Actually Bayern don't have a proper Piggy-replacement, which Rode could be within a year if he continues his development (though I would never move to Bayern if I wasn't already the finished article) and Dortmund... Well they really don't need him. They got Sahin and Gündogan as creative DMs and Bender and Kehl as destructive ones.

But who knows.
He'd be nice to have for any team, unless it's all hot air and born from great team chemistry.

Yeah... he's at Auxerre and played at all the France NT youth level. Even has a couple of callups for France U23. He's freakin tall for a striker lol (1,91m). Same mold as Niang.

An agent friend of mine... he would know. He's had a lot of clients at PSG over the years and is close to the club.

According to the trustful journalist Raphael Honigsteiner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raphael_Honigstein) Edin Dzeko to Dortmund is almost a done deal.

forgot to tweet some gossip from Manchester: Edin Dzeko to Borussia Dortmund is "all but done", I was told

Dortmund officials negotiated with Man City at QPR game in London

one word of caution: Dzeko to Bayern was also almost done last year, before too many agents asked for too much commission

Dortmund CEO Watzke told sid that Dzeko story was "total nonsense". (Same words used by Klopp re Sahin deal in early Jan)

Well. If Honigstein says it, there might even be something to it. Would be a brilliant move for Dortmund.
Dzeko has all of Lewandowskis technique and none of his wastefulness.

by urbaNRoots Thu Mar 07, 2013 10:05 pm

Watzke denied all the talk, but you still never know. He denied Sahin coming back too Laughing

Don't agree at least from what i have seen in England, Lewa is far superior as a link up creative man but Dzeko destroys him at finishing.

Mind you i find some technical players come to England and get worse on a technical level and when they leave they magically get better again lol.

Not sure why that is, Balotelli is a fine example.

The English game sucks the technique out of the players?

Gazzetta Dello Sport reports Ibra is growing tired of PSG apparently.lol

Dont know how much truth there is in this.

by Motogp69 Fri Mar 08, 2013 2:27 am

How about we let Osvaldo go to Juve, and Ibra comes to Roma to ply the football sex? Admittedly, I want him to play for all my teams.

http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Liverpool-sur-sakho-et-gameiro/355349

According to L'Equipe's own sources, Liverpool are targeting Gameiro and Sakho of PSG. That in itself is not big new. Bigger news is that both players are unhappy at PSG and are looking to leave. If PSG lose Sakho, Carlo should leave as well.... inexcusable.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Mar 08, 2013 12:47 pm

Surely more than one team are after Sakho Sports?

He's looked quality when ever i have seen him this season and i'd be surprised if just Liverpool were interested.

Gamiero is a different story mind, hasn't shown his Lorient level much at all since joining PSG.

Ibrahimovic considers Juventus switch

Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is considering a return to Serie A with Juventus, should the Ligue 1 club sign both Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.

Source: La Gazzetta dello Sport

LOL.

Also Chelsea interested in signing Niang apparently but he wants Milan stay anyway.

by sportsczy Fri Mar 08, 2013 1:03 pm

PSG is not going after Rooney lol. That story came out of the Uk and was never confirmed by any French media independently... CR7 is another story. If Ibra wants to leave if CR7 comes, then he can leave no problem. Won't be cheap though and I'm sure a couple of EPL clubs will jump in the fray.

by S Fri Mar 08, 2013 1:05 pm

Yeah i think we have almost no chance to sign him.I wonder whats prompted all these rumors of a move away from PSG all of a sudden ? I thought he was quite happy in Paris.

He is. It's all coming from abroad lol. Nothing in French media other than quoting foreign media.

I don't think CR7 is going anywhere either so this is pretty much a dead issue. PSG are focused on both fullback positions and adding a CM. The rest will depend on who leaves.... will replace them.

Newcastle and Tottenham are chasing Zenit St Petersburg defender Tomas Hubocan, according to the player's agent.

Hubocan is thought to have caught the eye of the Premier League clubs along with Serie A sides Inter Milan and Napoli.

The 27-year-old has impressed for Zenit in this season's Europa League and he helped the Russian outfit overcome Liverpool last month.

Hubocan's agent, Michal Holescak, claims Tottenham and Newcastle have expressed an interest in the centre-back, but that the player is happy at Zenit.

"Newcastle and Tottenham are interested in him, but we had contacts with Inter Milan and Napoli too," Holescak told tuttomercatoweb.com.

"Tomas is a top defender, a player for big European teams. However he is happy in (Luciano) Spalletti's team: he's focused on the Russian Premier League and on the Europe League."

Never heard of him Laughing

Chelsea linked with £35m bid for Dortmund star Marco Reus

by Mr Nick09 Fri Mar 08, 2013 2:26 pm

I think it's Rooney's agent putting it out there. Remember when he wanted to renegotiate his contract? same things popped up about Rooney going to Spain. My guess, they are doing the same thing because they know that climate at united isnt that good. Rooney to Madrid to replace Benguain? hmm

Glad to see that Sports has joined me on that Carlo out of PSG, as always, people join my cause sooner or later Laughing

RMC also reporting that the Qatari might part ways with Leonardo at the end of the season. source says that they consider that his work launching the PSG project is done, and he isnt indispensable anymore. He has had a couple of media outings that have upset the Qataris in the past couple of weeks, and they arent helping his cause. While Carlo's fate is not decided, source says that the number 1 target to take over the club is Arsene Wenger, in a capacity of super manager.

No mention of Mourinho...

He was the guy Suarez stepped on. He's average tbh. Although he played out position at left back for most of the two legs. When he did play in at CB, Neto comfortably outperformed him. And mind you Neto was doing his best impression of Titus Bramble.
