European Soccer off-season transfer thread...

[lootpac]

Does anyone know if Carlos Vela is coming back to Arsenal off of loan?
Yes he got his work permit

I can't wait to see him tear up some cup games next year.

Sevilla are making it tough for the transfer of Alves...

I highly doubt Ronaldinho will go to a ew club like Man City, im pretty sure they agreed terms with the club weeks ago, but Ronnie turned it down.

In the extreme result that CRonaldo goes to Barcelona, Ronnie would certainly have to be sold me thinks.

CRonaldo must be feeling like the biggest guy in the world, Madrid are offering him what like 300,000 a month!!??

 

[Sinner]

^ I think its GBP 300,000 a week... yikes!

 

[i3]

Yeah 300,000GBP.. i forget to add it.

Whats he earning anyway? like 150,000? I thought Kaka or Beckham was the most paid?

 

[Sinner]

^ yeah, its around GBP 150,000 a WEEK, not month... scary isn't it...

and this could get uglier...

Cristiano Ronaldo's relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly deteriorated to the extent that the Portugal winger is unwilling to meet with the Manchester United manager to discuss his future.

Despite being granted permission to talk to the 23-year-old at Portugal's Euro 2008 training base by Luiz Felipe Scolari, Ferguson has effectively been barred from doing so by Ronaldo himself. The player is understood to be so angry with Ferguson's claim at the weekend that the Glazers would prefer to see the forward "rot" than sell him to Real Madrid that he has vowed not to speak to the Scot.

The snub will only darken Ferguson's mood as he attempts to enjoy the sunshine in the south of France. Already seething over what he perceives as Real Madrid's unethical pursuit of his star player, Ferguson is bound to have reacted angrily to confirmation from Ronaldo on Thursday that he wants to move to the Spanish capital.

Ferguson will stubbornly resist Real's overtures, even if they formally offer a world-record bid in excess of £75m, but the apparent deterioration of his relationship with Ronaldo puts a new slant on matters and one that only increases the likelihood of the Portuguese forward leaving.

Saw this on BBC this morning... Aston Villa will reluctantly allow England midfielder Gareth Barry to join Liverpool for around £14m. (Various)

 

[cincoseisdos]

CR7 Agrees to terms with RM, now all he needs is for the 2 teams to agree on the fee

supposedly Ronaldo has BANNED SAF from the teams hotel room eventhough Scolari gave Sir Alex the OK because of the comment that he would rather see CR"rot" on the bench in old trafford than send him to madrid

Adebayor plays down links with AC Milan


AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed Arsenal forward Emmanuel Adebayor is one of the Rossoneri's top summer transfer targets.

Carlo Ancelotti's side are looking to reinforce their forward line and the club are hoping to lure the Togo international to the San Siro.

Chelsea star Didier Drogba, Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o, Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov and Stuttgart's Mario Gomez are also on Milan's wishlist.

'The names are those that have been reported by the press,' said Galliani. 'That is Eto'o, Drogba, Adebayor, Gomez and Berbatov.

'Any of them would be good.'

Galliani did admit that negotiations for 24-year-old Adebayor would not be easy with the player having signed a long-term contract at the Emirates Stadium onlylast year.

'He is under contract,' admitted Galliani.

Meanwhile, Adebayor has played down speculation linking him with a move to the Italian giants.

Arsenal's leading marksman with 30 goals last season has consistently pledged his loyalty to the Gunners and it is understood that stance remainsunwavered.

'I am very happy here. Reports which suggest I have threatened to quit are rubbish,' he said.

'I love the club and the fans.

'We have a great set of players here with a fantastic team spirit.

'We have had a good season, but next year we want to go one better by winning a trophy.'

The Altidore move to Villareal is big. If I remember correctly, Altidore will be the only American player playing in La Liga?
He's a beast. Can't wait to have him finishing for us on the national team.

[jada2001retro]

Happy to hear about Adebayor. I would be so mad if he decided to leave us.

On a side note, Pirlo going to Chelsea would be so weird. I couldn't see him playing for Chelsea, who would he take the spot of? Chelsea looks solid,it's as if he would sit on the bench, which would be pathetic.

 

[an dee 51o]

Pirlo? Seems to random.

I would be

if ManU picks up Kun Aguero.
