Essien's agent was quoted saying that essien was never really tempted by Real... dont know if it can happen but the best thing would be to trade with Kaka.

Canales is only getting loan right? I have high hopes for him ever since he joined Real Madrid.. just never really had an opportunity to shine

Loan or sold with buy back attached

Essien's agent is trying to get an extension with Chelsea because his transfer and wage demands are too high... even Madrid wouldn't pay that fee. So he needs to really kiss up to the Chelsea brass.

As far as Lass, same thing as is happening with benz... he might was well keep his bridges intact while he hasn't been sold and in case the transfer never happens. My money is that he moves though.

He did admit that that Essien was talking to Mourinho, and it really looks like the kind of thing mourinho loves to do, get one of his old key man back with him, specially when there is hardly an equivalent on the market.

I can imagine a deal being made here with Kaka no?

what kind of money is he earning with chelsea?

Chelsea is not interested in Kaka at our price unfortunately. We would almost have to accept a straight swap for Essien... don't think Flo would accept that kind of black eye on one of his prize transfers.

Flo is a moron quite franky, if you can get essien + 10M or less for Kaka you take it.

It's more than the players Nick... it's the politics at Madrid.

Isnt mou supposed to knock some sense into them. It's never too late to confess you made mistake and get something good out of it.

i would do that deal in a heart beat. I pack kaka's bags myself and run them on my back to london if he wants.

I think Kaka is the hold up. Chelsea wants a longer contract with less money and Kaka will not give up any of his salary. He'd rather take as much as he can and then go back to Brazil with a few years left in him.

Chavski are asking for 48 mil € for Essien.They can keep him for all I know
I only would go for him if we make a Kaka->Essien+cash exchange with seliing Lass afterwards. This way, the wage system will be restored and the balance in midfield constant.

The price quoted about essien in the press is untrue

see thats how you kill off rumours

by saying straight NO!!! without any quotes that can be twisted/turned

48m ? That's way too much.

I completely agree. Opinions are opinions, not fact.

Ozil to SAF: Nein! Not even room for negotiations

gtfo, ozil is at madrid foreverrrrrr

soon to be among the greats

Strongly linked with Real Madrid as a possible addition for next season, the end Luso Nani has wanted to deny this possibility by stating his desire to remain in the discipline of Manchester United.

Despite the interest of merengue set to close its incorporation and thus meet the demands of coach Jose Mourinho, Yann M'Vila not landed in the ranks of Real Madrid ... at least for now.

This is precisely what has been entrusted to state the director general of Rennes , Pierre Dreossi, in a statement issued daily Marca in which annealed that "M'Vila does not go, we agree with the guy sign a year and stay. If you will be next year, it will not. The player's head is here and he himself has said he wants to move. Madrid has not called us, but if I did not listen to their offer. "

Interestingly, Madrid is getting a very bad rep from Lass, quietly from Benz and certainly Blanc. All the young players are told to stay away because they will likely get little playing time. Makalele really dislikes mou and has gotten into Sakho's ear. M'Villa wants Man U.

Barca gets talked up a lot lol.

Juventus are having a meeting with Agueros agent.

Real Madrid to bid for Sanchez and Barcelona are out of the race for him.

All reported by AS.

I doubt we are after Sanchez, seems more like media talk. At this point I would say he is almost 100% City player.

I found this interesting concerning the Sanchez rumour:

"The price that is priced Chilean is 45 million, but Madrid is ready to reach that figure and is intended to include any player in the operation to lower that figure."

Candidates?

Sarabia? Pedro Leon?

Udinese normally go after younger players. I really can not see any of our players going the other way.

I found something funny:

Il Corriere dello Sport: Inter wants Ramos for Maicon

Googl Translate:
"According to "Il Corriere dello Sport ', Real Madrid continued to insist by Maicon, but Massimo Moratto refuses to let go of Brazil for less than 20 million euros. In this sense, the Madrid have proposed an exchange for Marcelo, to which Inter would have said that the operation will only be interested if she was involved Sergio Ramos.

Beds defender is a player to the taste of Moratti, which in any case, still gives a direct rollover. His first idea is still to get hard cash by Maicon - 'Il Corriere' talk of 20 to 22 million euros, but the possible inclusion of Ramos in the operation could make the president of the Inter reconsider the operation."

I guess that settles it... we're buying everyone with a pricetag of over 20 million lol.
