Discussion of any major football club/player is encouraged. Post any transfer rumours or finished deals and their details that you come across. Avoid quoting The Sun, we all know that shite is total rubbish.
My big question: What are the big changes in Liverpool going to be?
It seems these players are leaving:
Bellamy
Fowler
Gonzalez
Hyypia (he claims he has no plans to leave... he might anyway)
Cisse
Sissoko
Dudek
There may be more.
Rumours tie David Villa to Liverpool, suggesting that he wants to play for Rafa Benitez. Voronin already signed. Perhaps some interest in Huntelaar out there? Suggestions of Darren Bent from the Spurs. A new back will be brought in likely... as well as a new winger.
What sides will change the most? Who is well sorted for next year? Who is buggered?

A) How's Bellamy look?
Coker is a Tottenham midfielder. He is English, and I think he lived in Sierra Leone as a kid. They almost put him on the English World Cup Side... but then they din't because he is not that special. Right now, he is openly admitting that he wants an offer from Arsenal. He has been tied to a few clubs... including Villa. Villa supporters should calm down, as I dont see him saving or destroying your midfield line, in the rare event he does come to Villa. Spurs want 9 mil for him, and I don't think he is worth it. We shall see.
**edit** when I say Tottenham, or the Spurs... I am lying to you. They are another club interested in coker, he plays for West Ham
- Stuttgart has signed Basturk on a free from Hertha Berlin.
- Marcell Jansen has moved to Bayern Munich. (Talk about depth on the left back position.)
- Manuel Friederich has moved to Bayer Leverkusen.
- Drobny signed with Hertha Berlin.
- Jermaine Jones has moved to Schalke 04 from Eintracht Frankfurt.
- Mike Hanke has moved to Hannover 96 from Vfl Wolfsburg.
- Rafael Van der Vaart has rejected a move to Bayern Munich.
- Bayern Munich is linked with Ujafalusi from Fiorentina.
- Quaresma rejected a move to Bayern Munich.
- Kevin Prince-Boateng has been linked to move to Man City.
- Mohamed Zidan has moved from relegated Mainz to Hamburg SV.
Some Bundesliga news for you lot.
Reo-Coker plays for West Ham. Not Tottenham.
Honestly, Quaresma will want to go somewhere big (and somewhere warm) so IMO, the list down to Barca (a return for him), Madrid, Sevilla, Inter or Chelsea (not a warm climate though for either team). My bet is on somewhere in Spain. I don't see him back at Barca, but I can see him a club like Sevilla or Valencia.
Valencia would make sense. I wonder if he would play for Rafa if Liverpool was willing to pay his fee.
But, you are right, there is little hope for Liverpool to get the sort of quality striker I want... Rafa is going to want Darren Bent, because Rafa is a motherfucker.
Tevez is evidently coming to Liverpool... according to http://www.football-rumours.co.uk/
Torres to Chelseaat 20 mil
Heskey to Fulham
Felix Magath has now been appointed as coach and sporting director of Vfl Wolfsburg aka. FC Volkswagen.
* please god, we must not sell Berbatov.
And I hate them
I like Arsenal, 'cause thier uniforms are slick. That is the extent of my knowledge of soccer.
I also really hope the rumours of Henri going are true. Arsenal play so much worse when Henri isn't there.
We lost the Fox Soccer Channel at the house here earlier this year, and being an American, I don't have much access to actually see any of the games.
The only real football fix I get now is playing FIFA 07 - Arsenal is my franchise team, and the reason I ask is that within a season Walcott became a fucking monster.
I hope to god not. I've been hearing alot of talk about Chelsea and how they have the money to buy anyone.
Torres is very determined to play in his original team, but I really think he's hunger for wins is getting bigger and Atlético isn't the place to get them.
But I really hope goes for something interesting, other than Chelsea.
I have a feeling he'll go to Barca, seeing as Eto'o still seems unsettled, meaning they made need to replace with a good out and out striker.
I really don't know where he's going to be in year or two, but Real Madrid wouldn't be a bad guess. Seeing that they just let go both Ronaldo and Beckham. But then again I'd like to see Real Madrid not to count on high profile players in coming years and work as a team.
What do we think of the possibility that Shevchenko would go back to Milan on loan? I'll try to dig up a link.
Arsenal are in dire need of strikers. Baptista sucked ass, and thankfully Wenger is letting him go back to Madrid. Adebayor was utter shit at Monaco, and he's still a Peter Crouch without the latter's control. Really, the gunners are in need of a Bergkamp/Pires type. I also happen to dislike Hleb - he is indecisive on the ball and probably gave the ball away more than anything this season. Aliadiere is also total shit. Van Persie, and Mr TH14 are just not enough. Especially considering that Henry is not getting any younger and that VP has a tendency to get injured easily.
Defensively, if Gallas and Toure stay healthy, we should be alright. Eboue needs to stop being a total bitch and stop flopping all over the gd place. Djourou, Fabregas, Gilberto and Rosicky are going to have to be good enough to maintain the midfield. At least, they're better than Fat Frank.
Kinda pissed that Ribery decided to go to Germany.
PS: I hate Chelsea. Here's to hoping Mourinho gets the boot and Cashley dies to an army of rabid wombats.
they don't it be like it is but it do
That is pretty crazy, as I have a fantasy about killing Mourinho with a fleet of "flying attack porcupines".
tribalfootball.com suggests that Liverpool may be getting Silva.
Also, they suggest Liverpool may trade Cisse for Simao from Benfica. (Cisse probably wont like this trade)
Villa evidently want Kewell and Bellamy out of L'pool
I think the last rumour I read was that Barca were offering Arsenal a large sum of money and Eto'o for Henri.
That is not a bad deal.
Umm, what? Really? Are you sure you're not thinking of the minor kerfluffle over LA maybe loaning him out in November?
Because a straight-up broken deal would be huge.
Seriously, and I'd hate to see it, having already bought tickets to see the Galaxy face off against the local and horrible Crew.
It'd just be a shit game otherwise.
I'm really excited for the future of Manchester United as Anderson is a logical replacement for Scholes, Nani will do great when Giggs finally retires, and Hargreaves will make a great anchor.
My only concern is Carrick's playing time. I really like Carrick and hope his on field time doesn't suffer as a result of these acquisitions.
The only thing I'd like ManU to do now is get a decent, non-injury-prone young striker to play along with Rooney. Gotta love Ole, but his moment in the sun is gone. Saha is just too injury prone and not that good, IMO. And Smith is a good player, but a good bench player.
If they truly did hack my computer and steal my Fifa07 saved game, then they're going to go after Messi and Aguero next. *crosses his fingers*
