Good question. I have no idea how they're supposed to pay for these players, but you also have to remember that they really haven't made any signings for 2 years. I believe Guddy was the only player bought last year and they are eventually taking Saviola, Motta, Von Brockhorst, Guily, Belletti, Marquez and Edmilson off the books ASAP.

D'oh! I forgot to add Zambrotta & Thuram. My bad!!!

This much I know....Both Barca and Real Madrid's finances are subsidized by tax payers.

Copa America - Arg 4 - 1 USA

Total domination by Argentina as expected.

Fernando Torres to Liverpool almost a done deal. Luis Garcia will join Atletic-ho Madrid.

YES!!!

Carlos Tevez turns down Inter.

That leaves Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Arsenal as favorites to sign him.

Tottenham have completed the signing of Darren Bent from Charlton in a new club record £16.5 million deal.

I don't want to lose Luis!

And, if the rumors are true, Benitez might get Tevez on loan. That would be something, huh?

Summers are almost more interesting than the actual season...

There is no way Tevez goes to anyone on loan.

It would not make any sense for West Ham, who doesn't own him, to keep paying his wages while he helps another team. However, like you said, that would be great if West Ham are that stupid.

Now if Tottenham gets themselves a decent left winger...look out!
