Those men in ties just want to join in the inflated transfer market brought about by the sale of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Sergio Aguero is super talented alright, no doubt about it. But he has not won a La Liga or Champions League championship.

If Manchester United is going to bite the price tag, it would be a waste of money. United should haggle the price to about £30 million.

But the bid was turned down. Standard wanted 15 million euros.

At 16 years old, Defour started playing for KV Mechelen, a lower division club in Belgium. He then moved to Genk at age 17. Then on 2006, he signed a five year contract with Standard Liege.

His play resembles that of Arsenal’s Jaime Fabregas, and was even called the “Belgian Fabregas” by the Belgian press.

He has a good eye in creating scoring chances for his team mates.

The loan contract will last for a season.

He was the kid who just five minutes of play as a substitute scored and won the game against Blackburn Rovers.

Chelski keep your hands off Rafa’s Spanish boy El Niño.

Fernando Torres won’t swayed by your money, no matter how double his present salary of 100,000 pounds a week.

He chose the Hammers over Spurs. Although this is still a speculation.

The still 17 years old Shelvey is currently employed by Charlton Athletic which he has contract that ends on 2011. He is a record holder as the youngest first team player in his current club, and also its younger ever goal scorer when he scored against Norwich City in an FA Cup game. He also represented England Under 16 and 17.

See the video of Jonjo Shelvey below. Although it does not show much of his ability, but just to give you an idea of what he looks like.

  • Mirko Vucinic rumored with a £15m move to Manchester United.
  • Samuel Eto’o is demanding close to £200k-a-week to join Manchester City. Yeah, right.
  • Barcelona will bid £17m for Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina if they fail to re-sign Victor Valdes to a long-term deal. Another funny transfer rumor involving Reds footballers.
  • Javier Marscherano’s agent have met with Barcelona executives. Red flag, Rafa!
  • What is happening with Fergie, lately? He is bidding 20 million pounds for Arsenal’s Van Persie.
  • David Villa has decided that he will join Real Madrid. Too bad for Liverpool.

They won over United States in the Confederation Cup 3-1.

Ricardo Clark made a late time tackle against Gattuso. Obviously, it was a foul. But not a red card. But Gattuso’s acting touched the referee’s emotions and shown Clark the exit.

In the 2006 World Cup, Italy secured the way to the finals through diving during the semi-final against Australia.

Rafael Benitez can sell him for 80 million pounds, and we have a deal.
