VALENCIA CF DENIES THAT IT HAS AN AGREEMENT TO LET GO DAVID VILLA AT THE END OF THE SEASON 2008/09

Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, via its program “Carrusel Deportivo”
have announced that they have information that VALENCIA CF will
allow its star forward & Spanish International DAVID VILLA to leave
at the end of the season. They insinuate that their is a “pact” between
Club & player that will allow Villa to go to a “bigger” Club or seek a
change
of aires. They add however, that the player intends to stay in Spain,
thus discarting moves to Chelsea, Man City…Italy …etc.

Lets remember Real Madrid made a 40M€ offer that was stopped in the
last moment & FC Barcelona has just had its 35M€ offer
rejected as well.
It´s no secret that Valencia is in a very serious financial hole & the selling
of Villa will help them easy their balance sheet.

Valencia CF has immediately gone out via its Web to say that the news
is totally false, & rejects that there exists any pact to let the player go.
In fact, the Club comments that Villa is an important part of the Clubs

proyect & future.

No doubt this is shaping up as one of the upcoming summer end of season
transfer stories. SFS will keep an eye on things as they develope.

FC BARCELONA PLANS ITS FUTURE FORWARD LINE

The Barcelona based & pro Barça Sporting paper “Sport” publish today an
article that highlights the planification of FC BARCELONA, & in this
case, its forward line. Currently, SAMUEL ETO ´O & THIERRY
HENRY are doing the job, however the former with 28 years & offers

from half of Europe, & the latter with 32 years force some short/mild
term planning. To add to the uncertainty, Eto´o faces next year the
2010 African Cup were he will be with Camaroon & this will cause the
strike to be absent from Camp Barça for at least a month or more.

Three names have been put up, three names the “Sport” says are
on the Barça agenda, three top class goalscorers to guarantee the
upfront firepower:

1. DAVID VILLA: Barça recently made a 35M€ offer for the Valencia
star. It was rejected. Real Madrid, Manchester City, Chelsea …have
this man on their shopping list as well.

2. BENZEMA: Barça has been flirting with the Olympique de Lyon
star all year. However, the player voices his preference for Real Madrid

who have the player down for next season as well. A bidding “war”
assured.


3. ADEBAYOR: The Arsenal star nearly landed in Barcelona last summer,
he was the planned substitute for Samuel Eto´o.

Stay tuned, SFS will keep an eye on developments.

CRISTIANO RONALD “DIVORCES” HIMSELF FROM REAL MADRID : SMOKE SCREEN?

MANCHESTER UNITED Portugues star CRISTIANO RONALDO
has gone publically on the Clubs website to dismiss the news that
there exists a “secret” agreement between himself & REAL MADRID
for him to go next season. He goes further & calls the Real Directive
that leaked the news as a “liar” & adds he his happy at Manchester
& with his Football guardian angel Alex Ferguson.

This seems to indicate the Cristiano Ronaldo has finally shut the door
on Real Madrid. Do you believe this? Lets analizes further, in SFS
humble
manner.

Firstly, SFS thinks it should remind everyone that Ronaldo was extremely
close, on the verge, of going to Real Madrid last season. Press sources &
the way his actual Club reacted - Ferguson´s outragous comments against
Real Madrid & trips to Portugal - indicate that it was a done deal, so much

so, that Real Madrid risked its pre-summer planification for the 2008/09
season on his arrival. Real Madrid current playing problems stem directly
from the fact that they put all their eggs in the Cristiano Roanldo basket.
What happenned?

The “kid” did not have the balls to rebel, in plain English. The pressure
from
his Club, Coach & fans was intense, but press reports - Spanish &
Internationally - rumoured that Ferguson assured Ronaldo that if he stayed
another season he would
allow Cristiano to leave for Real Madrid for
2009/10. Immediately Real Madrid
backed off & allowed the kid to work
on his public relations strategy to win back
Club fans & press in England.

We all remember the numorous public statements last year from Ronaldo,
statements that
said his dream was to play in Spain, with Real Madrid …
etc & etc. What has occurred to let those dreams fly away? NOTHING!

SFS believes, that all this follows an agreed strategy at the start of
the season
between Ronaldo, his representative, Real Madrid & Manchseter
United, too
silence everything so everyone can concentrate on their
individual independent
& mutual objectives for the 2008/09 season:
local competitions titles & Champions League. The “accidental” leaking
from a Real Madrid representative
follows current “internal” Real Madrid
disputes at Directive levels & fanbase
containment strategies due to Real
Madrid´s terrible start & situation. All parties have political motives locally

to best use the information they have in their pocession.

What if Manchester United gets knocked out of the Champions League? If
Manchester United does´nt win FA Cup or Premier titles? If Ronaldo has a
relative poor season? SFS & many already know that Ronaldo is a very

ambitious & “egocentric” person that needs to be always on the front page &
in the limelight. The results will determine Ronaldo´s future, not Manchester
United.

Today´s Web statement is just another public relations move which could well
follow a logical
“silence code” & “smoke screen” policy in line with “secret”
pacts. Only time will
say if SFS hunch is correct, what SFS will guarantee
is that Ronlado WILL NOT
stay forever at Manchester United & will leave
when the results or objective
does not suit the Ronaldo “dreams”: titles,
fame, money & to be the greatest player
of all time. If that means leaving
Man Utd, not going finally to Real Madrid,
so be it! Ronaldo will go to
the Club
were his ambitions = dreams, fit perfectly.

REAL MADRID IN CONTACT WITH WIGAN OVER VALENCIA

News from local daily “As” report that REAL MADRID has began
contacts with English Premier League Club WIGAN in order to study

the possiblity of transferring its Ecuatorian winger LUIS ANTONIO
VALENCIA
( pictured below: courtesy of “As”)

Everyone involved in this “operation” has taken on the code of
silence to avoid possible complications. This time around Real
Madrid Directives have done some homework & Valencia is
elegible for a Champions League place.

No doubt more news will be coming out in the next coming days
on how things are developing on this front. Stay tuned!

MONEY THE OBSTACULE FOR DIARRA TO GO TO REAL MADRID

Who said Football was a Sport. It is of course in its elemental feature, but
it´s the money that
moves around, & with the round ball´s only objective
to generate
more income.

PORTSMOUTH French International midfielder is learning first hand
how the financial variables are halting his dream to join & play at REAL
MADRID.


It was a done deal last Tuesday when his Club gave the OK for Real
Madrid to shut everything with the player with its offer of 20M€.
However, Manchester City stepped in & raised the offer to 25€ with

a 8M€/year gross salary that Real Madrid are not willing too match.
At to this, that his representatives have high commission rates & you

have “overblown” sums of money that have complicated the Real
Madrid operation.

The player, according to “AS”, has returned to training & will solve his
situation in the coming days. The players only desire is to go to Real Madrid
& to do so will be a case of accepting a lower salary & his representatives

accepting lower commissions. In conclusion, what is happening is that
everyone is playing “poker” to get the maximum out of the transfer.

SFS believes that the player will follow his dream - if that is his dream - &
go to Real Madrid. With all due respect to Manchester City & its history,
it cannot be compared to Real Madrid if the professional wishes to aspire to

the highest level.

REAL MADRID 2008: DIARRA DONE DEAL & CRISTIANO RONALDO 2009

LASSANA DIARRA has the OK from his English Club PORTSMOUTH
to finish the transfer deal with REAL MADRID, after his Club shut a
20M€ transfer agreement. The official announcement & OK from the 23
year
old French International is soon to be announced.

The below image of CRISTIANO RONALDO will be for the 2008/2009
season. The local daily “El Mundo” announced the pact between Manchester
Utd & the Portugues Golden Ball winner 2008, that if he stays this season

& he would be allowed to leave for REAL MADRID at the end of June
2008, where the player wishes to go & play.

This is not the news. The news is that it was agreed between all parties
that this announcement should not be communicated until the end of
this current season, news that most media already had hinted to explain

why Ronaldo finally decided to stay in England this season.

ATLETICO DE MADRID LOOK AT BELGIUM FOR NEW BLOOD

Local paper “Marca” runs a piece on the ATLETICO DE MADRID
scouts who are looking at the Belgium Football market for future talents.
They go on to say that two names are on their minds & both are

from STANDARD LEIGE. The first is 19 year old AXEL WITSEL
(below) a defensive midfielder with goal.


The second is 20 year old STEVEN DEFOUR (below) who is a
creative midfielder, however “less” talented than the former mentioned

according to those in the “know”.

Lastly, continuing with scouting markets for new talents, Atletico de
Madrid are also eyeing French 18 year old promise SOFIANE FEGHOULI
of French Club GRENOBLE. The news is that so are Juventus, Fiorentina,

Inter, Arsenal, Chelsea & PSG following the player which gives Atletico stiff
competition.

REAL MADRID 2008: DIARRA ALMOST TIED UP

The news out of “As”, reinforced by “Marca”, is that REAL MADRID
are on the verge of shutting the transfer & signing of young French
International defensive midfielder & PORTSMOUTH player LASSANA

DIARRA.

The deal oscilates between 20M€ ( “As”) & 10M€ (”Marca”) . SFS
suspects it´s closer to the former coinciding with French media. Once
again, as with Huntelaar the last Dutch signing, the player is injuried with
his ankle, but it is not a worry at all according to the medical experts.
Stay tuned as the signing
immient.

Just out of interest, another name in the long & ever growing list
of viable players that Real Madrid are looking at, JUAN CAMILO
ZUNIGA (above) from Italian Club SIENA. The news of the interest in
the
Colombian player comes from “Marca”.

REAL MADRID: YOUNG, MANCINI, DIARRA…MORE SPECULATION

The list of players that REAL MADRID are interested in as possible
signings
keeps getting longer. In toadys local daily “Marca”, the
names of INTER MILAN Brazilian MANCINI & ASTON VILLA
winger ASHLEY YOUNG have been highlighted.

The Englishman Ashley Cole is considered the “new Beckham” &
new Coach Juande Ramos likes the player. The only handicap is
that Aston Villa asks for 30M€ which maybe a bit steep for Real
at this time of the year.

The other name is Mancini who is not getting a run with his team
Inter Milan & this could be enough to for the Italian team to consider
getting back
on it´s investment.

Lastly, it´s been said here before, that defensive PORTSMOUTH
midfielder LASSANA DIARRA is looking strong & is a serious contender.
The English Club ask for around 20M€
