Pepe Reina gets the nod ahead of Diego Lopez, cause apparently he brings a lot to the dressing room, and is really good for the morale of the Spanish squad.

 

I'm actually more surprised that DDG got picked ahead of Diego Lopez. Happy, but still surprised. Maybe Casillas would've hated it if Diego Lopez was called up.

Liverpool are in advanced talks with Bayer Leverkusen over a deal for Germany Under-21 midfielder Emre Can.The 20-year-old has a £10m release clause in his contract and Liverpool have indicated they are willing to meet that figure. The deal had appeared to stall over the weekend because of the player's personal terms. But talks are progressing more smoothly now and all parties are hopeful a deal can be concluded in the coming week. Can, who is also eligible for Turkey, joined Leverkusen from Bayern Munich last summer in a deal worth £4m. He impressed Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers with a series of combative performances that helped Leverkusen finish fourth in the Bundesliga and reach next season's Champions League. The Frankfurt-born player prefers to play in central midfield but can also operate in defence

Are we getting anyone?

No idea about Emre Can. He never got to play for Bayern much. Anyways, the lad has lot of potential and can become midfield all-rounder if used properly.

Good luck to him!

Ciro Immobile to Borussia Dortmund for £15.5m. 5 years deal.

(2 good signings by Dortmund so far)

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have agreed a three-year partnership with the Armani fashion group.

The Italian label will provide suits designed by founder Giorgio Armani for the team’s players and senior officials, which will be worn at functions and for travel. Each of the players’ suits will have a personalised label.

Fabregas to Chelsea is almost done. Surprised that United didn't try to get him this season when they tried so hard last season. They could have easily outbid Chelsea & then Cesc would have had no chance other than to sign for them because Barca doesn't want to keep him & Arsenal don't want to buy him.

Yup cesc to Chelsea is done.

 

 

I would love to berate Woodward again but it seems like LVG didn't want him so there was no bid.

 

Holy sh*t :O WOW ! really ?

 

Don't think its a good move for him. Also what I don't understand is why a team which was so willing to move on Juan Mata for a particular reason would go for Cesc Fabregas??

 

Oh and he might want to develop a thick skin when he moves there :rolleyes:

 

 

loedardo pls.

 

well frankly (pun unintended) now spot has opened up as Franky is leaving. Plus mou's main gripe with mata was lack of his defensive capabilities, or so it has been told. Fabregas did track back well when he was at Arsenal.

 

And speaking of which, I really hope he comes to chelsea, good player, prem hardened and in his 20s.. and also IT WILL BE FUN TO RILE UP GOONER/s :bigyellowgrin:
