poor misguided lad!!

vila-real on a bit of a slump at the moment
cant believe sevilla have finished the year in second! hardly got out of first gear yet there they are!

because he's got a chance of playing in a better league and winning European competitions elsewhere?

What a very odd thing to say.

Money as well?

Surely he'll earn more in wage and earn more through sponsorships playing for Real.

He may not even get it the first team at Real with Raul, Higuan, Van Nistelrooy, Saviola and Huntelaar as striking options.

SSN saying Real are interested in Luis Valencia from Wigan. We want £15million for him I just hope we can keep hold of him.

Raul is 32 and close to retirement. Van Nistelrooy is not much younger and playing on one leg. Saviola seems to get up the nose of every coach he plays under (thereby eliminating his impressive goalscoring record) and Huntelaar - well Benzema's just plain better than he is.

if someone offered £5m i'd snap there hands off!!

I read on SSN last night that Jermaine Pennat is linked with a move to Spain. Then this morning I heard he is linked with Real Madrid.


If thats true then that is truely shocking.

juande ramos certainly liked his stay in the prem! yet another player he's after luring to the bernabeu!

step forward jermaine pennant. this afternoon's liverpool echo says the fee would be around £3 million, is he out of contract soon?

Wigan need to keep him with Zaki and Heskey not guarenteed to stay very long.

but dont you see?? he'll do a heskey!
wigan latics need to cash in on their 'stars' while theyre hot

But we need to keep them and have a decent team too.

They got it right with Arbeloa. He is rubbish.

alongside Toni Moral, a winger/striker recruited from Alaves. Hopefully with a bit more oomph up front (and maybe a centre back/holding midfielder recruited in the window) we'll be able to pull away from the bottom.

Spanish international, plays in Liverpool's defence which is much stronger than Madrid's, he'd make a better left back than Heinze or Marcelo, despite naturally being a right back.

Will Tchite be going the other way?

I read somewhere once that Valencia were looking to swap Tchite for Zigic.

Hope not. Valencia don't need him. He's not even that good to be honest. Morientes, Angulo, Villa and Mata would all be ahead of him. Plus Silva could play up front as an emergency striker if absolutely neccesary.

I also read Valencia are very interested in Keirrison, the young Brazilian. Anything materialised?

not difficult! both are cr@p!

Not so much about La Liga, but is to do with Madrid. Real Madrid are being told that they can only include one of their new signings to play in the champions league. Rules state that they must decide which of the new players they wish to play due to them both playing in the Uefa cup this season.

So who should they go for? Tbh they could do with them both, but think they will go with the striker in Hunterlaar, and use Gago or even Garcia as the holding midfielder.

Diarra. They can play Higuain, Raul even Saviola up front. I think the holding midfielder role is a much more pressing concern inspite of Gago's presence (or should that be because)

He is still not very good at all.

He's not 'very good', but he is good, and certainly a better defender than a few of those currently at Madrid.
