According to the dailystar Barcelona youngster Dos Santos is on his way to Spurs.
SPURS have won the race to sign Barcelona wonderkid Giovani Dos Santos.
The youngster – who can play as a striker or attacking midfielder – will arrive in a £12.5m deal, sources in Spain confirmed last night.
Rubbish game. Second half was a bit better. Rooney still can’t control himself, I thought he was told to stop chasing the ball all over field.
Where was Ashton and what was Gerrard doing on the left.
The challenge is to get as far into this piece as possible without mentioning his name. It’s not easy: Portugal’s hopes of completing their European Championship odyssey (quarter-final in 1996, semi-final in 2000, final in 2004, winners in 2008) depend on something career-defining from the Portuguese player. If he is not the best player in the world then he is surely the best at these championships.
Turkey are one of the tournament’s most unbalanced teams. That’s not a reference to the last time they took on Switzerland, rather to the fact that they boast a plethora of flair midfielders yet are frequently undone by an inability to perform basic chores up front and, in particular, at the back.
In 1996 they rode intrepidly to the final; in 2000 they were fearfully unlucky to go out at the first stage in the definitive group of death; and in 2004 they were the most entertaining, and arguably the best, side in the tournament before being smothered by the Greek blanket in the semi-finals.
The trouble is that the key men from those recent tournaments are missing: Karel Poborsky and Pavel Nedved have retired from international football since the last World Cup, and the captain, Tomas Rosicky, is out with a hamstring injury
Looks like Man Utd’s threat to report Real Madrid to Fifa has done the job.
This is what Real president Ramon Calderon had to say:
“We haven’t done, nor will we do anything against the wishes of a club that we consider a friend like Manchester United,”
“Our relationship with Manchester is magnificent and we will not do anything that would violate the will of a team, just as we would not like that done to us.
“We know Manchester doesn’t want to sell and we have nothing to say. It’s a problem between the player and his team.”
ah, nothing like a bit of threatening between friends, eh
