I heard. Hope you'll be happy with him.

I've also heard Karim Benzema has gone to Real for 35 mio €

ManU has signed Valencia from wigan for 16 mio pounds

L'om has signed Lucho Gonzalez from Porto for 18 mio €

We've signed Atletico Madrid's argentinian keeper Leo Franco under Bosman ruling. We're rumored to be interested in signing Govou from Lyon. What do you think about Govou RD, over the hill?

I heard talks have heated up between Madrid and Lyon for Benzema as well. Nothing signed though. ManU also interested.

Govou is a weird guy. Just when he gets on your nerves because you don't know why he's on the field, he scores 2 goals. I'd say he's a good recruit. If I'm not mistaken though, he's coming off a major knee injury.

Benzema to Madrid is signed.

Don't know how much playing time he'll get. Could be a risky move in a WC year..

Govou was a red herring I guess...We've just signed Keita from Lyon for 3 years. I don't know how much we paid for him and I really don't know the guy but from what I read it seems like he was really good in Lille than pfailed miserably in OL.

Is that about right RD?

Yup. Pfailed then came alive at the end of the season. Depending on how much you spent, he could very much be worth it.

Hey, You would probably know more than the rest of us... What going on with Onyewu going to Fenerbahce? Has his price gone up because of the Confed cup?
I would assume he wants to go somewhere where he will start.

we have to pay above market price as a coming to Turkey premium, you wouldn't believe the wages they pay to over the hill superstars here...

Roberto Carlos is getting paid 4 mio € per year at his age, we're paying Lincoln 3.5 mio per year...

Keita will be paid 2.2, considering the Turkish market I don't think these are bad numbers.

You heard about Servet, our centre-back? We agreed a deal with L'OM for 8 mio euros on the day Pape Diouf got canned...I was really looking forward to getting 8 mio euros for him...

Ribery has officially started a war with Bayern to leave.

He said for the first time wednesday: "I want to leave. It's Real or nothing". To which Rummennigge said "well then it's nothing"

And yesterday he left practice at midday, skipping the afternoon session because of a blister


Ugh.. this could get ugly but in the end he'll be in Madrid..

I gots nuthin mate

There was an idiotic story in the Turkish press which said after the Spanish match when the press mentioned some teams that he might go to - among them the sewerbirds - he said he'hasn't decided anything yet but he smiled when the heard the sewebird name!

Take from this what you will. Me, I just think the press are morons.

Onyewu signed with AC Milan. Excellent news for USA if he can make the most of it.

No link yet.

I've read that he also has a belgian passport so that makes him very valuable to EU teams, esspecially Italian teams that can only transfer 1 foreigner per season from abroad.

Real Madrid are pretty much opening up the check book this offseason. I really wonder how it will do against Barca's dominance....
