Welcome back! Check out our new videos and news updates!
Just 8 more days for Premier league kick off and the clubs are trying to form the team for the season. Long awaited Ronaldo saga has come to an end. Yes. Ronaldo is staying at United. Same might be the case with Lampard and Robinho. Scolari has sent out a strong statement saying that money will not be an important part of his plans, rather his squad would be. In the past years foreign clubs have increased the evaluation of players tremendously trying to exploit the buying power of business magnets owning clubs. Chelsea, in Scolari, have got a good replacement for Mourinho.
Sunderland have captured 3 players from Tottenham in what has been a ‘ok’ transfer activity. Roy Keane is expected to bring the French striker Saha from United. Portsmouth seem to have a good front line in Defoe and Peter Crouch. Tottenham and Arsenal are still expecting to sign the Russian playmaker Arshavin. Elsewhere, it has been a quiet transfer activity.

Manchester United assistant manager Carlos Queiroz took over as Portugal national team coach. Earlier in his career he had coached the U-21 Portugal national side and is now appointed as the replacement to Scolari who has joined Chelsea.
For Queiroz, the immediate target would be the FIFA world Cup 2010. What impact would this have on Ronaldo’s transfer saga? Ronaldo meanwhile will be sidelined for the next 3 months due to injury.
Peter Crouch sealed a move to Portsmouth joining Harry Redknapp for the third time in his career. Crouch will pair up with Defoe to form an all-England front line-up.
Top 5 predictions for this week
- Frank Lampard’s transfer to Inter Milan
- Ajax striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar’s move to Man Utd or Arsenal
- Robinho to Chelsea
- Arshavin going nowhere
- Ronaldinho to AC Milan

Image via WikipediaThe Peter Crouch transfer saga has finally come to close, with Portsmouth unveiling the player earlier today. Pompey had to cough up £11 million to persuade Liverpool to part company with the lanky England forward.
Some good news from the Emirates, as Arsenal have completed the signing of Olympique Marseille ace, Samir Nasri. The Frenchman is thought to have signed a four-year deal with the Gunners. The arrival of Nasri, who plays as a left midfielder is set to hasten Alexander Hleb’s departure.
Paul Ince has offered his former Liverpool teammate Robbie Fowler a shot at the big time at Blackburn Rovers. Fowler will leave Cardiff City to join Blackburn’s pre-season training.
Cristiano Ronaldo has done himself no favours with the Manchester United hierarchy by claiming that he supports FIFA President Sepp Blatter’s foolish remarks about how clubs are treating their players as slaves.
At Liverpool, Rafael Benitez is hot on the heels of Tottenham striker Robbie Keane. Spurs have reacted to the news by stepping up their pursuit of Espanyol striker Luis García.
Sporting Lisbon have claimed that they have received no offers for Manchester United and Arsenal target Miguel Veloso.
Of the clubs newly promoted to the Premier League, Hull City seem the most active, having now competed the signing of George Boateng from Middlesbrough.

Inter Milan have opened formal negotiations with Chelsea midfielder and Jose Mourinho’s faithful Frank Lampard. The club has sent a fax to Chelsea to begin the process of negotiation. Lampard is in his final year contract with the London club.
Meanwhile Inter’s rival club AC Milan have renewed their interest in premier league strikeforce Didier Drogba and Adebayor. Chelsea’s interest in Ronaldinho and Eto might make way for Drogba to move to Italy, where he might play against his former coach Jose Mourinho. Arsenal are tracking Newcastle forward Martins and Blackburn forward Roque Santa Cruz to replace Adebayor in case he moves.
Brazilian coach Dunga has said Ronaldinho might make a move to AC Milan rather than premier league clubs like Chelsea / Manchester city.
Pompeys look set to have settled a deal with Liverpool for Peter Crouch and are prepared to sell David Nugent, Sunderland might be interested in the striker.
Arsenal might be the landing place for Arshavin after Chelsea seemed to have ended their interest in the Russian midfielder. The arrival of Deco might have convinced Chelsea owner to end this pursuit.
