I still think they have done the purchase of the season in the EPL with Robinho, the guy is dominating in the EPL.
Did you see his goal last week?
Pure Class.
He reminds me of Torre's first season in the EPL straight out of la liga.Yip. very good finnish. Not so sure about the dominating part thoughThat honour would go to a certain Frenchman playing for Chelsea
Yup, he's about as amazing as Adebayor last season. When he has had 35 chances, he scores two goals. when we play against proper opposition led by a tactically astute manager he flounders like a fish out of water and creates no chances. To put it in plainer terms... in those games he couldn't score in a brothel...
Huntelaar agrees move to Madrid
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has agreed a £17m January transfer window move to Real Madrid, the Spanish giants have said.
The Ajax striker, 25, who will be the sixth Dutch player at the Bernabeu, will sign a contract until 2013.
A number of Premier League clubs including Arsenal and Manchester United were thought to be tracking Huntelaar.
The Netherlands international will be seen as a replacement for Ruud van Nistelrooy, who will be out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
As Ajax have only played in the Uefa Cup, he would be eligible to appear for Real in the Champions League. He top scored in the Dutch First Division with 33 goals in 34 games last season but is currently out of action with an ankle injury.
Ajax coach Marco van Basten said: "I grant Klaas-Jan this transfer, though we preferred to finish this season with him."
Real already have five Dutch players on their books in Van Nistelrooy, Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben, Rafael van der Vaart and Royston Drenthe.
They have eight first-team squad members injured and have slipped to fourth place in the Spanish League, six points behind leaders Barcelona.
He scored something like 70 goals in 90 games. He is one of the best.
Iker Casillas Rejected Mega Manchester City Offer
Iker Casillas’ agent, Luis Garcia Abad, has disclosed to Cadena SER radio program ‘El Larguero’ (The Crossbar) that his client was approached by cashed-up Manchester City, who attempted to lure the Euro 2008-winning captain to the Barclays Premier League.
According to Abad, the Abu Dhabi Investment Group-owned City had approached him directly three months ago with an offer to pay out Casillas’ buy-out clause worth €120 million while offering the player a €12 million net per season contract, reportedly double what he is currently earning with Los Blancos.
Casillas promptly said no, but his Middle-Eastern suitors returned with a new proposal just ten days ago, this time offering Real Madrid €150 million to sell their number one goalkeeper and €13 million net per year for the player himself. There was also believed to be an extra condition to sweeten the deal: Casillas would get to decide how long he wanted the contract to run for at City.
The offer was presented in writing to Abad, but he has not yet relayed it to Madrid simply because his client has roundly refused to consider a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
They were also targeting David Villa weren't they?
Ya everyone was targeting him at some point, wouldnt be suprised if Kaizer chiefs came out and said they want to sign him,

According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has revealed to Inter transfer gurus that the Portuguese is still keen on leaving Manchester United, despite his much-publicised 'dream' move to Spanish champions Real Madrid falling through this summer.
