bubuy Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 cesc fabregas, arjen robben and kaka (madrid summer targets) will all be staying put. after giving it some thought, i think chelsea (mainly bec of robben staying and florent malouda signing) and fc barca (henry, toure, abidal and now, milito) have outdone real (failing to lure a high profile midfielder) in the transfer market this season.. with only pepe, metzelder and saviola coming on board, real would be hardpressed to compete in both primera liga and ecl.. and the most disappointing of it all (at least for me) is that gabi milito is going to barca!!! i have been saying it here in mtc since 2 years ago, they should've gotten milito to orchestrate and lead the back four.. and now he is going to our main rivals.. tsk tsk tsk..

bubuy Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 confirmed na ba si carlos tevez??? i haven't seen, read or heard anything about his transfer to MU, mostly rumors.. Quote Link to comment
teio Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 with the imminent coming of carlos tevez... i bet na may aangal sa manchester united dahil nabawasan ang playing time n'ya... Quote Link to comment
redshirt Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) with the imminent coming of carlos tevez... i bet na may aangal sa manchester united dahil nabawasan ang playing time n'ya... most likeley it's going to be O'shea or Fletcher. I saw goal 2 a while ago.... Now that Becks is in America, the only thing he "REALLY" won was the UEFA Champion's League Final..... Oh wait! That only happened in a world where in Nick Cannon is a footballer named TJ Harper! Edited July 15, 2007 by redshirt Quote Link to comment
_eRon_ Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 the agent of carlos tevez has given a statement that weds next week, tevez will have his medical at old trafford and by the end of next week he will sign for manutd .. the players most likely to leave old trafford this season is kieran richardson who has been rumored to go to either everton or sunderland (with the manager, roy keane, trying to lure the leftback to the black cats).. alan smith is also being rumored to go to everton due to the tevez signing as he has been demoted in the forward pecking order with the red devils having rooney, saha, & solskjaer, but smith is still determined to fight for his place in the 1st team..

mojo2NV Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Its Real Madrid who prefers swashbuckling football- thats why Capello was fired. Real Madrid has always preferred football that is pleasing to its fans- which is attacking football. Capello, in some ways, resemble Mourinho the way they assemble their tactics.As for players that moved from Barca to Madrid, well there are plenty unfortunately, and are considered legends in both squads. Madrid's new manager- Bernd Schuster is considered a Barca legend. And Figo is not the only galactico that "betrayed" Barca, Ronaldo who used to spearhead Real's attack is also considered a Barca legend. So, if Fabregas chooses to move, he wont be the last. And then you have Saviola... On the other hand, Etoo is formerly from Real Madrid until they insulted him by mispelling his name on his contract and failed to pick-up the lost kid at the airport... As for Arsenal, I can only hope they give a good fight next season... on paper, Liverpool has better edge over Arsenal, with their new signings, Babel and whew! Torres... But then again, you win on the pitch, not on paper. Its sad, I havent seen Copa America..hopefully when i get my own place then i can start buying some stuff Im just starting out..I read that Argentina did very well, particularly Messi. It would have been better if Mexico and Argentina met in the finals, instead of Brazil.1. Bernd Schuster is German2. Figo is Portugese3. Ronaldo is Brazilian4. Saviola is ArgentinianHow can you compare the mentality of these foreigners to a Catalunian like Fabregas?...read up on Spanish history and you will know...there is an ingrained animosity between the 2 regions of Spain...Para mo na ring sinabi na pwede magsigasigaan si FPJ sa Cavite...nde pwede galit si Nardong Putik...Just like all of you guys...cant wait till August for the EPL season kick offwow what a come from behind win by bahrain, against korea pa, astig, the best tlga asian cup this year, dami upsets, thats football for you ..I seen in the news that Australia lost to Iraq 2-1....nde nakaya ng powers ni Viduka...tsk tsk Quote Link to comment

I don't see any concern as far as Fabregas joining madird,well, except for his parents who said to felt bad when he joined the gunners. Though, it's a good point that you mentioned the nationalities of ex-Barca players who joined Madrid and the animosity between the 2 cities. Anyway, any news as far as transfer season is concerned?

damaso Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 copa america final brazil 3 argentina 0 brazil's defence was solid. the central pairing of juan and alex will win brazil many more titles. i didn't even see a decent attempt at goal by argentina in the second half. Quote Link to comment
