It’s official: Ebi Smolarek is now a member of Racing Santander. The transfer fee was actually less than I originally reported, as the two clubs came to an agreement at €4million. This, unfortunately, only sees BVB pocketing €2million. The other half will be sent to Feyenoord Rotterdam.
In other news, Westline is reporting that Sebastian Kehl […]

According to the local Spanish […]

Sorry Roma fans, but Michael Zorc has extinguished any and all rumors of a potential Dede transfer to AS Roma. Apparently Roma were offering well below what Dortmund were looking for (€10million was the magic number), and as a result, all contact between the two clubs has been broken off.

As I stated at the bottom of one of my last posts, Dortmund would consider loaning out Nuri Sahin only “if everything fits exactly”. Well, apparently “everything fits exactly” in Rotterdam, as Sahin will be joining up with axed-last-year BVB coach Bert van Marwijk on a one-year loan deal. I like this move a lot. […]
