MC Prussian Posted 27 June 2013 Posted 27 June 2013 Andrei Arshavin is returning to his native Russia and joins Zenit St. Petersburg: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23077708 Always baffled me how he let himself go - looked massively unfit and overweight in recent years. Clearly a motivational problem.

Toffee_Fox Posted 2 July 2013 Posted 2 July 2013 Anyone watch women's football at all? England have gone to Sweden for their Euro's which starts 12th July, my cousin is named in the England squad so delighted the BBC are broadcasting the games, hopefully they do better than the youngsters this summer!
stix Posted 2 July 2013 Author Posted 2 July 2013 Anyone watch women's football at all? England have gone to Sweden for their Euro's which starts 12th July, my cousin is named in the England squad so delighted the BBC are broadcasting the games, hopefully they do better than the youngsters this summer! What's her name? Will keep an eye out for her. A friend's cousin plays for Arsenal ladies, think she's been on loan somewhere else recently though.
Toffee_Fox Posted 3 July 2013 Posted 3 July 2013 (edited) http://www.thefa.com/england/All-Teams/Players/D/Toni-Duggan Only young and her first major tourney so probably be off the bench player, top goalscorer in the league so far with 12 goals in 10 games this season so should be one to watch!

MC Prussian Posted 4 July 2013 Posted 4 July 2013 PSG's sporting director Leonardo has been banned for nine months and PSG possibly docked three points for this harmless incident following the Paris - Valenciennes game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omtfl-SC3m4&feature=youtu.be "... the LFP confirmed on its official website it had now suspended him for nine months, with the ban keeping him from "the touchline, the referees' dressing room and all official functions". PSG reacted angrily to the punishment, and have decided to appeal against the ban." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2333559/PSG-director-Leonardo-banned-months-barging-referee.html Leonardo's ban has been extended to 13 months in total: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23178739 And all that for one shoulder hit.
goose2010 Posted 5 July 2013 Posted 5 July 2013 Apparently Cavani has signed for PSG think Ibra could end up in the prem? them two upfront together though could be devastating.
HEGGSY Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 Atletico and Barca agree fee of £4.4m for David Villa. £4.4m!!! Incredible
Guest MattP Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 (edited) Bet Atletico wish they had added on a couple of million and got Dwight Gayle. Edited 8 July 2013 by MattP
StanSP Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 Barca also get 50% of any future transfer . Granted there won't be many and won't be for much but the initial cost there is great for a player of his talent.
HEGGSY Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 Bet Atletico wish they had added on a couple od million and got Dwight Gayle. lol
MC Prussian Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 Atletico and Barca agree fee of £4.4m for David Villa. £4.4m!!! Incredible They've got enough silly money to waste after the Falcao transfer. Provided he stays injury-free, then Atlético got themselves a real bargain there.
Bayfox Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 (edited) why have barca inserted a sell on clause? what will.they get when he leaves athletico a fiver. dortmund look to be doing some sound business tho. buying players who can slot into the work ethic they already have. Edited 9 July 2013 by Bayfox
MC Prussian Posted 12 July 2013 Posted 12 July 2013 Real Madrid sign Real Sociédad's 23-year old midfielder Illarramendi for £34m. He must be good. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23288764
MC Prussian Posted 14 July 2013 Posted 14 July 2013 Barcelona's Thiago is rumoured to join Bayern Munich for 20 million Euro. http://www.marca.com/2013/07/14/en/football/barcelona/1373812295.html And all that after Guardiola publicly announced he wouldn't sign any players from his old club!
MC Prussian Posted 16 July 2013 Posted 16 July 2013 PSG have now gotten hold of Edinson Cavani - for a meagre £55m. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23335325

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 18 July 2013 Posted 18 July 2013 Marquinhos' transfer to PSG from Roma looks a done deal according to the French journos on Twitter. 35 million euros.
Darkon84 Posted 19 July 2013 Posted 19 July 2013 Hulk to Monaco for 55 million....true or not? I'm feeling far too lazy to actually look for myself this morning.
MC Prussian Posted 19 July 2013 Posted 19 July 2013 Hulk to Monaco for 55 million....true or not? I'm feeling far too lazy to actually look for myself this morning. It was rumoured to be a Twitter-only phenomenon, and as our dear Monaco friend Jim92 has already pointed out, they're much more in need of defenders at the moment.
MC Prussian Posted 19 July 2013 Posted 19 July 2013 (edited) Former Italian international Gianluca Zambrotta has joined Swiss second division club FC Chiasso (in the south of the country, close to Italy)! The now 36-year old will both play and act as an assistant coach: http://www.fcchiasso.ch He was born in Como, not too far away from Chiasso. I suppose he just can't quit playing football. Will be interesting to see him live when they come up north to face my local team. Edited 19 July 2013 by MC Prussian
