August 21, 201113 yr According to Metro, Arsenal's boss Arsene Wenger could make a shocking bid for Real Madrid's striker... Kaka! If it happens, we heard it from eNe first.
August 21, 201113 yr That would be a baffling move.It would also mean that Kaka is willing to make huge financial concessions.
August 22, 201113 yr Arsene came out and ruled out Mata and Jadson after the Fabregas sale. At first I thought it was a smoke screen, but now I am just baffled.As for Kaka, weren't Arsenal asking for a loan from Madrid? I imagine Madrid were always waiting to loan out a 29 year old and possibly still pay some of his wages.
August 22, 201113 yr ^ About Kaka: That was my thought too... but according to Metro Arsenal's biggest target is KakaJuventus are preparing a 8m bid for Barcelona's Ibrahim Afellay
August 23, 201113 yr With Thiago coming through and Alexis Sanchez waiting on the wings (quite literally), it doesn't look like Afellay will get many starts but Pep should be wary too that Barcelona practically imploded last season around Feb-March because the squad wasn't big enough. Juve are really showing their ambitions to join the Milan boys in this window (even if they aren't landing any of their big bids).
August 23, 201113 yr Last night was my first sighting proper of the post-transplant Wazza and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. I pictured him sporting the Fellaini look.

August 24, 201113 yr Following their recent friendly defeat to Italy, Spain fall to second behind Holland in the FIFA World Rankings. Germany 3rd & England 4thAs a Dutch girl I am extremely happy for my country! And we will enjoy while it lasts... If Spain will win the next match we will pass the #1 spot back to Spain

August 25, 201113 yr Rather bizarre video posted on Man City's official site yesterday, in which Samir Nasri arrives at the club offices, meets a loitering Patrick Vieira in the corridor and is greeted by the sleazy, David Brent-esque figure of chief executive Garry Cook.

August 26, 201113 yr Or he could just promote another 16 year old Is Ryo Miyaichi ready to play yet? A couple of days ago a Manyoo fan friend of mine told me that they would crush us this week, now that we lost all these players. I told him that our U-8 team would be enough to beat their crappy squad. But on a serious note, Ryo may be ready to play in junk time against QPR, but we (as fans) can't trust a 16 year old in crucial games. I hear some Arsenal fans want Wenger out. Meanwhile others support their manager, saying "In Arsene We Trust" and citing how since Arsene's arrival they have won some important trophies and managed to always play in the Premier League every season. The club seems to be in transition and no one else can take the place of Wenger. "In Arsene We Trust" just to make clear which side I'm at Seriously though our transfer policy was pure crap. We should have had sold Cesc and Nasri much earlier, and find the replacements by now. We risked getting eliminated from Champions for no reason, and had the worst start of 40+ years (no goals in first two games). -- Nasri, Mata, Falcao, Eto'o, and Forlan transfers are done. Eto'o became the highest paid player on the planet. I think his absence is a big loss for european football though. And Mata will play Valencia in UCL. -- UCL draw was nice. Group A is promising to be the best group stage of recent memory. All 4 teams have a shot, none of them are locks. A true group of death. Reminds of awesome second group stages of 2001 & 2002. Group G gets unnecessary hate. They have 3 of the lest 4 UEFA Cup/EuropaLeague winners. IMO Shakhtar and Porto are worthy of second round either way. It was predictable that the group that drew M.City was going to be the toughest, and the one drawing Porto was going to be meh. So I'm not surprised that much. Barca - Milan will provide the best matchup, but neither won't have a hard time to get to the next round. As usual Manure got the easiest draw. New season same old United. <_<
August 27, 201113 yr Second round, here we come! Group F doesn't look so straight forward to me. The away games look tricky for all teams. "In Arsene We Trust" just to make clear which side I'm at As usual Manure got the easiest draw. New season same old United. <_< The whole Arsene saga has shades of Rafa. And is Otelul Galati even a club? I bet Manyoo made them up out of curiousity: what are your fave teams/leagues? eNe = Arsenal, Juve and Valencia
