What you missed while tweaking the general theory of relativity to explain the origin of the universe…
- Thierry Henry has officially signed for the New York Red Bulls; he’s expected to make his debut on July 22nd in a friendly against Tottenham.
- Good news: Fernando Torres probably won’t be sold this summer. Bad news: Because he has a “grade one muscle fibre rupture” in his left thigh.
- The latest FIFA rankings show Spain in first, the Netherlands in second, and Italy in 11th; also, England bizarrely moved up a spot.
- Michael Ballack’s agent believes that the entire German national team is “a bunch of gays”.
- Harry Redknapp’s contract with Tottenham has been extended through 2013 (or until he starts losing games, whichever comes first).
- Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola has verbally committed to signing the contract he verbally committed to signing back in January today.
- Iker Casillas has taken a break from making out with his reporter girlfriend to hint at a £30 million move for Chelsea’s Ashley Cole.
- Celtic are hoping to move for Pumas UNAM youngster Efrain Juarez this summer.
- Fiorentina’s signing of Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the road for current keeper Sebastien Frey.
- Bari are working on signing Sebastian Giovinco from Juventus.
- Ryan Giggs will consider playing in MLS after his contract runs out with Manchester United this year.
- Arsenal are eying a transfer for Udinese defender Cristian Zapata.
I’m quite surprised that Fiorentina signed Boruc. Frey had been pretty impressive between the sticks for them last season. They’re almost exactly the same age, so I wonder what the thought there is. Unless offers are coming in for Frey that we’ve not heard about.
