The Transfer Thread

Re: The Transfer Thread

I personally think Zlatan will exel in La Liga. He is probably the most technical striker in the World. Which will fit in quite well playing with the most technically sound team in the World.

I agree though about Sam. I think he will quite hindered at Inter. I just don't think he gets the service he needs in order to succeed.

I agree....I think Zlatan will fit perfectly to Barcas style of play...also in my opinion he is the better player.

Concerning Real...yes, they have, yet again, bought a gigantic offense....but also, again, it has to be shown if their deffense is solid enough...as Kaka and Ronaldo are not that much known for their defence effort.

And time will show, if Real can work as a team. A great plus about Barca last year.

Btw, I think the Keirison deal is worth more then the E'to/Zlatan sawp....this guy is simply amazing and at a team like Barca (even at the second suite...with talents like Bojan on his side) we will hear a lot of him.

Keirrison goes to Benfica.

Heinze goes to Olympique Marseille.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Heinze goes to Olympique Marseille.

I figured since he hasn't been featuring in any preseason matches whatsoever that he would be gone sooner rather than later.

I expect the same thinking should be applied to Huntelaar, Van Der Vart and possibly RVN as well. As they've yet to play this preseason.

I expect all three to be plying their trade in the Bundesliga by the end of August. At least I hope they are anyways... no sense rotting on the bench in Madrid.

Seems that van Nistlerooy would thrive with Ronaldo and Kaka around to create pressure and service...

Who will be starting up front for Madrid in his stead? Are they secure going forward with Higuain and Benzema?

I believe Pellegrini stated he envisions Ronaldo as a free-roaming striker playing off of Benzema or Higuain in his 4-2-2-2 system, with Raul around to play a secondary role as well.

Thats correct.

But now that they landed Benzema and didn't land Ribery or Silva. That he will wanna play him in the midfield.

Unfortunately Raul will play many matches.
Raul is "The Lord of the Locker Room"


Raul please, retire now !!!

So, so glad that Villa got Delph. Highly sought after youngster who is going to a club where youngsters grow up very well.

I'm excited.
