OFFICIAL: Birmingham City Sign Lee Bowyer


Alex McLeish has made another signing in a busy close-season at Birmingham City by adding Lee Bowyer to the club's panel on a permanent basis. The deal has been announced on the club's official website.

Bowyer has signed a two-year contract after impressing on loan last season. The midfielder joined from West Ham United in January, making 17 appearances for the Blues and scoring one goal. However, the Hammers chose not to renew his contract and he was released at the end of the campaign.

The 32-year-old gained notoriety for off-field incidents while at Leeds United, and had an on-the-pitch scuffle with team-mate Kieron Dyer at Newcastle United. He performed admirably for Birmingham in the last six months, and will hope to repay the faith shown in him by the Midlands club.

Bowyer is the seventh player to join Birmingham this summer, and Alex McLeish can now fully focus on his attempts to reinforce his midfield further.

Moves for Inter's Patrick Vieira and Newcastle's Joey Barton are still in the pipeline, and it appears as if there will be further signings at St. Andrews before the summer is out.

Juventus Chief Giovanni Cobolli Gigli: Felipe Melo Deal Is Not Done Yet

Press reports in Italy claim that Juventus struck a deal with Fiorentina last night to sign Brazilian international midfielder Felipe Melo, however, the deal still has to be polished off, according to the Old Lady's boss.

Juve are expected to pay €20 million in cash plus give the Viola the full services of winger Marco Marchionni to activate the €25m clause included in the player’s new deal with the Gigliati.

But Juve president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli was in no mood to celebrate as he arrived at the Lega Calcio headquarters this morning.

“He is not our player yet,” he told Sky Sport 24. “There have been negotiations and [those] are still underway, but the transfer is not official. When it is, you will be informed.”

Felipe Melo only joined Fiorentina from Almeria last summer and Juve have apparently beaten off competition from Premier League club Arsenal to capture the 26-year-old.

“Do I like Melo? That’s not up for debate but, as I said, it’s not done yet. I hope it will be soon, though,” concluded Cobolli Gigli.

Added on July 10, 2009, 12:18 ambtw... very interesting scenario happening in barca. Eto'o refused to sign extension, because he knew that if he sign, Barca would just turn around and sell him at higher price.

So.. maybe he'll see out his contract, and move for free.. huh?

EXCLUSIVE: Barcelona To Sign David Villa From Valencia



Barcelona are set to make their first summer signing and it is the one that they wanted most...


Barcelona and Valencia have reached a deal that will see David Villa move to Camp Nou and are expected to make an announcement soon, Goal.com has learned.

A source close to Camp Nou has revealed exclusively to this website that the Spanish international striker has had his wish granted and he will join the European champions this summer.

Negotiations have been ongoing between Barça and Valencia and the Catalan club's president Joan Laporta even revealed that a bid had been made during a television interview on Wednesday evening.

Now Goal.com has been told that a deal has been struck and that Villa will be a Barcelona player, although no details of the fee or any of the Blaugrana's squad going in the other direction was divulged.

Laporta suggested that a offer of over €40million had been made and that, allied with los Che's new chief Vicente Soriano's promise to let the player go this year, has meant the treble winners have their man.

The arrival of Villa could speed up the departure of Samuel Eto'o, with both Manchester United and Manchester City linked with the Cameroonian striker, who was Barca's top league scorer last term.

Real Madrid opted not to pursue Villa after being told that he was not for sale and instead forked out a fee of up to €41million to sign Karim Benzema from Olympique Lyonnais.

SOS

oh NO!! valencia loosing all the best players

Valencia are suffering from severe financial problems and don't exactly have a choice.

BARCA COULD BID FOR FABREGAS
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has revealed the club will target Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas should they fail to land Franck Ribery.

Bayern Munich have remained adamant amid speculation that they will not be parting company with France international Ribery.

A number of sides have been linked with the playmaker, with Liverpool the latest to be mooted as suitors, but Bayern don't want to lose their star performer.

Meanwhile, it has regularly been suggested Arsenal captain Fabregas could seek a move back to Spain, with Real Madrid also interested in securing his signature.

However, the midfielder has consistently denied the rumours, stressing his commitment to the Gunners.

Laporta confirmed European champions Barca are in the market to strengthen and outlined his main targets.

He said on Spanish television: "Ribery was a player we were interested in at a logical price but Bayern don't want to sell.

"If they are interested in selling, we are interested in buying but if not, then we will look to Fabregas.

"Compared to him there is no available alternative left in the market, so we will see what happens.

"But after last season we only need small adjustments - a left-back, a central defender, a midfielder and a forward."
