acknowledge this is one of the highlights of the "season" I'm most passionate about football. Some think that the great football market is held every year at this time of year, is the great scourge of the sport. It probably is, but I can not help saying that I enjoy reading about signings, transfers, rumors and even brutality that inundates us every year and thanks to this we can stay connected with our favorite sport out of season and at the same time the media can continue selling their product.
This summer, 2009 promises to be one of the most movidito of recent years.
On the crest of the wave is Madrid. His season in black and especially the arrival the great shaker of the football market, Florentino Perez, foresees a new plagued season in the Primera Liga club. If his previous period promised a global crack year, this year promises many a year. By now you have 2. The first was Kaka, the great dream of love merengue. Little to say about this player, elegant, effective and more professional than half of the players Madrid together. And finally, today has confirmed the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo. Florentino has been "charged" the market by paying an exorbitant amount (94 million) for the crack of Madeira. For me, no player is worth that amount. This move can bring many consequences. First, Florentino has placed very high and can point to very expensive car joining other clubs such as Chelsea likely. Back to the same. A few years ago all the clubs are "agreed" to do signings with not so exorbitant amounts, Florentino has completely broken the "covenant" by the most expensive signing ever. The second consequence would be that Manchester has 94 million more to make signings. We will see in what players invest so many millions ...
These two signings will have to unite the Argentine Garay, which was signed last season and has followed a year assigned to the club where he was active, Racing de Santander. This strikes me as a signing great success. Garay has stressed since coming to Spain for 4 years. Not only is a good site but who is an expert kicker of fouls and penalties. In 2006 was the highest scoring defense in Europe with 10 goals in his favor. It was time for this player up at a top team because it takes time deserves.
As for Barca, after a spectacular season, no need to do as many signings as his eternal rival. For me, with 3 or 4 signings as much as would suffice. This is to shore up the team in some positions and fill the place of some important player in the case of Eto'o or Toure. Eto'o seems to have one foot out of the club. I've always said Eto'o is the ideal player for the game that his team practiced today, but his end of contract next year is a big problem for the policy. Trusted him and did his best season in Cameroon. Now it loose a lot of money to keep and for the future season was not as good as this, we could talk of money lost, hardly be recovered by selling the player in a few years when its price has dropped so much because of their age or perhaps because of his performance. It's a difficult situation. On the player who can replace it, I still think the best option is Villa, because very little subvert the system Barca game. Although yes, Villa has all the numbers being the third Galactic Real Madrid season. Forlan also a good option if it were not for his age. 30 years is too much. As for Ibrahimovic, his move would be entirely on the transfer policy of Laporta. This is the highest paid player in the world. Many million tab to which the price would have to unite and also transfer Eto'o. The sum of the deal, plus a sheet of 3 or 4 years could total about 100 million euros. Honestly I think a lot.
As for defense, finally seems to be this season if the club will play in the central Brazilian Henrique signed last year and transferred to Bayer Leverkusen where he had a great season. Good incorporation of the central young left-handed, high technical pretty sure that will be used to cover himself with a difficult recovery or exit Milito Cáceres not convincing too. Special case is the left lateral position. Is surely more urgent position strengthened by the departure of Silvinho. It appears that the player who has more numbers to be the deputy is Filipe Abidal. I think not improve what you already have the club and therefore as a substitute French tab. I prefer to Abidal on the bench and the arrival of a good left back. Although it must be say that the market does not provide many alternatives. Filipe spoken, but also Zhirkov. This is more like it! Young side, with exquisite technique, an expert on free kicks and also can play end. A profile that closely follows the Barca game. However, to achieve this, the club must fight with several big European clubs, especially with the Chealsea team seems more interested now. Another good option is not spoken of very young Welshman Gareth Bale Tottenham.
also discusses the possibility of signing a right side to act as a replacement for Alves and Puyol and have power in its usual position central. There is talk of players like Bruno Saltor Almeria, Srna of Shakhtar Donetsk and Maicon of Inter.
open another front for Barca is the case Touré. The African calls for a better contract, Laporta promised when he joined the club, for me to play a certain number of game. The contribution to the team for this player has been spectacular. It came as an unknown player and has become the best player in the world in his position. His salary is far from that of any owner, even under some alternates. And this player, for me, there is no substitute now. Even Mascherano. No waiting for Laporta to adapt its tab performance. If it is ultimately going, the Barca will regret, as it has been one of the keys to success Blaugrana.
As for Ribery, I think will be the first signing of Barca this season. The French player has ruled the Manchester since women's player does not want to live in England for its climate and the player has already made several nods to Barca showing that you love to play in the Nou Camp. I think it's just a matter of time.
Today I have spoken only of the two giants of football in our country and we must bear in mind that everything I write may not be valid within hours. The negotiations, reviews of players or clubs and signings rumors come at a dizzying pace. In coming days will give my opinion about the signings and rumors of other English teams and major foreign teams.
