There's even been talk by Landon's manager that he'd be interested in a move to England.


Other notable transfers since Euro (off the top of my head). Thoughts?

I know there have been more, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Don't forget flamini to AC milan on a free transfer. He was one of the top 3 players on Arsenal last season.

Jozy Altidore to Villareal? Crap, is that right? Now I've forgotten. And word is a loan to somewhere else.

He debuted yesterday for Milan in a 0-0 draw with Cremonese. I didn't mention his transfer since it occurred before the Euros.

I haven't heard anything about a loan deal, but I haven't been following this story. I wish him luck; maybe the US will finally have a striker who isn't afraid of the ball.

I guess they were talking about Osasuna (?) before. But now there's an injury at Villareal so Jozy's got his shot at first team ball.

Riise to the Eternal City. Mutu was a no-go, as it appears will be the case w/ Baptista. Now there is talk of Cisse....

I understand why Rafa would let Riise go, but on the other hand why would Spalletti want him?

Let's hope the change of scenery does him good....

Silva was supposed to be going to Barca last I heard.
