Burdisso might come back next year though....I dont believe Roma are that stupid to buy him.

We will probably keep extending the loan deal until his contract with us expires and he becomes a free agent or if he performs well and they offer us 500k, I'm willing to take it.

Not too long till the game boys. I'll take a scrappy 2 - 0, 2 - 1 win and get the three points on the board.

Inter-Sneijder, for a fist of euro (million euro)

It is the time of skirmishes: between Inter and Real and between Wesley Sneijder and the Spanish club. However, the signals are not those of an operation that can fail. Yesterday, Soren Lerby, agent of the Dutch player, flew to Madrid to meet with Jorge Valdano. "He wants to stay at MadridÃ¢â‚¬

Eto'o puzzled at Barcelona exit

Samuel Eto'o says Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola never told him why he was sold to Italian side Inter Milan. The Cameroon striker moved to Inter as part of the deal that took Zlatan Ibrahimovic the other way. Eto'o was sent away despite scoring more than 30 goals for the Spanish side last season, including the opener in their Champions League final triumph.

"I was waiting to be told the reason why they wanted me to go, but there wasn't one," Eto'o said on Sunday. "I never got an answer and I'm not waiting for one anymore. For me, it's over."

Eto'o achieved the rare feat of scoring in two Champions League finals, having also found the net in the 2-1 win over Arsenal in 2006.
He scored more than 100 league goals in five seasons with the Catalan club.

"I would never criticize a coach if another player is better than me," the 28-year-old Eto'o said. "But it's what you do on the field that matters. And until there is proof to the contrary, I deserved to play every Sunday."

Eto'o now hopes to impress Inter coach Jose Mourinho. "The coach wanted me for several years," Eto'o said. "I spoke to him two or three times on the phone and it was easy to make my decision after that."

Matrix? One of Kutuzov and Sforzini better be 2 meters tall, otherwise... Well, even then, I'd still rather Chivu since Lucio could handle the big man. The rest as expected though..

Yes Frank but the 4 strikers didnt even try to track back and the 2 midfielders ended up always some 30-40m away from the nearest striker/winger whenever they go the ball back. We ended up divided in two segments. Add to that that we couldnt even take the ball off Bari since they had always more players than us in midfield and we ended up running after them for nothing. The 4-3-3 formation during the final 15mins of the first half was our best formation out there. The inclusion of Quaresma was not needed at that point.

I read something about Quaresma making gestures at the crowd.What was it about? I don't remember seeing anything. Personally he had a descent game and he is much better than last season.

Are we really interested in Baptista? There has been repeated talk about a swap between him and Suazo. If we are thinking of an alternative for the attacking midfield position in case we don't get Sneijder(which looks more likely with each passing day) then we should go for Diamanti rather than Baptista.
