gamesrater Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 REAL MADRID have compiled a secret dossier on Steven Gerrard’s habits to determine if he can be a Galactico. Real director of football Arrigo Sacchi revealed: “Before signing a player we like to know everything about him as a man. “We have him watched to know what he’s like with his team-mates, coach and friends, what he eats, his character.†Liverpool skipper Gerrard, 25, is set to discuss a deal extension to 2009. Real do not believe he will sign it and plan to force down his £30million price-tag by delaying a bid. Sacchi said: “We will do something but we are not in a hurry.†Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moreclaw Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Heh, ok Real Madrid - delay your offer so he signs a new contract in the meanwhile, therefore forcing up his value Gerrard is going nowhere. The only stuff goping against that is the media despitate not to lose their #1 story (after "Gerrard to..." took the top spot when it was clear "Vieira to Real Madrid" wasn't going to happen).

Guiness Ginger Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Emre waits on Premiership switch Turkish international Emre Belozoglu is waiting for Inter Milan to reach an agreement with the four Premiership clubs interested in signing him. The 24-year-old is currently on holiday in Istanbul and his agent, Ahmet Bulut, told BBC Sport: "The clubs Emre wants must find an agreement with Inter. "Emre will play in the Premiership next season and we hope the interested clubs can agree a fee with Inter next week. "We have four clubs interested in him - Newcastle, Everton and two others." Newcastle are understood to be the favourites to sign the player - with reports on Friday suggesting a £4m deal worth £60,000-a-week. But Bulut said: "I cannot say about a fee because I am just the agent of the player. "We cannot have an agreement with any of the interested clubs until a fee has been agreed with Inter." Newcastle boss Graeme Souness has been tracking the midfielder for some time, while Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal as well as Everton have also been linked. Emre played only 19 Serie A games for Inter last season and missed the two-legged Coppa Italia final after picking up a groin injury. Newcastle have stepped up their close-season team-building plans, having shipped both Andy O'Brien and Laurent Robert out to Portsmouth. Deportivo La Coruna defender Jorge Andrade claims that Newcastle are interested in him, while Souness has also admitted an interest in bringing Real Madrid's Portuguese star Luis Figo to St James Park. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> We've been linked a bit with him as it says.

Moreclaw Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Err, not very far away, but that's for the first qualifiers only - there are new registration dates for every round so it's not a worry on that front. As for the lack of overall movement... Hrm. I still say it's pretty early. This time next month we could have still made no signings but come the close of the window we'll have 4/5/6 new players. I think there will be activity on the Kuijt front (spelt Kuijt, but on his shirt it's Kuyt because you can't have IJ on a shirt - like RvN's) this week and after that who knows? I still say if we bring in Kuijt, Milito and Reina it'll be a good summer. We also need a LB and the Evra story is well and truely dead ATM. Also need a right midfielder but it looks as though SWP is no longer an option and the Joaquin story may be nothing more than rumour. Wait and see, I suppose.
