Photo Gallery: Zlatan Ibrahimovic signs for Barcelona

July 28th, 2009

I still think Inter got a terrific deal in getting Samuel Eto’o plus a stack of cash for Zlatan, but have to admit Ibra looks great in Barca’s kit. A front line of Henry, Zlatan and Messi is scary as hell, and the sort of forward trio you’d only dream about playing in a videogame.

Samuel Eto’o to Inter, Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona. Who’d get the better deal?

July 18th, 2009

Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o and Inter’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic are set to trade places, presumably because there is no dressing room in the world that could contain their twin egos.

Video: Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema take part in first Real Madrid training session

July 13th, 2009

How do Galacticos break the ice? By comparing pay packets? If so, C-Ron wins. And do you think Raul is jealous of the new young crop of superstars at his club? Would love to be a fly on the wall at one Madrid’s pre-season training sessions.

Barcelona 99% certain to sign David Villa

July 10th, 2009

So Nando Torres won’t get David Villa as a playmate. Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez has spilled the beans about the future of the Valencia striker. Xavi told Sport: “Talking to him [after the Confederations Cup], I noticed that he was very excited at the prospect of coming to Barcelona. “It is now only a matter [...]

Transfer Toss: Ashley Cole rejects Chelsea contract, Real Madrid interested

July 4th, 2009

Will Cashley join Real Madrid’s All-New Galacticos? In a word, no A certain red-topped tabloid newspaper claims that everyone’s favourite left-back has rejected Chelsea’s latest contract offer, reportedly because he wants the same sort of mega cash (£100,000+ a week) that his England team-mates, John Terry and Frank Lampard, are on. Since everyone seems to [...]

20/20 Visions: Alex Ferguson should have done more to keep Giuseppe Rossi

June 16th, 2009

Peering thorough my special hindsight goggles, it’s easy to form this opinion. Based on his play since leaving Old Trafford in 2007, the 22-year-old Italian-American falls into the class of United departures marked, “Ones that got away.” Of course, in Fergie’s defence, there are a couple of caveats:

Message for Cristiano Ronaldo: it’s all downhill after you leave Man Utd

June 12th, 2009

C-Ron haters, and Sky Sports, are resorting to this classic line. But is it true? In the Alex Ferguson era, there seems to be two distinct categories of United players who have been shown the exit door: 1) Young players who were tipped for great things but never quite made the grade (Lee Sharpe, Luke [...]

The WAG Files: Paris Hilton sucks the face off Cristiano Ronaldo

June 12th, 2009

The tabloids gleefully report that C-Ron spent “one night in Paris” – it’s a good line and it’s true, sort of: the airheaded pair spent the evening together in a Hollywood club, as this source told The Sun: ‘A clubber who witnessed their frolicking said: “They were sucking each other’s faces off like their plane [...]

How do you think Kaka feels about Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Real Madrid?

June 11th, 2009

Well it’s not every week that a £56m transfer deal is forgotten about quite so quickly. Yesterday, Kaka was the name on every fan’s lips. Today, the Brazilian’s record move to Madrid is off the agenda, completely overshadowed by the mega news that C-Ron is also off to the Bernabeu, for even more cash. I [...]
