I apologize if your weekend flew by so quickly, but if it did, I hope you at least had fun. Now,
it's back to business, which means it's time for Monday's transfer roundup. So, Cristiano Ronaldo
says that there will be definitive news on his future in two or three days. [...]
Ambition without it, where would this transfer roundup be? Thanks to all of the players and clubs
who have it, we've got plenty to present you everyday. We start today's roundup with a player who's
aiming for the highest level, and to do it, he may well have to leave his current club to [...]
So, Manchester United have offered the father of Italian youngster Davide Petrucci, who they
recently signed from Roma, a job as a gardener. If his son lives up to his potential, he'll be
hiring his own gardener in the future. The Sun says that Manchester United are set to make a 25
million pound [.
Today's roundup will start off with speculation and news about a few big names, so for those who
love to read about the biggies, enjoy! England So, have Chelsea made a bid for Kaka? AC Milan say
so, but Chelsea say no. Rumor Rating: 1 - Not happening, at least not right now. That [...]
A feeling of deja vu is coming over me, as I start today's transfer roundup with a player whose
name popped up often in my roundups during the winter window. According to the brother/agent of
Lyon striker Fred, the Brazilian hit-man will sign for Tottenham this week if the offer is right.
Rumor Rating: [.
It's a full day of news and rumors, so sit back and enjoy today's roundup of transfer tidbits.
England The Daily Mail says that Portsmouth won't be upping their offer of nine million pounds for
Liverpool striker Peter Crouch, but instead, they'll increase the initial payment from the original
seven million in hopes of [.
It's Monday, and this week that means this is one of the few times you'll be seeing me around here
this week, as I'm taking a trip to see my best mate get hitched. I'm sure you won't miss me too
much, since the roundups will be going on without me, but for [...]
Just when you thought you'd seen it all, today's transfer roundup will show you that you haven't.
England According to multiple reports, Chelsea may be set to make a €150m offer to AC Milan
for Kaka. No, that's not a typo. They've already reportedly made a €100m offer that Milan
paid no [...
Obviously the true bargains won't be known for some time, but there were a few transfers which
caught the eye before the participants had even put on their new shirt. Eliminating loans made sure
somebody has actually bought up the entire contract this summer, and everyone of these guys
happened to come in at under [.
There's plenty to report on in today's roundup, so without giving you much of an intro, I'll get
right to the good stuff. Enjoy! "Transfer Rumors (14 July 08): Manchester City make offer for
Ronaldinho, Berbatov out, Santa Cruz in at Tottenham, Shevchenko to Sampdoria, and more" was
originally published at Soccerlens.
Since it's Saturday, I'm going to make today's roundup relatively short, but there's still plenty
of news and rumors to report on (besides the ongoing 'will he or won't he?' saga with Cristiano
Ronaldo). England While Gael Clichy is likely going nowhere after signing a new four-year contract,
Barcelona are saying that they've got a 22.
In the world of transfer news and rumors, rule #1 is (or at least it should be) not to believe
everything that you read. If you did, you'd have your own remake of The Exorcist. Even if it's not
believable, it's always fun to read, and we've got plenty of transfer speculation for [...]
If you're looking for super-senasational rumors in today's roundup, there aren't any, but there are
some juicy bits. So, I'll keep the intro short and get to the news and rumors. England Bolton have
clinched the signing of Birmingham midfielder Fabrice Muamba in a deal worth more than 5 million
pounds.
The world is being set alight by ever younger players, and they will be the superstars of the
future. I have handpicked 18 players (11 starters and 7 subs) for the team of the future. GK: Igor
Akinfeev (Russia, CSKA Moscow, 22) At age 22, the Russian goalie is still young but is already
world-class, and his [.
It's Friday, and I'm back to give you all the latest top transfer headlines. I've been away for
most of the past week, as regular readers can tell (cheers to Ahmed for taking over in the
meantime), so I'm still getting caught up, which means that if there are any transfers that need
[...]
Well, we're into the last week of the summer transfer window, so there's going to be a mad dash to
the finish for several sides looking to make some big signings before the window closes. Some
people are going to get their wishes fulfilled, while some are going to end up out in the [...]
No, is the answer you are looking for See Gerrard's best dives after the jump...
The weeks seem to be flying by these days, as we're already at the end of another one. After a
summer that has been both long and short at the same time, the seasons are set to begin soon in
Europe‘s top leagues (the SPL and Ligue 1 both get underway this weekend), and [...]
Brazil midfielder Thiago Neves is to sign for Hamburg this Saturday ...
There are only a few days left in the window, so I'm sure there's a lot in store for what I hope
will be a frantic few days in transfers. Today, there's plenty to report on from around Europe, as
clubs are trying to finalize their squads with the new season still fresh or [...]
When we've been working hard for a while, we can't help but look forward to having a vacation. However, sometimes you might miss something when you're away, like today's transfer roundup, or signing a promising young midfielder.
It looks like Arsenal, not Manchester United, are now the favorites to sign Aaron Ramsey.
Arsenal are to join Manchester United in the race to sign Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero.
The Argentine striker has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time now with Man
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson always said to have a keen interest for the 20-year old, but it is
now understood that Arsenal could also make a move for the player.
Well, if reports published on elconfidencial.com are to be trusted, then Spanish champions and
European powerhouse Real Madrid have signed Sergio Aguero from Atletico Madrid. Or at least, they
have reached an agreement. It has emerged that Real and Atletico have agreed on a deal with Real to
pay their crosstown rivals a massive 60 million [.
With Barcelona apparently now out of the picture, São Paulo and Brazil midfielder, Hernanes,
is being checked out by Atletico Madrid ...
Before I begin today's transfer roundup - I hear there was some sort of game going on Wednesday.
How'd that go, I wonder... I do feel for John Terry - I'm as happy as can be, but if there'a an
opposing player that I respect, it's Terry, who takes a licking and keeps on [...]
The draw for the 08-09 Champions League group stages will take place today in Monaco to pick groups
at random (I suppose the drama makes for good viewing on TV, eh). Soccerlens will cover the draw
LIVE and give you the groups as they unfold. Also, we will get to see who wins the 2008 UEFA [...]
The latest news from this week...Due to the amount of material covered, I didn't post links to
the original sources like I normally do, but if you want them, let me know.
OUTGOING:
FRED: Is it just me, or does Fred spend an inordinate amount of time making
life difficult for the rest of us?
This video shows El Nino when he was literally El Nino. Fernando Torres has clearly been scoring
classy goals ever since he was 12 years old. The only difference is then he did it with a dodgy
basin cut and now he does it with a dodgy ginger strawberry blond mullet. Torres grabs two goals in
this match between the Atletico Madrid and AC Milan youth teams in 1996.
GAME OF THE WEEK: Serbian Superliga - Red Star Belgrade vs Partizan Belgrade When: Sunday, October
5, 17:00 CET Where: Stadion Crvena Zvezda, Belgrade Why: One of the most heated, violent and
dynamic derbies in world football, this one's extra special because of all the recent happenings in
Belgrade.
What if I told you I had a photo obtained courtesy of the fine ladies at Kickette of what appeared
to be Atletico Madrid's Tomás Ujfalusi being caught in the midst of a good tit-wanking by his
trashy-hot ex-wife in the stockroom of a late-1970's Ikea store? Would you believe me? And would
you be offended if I showed it to you?
You know that dream scenario? The one where the U.S. Olympic team shocks the world and wins the
gold medal? Yes, that one. Well, Argentina called, and they said wake up.
Argentina named its Olympic team, and as expected, it is loaded.
Juan Riquelme, Javier Mascherano and Nicolas Burdisso are the overage players on a squad that
was probably good enough with just the U-23 players.
Liverpool have confirmed today that they rejected a £50 million bid for their Spanish striker
Fernando Torres on transfer deadline day. The former Atletico Madrid man was subject of a massive
bid from the world's newest richest club, Manchester City.
Torres, 24, has been linked with Chelsea also in recent months with rumours claiming that Roman
Abramovich was also willing to bid £50 million for the Euro 2008 winner.
After a few lackluster rebuilding years, Barcelona threw down a marker yesterday to prove they are
once again a team able to win the Primera championship. Scoring five goals in the first 28 minutes,
they demolished Atletico Madrid 6-1 at Nou Camp last night.
Goal scorers were Rafa Marquez, Sammy Eto'o (with two), Lionel Messi, Eidur Gudjohnsen, and Thierry
Henry.

4 seeds are the new 3 seeds; or, Transylvanians, Cypriots & Belarusians are legit. BATE were very
fortunate to be eying a blonde Austrian rather than a turban-sporting Italian in net, but they were
never predicted to sneak a deserved point. Cluj proved their Roma win was no fluke, even if they
used a vastly different [.

The draw for the UEFA Champions League last 16 took place yesterday and it certainly produced some
mouthwatering ties. The first games will take place the last Tuesday and Wednesday of February
(24th & 25th) with the return legs taking place two weeks later (Mar 10th & 11th). Here is the full
draw: Chelsea v Juventus Villarreal [.
This morning, Lyon finally clinched the signature of Miralem Pjanic, who is the
hottest talent in France not born in 1987. Lyon have been negotiating with Metz for weeks, but to
so many clubs interested, many with late bids, the deal took quite a long time in being
crafted.
Diego's little daughter Giannina (left) got knocked up, by longtime boyfriend and Atletico Madrid
superstar forward Sergio Aguero (middle).
Fortunately for the young Argentine, the legend (right) didn't seem very upset:
According to the Argentinean press, Diego Maradona has confessed to his fellow
"showbol": "Boys, I will be a grandfather.
By the time I got to Nevada Smith's last Sunday it was already halftime. I walked into a sea of NYC
Madridistas who were plastered all over the bar almost without a care in the world. Then I saw the
scoreboard and realized why. Robinho embarrassed yet another defender before crossing the ball to
Raul who scored with the ease in the very first minute of play.
