AZ Alkmaar are the latest European club to be angered by English teams' youngster-stealing antics
as they lost two promising youths to Arsenal and Liverpool this week. Liverpool swooped to sign
17-year-old striker Vincent Weijl, while Arsenal added 15-year-old midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup to
their ranks.
Readers of this blog will know how much I detest Arsene Wenger and his policy of stealing the
youth players of other clubs. I know other clubs do it too (Chelsea is another notable example),
but Arsenal do it every other day. In fact, I protested this post that praised Arsenal's youth
system chiefly because Arsenal's youth system is really just Arsene systematically purchasing well
known young prospects from other clubs.
While silly-money transfers such as Robinho's move to Manchester City quite naturally grab all the
headlines, there are a myriad of deals involving Brazilians that hardly get a mention and many
involve a trip to Holland ...

Well, as the transfer window nears, Lyon look to bolster their defense as well as move out some
"surplus" stock. On the offensive side, everything seems to be finalized, and all that is
left is the anticipated departure of Milan Baros.
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.
The second part of our transfer roundup from the dingy world of the gutter press... Deco has been
told by the Barcelona big-wigs that he can ‘do one' in the summer, and this has Manchester
United, Chelsea and Arsenal pulses racing. (The People) Cristiano Ronaldo is set to become the
Premier League's number one moneybags player when [.
Middlesbrough might have to shell out an extra £2m in compensation to AZ Alkmaar, as the
polygamist Brazilian actually signed contracts with both clubs. (Daily Mail) The Premier League
will meet next week to try and sift through the crazed mess that is the Benjani transfer from
Portsmouth to Man City.

Heerenveen's Alfonso Alves is the one of the hottest foreign properties in the Netherlands at the
moment and everyone is eager to get the Brazilian international. And almost inevitably, it is the
