that kezman boy from chealsea is pretty good from what i've seen. He scored 2 goals in seattle and has pretty good ball handling aswell. Too bad he's from bosnia or something so he didn't get any exposure in Euro 2004.
^Kezman is a fantastic player, I think he's from Croatia?!
Too bad PSV let him go :-(

Shinoo, you disappoint me
Kezza has played 3 seasons in Holland and u don’t know where he’s from 
he’s from Yugoslavia
(ps did u see him play for Croatia in Euro2004??? :p)
Nes, now you disappointed me even more so than Shinoo.
Kezman is neither croation nor Yugoslavian. He is Serbian 
Nes I have an excuse → I’m a girl! 
they’re both the same i think. Dont know which one is registered at UEFA
yeah serbia is :D
This excuse doesn’t work unless ur a blonde 
that sucks big time - shearer said if kluivert is signed, he fears he wouldnt play that much…and actually they are both same kind of strikers so i m not that thrilled…
VIEIRA LIKELY TO MOVE TO REAL MADRID!!!!!
^ now THAT would be awesome for Real and devestating for Arsenal. Beckham may find himself on bench more often with the arrival of Viera.
Arsenal won't be the same team without Viera. Ever since Wenger brought him to London he has built his side around this guy...the most dominant midfielder in Britain. Beckham is like an insignificant gnat by comparison. Did you guys see how innefective France were without him?
^ Viera couldnt make much of an impression in Euro in the oppurutnities he got. But he is the best at his position.
Viera saga is going on and on with no confirmation yet
========================
Pires on Vieira’s possible move
Arsenal’s Robert Pires has revealed Patrick Vieira has finally decided to quit Highbury and move to Real Madrid.
Arsene Wenger wants Vieira to clarify his future but Pires claims he has already made up his mind to leave.
Pires said: "All the players wanted Patrick to stay but he has made a choice and we respect that. We can all understand why he’s decided to go.
“His sale will leave a huge void in the middle of our side but we can adapt to a life without his leadership.”
Pires added: “I’d just wish him all the luck in the world at the Bernabeu.”
The comments are the most revealing indication yet of the potential next chapter in the ongoing saga.
Wenger has now admitted he would allow Vieira to leave the club - at the right price and if he handed in a transfer request - even though he still wants him to stay.
Monday’s Spanish newspapers interpreted those remarks as effectively throwing in the towel, given that Real rarely, if ever, fail to snare their leading transfer target each summer.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has given Patrick Vieira a deadline of Saturday to break his silence and declare whether he wants to join Real Madrid. Wenger has insisted all summer Vieira would stay but now appears resigned to losing his 28-year-old captain.
“I don’t know frankly, but I have a clue,” said the Gunners boss when asked what Vieira’s plans are.
“Of course we want him to stay but if he wants to leave there would be an open door.”
Vieira missed Sunday’s Community Shield against Manchester United - which Arsenal won 3-1 - with a thigh injury.
But despite his absence Wenger’s post-match media conference was dominated by talk of the Gunners skipper,
“If he stays, I want him to be committed, not half-in, half-out, and therefore we are waiting for him to make a decision,” said Wenger.
"When he is clear in his head he has to come out and say what he wants to do, and he has to do that quickly, by Saturday.
"You need your captain to be focused. Real Madrid start their season in September, but we start next week.
"I know what I want, I know what the club wants. The club doesn’t want the money, the club doesn’t want him to go. Everyone wants him to stay and he can make a difference.
"It’s down to him to stay and be focused on what we want to achieve together. That can only be possible if he is really convinced by that.
"We want players to be committed to the club - it is not about money at all.
"We respect what he has done and until now he has given eight years to the club but we want him to be focused on the club.
"If he is focused to leave there will be an open door if we can make an agreement with Real Madrid.
As well as confirming for the first time that Vieira will be allowed to leave, Wenger also admitted that his pre-season build-up had been damaged by the transfer saga.
"We have been disrupted in our preparations by this talk.
"But I’m not resigned to let that story go on and on. This ought to be sorted out before the start of the season.
“We know that the challenge we have in front of us is hugely difficult and we need a complete focus. Before you start the season you want your captain to be focused on what the team wants to achieve.”
hopefully the Viera transfer will go through and Arsenal will be weakened - and with Campbell and hopefully Henry out they might make a bad start which would be great

Owen linked with Madrid](BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Liverpool | Owen linked with Madrid)
Liverpool striker Michael Owen is considering a move to Real Madrid after contract talks with the Reds broke down, according to newspaper reports.
Real, who are said to be willing to pay £10m and throw in Fernando Morientes or Samuel Eto’o, refused to comment.
Owen’s contract at Liverpool runs out at the end of this season and he would be able to leave on a free transfer.
Liverpool may avoid using Owen in their Champions League game against Graz AK to avoid him being cup-tied in Europe.
The 24-year-old England forward had said he was close to signing a new contract, but reports say the two parties have been unable to come to an agreement.
Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson told BBC Sport that he believed a move to Real Madrid could prove too tempting for Owen.
"From Michael’s point of view, if he does harbour intentions of playing abroad and Madrid come in for him, I would expect him to go or otherwise he should just sign a lifetime contract at Anfield.
“If you turn Madrid down where do you go after that as they are the best in the world?”
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez earlier refused to be drawn on rumours that Owen’s future depends on whether he plays against Graz AK on Tuesday.
Owen, who has also been linked with Barcelona, has been holding talks over a two-year contract extension.
If he does not it is because another player is considered better, nothing more than that
Benitez said: “I have nothing to say about his contract. Michael has travelled and I can use him if I want.”
If Owen was to play against Graz it would lower his value in the transfer market since any interested clubs would not be able to play him in Europe this season.
Benitez added: "For me it is important for this match that I do not talk about individual players.
"My job is to pick the best team for this big match which is very, very important to us.
"I will decide during the night my team and formation. All the 19 players here can play.
"I can pick him and if he plays it is because he is the right player for the game. If he does not it is because another player is considered better, nothing more than that.
“I do not name my teams until the day of the game and this team will not be named until 30 minutes before the game.”
Owen had previously hinted that the arrival of new manager Rafael Benitez has swayed his decision to stay at Anfield.
Last week he implied he was on the brink of signing a new deal but he has been cagey in recent days, leading to speculation that his talks with the club have hit a snag.
Real Madrid is about to sign Patrick Vieira for 30 millions E according to Marca.com - contract will be sign most likely on Thursday.
a few recent transfers:
Emerson to Juventus
Corradi and Fiore to Valencia
Diego to Porto
Owen and Vieira to Real???
