    Yes, with so much talk about the subject, this is a good idea. But, I’ll be the first to admit I hate transfers and rumours (it’s that media thing again…). I get too attached, I know, that’s my problem. Every player has their own personality they bring to the team. There has to be something més than just being a fantastic footballer to make up a functioning unit.
    That said, the least bothersome transfer for me would be, Ezquerro, there, I said it. Happy Lucho? As much as it pains me to send anyone to the abattoir and hang him by a hook, realistically speaking, he’s the one that least contributes in playing time… I suppose Belletti could go too and I know a few others should, but I can’t bring myself to admit it yet... give me some time. :eek:

    I think you're not looking might have been due to the shock caused by Roque Jr. Rakim. Nicely done.

    Seems like Real Madrid are slowly but surely reeling Tevez in, which makes me :mad: ... I like Tevez and want to continue liking him, but not in a white jersey.

    Thanks. :) Just the name Roque Jr. gives me the shivers.

    No I'm only a fanboy Of Kluivert. Roque Jr. is just part a an inside joke I have with some of my friends. When we would play WE8 Roque would always be the defender that just completely f'd up every play and never did a damn thing right. After that I stated touting him (sarcastically) as the greatest defender ever. The rest is history. Hypothetically if he came here I'd be his biggest fan. :D

    Heh, doesn't it sound like a fast food chain or something?

    Oh oh oh, according to Tribal Football, Barca's interested in none other than the gentle, cuddly Marco Materazzi.
    http://www.tribalfootball.com/article.php?id=39597

    Knowing the source, I would guess this story was pieced together when The Matrix happened to be playing on TV next to a coffeetable book about Barcelona, which led the desperate writer (when I think of tf.com, I think of writers chained to desks and made to produce crap while they are horsewhipped) to produce this journalism.

    Anyway I will wear my drawers on my head the day Barca announce interest in Marco Materazzi, but I think it'd be hilarious if he played in La Liga, for several reasons.

    Madrid and their neverending strategy of buying players they don't need. I heard they were after Ibrahimovic also :rolleyes:.

    I want to see you with your drawers on your head! But I'm sure this rumor is utter crap.

    He is my least favorite Italian defender and every time he went near a ball playing for gli Azzurri last summer I covered my eyes. BUT, since the WC he has been incredible. It's like the spirit of Baresi took over his body. And he's scored more goals (9) for Inter this season than Julio Cruz, Stankovic and Adriano. In footballing terms, he'd be a decent addition, better than Marquez has been this season and faster than the others...and the humor quotient would go way up.

    And I'll be there to photograph the "sight" - panty-lines and all... :D
    Anyway... wasn't everyone complaining that we needed some "giants" on this mini-me team? Here's the chance. I can only imagine him standing beside Giuly & Co. for the "group" shot. :p

    All gossip at this point, but if Tevez goes to Spain, it'd be between Madrid and Barca, and looks like Madrid are much more into buying him.

    Agree with all of this from top... to bottoms.

    Got to see him play in the San Siro last year, yes he is really really really Italian. ;)

    Re: WE. I've seen plenty of great Roque Jr. greatness plays myself, another great comedy defender is Stam. Always a safe bet to weakly win a header, clear it about 5 yds, and setup an open shot for an attacker.

    I dont usually trust englisht news papers especially not The Sun (the first to mention this rumour) but i doubt that Tevez is coming to Madrid especially because he is non EU (which i think he is) and there are no free spots at RM unless we loan out Marcelo.

    He's defenitively moving from the Hammers though.

    Yes I just couldn't stop laughing when I saw him when I played against Brasil in WE8. He reminds me a lot of Titus Bramble. :D Thank G'd in WE9 and WE2007 he's not in the game. It would be too much for me to take.

    WHOA! Did I just see someone quoting from Tribal Football? :eek:



    Monchengladbach leftback Marcell Jansen has apparently told the relegated Bundesliga club of his wish to leave. His contract with Gladbach ends in 2009.
    Jansen was a target of Barcelona, Arsenal and Bayern Munich last summer and Barca seems to still have interest.
    Heard his name but don't really know much about him.
