TRANSFER STUFF

[jenni_blog]

I've been reading a whole hodge-podge of transfer information lately. Some of the deals have been done, others are strong possibilities and a few are rumours only, but very tasty ones.

For instance, who doesn't want this guy at Real Madrid?

I had a dirty dream about Zucu last night. Have no idea why. He's lovely and looking really good lately in a more mature way, but...uhmmm...he's still a little young for me.

Two pics of Zucu. XDDDD Ungggghhhh.





Giovanni Moreno to Racing Club de Avenalleda from Atletico Nacional of Medellin, Colombia. (A particular favourite player of mine.) :)

I've read so many different things! I've read that Mourinho is looking for a new box-to-box player and when I read that I thought, "But you have Fer, you idiot!"

Then I read this article, which claims he wants to keep Fer! So who knows! Incidentally, I love when Fer and Xabi play together...it works for me. They seem to be able to read each other and I find the play is sharper all around when those two are together on the pitch.

I know it's goal.com but it says in the article that the info came from Marca. (Okay, I know, just as bad.)

I read that article at MARCA. On one hand, it's MARCA and they're full of shit, but they're also the paper that is closest to Pérez. I hope it's true, for Fer. Would be so great if a coach finally appreciates him.

Fer is very under-appreciated, as are defensive mids usually, or so I've heard. But if Mourinho is as good and thorough a coach as they say, then I am sure he will see Fer's strengths.
