This is the shit I'm talking about. Balotelli scores a brilliant goal, setup by none other than Giovinco , and minutes later he lets his team down by getting sent off. Regardless of whether or not it should have been a red, what is he doing kicking the Swedish player? The referee warned him earlier in the match for that type of shit. It's that side of his game that makes me worry about his future with the NT. You can say he's young and that hopefully he'll grow out of it, but you don't see any other kid in the tournament doing that type of shit. I just hope he doesn't get suspended.

What would be the difference between him and say, Totti, then? Totti is exceptionally skilled, yet, will kick, spit and stomp on players on occasion. That's how he's always going to be imo and he won't be the first or the last to act in this way, regardless of his age. Add to the fact that Mou encourages him to act aggressively on the pitch, there will be times he's going to go over the top.

Dejan, the 3 primevera players are going to be Obi,Khrin and Belec if i remember Mourinho correctly.

Btw, Branca is in Madrid and there are rumors that Real have offered 60m + Huntelaar for Ibra. We should reject Huntelaar and just take cash. The only striker I would take is Higuain.

Argentine striker Carlos Tevez confirms he will leave Manchester United

Argentinian forward Carlos Tevez will leave Barclays Premiershit champions Manchester United, the club confirmed.

Tevez's two-year loan deal was set to expire this month because United have been unable to agree a transfer fee with the group of investors who own the economic rights to the Argentine forward.

United offered Tevez a new five-year deal that would have made him one of the highest-paid players at Old Trafford, but said he turned it down.

A statement from Manchester United said: "Following contact received from Carlos Tevez's advisors last night, in advance of the deadline the Club set for concluding negotiations, Manchester United announces that Carlos will not be signing a new contract with the Club.

"The Club agreed to pay the option price of 25.5 million pounds and offered Carlos a five-year contract which would have made him one of its highest paid players.

"Disappointingly however, his advisors informed the Club that, despite the success he has enjoyed during one of the Club's most successful periods, he does not wish to continue playing for Manchester United.

"The Club would like to thank Carlos for his services over the last two seasons and wishes him good luck for the future."

The decision paves the way for Tezev, who has been linked to a number of top flight clubs in England including Liverfekkin'wankscum and Manchester City, to relaunch his career in the Premiershit.

Despite playing a leading role in United's success last season the Argentine complained of not playing enough. He was regularly used as a substitute.

Inter Coach Jose Mourinho Gives Zlatan Ibrahimovic Ultimatum – Report

The Nerazzurri will not allow Ibra to leave after July 12, so he has less than a month to decide upon his future...

Inter coach Jose Mourinho has given Zlatan Ibrahimovic an ultimatum over his future by telling the club and the player that he will not be able to leave once pre-season begins.

The Sweden-striker now has to make a decision as to whether he wants to stay or go. Il Corriere Dello Sport reports 'Mou' met with Massimo Moratti before he went on holiday last week and the pair spoke about the striker. The 'Special One' has stamped his foot down and he will not allow 'Ibra' to be sold after July 12 - the day Inter meet in Los Angeles to begin their pre-season preparations.

Mourinho wants to have his complete squad with him, and he will not allow any room for transfers to take place once he gets back to work.

Ibrahimovic has been linked with a number of clubs in the past, including Real Madrid and Barcelona, however, the official line is that Moratti wants to keep his man.

Should Ibrahimovic leave, rumours imply the Nerazzurri will move for either Samuel Eto'o of Barcelona or Olympique Lyonnais' Karim Benzema.

Marca, a publication based in the Spanish capital, has reported this morning that Ibra is already in negotiations with Real Madrid.

Inter, trovato accordo con Arnautovic

Alla fine le cose andranno esattamente come si prevedeva sin dall'inizio. Marko Arnautovic vestirà la maglia dell'Inter. A darne conferma è il suo procuratore, Peter Baars: "Sì, confermo che abbiamo firmato un contratto quinquennale con l'Inter - riporta fcinternews.it - Marko ha sempre voluto vestire la maglia nerazzurra ed ora, possiamo dirlo, è tutto nero su bianco. La trattativa l'abbiamo conclusa quest'oggi in Austria e, oltre a me, erano presenti il procuratore Robert Groener, l'agente Fifa Claudio Vigorelli, mentre, per l'Inter, era presente il Direttore Sportivo Marco Branca". Per l'ufficializzazione dell'affare occorre attendere l'intesa tra l'Inter ed il Twente, ma mai come adesso l'attaccante austriaco è vicino a indossare i colori nerazzurri.


Arnautovic has signed a 5 year contract. Now we just need to agree with Twente.

Frank, I've read about Branca being in Madrid yesterday....I've also read about him being in London to discuss with Chelsea. Now Arnautovic said that Branca was with them to sign the contract......in Austria.......something is not right, is it??

Moratti fears Ibra and Maicon exits
Sunday 21 June, 2009
Inter President Massimo Moratti believes there is only a 50 per cent chance Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Maicon will stay this summer.

Both players are unhappy and have been strongly linked with multi-million pound moves to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

“As a fan, I would like them to stay, but we have to think about the balance sheet,â€

[Dejan-Stankovic]

First Berlusconi, now Moratti with the "balance sheet" reasoning... The same reasoning just before Milan sold Kaka so brace yourselves because this doesn't sound too good right now.

[Dejan-Stankovic]

[Lombardiamia]

That is Serie A's current situation, Dejan. We have to sell in order to survive. I guess we should stop this CL blattering too, cause it is obvious that the CL wont be getting anywhere near Italy.

Mourinho Prepares Macheda Swoop – Report

'Kiko' has attracted the attentions of 'The Special One'...

Federico Macheda could well be Jose Mourinho’s next transfer target accoring to the latest reports from The People. After showing signs of brilliance in some first team cameo appearances for Manchester United, the young Roman native has apparently caught the eye of ‘The Special One’.

According to reports, the Inter coach is set to utilise ‘Kiko’s’ summer break on the penisula to persuade him into a potential switch to the Italian champions.

Given the imminent departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, it seems highly unlikely the English champions would consider any offers for their rising star.

With a real opportunity to break into the first team setup at United, it seems Mourinho will have some presuading to do, if he is to tempt the Italian back to his homeland.

“It’s not true that Zlatan has manifested his desire to leave,â€
