Re: summer transfers

Ballack to Chelsea...true but not finalized.

Edit: Oops, i just noticed that this is only for transfers.

Re: summer transfers

another major doubt is who will coach Real Madrid next year?

Re: summer transfers

Henry: Arsenal --> Milan, rumour

Ruud van nistelrooij seems almost certain to leave ManU after angrily going away before the kick-off of the match after not even being named on the bench

Re: summer transfers

Ericsson will take over Madrid IMO. He was the likeliest of the list mentioned recently.

RVN might move to madrid and Henry wont fit in Barca anyway. He will have to share games with Etoo and I dont see that happenning. Perhaps same is true with Milan. The team that REALLY needs him is Real but I dont see him going there.

Re: summer transfers

RvN has officially been transfer-listed by ManU today.......and he didn't even write a book or appeared on a TV-show!

Re: summer transfers

LoL! But he did leave team ahead of a match. Thats bad enough, no?

Re: summer transfers

^apparantly, Sir Alex didn't even put his name on the reserves list, so instead of watching from the stands, RvN went home.

Re: summer transfers

with the mess at Juve and Henry's stay at Arsenal, there are numerous rumours going around now:

Rosicky: Dortmund --> Arsenal | almost finalized
Zlatan: Juve > Real Madrid
Trezeguet: Juve > Barcelona
Drogba: Chelsea > Milan
Shevchenko: Milan > Chelsea
Tevez: Corinthians > Milan

Re: summer transfers

Henry staying at Arsenal is the biggest news of the summer thus far. I would have liked him to come to Real or Barca but anyways.

I dont think Sheva will move to chelsea this soon but if he does, he is the exact kind of player Chelsea need rather than hit and miss Drogba.

Tevez was also linked more with Chelsea than with Milan.

Crespo will move to Milan in all likelihood.

Re: summer transfers

Crespo would do well to move to Milan. His loan spell there last season was phenomenal taking them to the Champions league final, but Chelsea being the arrogant twats they are, didn't let him go.

Madrid would be making a huge mistake by signing the highly overated Ibrahimovic. A better bet would be RVN who is a proven goalscorer.

Re: summer transfers

I even think it’s a mistake by Henry not to move to Spain. He took the decision in the heat of the moment…he should have thought it over longer

Re: summer transfers

Milan people signed Vieri this is why Crespo had no option but to play football ahead of the worldcup. Otherwise he never hid the fact that he wants to move to Italy.

Re: summer transfers

Time will tell that but in hindsight it seems a hasty decision. He kept saying that he will make the decision anytime before 9th june. I am sure there will be tough decisions once Arsenal have another trophy-less next season which they will.

Re: summer transfers

Shevchenko might announce his decision to move to Chelsea today. THAT will be the trasnfer of the summer.

Re: summer transfers

Shevchenko signed for Chelsea!!!!

It is and will remain the biggest transfer of the summer....

After signing Ballack from Bayern, Kalou from Faynoord and now this, Chelsea are just gonna run away with another premiership title and probably europe too.

Re: summer transfers

^ I doubt it. Overloaded teams like this rarely build the type of chemistry to be as good on the field as they are on paper. They may win the EPL, just because over a whole season that kind of depth takes it's toll. You can play at a higher level more consistently than most teams. A larger margin of error.

But in things like the FA cup and the later rounds of the CL--it's a whole new ball game. Chelsea still don't have that magic man in the middle of the pitch, which puts them at a deficit to the top teams in europe. They've got no Henry, Ronaldinho, Riquelme, Kaka, Gerrard, or Messi.

Summer Transfers

With the Italian football in turmoil, this is going to be a very busy transfer period.

  • Cannavaro Juve To Real (confirmed) -----> WOW!!!!!!!
  • Emerson, Juve To Real (confirmed)
  • Zambrotta, Juve to Barcelona (rumor)
  • Thuram, Juve to Barcelona (rumor)
  • Morientes, Liverpool to Valencia (confirmed)
  • Robben, Chelsea to Real (Rumor)
  • Saviola, Barcelona to Arsenal (Rumor)
  • Bellamy, Blackburn to Liverpool (confirmed)
  • Damien Duff, Chelsea to Tottenham (Rumor)
  • Ashley cole, Arsenal to Chelsea (Rumor)
  • Van Nistelrooij, ManU to Real or Bayern (Rumor)

As expected, Juve is losing its key players.

more to follow.

Re: Summer Transfers

What about kaka - there have been rumours linking him to Madrid. They need a class or quality player maker after the retirement of Zidane. I think if he goes there this will be a good move for him.

Re: Summer Transfers

Nedved and Buffon have agreed to stay with their clubs despite relegation.
