Peter Kenyon, a supposed life-long Manchester United fan, famously blew our deal with PSG's Ronaldinho. Having agreed a fee for the player, who would become the FIFA World Player of the Year for the following two seasons, Kenyon got wind that Barcelona's last bid was a couple of million quid short of the price we [.

Yet another twist in the Bradley transfer saga as the deadline approaches in just five days. After there seeming to be much interest from Monaco for Heerenveen's American midfielder Michael Bradley a few weeks ago, they then focused on Betis Seville's Marko Babic as a new offensive option. This morning here in Europe, word has come out on Footmercato. Click to continue reading...

Standard Liege defender Oguchi Onyewu, seeming to be completely disgusted with the transfer process, told US reporters in Guatemala that "I only want to live in reality, and the reality of the situation is that I play for Standard. I enjoy it and what happens, happens."

Meanwhile, the buzz coming from cognoscenti back in the States links Onyewu to Serie A side Catania, which is still looking to replace top defender Juan Manuel Vargas after selling him to Fiorentina. Click to continue reading...

I am. I'm absolutely tired of him playing for Arsenal. After watching his terrible marking allowing a goal versus Fulham yet again today, I've decided I've had enough. I'm not the manager obviously, but if I was I'd sell him right now. I'd rather have Senderos than Gallas back there. He doesn't work well with Toure and he has no commitment to the club.

'Are you player' dedikleri adam, bana göre Alex'in gazabından sonra kaçarcasına transfer oldu. Bir türlü dikiş tutturamadı Kadıköy'de. Ben isteksiz olduğu bir maçı hatırlamıyorum. Geçen sezon Ankara'da kaçırdığı penaltı katalizör oldu. Şimdi PSG'de, Giuly'den gelecek asistleri bekliyor olacak. Click to continue reading...

Since the news and rumors linking Oguchi Onyewu came out over the weekend, I've had my feelers out (and been scouring the Italian and French papers piling on my desk) to confirm them both -to no avail.

The first report linking Onyewu to Lazio came out at about 1PM (Western Europe time) on Sunday by the Lyon, France branch of Eurosport and we all did our share of speculation. Click to continue reading...

England and France had the start today and here are the big matches:
In the Premier League Arsenal won against Wes Bromwich at home with the new kid in the team Nasri scoring the winning goal early on. Also Liverpool won away at Sunderland with Torres scoring for them, let us see if he can have a better season than the last one in which he crowned himself European Champion along the Spanish national squad, he had a good start with a late winning goal in the 83rd minute in this match.

As we've reported here previously, Standard Liege's American defender Oguchi Onyewu has drawn interest from FC Koeln, Fulham lately (not to mention Marseilles an Lazio back in January). With French legend Lilliam Thuram being forced into retirement by a heart condition, PSG remain in the market for a central defender. Click to continue reading...

A pair of goals by Karim Benzema helped Lyon begin their quest for eight straight French League titles with a 3-0 home win over Toulouse. Jean Makoun was also on the scoresheet for Les Gones. Last season's closest challengers Bordeaux, who beat Lyon in last weekend's season-opening Trophée des Champions, also got off on the right foot beating Caen 2-1. Click to continue reading...

Mortgage prices are dropping, the credit crunch is hitting us all, and it seems the only things in life that are getting more expensive is food, petrol and footballers. The amount of money spent on individual players these days is ridiculous. Is Cristiano Ronaldo really worth 75 million? If we actually look at what Real Madrid would be getting for their money, it's a name basically. Click to continue reading...
