According to kicker Fabian Ernst will have to look for a new club. Besiktas Istanbul has been thrown out of the Euro League although they qualified because of UEFA financial fairplay (230 million € debts) and the Turkish clubs advised according to the kicker some of their key, but also best paid players to look for a new club. Among them are beside Ernst the Portuguese Simao and Ricardo Quaresma. kicker article
Thankfully is not the bacterial one. He'll be good to go in a month or so I guess. Already joking on twitter.
He was on the receiving end of a vicious foul this weekend. Other than that I haven't really seen much of him in the Premier league review show.
lots of press in australia atm linking ballack to west sydney wanderers (new A-league franchise). club is in talks with ballack's agent...apparently they offer 1.6million for 1 season. doubt it'll happen but thought the same thing about a week ago just before del piero signed with sydney fc.
Klose scored a hand goal yesterday but told the referee to disallow his goal, Wow that is the first time i have ever seen a player do that....Applause for Klose for his Honesty and Fair play http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/socce...dmits-ref-goal-disallowed-210044470--sow.html
well ballack's decided to call it a day instead...will have to be content watching western sydneys other german signing...some guy by the name of jerome polenz....know absolutely nothing about him. brings the total to 2 the number of germans in the A-league....other guy is brisbane's thomas broich who was voted the best player in the league last season.

Kicker mentioned yesterday that he missed the Ex-Hertha clash with Christian Lell (Levante), but that is indeed a heavy injury (and according to the article it is already the 3rd injury break Ebert has to take this season). Que mala suerte, all the best on his way to recovery.
Damn, Lellinho is playing in Spain? Crazy! Although according to his Wikipedia page, it seems like "playing" might be a stretch
He's started most games atcually: Chris: http://es.levanteud.com/levante/estadisticas/20122013/liga.html
Torsten Frings has retired: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/news/20130226/torsten-frings-retirement.ap/?sct=sc_t2_a10
Merkel is not really getting any minutes at Udinese it seems and Holtby should have probably been a lot more efficient in his games for Tottenham to secure a starting spot.
