In the race to sign Arsenal's Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor, AC Milan look to have admitted
defeat, just a few days after AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani proclaimed that he was to be
their only transfer target this summer: Milan remain true to their word, either Adebayor comes or
we keep things as they are.
Days after Arsene Wenger declares his interest in a player, Barcelona come along and ruin his plans
once again. Not content with unsettling Alexander Hleb and Emmanuel Adebayor, the Catalans have
also moved for a player before he's even reached The Emirates Stadium. Zenit St Petersburg have
confirmed that Barcelona have made an approach for their [.
Reports eminating from the Camp Nou claim that an astonishing double swoop is to take place by Rafa
Benitez. Forget Villa, Silva and the likes. Spanish sources close to the Anfield club have
suggested that a bid of £33 million has been laid down for the services of Eto'o and
Ronaldinho. No one could have fortold, [.
For the last two seasons, FC Barcelona have been going gaga over Diego Armando Maradona II Lionel
Messi. But there is another soldier in this highly talented and exceptional Barcelona army and we
are not talking about Ronaldinho here. Instead we are talking about a certain Andres Iniesta, the
Albacete-born Barcelona player who has been [.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is a master of picking up kids when they are in the mid-teens and
then restructuring them into world-class talents, Spanish superstar Cesc Fabregas being a prime
example. Fabregas was lured away from the Camp Nou when he was just 16 and it has now emerged that

Barcelona striker Thierry Henry has confessed his favourite place to play is not Camp Nou, but
rather a famous little location in north-west England.
Henry established himself as one of the world's greatest forwards during time at Arsenal, getting
his name on scoreboards all over the country as he notched up 174 goals in eight seasons.
When two rumours collide, you can end up generating one hell of a rumour, or possibly not....
Ronaldinho, Deco and Samuel Eto'o moved a step closer to the Camp Nou exit and potential transfers
to the Premier League after the new Barcelona coach, Pep Guardiola, revealed the trio are not part
of his plans for next [.
Pep Guardiola is determined to make his mark on world football as he continues to spend, spend,
spend at Camp Nou. Having already spent £6m on Manchester United's Gerard Pique, £8m on
Palmeiras' Henrique, £11m on Sevilla's Seydou Keita and £13m on Villareal's Martin
Caceres, the new Barca manager is still spending as he continues to [.
Wow! What a weekend of great football and – oh by the way - what a difference a few days off
from blogging will do to your numbers!
The great football I'm talking about was a long way from the Camp Nou or Old Trafford – in
fact, the pitch where I spent hours watching some fantastic football was about 15 miles from my
house.
Quick hello from Barcelona - and the slow computers of free-internet IES Barcelona. Attended
Barcelona-Racing Santander last night. A 1-0 win for Barça thanks to a Thierry Henry knock-in.
Couple observations and then the next time you´ll hear from me specifically is Wednesday. Thierry
Henry is simply a beast to watch in person.
With Alexander Hleb looking more and more likely to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer, Arsenal are looking to benefit from any transfer deal as much as possible.
Spanish giants Barcelona are reported to have agreed a deal in principal with the Belarusian himself, with only the fee to be sorted between the Catalans and Arsenal.
Eidur Gudjohnsen has sniffily rejected West Ham's amorous advances and instead would prefer to stay
at the Camp Nou. The Daily Mail reports that a bid from a gussied up West Ham was rejected by the
Iceland star. No amount of eyelash batting will convince Gudjohnsen, who apparently reckons ...
El club que preside Joan Laporta comienza a mirar a la próxima temporada, ya que el
título de esta Liga BBVA parece más que encaminado. El nombre que tienen marcado en rojo

que no le han dejado [...]

Ronaldinho seemed to be set on moving to Manchester City from Barcelona next season, but sources are now saying that he will be turning them down unless the current offer is increased.
City are said to have offered Ronaldinho a set contract worth £8million with an added £1.6m in bonuses, if the club qualify for Europe [.
Arsenal have today told Barcelona they must pay £5 million and exchange Yaya Toure if they are to have any chance of signing Alexander Hleb. The Gunners midfielder is almost certain to leave the Emirates this summer after admitting he can't settle in London. (Daily Star)

Barcelona were apparently willing to bid £8 million for Hleb, but Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was not willing to let the Belarus international away that cheap.
After weeks of the two clubs releasing statements saying how close they were to signing the player,
Barca and Milan look like they will miss out on Arsenal's 30-goal hero after he declared he wanted
to stay at the Emirates Stadium. Emmanuel Adebayor was expected to leave Arsenal in a
£25million deal for either the San [.
The Independent reports that new Man City boss Mark Hughes reckons that he can get Ronaldinho's
mind away from bars and women and back to football. The Brazilian's fall from grace at Barca has
left the Camp Nou High Command with no option but to let him go. "People are questioning
Ronaldinho's situation at [.

Belarusian finally gets his way Alexnder Hleb underwent a medical at Barcelona today, ahead of his
£11.9m move to the Camp Nou. Unless one of Hleb's legs falls off, the deal is in the bag.

While I could write about the Samuel Eto'o transfer rumors (yawn) or the possibility of Luis
Aragones replacing Unai Emery as head coach (whatever ...), I thought this was infinitely more
interesting ...
According to Setanta Sports, Valencia's Mestalla is Europe's noisiest
stadium.
After watching the Olympic semi-final between Argentine and Brazil, I couldn't help but notice how
poor Ronaldinho played. He was, without doubt the worst player on the pitch, and in my opinion
should of been taken off at half-time.
He was simply on the pitch by reputation alone. About an hour into the game, Brazil took of Rafael
Sobis and brought on Alexander Pato.
(Note: Since there was only minimal club action this weekend involving the WCR Top 25 Clubs, I am
posting the next in my series of Annual Rankings. I hope you enjoy it – or at least find it
interesting. The WCR Top 25 Clubs list will return next week.)
In the past, I've started off writing about each year by discussing events in the UEFA Champions
Cup tournament.

New Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola says Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Deco
are surplus to requirements at Camp Nou.
Guardiola, who has replaced Frank Rijkaard as Barca boss, admits he is not currently planning on
having the star trio in his squad next season.
New Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola has announced his arrival by confirming that the big three of
Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Deco are free to leave the Camp Nou as none of them form part of his
plans. In something of a surprise, Guardiola confirmed that he was looking to buy a new striker to
partner Thierry Henry.
AC Milan have finally admitted that they have no chance of signing the Arsenal striker identified
as their only summer transfer target, after being priced out of the market. The Rossoneri had said

from Spanish giants Barcelona.

Arsenal.
The brother of Arsenal defender Kolo has today claimed both Arsene Wenger and his brother were
trying to persuade him to move to England and sign for the Gunners but Yaya wasn't interested.
Esta vez le tocó al Valencia sufrir las consecuencias del vendaval de fútbol ofensivo que
este nuevo Barça de Guardiola ofrece cada vez que salta al campo. Y es que, como el propio
Jorge Valdano decía en la retransmisión del encuentro, los blaugrana hacen que el rival
parezca más pequeño. Tanto Atlético, como Almería y, [.
El club va a conseguir polongar el contrato del canterano hasta el 2013. Sólo falta la firma
del futbolista que, por medio de una reunión entre su representante y la directiva, ha llegado
a un acuerdo con el Barça, que se formalizará cuando Laporta y Txiki vuelvan desde
Japón. Sergio Busquets, hijo del ex portero Carles [.
Algunos se preguntarán el por qué elegimos este título para encabezar el
artículo, ya que hoy no hemos visto esa magnífica versión arrolladora de los de
Guardiola y, por el contrario, hemos podido contemplar el cambio que le ha imprimido Juande Ramos
al Madrid en menos de una semana. Estamos de acuerdo.

The match between Getafe and Sevilla was similar to one of those tug-of-love American tv movies for
La Liga Loca. But without the scenes of domestic violence and bad guys being stabbed in the eye
that are frequently broadcast pre-watershed in Spain.
