He was an absolute brilliant manager, one of my favourite of English football. Rest in peace!

Ha! It is not only an exchange Zlatan vs Eto'o. Barca pays 40 Million Euros + Eto'o for Zlatan Holy shit!!!

Other sources say that it is Eto'o + 40 Million Euros + Alexander Hleb. This is sick, but another proof for the high value of Zlatan.

High value of Zlatan, or the ridiculous way football is going?

Looks like Real will be getting Xabi Alonso for 28Million, will they ever stop spending??!!

I find it disgusting all this money is being spent on football players, especially in the current climate! I hope all these clubs go into administration!!

RIP Sir Bobby, nutty as hell, but a great manager, and was a great ambassador for the game, he will be missed (Although probably not by Sunderland fans!)

I find it rather interesting that most of the top clubs in Europe wouldn't be certified to play in the german league due to their spending vs. cold cash ratio.
