Elephant

Derby is about to sign Mika Väyrynen from PSV on season-long loan. I think he is way too good for that team, very technical player who enjoys playing short passing game, unfortunately at Derby it's going to be hard.

Great player, but partly owned by MSI. We don't want to deal with them.

Valencia are not after him anymore, they don't want him because of his involvement with MSI.

Off to Fulham. Yeah, I read about that, always can try late bid. He would defo come here over Fulham.

Rather go for Reading's Seol for only £1M.

That kid from Liverpool

Bouba Diop is absolute class, hope we go for him.

They won the league because they let RvN go.

Fuking hell, I knew it was either Zamorano or Salas but didn't bother to check (sorry for that).. Of course it went wrong

Am I really the only one who gets it? 3+6 = 9. Just like Salas was 18 (1+8) or Jari Litmanen was 37 (3+7). Edit.. Ooh, it was mentioned already, well, I'm not the only one then

At current rate €30M is £20,355M.

Central defender from Porto, he is really good, but very unproven. €30M is really much for him, Barcelona have bought Henry and Abidal all together for that price and they are closing in on Milito for something around €10M, so don't have to ask who is making better choices.

Giuly has rejected all the offers from England and France, he wants to stay there.

Was just about to say the same. Love them.

No, he hasn't.

Oh shit, no no no! There are 2 Finns in FC Zurich, which of Veli Lampi is very promising player, I don't want Roeder to fuck up his career.

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..
