Lee Clark's first signing at Kilmarnock is Julien Faubert

 

I noticed Dundee United had Guy Demel & Sinama-Pongolle in their side the other week. Random.

I went to watch a Euro Under 16 Tournament in 2001(featuring Iniesta and Torres for Spain) which was based in the North East and Sinama Pongolle and Anthony Le Tallec were snapped up straight away by Liverpool after tearing England to pieces, thought they were destined for great things but clearly not :milner:

Was that the same Euros Michael Chopra was in??

Pongolle seemingly spent an age in La Liga iirc.

 

He didn't have a bad run over here. Starred for Recreativo in their two seasons in the top flight, got himself signed by Atlético and was a regular off-the-bench for them. Quique Flores didn't seem to think much of him so he got sold, and it was downhill after that.

 

His pace and power made him a reasonably effective player in this league, although he was a pretty limited player.

Rumors going wild in the Madrid camp this week (it always happens when they implode) so take this with a huge grain of salt, but Marca running that Isco and James will be placed in the transfer list at the end of the season.

 

Any chance they cash in on Ronny?

 

 

Think it's clear they need a proper DM and Striker. Perhaps another CB. Ramos is injured a lot these days and Varane/Pepe don't look good together. Nacho has been okay but I thought he was 22 or something. He's 26!

Ronny has apparently priced himself out of a move.

Manchester City close in on £23m Ilkay Gündogan after meeting with agent

 

Manchester City have stepped up their bid to make Ilkay Gündogan one of Pep Guardiola’s first signings, with Txiki Begiristain meeting the Borussia Dortmund midfielder’s agent at Amsterdam’s Conservatorium Hotel.

 

Guardiola will take over from Manuel Pellegrini at City on 1 July when he leaves his position at Bayern. Gündogan signed a fresh two-year deal last summer so at the close of the season will have only 12 months left of his contract. He has a buyout clause of €30m (£23m).

 

Begiristain was photographed in conversation with Ilhan Gündogan, the 25-year-old’s representative and uncle, on the same day Guardiola met the City sporting director at the Conservatorium.

 

Begiristain spoke to Gündogan’s agent for around 45 minutes, according to German newspaper, Bild. City’s move for a player who can operate in a number midfield roles puts Yaya Touré’s future at the club in doubt. Gündogan joined Dortmund from Nürnberg in 2011.
