Chelsea captain John Terry wants Manchester City talks - England - ESPN Soccernet

John Terry is having a laugh. Seriously he want's to leave a team with an excellent roster and a new coach who knows how to win the Champions league to go to Man City? He must be all about the money.

Valencia won't sell David Villa unless the offer is up to 50 Million euros, thanks Real Madrid for ruining the transfer market! (Btw, Barca offered 35 million)

Eto'o is now out of the running for Man City and Man U, AC Milan is hopefully going to make a bid. Eto'o is warming up his trash talking of Barcelona President Joan Laporta as we speak, can't wait to hear what he says...

It's getting pretty close to pre-season and there are lots of movements to be made, I still blmae Madrid for pretty much ruining everything.

I'm no ManU fan, but Jesus Christ, will somebody tell Tevez to put a sock in it about Sir Alex? He sounds like his ****ing ex-girlfriend.

I might be the only one, but I really think Tevez is over-hyped, no doubt he is so very talented but the way he carries on you would think he carried Man Utd last season.

I don't think you're the only one at all, mate.

Look- United has shown time and time again they care about one thing: Winning. **** tradition, **** loyalty to players, **** what the fans think, **** what the pundits say, **** the financials- Man United are going to win.

If Tevez in the lineup would have lead to more wins, he would've been in the lineup more.

Is the brother talented? Sure. No question. But when the depth chart has Ronaldo and Rooney and Berbatov, etc. etc. on it as well, its tough to get time for anybody.

We'll find out once he starts for Citeh.

Ok, so I am a bit bemused here. I get Benzema and I get Obertan. But WTF is with nobody apart from Bordeaux trying to pick this guy up.

This guy is IMO the main reason Bordeaux broke Lyon's 7 year reign, he gets voted player of the year in France, scores the winner in the three games that took Bordeaux to the top of the table and is still only 23.

At 15 million Euro's he is a steal for Bordeaux and I am seriously supprised none of Europe's elite came calling, or even at the very least some of the better Premiership teams.

This is what Kaka says of him. http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy...dfielder-yoann



Guaranteed one of them comes calling in a season or two and the price will be double by then.

What were the terms of his loan to Bordeaux? It included the 15 million option to buy, correct? Could other teams have bid more even if Bordeaux offered the agreed price? Even though this was all before Kaka left it was still shocking an old team like Milan were not interested in keeping him at all.


Unbelievable. How many strikers do they need? Arsene had better have someone other than Chamakh lined up as a replacement. With Melo joining Juventus we still need some muscle in midfield.
