Summer Transfers so far.

[David Beckham 23]

So far Man U has to top the list with 3 key signings.

Hargreaves from Bayern Munich, Anderson the young Brazilian, from Porto and Nani from Lisbon.

I'm surprised of the players leaning towards the MLS. Angel player for NY and now Abel Xavier joining Becks in LA. And now Chelsea's Claude Makelele is talking about heading to the US.

Rumors - Paul Scholes to Sunderland? Henry to Barca or AC Milan? And Eto to Liverpool?

And Bayern signing Toni from Fiorentina was interesting.

 

[the_big_E]

Chelski signed Claudio Pizarro and Steve Sidwell...

 

[David Beckham 23]

Yes!!

Bayern Munich is really clearing house after the disappointing season in Germany. The question is where is Pizzaro going to fit in? Who's spot is he going to take? Definitely not Drogba. So that leaves Kalou who's been playing great football when he gets the chance and Shevchenko, no comment.

I wonder if Kalou or Shevy will leave?

 

[SneakyLB]

Scholes to Sunderland is a little far fetch.

Gareth Bale to Tottenham was a class signing thus far.

Wigan have already stated their case they want to be relegated by signing Titus Bramble and Antonine Siberski, lol.

There is talk about Saviola and Anelka head to Man Utd and Louis Saha on his way out.

My team Aston Villa are tight lipped with who they want to sign, its rumored that they already have contacted who they want and have pre planned the signings.

Joey Barton looks set to join Newcastle, Reo Coker is on his way out of West Ham. Still lots of activity to be done once July 1st hits.

 

[SneakyLB]

Kalou doesn't get a chance to play too much football so we can't judge his ability. Shevchenko has said he wants to stay on, but his wife wants back in Milan and so does Milan.

Pizzaro is a target man so i think having him and Drogba upfront is a mistake just as it was with Drogba and Shevchenko, don't know what they are thinking. Also there is still plenty of contract disputes between Terry and Lampard.

Saviola yes, Anelka nope. Man U has stated they are not interested in Anelka. Saha will be gone. Fergie is frustrated that he can't stay fit. I would love to see Saviola make it to Man U.

Kean stated that he wants Scholes.

Absolutely agree with you there. But the times that Kalou has played he's played well.(IMO)

 

[SneakyLB]

Scholes would not want to leave Man Utd at this point of the career. I don't see him moving from a world class team onto a newly promoted squad. Perhaps when Fergie deems him as a surplus. But for not Keano is best to look elsewhere for his revolution. He is right now eyeing Gavin McCann from Aston Villa for around 2mil pounds.

 

[the_big_E]

Pizarro & Sidwell clearly made the wrong choices...bet you they want out by January.

 

[robycapone]

the biggest transfer was DESCHAMPS leaving and Juve not bringing in LIPPI but getting some charisma in Ranieri who deserves a shot at a big club after what he did to keep Parma from going down.

im still boggled how he managed to take a 3rd division side to Seria A in 3 years.....

unheard of in Calcio Italia

 

[the_big_E]

Roberto Carlos to Fenerbahce...there's an interesting one...though he is obviously on the downside of his career.

 

[David Beckham 23]

So big names left....

Figo...no clue if not Inter

Eto......Liverpool or AC Milan? (or staying put)

Henry....... to Barca?

Ribery.....to Bayern Munich seems certain.

New hot rumor,

Lampard to Juventus.

 

[spino1123]

Latest news I've heard is

Real will try for Robben to replace Beckham and Kaka or Diego to replace an aging Raul. They're also gonna try for Tevez, which I think is pointless considering how well Van Nistelroy and Robinho are doing.

Henry may end up at Barca as Eto has fallen out of favour with Riijkaard and his teammates and will probably be sold To Milan. If Henry doesn't end up at Barca then Forlan probably will.

Ribery and Luca Toni have joined Bayern Munich.

Ranieri is going to make a serious bid for Lampard, he says he wants to create a new Juve revolving around old Frankie.

 

[SneakyLB]

Tevez is a better player than Robinho. Robinho can be lazy and have extremely little desire to play. Plus, money is not an issue for Real so i don't think its pointless to have an all star squad, if Ruud or Robinho get injuried, it is always nice to have insurance. All of a sudden Real Madrid are making the smart moves this year, although i think they will miss Beckham a lot more than expected.

I think the Eto'o move is really on the works. Gilardinho is for sale and that possibility of Eto'o, Kaka and Sheva could happen.

Chelsea are in a dilemma they have to re-sign either Terry or Lampard. My gut tells me Terry just due to the fact he is the foundation of this team and well England captain to. So Lamps to Italy could very well work.

 

[VERYBADBOY]

It's official ... Henry to Barca.

VBB

 

[Big Michael]

Henry may go to Barca, but it's far from official. Just Euro newspapers, magazines and websites trying to get hits. I am a loyal Arsenal fan and I see it as Henry simply posturing so that management and the board can get off its ass and buy some quality. If he sees the team is more than 3 years away from winning some trophies (EPL and CL in particular) he will leave since he is turning 30 soon and probably has at the most 3 or 4 peak years left. JMHO.

 

[David Beckham 23]

It's official ... Henry to Barca.

VBB

Not official. It was official last year to, but it never happen. In fact Henry's agent is threatening to sue the French paper that ran the story.

Hope he doesn't sue VBB

 

[VERYBADBOY]

Remind me to kill my cousin.

Bastard told me it was a done deal today after all the speculation for a very long time. I guess sympathy for a Barca fan is hard to come by. sheds crocodile tear

Oh well ... good luck to Barca and RealMad this weekend ... DB23 I think your due the silverware.

VBB

 

[David Beckham 23]

Henry looks closer to getting to Barca.

Cheva back to AC Milan?

Gudjohnsen looks to be on the outs at Barca and maybe Man U.

I'm really interested in seeing what could happen to Fernando Torres.

 

[spino1123]

Saviola is now being linked with Real Madrid. Madrid just wants everybody. If they could they would buy the entire Argentine and Brazilian national teams.

"El Niño" F Torres has been lacklustre this entire season and got injured by Sergio Ramos a couple of weeks ago during a Spanish national training session. I don't think he's such high demand anymore and I see him staying at Atl Madrid for at least one more year. He's gonna have to get himself in gear though because Alvaro Recoba will probably be joining Atletico's attack from Inter.

 

[Von Wigglestaff]

Ranieri is going to make a serious bid for Lampard, he says he wants to create a new Juve revolving around old Frankie.

Juve have not taken leave of their senses - what would they want with a proven loser on their team. Let him stay in England, this stiff must not be allowed to contaminate calcio.

Sheva may not be going back to Milan; Chelski want to recoup some of the 30 million Euros they spent for him but Milan is not willing to pay more than 7 million. Sheva used to dissafected card to get the transfer he wanted; it's not Milan's concern that the transfer didn't work out for him. As Danica Patrick would say: "stupid idiot".

Another player who'll regret his decision is Owen Hargreaves. He fit perfectly into Bayern's system, Bundeslega football complimented his skills. With the players Bayern have acquired, Hargreaves could have attained Mattheius status in Munich - instead he's chosen to be a bum in Manchester: "stupid idiot".
