Udinese placed 4th and Lazio placed 5th, so Udinese goes to CL qualifiers and Lazio to Europa League

Udinese... they have like awsome scouting and buy-selling right? The Italian Porto or something

Not really. In Italy there is a huge fluctuation of young loan players. Just take a look at Inter, Milan, Roma and see how many players they loan out or got on loan. It's really crazy. With Inter it's like almost 20 players or something. Italy doesn't really have an order in their transfer market, so it's really confusing and fucked up.
It's one of the reasons Serie A and Italian football in general is falling fast

A few days old, but Michael Mancienne, young English Centreback has moved to Hamburg.

BERLIN — Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne, loaned out to Wolves for the past three seasons, has signed a four year deal with Bundesliga side Hamburg.
Hamburg's sporting director Frank Arnseon said: "I knew Michael from my time at Chelsea, I have followed his progress over the years and I know he has great potential."
Mancienne said: "Hamburg is a huge club with a fantastic tradition and supporters. It's a big challenge to be able to play for them."
The former England Under-21 international was first loaned out to Wolves in the 2008/09 season, helping them gain promotion from the Championship to the Premier League.
He rejoined the Midlands club for 2009/2010 and was used initially as a central defender and then in a holding midfield role, and returned there again last season.
The 23-year-old has penned a contract reported to be in the region of 3.5 million euros until June, 2015.

Reminds me of the story of Leighton Baines. Bayern wanted him this winter, was alraedy on even terms with Everton, but NOOOO. Dear Mr. Baines was too homesick and (I'm not making this up) had a problem with not being able to go over to his grandma's every weekend to have dinner with her.... -.-

Baines is now worth £25 million ... Bayern were unlucky not to get a deal in place for cheaper. He will probably go to Manchester City now.

It's a retro kit, designed to remind of the Euro 1972 win (look at the dates in the collar).
