Not long ago Milan were laughing at Inter's horrid season. What goes around comes around, they might be a laughing stock next season if they don't act quick. I don't think Tevez would want a move to Milan now. But his past suggests he's been a highlight for teams in Transition.

At least Inter did not go and axe all their legends.

Dzeko, Tevez and Balotelli, all supposedly linked with Milan, if we do lose one I'm hoping it's big Dzeko.

Luuk de Jong joins Borussia Monchengladbach - ESPN Soccernet

Gladbach are improving at a good rate. Definitely a team to watch out for in the Champions League.

Not really. Losing Reus and getting de Jong isn't exactly an improvement just yet.

Reus was bloody brilliant and I doubt de Jong can match that just yet.

 

[Bevab]

They were obviously destined to lose Reus.

On the other hand, they still managed to sign a Toon target.

 

[thedon5]

Yes, but de Jong won't be as good as Reus was last season.

What's everyone's opinions on Ter Stegen? I reckon Germany will have another keeper duel on their hands shortly like with Kahn and Lehmann. Though it will be tough for him to displace one of, if not the best keeper in the world. Ter Stegen is easily the most talented keeper at his age after his performances last season (waiting for Man Utd fans to start shouting De Gea). So I reckon within a few years the situation will crop up.

Supposedly Malaga are in big trouble with unpaid wages and taxes. Money problems that I don't think even their sugar daddy can solve, or rather, problems he does not want to solve.

Their La Liga and UCL place is at stake, so really they have no choice but to sell their best players. Cazorla is easily the pick of the bunch, great pickup for any team. I'm sure we'll go after him as we did last season. Isco is an amazing player as well and could be huge. Rondon and Monreal wouldn't be too bad either.

 

[Auwais]

Not De Gea, I was gonna say Courtois.

 

[thedon5]

True, he's very good too, and a bloody giant.

 

[BKB1991]

I know the keeper from Fifa12. Quite brilliant

 

[Haarithan]

ter Stegen was the highest rated GK from last season among the top 5 leagues, according to whoscored.com, which's a fantastic site btw.

Milan are now linked with Leandro as well

Certainly a better place to be than Spurs.

 

[Bevab]

Spurs have an ambitious boss and some ambitious targets, where as AC Milan are just aiming to compete for the Champions League spots. Which's better?

Although AC Milan is ATM better, the Spurs can become better. Its the age old question of whether you'll take the risk or stay in the safety zone.


Several players are getting overpriced these days. Willian is valued at 30M Euros, which is a bit too much for him.

Several Brazilians are getting overpriced these days. Willian is valued at 30M Euros, which is a bit too much for him.

Fixed.

Hulk (70m), Willian (30m), Lucas Moura (40m), Oscar (35m), Neymar (60m) to name a few...

 

[Bevab]

Haha.

Some good games in decent leagues, and they think they're the next Ronaldo.
