thought he actually looked quite good on the left wing for Barcodes last season - good enough to force Duff into playing as a left back. 

Duff was moved to LB as they didnt have another fit one in the club not because Jonas was good

I'm getting impatient

El Villarreal quiere a Poulsen para el centro del campo

• · El internacional danés estuvo a punto de ser amarillo hace tres temporadas · El interés de la Vecchia Signora por Rossi le puede acercar a El Madrigal

 

El Villarreal está dispuesto a salir con fuerza esta semana al mercado para cerrar su plantilla. Los traspasos de Nihat, Matías Fernández, Antonio Valencia e, incluso, lo cobrado por Pellegrini tras su marcha al Real Madrid, 4 millones de euros, han dotado de una liquidez inesperada hace varias semanas a las arcas del club.

De esta forma, pese a que no se variará la política de fichar poco este verano, sí que es cierto que esta inyección permite afrontar operaciones de importancia en los puestos clave del equipo. Una de ellas representa recuperar un viejo sueño incumplido por el Villarreal: el fichaje del danés Christian Poulsen.

Hace tres temporadas, el jugador estuvo en la agenda amarilla antes de recalar en el Sevilla. Es más, en aquel momento se llegó a asegurar que el futbolista había alcanzado ya un acuerdo con el club amarillo para incorporarse en el momento que finalizase su compromiso con el Schalke 04 alemán.

El jugador no se ha acoplado al fútbol italiano y busca una salida inmediata

Tras una rocambolesca negociación, donde su representante jugó a varias bandas con el propio Villarreal y el Milan, el danés acabó en el Sevilla. En la presente temporada, las cosas no le han ido todo lo bien que el futbolista esperaba en el Calcio italiano y busca una salida.

Tras pagar 10 millones de euros por él el pasado verano, el futbolista llegó a la Juve como una apuesta personal de Claudio Ranieri. La destitución del técnico y su mala temporada lo relegaron a un segundo plano, hasta el punto de que tanto el club como el futbolista estén decididos a no continuar. Es más, la Juve ha llegado a aceptar ofertas por el internacional danés que no se han concretado al no ser del agrado del jugador. En concreto, Poulsen ha dicho no al Fenerbahçe, que llegó a poner sobre la mesa de la Juventus 18 millones de euros.

El Tottenham, interesado
Los amarillos no se plantean llegar a esas cifras y la Juve sabe que las ofertas que lleguen por el jugador poco tendrán que ver con la ofrecida por los turcos. Junto al Villarreal, el Tottenham se presenta como uno de los principales rivales. Los de El Madrigal, de todas formas, quieren jugar sus bazas y esperan que la Vecchia Signora acepte la posibilidad de recaudar menos de lo invertido hace una temporada.

A favor del Villarreal juega el interés de los turineses en Rossi. Pese a que la Juve renunció a llegar a las cifras demandadas por el Villarreal, el interés por Poulsen podría dar una nueva dimensión. Los italianos, según la prensa italiana, estarían dispuestos a conseguir una opción preferencial de cara al futuro por el joven delantero y los amarillos podrían jugar sus bazas.

Villarreal wants to Poulsen for the midfield

     * The Danish international was about to be yellow for three seasons of interest by Vecchia Signora Rossi can bring El Madrigal

 

Villarreal are willing to leave this week to force the market to close your template. Transfers of Nihat, Matías Fernández, Antonio Valencia, and even charged for the Pellegrini after his departure to Real Madrid, 4 million, have given an unexpected cash flow for several weeks into the coffers of the club.

In this way, despite the absence of policy vary little sign this summer, it is true that this deal allows injection operations in the key importance of the team. One is to recover an old dream by Villarreal failed: the signing of the Danish Christian Poulsen.

For three seasons, the player was on the agenda before calling yellow in Seville. Furthermore, the time came to make sure that the player had already reached agreement with the club to join in the yellow time to complete his commitment to German Schalke 04.

The player has not been linked to Italian football and seeks an immediate exit

After a negotiation rocambolesca, where his band played a number with the Milan and Villarreal, the Danish ended in Seville. In this season, things have not gone so well that the player expected in Italian Calcio and seeks a way out.

After paying 10 million euros for him last summer, the footballer arrived at Juventus as a personal stake for Claudio Ranieri. The dismissal of the technician and his bad season so relegated to the background, so that both the club and the player are determined not to continue. Moreover, Juve have come to accept offers for the Danish international who have not liked to be the player. Specifically, Poulsen has said no to Fenerbahçe, who came to put on the table of Juventus 18 million euros.

Tottenham, interested
The yellows are not arriving at these figures and Juve know that the offers that arrive by the player will have little to do with that offered by the Turks. Next to Villarreal, Tottenham is one of the main rivals. The El Madrigal, however, want to play their assets and expect the Vecchia Signora accept the possibility of collecting less than it spent a season ago.

A play for Villarreal in Turin interest in Rossi. Although the Juve resigned to the figures demanded by Villarreal, interest Poulsen could give a new dimension. The Italians, according to Italian press, be prepared to get a preferential option for the future by the young striker and could play his yellow cards.

Yeah no shit sherlock, I always thought Duff was a left back... just because he got shifted out of position doesn't mean Jonas wasn't playing well.

Spurs face new rivals in winger swoop

Aston Villa are reportedly weighing up a swoop for Middlesbrough winger Stewart Downing, who is a long-term Tottenham target.

Spurs were lambasted by Boro for trying to lure the England international away from the Riverside in January when they were involved in a relegation battle. However having dropped into the Championship, the Teessiders opened the door for Downing to make a move to the Londoners last month.

The main obstacle to a £10million transfer is the broken foot which is set to sideline Downing until around October. And that could put Spurs boss Harry Redknapp off making a bid now until he sees how well his recovery goes.

In the meantime Villa boss Martin O'Neill is reportedly ready to try and take Downing to Villa Park on a loan deal with a view to a permanent transfer. That would allow the player to recover from his injury and then try and impress the Midlands outfit into making the switch full-time next summer.

The problem with that scenario is Boro are looking for hard cash to rebuild their squad for a promotion battle and would no doubt prefer to sell Downing now even if it means dropping the asking price to take into account the risk involved over his injury.

All in good time mate, all in good time. In Harry, we trust.

No, I hadn't realised this, but as you live in Enfield and I live in Waltham Cross we tend to get our news later being a more northern town.

So us and Villa are the only other "European contenders" who haven't signed anyone yet.

There's a bit more on Maxi Rodriguez in some of the Spanish papers this morning...

A couple of days ago it was reported that Atleti are trying to convince him to accept an offer, rather than sit out the final year of his contract. Today AS are following that up by saying that the club are using the World Cup as a stick to beat him with, telling Maxi that Abel Resino doesn't see him as a key player at all and that too much time on the bench this season will dash any hopes the player has of playing for the Argies in South Africa.

AS also says that Fenerbahce are interested, but Atleti sources think it will be easier to persuade him to move to the Prem as he doesn't fancy Turkey at all. They go on to say that the best offer on the table is Spur's €12 million bid.

(My own view -  It is true that Maxi is for sale, AS seem to be using Mundo Deportivo's story of a few days ago as the sole source of this Spurs bid - yet even Mundo Deportivo don't seem too convinced of the truth in this: as yesterday they contradicted themselves by publishing that there had been no significant bids for Maxi in an article about a lack of funds at the Vicente Calderon. My gut feeling is that this bid sounds very, very high for an opening salvo from Spurs  for a player on the transer list with just one year left on his contract....so in other words its more a case of Atleti telling the world that they are open to offers and they would optimistically like the bidding to start at €12 million and are leaking these reports of this offer from Spurs)

Anything on Pirlo -> Atletico/Spurs/Chelsea?

Anything on Pirlo -> Atletico/Spurs/Chelsea?

Only the stuff in Marca this morning, saying that Atleti want Pirlo and he wants to go to Atleti ahead of Chelsea.....

Problem is for Atleti, they simply havent got the cash and the credit crunch has affected their finances badly as they are trying to fund this new stadium of theirs...so yes, it all comes down to the same thing with regard the Maxi story: ie Atleti want to sell to raise money and Maxi is up for grabs...I'm just not sure if Spurs have really bid that much, if anything at all.

Incidentally, there is a story in one of the local Seville papers on Diddly Zokora - its written by a guy who is very close to Sevilla and pretty reliable - says that talks are still ongoing with Spurs - and going very well despite the public perception that they don't get on -  and that the two sides are edging closer to a deal. Spurs started out asking for €14 million, Sevilla offered €6...now the two sides are closing in on a fee somewhere in the middle. Sevilla have just offered €8.5, Spurs are going down to around €10.5. Paper very confident that the deal will be done as both clubs very much want it to happen, and so does the player - who has already agreed everything with Sevilla.

Very small snippet, in the paper edition of Marca, not online, claiming that Negredo's agents had talks with Spurs in London yesterday ( they also had meetings with Liverpool, Genoa and Roma this week as well)
