Ferguson reckons Nasri has agreed a deal somewhere (City I assume). But he also reckons that Wenger is willing to keep him this season and see him leave on a free.

Palace sign Jedinak:
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12875_7032336,00.html
He's one of the best performed aussies and yet, he goes to Crystal ****ing Palace?
I hope that club gets relegated and goes back into administration. Jedinak should be playing in a top division.

Yeah that'll show the world he deserves to be in the top flight, by helping them get relegated.

What is a years accumulation of Manchester City Intellectual Property worth?
No-one will win
What message does it send to the players that you want to recruit?
Damn, that's classy ...
The message it sends is 'if you sign a contract and are happy to be paid millions in sign on fees and wages then you will be expected to honour it unless a club comes in with a suitable offer'.
Players have far too much power at the moment. About time a club stood up to the idiots.

Problem is the players would just go to another club where they could continue to dictate what they want
Hours after Fergie said Nasri's not coming, NewsPanel reports Nasri to MUFC is done; http://newspanel.co.uk/sports/samir-nasri-is-heading-to-united/145/
All it proves Borgsta is that the Portugese League and to a lesser extent La Liga have it 100% spot on in regards to transfer dealings. Every contract in football should have a buy out clause. Unlike the unrealistic crap ones La Ligas top teams hand out football should head down the path the Portugese league is with a third party (Sports Star funds etc) placing a reasonable price on a player and not budging until a club actually meets it.
The purchase clauses for players like Rolando, Falcao, Hulk at Porto are very fair and reasonable IMO and they are leading the way in regards to how to deal with transfers. Thats why so much young talent is and will continue to come from that rather mediocre league

You think £89m is a fair price for Hulk?
Meant Moutinho. Hulks buyout clause is of course ridiculous but when the guys agent owns 10% of his playing rights what else do you honestly expect?

Liverpool have sold Konchesky for 1.5 mill apparently, or to put in another way Leicester have overpaid for Konchesky by 1.5 mill

To be replaced by Wayne Bridge according to the rumours this morning. 
FWIW, I think Konchesky is a decent enough player, will be a good signing for Leicester at that level, only shame about it is that they probably won't give a contract to Michael Ball who is also training there.
I think compulsory buyout clauses is a great idea, a club might put something ridiculous in there but at least there is no confusion and part of the contract negotiations might be to reduce the buyout clause.
The other thing I'd look at is extend tribunal assessed fees to all players, not just 23 and under. That way the power that players hold to just see out their contract and walk away for nothing is gone, at least the owning clubs will get a fair (ish) fee if the player does go somewhere else.

Liverpool have agreed a fee with Villa for Stewart Downing, £18.5mill allegedly.

The Guardian have reported £20m.
Pretty ironic as they pointed out Darren Bent moved to Villa to play alongside Ashley Young and Downing.

18.5 is in the region of 20

Why is Inter selling Sneijder? I read an article a fortnight ago where Sneijder said he is very happy in Italy why does he want to leave all of a sudden? Also where is Man Utd pulling 35 million from? Also 200,000 GBP's per week wow

Answer: They're not selling Sneijder.
Fergie's pretty much confirmed it's all media bullshit.

Which party spreads the most BS?
The clubs
The managers
The players
The media
From reading the stuff on-line it all sounds like a pretty close run race.
