CARLOS BACCA ON ATLETICO MADRID SIGNING LIST

Rumours are hot tonight of a possible transfer deal associated with Colombian & AC Milan forward Carlos Bacca & have soared in Italy after learning of the presence of Andrea Berta, an Atletico de Madrid emissary in Milan. 

According to Italian sports paper 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the economic figures of a possible transfer operation to the Spanish Club is around 25M€ to AC Milan. The player would be offered a yearly salary of 3,8M€ per season, which could be higher with extras & incentives.

Carlos Bacca enters into the Atletico Madrid plans after talks with Chelsea FC for Diego Costa & with Borussia Dortmund for striker Aubameyang have complicated themselves the last days. 

Seems At. Madrid wants to close this deal quickly & Berta fly back to Madrid with the Bacca contract signed in his case.

Stay tuned!

CARLOS BACCA GOES TO AC MILAN

Spanish Football & Sevilla FC will lose a fine forward. The representative of Colombian International Carlos Bacca has announced that Italian Club AC Milan has come to an agreement with Sevilla FC to transfer player for next season. The economic amount is said to be 30M€ with a 4 seasons contract for Bacca.

Interesting to find that Bacca has sacrificed playing in Champions League next season as Milan will not participate in said competition. This makes one think that the offer made to the player was hard to knock back. 

We wish Carlos Bacca all the luck in the World at Milan & in Italian Calcio.

FERNANDO TORRES GOES ON LOAN TO ATLETICO DE MADRID

Back from the Xmas break & the big news is that Fernando Torres has returned to the Club that put him on the World Football stage, Atletico de Madrid. The return of the "prodigal son" has been made official by the Spanish Football Club. 

Complicate negotiation between three Clubs & another player involved, Atletico de Madrid Italian winger Cerci. In the end the mutual interests of all parties coincided with logic as:

• Chelsea FC wanted to get off their list of players Torres & in the process get some money, 
• AC Milan wanted to get off their list of players Torres & wished Cerci of Atletico de Madrid,
• Cerci wanted an exit as he had no regular place in the Atletico team,
• Fernando Torres was delighted to return to Spain & attempt his last opportunity to regain lost form & prestige.

Fernando Torres goes to Atletico on loan from Milan for the remaining part of the season , plus the next. Atletico de Madrid Italian player Cerci goes to AC Milan.

Everyone knows that Fernando Torres is no longer the player that tantalized the Football World. However, there is faith that he may regain "lost sensations" back home, & Atletico Coach Simeone believes in Torres & that he can contribute positively to the squad. We will see. 

For now, welcome back Fernando Torres, lots of luck.

DIEGO LOPEZ TO GO TO AC MILAN

Spanish Football Club Real Madrid - while the bad tongues say Captain Iker Casillas - have got their way & pushed aside goalkeeper Diego Lopez to another Club. The pressure by "both" has been fierce & embarrassing the last few days that Diego Lopez has come to an agreement to sign with Italian Club AC Milan.

The deal between Clubs & Diego Lopez is not official as yet, but AC Milan Chief Galliani said it was 99% done.  Spanish Sports paper "Marca" go further this afternoon & publish that it is a done deal. It is expected that Diego Lopez will fly off to Milan on Monday & sign his new contract with Milan for the next 4 years at around 2.5M€/season. 

The exit finishes the intense debate that has split the Real Madrid fan-base between Lopez & Iker Casillas on who should be the regular goalie. The Club wanted to start the new season without another season of controversy & decided to rid one of them, Diego Lopez being the unfortunate chosen player. The decision to rid Lopez is more a political than a Sporting decision as Iker Casillas is a historical Club figure with important fan-base support. However, the credit of Iker Casillas is running out as his on field form is not up to standards & there is "tension" within the Real Madrid dressing room with some other players that believe the behaviour & methods employed by Iker Casillas have not been at all ethical.

Diego Lopez may soon be gone, but Iker Casillas will have newly signed goalie Keylor Navas breathing down his back. If Casillas cannot regain his form soon or if he continues with his goalkeeping mistakes the debate will again be reopened with Navas replacing him or everyone reminding why Diego Lopez was transferred in the first place.

REAL MADRID EYES YOUNG AC MILAN DEFENDER DI SCIGLIO ?

News out of Italy has us believe that Real Madrid has made a 18M€ offer to AC Milan for its 21 year old defender Mattia de Sciglio. The wish is said to have come from Coach Carlo Ancelotti to strenghten the squald for next season. 

Real Madrid has two "weak spots" their flank defenders Alvaro Arbeloa with 32 years of age & "flaking form" & Fabio Coentrao who has not lived up to expectations & will more than likely be sold next season.

The Milan youngster is considered a young promise with a brilliant future ahead & Real Madrid it seems wishes to secure his services. So much so, that Italian source gives details of the Spanish Football Clubs offer, a 5 year contract with a 2,5M€/salary per season.

Said all this, getting Di Sciglio out of AC Milan will be a tough project. The Italian giant is not going through a good moment with an "aging squad" that Milan fans see in the young defender as a new hope & fresh blood. There maybe a fan backlash if the young Milan defender was to be sold & this could torpedo possible offers. But then again, Kaka was also a "tough project" & he ended up in Real Madrid.

Stay tuned!

ATLETICO DE MADRID 4 AC MILAN 1 | ATLETICO INTO THE CHAMPIONS QUARTER-FINALS

Atletico de Madrid brought back a 0 - 1 result from Milan in the 1º leg game. Tonight the Spanish Football Club added to the aggregate winning 4 - 1 AC Milan in the return 2º leg match of UEFA Champions League. Atletico de Madrid go into the Quarter-Final phase eliminating a "regular" of the competition in AC Milan.

A deserved victory for the Spaniards who exhibited more intensity, more willingness & overall more Football. Atletico de Madrid pressured the Milan defence all night to force mistakes from the Italians which lead to many goal opportunities. The opener for Atletico came from a defensive Milan mistake after Juan Fran picked up a lost ball & crossed to find Diego Costa in the 4th min to score.

The Italians recovered from the initial blow & began to improve & had possibly their best 20 mins of the game, moments that produced opportunities one of which came the Milan equalizer in the 27th min from a Kaka header. The Italians looked as if they would give this tie a "knock around" but Atletico lifted to pressured even more & put Milan again on the back foot. 

The second Atletico de Madrid goal came in the 40th min when Arda Turan got onto a loose ball outside the box which took a deflection into the net. An important goal close to the end of the first half that swayed the balance to the Spaniards.

The second half was more Atletico de Madrid with pressure, disciplined Football & numerous opportunities. The good play from the home side was rewarded with a third goal in the 70th min from Raul Garcia. Milan then pulled from pride & Robinho hit the bar but minutes later Diego Costa got his second & the Atletico de Madrid fourth for the night in the 84th min.

Deserved 5 - 1 aggregate win for Atletico which keeps progressing in Champions League. Tomorrow another Spanish Football Club has Champions League duty with FC Barcelona hosting Manchester City with a 2 goal away advantage. Top match not to missed.

ATLETICO DE MADRID WINS 0 - 1 AC MILAN | UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

UEFA Champions League Football continued tonight with the Spanish representative Atletico de Madrid travelling to AC Milan for their 1º leg match. The final result was a very work & valuable 0 - 1 victory to Atletico de Madrid

The first half saw a better AC Milan with clear chances that forced Atletico goalkeeper Courtois to do his magic with some impressive & extraordinary saves. The Italians came out firing & with more intensity in their game than the Spaniards. The locals used their physical strength to knock around the visitors & there were a few heated moments between players as the tackling got a bit out of hand.

AC Milan player Kaka was being a nuisance & was leading his team creating opportunities that made the Atletico defence work hard to keep their goal clean.  

The second half was another matter. The Spaniards settled & began to play their habitual Football of tight defending with hard midfield work & using their reference point upfront in Diego Costa. The Spanish-Brazilian was a menace to the Italian defence using his body & physical strength to protect the ball & hook up with his team-mates in attacks. The chances began to appear & Milan goalie Abatti had to work.

Atletico was rewarded in the 82nd min when Diego Costa headed in the only goal of the game. A just prize for perseverance & hard headed willingness to put his team ahead. As expected the Italians reacted & began looking for the equalizer & had their moments, but were foiled in their attempts by the solid Atletico de Madrid defence.

Important victory & away goal for the Spanish Football Team which has the advantage over the Italians for the return 2º leg match. The game is far from a shut case but Atletico is in front.

AC MILAN INTERESTED IN ATLETICO DE MADRID MIDFIELDER KOKE

News out from Barcelona based Spanish Sports daily "Mundo Deportivo" announces the firm interest from Italian Club AC Milan for Spanish International & Atletico de Madrid midfielder KOKE. The 21 year old has exploded onto the Football scene under Coach Simeone to become a crucial element of the Atletico team.

According the news source AC Milan has already transmitted to the players representatives the "offer" of a 4M€/ season salary. The player has a 35M€ contract release clause that may be a bit too high for the Italian Club looking to "rejuvenate" their current ageing squad.

However AC Milan is not the only Club following closely Koke, there are rumours of Manchester United, Liverpool & FC Barcelona. The latter has been sounding for some time & the relationship between Atletico de Madrid & FC Barcelona is optimal. Barça may have a "verbal" agreement of "first approach" if Atletico de Madrid does decide to sell or the player wishes a move.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RESULTS | ATLETICO DE MADRID - FC BARCELONA GROUP GAME SCORES

UEFA Champions League tonight for the two remaining Spanish Football Clubs which were scheduled to play their Group games - Atletico de Madrid & FC Barcelona - with each gaining positive results & securing their place in the next stage of the tournament. Here are the final results - scores & all the goalscorers.

Atletico de Madrid won 4 - 0 Austria Vienna & secured the top spot of Group G & into the next stage. The Spanish Football Team continues with its "sweet moment" & it´s the 4th win in Champions League. Excellent Football & play from the beginning to the end that gave few options to the Austrian Team. The goals came in the following order:

• Miranda 10th min
• Raul Garcia 25th min
• Filipe Luis 46 th min
• Diego Costa 82nd min

The scoreline could have been more for At. Madrid but Diego Costa failed to convert a penalty opportunity after Austria Vienna goalie Linder stopped the shot. 

FC Barcelona managed to shake off an "annoying" AC Milan & finally win 3 - 1 in their Group H game. Barça secures their presence in the next stage of the Champions League tournament.

The first half saw Barça dominant as Milan defended & waited in their own half. With this attitude from the Italians it was not too long before the continuing Barça attacks would give their rewards. The first prize came in the 30th min when Milan defender Abate fouled Neymar in the area. Lionel Messi converted the penalty for the first goal of FC Barcelona. Did not take long before the second Barça goal came when Busquets converted a Xavi free kick into a 39th min goal. Then the surprise, right before the end of the 1ºst half a Kaka play ended in an own goal from Barça defender Pique. This was to lift Milan in the second half , bring on Balotteli & look for the equalizer.

The Milan change of mentality in the second half from defensive to attack paid dividends & had Barça on the back foot creating numerous chances of goal. What let Milan down was the lack of effectiveness & finishing that would have lifted the nerves of an already rattled Barça. In Football if you don´t take your chances you pay the price & Barça brought on Cesc Fabregas who gave a pass to Lionel Messi in the 82nd min & broke through the Milan defence to score the third. This took all the wind out of the Milan sails & the match ended 3 -1 for FC Barcelona.

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP FINAL RESULTS | ATLETICO DE MADRID - FC BARCELONA

Two Spanish Football Clubs - Atletico de Madrid & FC Barcelona - had UEFA Champions League Group match duties. Here is a brief summary of events, the final results - scores & the goalscorers.

Austria Vienna hosted Spanish Football Club Atletico de Madrid in their Group H match with the Spaniards winning convincingly 0 - 3 & remaining top of the Group with 9 points. The surprise was the start in the initial XI line-up of Atletico of Diego Costa who made a "miracle" recovery from his ankle injury.

The inclusion of the Spanish-Brazilian was fundamental as he scored two of the three goals for Atletico de Madrid, the first in the 20th min & his second in the 53rd min. Before the Diego Costa goals team-mate Raul Garcia opened up the scoreline in the 8th min to set the Spaniard on course. 

The only "bad news" was the muscle injury to Atletico de Madrid left back defender Luis Felipe who left the second half to team-mate Insua who put in a good second half.

Excellent game for Atletico that practically gives the Club a foot into the next stage of Champions League.

AC Milan hosted FC Barcelona for their Group I match which finished in a 1 - 1 draw. A game that could have gone either way with two very distinctive styles of Football shown by the respective teams. AC Milan started surprisingly with Kaka which gave a clue that their strategy was to defend, pressure & look for the counter-attack. While FC Barcelona stayed loyal to their habitual ball domination & passing style hoping to find the Messi - Neymar combination upfront.

The outcome was a fairly even game, with both sides neutralizing each other most of the time except for mistakes that turned out to be crucial & decisive in the result. The first mistake was a tremendous misunderstanding between Barça defenders Mascherano & Pique that allowed Robinho & Kaka to work the first Milan goal in the 9th min thanks to a knock in by Robinho from a Kaka pass. The second mistake was a lost ball by Milan midfielder Monteolivo which saw Barça combine & find Messi who scored in the 23rd min. 

From here Milan had some very clear chances to score again, one from Robinho that can´t be explained how he missed,  & Barça had their opportunities while one from Adriano comes to mind that can´t be explain either how it was not converted. In the end both side settled for the draw. 

Milan will be very happy ( great match from Kaka by the way ) as they optimized their resources to the maximum, while Barcelona will not be so happy as once again the "defensive wall / counter-attack" strategy of the opponent showed "weaknesses" that are becoming habitual.

Tomorrow UEFA Champions League continues with Real Sociedad & Real Madrid in action in their respective Groups.

REAL MADRID KAKA RETURNS TO AC MILAN

The Italian Club AC Milan has announced the return "home" of Real Madrid & Brazilian midfielder Kaka on its Club website. The deal between Clubs was closed yesterday & the agreement with the player this morning around 03.00 am

Real Madrid lets go the player to Milan for "free" - after paying 67M€ four years ago - but saves itself 20M€ in wages. Real Madrid could get money if AC Milan wins the Italian serie A & passes the Champions League Group stage. Kaka has had to accept a cut in his salary from 10M€ net to around 5M€ net, but this area is very unclear.

The Brazilian returns to the Club that saw his best days & gives the Brazilian playing time, a chances to win back lost credibility & perhaps a chance of a call-up for the Brazilian National Team for the upcoming 2014 World Cup.

REAL MADRID INTERESTED IN AC MILAN DEFENDER DE SCIGLIO

Real Madrid Portuguese International left back Fabio Coentrao has again expressed his desires to leave the Club. The Spanish Football Club wants to hear offers of 25M€ & above before negotiating. Clubs like Monaco, Chelsea FC & even Tottenham Hotspurs may be the players next destination with the latter Club perhaps being part of the "Bale Operation".

The speculated thought about substitute is said to be AC Milan left-back defender Mattia de Sciglio, a youngster that is very much liked by Real Madrid Coach Carlo Ancelotti. The confessed "class" of this player comes with his Football nickname "Il Piccolo Maldini" ( the "small" Maldini ), nick given for the similarities with the Italian Football legend. For Ancelotti & Real Madrid De Sciglio is a bet for the future & a guarantee in case Marcelo gets injured during the long season.

According to the Spanish Sports papers Real Madrid is very interested. Stay tuned!

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RESULT | FC BARCELONA 4 AC MILAN 0

The turn around happened & in a big way as FC Barcelona defeated convincingly AC Milan to continue onto the quarter - final phase of the Champions League. The final score ( result ) was 4 - 0 to the Spanish Football Club that gave them the tie with a 4 - 2 aggregate in their favour.

The Italians made the same mistake most Clubs make when they come to "Camp Nou", defend & speculate with counter-attacks. Giving the ball on purpose & the initiative to Barcelona is a sure manner to get hammered & this is what precisely happened to AC Milan.

However, there was one moment that could have changed it all. A defensive error by Barça player Mascherano allowed Milan forward Niang a clear run at the goal with only keeper Valdes to which he shot to hit the post. Milan had possibly the tie wrapped up but the miss by Niang & consequent recovering of the ball by Barça converted itself through the continuing play into a Barcelona goal. The missed chance was severely punished with a Barça goal, a symptom of the way the night was going & would finish for Milan. 

FC Barcelona knew before the game that they had to win 3 - 0 to get themselves through & from the first second of play poured it on to overwhelm a Milan side intent on defending their "San Siro" 2 - 0 result. The Italian strategy failed as Lionel Messi was to signal his intentions & protagonism with a brillation crafted & executed first goal in the 5th min. It lifted the Barça spirit & convinced them that they could pull it off tonight.

Then the moment the Italians will be dreading all night & the coming days & weeks when forward Niang had the match on a platter but missed a clear opportunity that hit the post. Never again was Milan to receive such an opportunity as the door into the quarter-finals slammed shut on their face.

The immediate reaction from that lost opportunity by Milan was a savage blow to the stomach with a second goal for Barça from Lionel Messi in the 39th min. Crushing for the Italians whom saw how it all slipped away seconds before. 

FC Barcelona at this stage was just one goal away from the objective & in came in the 55th min when David Villa scored the sort after third goal. Mayhem as the stadium burst in jubilation & joy with Barça at that stage qualified.

AC Milan had no other option but to put in forwards ( Robinho & Bojan ) to find a goal, a goal that would put them into the quarter-finals with the away goal rule. The Italians left their defensive obsessions through the need & possibly played their best Football all night. Then in a last gasp attack from the Italians, a fumble gave Barça the ball which counter-attacked via Messi & Alexis Sanchez who passed into a run Jordi Alba who scored the fourth goal in the 92th min.  Game over & goodnight for AC Milan which was truly beaten & may I say humiliated in the sense of being totally out played on all fronts.

Last observations. A mention must go out to the Barça midfield which controlled everything from the first kick off. Xavi Hernandez set the pace, direction & rhythm all night, while Andres Iniesta is simply magic & poetry in motion, a delight for the Football eyes & deadly in his results for the opponents. Lastly, Messi did what a player of his calibre needs to do under such an occasion, bite the bullet of the situation & resolve which he did as a four time FIFA Golden ball player.

Great night of Spanish Football, excellent result for Barcelona & commiserations to AC Milan.

Tomorrow more Champions League with Spanish Football team Malaga FC also needing to turn around an adverse 1º tie result. We wish them the best.

SFS FLASHBACKS | FC BARCELONA AC MILAN 2004 RONALDINHO WINNER

Here is a Spanish Football Sports Flashback, or should I say Champions League Flashback.

Situation Oct - Nov 2004, FC Barcelona had lost at AC Milan 1 - 0 in the Champions League Group match at "San Siro". Two weeks later they met again at the "Camp Nou" in Barcelona. Shevchenko had scored for Milan in the 17th min & Eto´o drew in the 37th min for Barcelona. Then in the 88th min this happened: 



Still much remembered turn around match, incredible game winning goal from Ronaldinho at his height & with it a chilling down the spine celebration of joy as Milan look on not believing what happened with just 2 minutes left of the game.

Could tomorrow be another cliff hanger? FC Barcelona needs to turn around a 2 - 0 aggregate 1º leg score in favour of Milan. Will the spirit of this match - as other historical Barça comebacks - fill the air of the "Camp Nou" tomorrow?

Don´t miss it!

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE | FC BARCELONA POSSIBLE STARTING 11 LINE-UP AGAINST AC MILAN

Spanish Football observers are betting on Valdés, Alves, Puyol, Piqué, Jordi Alba, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro & Messi. But Spanish Sports daily "Marca" add the following statement...these are just 10 but who will be the 11th player to make up the FC Barcelona starting 11 line-up against AC Milan this Tuesday in the 2º leg of Champions League at "Camp Nou".

The media source observes that there are currently four players that can take up the final place according to the ideas & strategy of Coach Tito Vilanova: David Villa, Alexis Sanchez, Cesc Febregas & Tello.

However there is another possible doubt that may be on the mind of the Barça Coach: Alves or Adriano. This arises due to the presence of  AC Milan left-winger El Sharawy, Vilanova may opt for Adriano to hold down the potentially dangerous forward.

Thus far there is plenty of thinking at "Camp Barça" as they plan on how to turn around a 0 - 2 disadvantage from the first leg.

Meanwhile from Barcelona based Spanish Sports daily "Sport" they contemplate what they consider will be a AC Milan plan; a 5 man defensive wall. The media source speculates that the Italians will put up a defensive barrier with  Muntari, Ambrosini, Montolivo, Boateng & Nocerino. If so, a tough night at the office will be guaranteed for FC Barcelona. 

Either way the true winner will be the spectator as we all will be in for a great match of Champions League Football. I think Barça will be able to turn around this tie & go through to the quarter-finals phase, but this is just my hunch.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RESULT | AC MILAN 2 FC BARCELONA 0

Champions League continued tonight with the last Spanish Football representative FC BARCELONA visiting "San Siro Stadium" to play AC MILAN. The result is a bit of a shock as the Italians won 2 - 0 & take over to Barcelona a very nice couple of goals. 

Milan planned their strategy well. Wait for Barcelona, defend well & when given the chance attack to fish up front. They managed to put in place their ideas very well tonight neutralizing Messi & company to just passing & without being able to penetrate close to the goal. It was Milan that had the early chances with Boateng & El Shaarawy almost putting Milan in front.

Naturally after 40 - 50 minutes with the same situation one gets frustrated & some Barça players got nervous & played less. More inaccurate passing, ball losses & fouls began appearing in the Barça scheme of play.

From a free-kick in the 56th min came a drive from Milan midfielder Monteolivo that hit the wall & the ball fell to Boateng who scored pass Victor Valdes. It was a hand-ball & the goal should not have been given but the referee did not see it & gave it as good.

This forced Barcelona to attack more & thus leave spaces open in the defence. Barça put Alexis on for Cesc Fabregas to find a way to crack open the Milan defence but found a solid wall.

Then in the 80th min a defensive lapse by Barcelona allowed Muntari alone in the area who fired in the second goal for the Italians. It was all rush for Barça there after in order to find the away goal at least, but failed in their efforts. The Italians are masters of blocking out the opponent & withstanding the result in their favour, & they did.

Big night for Milan who deserve the win for their persistence & discipline which cancelled out all the Barcelona efforts. Milan is currently in the box seat, but Barcelona at home will be dangerous & wanting to fix tonight's slip & pride hurting loss.

REAL MADRID - AC MILAN - KAKA | TUESDAY D-DAY

The below image could be a reality. That is, see REAL MADRID Brazilian midfielder KAKA dress the "Rossoneri" of AC MILAN. According to Italian Sports daily "La Gazzetta dello Sport"  that player will be loaned out for the next two & half seasons. The only obstacle is an agreement concerning the players 9-10M€ salary per season.

Milan asks Kaka to make an effort in lowering his salary to 4,5M€ while the other extreme is that of a 7,5M€ figure. Real Madrid & AC Milan are said to be in accord & that Kaka now must make the effort which will likely fall halfway between the cited economic figures.

AC Milan top Directive Adriano Galliani travels to Madrid this Tuesday to attempt to shut the deal. Everything indicates, barring strange events, that a deal will be forged out & Kaka will return to the Club that gave him the Golden Ball back in 2007.

Stay tuned!

Latest news: seems to be a hitch with tax laws that complicates the possible loan. The player has agreed to lower his salary from 10M€ to 6M€ but ...

AC MILAN NEGOTIATING WITH KAKA - REAL MADRID

AC MILAN Top Directive Galliani did give much away when asked if REAL MADRID Brazilian player KAKA was on the Clubs "Winter Market" agenda. "Nearly impossible to sign" said the Milan chief. But what about a loan?

AC Milan TV channel then came out & confirmed that the Italian Club was in negotiations with player & Real Madrid to study a "Winter market" loan.

The Brazilian took the Clubs rest day to fly off to Milan & dine with country-mate & AC Milan player Robinho. This ignited the speculation which lead to the commented events.

Kaka has only played 12 games this season & is 30 years of age. His salary at Real Madrid is a whopping 9 M€ which stops Milan thinking about a full transfer. However a loan may be feasible if Milan "helps" Real Madrid with the salary. The earnings from this operation would help Real Madrid offer Cristiano Ronaldo a new & bettered contract. Kaka could be the key.

Stay tuned.

REAL MADRID NEWS | AC MILAN SHOPPING IN MADRID ?

AC Milan head Galliani has been spotted visiting Madrid, concretely the REAL MADRID CF "Santiage Bernabeu" offices. Italian websites are the news sources & they suspect that the Italian Club is looking for possible defensive reinforcements as Milan is way down the Serie A ladder & has experienced heavy defeats of late with defensive mistakes

RAUL ALBIOL & RICARDO CARVALHO were the main talks, along with KAKA. The former are getting very little playing time, while Kaka has always been a return of the "prodigal son" situation.

At this point its all rumour, there is maybe some suspicion in the air seeing the "Winter Transfer Market " is only 6-7 weeks away, & signings & loan options will happen as they always do season after season. Perhaps Galliani was in Madrid for some shopping, what type ...
