some Charlton player linked...never heard of him (Bougherra) http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,1780_3656569,00.html

jesus christ man, never mind the better player - if we got an offer of 10m then sell him and worst case scenario play the zog on the other side cutting, or lua lua worst case for 10m we could get a lot better than milner, as much as i like the kid I meant I'd worry about replacing him for a similar price with too similar a player, quality-wise. nah, keegan could rustle up a better winger than milner for 10m surely? any names in mind bar SWP? A lot of average players are being touted for inflated prices because of the market

Bargain. Agreed, that's a snip. Always makes me wonder how other clubs get these layers so cheap and we have to pay through the nose... Oh ye, Freddie! usually if a EPL club ends up in the race to sign a player the foreign club adds a couple million to his price tag

Schalke to sign PSV`s Jefferson Farfan for 10m euros

soz if mentioned already but Marca’s said that Manchester United will demand Sergio Ramos, Robinho, and Mahammadou Diarra, plus $50 million from Madrid in exchange for Ronaldo.

Olympiakos should be thrown out as well after all their dodgy dealings

if we did sign him it wont be long before we hear many fans screaming at him for not tracking back as certain fans did with Laurent Robert, Ginola and co....... ........that`s what you get with luxury players ffs.....can`t all have 11 grafters unless you want a Souness/Allardyce team

we do need someone to teach our players how to take a half decent set piece at least

Does anyone still rate Claudio Pizarro? Chelsea seems to have been a very bad move for him as he`s not had a chance to play regularly.......... I remember he was a top player at Bayern and Werder Bremen. I guess he`ll be on his way out of Stamford Bridge for a knockdown fee Not particularly keen on Crouch but Darren Bent would be okay

would employ him as a South American scout in the future should he move back there........pity Keegan does not want to buy from the South American leagues though

sign him up

time to stick in a bid for Quaresma, Lucho, Bruno Alves and co

he already won everything with man united..so its time for a new challenge, isn't it?

West Ham midfielder Nobby Solano has played down talk of a return to Boca Juniors. "If the offer is too good, it is clear that I would be interested and would sacrifice," he said. "My children live there (in England) and I want to be near them, it is true I have no concrete offers, but for now it is not my intention to return to South America."

well the main reason he moved down sarf was to be with his family so I`m not sure he`ll be looking to come up here again. The only London club in the EPL that might take him is Fulham unless he wants to step down a division which i doubt I would take him on a 1 year deal though as cover......

Nice. Have him over Keegan any day myself. Doesn't change the fact that he is a c*** though. Complete hypocracy for him to berate Madrid for trying to get Ronaldo when he/Man Utd has done that so many times. Hargreaves from Bayern being the latest case (before Bayern finally agreed to sell him). Same old, same old Fergie, rules and principles that he wants other clubs to adhere to apparently do not apply to Man Utd. Top coach but still a c*** of the highest order. To right Put simply, if Madrid were to ask FIFA to turn the same spotlight on Fergie it would open up a can of worms big enough for Bob Nudd to empty every river in the land of its pike population. The only question to be asked about Ferguson and tapping-up is where do you begin? Let's stick with the last decade and start with the most publicised example: Jaap Stam detailing in his autobiography the precise methods employed by Fergie in 1998 to tap him up when he was still at PSV Eindhoven. Ferguson wasn't investigated but Stam was shipped out, according to the Dutchman, for spilling the beans. Remember in 2003 when United tried to sign Ronaldinho from Paris St Germain? Here's what their president Francis Graille said: "Manchester have not played the game in line with FIFA regulations. "They have negotiated directly with the player. Even if they have got agreement from the player, they haven't got agreement from his club." In the January of that year Sunderland chairman Bob Murray described Fergie's approaches to David Bellion as "shabby, despicable, disrespectful, arrogant and unprofessional". And the previous summer United were accused of tapping-up Rennes full-back Julien Escude, after the France Under-21 international player claimed Ferguson had spoken to him on his mobile phone. Ask Leeds and Everton about the behind-the-scenes connivance with Rio Ferdinand's and Wayne Rooney's agents before they moved to Old Trafford. Ask Fulham's Mohammed Al Fayed why he raged about Fergie "constantly unsettling my players" as he pursued Luis Saha. Ask Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge why he said in 2006: "We have told Manchester United that they should stop trying to tempt Owen Hargreaves. If they don't, then we will have to turn to FIFA." But best of all, ask PSV Eindhoven's chairman Harry van Raaij about Fergie's behaviour in courting Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2000. Specifically his quote "he has crossed the line of decency". Then ask him why, in 2004, when Arjen Robben was given the red-carpet treatment at United's training ground while still a PSV player, van Raaij flew into a rage and said: "It is Ferguson's way of doing business. A leopard never changes his spots." I could go on but you get the picture. Before Ferguson conjures up images of the Madrid dictator Franco he should look hard into his mirror. For him to question the morals of another club when it comes exerting psychological pressure on a player he's set his sights on, is laughable. To think a FIFA inquiry into deals which haven't gone strictly by the book would put another club in a worse light than his own, is dangerously deluded. It must be down to the ease with which he has run rings around the petrified English authorities (as currently exemplified by the FA appealing against themselves for bizarrely letting Fergie and his assistant Carlos Queiroz off an improper conduct charge after attacking referee Martin Atkinson and his boss Keith Hackett). Fergie knows better than anyone that one of the major reasons for his phenomenal success has been an ability to tie up deals with some of the world's best players. Deals which, for every club in the world, often mean stretching the rule-book to the limits. Hypocrisy, eh? Bloody hell. "Fergie knows better than anyone that one of the reasons for his success has been an ability to tie up deals with some of the world's best players"

or we`ve made a further step forward in our pursuit of French international right back　Sidney Govou

Siena and Genoa reportedly after Rozenhal should Lazio not sign him

acccording to what i've just read, he's been transfer listed.by zaragoza as they've just been relegated and injury prone although he did play 16 games for Zaragoza last season which is an achievement

certainly physically built for the EPL but 25m euros seems too much. I`d rather spend that on Santa Cruz who at least has proven himself here

If only he wasn`t injured so much .........I`d take D`Allesandro though who is younger, not injury prone and will be available for less

christ I just read Wolfsburg signed not only Barzagli but also Zaccardo from Palermo. That`s 2 Italian world cup 2006 winners and they didn`t pay a great deal for them I wish we could went for them both

great to see Mourinho back in the game......even though he can be a tw@t there are simply not enough characters like him around anymore

He was signed by AC Milan from Boca Juniors when he was 18. I remember Milan getting into all sorts of trouble at that time for poaching or something but he was really highly rated at that time..........he`s been loaned out a hell of alot times since he was signed by them though. 4 times in all i think and Deportivo is his 7th club and he`s only just turned 26 a few months ago. I`m a little surpsied Milan never recalled him from either of his loan spells especially with their ageing defence over recent years he hasn`t played for Mallorca Never happen. Deportivo ripping NUFC off? Right. maybe they think Freddy is still in charge

turkish websites reporting anything from 5million euros (4million quid) to 7million euros (5.5million quid) 9 million is just plain daft is freddy shepherd now at Fenerbache ! (oops, i've started something now) on a Fenerbache forum I`ve been looking at they say he cost them 4.3m quid
