i don't know, i think milan's midfield is pretty ripe for the picking as far as dempsey is concerned...in a change from the last few seasons, milan is involved in a lot of transfer rumors too, so a lot of the old guard may be headed out

benzema to man u exposed??? should be fun to watch he and rooney clash

7/5/2010 12:34:17 AM

BENZEMA WHO GOT DA KEYS TO MY BIMMER?

7/5/2010 2:20:35 AM

^^^^i dont think united are going to buy anyone...i mean hell, they wouldnt even sign joe cole on a free. thats upsetting since this squad couldnt win last year and rooney is going to have zero confidence going into the new season

St. Pauli is an early favorite for Worst Kits of the Season

7/7/2010 1:38:39 AM

i lol'ed at that xabi pic too

7/7/2010 7:27:22 AM

those kits are awful

- weird copper shirt
- sublimated shirt that'd be okay if it was a color other than metallic dirt
- seinfeld puffy shirt

7/7/2010 7:32:06 AM

i don't wanna be a pirate

7/7/2010 7:50:53 AM

the sublimated kit is my favorite out of those 3 trainwrecks, but it's still really awful.

7/7/2010 7:51:28 AM

the first two look like under armour

Man U and Man City are reportedly bidding for Super Mario: http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/69/transfer-zone/2010/07/06/2012654/report-manchester-united-tell-inter-theyll-match-manchester-city-

7/7/2010 11:10:53 AM

ManU is after Sneijder as well: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=806776&sec=transfers&cc=5901

7/7/2010 11:17:21 AM

lol

[Edited on July 7, 2010 at 11:17 AM. Reason : to balotelli at manyoo]

7/7/2010 11:17:26 AM

So, Man U want Mario and Karim. Who rides the pine in that scenario if both end up there?

I see them getting Benzema and losing Mario to City after they drive the price way up on him.

And why would Bayern want Berba at all, much less for that price?

7/7/2010 11:23:58 AM

Is the lacing on the puffy shirt a screen print? If you're going to do a puffy shirt at least make it have actual lacing.

7/7/2010 11:27:46 AM

^^ where'd you see the Berbatov rumor?

7/7/2010 11:40:03 AM

ah ha...pretty sure all the man u boys here all hate mario...i hope he ends up there

7/7/2010 11:40:46 AM

haha yes, I would enjoy that and they're not fond of Sneijder either

a move for Busquets would be the only thing better

7/7/2010 11:46:34 AM

^^^ If you click that link that heelfan posted, you'll see an article on the right talking about them selling Anderson and Berba to raise funds for this transfer window.

7/7/2010 12:18:45 PM

20 mil?!?!?!!

7/7/2010 12:22:59 PM

on soccernet, it said barcelona couldn't pay last months wages to their players. how can they just buy david villa for 35 mil and not afford to pay their own players. that sounds kinda shady

7/7/2010 12:37:07 PM

They aren't necessarily broke, they are just having a cash flow problem from the TV deal they signed.

It was a billion dollar deal that was supposed to run through 2013 and it looks like MediaPro (I think that is what they are called) is going to declare bankruptcy.

[Edited on July 7, 2010 at 2:25 PM. Reason : .]

7/7/2010 2:23:14 PM

hate hate hate Balotelli



I think that United might just be fucking with Gary Cook and City on this to drive up the price and expectations so he will destroy their locker room, because Balotelli is a goddamned cancer. I could never EVER picture SAF putting up with his shit.



Sneijder on the other hand, I would love to see at United. But I doubt that will happen, because there's no way he's not gonna cost at LEAST 35 million.

7/7/2010 7:22:59 PM

In his defense, he is a 19 year kid playing for one of the biggest teams in the world. We all did stupid shit when we were that age. He has a lot of room to mature yet.

Thinking about it, SAF might be a good mentor for him, and getting out of Italy may remove some distraction.

[Edited on July 7, 2010 at 7:27 PM. Reason : .]

7/7/2010 7:27:43 PM

Several commentators have said Arsenal would be a good fit for Balotelli. Apparently Wenger has the patience to coach hotheaded youngsters.

7/7/2010 10:30:36 PM

because he likes to touch them.

7/7/2010 10:42:08 PM

ughguhguh

am i going to have to get espn3 to watch bundesliga this year

7/7/2010 10:50:31 PM

GolTV shows Bundesliga games. I'm not sure if it will ever be added to TWC's digital lineup for Raleigh.

7/7/2010 11:17:49 PM

Does anyone know if the Fox Sports Soccer will be going to HD anytime soon? Ive thought about picking up that extra sports package but after watching all the world cup games in HD I'm not sure I will enjoy them as much not in HD haha

Wow, reading that, Rafa was just as bad for Liverpool as everyone on the outside looking in said he was.

7/11/2010 2:20:35 AM

Sneijder wastes no time after the Cup to say he wants to go to Man U

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/11072010/58/premier-league-transfers-sneijder-wants-united.html

Lots of other good rumors in that article too

7/11/2010 9:35:55 PM

Maybe he read that Rafa article haha

Looks like Tottenham is about to get poached big time

7/11/2010 9:52:56 PM

fuck att for not having uverse at my apt complex

7/11/2010 10:52:40 PM

Everton's away kits will take some getting used to.

7/12/2010 6:33:35 PM

7/12/2010 8:05:03 PM

i really hate how european teams change their jersey's year in and year out. i always want to buy one, but i know it will be out of date within the next season. gotta give europe credit, i suppose, as they keep that money rollin' in.

7/13/2010 12:24:55 AM

^ Yep. They make TOO MUCH MONEY to let a kit stick around for more than 2 years.

7/13/2010 12:37:43 AM

Their aways change every year but the homes seem to have a pretty standard design from year to year.

7/13/2010 2:17:14 AM

Looks like Ronaldinho is headed back to Brazil as he has agreed to terms with Flamengo.

The article also mentions that Milan are targeting Ibra. It'd funny would it be if he went back and won the scudetto with them. Villa's emergence and fact that his style is better suited to for Serie A makes that a great move for both parties IMO.

Adriano to Barca

Quote :

"arça and Sevilla agree Adriano deal http://www.fcbarcelona.cat FC Barcelona and Sevilla CF have reached an agreement for the transfer of Adriano Correia that will see the Brazilian move to Camp Nou for an initial fee of €9.5 million and a conditional €4 million extra. The deal depends on the utility star passing a medical at Barça and the signing of his contract. Adriano will arrive in Barcelona on Saturday in order to undergo a series of tests. Swapping places adriano2.JPGAdriano is set to become the second signing of the summer after David Villa made the switch from Valencia before the World Cup Finals. The 25-year-old has shone during his six seasons at Sevilla as he proved that he can play in a variety of positions. Different positions Able to play in either full-back position Adriano can also push forward and perform on the left or right of midfield and has even proven his worth in the centre. His vision and desire to help out in attack has won him many admirers and made him a regular in a Sevilla side that has enjoyed winning several major honours in the past few seasons. Alves again At Barça next term Adriano will team up once again with former Sevilla colleague Dani Alves. The pair spent four seasons together at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán winning the UEFA Cup twice, the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup. "

That's a good price. Many had speculated that Navas would be on the way to Barca, so it comes as a surprise to see him move instead. I hate it for Sevilla though, as I like them very much too.

7/16/2010 12:30:19 PM

doesn't jesus navas have really bad homesickness? I think that's why he didn't play with the national team that much until recently. He's awesome but I think he's already turned down a bunch of moves because he doesnt want to be away from home, so I doubt he'll move

7/16/2010 1:29:33 PM

Ibra must be on his way out. Unless Barça is the new Real Madrid.
