Sporting4ever Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 The draws have not been kind to us on the last three occasions for sure, even the Kharkiv game was a tough one. Hopefully we'll fare better this time . Same. But it's gonna be though, I think. The teams that go out of the 3rd CL qualifying go into the last Europa League qualifying round, and the teams that go out on the CL 4th round get into the Europa League groups stage, so there's gonna be quite an interesting mix of teams in there. I'd like Sporting going to the CL groups, but since in the 4th qualifier we can be pitted against the likes of Milan, Real, Chelsea and everyone else not getting direct access to groups, I'm not too thrilled about our chances...

aaron Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) its july 1st, always has been, defo not june 1st. players go on holiday / summer international tornements. Transfer window isnt open. Wiki:FIFA regulates in general that there shall be two windows, a longer one (max. twelve weeks) in the break between two seasons and shorter one (max. four weeks) in the middle of a season. The specific periods depend on the league's season cycle and are determined by the national football authorities.[4] When a league commences in the second half of the year (eg. August or September) and stretches over two calendar years (autumn-spring season), the first window is usually open from 1 July until midnight of 31 August and the second one from 1 January until midnight on 31 January the same year. Most major European leagues have adopted this scheme. Edited June 2, 2009 by aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And window did open yesterday,when all major leagues in europe has ended. Dunno is there mistake in wiki but how can city buy Barry when window is closed? And Real bought Kaka?

jamiemaher85 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I was just trawllig through this thread to see who was talked about in older tansfer windows, got to give it to Bill though. Damn good call! Even if the positions mentioned where a little off! Phil Jagielka... Voted Sheff Utds player of the year for the third year on the trot, Left back and left Mid. Glad Moyes didn't listen to Mac though! Got to disagree here Bill, his is a jack of all trades, master of none, big swerve from up here. ATB Mac Bill did however tarnish his soothsayer abilities by suggesting that he would be ok if we got rid of Neville if... Only if we get Barton first. Its quite funny looking through some of these actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Sunderland boss Steve Bruce will make an ambitious bid to land Antonio Valencia from his former club Wigan. (Various) Bruce is also keen to sign centre-back Titus Bramble from the Latics. (News of the World) Alan Shearer is ready to walk aADVERTISEMENTway from Newcastle because owner Mike Ashley is stalling on talks regarding his potential future as manager of the club. (The People) This could be because Shearer is not Ashley's preferred choice for the vacant manager's post at St James' Park, and the only way he will become their new boss is if a new buyer for the club is found. (Mail on Sunday) Alternatively, Shearer could replace Celtic-bound manager Tony Mowbray at West Brom. (News of the World) Newcastle striker Michael Owen is wanted by Aston Villa, but the 29-year-old will have to take a £70,000-a-week pay cut to seal the move. (News of the World) However, Italian club Roma are also eyeing up a move for the England striker. (Sunday Mirror) One potential saviour of Newcastle is former chairman Freddy Shepherd, who is planning to launch a £75m takeover bid to resume control of the club this week. (Sunday Mirror) Tottenham are leading the race to sign former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy - with his current club Real Madrid ready to let the 32-year-old Dutch striker go for just £1.25m. (The People) Alternatively, Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has his sights set on a £10m move for Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz. (News of the World) Manchester City will offer defender Micah Richards as bait in their bid to sign Everton centre-back Joleon Lescott. (News of the World) Italian champions Inter Milan are preparing a £25m bid for Arsenal striker Robin van Persie. (Sunday Mirror) Manchester United face losing out to Champions League conquerors Barcelona in the race to sign France stars Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema. (Mail on Sunday) Barcelona are also planning a £20m swoop for United defender Nemanja Vidic. (Daily Star Sunday) United boss Alex Ferguson is planning to boost his defensive options by signing Sheffield United's £7m-rated right-back Kyle Naughton. (Sunday Mirror) Portsmouth defender Glen Johnson will move back to Chelsea this week in a deal worth £16million. (Various) Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce is ready to swoop for Paris St Germain star Jerome Rothen. (The People) Manchester City will continue their summer spending spree with the signing of Athletic Bilbao's Spanish midfielder Javi Martinez, who is rated as one of the hottest prospects in Europe. (The People) Hull City manager Phil Brown is set to bid £4m for Bolton striker Kevin Davies. (The People) Fulham are leading the race for Middlesbrough's England Under-21 winger Adam Johnson. (The People) Cottagers boss Roy Hodgson is also ready to offer £1m for Nuremberg's Australian centre-half Matthew Spiranovic. (News of the World) Liverpool are set to make a shock move to re-sign striker Peter Crouch from Portsmouth for as little as £4m. (Sunday Mirror) West Ham are set to become the latest Premier League club to be taken over by Americans in a £70m takeover. (Mail on Sunday) Chelsea striker Didier Drogba insists he wants to talk to new manager Carlo Ancelotti about his vision for the future before signing a new deal with the club. (The People) Andorra centre-back Oscar Sonejee - who is set to line up for his country in the World Cup qualifier against England on Wednesday - has blasted England's players, claiming some of them care more about having a celebrity lifestyle than playing football. (The People) English clubs could be forced to abandon plans to recruit foreign players and shop at home in the near future if Fifa goes ahead with plans to introduce legislation requiring clubs to include up to six 'domestic' players in their side. (Sunday Express) Liverpool are facing a legal backlash after dismissing 16 members of their backroom staff, who are now set to seek compensation for unfair dismissal. (News of the World) Former Liverpool and England winger John Barnes is set to be named Tranmere Rovers boss this week.

craigb Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Well this is an interesting one... Yesterday i was in the bank, and i know a few of the lads in there, we got talking about everton, and i was told, someone who knows someone working at man utd, came into the bank yesterday and said scholes was offered a 1 year contract, and was unsure as whether to take it up, as his days seem to be numbered there. Now don't shoot the messenger but supposedly everton are looking into a 2 year deal for him? What do you think of that? And also, would you like scholes at are club, for his experience now, more than anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
