Oh, the surprises that are in store! No, I'm not talking about the FA Cup third round, but the
January transfer window. The window's started, and soon, a flurry of footballers will be flying in
and out to new destinations. How many of them will end up at Manchester City? Well, at least [...]
We're only a week into the January transfer window, and the way that figures are being thrown about
for some players, you'd think that we were in the summer window. I'm not picking on Manchester City
by any means, because they're not the only club that looks likely to splash the cash this month, [.
We're already halfway through the January transfer window, and while there has been more
speculation than signings thus far, that could be set to change in the next week. As you would
expect, we have the latest on Manchester City's attempts to sign Kaka, but he's not the only player
they're after, and there [.
Can anyone imagine that a major American sports star like Kobe Bryant would wear a Barcelona jersey
on the cover of a mainstream sports magazine like ESPN the Magazine 5 years ago? 10 years ago?
Does this mean that soccer has finally arrived in the United States as a major sport? Obviously the
answer to that question is no.
With the focus on football today, it's a relatively slow day in transfer news and rumors, but I've
managed to scrounge up many of the day's best bits, including the latest on Kaka and Manchester
City's other potential dealings. England Kaka is going to seal his £108m move to Manchester
City next week.

bríos y rompiendo récords, todos sus jugadores quieren formar parte de este nuevo e
historico equipo.
Things are still quiet on the signing front as we start a new week, but there are a lot of rumors
to report on about who could be on the move either this month or in the summer. England Chelsea are
reportedly preparing a world-record bid for Barcelona star Andres Iniesta. (Daily Mail) Analysis:
Trying [.
While Juande Ramos' career at White Hart Lane is done and dusted, remains of his legacy can still
be spotted. Over the summer, Tottenham wrapped up an exciting £9 million deal for Barcelona's
Giovani Dos Santos. Once viewed as Barca's successor to Ronaldinho, fans around the league - myself
included - were anxious to see the Mexican's talents.
It's starting to get down to crunch time for sides looking to add the necessary reinforcements to
their squads with races for titles, European places, and survival in mind. Of course, every signing
this month isn't just about 'the now,' so make sure you watch this space daily so that you can say
you [.
"De entre los jugadores del mundo que me gustarían que reforzaran a la Juventus me gustan
muchísimos, aunque me quedaría con uno: Leo Messi", declaró el presidente del
conjunto italiano, Andrea Agnelli, a 'Tuttosport'. Ya sabemos que los diarios italianos suelen
abusar mucho de esos hipotéticos traspasos de Messi al Calcio.
When Jermaine Defoe rejoined Tottenham yesterday, he became the newest member of an extremely
unique club that has seen it's membership dwindle over the last few seasons. Very few players
rejoin a club they used to play for whilst at the peak of their powers but Defoe returns to
Tottenham with his best years ahead [.
Today's transfer roundup isn't light on the latest news and rumors about who definitely will be
headed to new clubs and who could be in the near (or distant) future. England Manchester City have
opened the bidding for Newcastle keeper Shay Given, tabling an offer of £8m for the Irishman.
(Daily Mail) Analysis: Newcastle might [.
ESPN The Magazine just came out and in that cover we see none other than LA Laker star Kobe Bryant
wearing the blaugrana colors. Every time an athlete, actor, actress, or person in the media
express either an interest or fanaticism towards a team, its fans' chests expand with pride.
It is the nature of [.
Whatever this is just defies description. There are surely some strange stretches out there, but
this one seems a bit too personal. At the very least it should be done within the confines of
Samuel's own home. And preferably with a sex worker. Wearing gloves. Follow The Offside on Twitter
The Reds have unveiled their latest away shirt for the 2009-2010 campaign, which will be black with
a gold adidas trim and red piping and emblazoned with the Carlsberg logo. Liverpool had been
discussing a white shirt as their change strip but decided on this option due to sales of a
previous [...
First things first, the last few weeks have been very hectic in my "real life" because
I've fallen behind in my research, and as a doctoral student, my adviser is not happy with me,
which is why I've had to take a vacation from the soccer blogosphere. So you can imagine my
disappointment that despite missing two games and nearly two weeks into the January transfer
window, nothing remotely interesting has happened at Lyon.
The gushing over Barca continues, only this one isn't limited to their current world crushing
squad, it's for their run of the last 17 years - apparently that's when IFFHS began using
statistics, which makes this so much more official. And, like their current domestic campaign,
they've done it with a hefty cushion between themselves [.
As I wrote on the Orlando Sentinel's; the Other Football . According to Elmundodeportivo.es,
Barcelona has a pre-contract in their possession awarding them the Miami Franchise! The contract
was sent from the U.S. and is now being revised by their legal department. It states that by
February 15 an official announcement will be made and the contract states the team will begin in
2010.
Así de rotundo se mostró Villa tras el encuentro que su equipo ganó al
Atlético. El delantero asturiano salía al paso de las declaraciones hechas por Juanma
Castaño en la Cadena SER en las que el periodista afirmaba que a Villa le quedaban pocos meses
en el Valencia. "Espero que ésta sea la última vez [.
So today I get the following email from my co-blogger Chris: Easy Weekend Post Barca are now the
best team ever through half a season in La Liga. 50 of a potential 57 points. Quite the feat. Also,
Titi scored a header, which is probably worth an entire post in itself. (The Alves cross [...]
This isn't a subjective rating, it's merely the ten most expensive transfer fees by price of the
summer 2008 throughout the world (read: Europe). Because I don't feel like doing the pound to Euros
conversion right now (and neither do Brits - bada boom), I'm going to leave it in the poundage the
Daily Mail [.
This round of the Copa del Rey has some intriguing storyline. The biggest game of the stage
is undoubtedly Barcelona and Atlético Madrid. The biggest player on the field on Tuesday
will be Lio Messi. Players like Samuel Eto'o, Sergio Agüero, Xavi, and Carles Puyol
missing from the pitch will mean that there will [.
Stuff to read while you perfect the art of getting on a chair lift..... Dean Windass does his

touches Becks had last night?
While most of us are anxious about Sunday's Big Four matchup between Manchester United and Chelsea,
the entirety of the footballing world is awaiting FIFA's big announcement. This upcoming Monday,
January 12th, FIFA is set to announce who the best footballer on the planet is; the World Player of
the Year award will be handed out.

KAKA has given the green light to join Manchester City after the club increased their offer to a
phenomenal £243million. AC Milan last night confirmed they had received the mind-boggling bid
which changes the face of world football. More... The Fluminense soccer team announced on Thursday
the breakthrough of talk with Fred.
After 3.3 million votes cast by 256,000 online users (slightly less than last year), the uefa.com
Team of the Year 2008 was revealed earlier this week. As can usually be expected with these things,
this starting eleven will please many and disappoint others (especially those whose favorite player
was not selected) but this being said, [.
El club catalán podría tener atado al futbolista del Inter de Mourinho para la temporada
2009-2010, según asegura el diario italiano La Gazzetta dello Sport. El jugador sudamericano
aún no ha renovado su contrato con la entidad italiana y su contrato actual expira en junio de
este año. Eso le permite negociar con cualquier club [.
Another piece of brilliant writing by Rob Hughes on how after a terrible storm took the lives of
four boys in Barcelona, the team gave the grieving city something to cheer about.
Hola Miami and the worlds! Burrito wake up today and drink cafecito con huevos rancheros and read

El mediocampista mexicano Gerdardo Torrado podría regresar al futbol europeo, luego que el
Espanyol de Barcelona hiciera un ofrecimiento formal al Cruz Azul para contar con el seleccionado
nacional.
Fue el mismo presidente del club español,Daniel Sánchez Libre, quien admitió que
hicieron una oferta a la "Máquina Celeste" por Torrado, y que ahora les toca a los
cementeros definir si aceptan o no.
Total football is back On a sub-zero Sunday evening in Spain, runaway league leaders, Barcelona,
showed they could ally battling qualities to their undoubted flair and panache. Trailing 2-1 in
some terrible playing conditions, Barca had to dig deep to secure an incredible 3-2 victory. Late
goals from the influential Xavi and Lionel Messi simply added more integrity to the claim that this
team is the finest of its generation.
The Copa del Rey got its draw for the quarterfinals and there are some intriguing
matchups. Four of the last Copa del Rey winners are still in the race as well as the
winningest club in this tournament. Barcelona-Espanyol The big matchup right now is is the

The list of potential MLS teams has been reduced today. Atlanta's bid according to The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution was withdrawn by Arthur Blank Atlanta Falcons owner and the lead investor who
pulled out of the running for an MLS team in 2011 due to the harsh economic times. Blank however,
has not ruled out the possibility of biding for a space for 2013.
The Catalan giants have been given the chance to sign the Argentina international in the summer.

international striker, have offered his [.

The tag of phenom can be taken off of former Barcelona youth player Giovanni Dos Santos.
After the hype that the Catalan media made about this kid being one of the stars of the future for
the blaugrana, he ended up in London.
