Barcelona... BARCA? Did I see that clear? BARCELONA!?

Please gawd let it be me :p

Hope it's not me, that would be a step down icon_wink.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Don't worry dafuge... I can announce that it isn't you who is moving to Barcelona! icon_wink.gif

Dodgee D - Yeah, its the Russian offseason so if your player has no appearances to their name and are based in Russia, that will explain it!

Updates to come this evening, hopefully should get to season close and get on to the World Cup. icon14.gif

Got a bit of free time now, so I will give an update or two:

May 2008 Player News

Mike Bird has demanded that he be given a transfer to a bigger club.

Yhon Wi has rejected the offer of a new contract from Watford.

The 5 players with their contracts expiring on 30th June are:

Jason Healy - Refuses to sign a new contract with Bristol City. Only Wigan are interested in the player.

In Der Van Dude - Is currently being followed by the Rome rivals Roma and Lazio.

Robert Dillon - Moving from Kaiserlautern to Getafe.

Sebatian Skywalker - Has decided to leave AEK Athens and will join Bayern Munich on July 1st.

Finally, the news that everyone was waiting for, who is moving to Barcelona?

The answer is Liechtenstein's Brendan Petersen who is turning his back on Genoa to move to Spain.

I was hoping for a move away from Genoa but Barcelona icon_biggrin.gif Now that's something else.

Hopefully I actually get some game time there I mean Henry, Eto'o, Gudjonsen and Bojan have nothing on me icon_biggrin.gif

Pity a good club means not much in terms of this whole contest although hopefully Brendan will get better faster. It also makes for very good bragging material icon_cool.gif

Good to see Ural performing slightly better in the league this season icon14.gif

Only 5 games, 1 goal and an average rating of 6 though icon13.gif

Passing looks to finally be improving though - 50% (that's the first time I've seen it over 35 icon_biggrin.gif)

WW - I see Jason Demir is unhappy. Is he after a move or is it something else?

P.S. Did I spot a team in the Russian league called 'Tom'? icon_biggrin.gif

Mike Bird - Croatia

Pablo Gonzalez - Switzerland

Yay hopefully get some playing time. And now looking at the squad i can see why i never play!! they only play with one up top and im not going to push out alexander frei for a while. The best i can hope for is that the manager leaves after the world cup and a new one is instated that plays two strickersicon_smile.gif

Talk about a breakthrough season; I've gone from a complete unknown to Bayern Munich's top striker all in one season. icon14.gif

Now if I can get into the German World Cup squad I've got a really good feeling that I can finally have a huge impact on the international scene. icon_wink.gif

Ummm, well it is a breakthrough season for James Knowles, but not quite in the way you were hoping for... he's not playing the games for the Bayern 1st team, he got loaned out to Galatassary earlier in the season!

(If you look back at the September 2009 update it says so icon_wink.gif )

Still, plenty of playing time at a decent club. icon14.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I remember reading that but forgot over the course of the season icon_biggrin.gif; still a fabulous season. icon14.gif I still reckon I at least deserve a call-up to the national squad.

I noticed quite a few free transfers in the July 1st list. As the Bosman rule doesn't apply to Russia (offers still have to be made even for out of contract players), I think the chances of getting transfered away from there are reduced - that's my excuse for still being stuck at Ural anyway icon_wink.gif

Well, I guess you and I will be striking partners then, won't we? icon_wink.gif

Don't worry, I'll let you score a few goals.
