Over the past hour I've been reading alot of the transfer stories that are supposidly going to come off before the deadline on Saturday. How many of these do you think will actually happen? Ronaldo to Man United ( doubt it very much) Claudio Lopez to Man United (money still owed for Stam?) Ricardo Lopez to Man United Julian Escude to Man United Nicolas Burdisso to Man United(who?) Robbie Keane to Spurs Tore Andre Flo to Sunderland Hasselbaink to Barcelona(thought that was off?) Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Sunderland Alexander Zickler to Sunderland(how many strikers can be linked with a club?) Jari Litmanen to Ajax Colin Healy to Everton, Sunderland, Blackburn or Aston Villa. Tim Cahill to Blackburn Marcus Stewart to Sunderland Diego Tristan to Man United or Arsenal Rami Shabaan to Arsenal(a goalie apparently) Dino Baggio to Chelsea Raul Bravo to Leeds Brett Emerton to Leeds Fernando Morientes to Spurs(apparently still possible) Darren Anderton to Leeds Hasan Sas to Liverpool John Hartson to Southampton Dare say you think I made these up, but honestly they've came from one soure or another on the net. Although, that doesn't mean to say they haven't made them up! Surely people wouldn't do that? Anyway, I think maybe about 5 of the transfers listed above will come off. Theres a couple there that would be pretty unbelievable.
there is rumors of some one from MLS going to the EPL. I beleive it is Damarcus Beasley. Not sure tho. And MLS is hard to buy payers from. they think that the players are worth a lot more then they are.
Yeh, i missed that one about Beasley. I have seen that somewhere today though. Just checked, it was Middlesboro, but they have signed Jesper Blomquist and it says they may shelve their plans to sign Beasley.
Rami Shabaan (Shaw-bahn) - I heard it mispronounced by everyone on Sky... Well, I've seen him play lots and lots of times for Djurgården, which is the club i supported when i lived in Sweden. He is actually the No.2 keeper at Djurgården behind Andreas Isaksson, who went to the World Cup for Sweden (didn't play). I think a year under Seaman at Arsenal would do wonders for Rami, he's very athletic and has lightning quick reflexes. He has made many saves that he has had no business saving. I hope that helps out some arsenal supporters who knew nothing about him....
The Egyptian Rami has said publicly that he's agreed personal terms w/ Arsenal. Also, Litmanen will sign w/ Ajax for one year according to an official from the Dutch club.
bolmquist has join charlton not boro, so there could be a possibility. But with the transfer window coming into play after tommorow i think it is unlikly that he will sign before then.
Just an update on deals COMPLETED so far today: Player From To Shaaban Djuurgardens Arsenal Marcus Hall Coventry Soton Andrei Kanchelskis Free agent Soton Jesper Blomquist Free agent Charlton Robbie Mustoe Middlesboro Charlton Tore Andre Flo Rangers Sunderland Marcus Stewart Ipswich Sunderland Ricardo Valladolid (?) ManUre Jari Litmanen Liverpool Ajax Leeds and Tottenham have agreed a fee (reportedly £7 million) for Robbie Keane and the player is now in London talking to Spurs. However, the signing has not been completed as I write this.
Inter have agreed terms with Rela for Ronaldo - £20m plus two players, one of whom is likely to be Morientes. So that settles Glenn's nearly purchase. Still it looks like he has nearly purchased Robbie Keane and he's definitely let go Leonhardsen to Villa.
