Football ends for the summer and we have two months of transfer speculation, money-spinners
pre-season friendlies and the first act of league action across Europe (before the break for World
Cup 2010 qualification starts) to look forward to. A look at today's latest transfer rumors,
including some of the tripe from Sunday: Apparently some moron [.
There's still no news on what Cristiano Ronaldo plans to do, but that should be coming sometime
today. So, thankfully for those who want a break from him, there's no Ronaldo spec in today's
transfer roundup. There is, however, Manchester United-related news, which I'll start with.
According to The Sun, Manchester [.

rumours column see our transfer news section. This page is updated frequently, so if you find a

Blackburn chairman John Williams has revealed that three clubs are interested in keeper Brad
Friedel. Aston Villa and Manchester City we knew - but now Arsenal have been thrown into the mix
for the 37-year-old American. Paul Ince is said...
Today's transfer roundup has plenty of tasty bits, much like a certain set of articles that will
appear on Soccerlens in the coming days. But you'll have to wait and see what I'm referring to,
much like several of these clubs below will have to wait and see if they'll get the targets [...]
It's a new week, and there's plenty of transfer news from the weekend to go over in the Monday
roundup. Cardiff may have lost their chance at a place in Europe, but they could be on the verge of
a nice little cash injection from Manchester United, if they choose to accept United's [...]
Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is looking to strengthen his squad on the defensive end which has
him targetting a number of players, including three Americans.
The team needs a roster deep enough in quality to hold its own in League and European play this
season. "I would hope for us to have a real proper squad, at least the size of, say, Everton.
Since today's Sunday, there's not a great deal to report on, as is the case most Sundays. But,
there are some intriguing tidbits to go over, starting with Chelsea, who are looking to make the
splash of all splashes. England So, there's no secret that Chelsea want Kaka. AC Milan's Adriano
Galliani [.
A manager's success is directly tied to the players he recruits, so naturally, the manager needs to
make his money count. Clubs always have reservations about making money available to their manager,
especially when players like David Nugent are bought for £6 million, but these ten buys were
truly divine.
Transfer Season is to put it lightly, hectic. That's why it has been interesting to see the
talk about Michael Bradley go down. With teams like Hamburg, Bayer Leverkusen,
Middlesborough, Blackburn, and Monaco all vying for Bradley's signature, you'd think there would be
plenty of talk, but there hasn't been recently.
I'll get today's transfer roundup started by getting your obligatory Berbatov tidbit out of the way
first. Juande Ramos has slapped a 31 million GBP price tag on his prized asset. So, if you want to
get him, you'll have to pay an arm and a leg to get him, or, if you're [...]
Rafa clearly seems to be planning for the future, a future which could well include a homegrown
player rule change and therefore it's no surprise that Liverpool are being linked with more and
more English talent, these two often cited players are apparently a lot nearer to leaving their
current clubs.
Great match yesterday as Turkey played Germany off the park but had their luck run out on them.
Still, one of the standout teams in the tournament and Fatih Terim is a wanted man across Europe
now. On to today's rumours and transfer gossip: Rumours abound that Arsenal are lining up Peter
Crouch as a [.
Today's transfer roundup is relatively short, what with it being the weekend and all, but there's
some pretty good spec to serve up. AC Milan have reportedly thrown their name into the Samuel Eto'o
race, as they've made a bid of 20 million euros for the striker, who's also on Inter, Tottenham's,
and [.
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.
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 [...]

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 [.
There's not a great deal to report on in today's transfer roundup, but we've got all the latest in
the Frank Lampard and Emmanuel Adebayor sagas and more, so the cupboard certainly isn't bare by any
means. England I'm sure many might be wearing thin of certain players being mentioned, but hey, I'm
just [.
There's precious little to talk about today - most of it hyperbole and conjecture, with the usual
scramble across Europe for strikers and desperate pimping of stars no one wants to buy. Andrei
Arshavin has his 15 minutes of fame - the Russian was reported by BBC Radio Live yesterday to have
agreed to join [.
While Texas and Mexico recover from storms during the week, please join me in hoping that Eddie is
well and in discussing today's latest transfer rumours (yesterday's rumour roundup was done here).
Today we have key decisions for several clubs and players to make as Liverpool choose between two
midfielders and lose to Arsenal in [.
The opening day of the new 2008/2009 Premier League season is over, and there was plenty of
entertainment in store. We'll share our opinions of what we saw on the pitch over the next few
days. But first, for viewers in the United States, I want to share my thoughts on the coverage from
Setanta [...]
The Premiership woke up this morning to a lot of excitement. Everton fans were celebrating breaking
their transfer record, West Ham fans were incredulous that they had sold half their defence without
replacing them, Liverpool fans were "overjoyed" at signing two foreign 18 year olds to
add to their increasing collection of foreign 18 year olds, [.
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 [...]
There's not a great deal to report on today, unless you want to hear a few recycled rumors
regarding the ‘will he, won't he?' sagas of Emmanuel Adebayor, Alexander Hleb, and Andrei
Arshavin. But, there are some signings to report from around Europe, so the cupboard certainly
isn't bare in news. England Milan [.
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 [.
Hear that? That's the 'ching ching' that Valencia's bigwigs are dreaming about after David Villa's hat trick for Spain on Tuesday. There's no Villa rumors in today's roundup, but I'm sure there will be soon.
So, it's official: Aaron Ramsey will be moving from Cardiff to Arsenal in the next couple of days.
Sadly, we could've turned this thing into an all-Prem list, but did our best to look elsewhere.
Didn't turn out so well. The problem is so many sums paid in the Premiership dwarf that of those in
other leagues - Serie A, Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, etc. - that it can make their normally [...]
Finding the Lonely Hearts of Euro 2008 the perfect home in the Premier League
Arsenal - Artur Boruc Poland's keeper was in top form during the competition and a
move to a top four club could be enough to tempt him away from Celtic. The Gunners - with Jens
Lehmann on his way out - could be interested.
Well folks, another week has flown by, and it's already Friday again. But, before you call it a
week and do whatever it is you do on the weekends, check out today's roundup of transfer news and
rumors. England Tottenham have beaten Benfica to the signature of Espanyol's Luis Garcia (no, not
the [.
UKFF is fast becoming the home of the soccerette. So due to popular demand we thought we'd launch a
brand new weekly column, simply called, 'Girl of the week'. And to get the ball rolling we'd like
to introduce the gorgeous Annabella Bottali.
Guess who's back? A hurricane in the area knocked out the electricity for a few days, but I'm alive
and in one piece, and I'm back to deliver all the latest in the world of transfers. It appears that
I've missed a lot, but thanks to Ahmed, you haven't. Big thanks to Ahmed [...]
United States international Michael Bradley is currently attracting the interest of three English
clubs. With Celtic also hot on his heels, Dutch club Heerenveen has stated that Bradley is
available for transfer at the right price. Bradley is fresh off of the Olympics and is returning to
Europe today.
There's really only a couple (well, one to be specific) deal that many people followed on transfer
deadline day, but while many looked to see if Dimitar Berbatov would sign for Manchester United and
who Manchester City would nab with their newly-acquired mega-riches, many watched the window to see
if someone would come through the [.
Can someone clue me in - did Tottenham always have this much to spend, or is it the fact that
they're realizing that winning is nice that's making them shell out big bucks? Today's transfer
rumors are Spurs-heavy, so if you hate Tottenham, or are a Spurs fan who doesn't want to get their
hopes [...]
Six rumours, but which is most likely to materialise? 1. Wayne Bridge to Juventus
Claudio Ranieri is eager to sign Wayne Bridge for the second time in his career to rescue him from
playing second fiddle to Ashley Cole. The Turin giants will battle a host of English clubs for
Bridge's signature and have made an official approach to Chelsea.
As we say goodbye to 2008 and ring in 2009, we've got the latest for you in transfer news and
rumors. The opening of the winter transfer window could bring a flurry of activity over the next
few days, so many people could have something to celebrate besides the new year. 22:38 - Here's a
[...]
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 [...]
I thought it would be interesting to try to make an eleven out of players that cost nothing! Either
they came through the ranks to make it into the big time or were wise investments that cost less
than a peanut! Brad Friedel (Blackburn) – Commonly cited as one of the best keepers in the
Premier [..
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 [...]
