The dinosaur Michael Bullshit..sorry Ballack signed 1 year extension so he'll stay 1 more year. There is one Kippax guy who visits and posts in our threads and we have some banter there with him. We don't have geniune ITK's there but he says infact we DID bid for Kaka. It was an "unofficial' bid by Roman Abrahimovic himself talking with Berlusconi and Galliani. Roman made the offer after Kaka's dad(the greedy twat) wanted about 12% of the transfer fees to himself and 50-50 rights, also because Kaka was on international duty. So Perez raised his offer then again like a chess game, Roman raised his offer to 75m as quoted by the media. It's officially been denied by the club cause the club wants to keep it close and low key. It's also because Kenyon is not carrying out this deal, it's Roman and Frank Arnesen(chief of scout who will be made Director of Football next season, but not sure about that). It has calmed down a bit last 2 days but still looks like Mardid 70%-Chelsea30% and I still think he'll go to Madrid.
We've also bid 40m for Villa and again it's a tussle between Real and CFC. They made the first move with aroung 33-35m but CFC topped it with 40. Don't know where this will go but it's likely he wont come to us. These info are not genuine and like the ITK's here but it's straight forward. The guys is probably right cause he's got 90% of it right. He had said LAST YEAR that Ancelotti met twice with Roman, one in France and one in Switzerland. No one believed him until last week when ANcelotti came out and said he did meet Roman in his book. He also said Scolari was not Roman's choice few days before he was hired, which came out to be right. So he knows his stuff but doesn't give out too much like the itk's here.
TBH, i don't think we will get 3-4 "stats" maybe only one which Roman will splash the cash. hiddink has said we need depth and that is where we will be adding. We have a good enough first team to fight for the league and CL, just Scolari fucked us up. Im very excited about Carlotti. His targets are A.Young,Kaka,Ribery,Alonso(wont work out as him and Lampard won't go well lol) Pirlo(please no), Dzeko,Sessegnon,Benzema but we wont get all of those. I wouldn't want any big name players cause of Sheva and Ballack, I'd be happy with players like Dzeko,Aratunovic,Dzaogev(self proclaimed CFC fan and big fan of Lamps, his idol),Zhirkov,Turan,Hazard.
One thing is clear, it's going to be crazy cause you guys Madrid are going to splash a lot of cash and even Roman will for 1 player. Other than that our squad is good enough imo. We need wingers and striekers, our back line is tight.
Hope you can take the "rags" place sick n tired of them and even History FC but main concerns will be for Arseh*les. :)
