watching revista de la liga the other week was interested to hear spanish reporter talking about giovanni, seems that barca know he is gonna be a cracking wee player, but are not convinced he will be the superstar that most folk seem to think he will be. seems they are convinced Bojan will be a much bigger player along with messi and giovanni could end up another portillo

Barca have been shiting too many talents these years. . . Along with their current stars and form, i see them in a sort of golden age and will be bringing in truck loads of silverware and some mad cheese if they off load some players. . .

Villa responsed quckly.

Villa: Money Is Not My Priority

David Villa has reiterated that he does not want to leave Valencia because he is ont motivated by money as Real Madrid were again linked with a move for his services.

The Spanish press reported that Los Merengues are considering a bid next summer, but Villa revealed that he has known about several enticing offers and turned a blind eye to them before.

"I am not thinking about going anywhere else," he said.

"Every year I lose money because I know that there are clubs wanting me that would pay me more, but that does not interest me as money is not my priority.

"Winning titles with Valencia and playing at my best is my priority and also enjoying being with my team-mates, which I do here."

Villa also believes that a strong performance against Real Madrid in ten days will see Valencia win over their demanding fans who have jeered the team in recent home games.

Despite the pressure on the side, Villa relishes playing at home and thinks that the criticism does not affect coach Quique Sánchez Flores, despite the crowd calling for him to go.

"The game against Madrid is the perfect occasion to win back the fans in Mestalla," he continued.

"We always want to play at home in Mestalla because we always win more games there than we do away.

"The coach has his way of doing things and we support him, but I think any coach would prefer that the whistles be aimed at himself before his team.

"It is great that we are playing in three major competitions, but I am not satisfied because Valencia has one of the four best squads in the league."

Za tolike pare ima Valencia sama da ga spakuje za Madrid. :D
Jebo me pas. :D Al mozda su to i suplje price, ne daju se vise tako velke pare za jednog igraca.

Villa said:

Atta boy Villa. Screw Real.

Let's continue in English. :p

What I wanted to say those mega-transfers are happening less frequently then they did 5,6 years ago. If you look at it Shevchenko was the only mega-deal that happened in the last 2 years, whereas around the year 2000 a whole bunch of those mega-deals happened; from Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo to Vieri, Buffon, Crespo, Veron, etc. All of them for around 50mil €.

Players cost more on paper nowadays but less and less clubs are willing to pay those huge amounts of money for star players than they did before.

Vlatko,you are right at some point.Yes last mega deals happened few years ago but it will begin sooner or later but i think it will start at the end of the season.Ronaldinho will go(Milan?) its gonna be like min 80 milion euros,Villa will leave(Real offered 60?)Inter is still chasing Messi dont know if thats gonna happen but it would be also like 70 milions.Fabregas?He`ll not stay in Arsenal for a long time i guess(but who knows),that transfer would be 50+ probably.Kids are expencive also now like Dos Santos,Bojan,...Jovietic(7 milion already?Who would say kids from Balkan nowadays are reaching that limit? :D )

but you have to consider what a mega deal means as well.A few years back a mega deal would be 30mil or 20mil that was paid for Pepe. But now the only mega deal we could think of is freaking 30mil pounds not euros for sheva.

not to forget deals for players like Robben and even Ribery. In the past those would be mega deals considering solely the money

I don't know, I don't think those transfers you listed are gonna happen that way, they're just speculation, and even if they do, I doubt those figures are gonna be that high. Perhaps a swap + cash deal here and there but not like before. We'll see, but you're right about the kids, they're really beginning to be expensive nowadays. :D

I'm really eager to see something of Jovetic, give me some links if you have.

Sheva's deal is the only "Zidanesque" deal that happened recently and it was around 45mil €. 20,30mil € is still a lot, always was, but it's not that record breaking figure.

Check out the top 10 list(according to wikipedia, so it may not be 100% accurate):



That's a lot of big cash-only tranfers that happened around the year 2000. After 2002 there's a big void till 2006.

Jebo te led, pa to je dijete, ko da ima 14 godina. :D

He seems really good, hard to tell from that little but I liked the first goal against Zrinjski, a really clinical finish. 17 years old...what the hell was I doing at that age, I don't even wanna remind myself, and look at him, already worth millions. :D

Pepe’s Porto Transfer Investigated

The Real Madrid centre-back could be in for some exasperating red tape as the move that took him from Marítimo to FC Porto is under investigation for suspicion of unlawful moves made to get him to the launchpad for his hugely lucrative move to the Spanish capital…

Pepe came from Marítimo to FC Porto in a transfer that stirred up interest at Porto’s DIAP with a thread from the investigation into the Apito Dourado (Golden Whistle: allegations that involve match-fixing through referee manipulation) that has caused consternation in Portugal.

The web of intrigue is related to a series of mutual favours between referee Paulo Paraty, Pinto de Costa (FC Porto), Valentim Loureiro (linked to Boavista and also the refereeing college) and Sousa Cintra (ex-President of Sporting Clube) as well as Leandro Massada (Centro de Medicina Desportiva do Porto).

The player – Brazilian born but naturalised Portuguese – may be called back to testify as to the ins and outs of the move that saw him rise to prominence after leaving Brazil and original club Corinthians de Alagoas. There is, however, no chance that Real Madrid will suffer any consequences apart from a potential leave of absence.
