Not Premier league, but still worth reading. SSN say that Patrick Vieira is in talks over a move to PSG, and Olof Mellberg has found the chance of playing with Matt Derbyshire irresistable and moved from Juve to Olympiakos for £2.5m.

shame rovers don't share the shame ambition if true

I personally do not rate Martins. He scores wonder goals and won't do anything else for a couple of months.

Apparenly Taylor has moved.

Strange move really. Have they sold Schmeichel yet?

Found this on the Sky Sports site too. How the mighty have fallen: Brazilian Denilson, once one of the world's most expensive footballers, has abruptly terminated his contract with a Vietnamese club, ending a three-week stint there. And to think I thought he'd go on to become a Haiphong Cement legend. Guess the foundations just weren't laid right.

Just goes to show that nothings set in stone.

Wasn't he once linked with Bolton? He'd fit in well at the Breezeblock.

Rather like Chelsea when Abrimovich was having his spending orgy, Man City's spending can be disregarded when it comes to any standards of what players are worth. It's the real silly season there.

And yet, they had more sense than to give Sturrige 55,000 a week :)

Saw a brilliant comment on the Guardian article about that

He has the ethics to go right to the top. Lovely kid, really humble. Not at all ahead of himself. Cant get into city's side, so he will be an automatic choice at Stamford bridge. His advisers are rumoured to be brain surgeons.

His career hit a brick wall after that towering fee when Betis built him up as a footballing collusus.

He's far from a reputable character either. From what I hear, he's hardly a pillar of the community over there. Apparently, he went mad in a pre-season friendly for the club when a stone-wall penalty was turned down.

It's such a shame because he had somewhat hardened in the wake of criticism for joining an 'inferior' league, continually built himself up to the media in preparation for the season ahead and very much cememnted his place in the side.

I don't doubt, however, that some of the rumours doing the rounds were constructed by the media.

THat is what he gets for trying to live the rock and roll lifestyle. Maybe he might find a move to Portsmouth with Pompeii (I know it was a stretch)

Just to clarify though, he wasn;'t one of, he WAS the most expensive footballer in the world at the time. In all seriousness, what a waste of talent and a prime example of footballers making all the wrong career decisions.

Hmm, they've nicked Barry from Villa, Santa Cruz from us, maybe Lescott from the Toffees. Looks like to me they're weakening the teams who could possibly challenge them for Europe, by going after their better players. :unsure: Although that would depend on who Rovers and co spend with the Citeh cash.

Exactly as Chelsea did. cherry pick the "star" players from other clubs Duff, parker Bridge etc.
