Elephant

Just shows yet again how lazy journalists are in UK.

Eidur was absolute rubbish at Barcelona and they are definately getting rid of him during this summer and as none of the big clubs (Chelsea, ManYoo or Liverpool) are interested, it's very likely that he will end up here. I predicted this long time ago due to Allardyce/Bolton-connection in the past. He just fits better in Premiership.

His best position is definately right back and he's class. He's not Dani Alves type, but very solid and does his job well, not very attacking-minded.

Henry brings nothing new to Barcelona, though he is fantastic player.. They could handle without him. But Barca need Yaya Toure as their new pivote, it was their biggest problem last season because Marquez simply seems past it. It's like us signing Tevez versus us signing someone like Agger. There is no doubt that Tevez is far better footballer, but we need central defender more. So I'm not saying Yaya Toure is better player than Henry, because he ain't. I'm just saying they need his type of player badly. But signing Henry is maybe the biggest transfer of this summer in Europe, because he is one of the best players in the World.

Henry is great signing for them - but I think Yaya Toure is even better signing. He gives much needed physical presence to Barcelona's midfield.

Eto'o has declared that he intends to stay at Barca and in fact he wanted Henry to join Barcelona. Eto'o and Henry are friends. If I remember correctly, Barcelona directors have already said that both Ronaldinho and Eto'o will stay at the club.

I wonder nobody has rated Niemi as the best player of Fulham, because I really think he is.

http://www.iltalehti.fi/jalkapallo/juttuhuuhkajaMP_jp.jpg Finland - Belgium was held up for about 7 minutes, when OWL flew into the stadium and sat on the crossbar, then flew around the pitch and sat on the other crossbar. Was pretty.. well, interesting episode And Finland won, 2-0, what a great game. Alexei Eremenko Junior (Saturn, Russia) and his younger brother, Roman Eremenko (Udinese, Italy), were both absolutely brilliant tonight. We'll see where they end up in the summer.

Eidur Gudjohnsen is available in the summer, wonder if he'll try to sign him..

Koeman is poor with players, you really don't want him.

He knows it's all over. Hope we get Allardyce, because only God knows how Freddy will appoint if we don't get Big Sam, and I have a feeling it won't be that famous "pleasant surprise"

Great idea, but we all know Roeder won't get it work anyway.

Well, Didier Drogba played in some minor leagues just about 5 years ago. Dado Prso is other good example.

Hope he goes to Spain, that's best place for his abilities. Hope he goes to Barca, it would be magical. Just think about Argentina.. They got players like Messi, Tevez and Aguero coming up.. 2010 they will be unstoppable.

Glad to see Tevez finally getting back to his normal form.

Haha, that EDIT: part really made me laugh "Finally nothing bad happens to us... Err.. Apart from that big scandal we had involving our player few days ago.. "

Was just about to say the same

Emre is a racist prick with no self-control at all. He should be banned for a long time.

Mendes has to be the unluckiest player ever.

Knew all along he's not good enough for Barcelona. Barca are btw reportedly interested in Giuseppe Rossi.

There is no Total Network Solutions anymore, it's called The New Saints these days. And I'm not saying they are getting right into Champions League, but easen up their qualifications bit. At the moment they have to beat three bigger teams to get into the UCL. And that means that they really don't have ANY chance ever getting into there.

I'm totally behind Platini. It's Champions League for crying out loud. I'd rather see the CHAMPIONS of Slovakia, Belarus and Finland than 4 placed teams from England, Spain or Italy. Why should teams who finish 4th be allowed in league of champions? Would improve UEFA Cup also. Hope he can make it, not just talk about it. Would be great. And would give money out to teams outside the big leagues too, there is no point that all of the UEFA moneys are going to countries which already have money. It's almost pathetic how Sir Alex reacted right away to it. Top3 is where you have to be if you want to play with big teams. No excuses, you need to play well to get into the league. Play well in your own domestic league, 4 is too much for me. I know it means teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, Valencia, Sevilla losing out their place in Champions League, but it's their own fault for not playing good enough.

He has actually lost some of his extra weight already, last time I saw him playing for Real in UCL, he actually looked like being in much better fit. Could be great buy from Milan.

Off to West Ham.

Seems identical to story about Woodgate before he was sold. "He's not for sale - not for any price". Well, the difference is of course than Martins actually plays.
