Would Plattini throw out a French club from the CL or any European competition? I very much doubt it

I think, or there was talk of a 25mill one being offered.

edit: having checked, i can only find talk of the offer of a massive new deal, but nothing about him signing it.

Manchester City’s David Silva: My home is at Eastlands
David Silva has revealed he is in discussions over a new contract at Manchester City amid reported interest from Real Madrid.
By TSR staff 9:40am UK, Friday 6 July 2012

The Spain playmaker, who has scored 13 goals in 37 appearances for Roberto Mancini’s men, has been linked with a move back to his native homeland in recent months, with the La Liga champions apparently leading the chase for his signature.

But the 26-year-old has moved to end talk of a move away from Eastlands by insists he is happy at the club and intends to sign a new deal.

“My home is at City and I am totally satisfied there. My head is not at Real Madrid but at Manchester City,” Silva told the Daily Star.

“I’m grateful for my experience at City and I have improved as a player, in every sense, since I joined them. I didn’t know if I was capable of playing like this when I left Valencia.

“I’m on holiday right now, but my agents are negotiating a new deal with City and I think it’s likely we close it in a very short time.”

what a cunt of a thing.

what a cunt of a thing.

Yep. Thing is, i can see clubs like LFC kicking up a fuss if the ffp is'nt being implemented correctly.

Not sure if it would have any effect, or what course of action if any would be open to clubs, if they felt the richer clubs were being given too much leeway to spend like those half cut seamen we hear of.

Will be lumping on PSG and Juventus to win their respective leagues

They say that money moves to money and in the world of football that sort of phrase often ends with two words: Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Once again Ibrahimovic is on the move, this time to Paris Saint-Germain, from AC Milan, whose president Silvio Berlusconi was quoted as saying: ‘Yes, I’ve sold Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to PSG.’
The deal for the pair is thought to be worth a combined £51.3million — £32m of that being for Ibrahimovic. If that is correct, it would make him the most expensive footballer in history.

Is that the way to Paris? Zlatan Ibrahimovic looks set for a move to France
Depending on which figures you trust, Ibrahimovic will have been transferred for between £130-£150m in his career once the move goes through.
*Ibrahimovic transfer fees
£5m: Malmo to Ajax, July 2001
£12m: Ajax to Juventus, July 2004
£20m: Juventus to Inter, Aug 2006
£56.5m: Inter to Barcelona, July 2009
£24m: Barcelona to AC Milan, June 2011
£32m: AC Milan to PSG, July 2012
(plus Thiago Silva)
TOTAL: £149.5m

Sky Sources: If Milan are unsuccessful in their bid for Tevez, they will try to sign Edin Dzeko

Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal for Emmanuel Adebayor, Sky Sports can confirm.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Newcastle close to signing Debuchy apparently with Simpson likely to move to Reading, move might be dependent on Simpson moving on first though.

Would be another fantastic signing for them, if Ba/Ciise carry on like last season we might struggle to finish above them again.

Mancs have bidd 33m for Lucas Moura apparently

I'll be ****ing gutted if he goes there. He's brilliant this lad. Hope Madrid don't cock this up, i thought he was nailed on for them.

[Shaggy]

I think it's all bull and PR - United cannot afford that sort of money.

unless they sell nani and a few others

Is there any way to find out the Adebayor transfer fee? Why aren't all fees undisclosed?
