All that most football managers really want for Christmas is a promising young player to emerge as
an established star in the coming year. As the game becomes more and more global and the wealth of
the bigger clubs increases, so too do the scouting networks of these clubs which now extend to
every continent and [.
Unfortunately for many football fans young and old alike, and for that matter, many a manager as
well, jolly old Saint Nick doesn't grant transfer wishes, though that copy of Football Manager 09
and that Ronaldo replica kit will do for many of you, I'd imagine. However, I'd venture a guess and
say that [.
We've all had our questions about how Landon Donovan will fit into the scheme at Bayern Munich when
his loan starts in January and the picture may be getting clearer. As it turns out, an unfortunate
injury to Stuttgart striker Mario Gomez, who tore a muscle in 2-0 win over Schalke last weekend (in
which he scored), may end up impacting Donovan's playing time at Bayern.
He is strong on the pitch, always determined to do the uttermost to help his team win each game,
and his creativity always puts his side's performances on a higher plane. However, it seems his
courage and stamina fade away outside the stadium. Bastian Schweinsteiger, four times a Bundesliga
champion is a fantastic player whose brilliance [.
Bastian Schweinsteiger is, and let's call a spade a spade here, an ugly bastard. An ugly bastard
dude with money and fame, which tends to attract shallow beer-guzzling, pseudo-model types like Ms.
Brandner over there. (See....nearly every WAG imaginable.) And they're in love, which is nice. But
she's not the only one who's in love [.
Bastian Schweinsteiger was quite a sight at the Bayern Christmas party - he donned a long
blonde wig to disguise himself as his girlfriend, Sarah Brandner!
The Bundesliga star was joined by his teammate at the Circus Krone for a crazy party held by Bayern
and BILD's 'Ein Herz fuer Kinder' children's charity.
Tuesday wasn't a particularly busy day in transfer news and rumors, but the cupboard's not
completely bare of speculation involving some of the top clubs and players around Europe. Benzema
Dreams of Real Maybe Karim Benzema's mother thought it was cute when little Karim said that he'd
play for Real Madrid one day, but now [.

It's a new week, and there's a wealth of transfer news and rumors to run through as we get a new
week started. Manchester United in Pole Position for Benzema? Will Manchester United be the team to
beat for Karim Benzema's signature? They just might be, but it will hinge on their decision
regarding Carlos [.
Tottenham are linked with more reinforcements (no central midfielders though), Podolski is linked
with a move to England, the Owen to Liverpool and Arshavin to England rumours will never die, and
will Beckham find a permanent home in Milan? Spurs Plan Spending Spree Christmas has come early for
Harry Redknapp, who is interested in putting in bids [.
Today's Transfer Rumor Roundup focuses on two Premiership clubs that promise to spend big, as well
as a third that could join them. We'll also take a look at one player who went from franchise
cornerstone to someone who could leave in January, as well as Tottenham's continued quest for a new
goalkeeper.
For most Manchester United fans, it is an easy question and a simple answer, Tevez.
So far, Dimitar Berbatov lethargic displays which haven't exactly been consistent, is the first
choice striker mainly due to his £30 million price tag. Although the Bulgarian silky touch is
unquestionable, his lazy like contribution would have baffled the fans, especially when you have
the hardworking Carlos Tevez on the bench.
Esta muy cerca la contratación del defensa mexicano Aaron Galindo con las Chivas del
Guadalajara. Ya hay un acuerdo con el club Eintracht Frankfurt de Alemania y solo falta el acuerdo
económico con el jugador, que sin duda alguna las Chivas le ofrecerán buen dinero y lo
tiene ya amarrado. Entiendo lo de las Chivas que [.
For those of us who are consumed by football every year brings new thrills and disappointments, a
million what ifs and if onlys and ultimately a feeling of elation, satisfaction or despair,
depending on where our unfailing loyalties lie. We laugh and cry, argue and debate, get
over-emotional and sometimes regret what we say but [.
Today's transfer roundup isn't light on speculation involving big names and big clubs. Some of it's
nothing but filler and hot air, but somewhere in there is at least a little truth. Where is that
truth? Well, read on to find it. Real's Ron Deal Back On? Don't shoot the messenger, but the [...]
Is it safe to say most, if not all, of non-Bayern fans in Germany were rooting for Hoffenheim?
Probably? Close enough. The battle between Hoffenheim & Bayern, first and second in the Bundesliga
respectively, was as advertised. A highly exciting game deserving of its billing as the battle of
the Bundesliga's best - if the finishing [.
Last week Damon beat Damian 3-1 to increase his lead to 18 points. In this week's predictions
battle we look at games from the Premier League, Serie A, the Bundesliga, The Mexican League, the
FIFA Club World Club and Spain's big derby game. DB DF RES Tottenham - Man Utd Barcelona - R.
Damian keeps chipping away at Damon's lead. If it carries on like this, it will be a close run in
at the end of the season. This week there are some big games in Spain, and some interesting clashes
in the Bundesliga, the Premier League, Greece and Italy. 08/09 Podcast 17 DB DF RES West Ham v
Tottenham 1-3 B.
Michael Bradley's Borussia Moenchengladbach side is making some shrewd deals this winter to keep
themselves afloat in the Bundesliga during the second half of the season. Canadian vet Paul
Stalteri, who last played in the Bundesliga for Werder Bremen, has been signed from Tottenam
Hotspur. The versatile 31 year-old can play in defense or midfield and his playing style is
uniquely suited to the forceful play of the Bundesliga.
It's December 1st toaday, which means exactly one month until the January transfer window opens.
And it's going to be a weird one. Not just because of Man City's recent ascent to wealthidom, but
more because of the recent end of the world economic megameltdown. I believe that's the technical
term. Last transfer window (summer '08) [.
Cristiano Ronaldo has won the 2008 Ballon D'Or award by an overwhelming margin. Ronaldo comfortably
beat his main rivals Messi and is now the fourth Manchester United player (after Law, Charlton and
Best) and the first England-based player since Michael Owen to win the France Football award. The
Ballon D'Or will go nicely with his UEFA [.
Add another club to the list of teams interested in Standard Liege's American defender Oguchi
Onyewu. Now, Kicker is reporting that Borussia Moenchengladbach (Michael Bradley's team)
is interested in acquiring Gooch.
While 'Gladbach could certainly use help on the back line, its hard to see Gooch taking a transfer
to a team which appears bound for relegation to the Second Bundesliga (unless he is confident
enough to think he can help them stay up).

The 08-09 Champions League group stages are over with the usual suspects sneaking through (what
will happen when an English club doesn't make it through to the group stages one year? mass media
suicide, I expect, or rather hope...) from England and Europe. 16 teams, 8 second-round matches,
can't face your group-mate, a team from your [.
The latest reports from Glasgow are suggesting that Aiden McGeady is set to leave Celtic after
another intense argument with boss Gordon Strachan. It seems that Strachan doesn't want McGeady in
the team anymore, even though the young winger has to be given a lot of credit for Celtic's recent
success.
Villa had already qualified for the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup, so in some ways last night's
game was irrelevant, meaning the B-team was trawled out to Germany to face an impressive Hamburg at
full strength. But then in other ways winning the game did have relevance, such as pride, morale
and an easier [.

Canada Team captain Paul Stalteri is heading back to Germany. Stalteri has now left Tottenham of
the Premier League for Borussia Monchengladbach of Germany's Bundesliga to begin the season
starting January 1, 2009. The fullback was with the Werder Bremen of Germany back in 2005 and now
he's back there again.

There are some interesting rumors floating out there today. Is Lukas Podolski staying or going? Are

big name could be heading to the U.S.? And are Manchester City preparing to shatter the transfer
record [.
Not that Juergen Klinsmann's club ever really left. These are the defending German champions, after
all. But the way Bayern started the season you could be forgiven for writing them off as also-rans:
Seven games into the Bundesliga campaign, the club's tally was a whopping nine points. That might
not seem that bad for fans of Sunderland or West Bromwich Albion, but for the likes of Bayern
Munich it was very disappointing indeed.
Werder Bremen star midfielder Diego has dismissed reports of him leaving the German Bundesliga club
anytime soon as mere speculation. In an exclusive interview with Goal.com, the Brazilian
international has said that he is very happy playing in the German Bundesliga. The former teammate
of Robinho at Santos insists that he is very delighted to play [.
It's not often a field player is forced to throw on the keeper gloves. Even rarer that he has to be
baptized by penalty. Once in a blue moon when they actually stop it. But midfielder Jan Rosenthal
was forced into that position in the 82nd minute of the derby between Wolfsburg and Hannover 96.

Timo Hildebrand ist also zurück im Fussballsport. Also in Mannheim Hoffenheim. Jedenfalls
zwischen den Pfosten, nicht nur auf der Bank. Wieder ganz klein anfangen. Denkt man sich ( im Rest
der Bundesliga ). Doch der kleine Timo ist schon wieder ganz groß. Der gibt nämlich
direkt die Nationalmannschaft als Ziel aus.
Could the latest turn in the rift between Celtic star Aiden McGeady and manager Gordon Strachan be
the beginning of the end of McGeady's Celtic career? The 22-year old Ireland international has been
suspended for two weeks without pay after a bust-up with Strachan after Saturday's 1-1 draw with
Hearts.
