Also, Barcelona are hoping to sign Jordi Alba for 12M, while Valencia want 18M.

Giovinco

Drogba should just go to the chinse club with anelka

Drogba has never said he wanted to leave Chelsea, those quotes from yesterday weren't from him, it was later confirmed.

Well it looks like he is actually leaving Chelsea.

So much for being the next Messi.

He'll probably sign for Brighton permanently.

They released Hargeaves too.

Stupid Jew.

He is a fantastic player. Injury really screwed him over.
Personally, I think that he will go to West Brom.

Haha fuck off Hargreaves. Cunt.

We're getting Kagawa and Hazard




Probably neither

Any way to see a list of any free agents?

You can't make anything sound funny.

Good, Cunt doesn't deserve a club.

Celtic confirm interest in Henriksen. If we get him it will be a massive coup. Bye bye Ki.

Forster deal in the offing too.

Edit: Laurencio, how good is Henriksen? And Lustig hasn't been very good so far, I'm sure I remember you saying he was a good player though? Looks like he's back-up for us.

Porto back in for Ganso. Danilo approves and proceeds to tap him up.

Henriksen is talented, but has really lost a lot in the past 2 seasons. Under our best manager of all time (Nils Arne Eggen) he was arguably one of the finest under 18 talents in Europe. Now he's not even the finest talent in the team, being overshadowed by a 17 year old called Sælnes, an 18 year old called Midtsjø (I used to play football with his brother, and he kept annoyingly wanting to play with us xD), and an 18 year old box to box player called Svensson.

In his breakthrough season Henriksen was given the freedom to do what he wanted and had the confidence to try anything. He was talented on the ball, made clever movements, put through great passes, and scored lovely goals Now however he's just not the same as before, his passes are awful, his movements are slow and sluggish, his on the ball ability is lacking to say the least, and I haven't seen him take a good shot in 2 years. I would say it's a big mistake to buy him at this point.

Lustig is phenomenal. However, In his first season with us he was abysmal, simply awful, couldn't defend, couldn't get forward properly and just didn't fit in at all. He needed time to adapt, and a mere season later he was easily one of the best right backs we've ever had. Good defensively, great going forward, and always hard working. If he's not playing well for you yet then it's just a matter of time for him to adapt to your team and your tactics.

Strong essay.

But still a good read. I love your insight into football leagues I know nothing of.

Thanks for the insight.

Newcastle have signed Romain Amalfitano for free.

Was he on loan at Marseille last season?
