*Official* English Football Season 2007-08

Fiery

Banned
He's very steady, but wouldn't get a run at one of the bigger clubs for mine. Decent touch & good in the air but seriously lacks pace and can get exposed by this on occasions.

Can't believe he earns more than the ABs sqaud put together tho; that's seriously messed up.

All likelihood is that Dutch under 21 'star' Ryan Babel will be joining Liverpool. His had a medical and agreed terms, with the only stumbling block currently being that Ajax and Liverpool have slightly different valuations over the young man but the deal should be sorted by the weekend. Good signing for mine (well better than Maceo Rigters:sleep:), real talent even if his finishing currently leaves a lot to be desired.

It’s football in general but I was surprised to see the figures quoted over Nelsen, considering his original contract was at around £10,000 a week.

But if Lucas Neil and Matthew Upson are earning well over £60,000 a week than why not Ryan? It’s all relative and his better.

Olympique Lyonnais. A club who is a member of the G14 and has produced over the past five years some of Europe's best players, they are not some ****ty club in France, as your throwaway line would suggest.
Last I heard it was a second Ligue 2 club. If I'd known it was Lyon I would have said so.

I laughed at the Chopra fee. Basically completely useless in the Prem when he was with Newcastle, had a good season with Cardiff last season and all of a sudden he's a 5m player, pffft.
Correction, hes English.

Question: If two clubs haven't agreed a fee yet, how can a player go and have a medical and discuss contract terms when he is employed by Ajax and Ajax only? I thought that sort of thing wasn't on?

:laugh:
Dave Nugent has gone to Portsmouth for 6m.
Michael Chopra is going to Sunderland for 5m.
Mate of mine saw Nugent in town last weekend. Their conversation went like this:

my mate: "Excuse me, are you david Nugent"
Nugent:"yeah."
mate: "Wow!"...[pause]..."You must knopw Dickson Etuhu!!!"

Ajax gave Ryan permission to speak to Liverpool.

Ryan Babel and Yossi Benayou have both signed for Liverpool for £11.5m and £5m respectively. Auxerre fullback Bacary Sagna has joined Arsenal for around £6m. At this rate it will be surprising to have a player in the XI who have not played in Ligue 1. While Citeh looks as though it could of hijacked Freddie Ljungberg's potential transfer to Fiorentina. Khalid Boulahrouz has joined Sevilla on a one-year loan.

On a different note but is it me or does Carlos Tevez look like he nearly has a mono-brow?
