Put them in here.

I'll go first

Barcelona have put in a formal bid for Fabregas apparently, and Barca knocked back a 29 million pound offer from Man City for Zlatan Ibrahimovic (would have thought that was a pretty good deal for Barca - he hasn't been that good for them).

And I'm pretty excited that Huddersfield just signed Joey Gudjonsson from Burnley. Great signing for a League One club imo...

Looks like YJC is off to Le Arseanal...

Juan Manuel Mata (Valencia winger/inside forward) to Barca, probably by end of next week.

Still cannot believe Fabio is going to the WC, hes farken woeful.

he looks good in that Nike advertisement...

So does Ronaldinho, hes not going to the WC...

Still better than most of the England CBs.

And now there is one less.
Rio Ferdinand is out of the tournament with a knee injury...

Another good signing for Huddersfield, Gary Naysmith.

Beckford to Everton... Old news, but it's a good excuse to show this screamer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOX555s5seY

Hopefully he drops some bombs like this in the next Merseyside derby.

Australian international striker Nikita Rukavytsya has signed a three-year contract with Hertha Berlin, the German second division side announced on Wednesday.

The 2010 World Cup representative spent last season on loan at Belgian side KSV Roulers who were relegated from the top flight, having previously played for Perth Glory in the A-League.

"Nikita is very quick and very adaptable up front," said Hertha's sporting director Michael Preetz.

The 23-year-old, who was born in Ukraine but moved to Australia aged 14, was out of contract at Dutch side FC Twente.

Rukavytsya played for Australia at the 2008 Olympics - an under-23 side - and has since played six times for the Socceroos.

He also made two appearances off the bench in this year's World Cup.

Hertha finished bottom of the Bundesliga last season, winning just five times, and were relegated to the second division.

The good showing of the Japanese at the World Cup has resulted in a flurry of interest:

Uchida was already going to Schalke from Kashima and that's all been confirmed once he came through the World Cup unscathed

Nagatomo has gone from Tokyo FC to Cesena in Serie A

Kashiwa had a great World Cup in goals and has been snapped up by Lierse SK in Belgium from Kawasaki Frontale

Interestingly they are all defenders though Uchida and Nagatomo are more of the wing-back than traditional full-back variety.

Kagawa had his transfer to Dortmund come into effect last week from Cerezo Osaka

I've heard nothing to date in relation to Honda though since he only recently arrived at CSKA Moscow he may see out the season before making any decisions as it will allow him to play in the Asia Cup without any club hassles. Certainly there is no shortage of interest in him and there are strong rumours linking him to Olympique de Marseille

Even North Korea has a transfer as a result of the World Cup with Chong Tae-Se going to Bochum

Across the ditch South Korea doesn't appear to have had much transfer action. Right Back Cha Duri has gone from Freiburg to Celtic however I think that's about it.

Kawashima, just to make a slight correction. Kashiwa is a city in the Chiba prefecture.


Honda's been at CSKA for a season now (well, half a season). He's dying to leave - all he does is complain about his position at the club and the players around him (I'm not allowed to play forward enough, the players make bad passes, etc.). Sour grapes, he's always been like that.
Problem is, with three seasons left on his contract - and the last World Cup under his belt - CSKA will be asking for big money.
Rumour I've seen is 20m Euro from Valencia.



Again, nitpicking, but it's either Chong Tese or Jong Tae-se.
A true North Korean transfer (as in, an ACTUAL North Korean transferring to a club outside of his native country) is Cha Jong-Hyok to FC Wil in Switzerland. Great move for him.


Also, Takahara has moved from Urawa to FC Seoul (thank Christ). Koki Mizuno has gone to former rivals Kashiwa after being released from Celtic. Seichiiro Maki from JEF United to Amkar Perm (Russia).

As for Koreans/K-League, Song Chong-gug is off to Al Shabab. Ricardo Esteves to CS Maritimo in Portugal. Those are pretty much the two important ones, if anything.

Hah, sorry about that Steelinho, big night on the town left me a little weary this morning

Bobby Cullen is loose as well, no idea where he is going but I'm fairly sure he's left Jubilo Iwata

Oh yeah, last I heard he was on trial with Kumamoto. But surely he's good enough to be picked up by a better club, top J2 at best.

It's being reported that Smeltz is on his way back from China after 5 days! Eh?

Tierry Henry to Red Bull New York

Joe Cole signs four year deal with liverpool...

Brad Jones to Liverpool!?!

Mario Balotelli to Manchester City





He would say that, as City spending hits £100m (£100,000,000)
