Robin's always injured and Chamakh's always rubbish. He's 6ft so here's hoping.

Are you Korean or just live there?

Korean living in Canada... I don't think I'd be rooting for a national team like Korea if I weren't lol

Plus Chamakh will be off to the African Cup of Nations in January.

And Gervinho. And Song and Frimpong, which is another reason to sign M'Vila. Frimpong could choose to play for the poms though.

proud Chivas fan here. He didn't play much with the senior team but always could tell he would do good. I hope he gets playing time.

Also, Guarch to Espanyol. Happy to see these kid's work paying off so soon.

Will he able to get a work Permit? Arsenal had to send Vela on loan to Spain for three years so he could get a Spanish Passport.

Think he's gonna be loaned out to Vitesse until he gets the WP. Most likely not ready to be a first team player here anyway.

It's werid to see so many Mexicans playing in Europe. Mexico has always had a strong national team as well as a strong league, but their players, with the exception of Hugo Sanchez, had not enjoyed success in Europe until recently. I guess Mexico is really blossoming now. Let's see if it translates to World cup success. I like the Mexican team and players, but I deeply hate their fans and media. The excessive overrating of their players and teams is beyond ridiculous.

Gregory van der Wiel to Chelsea?

Damn, AVB knows how to spend (if true of course).

Post #1111 » by **5DOM** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 1:09 am

He said he's only in London to "chill" and watch some games. Don't think there's much in it especially at the rumored price of 32M lol. Besides, Bosingwa's looking rather decent right now.

3 newspapers had 3 different news here in Portugal about Chelsea and Alvaro Pereira:

1) FCPorto rejected 25M€ and he's trying to force his transfer
2) FCPorto rejected 22M€, want more
3) Alvaro Pereira will be transfered to Chelsea next few days, but don't say any value...this one is being reported by the newspaper with the best connections with FCPorto direction

Yeah, there is a lot of Mexicans going to Europe this summer.

Davila to Chelsea
Rivera to S.C Braga
Guarch to Espanyol
Bueno to Liverpool

All of these guys are 20 years old or under.

And also there were a lot of rumblings of both Barcelona & Real Madrid going after Carlos Fierro. But Chivas aren't going to release any of their U-17 talent until they play a year or two with Chivas.

It looks good for Mexico.

Hearing rumours of an Arteta for Bendtner swap. Would have preferred this move a couple years ago, but I'd take it.

AdamTheGreek · Post #1115 » by **AdamTheGreek** » Sun Aug 28, 2011 7:07 pm

Pretty cool that Olympiakos got Makoun from Villa.

Although I'm surprised we may sell Riera to Galatasaray.

More rumors of Chelsea triggering the release clause of Pereira. Do not know what to think

I just saw that too and I still don't really get it. Seems odd that we'd break the bank on a guy who doesn't really seem to fit any need.

Lots of renewed speculation surrounding Modric today too, with the report coming out that he asked Redknapp not to play him in today's match.

Don Draper · Post #1118 » by **Don Draper** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 6:21 am

Modric looked totally distracted and was non existent today. You can tell he didn't want to be there. Sell him for £40M and be done with it. His value won't get any higher.

Post #1119 » by **5DOM** » Mon Aug 29, 2011 12:37 pm

Santon to join Newcastle for 5M. Newcastle also interested in Benayoun who's almost certain to leave
