Nice links, Bruins! I prefer BBC Sport. I know I'm really starting to hate Calderon. Hadn't seen the Adebayor article. Man, I thought they'd get some money out of him. He's like Didier to me, lots of talent but unreliable. (I know he's a scorer...) I will say I like him a lot more than Drogba, though. That's who I'd thought would be on the block, for sure......

The soccer media in Europe is complete BS. Unless I hear Kaka say that out of his mouth personally, I'll never believe it. That's why I halfway don't believe any of these rumors out there.

Like I said, only Real Madrid can steal a young superstar player from Milan.

Garbage.

Adebayor's a worthless ****. "I'll play like Henry when I'm paid like Henry." Henry has more talent in his left nut than you do, get the **** over yourself.

What 24 year old football player says he wants to make a move to Barca or Milan to plan for retirement? As if he's not being paid a decent amount of money all ready. One 30 goal season and he wants 120K pounds a week. Go to Barca or Milan, I don't want you on Arsenal, you greedy bastard.

Yeah, you tell 'em. You're right, though. I wouldn't want him on ManU. He's more petulant than Ronaldo.
