Genoa. Been mentioned what with yon Tiara going there, but also beaten off supposedly bigger clubs to sign Portugal keeper Eduardo, and now Rafinha, third in line of the Brazilian rampaging right backs. Dark horse for top four in Italy next year?

Seems that way.. Only them making any splashes in the Market over there. Fiorentina have to follow suit with that Bosnian lad out for most of the season..

Looking forward to seeing some of their matches

Manchester United have pulled off a surprising coup by signing Portuguese striker Bébé for £7.4m.

The 20 year-old arrives at Old Trafford from Portuguese club Vitória de Guimarães, with United having agreed to pay the buyout clause to release Bébé from his five-year contract.

The player – a relative unknown outside his native country – only arrived at Guimarães in July, and it is a mark of Sir Alex Ferguson’s enthusiasm that he was prepared to spend that sort of sum on a player who has spent most of his career playing in the Portuguese third division.

signing players from lower divisions - sheer madnes, I've been told!

Gabriele Marcotti has noted that the player went for free in the summer. Interestingly odd transfer.

Strange fact about 'Bebe'.. He played in the "Homeless World Cup" for portugal a couple of seasons ago.

Only signed for Guimaraes 5 weeks ago.. Looks like Fergies scout dropped a b*llock on this one and didn't notice him move on!

Will SAF deploy him as a box to box midfielder?

I do love SSN on Deadline Day...

"Stoke City have signed three HUGE new players....... Jermaine Pennant, Marc Wilson and Eidur Gudjohnsen."

Earth shattering.

"Tottenham fans are still watching Bryan, why do you think they can still hold out hope of signing Van Der Vaart when the transfer window is closed?"

You can all fill in your own answer to that question.

£13m from Sunderland on a striker - throwing their big club weight around. Wonder if he's any good away from home?

Tombwfc · Post by **Tombwfc** » Tue Aug 31, 2010 7:40 pm

Scoring record in France is worse than Elmander's.

£13mil on a sub-conference player, for shame.....

Don't get excited fella, think that was more of a dig at our lot who describe Elmander as a Conference player
