Kölle Alaaf! 1. FC Köln 2009/2010 - There's something about Soldo's Warriors!

Well, at least Man U. seems to have done a 180 when it comes to Tosic.

First, they didn't want to sell him, now it seems they would rather sell him than loan him out again.

But that's your problem, isn't it? Coming up with Man U.'s price to buy him?

Yeah, I think so. Meier is trying to find a "creative" solution, whatever thay may be.

SAF won't be into creativity. He'll want money.

Honest, accurate, yet very funny all at the same time. I laughed and laughed. Thanks Keith.

seems you guys are very interested in croatian leftback ivan strinic..he made a great debut against austria followed by another very good game against whales..some are saying that the deal is already done..i hope he stays at hajduk but it will be very hard to keep him after a great season for the club and a very good performance for the nt..

Dude, "whales" are the huge fish.

"Wales" is the country belonging to the United Kingdom.


Good to see you posting again!!

I wasn't trying to just illustrate the error, but was trying make sure you know for the next time you need to type "Wales" anywhere.

I had no "bad" intentions.

lol. all in fun i'm sure.

lol well i figured that..btw i hope you guys buy a croatian player this summer so i can start posting and following your team again..

I'm fine with this. So what is the transfer in and out look like?

I had read earlier today that Man Utd allowed Tosic to go to a Russian club, I think CSKA Moscow. Forgot the source. Don't know if it was another loan or if he was sold.

Sold for 5 million

Damn. It was fifa.com where I saw the short article. Cologne apparently continued to express interest until they could no longer compete financially.

They never "competed" financially.


Eddie, where did you get the fee amount from?

No source I know has it.

Want to say Yahoo, but I may have heard it during the WC broadcast.

Poor wording on my part.
Cologne apparently balked at United's asking price of £5million, according to a Sky Sports article from early June.

transfermarkt website has the CSKA fee at €9.5m.
Manchester Evening News headlines the fee at £8m but the story notes the deal was done "for an undisclosed fee, but the Reds can expect around £8m to be banked."

CSKA officials said that the agreed transfer fee was "significantly lower" than the rumoured £8m = €9.5m. So I suppose something in-between €6-6.5m.

wow! u guys got screwed today! what a shame.
