[center]Milan Ready To Offer Arsenal €35m For Cesc Fabregas - Report[/center]

The Rossoneri are looking to further deplete the Gunners' squad by taking Fabregas,

Milan are planning to sign Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas, with Rossoneri club president Silvio Berlusconi having given the move the go-ahead.

According to Tuttosport, vice president Adriano Galliani has a pre-agreement in place with Berlusconi over the Spanish international, and Gunners coach Arsene Wenger has promised he will sell Fabregas to the Italian giants.

The report suggests Milan will offer Arsenal around €35 million for the midfielder. Fabregas will be tempted with a five-year deal worth €4m-per-season. Just weeks ago Berlusconi claimed he wanted players who were under 23-years-old, and Fabregas fits the bill.

I support buying Kalou, i expect wenger intends to buy Kalou so as to replace Eboue or something on the right wing. Kalou would have improved had he come to arsenal. He seems to have retrogressed a little in my opinion.

khanye:
Never!

MrCrackles:
I laugh in Bamako!

biina:
The buyout clause is what I feel UEFA needs to tackle to peg the transfer fees that seem to be spiraling.
When a player has a buyout clause of 300m, then it looks cheap when you buy him for 100m

MrCrackles:
What are saying?
That we have young players who are not three decades old afterall

MrCrackles:
Chick fight

HNIC:
AW is a long time admirer.
We can only sit and watch what happens.

Don't know where I stand concerning him.
In one moment, Kalou can be brilliant and exceptional
In another, he can be totally lost in a match, and you wonder whether he's on the field.

osasp:
em doesnt have a reason to

50 has been taunting lil wayne since for ever and bird man came to his defence saying 'we r making money here, we dont have time for stuff like that' . . .im a wayne fan btw and even he literally begged em to do a track with him.

just so you know, he and em are friends and they even did a track together called 'renegade'. you might want to check that out.

Samson Siasia Raises Alarm Over Nigeria U-20's Defence

The coach has expressed apprehension over his back line less than two months to the U-20 World Cup in Egypt,

Ahead of this year's FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Egypt, Nigeria coach Samson Siasia has told Goal.com that he is growing grey hairs over his team's defensive setup.

"I'm still having problems in my defence, especially my central defence," Siasia said while reviewing his team's preparations for the tournament.

The former schoolboy international, Kingsley Udoh, has been the team's mainstay in the heart of the defence, but his lack of match fitness due to the fact that he has not been playing for a club has been evident of late.

Siasia has also battled to get a worthy partner for Udoh in the centre of the back four.

The coach also bemoaned the lack of quality substitutes in the team.

"One could see from our shock loss to Guatamala in the recent tournament in Egypt that the reserve players are not good enough. I wanted to give every player a chance, but unfortunately this backfired because we did not have the players from the bench to do the job," he said.

The former World Cup star disclosed that the Flying Eagles, as the national Under-20 side are known, will resume training in Abuja on August 8 ahead of their scheduled departure for final preparations in Mallorca.

"We plan to take on the national team of the armed forces in Abuja before we fly out to Spain," he said.

Several players from the domestic league, like Kano Pillars midfielder Shehu Shagari and Osanga King, are expected to now battle for places in the final squad, as Siasia plans to call up as many as 30 players for this final leg of the team's build-up.

"Shagari is a very hard working player, and in our final game against Egypt, Osanga really impressed," said Siasia.

Also expected to stake a claim in the final World Cup squad will be the AC Milan pair of Nnamdi Oduamadi and Harmony Ikande. Oduamadi has been promoted from Milan's youth team to the seniors and recently featured against city rivals Inter in a pre-season game

[center]Chelsea Target Porto Striker Hulk - Report[/center]

Hulk signed for Porto from Japanese side Tokyo Verdy last summer, and after weeks of speculation concerning his future at the Estadio do Dragao during the course of the season, interest in the 23-year-old cooled following two indifferent performances against Manchester United in the Champions League.

However, Hulk has been riding high on form this pre-season, having been the overall top scorer of the Peace Cup and helped his side reach the semi-finals of the competition.

And, according to news daily Correio da Manha, Hulk's performances have not gone unnoticed in London, with the Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, impressed by the Brazilian's qualities.

It is reported that Hulk tops the Pensioners' shortlist and that Abramovich is considering a swoop for the highly coveted hitman, who has a €40 million buy-out clause.

mukina2:
derry mind

i said scum maybe you like the erm erm

dayokanu:
Wenger has other plans He would get some 13 year old that would become the next Maldini to stand in the defence.

Defence of Vermin, Sylvestre, Gallas and Djourou looks like a plot from Ikebe super comic series

jalether:
It's a damn shame, when are this money miss road modafuc4as gonna learn 

Ibime you have a company , i dey support nassarawa fc henceforth

nateevs:
At this rate Chelsea is going, Ibime will soon change clubs oooo . . .

Krayola2:
I don't understand all these clubs that lose money and then start jumping up and down when they win trophy. What kind of winning is that? that one na borrow borrow. Progress that isn't sustainable isn't progress at all. . . .

dayokanu:
AT least you can bask in the euphoria of winning the tour of USA and struggling to a draw with Reading, writing ot whatchamacallit.

Carlo Ancelotti indeed The wise Chelsea fans are already wailing ahead of time.

dayokanu:
No problem come and get Ribery just bring along 94million Euros thats like 80million GBP so the rest 20million Pounds can go on Pirlo and Kun AGuero. Bring the money Pls

Maga wan pay shout halleluyahhhhh

Bayern Munich President Franz Beckenbauer has set midfielder Franck Ribery's price tag at around 94 million euros

debosky:
Let everyone keep yapping. The problems at Arsenal are simple - defensive frailty and lack of bite in the midfield.

debosky:
Unless Aguero and Pirlo will cost £20m, there's no way £100m will get you Ribery, Aguero and Pirlo.

Just accept your OAP and be content.

No way you can accommodate Ribery especially since you've re-signed Malu and Joe Cole is coming back.
