Re: The Transfer Thread

update on the Buddle situation, per Alexi Lalas, Buddle on his way to Germany to sign his deal. Not sure with who. I won't believe it until it's official. Especially coming from Lalas.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Ronaldinho looks to be bound to a Brazilian club. Disappointing, was hoping to see him end up somewhere in the Premier League.

Also not sure why the Spurs want to get Beckham so badly.

Good thing Ronaldinho went back to Brazil. He would have got absolutely worked in EPL. He couldn't even cut it in Italy.

Lalas isn't the only one reporting it:

(Not sure why you wouldn't believe Lalas, anyway. Sure, he may be eccentric, but he's not known for making stories up/being a liar)

Re: The Transfer Thread

UPDATE: @SoccerByIves Buddle is signing with German club FC Ingolstadt. LA Galaxy had better find a forward fast.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Didn't the Galaxy already get Juan Pablo Angel? I don't see this as bad as some people are making it out to be.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Looks like Kenny Miller is going to Fiorentina to replace Adrian Mutu, as per various reports out there.

He has yet to sign. Allegedly, he rejected the last offer. Buddle leaving is only going to put more pressure on LA to sign him, possibly at an inflated price.

Besides JPA, there's really no credible forward on the Galaxy on the roster without Buddle, unless you count Donovan. To make things worse, in the past six months, LA's practically given away two forwards for nothing (Tristan Bowen & Alan Gordon), so they have sorta shot themselves in the foot on the depth front.

Perhaps the Galaxy can find some reinforcements, but that's not easy with their budgetary constraints or the skewed MLS schedule. Allegedly, they made advances to Luca Toni, but that obviously didn't happen.

totally right. LA/AEG has created a mess now by putting all their chips in the Ronaldinho bag and having that blow up in our face. If JPA signs and we have him and Donovan up top, I fear it's not enough. Beckham cannot run the midfield on his own. Juninho better step up and especially Michael Stephens.

At least Buddle is getting an Audi of his choice as part of the deal (rumor)

No Beckham loan deal due to "insurance issues".

Ah well...Wayne Bridge to West Ham on load.

That kinda sucks.

Must get Makoun, though.

West Ham are probably the only club stupid enough to take on his wages. 90 grand a week or something absurd.
