Krasic is a fine player who was mismanaged at Juve, suggesting he has no "football brain" is ludicrous.

He'd be a fine acquisition for them, better than playing for the inbreds at Norwich.

What he said is absolutely right.He has pace and dribbling abilities but appeared as a headless chicken most of the times.He was very good in his first few months of Serie A but later he was found out by Serie A defenders and gradually his performances declined.
I wouldnt say he was mismanaged.He just dint fit Conte's style of football.He'd suit a counter-attacking system more than a possession based system.

People actually questioning whether Nash to Inter is legit Laughing

Of course not, he did have a tryout/football session with the team a day or so ago though Proud

Cambiasso was impressed.

Krasic has literally has no footballing brain at all judging by his time with Juve, If he couldnt run past a defender he would not know what to do and either a) lose the ball 99% of the time or b) a short backpass to a team mate.

Exactly as Surag said, he'd fit perfectly in a counter attacking team where he can run into space and counter on the break.

NBA ace set to rescind Lakers contract in order to join Inter on a 6 month deal

In one of arguably most bizarre transfers ever,39 year old NBA star Steve Nash could be on his way to starting a football career with top Serie A side Inter Milan.After a 3 day trial with the club(which was originally a strategic media event planned by Inter general manager Marco Fassone in order to approach a wider audience and expand the clubs brand) the staff were left impressed,including newly appointed Inter supremo Walter Mazzari.

Reports suggest Nash is willing to take a massive pay cut in order to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming a soccer player and his wages are expected somewhere in the range between 1 and 1.5 million euros after tax,a price Inter are more than willing to pay as financial gains from jersey sales and popularity rise in US and Canada will not only compensate for his salary but also make the investment multiply several times.

Although Nash prefers a more offensive playmaking role,Inter boss Walter Mazzari plans to give him a role similar to one that Andrea Pirlo occupies at rival team Juventus.Nash is expected to wear number 21,as his current Lakers number 10 jersey is occupied by wonderkid Mate Kovacic.10 is the number formerly worn by Zinedine Zidane,his favorite footballer and also the reason he chose to wear number 10 after joining L.A.

Arsenal are in for Mathias Ginter and Serdar Tasci.

Please be true. Ginter would be fantastic. Great talent. Tasci will be a solid back up as well if not a starter if he regains his form.

ESPN:

Manchester United hope a third bid amounting to around £40 million will finally be enough to swing the transfer of Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona, and break the Catalan club's public resistance to a sale.

United sources have told ESPN that manager David Moyes had been considering his next move - including weighing up the possibility of moving on to one of three alternative options, one of whom is Real Madrid's Luka Modric - and decided to continue the pursuit of Fabregas.

United also retain an interest in Everton's Marouane Fellaini but it is understood to be seen as separate to the pursuit of an all-round attacking midfielder of Fabregas' ilk.

Man Yoo should go 4-2-2-2 IMO if they get Cesc

Defense
Carrick Cleverly
Cesc Kagawa

Yanited's width came from Rafael and Evra last season so i don't see what would be so different here.

The Man Yoo with wingers thing is rubbish, all their wingers are shit lol.

They played a lot with 3 strikers last season and sometimes with Kagawa and Welbeck instead of natural width.

There is confusion over the future of Atletico Mineiro star Bernard as his father claims Porto is the option of choice but the player's club insists Shakhtar Donetsk is the side that have come up with the money required.

Atletico Mineiro's Bernard would like to move to Porto, according to the player's father.

The Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk target had been linked with a host of clubs around Europe but Delio Duarte says that it is his son's wish to play for Porto.

Speaking to MaisFutebol, Duarte said: "Shakhtar was not an option for us in any moment. Bernard doesn't want them. It's Atletico Mineiro that are forcing it. Things have to be done this week.

"If Porto really want him, as it seems, then the club's president should contact Atletico Mineiro directly. Maybe this way it would make things easier and Bernard's intention would become true.

"Bernard is not a doll, he gave Atletico a lot, he wants to join Porto, they should try and reach an agreement."

The 20-year-old's club appears to have accepted that the Brazil international will move on sooner rather than later and that it is Shakhtar who they have accepted a bid from and not Porto.

Speaking to UOL, Atletico Mineiro president Alexandre Kalil said: "Things are very advanced. The team is Shakhtar. They offered the value we want. If Bernard wants, he will go.

"If he does not want to go to Ukraine, that's no problem. It's in his hands. I have talked with him. It's a private matter. If he does not want to go, we will not force him."

The player himself though remains determined to make the move that is best suited to him.

Speaking to Lancenet, Bernard said: "I will leave when it's the right time. I have no hurry. A lot can happen and I need to remain patient and make the best choice."

Sky Sports understands that Fulham are now the front-runners in the race to sign Aston Villa striker Darren Bent. But there is competition for Bent's signature, with Newcastle also serious in their interest.

Newcastle's interest in him stems from last season and Bent is reported to be linking up with director of football Joe Kinnear for talks later this week.
