who? Robinho fulfils Madrid 'dream'
Thursday, 21 July 2005
Real Madrid CF have reached an agreement with Santos FC to sign Brazilian forward Robinho for €24m, the club announced on Thursday.
Fee compromise
The deal has been mooted ever since the player helped Brazil to the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup, with Robinho refusing to train or play for Santos after they rejected an initial Madrid bid - saying they wanted his full buy-out clause worth more than €41m. However, a compromise has been reached, with the player waiving his 40 per cent share of that sell-on amount. He underwent a medical in Brazil on Thursday.
Deal confirmed
Madrid's director of communications Antonio García Ferreras said: "We will pay €24m, that is 60 per cent of the buy-out clause. The other 40 per cent should be paid to the player and his agent but they will forego their share." The fee has been deposited with the Confederation of Brazilian football.
Dream fulfilled
Wagner Ribeiro, the 21-year-old's agent, added: "Robinho is just waiting for a transfer certificate to travel. He waived the 40 per cent to which he was entitled to be able to fulfil his dream of playing for Real Madrid."
'Ideal country'
Robinho himself had said: "Spain is an ideal country for Brazilian players and I know Real coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo very well. My mind is at Real Madrid." His new club's UEFA Champions League bid begins in the third qualifying round, with the draw made on Friday week. 07月22日 祖亞利斯 後 巴西 博洛尼亞(意大利) 烏甸尼斯(意大利) 自由轉會 轉會
:icon112: Bordeaux have signed Fernando Menegazzo on a year's loan from Siena.
The 24-year-old could make a permanent move to the Stade Chaban-Delmas should he impress over the next 12 months.
Menegazzo, a defensive midfielder, who has been capped at Under-21 level by Brazil, spent time last term on loan with Catania.
The Samba star is the club's third capture recently following the arrivals of South American duo Edixon Perea and Alejandro Alonso.
Menegazzo spent just two seasons with Siena having joined from Brazilian outfit Juventude. Lokomotiv Moscow have signed midfielder Aleksandr Samedov for €3.4 million.
The Russia Under-21 starlet was a regular for Spartak Moscow last term making nearly 30 appearances, but decided it was time to move on.
Spartak coach Aleksandrs Starkovs revealed his sadness at losing the services of the 21-year-old.
"I am very sad to see Samedov leave Spartak," said Starkovs.
"We felt the team's future lay with him, but he has decided to go." Originally posted by 國米~魂 at 2005-7-23 02:58:

文歷加素..遠射好強:icon101: Desailly moves on
Marcel Desailly has left Qatari champions Al-Gharafa to join rivals Qatar Sports Club (QSC).
The 37-year-old joined Al-Gharafa last season and helped them to their fourth title with six goals in 27 games.
However, he has decided to move on for a new challenge and will be joined at QSC by another former Premiership player in Ali Benarbia.
The ex-Manchester City schemer quit Al-Rayyan to make the move and QSC have expressed their delight at landing the duo.
"We are happy that these two fine players have agreed to join us. I think we now have a formidable line-up," said Sheikh Jassem bin Hamad Al Thani, QSC's director of football.
QSC were keen to bolster their ranks, having lost Argentine World Cup winner Claudio Caniggia at the end of last season. Metz have swooped to sign West Bromwich Albion and Rangers target Szabolcs Huszti.
The Hungary international has put pen to paper on a three-year deal at Stade St Symphorien following his departure from Ferencvaros on a free transfer.
The 22-year-old midfielder was a target of Baggies boss Bryan Robson while Scottish champions Rangers were showing interest in the Eastern European wing back.
Greek giants Panathinaikos were also mentioned in connection with Huszti, but the player has opted to continue his career in France's Ligue 1 with Metz.
Metz boss Joel Muller, meanwhile, is also thought to be trialing an attacking midfielder in the form of Zambia international Christopher Katongo.
Katongo had been plying his trade in South Africa with Jomo Cosmos, whom he joined from Zambian club Green Buffaloes.
Real Eye Rob 'N Ry
Robert Pires and Ryan Giggs are being considered by Real Madrid as short-term solutions to strengthen their left wing. The Spanish giants want a big-name signing after selling Santiago Solari to Inter Milan. Real director of football Arrigo Sacchi said: “We are lacking a left midfielder.” Pires, 32, is determined to leave Arsenal after being denied a new two-year deal, while 31-year-old Giggs’ place at Manchester United is under threat from Park Ji-Sung. Real will fancy Giggs as part of a £15million deal for Michael Owen if United make a bid for the striker.Eric Beauchamp, The Sun

邦比其實都冇乜迫切性去簽多名後衛:icon011: Celtic confirm Nakamura
Celtic have confirmed the signing of Shunsuke Nakamura from Reggina.
Nakamura becomes Celtic's seventh summer signing, as new manager Gordon Strachan looks to put his stamp on the side.
The Japan international has agreed a three-year deal with The Bhoys, and will be keen to show that he can make the grade in Scotland.
Strachan was overjoyed to sign the 27-year-old, insisting that the Celtic fans would quickly be won over by his creativity.
"Once he's out on the pitch, I'm sure our fans will realise very quickly why we were so keen to secure his signature," Strachan told the club's official website. "He's a very special talent.
"He's a player who can bring an extra dimension to any team, and having done our homework on him and asked many people about his background and temperament, we are delighted the deal has been done.
"I've no doubt it's going to prove a great bit of business for Celtic, and I'm looking forward to him pulling on the hoops and showing our fans why we have worked so hard to bring him here."

Benny Feilhaber: UCLA->Hamburg
HSV COMPLETE FEILHABER SWOOPBundesliga side Hamburg have finally landed U.S. Under-20 National Team midfield ace Benny Feilhaber, with the youngster signing a three-year deal after completion of his Friday afternoon medical.
The erstwhile UCLA Bruin explained that despite several attractive options, he opted for Hamburger Sport-Verein because it was where he felt the most comfortable.
"I like the people," Feilhaber told YA Friday evening. "I like the city and I just seemed to fit in. The team is high quality and I feel like I can produce and become a high quality player here."
"I just met (coach Thomas Doll) today and he seemed like a really energetic and a really nice guy."
The northerners begin league play with a visit from FC Nürnberg on August 6th, but the 20-year old will begin his European odyssey with HSV Amateurs in Regionalliga. The reserves also open their seaosn the same day with a trip to FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt.
"Looks like I am going on a little run tomorrow," said Feilhaber, who was in the company of club sporting director Dietmar Beiersdorfer. "I'll be going to the (Intertoto Cup match against Uniao Leiria) tomorrow night with my family."
"I'll be training with the first team and playing at first with the second team. The first team is definitely my goal."
The move caps a meteoric rise for the Rio de Janeiro-born Californian, who went from Westwood walk-on to World Youth Championships standout in just under two years.
Feilhaber's stellar play during the Baby Nats' run to the round of 16 kicked off a mini-bidding war, with four clubs making an offer to father Alberto during a whirlwind early-July tour of the continent.
"There was another team in Germany, in the Bundesliga, a team in Spain and a team in Holland," he revealed, not wanting to give too much away. "I saw the other rumors, but the there were really only four teams."
Feilhaber then helped the USA to a runner up finish at the Maccabi Games in Israel before returning to Germany to determine his professional fate.
The new signing will now apply for an Austrian passport through his paternal grandfather so as not to count against Bundesliga non-European Union roster limits.
Hamburg are a storied German side with seven domestic crowns to their credit, as well as 1977 Cup Winners Cup and 1983 European Cup titles.
The AOL Arena club finished a disappointing eighth last season, but have prepared for this term by acquiring Ajax star Rafael van der Vaart and Tottenham defender Thimothee Atouba, in addition to retaining hot transfer topic Daniel van Buyten. Werder close on Naldo
Werder Bremen moved one step closer in their attempts to land highly-rated Brazilian defender Naldo after learning that the 22-year-old is set to arrive in Germany this week.
The North Germans have made the youngster their number one transfer target as they are desperate to find a successor for Bayern Munich recruit Valerien Ismael, but talks with Naldo have stalled in the past weeks as several parties claimed to hold the transfer rights of the Juventude star.
Bremen’s director of sport Klaus Allofs is now keen to break the deadlock and invited the youngster to Germany.
“We have reached a frame-work agreement with him and he will now come and take a look at our facilities,” declared Allofs.
It is thought Allofs is ready to spend around €3 million for the promising central defender. Wolves net Tskitshvili
Georgian international Levan Tskitshvili has ended a short spell in Ukraine and returned to Germany where he signed a two-year contract with Wolfsburg.
According to reports in Wolfsburger, Wolves spent a cut-down price €300,000 for the midfielder from Metalurgs Donetsk.
''He's a versatile player, who can play in different positions, he knows the Bundesliga and he speaks German - that's why we signed him,'' managing director Thomas Strunz told the paper.
The 27-year-old had left SC Freiburg for Metalurgs only two months ago after the Breisgau side were relegated from the Bundesliga, but Tskitishvili has now opted to continue his career in Germany.
Furthermore, Wolfsburg seem set to revive their interest in KRC Genk winger Koen Daerden as the young Belgian is regarded as a possible successor to Martin Petrov.
The Bulgarian ace has joined Atletico Madrid in a €10 million move this week and Wolves are expected to reinvest large parts of the transfer sum in order to find an adequate replacement.
Daerden, who recently broke into Belgium's international team, is a transfer target for Dutch giants Feyenoord, but Wolfsburg could now be set to make a last-minute offer for the €4 million rated youngster.

勁人? Love to speed up transfer
Vagner Love will try to arrange an emergency meeting with CSKA Moscow president Yevgeni Giner, in order to smooth the way for a move to Corinthians.
The striker was sensational last season as CSKA lifted the Uefa Cup, but Love admits that he misses his family and would like to return home.
"I know that Corinthians are having many problems for negotiating with CSKA so I am going to try to have a meeting with the president to see if I can make things easier," explained Love.
"I have already spoken with him once and I told him that I have personal problems and that's why I want to return to Brazil. I want to play in my country because I miss my son a lot. He (Giner) told me to wait to see what happens but time has gone by and I haven't had any news."
The transfer window is open in Brazil until September but the player wants to get his situation resolved as soon as possible.
"I know that there is still a lot of time for being transferred...but the the thing is that I want this to get resolved as soon as possible because maybe Corinthians will get tired and decide to hire another player, and as I haven't had a proposal from any other club I don't want to miss the chance to play in Brazil.
"I want to be near my son and also play at Corinthians."
Corinthians would have to pay in the region of €8 million in order to capture the signature of Love.
http://skysports.planetfootball.com/images/playerpics04_05/football/russia/love_uefa.jpg Thomas Buffel has pledged his future to Rangers following a failed bid from Galatasaray.
The Belgium international has proved an instant hit at Ibrox after joining The Gers in a £2.5 million deal from Feyenoord back in January.
The playmaker scored five goals in 18 appearances as Rangers regained the SPL title, and lifted the CIS Insurance Cup, and his exploits caught the eye of Galatasaray.
The Turkish giants are now coached by Buffel's compatriot Erik Gerets and he made signing the schemer a priority.
Rangers insisted in June that Buffel was not for sale and they had not fielded an enquiry for the 24-year-old.
Buffel has now revealed that Gala did lodge an offer for his services, which was turned down by Rangers, and the player is happy to stay in Glasgow.
"I know there was an approach and Rangers rejected it," Buffel told the Evening Times.
"My agent informed me about it and I didn't talk to anyone from Rangers.
"Galatasaray have a Belgian manager and they talked to Rangers about me.
"But I am very happy here at Rangers. I am just looking forward to the new season."

由於馬德里體育會己收購了馬田柏度夫與及麥斯，令到干查的上陣機會減少。
干查在一月份從伯明翰轉投馬體會，不過表現平平，而季末領隊比安基上任後，干查受到重用的機會大為減少。
而史特加出售了希比及古蘭爾後，希望加入球員以補充實力。領隊查帕東尼己從AC 米蘭收購了湯馬臣。干查若加盟史特加，將可與國家隊隊友湯馬臣在球會中合作。
