Apperently Harry Kewell could be off to… Fulham!
I odn’t think it’ll happen since he has been playing pretty well at Liverpool considering how long he’s been out for, Plus Rafa Benitez believes in him and thinks this time he’ll play his best football this/next season.
manchester united should buy many talented players like miguel veloso,bosingwa andalan hutton a good chance to strengthen their defence
Man Utd should go for “super” Johnny Paintsil from West Ham - a hidden gem off to the African nations cup. Would walk into Barcelona’s team when on top form.
Arsenal should strengthen their current team with world class forward/striker. Nicola Anelka will be a good choice since he has been with Arsenal before.
In my personal opinion, Arsenal will be crown BPL champion this year because this team is hungry and thirsty. Meeting AC Milan will be a good test for their bid to capture champion league this year. If Arsenal can beat AC Milan, for sure Champion league will be theirs. MU play the most entertaining football in BPL but this team is inconsistent in their matches. Liverpool is also one of the most inconsistent team of the top 4. Chelsea will never be the BPL champion again forever in my opinion.
Honestly i think man united should seriously look at Berbatov, his already said he wants to come and we only really have 3 strikers in Rooney, Teves, and Saha. with Giggs aging, i think Quaresma from Porto would be an excellent replacement and since Neville’s situation doesnt look to promising and we need a permanent substitute Bosingwa or richards would be something to look at.
Liverpool Should buy the good players like drogba,Ronaldinho,Joaquin,Sergio Ramos, And Cristiano Ronaldo.
I think benitez will be sacked with Mourinho taking over. I wont be suprise with the likes of terry,lampard and drogba joining over.
I agree with rasa sayang. I think jose should take over liverpool, they have fabulous players however they always lose with benitez
beside,sven should bring some players to strength man.ct
& for tottenham, try find experience goal keeper like ricardo,bartez or hilario
No, no, no! Diarra should not go. He is a multpurpose. He should learn from Flamini. He too was once thirsty to leave the gunners. He is now one of the master minds in Arsenal’s assasinations. Diarra is too good but let him wait for his time to come. Gilberto should exit and Denelson should establish himself more.
Apparently these are the most likely liverpool tranfers (by the way most of these that will go through will happen in summer and not this month)
transfer summary
possible out: –
Hyypia (Free Transfer)
Finnan (£4 million, Villa)
Riise (Valencia, £8 million) – Possible player + cash for Villa/Silva
Pennant (Portsmouth, £5 million)
Alonso (Real Madrid, £20 million)
Kewell (Fulham, £3 million) – Could include Hyypia in a double coup for ex Finland boss Roy Hodgson
Voronin (PanathiniAkos, £1.5 million)
Crouch (Manchester City, £12 million) – Could be part of Elano switch
Kuyt (FC Bayern Munchen, £18 million)
possible in: –
Hart (£8 million, City)
Taylor ( £7 million, Newcastle)
Bruno Alves (£6 million, Porto)
Daniel Alves (£22 million, Sevilla)
Gabriel Heinze (£6 million, Real Madrid) Could be a makeweight in Alonso deal.
Matias Fernandez (£9 million, Villareal)
Silva (£19 million, Valencia)
Nasri (£12 million, Marsielle)
Elano (£9 million, man City)
Berbatov (£18 million, Tottenham)
Villa (£22 million, Valencia)
Ibrahimovic (£24 million, Inter)
Ageuro (£30 million, Athletic Madrid)
Alot of those are mouth watering prospects for liverpool fans but the one i hope for the most is also the most unlikely one the aguero one the reason it is unlikely is that over the next 2 tranfer windows liverpool have roughly 50 million to spend and its clear Benitez wants at least 3 tranfers so its unlikely he will spend 30 million on one player.
I am also suprised we are linked with Berbatov, Elano and Alves!?
LIverpools team for the 2009 season will be:
Reina-GK
Alves-RB
Skrtel-CB
Agger-CB
Marcelo-LB
Lucas-DM
De Rossi-DM
Gerrard-AM
Nasri-AM
Torres-ST
Aguero-ST
Subs:
Ochoa-GK
Hobbs-CB
Carra-CB
Dos Santos-AM
Alonso-CM
Ibrahamovic-ST
As a MU fan, i believe MU will be able to retain the title.
Although for time being,their do have some striker & defender crisis but i think with some minor tweak, MU able to produce a power squad. As FYI, Wes Brown may be on his way White-lane and with Neville still recovering, i hope Fergie would land-in a reliable player..may be Miguel (Valencia) or Chivu (Inter).Just forget bout Berbatov..to costly for “stingy team” like MU… May be their can bid for Santa Cruz(Blakburn) he seem to be a goal scoring machine or Saviola (RM)…or Luca Toni(B.Munich) if MU willing to spend alot of money… MU might repeat treble 1999 with this revised team… EPL title, FA Cup, Champions League…hahaha
Liverpool fans are sooo dreaming. Kyut 18 mil. and Berbatov the same? and than Alonso 20mil. and Crouch 12 mil?HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Too funny. You clouns better stop dreaming.
May be the US govt is financing Liverpool… no more Liverpool FC ..change it to Liverpool US..hahaha
U can change ur jersey sponser from carlsberg to NASA
I totally agree wit you taron! these liverpool fans are a bunch of fruitcakes! those are the most ridiculous transfer rumours ive ever heard, those might be players that they’d like to see at liverpool sure but wouldnt we all? plz stop dreaming. you guys dnt even deserve torres! wat a waste of talent. and mourinho will never go to liverpool! incase you dnt remember he did say he wont go back to england or portugal, so its probable that he be in italy or spain next season. honestly all i wanna see is quaresma at united!
WOW ALL U MAN U IDIOTS SOD OFF YOU ARE DREAMING IF QUARESMA WILL JOIN YOU GUYS HAVE MORE CHANCE OF SIGNING JHONATHEN GREENING THAN HIM. COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
chelsea should get anelka around 12 mil. not more than 14 mil. for tireles striker
who agree with me. jose is the best seller compare to grant
Pirate u got to be kidding, man u winning all?haha..dream on.Mr Pink is another joker, QUARESMA going to man u? He’s better off going to clubs like derby.ahha. And I dont think man u will win any titles this year..they are too high profile with rape cases engulfing them.haha
Oh yeah, mr pink..i dont think man u deserve berbatov..They deserve ppl like chadwick(loser face) and taibi(world best keeper).lol
CUM ON YOU REDS ..
man unitede are shitt
TORRES IS AMAZING
Saw the headlines not, “Rafa want’s to stick with LFC”… and he mention too that he is not planning to manage Real Madrid or AC…hahaha joke of 2008, come laaa with LFC oso he can’t manage to win the EPL title..wat makes him think he can win a La Liga or Serie A title…. Stop dreaming Rafa….. Try to manage LFC 1st…laaaa…With LUTON oso able to draw oni….. Give some face for the LFC fans laaa
Always walking alone after every game…..lol
By the way Liverpool are not dreamers and have a very good team and manager. By the way alonso is worth around 20 mil. I don’t see why man u fans think there team is so good though because they don’t win too much and there saying we are rubbish and they win about the same so basicaly they are calling them self rubbish as well. Thanx for reading.
Chelsea should buy a new right back and a few SMF I think they should get : Sergio Ramos, and maby messi … well romans a billionair!
yo LFC fan 2000…..
u know y manu fans think their team is great….its coz manu is just 2 points behind the leaders n creamin a downtrodden LCF like hell…
chelsea out : Michael Ballack (free)- for Kaka (8.5 m)
Carlo Cudicini (160,000)
Andriy Shevchenko (31m)
chelsea in : Sergio Ramos (27m)
Carlos Kameni(??)
play Kalou more he will be wicked!
Chelsea if they keep playing well with loads of injuries think what they will be like without so many crucial injuries they will do very well in the UCL and evn win the prem and definatly win carling cup
I’m chelsea fan.r u kidding {@~~!CFC!~~@} ballack for kaka(8.5mil) and carlo cudicini for 160 000. u know why cudicini still at chelsea or not, motherf***er lol?
cudicini
wage-40,000/week
value-6.5mil.
Man Utd 51
Arsenal 51
Chelsea 47
Liverpool 39
Everton 39
^Devils 4ever^
look at the point gap my fren, tis the margin between a good team and a rubbish team…lol
“May be the US govt is financing Liverpool… no more Liverpool FC ..change it to Liverpool US..hahaha
U can change ur jersey sponser from carlsberg to NASA”
Pirate you do realise United are american owned dont u
C’MON PIRATE, MAN U TOP IL EPL CAUSE NO ONE OF THEIR PLAYER INVOLVES IN AFRICAN CUP YOU SHOULD LOOK TO ARSENAL OR CHELSEA MAN
PLAYER THAT INVOLVES WITH AFRICAN CUP
CHELSEA
1.ESSIAN
2.DROGBA
3.KALOU
4.OBI MIKEL
ARSENAL
1.ALEXANDER SONG
2.EBOE
3.TOURE
4.SAGNA
MAN U(LOSER)
NONE
HUA HA HA HA HA
so man u not having a major disadvantage makes them losers how?
I predict Berbatov will leave Tottenham 2 1 of the top 4 english teams or Barcelona or Madrid, Ballack and sheva will leave chelsea and maybe drogba, and Liverpool will most likely sell Harry Kewell,
P.S. the spec1al fan, u r a dumbass thinking ” Ballack 4 Kaka (8.5mil)
Ive seen all those Man U fans saying they whant to see Quaresma in their team but if you ever watch a Man U game C.Ronaldo tries to be the show over and over does those step overs great player! but a bit selfish at times anyways Quaresma is exactly the same tries to be the show and if Uve ever watched a Portugal match where C.Ronaldo and Quaresma are both playing one of the players always ends up having a bad game or gets subed out and why? because they are both the same. Rite now Man U has more then enough so I im pretty shure Quaresma wont be part of the Man U squad anytime soon. And for the special1 fan Sagna is French U dick not African
the tranfers r not clearly known cause every person is talking about the tranfer goodnees of his club thankx
nice transfere,i hope it keeps getting better for chealsea.
Top four come the end of the season……….
Man Utd
Arsenal
Chelsea
Everton
Champ League……
Man Utd
FA Cup………..
Arsenal
League Cup…….
Chelsea
UEFA Cup……
Bayern Munich
Get your money on you heard it here first
Man Utd dont really need 2sign more players, theyve got plenty of good player in the squad. With scholes n park bk now they should be okay. My only concern is up front, they have no striker to come in if eitha tevez or rooney get injured. Saha is injured 24/7 n really is a waste of money. Hes a really gd player wen fit, but the trouble is he is neva fit!! I also think that it is the last weve seen of garry neville.
as for the african cup thinggy..
i dont think its affecting chelsea at all! they are still winning all their games, even with lampard n terry out alex has been solid at the bk and its brought the best out of ballack.
I think arsenal are about to go in to a rough patch, espeshialy since gettin thrashed in the carling cup semi-final against spurs.
Liverpool (or draw f.c.) are doing awfull and they havent got enuff gd decent quality players. Voronin and kuyt are seriously rubbish, and i think theyve got rid of that sisoko who was gd until he had that eye thing. I think liverpool will get the 5 spot wiv everton beating them, or maybe city mite give them a run for their money.. its to early to tel. As for the winner of the premier league.. that is also to early to tel with arsenal n united both joint top n chelsea on form wiv 4 points behind.. this one is goin down to the wire my friends..
ALAIN TEO-
im sorry mate u have the most narrow minded opinions in the world. Your opinion about arsenal winnind is obvisouly fine but the reason is stupid, every single team is hungry to win the title, but the worst, man utd because there inconsistent!!!!!! we have the second best record in the league after 6 games (5 wins 1 defeat) the only team better is chelsea (9 straight wins) and that’s the team that you say will never win the title again, how can u possibly say that, thinking its true… are u god!?!
to special1 fan : i think you got your fact wrong.sagna is not an African player fyi

and sachin ur on drugs if u think thata gonna happen keep dreaming hes the second most ova rated player in the world behind rooney
conkaboy-
are u saying ronaldo is the most overrated player in the world. dont be an idiot, ur obviously not a man utd fan or a fan of anyone better than who you support.
ronaldo’s credentials speak for themself 27 goals in 28 for a winger yeh… overrated
rooney is naturally good, he is a complete player although a bit of form lately, will always be a world class player.
who do u support so i can pathetically nit pick at your players.
