Headlinin': Sawker

. 01 August 2008

  • After tearin' up their hearts all summer, Adebayoor finally puts pen to paper, sticking with Arsenal until 2013 (or until he wants to leave again...next summer). FC Barcelona misses out on its target to replace Samuel Eto'o, who has yet to agree to personal terms with any of the big clubs after his signature.
  • The on again off again Cristiano Ronaldo/Real Madrid/Manchester United love triangle is BACK BABY! To the dismay of Mancs worldwide, Ronaldo has made his opinion awfully clear.

  • Liverpool, despite Aston Villa claiming the deadline for a renewed Gareth Barry offer had passed, continue to pursue the England international.
  • Real Madrid's pursuit of Holland starlet Rafael Van der Vaart (possibly a substitute for their stalling progress on the C. Ronaldo front) gains steam, against the wishes of Hamburg (and ex-Tottenham) manager Martin Jol.
  • Valencia hope to keep Spanish stars of Euro 2008 David Silva and David Villa, as rumors of their imminent departure swirl.
