    All transfer talk in here guys!

    On the Arsenal front, we’ve been linked with pretty much every goalkeeper at the World Cup but there are big whispers about Mark Schwarzer. Oh, and apparently Eduardo’s on his way out, which is a shame but understandable.

    Well, at first I thought that with a new GM and after avoiding Benitez, Juventus would instead aim for better players than Pepe, Bonucci, and Martinez. Oh, can’t forget Marco Storari can we?

    I know that I’ve had plenty of success with Jorge Martinez, but he’s not even the best player in a decent Catania side!

    And are we buying the reserve goalkeeper from AC Milan, arguably the side with the most problem in that area in Serie A (well to be fair, he was a key player in Sampdoria’s push for the CL spot)?

    Good news is that our push for Milos Krasic is aided by the player’s not so subtle hints that he only has Juventus in his plan.

    Silva’s gone to Citeh.

    Yeah. Not great.

    In another news, Woy Hodgson is, unfortunately, the new Liverpool manager. It’s a shame ‘cos I like him, but hate them.

    I know several Liverpool fans that are unhappy because they don’t like him. Strange one, that.

    On the subject of Liverpool managers, what do everyone think of Rafa?

    How on God’s green Earth can they not like him?

    He never really justified his wage packet at Liverpool.

    He can be good, but it seems not when he’s without a Director of Football.

  • Avatar Image Lumaca said 1 year, 7 months ago:

    B-b-but… He never got along with any of his previous ones. That was the reason he left Valencia. And then he forced the one in Liverpool out.

  • Avatar Image said 1 year, 7 months ago:

    But he’s made awful signings without them.

    The New Cannavaro

    On the subject of Benitez, I’m not a big fan. But perhaps he’ll fare better in the Italian League (I hope not…).

  • Avatar Image Lumaca said 1 year, 7 months ago:

    So far, we’ve loaned out 2 youngsters and brought in 6 players. Plus players coming back from loans… And I don’t think we’re done bringing players in, while so far, it seems that Tiago’s the only one leaving.

    Camoranesi and Trezeguet are also likely to leave though, while Diego… I don’t know what’ll happen with him.

  • Avatar Image badderman said 1 year, 7 months ago:

    Arsenal have ditched their reserve team and intend to either fast track the players into the first team squad or send them out on loan, so expect to see a fair few moving on.

    Has there been any noise over there about Gallas to Juve?

  • Avatar Image Lumaca said 1 year, 7 months ago:

    So you’re copying Spurs? :P

    Seems that Gallas ain’t coming. Nothing on the news front, after apparently he rejected our wage offer. HAH! Let’s see who wants him now.
