Close Season Gossip & Rumour Thread

Agree with the last sentiment, I have always liked the full blooded commitment of Heinze, very hard to choose between him and Evra, apart from the number of free kicks he gives away. he can play central defence if pushed. It would be a shame if he left now, a few good years left in him yet and the competition between him and Evra would keep them both on their toes.

I'd rather have Heinze than Silvestre or O'Shea

Whoops.

A rather Messi goal.

I though Veron had retired.

Been reading this today

Now this sounds like a case of tapping someone up as i'm sure Arsenal never gave them permission to talk to Fabregas but I doubt anything will be done about it.

Just going back to the possible Tevez move to Utd for a moment....
As I understand it, West ham signed Tevez and Maschereno in the same deal via their so called agent...........so my question is, "How did Liverpool pull off the Maschereno deal without any hiccup" ?

It all seems a bit strange

It all seems a bit strange

The hiccup was that Liverpool offered them (MSI) a lot more money per season for him and under the terms of the third party agreement we had no power to stop him from moving, that is what has got us in all the trouble in the first place, tbh if I were you guy's I'd seriously consider who you are getting into bed with here, I wish we had last season, the whole thing has been a complete mess, compounded now by allegations of organised crime and money laundering levied against MSI, who have incidentally had their assets frozen, which presumably means Tevez and Macherano have an appointment at the cryogenics lab

Here is the most balanced, well researched report I have seen since the whole sorry saga started, kind of makes the likes of 'honest Dave Whealan' look like the ill informed morons we all suspected they were

Actually, Utd had something similar with Kanchelskis and his Russian mafia agents

Damn.....

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Gabriel Heinze could soon be heading for the Old Trafford exit door after indicating his desire to call time on his Reds' career.
The Argentine defender has been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Liverpool in recent weeks and the United boss revealed the defender is almost certain to leave.

There was me thinking my previous post was just speculation.

The other is Portsmouth little shock there really and apparently these raids are independent of the Stevens report.

Pity I'd have loved it if it'd been Sheff Utd

Yes, that would be quite amusing

Edit: So it is Portsmouth shame

Evra is a better player than Heinze, so not a big loss especially as he hasn't been the same player since his injury last year.

Best bit of business we have done all summer this - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...nd/6901589.stm

5.5 Million is a lot of money for a player of his ability especially as it looks like Heinze will only be going for about 1 million more who is a much better player.
