Marseille chairman Vincent Labrune confirmed this morning that the club have agreed a deal with Chelsea for Cesar Azpilicueta
Azpilicueta deal thought to be in region of €7-8million although the details remain undisclosed.

 

Antonio Cassano and Giampaolo Pazzini have now switched clubs
Cassano, 30, was at training with Inter and Pazzini, 28, with Milan on Wednesday morning and, following successful medicals, the Rossoneri announced the news on their official website.

A statement read: "AC Milan announces that it has acquired outright from FC Internazionale Giampaolo Pazzini and simultaneously has sold Antonio Cassano outright to FC Internazionale."

It is believed that Milan have paid Inter a fee in the region of €7 million as part of the deal, which came to pass after Cassano had grown disenchanted with the club after seeing the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva depart.

Inter welcomed their newest signing with a brief message on their own site. It read: "Today is the first day of Antonio Cassano's adventure at Inter. This morning the striker arrived at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti, where Andrea Stramaccioni and captain Javier Zanetti were waiting to welcome him."

Pazzini's new team-mate, and long-term friend, Riccardo Montolivo was full of praise on Tuesday for his side's capture of the striker.

"As a person he is splendid and we have been friends for many years," he told Milan Channel. "Together we won the Coppa Italia Primavera with the Atalanta youth team, playing together for that club, at Fiorentina, in the Under-21 Italy side and for la Nazionale.

"It's wonderful to meet up here, at the club with the most trophies in the world, especially as I feel our squad is missing a player exactly like him.

 

Sunderland have agreed a fee with Wolves for wantaway striker Steven Fletcher fee between £12m to £15m

 

What a waste of money.

 

Not for a Martin O'Neill team its not.

Mignolet
O'Shea Brown Cuellar Bardsley
Larsson Cattermole Gardner McClean
Sessegnon
Fletcher

All hardworking players, they'll keep games tight and have half a team of guys capable of scoring from corners or freekicks with the delivery of Larsson or Richardson. Could do with a big centre-mid though and a right or left back.

It's not really a quality squad but I wouldnt be suprised to see O'Neill getting them 10th place. He has a great record against the top teams, usually because his team are capable, like Everton last night of defending well and scoring from set peices.
​

 

Madness that. Milan need to strengthen, so they swap a good striker with a slightly less good striker.

re;Fletcher, they needed him. Sessegnon is not a striker, he'll be good there, even if he cost too much

 

I'm shocked at some of the prices Marseille are selling players for. Ayew had the potential to be a world class player at letting him go for 5 million Euros is ridiculous, also they got almost nothing for Diarra and probably will get less than 10 million Euros for Cesar. Makes me sad, Marseille are my favorite French club.

 

They are skinto

Christian Poulsen has agreed a deal to sign with Ajax. Will become official once he passes a medical. Contract to 2014 LoL

Former Chelsea and Juventus star Adrian Mutu is set to finalise a move to France with Ajaccio. He was released by Serie B club Cesena.


Jesus Navas to Arsenal rumours denied by Sevilla director of sport Monchi.

 

Carvalho & Dawson, QPR obviously looking at tightening up the defence after the weekend. That partnership could be effective at a bigger team IMO.

 

Poulsen used to be a really solid player but he is well past his best now by a good 3 years at least. Looking at Ajax team recently though they do need experienced players as its just like a big mix-up of young players.

 

And on top of that I believe the deal is Cassano plus money (7m euros) for Pazzini.

 

Good signing for MON
