Per Goal.com -Demba Ba is in talks with Besiktas over an 8 million pound move to the Turkish side. -Southampton and Liverpool have agreed to terms for the transfer of Rickie Lambert, and the 32-year-old will have a medical Saturday. -Liverpool is preparing to offer Barcelona 20 million pounds for Alexis Sanchez. -Chelsea is hoping to beat Manchester City to Mehdi Benatia and has offered Roma 18 million pounds plus Romelu Lukaku for the defender (Milan should have bought him last year ). -Juventus will buy out Torino's stake in striker Ciro Immobile, allowing the Serie A champion to sell the league's top scorer for Dortmund for a fee of around 19 million euros. The deal is expected to be completed on Friday. Serie A also working on getting rid of fractional ownership of players between teams (love this guy and hope he does well in the WC) - Inter is interested in the Barca left back Adriano, with the Catalan side said to be willing to offload the Brazilian for 10 million euros. I hope Inter gets him... he sucks
eh wouldn't say he sucks, he can play both CB & LB (not well at CB but eh). Has an absolute lovely shot, would be a better LM than LB like he played in Sevilla. I also do hope they give us 10 mil as we always seem to sell for a lot less.
Here are some more Real Sociedad's GK Claudio Bravo reportedly will be moving to Barcelona for 8-12 million. There will be a competition for the starting position between ster Tegen and himself. Atletico signed Angel Correa from San Lorenzo, loved this signing. They always seem to sign good young players and turn them into great ones. Higuain to Barca? Would be weird to see. Real preparing a 50 million bid for Vidal, Pogba and the whole wide world. Also rumored 70+ for Kun. Barca offered 38 for Kun (lol) no way City sells, and no way City sells for anything less than 60/70 Inter want Afellay and LB Siquiera Everton & West Ham want Barry Riquelme will stay at Boca for at least another year Chelsea, Atletico and Dortmund want Callejon Chelsea to offer 22 + Lukaku for Benatia? AC Milan back for Ganso again? Is Ganso 40 yet? Guiza has resigned with Cerro Porteno Zenit heavily interested in Garay, odds of signing him 6/1
And then there's this. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/frank-lampard-signs-new-york-3631083
Gotta get butts in the seats somehow, and since Henry can't do it with the other New York team, I guess a second one has to go and be even crazier. Still don't understand putting a 2nd team in a market that doesn't really support one team to begin with, and then put them in Yankee Stadium for 3+ years. Whatever. Plus I'm sure there's a gaggle of Man City lawyers finding every loophole in that fifa financial fair play stuff that I don't care enough about to try and understand, but it's going to be interesting to watch how that "partnership" works out.
Yeah a 2nd team was really mind boggling. Oh and City will, Lampard & Villa won't come cheaply. Also an outside shot of getting Xavi as well. Aquilani. List goes on. City are about to field the best expansion team the MLS has ever seen.
We'll see how the rest of the roster works out, plus Orlando's got some big money to throw around too (Kaka). They still have to fill the roster through an expansion draft, and as Toronto is showing us, a couple of big money guys don't always lead to immediate success. Gonna be fun to watch though.
Yea, would be tough to add a team to a game coming out in Sept '14 for a team that doesn't have a roster, or technically exist until March '15, lol.
I might be wrong but I remember the Impact or White Caps were added to the Rest of the World during the winter window, same could happen for NY FC
CB????? Even for shitty ass Inter that's a stretch. He can boom it though. And for Mazzarri I agree, he's probably a left wing in their 3 back formation
It was Vancouver, and that was the EA connection. NYCFC won't have a complete roster by the time 15 comes
Aquilani sucks. Still shocked nobody has been able to pry Totti away. Roma got a lot better this year so maybe he wants to go out on top instead of going to the D league. Sorry RedAL925 and Selvy9 . Clearly he likes racism over a healthier society.
