Zikry 29 year old goalkeeper Michael Agazzi has left Cagliari to sign for Chievo, who have loaned 22 year old GK Marco Silvestri to the Sardinian club.
Am I the only one that thinks he sucks? Llorente, Monkey boy, Glen Quagmire. Not sure why they even want him Zikry? And on that note... Sassuolo has been going nuts Due to snow nobody else here in the office so I have it streaming on the 60" in our lobby Still not excited about Taarabt
BESHIKTAS An interview with Jermaine Jones at Beshiktas. What I don't get is this - his native language is obviously Deutsch, so why not have a Turkish to German translation, rather than an English one?

I thought Abdallah was purchased outright BY Marseille. Must have read that wrong the day I saw it. Cash-strapped owner. Damn. Dja Djedje is a guy who could be pretty solid... some day. For now he's just a moderately speedy reserve. Oh well... much like everyone else except Fullham and Catania, this was a pretty uneventful month for team additions.
Now you're just being crazy. I mean I guess if he was willing to go to China for a price, why not MLS? I just don't see how this is feasible with how the league's single entity thing is structured and the Sounders' current roster. Dempsey (and Bradley) coming to MLS at least sort of made sense at the time because of the USMNT angle, they'll be playing competitive matches at home right up to the world cup (and are being ridiculously overpaid). Supposedly Drogba and Gary Payton are best buds now, so who knows, lol.
Seems to have some legs after all... this escalated quickly http://www.sounderatheart.com/sound...378678/chelsea-didier-drogba-seattle-sounders
I watch him play every week. His statistics may not show it, but he sure is getting older than what he is already . It may become true tho, because Galatasaray have signed 9 players this winter transfer window and they are all very young. They are trying to build a team which can carry them over the years. They also signed on a big scouting program in Germany just a few weeks ago. I wouldn't be surprised either way. Drogba wants to play in a competitive stage, at the same time he knows he can't get a long term contract anymore, so he may move here to make money!
I think it's motivation with Drogba. Put him on the world stage and he shows up. MLS? I dunno. Not trying to start a holy war. But put him on a team with CL aspirations (as much as I didn't want him going to the Old Lady a year ago, he would have been awesome) and he would like a few years younger.
Marco Pappa to Seattle is a gift that has fallen into their laps. Should excel there. Kinda wanted to see LA trade something to get him.
