Manwell Pablo Posted 11 January 2007 Author Posted 11 January 2007 Struggling to understand where Derby are getting their money from. This time last season they were in the shit big time and although they got new owners, they still owe a hell of a lot of money. The new owners "re-structured" it, it went down to about 4 million in the end.......somehow.
Leonisco Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 Pompey snap up midfielder Mvuemba Portsmouth could sign Mvuemba permanently in the summer Portsmouth have captured the loan signing of French midfielder Arnold Mvuemba from Rennes. The 21-year-old France Under-21 international will stay at Fratton Park until May, after which Pompey have the option to complete a permanent deal. Manager Harry Redknapp was impressed by Mvuemba's trial before Christmas. The midfielder was named player of the tournament at the Toulon Under-21 event in 2005 after inspiring France to victory over Portugal in the final. Link Who? At first I thought it was Rio Mavuba and the BBC had just spelt it wrong ( ) but I've never heard of this guy.
Ric Flair Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 The new owners "re-structured" it, it went down to about 4 million in the end.......somehow. Very dodgy that. They've spent about £6 million this season, so their owners must have some wedge or they are borrowing again!
Leonisco Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 Very dodgy that. They've spent about £6 million this season, so their owners must have some wedge or they are borrowing again! Well whatever happens I hope they spend shitloads on crap players, don't make the premiership and then go bust! Fookin sheep <_<
MC Prussian Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 Well whatever happens I hope they spend shitloads on crap players, don't make the premiership and then go bust! Fookin sheep <_< In that case, they should be relegated to League Two directly (or even further down)!

TAFKA Castroneves Posted 11 January 2007 Posted 11 January 2007 Derby are like Coventry they are taking a risk that they will get promoted in a certain amount of years so they can pay off their debts when they get their Premiership money. Coventry at the moment are in a lot of trouble, although they've got three years to get up there - Derby have decided it seems to stick all their eggs in one basket and now they are up there are gonna try and stay there. If it goes tits up there could be problems. EDIT - Cardiff got a blinding deal for Peter Whittingham, 300k isn't bad at all for him.
Molson Canadian Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 From FOX Sports http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/6362438 LONDON (AP) - Edgar Davids could be the next big European soccer star to follow David Beckham to Major League Soccer. One day after Beckham agreed a US$250 million (€193 million) five-year deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy, the Dutch midfielder was in talks Friday with FC Dallas. "We are actually in negotiations with Edgar Davids - we've been speaking for a couple of weeks," said Dallas coach Steve Morrow, a former Northern Ireland international midfielder who played for Arsenal. "We were excited to hear about his availability, so we spoke to his agents and have been told he is available." Davids, who wears protective eyeglasses on the field because he has the eye condition glaucoma, has won domestic and European club titles with Ajax, Juventus and FC Barcelona. Nicknamed "Pit Bull" because of his aggressive style of playing, Davids plays for Tottenham in the Premier League but has lost his first-team place. "It appears Tottenham are willing to listen to offers," Morrow told BBC radio. "It's the transfer window in the United States now and if a deal is going to happen it has to be done before the end of the month." Seems to me now that becks has gone to the MLS more and more of these older guys who can still play are going to be making there ways to MLS clubs just like they did in the 70's with the likes of Pele and George Best
JoeyB Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 there all just going there for the asy ride and money tbh no offense to the americans intended
lildave3 Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Beckham is a trend setter, always will be. People will want to follow him and earn the same respect (and money) as he is.
Joe. Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Beckham is a trend setter, always will be. People will want to follow him and earn the same respect (and money) as he is. Like he wants to do, he'll probably help American 'soccer' a lot because like you say otehrs will follow and the American leagues should improve.
Molson Canadian Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Wonder how much he'll be on if he goes? the mls just allowed for a higher spending cap by each of it's teams so who knows how much he will be on, i wonder how much the actual transfer fee will be or if he will be allowed to leave on a free
JoeyB Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 the mls just allowed for a higher spending cap by each of it's teams so who knows how much he will be on, i wonder how much the actual transfer fee will be or if he will be allowed to leave on a free he cant go ta la galaxy now can he ? due to one team being aloud to break they salary cap for 1 player iirc
lildave3 Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 he cant go ta la galaxy now can he ? due to one team being aloud to break they salary cap for 1 player iirc Allowed 2 players over the cap.
Molson Canadian Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 he cant go ta la galaxy now can he ? due to one team being aloud to break they salary cap for 1 player iirc no he can't, i think each team is allowed to designate one player as there franchise player and make them the highest paid as long as the team comes under the salary cap, the mls has done this to encourage and attract european players.
JoeyB Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 Allowed 2 players over the cap. cheers only thought it was 1 imagine if ronaldo joined beckham that would be great team then
Molson Canadian Posted 12 January 2007 Posted 12 January 2007 cheers only thought it was 1 imagine if ronaldo joined beckham that would be great team then i think landon donavon already is there other player over the cap

"He believes his family has to come before his professional career at this stage. "It is a case of working out a deal agreeable to player and club." Reyna has been troubled by injuries and has not played since December.
