Nope, he's still at CSKA and I think it would take a steep price for them to sell him. If he does leave though, I don't think he should go to the EPL, since like many Russian players his game would be better suited to Italy or Spain.
I mean look what the EPL did to ma boi Arshavin, now he's not even good enough to get a call up to the national team.
EDIT: Speaking of the national team, if there are any NI gaffers here, prepare to be whooped on the 7th. Capello is gonna bring the pain.
Pardew is in!

yeah i was a huge arshavin fan since euro 2008. Didnt you guys beat holland there? I have a dutch cousin and her dad is a massive JT so i like to see them lose. Colombians are the same way theres only 1 in England and thats sorry ass rodallega. We do great in spain, italia and portugal.
It's not, some reports in Spain state that Ronaldo's relationship with other players, specifically Marcelo, is strained - that Ronaldo doesn't feel appreciated enough, and that he feels alone.
Also, a couple reports mention that Ronaldo met with Florentino on Saturday to say that he doesn't feel comfortable and wants to leave.
Of course this is Spanish media . . . so take all of this with a grain of salt.

Yes, yes we did. Best national team accomplishment since I've been following them. Gave me so much false hope. Arshavin, Bilya, Super Pav, and Zhirkov all went to England and ruined their careers and the national team too. And now we're in a qualifying group with Portugal for the world cup
:lol you motherfuckers argued for quite a few pages.
she get sent off? because even if thats her own player she should have been.......
I, for one, welcome our new russian oligarch overlords.

'The fact that Rodgers was then talking about the possibility of Carroll returning to Liverpool in January almost before he has unpacked his suitcase in London underscores how flawed those final hours were and how frustrated manager and supporters have been left'

Really?
Also could Liverpool not recall Caroll? Or did Rodgers forget to learn how to do that via FM ?
Because West Ham paid an upfront fee of £1million Liverpool are not allowed to simply recall him.
Show me Adriano under performing on a consistent basis first
Cesc on the other hand, I am unsure of. Yeah he scores/assists yada yada yada. But his general play is so bad, Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta make his play look like he is Charlie Adam in comparison. It's so frustrating seeing how even Thiago is better suited for Barca. I have yet to see anything to suggest he can replace Xavi, maybe in his dreams. Maybe.
I completely agree, Adrianno does a good job when hes played at left back, not a spectacular player but he gets the job done. Fabregas has been a complete disappointment, he started well last season but somewhere around World Club Championship his form dipped tremendously. He missed 2 clear chances for goals today, the chip that went wide left and what was essentially an empty netter that he launched all the way to Mallorca. As you mentioned his skill on the ball is nowhere close to the other Barca midfielders and once Thiago gets healthy I don't see Fabregas playing much.

shit our accomplishments suck too. we tied germany in our group in 1990, beat argentina 5-0 in qualifying for the 94 world cup, and won the 2001 copa america cos Argentina didnt show up cos they said it wasnt safe, lol. fucking uruguay is our bogeyman now and we play friday :|
oh yeah and we killed 1 of our players because he scored an own goal in the world cup. also, i like newcastle because el tino asprilla played for them

The worst part is though is the flashes of potential we get sometimes. We played really well in qualifying for 2010 World Cup, won all our games except the two against Germany and even in those games we more than held our own. Then we go to a playoff and choke against Slovenia in the return leg. Then the Euros this year, dominate the Czechs in the first game then choke in the last group game against Greece.
I could accept it if the team was just plain bad I know it's not which makes it so much worse.
btw, what's up with Falcao's underwhelming scoring record for the national team?
Anyone Ronaldo is having trouble with will be booted out. This is their star player.

Sounds like both of our countries are choke artists and under achievers. With Falcao he plays too far back on the national team and tries to build up play instead of playing as a pure 9. our players up front are young so maybe he doesnt trust them and his boy guarin is injury prone. we have a really good goalkeeper and he has kept us in it in this qualifying for brasil.
Falcao missed a penalty in the copa america last year too which was soul crushing because we were eliminated by peru in extra time. we are just a cheap football federation that wont splurge on a real coach. in many ways we and argentina have the same problems.
james rodriguez is only like 21 and he shows more promise than even falcao. love that kid.

Yeah... Just no. Unless you're talking groundsmen and receptionists.
weird. i thought ronaldo and marcelo were bros.
Pahaha
Well that game had everything.
Scholes - he dug united out the deep stuff today. How long can he keep doing it for? HAS to be replaced when he decides to retire for good.
More than likely will retire end of the season.
Well I hope a replacement is United's priority. No more strikers or wingers
Diabe - is he the closest thing any other team has to Yaya? He looked great against Liverpool.
Well I hope a replacement is United's priority. No more strikers or wingers
CM and a left sided mentalist with pace and tricks.
Another weekend, another game.
Last Saturdaynight, we went to ''An evening of NAC'', which is the popular saying for playing at NAC Breda on a saturdayevening, they are known for their great home-support.
It was a mediocre game, in which FC Utrecht was dominating almost the entire match, but the first and almost only chance of NAC Breda went in due to bad defending and a well-placed shot.
Utrecht made some changes, bringing in Tommy Oar for injured Nana Asare, and Zambian striker Jacob Mulenga came in for Cedric van der Gun, and these two were just what we needed to play forward more, resulting in the 1-1 by Swedish international Alexander Gerndt after a great crosspass from Mulenga.
We had quite some more chances but unfortunately none went in.
So in the end, NAC Breda - FC Utrecht 1-1.

Yep, he said after the game that due to his bad first touch, he tripped and fell.
Good thing he scored in the 2nd half though, he is a good striker imo.

I actually agree with you here Wooden(rare moment!
). Out of all our players, if we were to get relegated: I think Puyol, Messi and Valdes would stay. Not 100% sure on the rest(Iniesta, Busquets, Xavi, Cuenca etc would probably stay but I wouldn't bet my life on it). Xavi I guess would stay now considering his age and I can't really see Iniesta going anywhere else.
Puyol is Barca, Messi, has said countless times, before Barca even became extremely successful that he owes everything to the club and won't leave unless he is told he is not needed(who knows if he genuinely means it, though I am pretty sure he does), Valdes would never leave seeing as no-one would want him and he too is very loyal to the club. etc.
I can't believe that we seriously prefer Thiago over Cesc, imagine how gooners would feel reading that lol.
I just don't think he is good enough....yet(I hope), before someone pulls out stats, stats don't show you how good/bad players are, Cesc probably has better stats but I would rather have Iniesta playing with the flu while wearing an eye-patch. I still hope he proves me wrong and does something other than score/assist(which even that he isn't doing much anymore).
I highly doubt that story is true, too. Didn't it come from the Daily Fail?
And on a sidenote, Robben's missed penalty didn't lose the game single handedly. It was still very early in extra time.
Gomes and Cudicini are to be loaned to the Championship now that Lloris has arrived. A bit of rough and tumble down there will be good for them, if Gomes does well he might be able to convince a decent side to take a punt next summer.
If Drogba is seriously available I have to say I'd like Rodgers to consider a short term deal, so long as its reasonable, financially. Even if he was just a backup to take the pressure off of Suarez and Borini, I'd be fine with it.
More likely that we're looking at Klasnic, though. Rodgers did seem to hint pretty heavily that we'd be looking to bring someone in for the interim on a free.

You send Cesc back to Arsenal and you'll see just how good he is. Really really good.
Wait what? how old is flacao as chelski had been nowt but a mid table cup run side for donkeys years before the russian came in.
Agreed with FM yes, FIFA no. FM does a good job with transfer budgets, points deductions, administration etc, FIFA's just fun.
Id love to see him back at man yooo and i aint even a fan. Hes up there with gazza, cantona, bergkamp and henry as the best players ive seen live id love to see him live again.

It was about not paying Newcastle and Sunderland 49million quid again. So yeah, cutting costs.
