Neymar has signed for Barcelona - career suicide.

What is Joaquin like these days, lads?

He looked very good against Dortmund in the champions league anyway

Back to something like his old self from what I can tell.

He did indeed.

disappointing.

Their current system doesn’t seem ideal for his style but I don’t buy the idea that they force individuals to sacrifice their natural flair etc. You only need to look at Messi for the most obvious example but Villa was indulged somewhat, before his injury, and I think Neymar will be asked to fulfill the role that they hoped Alexis would - offering them pace, direct running and dribbling to force defences to spread wider.

Chelsea linked with Marco Van Ginkel, from viewing a youtube compilation he is very similar in style to Lampard. Don’t know a lot about him but he’s another one to watch out for in the u-21 Championships.

Wenger has declared his interest in Lyon midfielder Clement Grenier, another player I’m not familiar with.

Juve’s top target now seems to be Jovetic, he had been linked heavily with Arsenal lately but his agent has come out and said he’d rather stay in Italy. Seemingly this would mean that Juve would drop their interest in Higuain.

Milan are said to be interested in bringing Pato back on loan as Pazzini has been ruled out for up to six months with knee surgery.

Thats why she’s bringing him back alright.

Reports that Madrid are bidding £65Million for Bale… impossible to see him staying at the lane if these figures are true.

Great if true, I’ve a tenner with a Spurs fan that he won’t be there at the start of next season and taking a tenner off him would be worth €200 of bookies money

I would doubt that. I don’t doubt that he is a fantastic player but 65 million quid for a player who’s only impact on the international stage was a great performance against Inter a couple of years back?

Well its not like Madrid have a habit of spending money wisely or anything. Allied to this, they’re on a serious tilt after the Jose/Athletico/Neymar situation, then anything is possible with that lot.

Who knows how valid these offers are but the Jews will be cashing in if it goes anywhere above 50million I would think.

Don’t Madrid have their election coming up?
There’ll be a lot of shit flying around them over the next few months if so.

I wonder what it means for Kaka if Ancelotti is given the job.

Lewandowski to Bayern looks ever more inevitable. His agent has said they’ve agreed terms with Bayern and are just waiting for the clubs to agree a fee. Very disappointing for Dortmund. Important that they get some quality replacements in for Goetze and Lewandowski.

Victor Valdes also looks to be heading to Monaco - €10 million being reported as the fee

It’s a shame. Dortmund fucked up here by not improving his contract. He is on relatively low money
