The Neymar deal is far from dead,there's no reason to destoy this topic.

Mikel got injured in the Nigeria vs Madagascar game.Several source said that his knee was knocked.I heard he got carried out of the pitch. He also delivered a lob for Nigeria's 2nd goal.

The Anti-Mancs won't let this go easily. Rooney has sold himself as a family man and has made millions off the back off it. Coleen isn't the modern-day Dianna like Cheryl but this will be big.

On a sidenote,JT is still being booed even 8 months after his story broke out,wonder who long will Rooney be booed.Afterall he was crap at the World Cup and told the fans to shut up. This could possibly destroy his public image and harm his Nike and EA Sports deals,look what happened to JT and Tiger Woods.

Don't really care the man can do whatever the hell he likes.The media reception is indeed going to be interesting though.

Boy this is getting nowhere.

I've been reading a few articles about us making a move for the 16 year old Brazilian Felipe Bezerra who plays for ABC Natal,a club in the 3rd Brazilian division. The negotiations are apparently quite advanced and he's likely to join us during the winter transfer window.According to some sources we have made an offer and are waiting for a response from ABC. Porto's scouts were also watching the teenager. Source: 1 2 3 I apologize for the lack of information but I can't find much being 10.000km away from the sources.

Why is David Silva in that team? I had the impression that he has barely played since he arrived. Other than that good to see the usually underappreciated Alex and Lampard make it to the team.

Nah,reports about this deal first surfaced around June.

That story is quite old,I think I saw a picture with him having a Robinho tatoo a while back.

Ditto The last think we want is to see the young players being played out of position(e.g. Bruma at RB,PvA at CB etc)

I do but I think you can't compare the two situations due to the difference of the leagues and the squads. Don't see how having a tiny squad is going to help Kakuta's chances in the team.We're not the first team trying to bring through young players and it's certainly possible without handicapping your squad depth. That is my friend the nature of man

We shouldn't blame luck if something similar happens this season,we're not gooners and this is a calculated risk that we're taking.

I think our squad is too small to challenge on all 4(!) fronts,in my opinion we'll ultimately regret it. I maybe hugely biased against the La Liga but the EPL is much harder and requires a better squad than the Spanish league which is basically a two horse race.

Smallest squad in the Premier League. Don't think I need to make any kind of comments on that.

The club and the managers have faith in Bruma,hopefully he'll be worthy of it. Now get Kakuta's contract sorted already!

I think it has something to do with the Yéle Haiti Foundation

Bad examples,really.Robinho flopped so bad that he made our Shevchenko deal look good,he's a lazy flop and that's why he went for that price.Why do you think Manchester City fans were happy to see him go. I never really bought the Torres story,no official confirmation or bid but just talks of Roman flying here and there to close his deal as if he's the one making transfers for us. Ibrahimovc flopped terribly in Barcelona and they wanted to sell him before his price went even lower,he probably broke up with Pique too. Milan has been buying quite a few has-beens for the past few years and they haven't really be successful with that strategy have they? The last has-been that we bought was Shevchenko so we as fans should be rather happy that our club avoids that sort of deals now.

Actually,he's got a point there somewhere. Our inability to finish deal has become quite disappointing,I mean,this summer we know that Chelsea officially placed a bid for 2 players,Neymar and Begovic.We failed to sign any of them for whatever reasons but it's clear that either Carlo or our "Football Board" believe that our squad could use some additions.There we probably more bids that we don't know but the point is that we can't actually sign quite a few players that we *want*.

I wonder if some said the same about Di Santo back when Sahar was sold.

Crewe aim to extend his loan according to their manager. Source He has been quite successful there,some Crewe fans already love him.

#AVFC Chelsea reject loan bid for young left back. Sidwell still not made decision on West Brom. — AstonVillaInsider (@Villa_Insider) August 31, 2010 http://www.villatalk.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=61720&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=5670

Apparently we rejected a loan deal from Villa for him.

Was it the terrible loan deal or rather our terrible scouting in South America? Edit: And don't get me started about giving him our #9.
