*Official* English Football Season 2008-2009

[DJellett]

Just picked up these two off Eurosportnews Channel:

Inter president declares official interest in Fatty.

Barca coach declares Ronaldinho, Deco and Eto'o all surplus to requirements.



Eto'o possibly to Spurs? Me hopes so. Ronaldinho? Citeh? AC Milan?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Would rather Citeh went for Deco than Ronnie, though would take either. That's until we go bankrupt ala. Leeds.

If i were to guess the likely outcomes Lamps will stay right @ Chelsea, Deco will go to Inter, Ronaldinho will go to Chelsea, Eto'o to United/AC Milan.

would be awesome but theirs more chance of kaboul winning world player of the year than that happening

Eto'o to United.

I find this extremely hard to believe, and I wouldn't be best pleased were it to happen either tbh.

I doubt Ronaldinho will end up at Chelsea either tbh, I wouldnt have thought there is a long line of clubs queing up to have him after he has spent the last two seasons playing badly and generally acting like an idiot. Same goes for Eto'o really.

Find it amusing that Guardiola has said how he wants to clear out all of the has beens, but yet insists on keeping Henry.

Your team has been linked with Inter midfielder Dejan Stankovic who is being transfer listed by Jose Mourinho. Would be a good get IMO.

If i were to guess the likely outcomes Lamps will stay right @ Chelsea, Deco will go to Inter, Ronaldinho will go to Chelsea, Eto'o to United/AC Milan.

I hope not, can't stand the **** and I don't think he is that good anyway. I mean people harped on about him when his then side Porto "won" the Champions League, but I always thought of him as a diver who happened to go MIA at times.

He definately has the game to be top-striker in England, pretty much depends on if SAF thinks he would be a good buy because i don't think he's past his peak at all because i fairly sure after coming back from injury earlier this year his goal-scoring record was very good.

I doubt Ronaldinho will end up at Chelsea either tbh, I wouldnt have thought there is a long line of clubs queing up to have him after he has spent the last two seasons playing badly and generally acting like an idiot.

With Scolari @ Chelsea now though it could really influence him to come to ENG, since even though the amount of foreign players we have is a problem i wouldn't mind seeing a fantastic brazilian in action every week.

Find it amusing that Guardiola has said how he wants to clear out all of the has beens, but yet insists on keeping Henry.

Has i said in the Euro thread, Henry may be past his absolute peak but he is not a has been. His below par performance @ Barca is down mainly to him playing a alien role in an alien 4-3-3 formation.

So now if Guardiola wants to get rid of Eto'o & Ronnie i expect Henry to be a bit better next season leading the line.

I hope not, can't stand the **** and I don't think he is that good anyway. I mean people harped on about him when his then side Porto "won" the Champions League, but I always thought of him as a diver who happened to go MIA at times.

Agreed can't ever remember anything that great from Deco even when Barca was dominant, but sorry for suggesting him to Inter forgot you where a fan just don't want to see him @ Chelsea, just presumed he might end up there given Mourinho's presence.

Nothing to do with his ability, more because he's a wanker.

 

[GIMH]

This is a fair point, he's no Chris Greenacre who is the world's best and a great guy, even left me a happy birthday msg on CW tbh

Then you'll have to look further than Ronaldinho.

First of all, a world class striker should not blame a formation on his lack of form, his role was not entirely alien at Barcelona, as he was mainly utilised on the left as he was at Arsenal, so to blame his lack of form on this doesnt cut it.

Secondly, his truly disasterous miss against Holland the other day was truly abysmal, again, a world class striker who is worth is salt should have put that away, absolutely no excuse for being so wasteful.

Don't get me wrong, I like Henry, and as an Arsenal fan he is one of my all time heroes, but he's gone, pure and simple, not the same player.

TBH Greenacre would have earned two with that shot

 

[sledger]

Sigh, if only he were French.

 

[GIMH]

Haha, as a Lancashire fan I feel obliged to point out that he is, as a Tranmere fan less so

 

[Craig]

John Arne Riise has been sold to Roma for £3m. Not a bad deal there, especially for a player who is out of contract at the end of the season.

 

[Craig]

Lamps 'agrees Inter switch'

While Roma's Amantino Mancini is another cert to join as well.

 

[roseboy64]

Sidwell to Villa as well.

 

[sledger]

Samir Nasri completes his transger to Arsenal in the next few days, agreed terms today apparentley. Rumoured that Gallas may leave and join Roma as well, wouldnt be massively dissapointed if he did tbh, as although I once thought of him very highly he hasnt been much good since joining Arsenal, and his attiude leaves a lot to be desired.

You got everything you needed to know when he was at Chelsea and had a cry because he had to play left back. Is being an arrogant prima donna something they teach in Ligue 1?
