Futbolitinos, the transfer deadline window is now shut! Seedy agents all became instant millionaires when “under the table” deals were finalized yesterday, including Coutinho’s loan move from Inter Milan to Espanyol (above). At least we know that with David Pizarro’s arrival at Man City, Carlos Tevez is well poised to become half-time mascot on match day. Moc moc to that!
More interestingly, Santos president Luis Alvaro Ribeiro has rejected FC Porto’s bid for Ganso (left). Of course, Ganso has been hailed as the “next Kaka” but like Neymar, he is not allowed to leave Brazil.
“Maybe there was a typo and (Porto) forgot to put one more zero in their bid,” said Ribeiro. Yes, this man loves sarcasm.
Also, you can have a Hleb of a laugh (he has has finally been released from his Barcelona contract!) and read all the transfer action here.
