2009 football/soccer summer transfer rumors

[wttm]

Murinho is a bitter little girl, it's like Chelsea dumped him or something even tho he walked off himself.

 

[i3]

I love Mourinho.. hes such a character and his statements always make me chuckle.

Im waiting for Milan to seal the deal on Fabiano.. Dzeko, Cissohko... all down the drain. Berlusconi is too busy making hot Italian women join his government

i believe the club captain is earning less compared to Lampard...
so i assume that may have something to do with it...

 

[Sinner]

I'm absolutely shocked that a player would choose money over club-loyalty...

agreed, but i'm guessing how these guys who are making the move to the Sky Blues are thinking is that in a season or two they might be able toplay in Europe and begin a new chapter for the club with themselves at the forefront.

eh?

Well when you are the club captain and the most important player on the team, you should be getting the best wages. Terry should leave Chelsea andstart his own chapter at City. He is automatically captain when he joins Eastlands.

I saw it at first but I compromised that though because it's John Terry we are talking about. but

at myself

 

[Sinner]

^ Lol... yes, I was being sarcastic... but seriously, I am surprised that Terry is after the $$$... he just comes off, to me anyway, as the type that puts hisloyalty first. At the same time, he's thinking "Why should I be loyal to a club that isn't loyal to me?"

I guess I'm just too naive...

 

[erascism]

I don't even believe the reports. Who's the source? I hope it's not ESPN.

And if he is just using them as leverage for a better contract, then that is fine. Lampard did the same last summer.

but i actually think lampard considered joining inter last year.

 

[otis dont play that]

Anyone here HATE Manchester United but want them to get Aguero, Ribery and Zlatan? For some reason I think they deserve some talent with Ronaldo leaving.

 

[zizou]

lol be careful what you wish for!

Pellegrini showed some support for Wesley Sneijder today in press conference. He seems to want to hold on to the midfielder. He also wants one or twomidfielders + a left full back.
