferguson is planning an audacious raid on Liverpool for Kop striking hero Fernando
Torres.
Armed with the £80 million windfall from Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Real Madrid, the Manchester
United boss is determined to make his own impact in a transfer market which is becoming bloated
with money from the big clubs.
'Tis the season for new football (or soccer if you are American or Aussie) shirt. Clubs are
releasing new kits on a daily basis right now to cash in on the hopes of greatness that builds
between seasons. Back in February, we brought you leaks of the Adidas Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Real
Madrid and AC Milan [.
As you would expect, a certain Brazilian is dominating the transfer headlines right now, and in
today's transfer news and rumors roundup, we've got the latest on that Brazilian and his potential
world-record move, and we've also got plenty to report on about from England, Spain, Italy,
Germany, and France.
In the end of the year when all is summed up, Kaka will be the biggest loser. When we wrote that
Real will realize the sad truth that ‘galacticos 2' will be even a bigger farce than the
first version of Perez's team, many thought we were wrong.
As soon as Real came across few serious rivals, things fell into place as making the team by
spending €100 million because of someone's ego is simply not how things are done.
Usually I'm not one to look forward to Monday, but the start of a new week during transfer season
usually means that there's plenty to talk about. Jermain Defoe has dominated the roundups recently,
but now that he's finally being sold (you can guess where), we'll have to find a new flavor of the
[.
Every year Premiership managers conspire to spend millions of pounds on exotic sounding foreign
players whose names have never graced the screens of an English TV. Last year it was Marouane
Fellaini, a £15 million signing for Everton. And what's more, his tough tackling, willingness to
play ludicrously out of position, and even more ludicrous haircut have made the Premiership a
better place over the last twelve months.
David Beckham flew to London with AC Milan team mate, and former Arsenal midfielder, Flamini, to
watch the Champions League semi-final at the Emirates.
As the third goal went in, cameras showed Beckham's celebration, made up to see his boyhood team
reach the final.
This wasn't the first time he has been to watch United this season though, with him meeting up
with the team ahead of our 0-0 draw against Inter Milan.
And once again, the world of football will never be the same. Today, AC Milan boy, Alexandre
Pato, wed Brazilian actress Sthefany Brito. The couple tied the knot in Rio, with the presence of
many Brazilian celebs and Kaká. For those of you who do not know already, Pato is only 19 years
old and Sthefany is 22 (yikes?
The party is still going on in Barcelona, and there might still yet be a few angry hangovers in
Manchester right now, but the aftermath of the Champions League final means transfer gossip aplenty
for the loser.
As you would expect, a few butts will be met by boots this summer at Manchester United, and a
few new faces will take their place in an attempt to help erase the disappointment of the Rome
defeat.
UDINESE defender Cristian Zapata claims Arsenal are among the clubs interested in signing him
this summer.
The 22-year-old has made 17 league starts for Udinese this season and his performances for the
Bianconeri have not gone unnoticed.
He said: "Juventus, Fiorentina, Milan, Arsenal and Villarreal have requested information about
me.

AC Milan's Brazilian superstar Kaka has said that he wants to stay at Milan but it looks like they
may have to sell the star. Kaka is wanted by Manchester City, Real Madrid, Chelsea but Man
United...

ESPN's The Body Issue is out on Friday, and it features AC Milan's Oguchi Onyewu better known as
"Gooch" completely naked.
Well, except for a little body oil.
He's shy like that.
The DC United boys also got their naked photo session on they decided to showcase their
wall-making skills for the shoot.
We're into a new week, and this is a week that could get off to a big bang in the transfers
world. AC Milan star Kaka could very well make the switch to Real Madrid in the
coming days, and a few other top European clubs could nail down a few new squad additions sometime
this week as well.
Barcelona finance director Xavier Sala i Martin is bewildered as to how Real Madrid are funding
their summer spending spree. With a reported transfer budget of 300million euros at their
disposal, Madrid president Florentino Perez has this week set about creating a second 'galacticos'
era.
The Spanish giants had a world-record bid of £80million for Portugal winger Cristiano Ronaldo
accepted by Manchester United on Thursday, hot on the heels of Monday's 68million euros acquisition
of Brazil playmaker Kaka from AC Milan.
Could this week be the most exciting week in Arsenal's transfer history?
With the Confederation's Cup over and Brazil crowned champions, it is time to see if Arsenal's
pursuit of Felippe Melo is indeed a true pursuit or merely more newspaper talk. Arsenal are
reported to have offered Phillipe Senderos as part of the deal, but Wenger will not accept
Fiorentina's valuation of £21 million for the Brazilian international.
Apart from the new AC Milan home shirt, the AC Milan 2009-10 away and third shirts have also been
revealed. The new AC Milan away shirt is primarily white in colour, and has changes in the collar
and the end of the sleeves from last season's shirt. The third shirt is a black outfit, with red
stripes [.
Seems some in the English media are convinced that Kaka's transfer to Real Madrid makes him the
most expensive of all time. And going purely by £GBP, they're completely correct. Kaka's €65m
move from Milan to Real converts to about £55.5m (at current rate of €1 = £0.85). But Zinedine
Zidane's 2001 move from Juve [.
Cristiano Ronaldo's £80million transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid will be the catalyst
for massive round of transfers. Here are today's latest transfer rumours.
Last month, the 2009/10 AC Milan Adidas home kit was launched. Now there is a special edition of
the kit that pays tribute to recently retired Rossineri and Italy legend Paolo Maldini. It
features Maldini's name and number on the back and Grazie Paolo embroidery on the chest area.
Here's a look at the kit.
Why go on loan when you can own? AC Milan could be about to lose their new hero... to Leyton
Orient. David Beckham's most trusted adviser is in talks about a possible takeover of the
struggling League One outfit, according to the club's current owner. Barry Hearn has said
discussions have taken place with Beckham's agent [.
Oguchi Onyewu has signed with AC Milan! Can you believe that? I really am excited for him, but I
hope it's not a mistake. We have to think that he is not just an insurance policy against injured
or suspended starters. [Personal Note to Gooch: I have to cheer against your new team - Forza
Inter!]

Michael Bradley has been given a 3+1 game suspension by FIFA for verbally abusing the referee after
the USA v Spain game.
There are plenty of promising players in Major League Soccer, and many of proven quality too.
Despite Europe's negative perception of the United States' flagship football league there is a good
deal of talent currently plying its trade Stateside.
Many players have played on both sides of the Atlantic already.
In the weeks leading up to his return to Major League Soccer and the Los Angeles Galaxy, David
Beckham claimed he was prepared for a hostile reception from some fans upon his return to the Home
Depot Center. But judging by his actions in Sunday night's 2-2 draw against AC Milan - the team
that he left MLS for nine months ago - Beckham hadn't expected the reaction to be quite so
negative, especially from the team's most hardcore fans.
Not the best way for Leonardo to begin his San Siro managerial career!

Saturday may have been a holiday for me in the U.S., but no matter what day it is, I've got an
attentive eye on the latest in transfer news and rumors.
Ahmed already covered the latest news on the Felipe Melo to Arsenal front, and
in this morning's roundup, I have several more tidbits from Saturday and early today to tide you
over until next time, including another potential swap deal involving Arsenal and a top Serie A
club.
Simon Kuper and Stefan Syzmanski titled the American version of their new book Soccernomics
(review is here), but their title for the release in the UK is Why England Lose. In the book,
Kuper and Syzmanski identified the US as a rising power in soccer and England as a permanent
disappointment to their rabid fans.
Are you ready for this? Really? Talk about a bolt from the blue... I don't really know what to say.
I mean, I knew he was on loan at AC Milan, but a loan is a loan. There was never any suggestion
that this would be a permanent move. Thanks to Goal.com for unearthing this for [...]
The fates of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka may have been decided in the space of a week but with
over 2 months still to go to this summer, there's plenty of time for more 'superstar' signings to
take place.
Here's a list of the top 5 transfer targets (left standing) this summer - will they move clubs,
stay loyal or sold to pay off debts?
Every league in the world has its derby matches, those entrenched local, political or social
rivalries which give added fervour to the average game. Some of these derbies, however, spill over
into frequent violence, hatred and all-out warfare between the fans of the respective clubs.
In this article I list ten of the most vociferous and aggressive derbies in world football and
look into the violence which has made them so notorious the world over.
Bruce Arena, coach of LA Angels Galaxy, was shown especially displeased by the events on the case
Beckham. "With that what has happened in the two last months would be able to fill a
psychiatric hospital". Arena already knows that he will not be able to include the
player in the first encounters on the [.
The all new rumour reporting article system is in full effect! The Rumour AC Milan defender Kakha
Kaladze is again in the sights of Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez. Benitez was blocked from signing the
Georgia international two years ago and has remained a big fan. Kaladze missed much of this season
with injury, .
The silence has been deafening from the Emirates. The silence that is, to deny that Adebayor
is not leaving the club.
In the past and we can look at Vieira, every season he was with us, Henry for the last three
season, Cesc last two seasons and even Adebayor last season, Wenger was very vocal in telling
everyone that these players were going nowhere.
By Brooke Tunstall - ATLANTA, GA (Jul 22, 2009) USSoccerPlayers -- You know you've made it big time
when folks are dropping money to watch you practice. That, and it seems like half of your new
teammates have won the World Cup. Not played in it, won it. So it goes for US National Team
defender Oguchi Onyewu, who was formally introduced yesterday at the Georgia Dome as famed club AC
Milan's newest acquisition.
