Reports are emanating on the grapevine that Arsene Wenger is very keen on Wolfsburg's impressive playmaker Zvjezdan Misimovic who could apparently be available for as little as £6m although some suggest that the German champions would accept nothing less than a fee in the region of £10m.

Der VfL Wolfsburg steht nach dem 2:1-Erfolg gegen 1899 Hoffenheim auf Platz fünf der Bundesliga-Tabelle und gehört somit wieder zur Spitzengruppe des deutschen Fußballs. Das Besondere an diesem Sieg: Das entscheidende Tor zum Siegtreffer schoss Grafite. Der brasilianische Stürmer, in der vergangenen Meisterschafts-Saison der Stürmer der Bundesliga schlechthin, wurde zum Sorgenkind unter dem neuen Trainer Armin Veh.

One of these players just doesn't belong. Can you tell which player is not like the others?

From left to right: former Dortmund striker Márcio Amoroso, Wolfsburg striker Grafite, Bayern striker Luca Toni and Nuremberg striker/midfielder Marek Mintal.

VfL Wolfsburg vs Besiktas

Last year's Bundesliga champions have been disappointing this season. They have only shown glimpses of the wonderful attacking football that we were all spoiled with this past year.

Grafite is back from a club-enforced break following his red card against Besiktas a fortnight ago.

Wolfsburg stiker Grafite was shown a straight red in Wednesday's Champions League match against Besiktas for this nonchalant no-look backhand to the face of defender Ibrahim Kas in the 74th minute.

Had it not been for the cameras and the reaction and, you know, everyone seeing it right away I think he would have gotten away with the sneaky slap, too.

It seemed the CL was full of petulant players slapping one another. This time it was Grafite slapping Kas in the Wolfsburg vs Besiktas match. It got him the red card.

Manchester United vs CSKA Moscow

I believe there is some drama to be had from Group B and I expect this fixture to provide it. The table at the moment has United with six points and then Wolfsburg and Moscow with three points.

When United visit Russia they will have a difficult task on their hands.

Its a list, and a damned long one, but well worth taking a look at! We love Four Four Two, almost as much as we love Fennec Fox's.

Nach acht Spieltagen steht der aktuelle deutsche Meister, VfL Wolfsburg, lediglich auf Platz sieben der Tabelle. Bereits jetzt beträgt der Rückstand auf Spitzenreiter Bayer Leverkusen sieben Punkte. Die Leistungen der Wolfsburger waren diese Saison bislang alles andere als schlecht; das Problem ist jedoch, dass bislang zu wenig Zählbares dabei herauskam.

Ich bin keine 20 mehr. Ich glaube, ich habe ein bisschen mehr Respekt verdient.

Grafite, Stürmer vom Meister VfL Wolfsburg und Torschützenkönig der letzten Saison, ist sauer, dass er schon in der 52. Minute nach einem äußerst schlechten Spiel von Trainer Armin Veh ausgewechselt wurde.

Ninety minutes (excluding added time and ‘Fergie time') this morning reminded me why I stay up at 2.45am to watch twenty-two millionaires play the beautiful game. What an encounter it was between the German and English title holders, truly CHAMPIONS league football! I've learnt never to doubt a German man (ladies, please take note) because Wolfsburg manager Armin Veh was true to his word when he said he would be attacking Manchester United from the start at the Theatre of Dreams.

CSKA Moscow vs Besiktas

Turkish side Besiktas are making the always difficult trip to Russia to face Moscow. They come off a 1-0 loss to Manchester United and will be keen to get a point in Russia.

To do so they will have to find the back of the net, something they have had problems doing.

As relative tame as Tuesday's half of the UEFA Champions League Matchday Two was, Today's half has the makings of an unforgettable round.

Four high-profile match-ups headline the eight-match menu, including Bayern Munich-Juventus, Manchester United-Wolfsburg, Real Madrid-Marseille and FC Porto-Atletico Madrid.

Matchday Two of the Champions League is fast approaching and one thing for sure is that VfL Wolfsburg should provide something of a tougher test than United's previous opponents in the competition. Yes while Besiktas were plucky and persistent, the German champions are a far more accomplished outfit and you've probably heard that they're not too bad up front either.

Wednesday night sees last years runners up Manchester United take centre stage, as they face Bundesliga champions Wolfsburg at Old Trafford. Both teams got off to a winning start in week one but with home advantage, it's United that will be under the most pressure to perform in week two.

The Wolves are on the hunt at Old Trafford. And I don't mean the ones that got slaughtered by Sunderland over the weekend. This is the real deal, the German Wolves known as Verein für Leibesübungen Wolfsburg-Fußball GmbH but more conveniently referred to as VfL Wolfsburg. As the reigning Bundesliga champions, this is their first foray into the UEFA Champions League, and what better way to be introduced into the top tier of European football than with a trip to the reigning English and World club champions (it really hurts me to not be able to put European champions).

Three wins, two draws and one defeat makes for a balanced but not too glorious start to this year's European season.

Wolfsburg. You are never too old for an impressive Champions League debut. Grafite (30) scored a hat-trick and became only (or already?) the sixth player to do so on his debut.

The site Futebol Finance produced a list of the top 25 salaries of Brazilian footballers around the world. The surprise? The list has a number of players who are veterans or have not produced much in recent seasons. That shows us that even in football, the brand is what counts. What is also scary about the list?

The German Bundesliga much like other European leagues returned to action with Week 5 of exciting action. Hamburg continued its unbeaten start with another offensive explosion with a 3-1 home win over Stuttgart. Mladen Petric, Eljero Elia, Zé Roberto each scored their 2nd goals of the season.

Hamburg SV maintain their great start to the season with a convincing 3-1 win over Stuttgart, New signing Eljero Elia, fresh from his first goal international goal in the week, put in a man of the match performance, providing the pass for Petric's screamer, before scoring a scorcher himself.

OK so we're only two games in but could we be seeing the early signs of how the new Bundesliga season is going to shape up? At the end of last season, most pundits believed that Wolfsburg might dip somewhat following their magnificent success last season and the inevitable departure of their best forwards, not to mention that of Svengali coach Felix Magath.

coach to lead England to a World Cup semifinals in 1990, and on a club
level he achieved even greater results while coaching Ipswich Town,
Porto or Barcelona. Click to continue reading...

Wolfsburg won the historical Bundesliga title last season, mostly thanks to fantastic striker partnership between Edin Dzeko and Grafite. The club somehow managed to hold on to the striking duo, whereas they even managed to reinforce the strongest attack in Germany. The Wolves signed Obafemi Martins from Newcastle for a reported fee of £9 million, with the Nigerian signing a four-year contract.

I tend to get too excited about the young kids, when they move. I will often over-value the transfers of the the Zuculini, Sven Bender and Lewis Holtby's of the footballing world. I will see Ralf Fahrmann's move to Eintracht as the bargain of the century. But youth takes time to develop, so this year I am going to concentrate on the seven best transfers made so far this summer, in relation to how the players will aid their teams in the coming year.

Wolfsburg Bundesliga şampiyonu olarak zaten büyük bir iş başarmış iken golcüleri Dzeko ve Grafite'yi elde tutarak önümüzdeki sezon için de iddialı durumda kalmak niyetindeydi. ŞL ve Bundesliga'da iki golcü yetmeyebilir diyerek Newcastle'dan Martins'in peşine düşmüşlerdi. Az önce Newcastle'ın Wolfsburg'dan gelen 9 milyon pound'luk teklifi kabul ettiği geçti ajanslarda.

Every year Premiership managers conspire to spend millions of pounds on exotic sounding foreign players whose names have never graced the screens of an English TV. Last year it was Marouane Fellaini, a £15 million signing for Everton. And what's more, his tough tackling, willingness to play ludicrously out of position, and even more ludicrous haircut have made the Premiership a better place over the last twelve months.

After Cruzeiro's 3-1 victory over Gremio, Maxi Lopes from Gremio was detained by two police officers. The accusation: racism. Cruzeiro's Elicarlos accused the Argentinean forward of calling him "macaco" (monkey). The term is usually used in Argentina when trying to offend a Brazilian.

During the match, the two players had an argument.

German Bundesliga champions VFL Wolfsburg have unveiled their new home, away, goalkeeper and Champions League shirts for the 2009-10 season. The new kits are made by Adidas. The home shirt ( modeled by striker Grafite in this picture), is primarily white in colour, with green stripes running down from the collar to the right side of [. Click to continue reading...

A few days ago we brought you the musical stylings of Grafite and here we have the equally cringe-inducing a capella efforts of Florent Malouda.

On stage with raggae singer Fantan Mojah at his show in French Guiana a few days ago, Malouda is coaxed into singing a few lines of Mojah's "How Can I Be Ungrateful?

Bundesliga leading scorer Grafite is back home in Brazil for the offseason and to celebrate his personal achievements and Wolfsburg's league title, he has apparently decided to share his musical stylings with the few people willing to subject themselves to something so horrible.

In the video above, Grafite appears out of nowhere at about the 3:12 mark, without a shirt on which seems oddly appropriate.

If you were wondering where AC Milan might spend some of the money just secured from the sale of Kaka, look no further than Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko.

Haven't heard of Dzeko (pronounced Jeh-ko)? If you don't follow the German Bundesliga then it might have been easy to miss the dream season he just enjoyed with Bundesliga champions VFL Wolfsburg.
