Why would you want Marcos Senna to stay in Spain?He's bound to improve at a bigger club...

Holding midfielders are hardly tested in the Premiership.

 

[m_vaughan]

Kuyt and Kuijt are both correct, infact the second one is more proper. Just like Nistelrooy and Nistelrooij.

 

[ZexyZahid]

In the Netherlands he's called Kuijt, just like Johan Cruijff's name.

And Huntelaar just signed in December/January past season with Ajax. I don't think he is going anywhere. Quite an impact he made actually. Nobody knew who he was when I mentioned the transfer back then in December when he came from Heerenveen.

Now I see BBC came with a report also.

Chelsea are close to signing Dutch defender Boulahrouz from Hamburg

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/5265164.stm

Now I can see Gallas leaving.

-----------------------------------------

Lyon have accepted to sell Diarra to Real Madrid

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/5266014.stm

Now just Reyes remains

 

[sachin]

Well Mourinho has said he will stick with Gallas...Reyes won't be joining,thats quite obvious.

 

[edgarisapimp]

Yeah - 26 million euros for Diarra and 1 more if Madrid wins any siverware.

 

[sachin]

Ridiculous price for midfielder like Diarra,but then again they've got the cash,so clubs are bound to squeeze Madrid dry.

 

[Kev]

Bayern have told Hargreaves to forget about a move to Man Utd.

 

[m_vaughan]

Lets see how Diarra performs in La Liga. He seems to be very promising, and hence the high price of his transfer fee.

 

[sachin]

But Emerson,Cannavaro,and Van Tapinrooy cost around 30 Mil....It's around that anyway. :

Newcastle on the verge of signing Obafemi Martins.An excellent signing imo apart from the fact that his real age is not known to us.

EDIT:Gerrard seems to have an upset stomach,hopefully will play today.

Boulahrouz is very good defender. He played only two matches in the World Cup, but he shown his worth in these matches. Also he played great in the World Cup qualifiers.

Boulahrouz completes Chelsea move

Chelsea have completed the signing of Dutch international defender Khalid Boulahrouz from German club Hamburg for an undisclosed fee.

[sachin]

How weird is that problem with Obafemi's age?Imagine if he is 27!?He might fissle out as after a season or two...Newcastle always seem to get the bad luck.

Arsenal may be looking at acquiring Jonathan Woodgate from Madrid, as they are potentially losing Ashley Cole to Chelsea.
