LOL. No.
I get EPL and Serie A, occassional La Liga, plus CL.
I wish I got more Ligue Une and Bundesliga, but I'll have to settle for highlights for now.
What's a good site to keep track of footy news worldwide?
On other news, Baros wants to stay in Liverpool. Like I said before, he's good support striker and if Benitez keeps playing 4-5-1, he'll be relegated to bench as Morientes is better sole striker, maybe Cisse. |

He is wanting more wages, greedy tosser. Rafa doesnt want him in the team. Hes will be 3rd choice striker, 4th if we sign that extra striker we have been promising. So he cant either sit on his ass doing nothing for a year or go to valencia or lyon.
I hope he pisses off. Cant stand him. |

Baros is a good footballer but he's not that good a player, if you get what I mean. He has the attributes such as pace, power and dribbling which can cause defences problems but his awareness is so poor and he misses a lot of chances. I can imagine he'd be a nightmare to play with at times because he runs about like a bit of a headless chicken.
He might become a good player some day but I think you'd have to build a team around him and he's just not worth building a team around. At a club like Liverpool he should only be a squad player because he's just nowhere near consistent enough. If he went to Lyon and got a regular game he could consider himself a lucky boy, but I hear he has turned them down. Sums him up I'm afraid. |

Deco and Laporta
Luis Anderson de Souza, Deco, has signed a contract extension with the Club until 2010 and told reporters, "I always wanted to stay here".
The agreement was signed on Thursday morning by Deco and Club president Joan Laporta. It extends the original contract by a further two years and increases the buyout clause from 50 to 75 million euros.
Other offers
Deco stressed that he had chosen to remain at the Club despite receiving
a number of excellent offers from some of Europe's biggest names: "I had other offers but I never wanted to discuss them. I always wanted to stay here, and the Club wanted me to stay, so it was very easy for us to reach an agreement. I'm not going to talk about the other clubs and what they were offering me because that's not my style. The Club knew there were other teams that were willing to pay my buyout clause, but my wish has always been to remain here".
Building a winning team
Deco is the third member of the squad to sign a new contract, following on from Xavi and Damià, and he believes this is a sign that that the team is poised to achieve great things. "So far we have demonstrated that the team is good enough to keep on winning. These players are attractive to the best teams in the world. So it's better that they stay here".

!!Eto'o Vows To Stay
07/06/2005 19:07:00
Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o has vowed to remain at Barcelona in a bid to end the speculation linking him with a move to Chelsea.
Eto'o was a massive success at Camp Nou following his move from Mallorca last summer, as he helped the Catalan outfit to the Spanish title.
"I can assure you that next season I will be at Barcelona, I can guarantee it because I am happy," Eto’o told Spanish radio.
Thats what i mean, its not ALL about MONEY |

Fergie lines up Jenas move
Manchester United are reportedly ready to bid £7m for Newcastle's Jermaine Jenas.
According to The Sun Jenas was far from happy when the Toon signed midfielder Scott Parker from Chelsea for £6.5m earlier this week.
And that has alerted Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson, who is a confirmed admirer of the England playmaker.
Jenas fits the bill for the new young team Ferguson is building at Old Trafford, although a striker - probably Real Madrid's Michael Owen - remains his priority.
Parker has arrived on more than double Jenas' reported £25,000 weekly salary and there is no sign of a new contract for the former Nottingham Forest starlet.
He did sign an improved five-year deal but that was 18 months ago, and now he reportedly believes he should be on nearer to what Parker is earning.
Let him go, unhappy at Parker signing, so does he want us to have players?

Robert Pires is being linked with a 3M move to Valencia.
The Sun are talking about the Jenas move, I don't believe it personally.
According to the Daily Mail: "Newcastle have emerged as front-runners to sign Portugal star Figo and have opened talks with Real Madrid."
I'm not convinced that's true and Valencia would be a better option for him anyway. But he has said he wants to come to England and it would give Freddy Shepherd the media attention he craves. He's a damn site better than most of the wingers currently playing in England and would still be good for a season or two,his wages are massive but he's available for free. He seems a different player to Kluivert whose hunger has gone. |

Liverpool is figo's first choice, fairly obvious why. Madrid where willing to let him go for free this summer, but a since theres a bit of interest madrid now want money. Some random club in middle east are the only team willing to pay, he wont go there though as its a world cup year.
Liverpool arent going to pay for him and i dunno if any other team will, so madrid can either have him sit on his ass paying his wages for a year or let him go now, they will let him go.
I think he will probaly go to england. Nearly the end of his career, never played here, good chance to do so. DOne it all in spain so cant he him going to valencia.
As a liverpool fan i am not to sure, the chap is a diving, cheating ****. Its just going to get us hated. Hopefully rafa will sort that out.
Real madrids Samuel has joined inter on loan hasnt he? |

Everton to sign Danish defender Kroldrup from Udinese and leading to chase Bellamy.
Still not sure about Bellamy. I think you could find a better target to spend what, 6 mil on a striker. |

I think Figo would be a massive signing. He played 33 of Real's 38 league games this season, only missing the other 5 because of an argument with the manager (hence why he is now leaving), he also started all 10 of Real Madrid's Champions League games, scoring 4 goals. If it wasn't for his fallout with Vanderlei Luxemburgo he'd still be a regular in the Real team now. If he's good enough for Real Madrid, he's good enough for us!
Sky Sports were reporting this evening that Figo has been in talks with Newcastle and says he would like to go there but I get the feeling someone else is going to come in and scupper the deal at the last minute.
Newcastle are close to a deal with Emre from Inter Milan, should be sorted by the end of the week I imagine. |
