  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Wayne Rooney Leaving Manchester United

    It wasn’t the best of Saturdays for Wayne Rooney, who got the combo of starting on the bench, only to be called on by Alex Ferguson in the 68th minute and leave the match before Manchester United completed their 3-2 win over Fulham due to an injury. But it hasn’t been the best of summers for the England international altogether.

  • German Bundesliga 2012-2013 Summer Signings

    The financial situation in Germany is pretty good, meaning that every team in the Bundesliga spent quite a few Euros on bringing in new talent, although mostly from within Germany. Most notably, obviously, were Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, probably up for another two horse title race in the 2012-2013 season.

  • Italian Serie A 2012-2013 Summer Signings

    Just like in most of Europe, the recession and the new FIFA financial fair play regulations beginning in 2013 have really cut expenditures to a minimum. Milan, Inter and Lazio hardly spent a Euro on new transfers, with only the champions Juventus making a big splash in the transfer market in order to keep their Serie A title in 2012-2013 as well.

  • Transfer Rumos 2012 – Luka Modric Finally a Real Madrid Player

    Maybe using Chelsea’s name helped Daniel Levy and Tottenham finally convince Real Madrid to go ahead and not give up on the deal to sign Luka Modric for £33 million (including add-on fees), but the important thing is that this transfer saga is nearly over, with the Croatian flying to Spain in order to complete the move in the next 48 hours.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Manchester City Chasing David Luiz

    It’s no secret that Manchester City aren’t done with their summer shopping list, especially at centre back. Their latest target? Chelsea’s David Luiz, with a bid to sign the Brazilian for £30 million already being rejected by his club, which doesn’t mean Roberto Mancini is going to stop trying.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Liverpool Aiming for Daniel Sturridge

    No one likes being pushed down the pecking order, and Daniel Sturridge is no different, finding himself deep on the Chelsea bench, giving Liverpool an opening to sign a player Brendan Rodgers has wanted all summer, waiting for an opportunity to open up.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Arsenal Chasing Jesus Navas

    After the opening day 0-0 draw, Arsene Wenger feels it might be time to make one final push in the transfer market, this time aiming his sights and club’s cash at Jesus Navas of Sevilla, not exactly known for being excited about travelling and being too far from his home and family in Seville.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Nani Leaving Manchester United

    With plenty of signings, there are also, eventually, going to be plenty of players leaving Manchester United. One of the bigger names that might find themselves leaving the club, although not immediately, is Nani, whose disappointing performances on the pitch and behavior off of it isn’t winning him any fans at Old Trafford.

  • Transfer Rumors 2012 – Manchester United Want Hector Herrera

    Alex Ferguson and Manchester United didn’t have the best of starts to their 2012-2013 Premier League season, which means that there’s still time and room for one more signing before the end of the transfer window, which just might be Hector Herrera, a Mexican midfielder from Pachuca.
