Vaart isn't in the starting team(can't play dmf and not at the wing either, & Sneijder > vdV

Yeah, but van der Vaart < Afellay

if Bruma has a good season @ HSV I hope he knocks Mathijsen out

Bruma probably won't even be in the starting 11. Aparantly they're planning with Westermann and Mancienne.

van Bommel not sure since he's getting aged ^^

He's the team captain and he plays at AC Milan. 'Nuff said.

if they don't play in center Afellay is way better ^^ seen him play on the South America trip?

either way, Vaart won't be in starting 11.. he never is, he wasn't at the WC and he won't be in Poland/Ukrain, since Ibi > Vaart at his position atm, and Kuyt is above Vaart too in NL team

Bommel will probably still play, if he doesn't Strootman will probably take his place, if he does then he'll be replaced after 2012, hopefully by Strootman since he's awesome.. in January he transferred from 2nd division to #10 in 1st div, played awesome, went to South America and was 1 of the best vs Brazil & Uruguay.. he's with 1 of the dutch 'top' teams now

as for Bruma; tbh, he shouldn't have left to Chelsea at all.. had he stayed at Feyenoord 3 years ago, he would've played weekly for 1-2 years already, at a decent level and maybe then he would've gone abroad since the Dutch competition is a training 1 more or less

also; Coentrao already had his medical @ Real Madrid, transfer may be rounded off today...

€25m + Drenthe or Garay.. id go for Drenthe

Neither player will be in the deal now, It's 30 million euros instead.

Benfica cashing once again..

goalkeepers Italy,

Muslera from Lazio to Galatasaray, for €x(how much is it?) + Lorik Cana..
Marchetti from Cagliari -> Lazio

[Ridley]

Muslera from Lazio to Galatasaray

Why would anyone go from Lazio to Galatasaray, I just don't understand <.<

[Foxy]

me neither.. Turk football in a scandal atm, Fenerbace bought a few games and paid opponents of Trabzonspor to 'motivate' them

and Galatasaray ended not even top 5.. oh well, money maybe?

[Pricey]

Turkish teams have the money. Teams in Turkey are willing to give didier drogba £5million a year.

Also Dale Jennings looks to have moved to Bayern Munich for £1.7 million it seems. £800k with the rest in appearences.

Kiko Femenia is now officially at Barça, playing in Barça B next year.

holding the bench warm?

Preparing their awesome future ( ) and playing to replace Xavi and Puyol, both getting old.

[Foxy]

Liverpool signed Charlie Adams from Blackpool, Man City got Savic from Partizan Belgrado

mm.. no more Fabregas & Thiago Silva?

[War]

mm.. no more Fabregas & Thiago Silva?

Fabregas, still there. Thiago Silva was never a serious rumor.

[Foxy]

why do they want Fabregas so badly..? They can spend the €40m better since they got dos Santos, Thiago, Mascherano, Afellay, Xavi & Iniesta who can play midfield..

oh & Busquets + Keita

[War]

Dos Santos is too young and not sure if he'll stay, if he stays he'll play in Barça B anyway.
Affelay won't play midfield.
Mascherano was more used to play in defense than in midfield, Busquets is actually the best player Barça can have in his spot. Keita is not really good enough for "big" matches, Thiago neither.
Xavi won't play 60 matches in the year if Cesc comes.
