for $32 million apparently.. bastards :thumbsdow
good player but wont get a game this season, neither will cesc if he goes,
crasy transfer fees. Cecs prob staying.
yes the fees are a total joke now.
torres 50 million
carroll 35 million
henderson 20 million
what next?
30 million for michael bradley?
50 million for titus bramble?
just read a billionaire sheik bought malaga fc and they want to splash the cash this summer.
I think he's a good player for barça style.
About the price... If you're Barcelona o Real Madrid, it's difficult to get a player for less than 20 million. Just remember chigrinsky for €25 million...
European soccer needs salary cap
30 mio € for a backup winger?:popcorn: I really doubt that he's better than Pedro/Iniesta or Messi.
Great buy he's very underrated, he was a big part of Chile's WC success in that sick attacking formation, also a big part of Udinese who was the best offensive team in Serie A.
Titus Brambles worth every penny...Quote:

The only diference with clubs like Man City is that this sheik is spending the money in other way! They are trying to make a team and not to bought just names, thats why has been so far.
they got Van Nistelrooy, Toulalan, Joaquin, Buonanotte, Mathijsen , Monreal.
Lot of talking they will bring a guy for midfield, they're saying Pastore, Snejder but those 2 are very difficult to get. Also Canales may go.
And saying they may bought a keeper, like Stekelemburg or Akinfeev.
SO true!Quote:

I think Sneijder will sign for United.
The comments by Ferguson were confusing today, but I think it was a sort of smokescreen to divert attention away from the fact that he is negotiating with Inter.
if he goes to United, I will move to Manchester.Quote:

hes better than Pedro.. Pedro is good but was lucky to be on the right teams for the big games.Quote:

It seems like nothing much is happening in the transfers, but everyone should remember that the true European transfer season only began 11 days ago.
only Real and MNU have been buying... Man City will join soon and Chelsea too...Quote:

if Sneijder goes to MNU, well see something like this...
---------------- De Gea -------------------
Rafael ------ Vidic ------ Ferdinand --- Evra--
-------------- Fletcher ---------------------
------------------------Sneijder -----------
Valencia ------------------------- Nani -----
------------ Hernandez ----- Rooney --------

The guy is strong as a bull, amazing technique, fast and now that he will be surrounded by world class players(like Pedro is) he will show himself. People assume he's nothing special because he played for Udinese but obviously Barca know what they are doing ;) ....
Iniesta has played on the wing plenty of times but yea, they are totally different players tbh.
Sanchez is a great player...Barca are constantly buying guys like this...though they have made a few mistakes, i.e. T. Henry...but still, great buy for them...and the rich get richer! Smart move!
Plenty of time in transfer window for all teams, but Barca will be tough to be in CL again obviously.
Pedro played many more games than Jeffren or Kirkic so please do not skew the comparison.Quote:

Alexi's manager: we can say that alexis will play in spanish league.
About Pedro... is more important for Barça than many ppl think. He's pression is essential for the team.
Marca ( a pretty important sports newspaper in Spain, but RealMadrid side...) says Barça has Sanchez for 45 Milion€... too much in my opinion. Are we crazy or what?
They bought Sanchez and yes for 43M euros!
Sneijder staying at Inter.
Damn, i don't think we will get that big pay day now for Fabregas. Oh well, i hope he has a way better season than the last.
Inter dont want to sell Wesley Sneijder and the player himself is satisfyed in Milano, atleast so he says. Still, if a great offer comes, Moratti will accept. I read that United might offer 20m + Nani = (35m) which would be a good deal for Inter. Nani is worth more then 15m for sure and Inter get a creative player who had a great 10/11 season.
A key factor to the deal may be that Gasperini play a 3-4-3 formation and Sneijders offensive midfield role simple dont exist which will force him to play possibly on the right wing in the three man attack. In Manchester Fergie will play him in his natural position. Hopefully Manchester City gets involved in the bidding and raises the price because IMO Sneijder is worth more then 35m.
For me its kinda bitter-sweet, I want Sneijder to play for Inter a couple more seasons because he is very valuable to this team. At the same time if we get a very good deal, why not sell? He probably wont be able to play in his favorite position anyway. I remember before Sneijder came Inter struggled in offense, we dident have any players with superb passing skills, nobody who could play in the trequartista role. Before we played one dimensional offense created around Zlatan Ibrahimovic, it worked in Serie A but not in CL. The Ibrahimovic deal gave us Etoo and we bought Sneijder and Inters offense took several steps forward. More movement with Etoo, Milito in attack and someone who could deliver passes aswell as score himself in Sneijder.
If we sell him and dont replace him properly Im afraid that we will go back to lacking in creativity.
:lmao: Fabregas is a fvcking joke!Quote:

If I were a Arsenal Fan I would like to see that piece of crap out of my team!
Cesc is a good player. The only thing is that Barcelona has the best midfield in the world with xavi-busquets-iniesta and Fabregas has no place in there... only when xavi or iniesta needs rest...Quote:
