Finally. Does that mean the Ronaldo saga is over? The Ribery saga is looking clearer, albeit slightly.

Its Real Madrid. Even if theyre not buying, theyll continue to link themselves with the best players in the world.

Not good enough for Man Utd, not even good enough for Spurs last season (even when they were sh*te), Hull is about his level. He'll score about 6 or 7 next year as Hull tumble out of the Prem suffering from 2nd season hangover (which obviously kicked in at around Christmas of their first season, they obviously don't handle their drink very well).

As has been happening for the last three decades...

Mascherano and his manager have come out and said he wouldnt mind a move to Barca.
Disappointing. Hes more important than Alonso for the future. Ever Banega and Javi Martinez could replace them I suppose but Alonso and Masch together are a dynamic duo. Eto'o + 5-10 for Mascherano? 32 for Alonso? Im resigned to some loss. :(

Lavezzi - I'd love to see him come. Hed be an ace partner for Torres. Perhaps we could get Lavezzi and Hamsik as a pair.

Mauro Zarate would be a handy pick up too.

Ever Banega would just end up on some website naked again #-o
Wouldn't midn Martinez...but Masch and Alonso really need to stay if we're to continue to push for the title next season.

No chance at all of getting Hamsik either.

Dont worry, it was in the Sun.

:lol::lol: That shouldn't be as funny as it is.

Tonight's news:
- Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will do "everything possible" to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, but has ruled out a move for Xabi Alonso. (skysports)
- Rafa Benitez believes he has got enough money to bring in the players he wants this summer.
- Former chelsea gaffer Scolari has taken charge of Uzbekistan champions Bunyodkor.
- Reported Arsenal target Edin Dzeko has hinted he would opt for a move to AC Milan.

Real Madrid will have to get rid of 9 players says Perez after theyve bought everyone in. Theyre only allowed to register 25.

If we could get Sneijder, VDV, Lass, Gago, De La Red, Robben - Wouldnt mind a few of these guys.

Lass, De la Red and Gago won't leave. They are exactly the kind of players Pelligrini wants in a team. VDV looks to be a goner, Sneijder doesnt want to go(we'll see what the gaffer thinks soon enough), Mahmadou Diarra MAY leave(IMO brilliant quality, but injury prone), fuck off Metzelder, bring back Garay from his loan, piss off Heinze(livo can have him...what ive said from day 1), Pepe is up in the air(piss him off IMO), and then expect Perez to link the club to some defenders.

I definitely would love to have Sneijder at United, one of my favourite players

rafa rules out the buying of lavezzi

From Sky sports

Rafa says Masch isnt for sale

Toni says Barca are interested in him

Tuncay wants to stay in England

Robinho admits Barca appeal

Zhirkov prefers Barca to Chelsea

Arjen Robben is unsure of his future at Madrid

Tranquilo Barnetta says he carves a move the the prem, imo he would be a great pick up for clubs like Villa, Everton or Fulham, apparently he turned down Portsmouth and Arsenal are interested

Did someone say "Sneijder at Liverpool"?? Sounds like an awesome plan. Chuck him in next to alonso and throw Gerrard in behind Torres and you've got enough forward thrust to carry TWO teams to the EPL title :lol: Wouldn't mind Roben on the wing either.

It seems like Barcelona are interested in any player with two legs and a pulse at the moment as they try to keep up with Madrid. I can see them scrapping the 'pulse' part too.

In tonight's news:
- Andrea Pirlo becomes the third AC Milan player linked to his former boss at Chelsea.
- Jorge Valdano has revealed that Real Madrid are in discussions to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. For fucks sake #-o
- Chelsea star Didier Drogba insists he plans to stay at Stamford Bridge and is fed up with constant speculation over his future.
- Premier League clubs are monitoring Raul Tamudo's situation after Espanyol agreed to let him leave.
- Atletico Madrid insist Sergio Aguero, Diego Forlan and Maxi Rodriguez will be going nowhere this summer.
- Valencia have decided that David Silva is not for sale and that David Villa will only leave if they receive an offer close to €50 million (£43m), which Chelsea are rumoured to be set to pay.
- Los Che are not prepared to accept Real Madrid's take it or leave it demand of €35m (£30m) for Villa, despite the capital club's reluctance to pay any more because they could activate Atletico Madrid frontman Diego Forlan's buy-out clause for €1m more.

And that's about all that's interesting at the moment.

Sneijder at United would be a dream for me. I think if Madrid fork up the reported 96mil that Gill says in un negotiable (which I doubt they will) then we could get Ribery and a forward like Benzema so I wouldnt be too fussed but I dont see it happening.

The Spanish media are reporting details of a 'leaked' contract for 24-year-old Ronaldo, which involved a transfer fee of £80m and a six-year contract with a salary of £9.5m, including an inbuilt 25% rise every year.

hOLY FUCKING JESUS!

1402 BST: Barcelona are preparing a bid for Liverpool midfielder Yossi Benayoun.
(Full story: Daily Mail)


1431 BST: Valencia have turned down a reported offer from Chelsea for David Villa, with the Spain international seemingly set to join Real Madrid instead, according to the player's agent. (Press Association)

REAL: Villa, Kaka, Ronaldo
Barca: Benayoun.

:lol:

Spains best player. Portugal's best player. Brazils best player. Israels best player. Whats your point Imno? 8-[

Come and get him Barca. 38m take it or leave it. 8-[

38mil would be a tidy profit :lol: Make it 40. We'd at least be able to convince Valencia to part with Silva so we could get a quality replacement for that price.

Tonight's news:
- Valencia have confirmed the have recieved a bid for David Villa originating outside of spain. Speculation is that the offer originated from one of Chelsea, Liverpool, Man U or Man City, with chelsea being favourites.
- Leonardo insists Andrea Pirlo and Alexandre Pato are staying put after both were linked with Chelsea.
- Chelsea midfielder Deco has declared he plans to leave Stamford Bridge.
- Gareth Barry has stated he feels no need to appologise to Villa fans.
- Alvaro Negredo has revealed he would be interested in joining Liverpool or Valencia if he was to leave Real Madrid.
- Valencia are set to recall midfielder Aaron Niguez from his loan spell at SPL champions Rangers.

I honestly dont get hwy Chelsea want to sell Bosingwa.

Ancelotti wants Lahm I heard.

I reckon Negredo to Valencia + Cash for Villa to Real Madrid.

Negredo is a gun...and hopefullt Valencia can do a 'Mata' on him too. [-o<



:shock:

Good player Yossi...but nowhere near THAT good.



Nani can still become a great player IMO. But the posibility og Moutinho OR Velosso at Utd is tempting. =p~

The Negredo +Cash for Alonso bid looks to be on :cry:

Too inconsistent. He doesn't play well in the big games.

Greatest day in my life if they sign him. But they won't, Real have too much pulling power.

There is a God. [-o<
