True, but then the same could pretty much be said for La Liga and Serie A.

Indeed it could, and the dutch league. Might go some way to explain why people who bang in dozens of goals in those leagues often dont repeat it when they come here when the "lesser" teams put up such a fight.
 
Didnt see this posted

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has assured Atletico Madrid that Los Blancos will not bid for striker Sergio Aguero, who announced this week that he wants to leave Los Colchoneros. The 22-year-old has been linked with Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool. (Press Association)

I read somewhere that Perez has a history of saying Real won't sign somebody only for them to sign them a few days later. If he's not going to Real though then you'd have to assume he's off to City.
 
Seems to be a lot of different sources talking of a £10million bid for Scott Dann from Birmingham to Liverpool. Dont know if they are all merely from one initial source but its a story which certainly appears to be gathering momentum. He's a decent player imo, would be happy to see him slot into our defence (not as much as Kjaer, but looks like thats a no go anyway)
 
The Colombia international has been one of the revelation of the season and his fine performances have not gone unnoticed in England, and beyond.

Arsenal and Tottenham have tabled offers for Porto's €30m-rated forward Radamel Falcao, Goal.com can reveal.

The Colombian hitman has enjoyed his most prolific season in European football, helping the Dragons to a treble, and his agent disclosed that the 25-year-old's performances have attracted attention in England.

Claudio Mossio of Sivori and Asociados, the company that represents the striker, told Goal.com: "Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are the two clubs that are keen to sign him, and have already tabled an offer for Falcao."

The striker has a buy-out clause of €30m and has also courted attention from clubs across Serie A. However, due to a lack of EU passport, a move to the peninsula is unlikely to materialise at this stage.

Mossio continued: "The problem with a transfer to Italy is that he does not have a EU passport. He has a contract for two more years with Porto and has a buy-out clause of €30 million. The club that matches that clause has a good chance of signing him."

The Portuguese champions recently tied star forward Hulk to a long-term deal while setting the Brazilian's buy-out fee at €100m, and are still hopeful of doing similar with his strike partner.

"Porto want to open contract talks and offer him a new and improved deal to insert a higher minimum fee release clause," he added.

Mossio added that the chances of a move to Italy would increase if the Italian Football Federation were to allow its clubs to sign an extra player from outside the EU, but conceded that a move to Spain or England is more likely.

"The chances of a move to Italy increase if that would happen. However, the Spanish and English clubs are sitting in pole position. Inter already have [Giampaolo] Pazzini as striker, while Juventus have [Alessandro] Matri. He would be a good addition to Roma," he concluded.

Falcao struck a tournament-record 17 goals in the Europa League in 2010-11 as the Dragons enjoyed a memorable campaign under the tutelage of coach Andre Villas-Boas.

Since joining the club from River Plate in the summer of 2009, the frontman has collected the Portuguese league title, two Portuguese cups, two Supercups and the Europa League.

Some people are saying that betting has been suspended on redknapp becoming the new chelsea manager! :(

Let's hope it's just a rumour.
 
If there is any man in in the world who can bankrupt Chelsea, its 'arry.

I wonder how many millions will be spent on players that never get seen this time.
 
This kind of thing has become more and more common place as the popularity of Twitter rises.



Rumour starts
People believe it
People back it
Bookies have no choice but to lower the odds

With how many people use Twitter and the nature of it, it's incredibly easy for a sudden surge in a particular betting interest to occur, such as the numerous times the book was closed on Benitez being sacked from Liverpool.
