Well, it's Friday again. The week's certainly flown by, hasn't it? Speaking of flying, who could be
flying to a new locale soon? Read on, and you'll find out. Could Liverpool make a move for
Valencia's David Silva? Silva's price tag is 20 million pounds, so it may be a stretch at [...]
It's a pretty loaded day in transfer news and rumors, as there are several signings to report, and
there are a few more that could be official in the coming days. England According to BBC Sport,
Arsenal have all but tied up Marseille's Samir Nasri, as the 20-year old midfielder has reportedly
agreed a [.
If at first you don't succeed, pull out the checkbook and try again. That's the situation Chelsea
are in right now, after having their offer for Nicolas Anelka rejected by Bolton. As for what the
offer was, the reports don't say, but I can confirm, without a shadow of a doubt, that whatever
[...]
There has been no 'official' statement from Cristiano Ronaldo yet, but according to numerous
reports, he is already telling friends and family in Portugal that his heart's set on a move to
Real Madrid, either this year or next. Rumor Rating: 3 - Until something comes out of his mouth,
whether it's good [.
Just like David Villa might have made himself more money, and potentially earned himself about 27,000 transfer links, with his hat trick against Russia, Turkey's Arda Turan might have Galatasaray hiking up his value after that late cracker to beat Switzerland on Wednesday. Prepare to pay up, Newcastle.
As opposed to ending the roundup with the signings as I usually do, I'll start today's with the
signing news. Derby have been one of the busiest clubs since the transfer window opened, and are
set to wrap up a few more deals in the next couple of days. Former Newcastle and Portsmouth [...]
In today's roundup, we're giving the latest on quite a few rumors that we've heard throughout the
summer that are still in the news for one reason or another. But, we do have some relatively fresh
rumors to report on that are sprinkled throughout the bunch. England The Daily Mail, which is
sometimes more [.
Today's transfer roundup is pretty light, so you don‘t have to worry about your lunch getting
cold while you read. Wigan have made a couple of signings to help bolster their survival hopes,
bringing in former Tottenham defender Erik Edman from Rennes on a 500,000 pound deal, and Honduran
defender Maynor Figueroa from Olimpia.
It's the weekend, but I'm not taking any time off from keeping you updated with the latest transfer
news. It was too little, too late for the mystery club who came in for Everton's, well now,
Birmingham's James McFadden. After apparently balking at a move to the Midlands club due to a
second club entering [.
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 [...]
Well, it's a new week again, but today's roundup is a little shorter than some of the past few
Monday roundups. Still, there's plenty to talk about, so let's get to it! Italy So, is Jose
Mourinho prepared to just wait it out for Frank Lampard? In talking to TVI, he says it seems more
[...]
Well, after a month filled with a few moves and a lot of speculation, we've finally reached the
final day of the transfer window. I'll be reporting later on all of the action from what should be
a frantic day, but for now, here's all of the latest from yesterday and the early part [...]
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.
It's a pretty short day in transfer news and rumors, so if you have plenty to do, then hey, you
won't have to spend a lot of time on today's roundup. England Newcastle appear to finally have
agreed a fee with Deportivo over defender Fabricio Coloccini. The two sides seemed to be at a [...]
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
[...]
It's been a busy month with far more speculation than actual moves, but with only a few days left
in the January transfer window, you can expect to see a lot of movin', shakin', and possibly
shankin' in the next few days. This one is old news, but Milan Baros is back in the [...]
If someone runs into Austria's Ivica Vastic, can you tell him to save some of his lifetime supply
of beer for me? Could Luiz Felipe Scolari and Chelsea hijack Manchester City's potential move for
Ronaldinho? The Sun says that the new Chelsea boss and former Brazil head man will contact Ronnie
in the next [.
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 [...]
Pies puts together 11 players from the relegated Premier League clubs who still deserve to
be playing top flight football (Derby players are conspicuous in their absence...).
I'm back to give you the latest transfer headlines from around Europe, and there's a lot to discuss
in today‘s roundup, from Liverpool to Lyon. Everton are set to make a four million pound bid
for Manchester United's Darren Fletcher in the coming days. Rumor Rating: 3 - Fletcher may not want
to move from a [.
We might be jumping the gun here, but we'd like to think that Gerry would have written about Megan
Fox instead of French foibles and Ashley Cole if he'd gotten his hands on this collection of Megan
Fox snaps. It quite puts media coverage into perspective, doesn't? Airbrushed to death and all
that. Kind of [.
Andrei Arshavin played a starring role in Zenit St. Petersburg's UEFA Cup win over Rangers at City
of Manchester Stadium, and it might not be the last time he steps foot on the pitch at Eastlands.
Manchester City have reportedly put in a 10 million pound bid for the Russian playmaker, who has

Happy new year, everyone. The year may only be two days old, but already 2008 is well underway in
the Argentine footballing world. One basic but important thing to mention first: new president
Cristina Kirchner's decision to bring a daylight savings system back to Argentina means the country
is now only two hours behind Greenwich [.
In the words of José Mourinho's puppet character on "I'm On Setanta Sports", shut up, Wenger.
For those of you who haven't seen the gruesome pictures or seen video, Arsenal front man Eduardo da
Silva had his left leg nearly snapped at the ankle after a sliding challenge from Birmingham
defender Martin Taylor.
The old cliche says that the table never lies. Well, it does when you consider the average
attendances in the Premier League. While the Big Four rules based on points, Liverpool had a
smaller average attendance in the 2007/2008 season than Newcastle. Now you know why Hicks and
Gillett are so adamant about a new [.
All the latest transfer guff from the papers... The latest manager expressing a desire to take a
swig from the St James' poison chalice is ex-Liverpool supremo Gérard Houllier. (Various)
Manchester United chief exec David Gill has told anyone who will listen that the Old Trafford
transfer S.W.A.T. team will remain dormant for the January transfer frolics.
I'm back, and ready to disappoint a lot of people again. If you dislike Tottenham and Portsmouth,
you can selectively scroll around for the non-Tottenham and Portsmouth bits, because I may as well
warn you - there are quite a few today. I will be starting with something related to neither, but,
as [.
I know you're getting tired of Cristiano Ronaldo rumors, but given that they're in the news
everyday, I'm obligated to report on them every now and then, so I'll get it out of the way at the
start. Does Cristiano Ronaldo already have his future decided? His godfather says that his mind is
[...]
Much has been made of Chelsea's new transfer darling Anelka before tonight's live commentary and
play by play English Premier League match between Birmingham and Chelsea. There has also been talk
of midfield maestro Frank Lampard returning to the lineup at some point during tonight's game at
Birmingham.
Now that Derby County has been taken over by Americans, U.S. investors now own four of the 20
Premier League clubs. The others are Liverpool, Manchester United and Aston Villa. In all, 50% of
Premier League clubs are owned by foreign investors. The question is, which clubs are next? <a

There are a wealth of players Arsene Wenger has deemed not up to his high standards and has let
leave the north London club. 99.9% of the time his decision making has been sound, but could recent
comments with regard to one of his former charges indicate a possible mistake the boss made and
might [..
After Germany sent the Portuguese packing in the first quarterfinal, there are seven sides left
in contention for the Euro 2008 title, and for the other nine, summer has begun. Of course, in
football circles, summer means more than just sunshine and margaritas by the pool. Summer is
transfer season, and for some of the recent dropouts from Euro 2008, the end of their tournament
means they can concentrate on getting just slightly more ridiculously wealthy.
I know I had said that I would do this roundup before Saturday's matches but I didn't say which
Saturday ! Seriously though I do apologize for not posting this sooner but things got busy in
arranging and finalizing my own "transfer". As I mentioned in my last transfer update, my wife and
I [...]
Don't fault me for the fact that this roundup is filled with news about strikers. If you hate
goals, goals, and more goals, well, something's wrong with you. A day after Lyon striker Fred said
he'd rejected offers from Tottenham and PSG, Goal.com says that the striker is supposed to be
joining Tottenham [.
Birmingham continues to disappoint in this live commentary and play by play English Premier League
soccer match between West Ham and Birmingham. Alex McLeish arrived on the back of a fine reputation
and run with the Scottish international team but after an amazing win in his first game, have been
coughing up one disappointing result after another.
In the words of José Mourinho's puppet character on "I'm On Setanta Sports", shut up, Wenger. For
those of you who haven't seen the gruesome pictures or seen video, Arsenal front man Eduardo da
Silva had his left leg nearly snapped at the ankle after a sliding challenge from Birmingham
defender Martin Taylor.
Gerry McDonnell returns with his weekly betting column on the English Premier League. Even though I
was brought up as a Catholic, I have never followed a spiritual path. I blame an over-zealous
Priest for my descent into heresy; he was constantly on my back when I was young. If my memory
serves me correctly, Easter [.
The inimitable (we're running out of adjectives) betting expert Gerry McDonnell gives his take on
this weekend's FA Cup action, Premier League action and all the other action he loves watching on
the telly. The adult film industry has many knockers, but I remain a fully-fledged supporter. My
only possible critique would be that [.
Pies rates each Premier League team based on the 07/08 campaign Arsenal (3rd) Played some quite
beautiful football at times but faded badly in the last quarter of the season, after leading the
pack - Arsene Wenger should have added...
Now that Euro 2008 is over, don't be surprised if you go through withdrawal symptoms over the next
few days. But while one of the most entertaining European Championships in recent history has
finished, many Premier League clubs will begin playing their first friendlies as early as next
week. With only 47 days to go until [.
