Grosso is Lyon’s highest-profile summer signing and will come as much sought after relief by a club who saw the depature of France international left back Eric Abidal to Spanish giants Barcelona.
Lyon, chasing a record seventh consecutive League One title, have also signed Nadir Belhadj from French first division rivals Sedan and Mathieu Bodmer and Kadar Keita both from Lille.
“He’s not the kind of player you can talk about strengths because he has many things he can give to us.”
This would suggest that one or maybe two strikers will leave Liverpool before the start of the new season and it looks like West Ham have made a bid of £25 million for Bellamy after losing Tevez to Man Utd while Crouch’s position isn’t too safe either.
Not wanting to rest on his laurels and definitely not wanting to finish third again in the Premiership Liverpool’s Rafa Benitez is said to be ready to make a move for Porto’s Ricardo Quaresma.
Am i dreaming or is there a possibility that Portugese trio of Ronaldo, Nani and Quaresma all playing in the Premiership next season?, that’s sweet news and i really really can’t wait for next season which is about a month away. (more…)
That has been a strong rumor for the past 3 days and several sites are now reporting that Carlos Tevez has indeed signed a deal with Man Utd, the transfer fee is estimated to be £20 million which is an enormous sum and has propelled Utd as the busiest club and most money spend in the transfer market this pre-season with a total of £70 million spent.
The Tevez move will be completed next week, subject to any challenge from West Ham, who still claim to own the registration of the player who saved them from relegation last season.
Tevez, who was once fined while playing for Corinthians for turning up to one of the Brazilian club’s press conferences wearing a Manchester United shirt, is a close friend of United’s Argentine defender Gabriel Heinze. Tevez was reportedly a guest at United’s Premiership title-winning party in London.

I found a great little site today that lets you do ‘pretend’ betting on the footy. The premise is simple, pick some games, predict the results, and see what you would have won (or lost) had you really gone to the bookie…
Not so long ago i posted about Lyon and what they are using thier money for, and today it is confirmed that have signed Fabio Grosso from Inter Milan.
