They do, I have seen them.

Third red was for a professional foul, the third penalty was only a yellow.

bigger £££ to pay it off then Not overall. Would have to be the value of his remaining contract. You probably ended up saving some amount through loans.

Seems to have got his eyes on cap boy now.

And a third handball and pen 2-1 to Atlético.

They say the fee is €12m over here.

1-1 at Atlético-Sevilla so far, after two pens in 10 minutes with corresponding reds. Pretty crazy. Both handballs, of course.

Just got up to date with this thread. Stoke Looks like it's the first time they see a TV camera.

Depor sign Kaká. No, not the one you're thinking about.

One day I have to ask the meaning behind that purple talk. I probably just did.

Made me think of listening to his music. The band any good? Not bad IMO, Pilko I seem to remember is a sooooooopafan. Listening to their two top songs in youtube puts them in the "I already listened to them but didn't know them" category. I will investigate them further. Did you hear that Reina is leaving Liverpool by the way?

Marca is saying that, indeed, you've released him.

I just love how convincingly he pulls off the part Made me think of listening to his music. The band any good?

Always thought he was good me like. 26 is well early to pack it in. Aye, classy player. Just on loan like so I'm sure he'll be back. His wife is preggers so might be playing a part. There was a pretty quick and huge fallout between him and Valencia, and not even their new manager bothered in trying to keep him. It is a pity because as you say he's far too good to cut his career in Europe. Personally I thought that Gago-Banega-Canales would have been an amazing midfield 3 for Valencia when they all became fit.

Reina to Arsenal.

The Nacho is in da house. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a7/Nacho_Monreal.jpg

Monreal's class, he'd be Spain's starting LB had not injury and Jordi Alba got in the way.

Seems it's confirmed; Monreal to Arsenal for €10m. That's why they loaned Jenkinson, I guess.

We've loaned Isaac Cuenca to Ajax.

This is interesting, Marca says Xisco has been released by NUFC before moving to Córdoba. (I suppose it doesn't make much of a difference given his contract was expiring).

Spurs linked with Lisandro López now. Do they really bid on 200000000000000000 strikers every last day of a window or are the media just taking the p*ss?

Aye, it's been like that for years in Spain. There's little hype to deadline day, since most clubs tie up stuff before that. There's just no need to leave it late, heck, it's irresponsible to. And just as I say that, Marca announces that Monreal has taken a flight to London, presumably to sign for Arsenal.

Yep, great move I respect Beckham a lot, mind, it's obvious his prolonging his career on desire to just keep playing as much as he can and not just bagging money (he could have extended his contract at LA). Just don't think he can perform at a high level anymore.

Worked wonderfully at Real Madrid. Was that sarcastic or real? Sarcastic. He was awful in that role. He was overrun by most midfields. Never seen a game of that time so obviously didn'T know that. That said, Real Madrid deployed some mental midfields at the time (Figo-Becks-Zidane-Solari ), but I don't think Becks has the attributes to perform in that role. Slow, easily outmuscled, lack of short passing range...
