Snoozefest at Old Trafford. Looked more like two teams that were trying to shake off preseason dust.

This one might've been a little too early.

This one might've been a little too early.

He definitely didn't. He was clearly satisfied with a point, which is the right thing to do from a philosophical standpoint I suppose. We however dominated the match, just super unlucky with our chances, and of course Atkinson, old Blue Boy himself, wasn't going to call the clear penalties. :smh:

But no fuss..

We'll finish the Blues off at the Bridge no problem.
 

Make sure you guys finish your chances. That Swansea match was questionable to the say least.

Erik Lamela to sign for Tottenham, say Roma

_69527688_69527316.jpg


Italian club Roma claim Argentine forward Erik Lamela is to join Tottenham for £25.7m (30m euros).

The deal for Lamela, 21, also includes up to £4.2m (5m euros) in bonus payments, taking the club's spending to nearly £85m this summer.

The sale could finally enable Gareth Bale's move to Real Madrid to go ahead for a world record fee of £86m.

Spurs are also working on a deal to sign Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen, also 21, from Dutch side Ajax.

There is no agreement in place yet and the player would still need to undergo a medical and agree terms.

But Ajax have confirmed that they have given Tottenham permission to talk to the highly-rated international.

Tottenham have already signed Roberto Soldado (£26m), Paulinho (£17m), Etienne Capoue (£9m) and Nacer Chadli (£7m).

The London club are just £2m short of spending as much as Manchester City, who are the Premier League's biggest investors during the current transfer window, recruiting four players for nearly £87m.

Lamela's impending arrival at White Hart Lane could mean that Bale finally completes his switch to Real Madrid.

Tottenham were not ready to let the 24-year-old Welshman leave until they had signed a replacement.

They thought they had signed Willian, but the Brazilian chose to join Chelsea in a £30m deal.

Roma, meanwhile, have announced that they have signed Fiorentina forward Adem Ljajic for £9.4m (11m euros).

The Serbian 21-year-old has signed a four-year deal.

Franck Ribery gets UEFA honor

1377795584_extras_portada_2.jpg


Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery earned the 2012-13 UEFA Best Player in Europe award on Thursday, beating Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo for the award, presented following a live vote by journalists.

Ronaldo did not attend the UEFA gala and Ribery and Messi stood side by side as the winner was announced.

Ribery did not have a scoring record that matched up to Messi or Ronaldo, but his contribution was key as Bayern won an unprecendented Treble of the Champions League, Bundesliga and German cup.

Ronaldo was the highest scorer in the Champions League last season, with 12 goals while Messi scored 46 league goals for Barcelona across the campaign, helping the club win back the Primera Division title.

Boateng secures Schalke switch
359067header.jpg

30 augustus 2013

Schalke have clinched the signing of attacking midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng from Milan on a four-year deal.

Boateng joined Milan on a permanent basis in 2011 having initially moved to San Siro on loan from Genoa in 2010 following his transfer from Portsmouth.

The German-born Ghana international scored twice in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League play-off tie against PSV Eindhoven as the Serie A club booked their place in the group stages with a 4-1 aggregate victory.

Schalke have endured a difficult start to the new season, taking just one point from their opening three Bundesliga games, with striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar sidelined in the 4-0 defeat to Wolfsburg on August 17.

Boateng's arrival will help boost their forward line and the 26-year-old, who has previously enjoyed spells with Hertha Berlin and Borussia Dortmund, was delighted to secure a return to Germany.

"I'm happy to be back home in Germany in the best league in the world," Boateng said.

"The first contact was made a year ago but sometimes you have to wait a bit longer for the good things and opportunities."

Boateng becomes Schalke's sixth signing of the transfer window after left-back Dennis Aogo joined on loan from Hamburg on Thursday.

Manager Jens Keller is confident that Boateng's arrival will have a big impact and revealed that he could feature in Saturday's clash with Bayer Leverkusen.

"He has collected a lot of international experience and I am sure he will help our team greatly," Keller commented.

"He can be used (against Leverkusen), I have an idea of how to use him tomorrow (Saturday)."

Christian Eriksen: Tottenham sign Ajax midfielder

_69575419_christian_eriksen_getty3.jpg


Tottenham have signed midfielder Christian Eriksen from Dutch champions Ajax for £11.5m.

The Denmark international, 21, has played 161 games for Ajax and scored 32 goals since joining in 2008.

The club revealed on Twitter: "We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Ajax for the transfer of Christian Eriksen."

He joins the club on the same day as Romanian defender Vlad Chiriches, 23, and Argentina striker Erik Lamela, 21.

Chiriches became the club's fifth summer purchase when he completed his £8.5m move from Steaua Bucharest.

In a statement, Spurs said they were "delighted" with the deal for the player, capped 19 times by his country.

Later in the day Lamela signed from Roma in a deal that the Italian Serie A side claimed to be worth £25.7m. It also includes up to £4.2m in bonus payments.

The purchase of Eriksen is likely to take their summer spending to just under £105m in this transfer window and paves the way for Gareth Bale to join Real Madrid in a world-record move.

Real Madrid confirm Bale deal:smh::eek:
Gareth Bale's move to Real Madrid was finally sealed on Sunday, with the Welshman joining the Spanish giants on a six-year deal.

The fee has not been revealed by either Real or Tottenham, but it is tipped to be a world record, surpassing the £80million spent by Real when they signed Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.

The transfer represents a significant step in the 24-year-old's already outstanding career and here we look back at Bale's life in football, tracking his meteoric rise from talented teenager to international superstar...
1 september 2013

Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Tottenham star Gareth Bale on a six-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

The Welshman, who will be presented as a Real player on Monday, has finally secured a move to the Bernabeu after weeks of intense speculation and Tottenham manager Andre Vilas-Boas has wished the 24-year-old well.

"We wish him all the best, he's left us with great memories from last season, which I think every Tottenham fan cherishes," Villas-Boas said.

"But he has moved on and we move on as well."

Bale, who scored 26 goals in 44 appearances for Spurs last season, secured a clean sweep of awards - taking the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year, as well as the Football Writers' Association Player of the Year gong.

Despite his heroics, Tottenham could not secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League, finishing fifth behind rivals Arsenal, sparking doubt over Bale's future at White Hart Lane.

Bale's switch to the Spanish capital had been expected for some time, with an option to purchase Bale's shirt prematurely appearing on Madrid's website only making the deal more inevitable.

A number of Real players, including Fabio Coentrao, Angel Di Maria and Alvaro Morata had been mooted as potential makeweights in the deal, but none have been included in the deal.

Carlo Ancelotti has been busy reshaping his squad since replacing Jose Mourinho in the close-season, bringing Casemiro, Dani Carvajal, Asier Illarramendi and Isco to the club for a reported combined fee in the region of €75m.

Spurs boss Villas-Boas has already gone some way to replacing Bale in his squad, signing the likes of Roberto Soldado, Erik Lamela, Nacer Chadli and Christian Eriksen to boost the club's attacking options.
