Official: Menez To Join Roma Tomorrow

Attacking midfielder Menez is one of the best young talents in France, and he has been compared by some to the legendary Zinedine Zidane.

France Football claimed this morning that Roma officials met with their Monaco counterparts to thrash out a deal late last night, and that Menez will move to the Italian side for €14m.

Goal.com got their journalists on the case, and managed to contact Menez’ agent Jean-Pierre Bernes by telephone.

"I do not know if Jeremy will be in Rome, I can not say anything about it," Bernes initially replied.

However, when pressed on the matter, he finally admitted that "Yes, we will probably be in Rome tomorrow."

In an interview with Rete Sport, Bernes went even further and admitted openly that Menez would be signing for Roma tomorrow.

"There is an agreement with Monaco and the player,” he confirmed.

“The move will become official tomorrow. Menez is happy. He has also been requested by other major European clubs but I can not disclose who."

News of this imminent transfer is sure to delight Roma fans, who can now content themselves with two big name signings this summer, the other being Real Madrid’s Julio Baptista.

Site-ul oficial al celor de la Bayern isi aminteste ca echipa bavareza nu a invins niciodata pe Steaua. Nemtii isi amintesc ca "ros-albastri" au facut de doua ori egal cu Bayern, in 1972.

"Prima intalnire intre echipele romanesti si cele nemtesti s-a petrecut in 1972, in Cupa Campionilor Europeni, cand Steaua a terminat 1-1 si 0-0 cu Bayern, iar o victorie in fata romailor este inca in asteptare. Chiar si asa, Steaua ramane un adeversar neplacut, 28.000 de spectatori ard pe stadionul din Ghencea, 'Templul fotbalului romanesc', iar nicio echipa din Romania nu a avut atata succes."
Nemtii isi aduc aminte ca Steaua a terminat ultima in grupa cu Arsenal, Sevilla, Slavia.

Oddo: It All Happened So Fast

After having completed his first training session for Bayern Munich, Italian international Massimo Oddo has declared his decision to sign for the German giants as the best he could have made.

"It's all happened incredibly fast. I need to organise a few personal matters," he told FCB.tv, confirming that he will not be available for the next match against Hertha Berlin.

"I knew I was moving to a big club with a great team, but now I'm here and I've seen everything for myself, it's all completely positive," he added, before shedding light on some details surrounding how his deal was reached.

"We were in touch last year but nothing came of it," Oddo revealed, "but I wanted to leave Milan this summer and a number of clubs were interested. That's when Bayern revived their interest.“

"Coming here was the best decision I could have made.

"I want to prove I'm worth my wages," he added, "although I can only do that with the support of the whole team.“

"My first impression is that we have a very strong squad.“

Criză la Şahtior Doneţk

Mircea Lucescu este la al patrulea meci consecutiv fără victorie în campionat. Mircea Lucescu are probleme serioase la Şahtior! După şapte etape disputate în noul sezon, „minerii” nu au strâns decât şapte puncte, insuficient pentru a-l mulţumi pe patronul Ahmetov, obişnuit cu aerul tare al primelor locuri din clasament. Ultima piedică în calea lui „Il Luce“ a fost Metalurg Zaporoje, formaţie ce a plecat ieri neînvinsă de pe terenul campioanei Ucrainei. Şahtior a condus cu 2-0 la pauză (goluri Fernandinho şi Selezniov), după un joc frumos, şi se părea că jucătorii antrenorului român au depăşit în sfârşit pasa proastă pe care o traversează de etape bune. Însă oaspeţii au lovit de două ori în partea secundă şi i-au stricat încă un weekend lui Lucescu.

Doar şapte puncte după şapte etape a strâns echipa din Doneţk, fapt ce dă frâu liber speculaţiilor cu privire la o posibilă demitere a românului. De altfel, presa italiană a scris de curând că Ahmetov l-a ofertat pe tehnicianul celor de la AC Milan, Carlo Ancelotti, căruia i-a oferit un contract de zece milioane de euro pe an.

11 este locul ocupat de Şahtior după şapte etape, „minerii” având un bilanţ dezas�*truos: o victorie, patru egaluri şi două înfrângeri

Belgium´s Mpenza joins Plymouth

Belgium international Emile Mpenza has signed for Championship side Plymouth on a one-year deal, the team confirmed on Tuesday.

The former Manchester City striker joins as a free agent.

Plymouth manager Paul Sturrock said: "He is an international striker and they don't exactly fall off trees. He brings experience to the front line and gives us something different to what we have had before.

"He is a big, strong boy and he has done it, seen it and got the t-shirt. He played in the Premiership 25 times last year and we are delighted to have that kind of standard here.

"His agent came to us and we have been haggling with them for a while. He has got phenomenal strength and I couldn't believe when we got the opportunity to sign him, but he is here now and we are looking forward to it."

Mpenza, 30, was released by Manchester City in July, having scored five goals in 25 appearances for the Premier League club.

Rajkovic receives one-year ban after spitting incident

World governing body FIFA have suspended Serbian Slobodan Rajkovic for no less than a year, following a spitting incident at the Olympics in China.

During the match with Argentina, Rajkovic spit referee Abdullah Al Hilali in the face.

Rajkovic plays on loan from Chelsea at Dutch club FC Twente. The suspension also affects club football, meaning a big blow to the team currently led by Steve McClaren.

Chelsea and Twente, as well as the Serbian football association have announced to appeal. The Serbian FA reacted saying: "He made a mistake, but this suspension goes too far."

Recoba, la Panionios!

Alvaro Recoba va juca în Grecia. După ce şi-a terminat contractul cu Inter, Alvaro Recoba a semnat un contract cu echipa care a terminat pe locul 5 anul trecut în campionatul elen. Anunţul a fost făcut de gruparea greacă pe siteul său oficial :

"Panionios confirmă faptul că a ajuns la o înţelegere de principiu cu Alvaro Recoba, sperăm să anunţăm transferul definitiv al jucătorului în câteva zile". Un rol important în transfer l-a avut Lambros Choutos, fostul coechipier de la Inter al uruguaianului şi bun prieten cu acesta, care joacă acum la Panionios.

Fostul fotbalist al lui Inter a jucat sezonul trecut la AC Torino, unde a fost împrumutat de gruparea milaneză. Recoba a fost la un moment dat cel mai bine plătit fotbalist jucător al lumii, cu un salariu de peste 9 milioane de dolari. Internaţionalul uruguaian a jucat 10 sezoane la Inter, un sezon la Venezia şi Torino. "El Chino" şi-a început cariera la Danubio, în Uruguay.

FC Barcelona va incasa cinci milioane de euro in urma unui amical pe care il va juca in compania echipei FK Bunyodkor.

FK Bunyodkor cunoscuta candva si ca Kuruvki Taskent, echipa care in vara acestui an a facut o oferta bomba de 40 de milioane camerunezului Samuel Etoo, si care mai nou l-a transferat pe fostul campion mondial Rivaldo a rupt gura targului prin suma ce va urma sa o plateasca Barcelonei pentru sustinerea unui meci amical.
Barcelona va incasa cinci milioane de euro pentru un amical cu FK Bunyodkor care va avea loc in luna mai a anului viitor. Bunyodkor a platit deja trei milioane de euro in avans, echipei catalane urmand ca celelalte doua milioane sa fie platite anul viitor. Prin intelegerea facuta intre cele doua echipe, Barcelona este obligata sa se prezinte la amical cu cea mai buna echipa.
