My mate told me that and said it would be ã5million plus Reyes for Torres.

that would be a very big big deal but i doubt it...

[Turkish]

If that deal happens it will be the deal of the century.

[TF/S4DK]

Would be a deal straight out of "Hustle"Reyes is mad going Ath. Madrid tho, Torres is definately going this year and there going to be over swag, might not even be playing UEFA Cup football next year...

[MrJibbles]

Well our favourite friend Ribery could be heading to Bayern Munich. Reports are saying they've got a deal set at ã15million.If its true I find it funny because he wants Champions League football and Bayern are in the Uefa Cup.

[Buc Nasty]

^ nah, that aint true.read the article and it looked like a 7yr old wrote that sh*t. he's coming to the emirates

[Superstition]

Poom has gone to Watford. Thanks for the memories, Mart. Even though there really aren't any, and I don't think I can actually remember what you look like. But thanks and good luck son.

[TF/S4DK]

He said Germany didnt appeal to him, so I'm suprised. Fee kinda low too, 15m Euro's is a good deal.

[Turkish]

Ribery wont sign for Bayern when he knows teams like Arsenal and Real are after him.

[MrJibbles]

Lol at Barca they won't shut the f*ck up even when the man has said he is staying a billion times.

Arsenal are preparing a ã15 million bid for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Moutinho.The Mirror says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who insists he will only be making one or two "super-class" signings this summer, has had Sporting Lisbon's Moutinho watched on several occasions.The midfielder, 20, broke into the Sporting team as a 17-year-old and is now one of the cornerstones of the side. He was given his international debut for Portugal aged 18.

Plus Ribery will make his decsion within the next week on who he will join, get ready.

Poom has gone to Watford. Thanks for the memories, Mart. Even though there really aren't any, and I don't think I can actually remember what you look like. But thanks and good luck son.

[M.Dot]

Poom's only contribution I remember was nearly gifting Pompey a win.

[MrJibbles]

Few rumors.

Inter Milan have offered troubled striker Adriano in a swap for Arsenal captain Thierry Henry.Controcampo says negotiations between the clubs have been ongoing for some weeks and will now be stepped up after the Italian season ended yesterday.Inter president Massimo Moratti hinted at the capture of Henry last night: "I can say we will be making a major signing this summer which will excite the Inter fans."Moratti is a big fan of Henry, while the Frenchman has this season spoken of his great respect for the Inter supremo.

Olympique Marseille president Pape Diouf admits wing ace Franck Ribery is leaving this summer."Ribery will leave for a significant fee that is good for l'OM," said Diouf. "But that doesn't mean we want him to leave."Arsenal are favourites for the France international, who has declared a desire to join Arsene Wenger and his French colony at Emirates stadium.Manchester United are also keen, though Sporting Lisbon's Nani remains their top wing target.

Arsenal have joined the interest in West Ham midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker.The Daily Mail says Tottenham and Arsenal are ready to renew North London hostilities over the signing of Reo-Coker.The England Under-21 international has slapped in a transfer request at Upton Park and will be allowed to leave if any club matches the Hammers' ã8million valuation on him.

Also a quote from Liam Brady "I think he will add a little more steel to the squad. Arsenal probably need two or three new players and with the club not in a position to throw money around you might see Wenger targetting a couple of pros whoââ¬â¢ve already had the experience of winning trophies."

[Dizzle]

Hmmm nothing too belivable there apart from the Ribery one.

[Superstition]

One upside to the rumour of us getting Reo-Coker: if we do, at least we won't be playing endless passing moves in the midfield any more. in no way to I support this theoretical transaction or think it's a good idea

[Guest Ryan]

Fabregas > Reo-CokerGilberto > Reo-CokerDiaby > Reo-CokerDenilson > Reo-CokerProbably even...Song > Reo-Coker.

[qks]

lol song is he still coming back?beg we sell him

[Lenny Jr.]

Song suprised me at charlton when i saw him playlooked decent

[MrJibbles]

Barcelona have offered Samuel Eto'o to Arsenal as a makeweight for Thierry Henry, according to reports in Spain.Spanish daily Marca claims Barca are ready to part with the Cameroonian striker plus â¬25million (£17million) in order to bring Henry to Camp Nou.The report says negotiations between Barca sport director Txiki Beguiristain and his Arsenal counterparts are already well advanced.It also says the deal has met with approval from Arsene Wenger and the two players.Eto'o's future has been the subject of speculation for some time and he has expressed a liking for the English game.Henry has continued to be linked with Barca following Arsenal's disappointing season, even though he signed a long-term deal with The Gunners last summer.Wenger guaranteed that his talismanic captain would not be sold earlier this month, while Henry has assured fans previously that his future remains in London.Barcelona have yet to confirm whether there is any substance in the report, while Eto'o is currently away on international duty with Cameroon and has not commented.

So a story I spoke on a couple weeks ago has now come up.

[Guest Ryan]

Dunno about this although Eto'o would be great, Henry has been great for so many seasons and still managed to score quite a few goals this season even at 50% fitness.
