HAZZZZZZARD

We'll be getting Falcao or Cavani in January

cant wait to see sahin in action for us

martinez! superstar

Carroll will be a goal machine for West Ham! Just watch!

Luka Modric is a great buy

Xherdan Shaqiri was a big steal for us! SHAQIRI!

sahin good player for LFC :) YNWA!!

Alex Song is an amazing signing for Barça, he played a couple of minuts only in the classico but he did it good.  I never seen a player who played so good in defence, in mid and also going in attack when he can.

P.S. @capilano why do you need to underestimate every team and players on this forum? not all of them have the mon€y of Man $ity so shut up, Cassano is a hard worker player.

The great FootyRoom community forgot to mention huge deals such as:

• Javi Garcia (SL
Benfica to Manchester City - €20m + 3m relatively to according some league
accomplishments I guess);

• Essien (Chelsea to Real
Madrid - On Loan);

…and consecutively…

• Lass Diarra (Real Madrid to
Anzhi - On Load I believe) - I wonder if he's getting a Bugatti car for his
birthday as well lol;

• Lima (SC Braga to SL Benfica
- €4,5) - Involves much less petro dollars but seal it's a reasonable
player that's worth keeping an eye on.

What about Del Piero!? 

Did he go spending his retiring money to Australia? lol

Lol, Aimar is amazing.. why aren't Benfica using him? I know his in the beginning of his 30's, but still...

• Michael Essien (Chelsea to Real Madrid on loan)

This is the first i've heard of it! Now real have 2 stronger midfielders!
