The signing season still has a way to go – until 31st of August - &anything can happen, however for the moment REAL MADRID ishaving difficulties with two key prospects. Firstly FRANCK RIBERYis drifting further away on a daily basis, with a hard-line BAYERNMUNICH that does not wish to sell the German – or at least to RealMadrid - & have put a "mind blowing" 80M€ price tag.

According to English paper "News Of The World" ( that in itselfmaybe dodgy) , CHELSEA FC has shifted its interest for BAYERNMUNICH Frenchmen FRANCK RIBERY & placed its sights on REALMADRID midfielder WESLEY SNEIJDER.Real Madrid paid 27M€ for the Dutchmen & is on the "list" of playersfor sale. However, Sneijder has already expressed his desire to stayat Real Madrid, but a good team & offer may

Have at it before the video is removed (7+ minutes).

Bayern had to be at its best to keep away Grafite and Dzeko away and Joerg Butt came up with some excellent saves. But the day belonged to Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben. The French attacking midfielder who came on in the second half and the Dutch winger in Van Gaal's 4-3-3 formation combined impeccably to rip the Wolfsburg defense with precision passing and clinical finishes.

The Bayern cabal have gotten mad over Real's pestering of Franck Ribery.

Today, Karl Heinz Rummenigge said that Real had been breaking FIFA rules repeatedly by tapping Ribery's agent without seeking the club's permission.

"I will be sending Florentino Perez, the president of Real, a letter recommending that they drop their attempts to tempt Franck away from us right now.

Arjen Robben announced his Bundesliga arrival by scoring a brace in Bayern's 3-0 win against Wolfsburg.

Wesley Sneijder was put into action right away by Jose Mourinho in Inter's blowout of Milan. Later, Mou praised him saying that Sneijder was an essential part of bringing balance to the club.

" Mmmmmmm. Where is my Rolodex? "

With Franck Ribery out, Bayern has been struggling without his creativity. They lost to Bordeaux, 0-2 in the CL and are almost out of contention to make the round of sixteen.

In the Bundesliga, Bayern are in sixth place with 19 points after five wins, four draws, and two losses.

Can this man exult any less?

Bayern Munich fully understands that its nemesis is Felix Magath who left the club disgraced two years ago. He came back to win the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg. Before the season was up, the protean Magath had signed a deal as Schalke's new coach.

Both clubs are on top of the Bundesliga while Bayern has managed two effete draws.

Real is preparing an offer for Bayern that will pry away the twinkle toed French midfielder.

The man himself has said it is Real or no go. Chelsea and Man Utd are left by the wayside yet again.

Está claro. Dejando de lado el rocambolesco partido entre Manchester United y CSKA, donde los rusos estuvieron a minutos de ganar en un campo histórico, la nota de la jornada ha sido la victoria Burdeos en tierras bávaras. Y sinceramente no estoy sorprendido en lo absoluto por el marcador final de 0-2 y el liderazgo del conjunto de Blanc en el Grupo A.
