TRANSFER FRENZY

HOLY MAMBA
if anyone was to take a look at espn soccernet right now, you would just see a plain old hot mess.

the transfer window officially closes at 3pm pacific time, and the biggest athlete in question is clint dempsey. a forward striker for fulham who is CLEARLY unhappy at fulham, even refusing to train with the club which resulted in a fine. both liverpool fc and tottenham hotspurs AND aston villa have been bidding like cray last second ebay status just to snag this guy. although old, he could prove to be a missing link for any of these clubs.

some highlights include

berbatov: man united to fulham (hes been a red devil for 4 years dangggggg)
charlie adam: liverpool to stoke city
joey barton: qpr to marseille
ibrahim afellay: fc barcelona to schalke

obvi theres a TON of others but these are ones that just came to mind
no one really knows where clint dempsey will end up but he fasho wants to gtfo of fulham!!

as said in his latest tweet
"the truth will come out soon"

transfer season 2k12

can be summed up in two words. hot MESS.

my biggest issue with soccer players moving from one club to another is the huge fact that they all move for money. right now there are a few huge clubs in every league better known as "moneybags fc" and all they do is snatch up players, promising huge titles when really they're just buying a trophy. granted all players work hard but if you pull a "miami heat" kind of deal, pooling all that talent into one team isn't necessarily fair. sports is a business, yes, but the english prem league def takes it to another level. a few clubs just have an endless amount of money coming through and thus purchasing their way to the top.

the ideas of dedication and commitment in sports are long gone, basically if you have the money, you can literally buy your way to the top. there is no low point or struggle that a team has to go through because you can now purchase a champion-like squad.

its whack
