Hope this thread will work for all of us who love all the intricacies of the game, including the movement of merchandise (players) during the transfer windows.
Here are some of the interesting moves so far...
Birmingham bought Ben Foster( from Man U) :o and Nikola Zigic (tall Serbian striker from Valencia)
Liverpool...what are you doing. Letting Benayoun go to Chelsea, Chelsea sent Michael Ballack back to Bayern Leverkusen
Jerome Boateng, Yaya Toure, David Silva coming to Manchester City
We...that is Man U...took that Mexican, Hernandez. Does not look too shabby
Barcelona will be pwning with David Villa at the helm. Henry is going to the USA a la Beckham
Real Madrid took that Argentinian kid, Di Maria... I'm wondering what Mourinho is planning.

Mario Balotelli happy to be linked with Manchester Giants
(http://soccernet-a**ets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0713/mariobalotelli20100522trophy_275x155.jpg)
Mario Balotelli has welcomed the news that both Manchester City and Manchester United are interested in recruiting him from Inter Milan this summer.
Balotelli, 19, is one of Italian football's most talented prospects but after repeatedly suffering from disciplinary problems last season it is believed Inter are ready to listen to offers for him.
Balotelli's agent claimed on Monday that City and United had both expressed an interest in his client, who was "clearly happy" to be considered as a potential signing by Sir Alex Ferguson.
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini coached Balotelli at Inter and the player has hinted he would be happy to work under either man in the Premier League.
"Roberto Mancini? He's a really great coach," Balotelli said in the Daily Star. "I debuted in Serie A with him because he is a great friend. If he and Ferguson want me, it means I'm not as bad as I thought.
"United are a great club. They have not seen the real Balotelli. I need to learn and achieve more goals."
New Inter coach Rafa Benitez is keen to talk with Balotelli before any decision is taken regarding the future of the forward, who scored nine goals and claimed five a**ists in 26 games in Serie A last season.
But Balotelli did not make a good first impression on the new Nerazzurri boss, reportedly tuning up seven minutes late for Benitez's first training session on Monday.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, who says he would be keen to coach Balotelli, believes the youngster would thrive in the Premier League.
When asked if Balotelli would be more comfortable in England, Ancelotti told Sky Sport 24: "I think so. Here the atmosphere is different. I think a player with this type of character would be better suited here than with respect to Italy.
"It's difficult to find a young player with this quality. Even England struggles to find a player at this level."

Real no longer interested in Gerrard pursuit
(http://soccernet-a**ets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0713/stevengerrard20010627tv_275x155.jpg)
Real Madrid's transfer consultant Ernesto Bronzetti believes the club have ended their interest in Steven Gerrard due to the age of the Liverpool captain.
Gerrard, 30, was believed to be a target for new Real coach Jose Mourinho, who was desperately close to signing the midfielder for Chelsea in 2005 before Gerrard eventually chose to remain at Anfield.
But Bronzetti says president Florentino Perez has decided against any pursuit of Gerrard as he does not feel the deal represents value for money.
"Kaka will stay at Real, but the president does not agree with Gerrard because he is 30 and Perez doesn't want to know," Bronzetti told GR Parlamento. "Plus, Liverpool asked €70 million [£58 million]."
Bronzetti also believes Real have struck Inter Milan right back Maicon off their wanted list as Mourinho is happy to use Spain World Cup winner Sergio Ramos in a full-back role.
"Mourinho is convinced to leave Sergio Ramos on the right and now he wants a central defender or midfielder like Gerrard," Bronzetti said. "Real did not make an offer for Maicon, there was a request of €35 million [£29 million from Inter]."

Spurs keen on Fabiano
(http://soccernet-a**ets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0712/luisfabianochilecelebration20100628_275x155.jpg)
Harry Redknapp has told Soccernet he would love to sign Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano.
Fabiano, 29, enjoyed an impressive World Cup with Brazil and has indicated a desire to join Manchester United or AC Milan. He has just one year remaining on his current deal and, while Redknapp admits his wages could be a stumbling block, he is eager to bring the player to White Hart Lane.
Redknapp told Soccernet in an exclusive interview: "Yes, I like him. He's a fabulous player and would be a brilliant addition to any team.
"It was put to us that he might be available, but we've not made contact with his club Sevilla and, to be perfectly honest, I haven't sat down to discuss any transfer targets with our chairman Daniel Levy, apart from trying to do a deal with Joe Cole.
"I am not unhappy with the squad I have, but of course if a special player came along I would look at it, and Fabiano is a special player all right.
"For sure, he is a cla** act, but I don't know what he earns. He might be on mega money, so it might prove to be impossible for us."
Fabiano's agent, Luis Fuentes, revealed last month that the striker expects to move on but intimated that Fabiano would expect wages on the same level as the likes of Didier Drogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He is thought to be valued at around £20 million.

Milan star Ronaldinho closes in on Flamengo move
(http://soccernet-a**ets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/0303/ronaldinhomilangrouphug_275x155.jpg)
Reports in Brazil claim Ronaldinho has verbally accepted a contract offer from Flamengo, meaning the two clubs must now agree terms if the former World Player of the Year is to return to his home country.
Ronaldinho has another year left on his contract in Italy but according to globoesporte.com is determined to leave the Rossoneri and return to his home country.
Though Ronaldinho enjoyed a renaissance of sorts when scoring 12 goals and claiming 14 a**ists in Serie A last season, his campaign ended with disappointment when Milan failed to maintain their title challenge and Dunga refused to name him in Brazil's World Cup squad.
Milan may welcome the chance to lift Ronaldinho off their wage bill as they plan to restructure their squad this summer, with Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic repeatedly cited as a possible target for the Rossoneri.
If Milan and Flamengo cannot reach an agreement, then it is reported that Ronaldinho has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave the San Siro for free in the January transfer window - a scenario that plays into Flamengo's hands, particularly as they have already agreed terms with the player.
If he does move to Flamengo then Ronaldinho will reunite with midfielder Kleberson who was a fellow member of Brazil's World Cup winning side from 2002. However Adriano, another quarter of the famous 'magic square' from 2006, has left the club to join Roma.
THATS ENOUGH UPDATES FROM ME
-
Balotelli needs to calm the f*** down if he wants to come to Man U and stay on the good books of Sir Alex. Sir Alex is like homie the clown...he don't play that.
I'm wondering what will happen to Berbatov and Owen now that Hernandez is here. Remember that we still have Diouf, Macheda and that other black boy in the pipe-lines.
I also here that there is a bid to bring Ibrahimovic to Man U and Man City is also gunning for him.
What is Arsenal's plan for strikers. I have never been convinced by Van Persie or Bendtner. If they don't find themselves an Henry soon, they will have to look forward to another 5 year drought.
Any news on what Liverpool is planning. Torres is a Champion now and I doubt he'll want to say with the Kop.
-
I heard Henry was considering to come play for New York Red Bulls, Van Persie has been plagued with injuries, see what gives...

-
Barca is twisting Fabregas arm on some gangster ish. They apparently told him that it is now or never...if he doesn't make the move now, they will never bid for him again.
-
Anyone have a link on the movement of managers...that should also be interesting.
-

This is lies. Where did u hear this ?
The last in the saga is that Cesc himself is looking @ putting in an official transfer request so the move can get going. Shame @ Arsenal, really now. The player says he wants to leave, his whole family wants him to leave, his mom even works for Barcelona for god's sake.
This is become an embara**ment for Arsene Wenger. Just let go. Everybody else wants this except him.
And Barca aint done nothing wrong. They want a player, bid for him, bid was rejected, they are now preparing another bid. What's wrong with that ? People acting like Barca have been sinister throughout this whole thing,when Arsenal are just being ridiculous,especially cos the player has shared with everybody what he wants.

i guess the barca mentality is entrenched, even its fans are on some deluded shit;
dawg! he is under contract, for the next 5 years, arsenal are well within thier rights to reject a bid if they dont want thier player to go. plain and simple just like barca are within thier rights to reject bids for messi, it dont stop clubs from bidding,
so bid all you want, nigga aint going nowhere this season. shamefully putting the barca shirt over him after the world cup (which he removed right after) the entire barca camp on some hoe shit, talking reckless bout this and that, fact is he is OUR player not YOURS and we give him to you at OUR descretion, not yours,
y'all cant afford him now anyway. u still owe us for hleb and henry, cant pay for you f***in player wages and you still wanna buy our top player for an insult of 29mil?
bring 60 and lets talk. and we want the cash as well as all owed to us upfront nigga.\\lol!
-
Since when did a player being under contract stop him from being transferred ? Cesc is not the first player with a 5 - year contract. Get over yourselves.
u missing the point here. fact is the player has stated that he wants to move, but clearly that means nothing to ya'll. Why u think Barca is pursuing him ? and yes bids fail all the time, but then they are revised aren't they ? Ya'll acting like this is the first time Barca tries to buy a player.Cesc is without a doubt,one of the best players in the world but he's not WORTH 60. for the simple fact that he is not a STRIKER. that kinda of money is reserved for people whose sole purpose is to SCORE GOALS, the Ronaldo's, the Ibrahimovic's, Drogba's, Torre's,etc. And yes i know he's your top goal scorer. LMAO @ that BTW. Just shows you Arsenal's demise over the last few years !!!! Even Xavi, who is the father to Cesc's style, and probably one of the top 3 players in world is not worth 60M.
Now u wanna go quote Barca's financial problems. LAME DUDE !!! Which club doesn't have issues nowadays ? Oh, i forgot. Mighty Arsenal,who by the way got all the money in the world, but never invest in anything and in return never win anything.It was temporary problem which has been fixed,get off that. Barcelona is a very proud club which belongs to an entire REGION, which by the way, is trying to get full autonomy from Spain, so i doubt Catalonia would let it go to shreds.
We still owe u for Henry ? LMAO !!!! Go get your money from New York. We let him go for free.
And go ahead and keep an unhappy Fabregas. Let's see what good that does for u.
Ya'll are just bitter cos of the trashing ya'll received. And the fact that ya'll thought u play the best football in the world, until u got a real lesson.
There wouldn't be all of this if Barcelona wasn't the team bidding.
Like Xavi just said, this morning actually, Cesc is just on loan @ Arsenal. Whether this season, or the next, he is bound to come back home. SO DEAL WITH IT.
-
i can understand fabregas's fustration. the fans are putting him under pressure, not to mention his family. to talk facts and facts only this guy would be doomed if he joins barca. look at how he was benched during the world cup but yet he is going to a team whos very players benched him out on the spanish squad. he needs to come to his senses and extend his contract with arsenal!
-
fabregas is not unhappy dawg! thats what you fail to recognize. he may be torn between country and club, the stature of barca and etc. 60 mill is what hes worth to US, but clearly u think hes worth less than villa? f*** outter here.
any way boss heres what it is, he aint going nowhere this season, u can have him next season at a profit to us of course, we will groom (better yet buy, f*** it we got the dough now) another main man, and he can languish on your bench for all we care.
but for now hes OURS and he will play happily.
and please send me to the actual video quote (not barca propaganda, and translated text) actual video where he says he wants to move, from what i know i know duke said he would like to play for barca one day. that everyone and thier grand mother knows.
he stays player and if anyone is playing foul in all of this its your broke a** team.

f*** you you catalan scum

-
Im a gooner for life..with this cesc thing all parties should just be co-operative..ego's aside ,this should be about football..barca should just back off for now,we all know the kid will and must go there sometime to retire..plus they dont really need him now.which is why they dnt wanna pay proper money for him.the boy still has more than 12 years of football left in him and it wouldn't be good if he wud go there nw n sit on the bench,receive medals without contributin jack to the team.s success .not that being the best at Arsenal and being hero-worshipped by a million niggas worldwide without any silverware to show for it is any better .wenger should start surroundin the kid wit proper players who r capable of winning shit

Nah, we've known about this since last season.
He has been bitching about wanting to leave since the end of the season, so its no surprise.
I just hope the money we got gets put to good use and isn't used to pay off those f***ing yanks' debts.

Imminent transfers.
khune and teko heading to a unnamed BUNDESLIGA team.
mphela and khumalo heading to rangers not sure whether the england or scottish one.
-
I'm sure its the Scots one. :)
-
Wasn't Mphela supposed to go to Birmingham ? And shame for Khumalo man. He was supposed to go to Tottenham for trials (which is wack in the first place, why don't they just buy him ?), but now he's injured.
-
maybe their experiences with a one Old John must given them the shakes 8)
-
smh @lolham hotshite
-
See what Mr. Fabregas has to say. For me this whole thing just has been blown out of proportion by the media. Barca and Arsenal have not even sat down properly to discuss a possible transfer. All the speculation is what causing all this chaos.

excuse me but who has that poor team called liverpool bought so far? they cant even afford nhleko and mbuyane. shit!
-
So far they have Jovanovich, Joe Cole, Danny Wilson, Shelvey and they are looking at two more players to fill out left side.
-
Why are they filling out their left side? What happened to Albert Riera and Ryan Babel...
BY the way. I hate our new kit (new Man U kit) ... it looks like it was designed by David Gill's five year old, cerebral palsy ridden, nephew. YUCK!!

Riera was sold and the new coach is smarter than the old one, in that he realises Babel cannot play on the left, since he can't cross and he is right-footed.
He should be played in the centre or as a second striker, which is his natural position.
-
If Benitez doesnt win the Serie A league I will regard him a mediocre coach, he has a pool of quality players and are injury free! Plus his predecessor has a**embled a great team for him!
