Yah, that's quite a cheap deal. Somehow I'm surpised Chelsea didn't get him if that is what he ended up going for

5 mil for Thuram is pretty cheap. I thought his performance at the world cup would have seriously risen his price."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

Theres only so much you can pay for a player that age esp. when you take his wages in consideration, he'll be on top dollar. 5 mill is a fair price IMO.Comment

ROME, July 25 (Reuters) - An appeals court confirmed on Tuesday that Juventus will play in Italy's second division Serie B next season but reduced the penalty points imposed on the soccer club for their involvement in a match-fixing scandal from -30 points to -17.
The court overturned a sports tribunal's decision to relegate Fiorentina and Lazio, allowing them stay in the top flight Serie A league next season but with penalty points. Fiorentina will start the new season with -19 points and Lazio with -11 points.
Initial reports suggest that AC Milan have been reinstated in the UEFA Champions League.
Damn
. Not much of a penalty at all it seems.

Milan is owned by someone called Berlusconi who happens to own Italy and all that's in it, so my bet would be that Milan gets away with a "now, play nice young man..."
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again...Comment

After the initial ruling AC Milan were kept out of the CL which (again, going by the EPL) was the Italian FAs decision. Nothing should have changed there, regardless of Berlusconi.LandMasses Version 3 Now Available since 18/05/2008.Comment

But what on earth could you want with him when you already have Theo "OMFG THE NEW HENRY!!1" Walcott?Originally posted by Cort Haus
One player I'd really like is Aaron Lennon, but he's only recently signed a new contract for Spurs, and probably won't be available for years, and if he ever does become available will probably be put on the market at £30m or something crazy that only Chelsea can afford.

Apparently UEFA can nip the Milan controversy in the bud by not allowing them... though the decision has been delayed to August 2nd:
In other news, it appears Ruud van Nistelrooy is going to Real Madrid for 15 million Euros:
So it seems that Madrid got two Galacticos this time around, Cannavaro and van Nistelrooy.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
