Ok, it`s been a while so let`s wrap up the official
stories.
First of all, the story of the month is Edinson Cavani going
to PSG for a mere 63 million euros. The saga is over. No Real and no City for
him. Apparently money talks, and altough City and Real do have the cash, Les
Parisiens have more. And they showed it.It will be interesting to watch him
with Ibra, if Ibra decides to stay, of course. Monaco and PSG are going to play
one hell of a derby in France this year. One thing is for sure - Cavani will
score a lot of goals.
Aurelio De Laurentis, Napoli president, said that City
didn`t want to match his asking price. Frankly i can understand their desicion
- but to spend that money on two players (Negredo and Jovetic) that are
realistically lower class then Cavani is a questionable desicion. We will see
if the 27m spent on tallented Jovetić is justified, but 25m for Negredo sounds
inflated. Luckily for Sevilla, he had his best season behind him, so they
seized their chance to monetize. Pellegrini is a man who can turn average
players into excellent team members (Joaquin, Toulalan, Eliseu..). And by
looking at Isco`s develoopment he surely can help young stars.
As for their United neighbours, they are quiet for now, and
except Zaha and a rejected Fabregas bid they hadn`t been doing anything but
talking about Rooney. Moyes stands firm and repeats that he`s not for sale but
on the other hand says that he is a backup striker for RVP. And i think we all
know that Wayne Rooney doesn`t like being a backup. He is England first choice
striker//support striker so he won`t be sitting on the bench for long. Chelsea
made a formal bid, and i don`t know where and how he would play there alongside
Lukaku, Demba, Torres and Schurrle but i think Jose knows that Shrek is too
much of a chance to miss it. And if he gets him someone is heading to the exit
door.
Barca sold one of their prize Masia assets to Bayern. Thiago
Alcantara reunited with Pep Guardiola. Bad move, by all means. If there is one
club where a midfielder can`t get lot of playing time, except Barcelona, it is
Bayern. Schweini, Gustavo, Martinez, Kroos, Muller, Gotze. I don`t know where
he thinks he will fit in and who he`s gonna dump out of starting XI. He could
do the same in Barca but that`s his desicion and we`ll see if he`s done it
right.
One club that really surprised me with great moves is
Juventus. Llorente came for free, Tevez came for 11m + bonuses and icing on the
cake came with Ogbonna, great defender who arrived from Torino for 15m. They
will destroy Serie A, that`s for sure so all that is left is a strike on
Champions League. Another important (and a bit sad) news comes from Italy.
Legendary owner Massimo Moratti apparently sold the biggest stake in Inter to
Indonesian magnate Erick Thohir. Seventeen year old reign is coming to an end,
and altough he had his downs, he is a legendary face in world football, a true
fan that did everything for his club. Inter has some financial issues and
Thohir is there to solve them.
