Exactly, JT is chelsea through and through. City are planning to make a third bid for him.

Marcus Berg looks set to make a switch to Hamburg as he feels it would be the best option at this stage of his career. Fulham also enter the race to sign him.

Markus Berg is absolute class. My striker-friend is thoroughly convinced of him, as am I. He can be a bit of a hothead on the pitch, though. Quite unnecessary as a striker.

Spurs want to sign John Carew.

Rafa questions Barry motive

Liverpool are reportedly interested in Esteban Cambiasso in case they lose either Xabi Alonso or Javier Mascherano.

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has hit out at Gareth Barry after what he believes to be a money-orientated move to Manchester City.

Benitez was strongly linked with a bid for the midfielder during last summer but could not agree a fee with his former club Aston Villa.

The Reds were expected to rekindle their interest in Barry's services during the current transfer window as Benitez looked to build on last season's title push.

However, Barry secured a shock transfer to affluent club City, who will not compete in European competition in the forthcoming campaign.
Passion

Benitez said: "In this market now, money is not the main thing. Everyone at this level earns big money.

"If it's just for money sometimes you will make mistakes. I was surprised by some decisions this year, like Gareth Barry.

"I won't say too much but clearly it was 100 per cent for money. The most important thing for me is the passion of the players."

Benitez, who unveiled the capture of right-back Glen Johnson from Portsmouth on Thursday, also warned that acquiring star players will not necessarily assure glory.

No guarantees

He added: "Signing a lot of good players is good but no guarantee, so it will be interesting to see.

"It may be more difficult next season now but experience is so important and we have more than in the past.

"Money to sign good players does make it easier but only if you have understanding between the players. That's crucial.

"The understanding between our players is much better. We'll have our chances this season."

As much as i dislike Rafa, i have to say he is right here ^^

 

[Bobby Sands]

id be over the moon if we got Ribery but ill believe when i see it though.

 

[Sebastian]

Ribery is going nowhere. Fuck all these rumours.

Gaetano D'Agostino? i know he plays for Udinese now and was a promising player at Bari when he was younger. I hadnt heard much about him in ages. I was reading last week that Liverpool may sign as a replacement if Alonso leaves. Now im reading on goal.com (i know its unreliable) that Udinese are in negotiations with Real Madrid over a deal for the player. I didnt think he was this good. He is 27 and got his 1st cap for Italy in the friendly against Northern Ireland recently. Id imagine he'd have more caps for Italy at this stage of his career if he is that good. Its like he has reappeared out of nowhere lol

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Man city end interest in Et'oo.

Everton sign Jo from City on a one year loan deal and also agree fee for Sheffield United's Kyle Naughton.

Iwelumbo injures his metatarsal and will miss the beginning of the season.

MON vows to make some signings in the coming weeks.

heard the same thing today. looks like his season could be over.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Hes fine. Most Swine Flu cases turn out to be only 2 weeks bedrest.

 

[hizzle?]

Why? If treated relatively right, it's over in about 10-14 days... The problem with swine flu is if you're already sick of something else.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^whats something else?

 

[hizzle?]

I don't know...Say you have an advanced pneumonia or a cancer... You'll die within a few weeks.

 

[Flipmo]

What if you're constipated like I am at the moment... I have not shat in days, and I have lost the will to live.

Yeah nearly every death has been due to "underlying health issues"

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Hes fine. Most Swine Flu cases turn out to be only 2 weeks bedrest.

okay, because i thought the "cure" and vaccinations wont be available until september and october meaning that it could still take some time for a full recovery and by then he might not have a starting lineup in the first team if city decide to get a replacement like terry.
