Goal.com has Madrid claiming they are on the verge of signing Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema.

Kuyts people are talking down Juve.

Aston Villa are interested in Heskey now

It is rumoured that Calderon had the deals of Ronaldo and Aguero done before he was booted

Bayern Munich are after Anatoliy Tymoschuk

Greek forward Charisteas is close to leaving Nurenburg for Fulham

Panathinaikos have made a bid for Boca's Palcio

Coupet wants former Lyon team mate Frd to sign with Atletico

Chelsea are after Gourcouff

Zidane will retun to Real Madrid if Perez is eleceted Real president...Zidane will coach the youth team.

City have now lined up Henry at the end of the season

Its most likely BS because they dont have that much cash to spend and if they are serious in signing Diego which I believe they are there is no way they will fork out that much for Kuyt, with that money they can maybe get Diego or Hamsik who have been long time targets

The only way he'd come back to the premier league is to play for Arsenal, which will never happen again.

THEY ONLY NEED TIMMY CAHILL :cool:

you never know maybe he wants that dirty cash sure his got it but...

17.43 Hull City have agreed a fee with Fulham for Jimmy Bullard, Sky Sports News understands.

Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks is in tentative talks with representatives of the Al Kharafi family, whose head Nasser is the 48th richest man in the world with an £9bn fortune. (Daily Telegraph website, 2201 GMT)

If Juve want to pay 28mil for Kuyt, they can have him. Fuck that would be one hell of a profit. You see that Peligro?? That would be a bigger profit than Spurs made on Keane/Berba :P

I call bullshit.

ESPN is reporting Atletico Madrid have made an offer for Arsenal's Emmanuel Eboue and had it rejected.

But my favourite story from the last 24 hours is this:
"Manchester City have literally paid the price for their impatience in the transfer market after it emerged that £17m new signing Nigel De Jong had a £2.3m release clause in his contract that would have activated in just four months."

Fucking LOL!

gerrards in court :(

pennant has agreed to go on loan till the end of the season to Pompey, with another option for an extra season next year if he likes it

Fuck he is too.

lol with all the other stuff going on everyones forgot about it.

does anyone know what's happening or when it's decided??:-k

No shit manc12, that was reported about four days ago.

He goes in today. The verdict mightnt reach us until tommorow morning depending on what time he goes in. If its early in the morning it could come through around 8 or 9.

do you guys really think he is going to jail ?

nup he won't go to jail, he'll get a slap on the wrist maybe a bit of community servie IMO

Do they have any reason to send him to jail?? It'll be a community service case.

He won't go to jail, but it will be interesting to see what the club do if he's found guilty.

G'bye armband.
I'm not sure that there's even enough going around evidence-wise to convict him.

So you've been to England, spoken to the officer in charge, and seen all the evidence they have? Wasn't it you that was going on about how we can't make any judgments about this, because we don't know what's actually happening...

He'll probably get off thanks to character references. Lets just hope Carra, Skrtel or Pennant arent providing them. Fernando Torres can have a go though. :d Im not worried at all.

LOL at the sun

IMO Juve will replace Nedved with Diego but that will be a sad day when Nedved puts his boots on for the last time

10.05 Newcastle United have confirmed the signing of Peter Lovenkrands on a deal until the end of the season.

10.23 Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is eager to keep the intricacies of any proposed deal for Andrei Arshavin out of the public eye for as long as possible.

11.26 Sky Sports News understands Aston Villa have agreed a £4million fee with Wigan for Emile Heskey.

W000T

Phew! Im smiling. :)

Oh, you guys are celebrating because you though Rafa was going to sign him...was confused for a second. It's not a bad buy for Villa. Probably more to help teach Abgonlahor than anything.

Thats the way...

14.20 Hull City have confirmed the signing of Jimmy Bullard from Fulham for a fee of £5million on a four-and-a-half year contract.

Fuck me, that ain't a bad signing at all. Shame though, I like Fulham, and Bullard doesn't deserve to play in the championship, which is where Hull will be after they get second season syndrome next year.

Cesar has gone to Valencia, what a fat lot of good he's been to us...
