The transfer window is open, and that means the rumors and news items are going to be flying off
the wire with blistering speed for the next month. The Nicolas Anelka to Chelsea rumors are heating
up now that both parties have admitted their undying lust for one another. Anelka, a man of
ambition, wants [.
Once the Euros wrap up tomorrow, you can expect a flurry of transfer activity to start happening
across Europe starting 1st July. We'll be there to cover everything (everything important, at
least), but today there's precious little to go on apart from some footballers confirming their
lack of intelligence and some managers confirming that [.
Wow, thanks to EPL Talk, we all can gaze in awe at Reebok's terribly ugly 2008 Bolton Wanderers
shirt, easily the club house leader for ugliest home shirt in the 2008 Premiership. This thing is
hideous. Is that grey bit for the sports bra? I don't get it.
So, the transfer deadline (August 31) has passed and the football market is now closed. Closed? Not
quite. Indeed, while transfers from one club to another will have to wait until January to resume,
teams may still sign players as free agents (and that until March 31, 2009). So, inspired from this
Top 11 Serie A [.
Finally, we have some signings, because it can get a little boring talking about speculation
sometimes. Reports indicate that Chelsea have beaten Manchester United and Juventus to the
signature of Serbian defender Branislav Ivanovic. Chelsea have agreed a 8.9 million GBP deal with
Lokomotiv Moscow for the 23-year old, who looked to be [.
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 [.
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 [...]
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 [.
Sam Allardyce might have been sacked by Newcastle United not too long ago but the former Bolton
Wanderers boss has in no way lost the respect if the football community. The Shields Gazette has
reported that Big Sam is a firm favorite to hold reigns of the Republic of Ireland national team.
The FAI is interested [.
I'm back to give you all the latest in transfer news and rumors from around Europe and elsewhere,
and after we all take a moment to digest/laugh at/make some sort of remark on the coincidence of
Dimitar Berbatov signing a Manchester United shirt, you can get start getting caught up on today's
headlines.
In preparation for every game, Arsene Wenger gives his players a motivational handout that helps to
focus his team on the task ahead. A copy of the handout was found in a Bolton hotel for this past
weekend's 3-1 win by Arsenal at the Reebok Stadium. Here's a transcript of what the handout said:
Confidential Team meeting [.

There's quite a lot of money being thrown about and quite a lot to talk about in today's transfer
roundup. Let's get to it, shall we? England Liverpool have sealed a £20.3m deal for Tottenham
striker Robbie Keane. Rumor Rating: 5 - Fernando Torres is a happy, happy man right now. Liverpool
needed to [.
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, [.
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 [.
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 [...]
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.
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.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. We have a lot of juicy bits to get to, including an
unlikely career resurrection, an even more unlikely spending spree, and a family reunion you
thought you would see when Hell froze over. Arsenal to Go on Spending Spree? The idea of Arsene
Wenger spending big is about as foreign [.
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 [...]
With Euro 2008 winding down this week, a lot of transfer dominos are sure to start falling soon, so
expect more signings to go with the daily spec. There are a few signings to report today, but there
are quite a few interesting rumors as well, so get to reading! Rumor Rating System 1 - [...]
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 [.
The Euro 2008 shop window opens in a week's time - managers across Europe will have their scouting
scopes trained at the 8 Euro 2008 stadiums looking for the best and brightest young talent to bring
in during the following transfer window. Here's a look at the 5 hottest prospects traveling to Euro
2008 this summer: Jakub [.
There are a lot of noteworthy names to report on in today's transfer roundup, as a few ongoing
transfer sagas could be set to wrap up soon - or maybe they're just heating up. Is Chelsea coming
in for Ronaldinho at the last minute? Is David Bentley getting the big move that he [...]
For soccer fans in the United States, it's the $179.88 question. That's the cost* for the next 12
months for hundreds of live football matches on Setanta Sports. But in these tough economic times,
should you splash the cash? And, if not, what Premier League matches featuring your favorite club
will you miss?
There's not a great deal of earth-shattering news to report on today, since it's Sunday and all,
but hey, to spice things up on a rest day, we do have a never-ending transfer saga to update you
on. See, I knew the whole Gareth Barry saga wasn't over, despite Aston Villa's insistence that
Liverpool [.
Here are my predictions of how I think the Premier League will finish at the end of the 2008/2009
season. Manchester United will continue to excel, while I believe Spurs have the talent and
determination to break into the top four knocking Liverpool into fifth place. Liverpool has done
well to capture Robbie Keane, but the [.
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 [.
Finally, Nicolas Anelka is off to Chelsea, so we can breathe a collective sigh of relief. Everyone
has what they want, as Anelka is finally on the move again (it took long enough, didn't it?),
Chelsea have their striker (and didn't ‘overpay'), and Bolton have the money to do a little
spending. And, [.

We round off the week in transfer rumors with the biggest rumor of the week by far. Oh, and
Newcastle are still looking for a left back too. Manchester City to Make January Move for Buffon?
Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon is high on Manchester City's January wish list, and he could be
the subject [.
Arsenal moved smoothly to the top of the Premier League and Right Result table with an impressive
win at Bolton Wanderers. All did not go according to script at their former bogey ground though...
Emmanuel Eboue netted his first league goal for the Gunners but the Ivorian's equaliser should have
been ruled out for offside.
Well it's that time of year again as the January transfer window is about to open and not even a
global financial crisis has prevented the Premier League's transfer rumour mill going into
overdrive as what all the comings and going could be in the next few months. But despite the
whirlwind of rumours, the harsh [.
Meg loves Mig 4eva? 1. Miguel Veloso to Bolton Gary Megson is
hoping to jump the queue to sign Manchester United target Veloso. The Sporting Lisbon midfielder
would cost £16 million. [The Sun]
The English Premiership's most costly bench-warmers have been revealed today in a new list
published by football scouting website IMScouting.com. The list gives a "Cost per game"
value for each club's top benchwarmer, i.e. a ratio of the player's salary divided by the number of
games played since August 2007.
Plans are being finalized for the 2009 Premier League Asia Trophy. So far, Chelsea, West Ham United
and Hull City have been invited to participate in the tournament which is likely to be held in
China, in either Beijing or Shanghai. The 2007 edition of the tournament was hosted in Hong Kong
where Portsmouth won the [.
