Transfer Market starts today!

[Boltergeist]

Back in March I said that Glazers have limited amount of cash and they will either spend it on Bucs or Man United. They decided to spend it on the Bucs. Man United is extremely old and cannot compete with Man City so did Glazers fug up by investing into the wrong team? Yes they did...

Rooney wants out...

Is there a new report of him wanting out, as that link is from a 2010 story.

AVB? Really?? I really hope he's learned from his screw ups at Chelsea, and won't come off as an arrogant prick at WHL. I'm not expecting us to finish above 7th now, but if we do, I'll be moderately happy.

Sucks to be a Hotspur fan right now....

Oh wow... did not even bothered to look at the date... Google bumped it up as a recent news article.

I noticed when they mentioned van der Sar's "upcoming" retirement, then clinched it when all the pics were before the hair transplant.

But yeah, Man U is going broke... They trying to generate cash by going public. I think Glazers are in shithole right now. Manchester United reported loses 3 years straight...

Arsenal released a statement regarding RVP and it looks like they might screw with him. It sounds like they will let him play out his contract... That would be devastating for RVP considering that in 2013 he'll be 30 and no one in their right mind would give him a new contract worth more than $130k/week. I'd sell his ass now and used that money to buy younger talent like M'Vila or Dzagoev... RVP worth between 20-25m euro.

Russian billionaire Usamov (sp?) the 2nd largest Arsenal shareholder called out Arsenal board and Stan Kroenke in an open letter to press. Revealing that Arsenal is paying off debt Kroenke incurred by buying Arsenal. The sale of Fabregas, Nasri, and future sale of Van Persie goes straight into Kroenke pocket. Arsenal fans are devastated and riots might start on the streets of London very soon.

Robin van Persie will not extend his Arsenal contract.

Manchester United reportedly have their sights set on signing two of Newcastle's stars. Details in today's Paper Chase: http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/england/story/paper-chase-jul-05-cheick-tiote-demba-ba-linked-with-manchester-united-070512

I have a feeling Kroenke will sell Arsenal if Russian billionaire agrees to payoff his debt.

I'd like to see Newcastle try and keep the gang together, just to see if they could get over the hump and get in the CL for 13-14. OTOH, Ba faded in the 2nd half so if Newcastle flips him and he stays at his end of season level, that could be a good move.

David Beckham and Frank Lampard watched the Los Angeles Galaxy together Wednesday night from a suite at Home Depot Center, and the English superstars couldn't have been pleased when the Philadelphia Union stole the spotlight. While Beckham served a one-game suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards, he used his free time to entertain Lampard. The longtime Chelsea midfielder has been targeted by the Galaxy with an eight-figure contract offer to join Beckham, according to reports in the British media.

Good signings... still hoping for Ajax's Vertonghen. If we complete that, it's a good start to the transfer window. Still want another striker and centerback though, if for nothing else, depth.

If Lampard gets 8 figures to play in LA the MLS is a total sham. They have kids making $30k a year on the bench and they want to pay a has been looking to sun himself on the beach.

The entire money structure of football is off. Everyone loses money because everyone over pays the players. What they do is great but they are really a dime a dozen. They lose form all the time (Torres, Carrol) and turn into lazy players (Ronaldo).
