Granada Unchained
View attachment 308197View attachment 308198
News today broke that the Pozzo Family have sold Spanish side Granada to American Film Star Leonardo Di Caprio in a multi-million pound deal. Di Caprio, 38, admitted that he knew little about the club but that he was encouraged to invest in Spanish football after meeting former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola while filming in New York.
'I have big plans for Granada and am hopping to break the big footballing duopoly that is Barcelona and Athletico Madrid, people say I know little about football, that is not true, I know that it is a game of two teams of 12 people and that they have to get the football into the big white netty thingy though they usually miss.' Di Caprio also said that the club would'nt be scared to break the bank to do well this season. He also said that the club were currently looking for a new manager to replace their former manager, who was sacked by the ruthless Pozzo family last week.

Di Caprio also said that any player had their price at Granada and urged his fellow chairman to donate unwanted players to a worthy cause. Di Caprio was spotted last week in a nightclub with Manchester United Chairman Maarten Vos and critics have said that the two's friendship could only benefit Granada CF, though perhaps not Manchester United. He also announced plans for a charity music concert in Granada next week to help improve the club's finances so they could potentially cause an upset in the harsh climate of Spanish Football.

Jose Campana has joined the club on loan for the season from Sevilla. Sevilla will pay Campana's wages in full, as long as they have the option to recall him in January. Campana adds depth to the midfield for the Granotes. It is expected that Estrada will be looking for more players to bolster the squad after he expressed the need for some defenders and attacking players. Specifically the left winger, striker and few in the back four. With Levantes current financial position it isn't expected that Estrada will be splashing the cash anytime soon. Loan deals are looking to be his preferred choice. Although if the right price is given he won't hold back.
On other news Ignacio's position as manager is looking doubtful as both looked rather distasteful after a meeting last night.

Nice one! I was hoping to loan him, but I haven't got any respond to my offer yet!
Today the world woke to the news that Barcelona, possibly the greatest team the world have ever seen have been taken over by a young English Businessman. With the fee undisclosed currently, although believed to be well over £1 billion, Adam Gutteridge has changed the entire outlook of a team that is seen as the fan's team.
Despite not saying much, it is believed that Tito Vilanova's position is currently under discussion between the new chairman and board, with his illness a worry. Possible replacements are currently being looked at as well as a transfer list being drawn up, which Gutteridge announced would be sent out to the rest of La Liga teams by the end of the day,

Busy first day at Los Periquitos
Borai had to jump into the middle right at the start of his career at Espanyol. He had just realized from the news that the transfer window is wide open. He was amuzed by the transfer of Emiliano Insua, he couldn't dream of getting such good player for a bargain of 4M £! He stated: "I don't think that Mr Walker is fully aware who he had lost! Mr McGeady made the first deal of the season and have raised the bar pretty high at the race "Bargain of the year" competion!" McGeady could take it wrong Borai's comment on his first transfer, because he haven't heard any respons about Jose Campana's loan deal, until Borai could read in the news, that Sevilla have made a loan deal with Levante's boss, Alejandro Estrada. After few hours there came the next shock; Munez from Real Madrid loaned out Borja to Rayo which was a genius move by its chairman, Henry Smith.
At this point the Hungarian boss felt like he is a social pariah and he had some concerns about his move to Espanyol. The afternoon have brought some nice meeting with the top of the table chairmans to securing some quality players to patch Espanyol's squad a bit. It was their first meeting together, but Borai feels that he could have great friendship with Malaga's boss, Scott Lochrie. The rumours has it that there will some player movement if the FA will finish its paperwork.

Borai couldn't feel himself satisfied so he is making some extra effort to make some noise around the transfer market. He had a meeting with the newly appointed manager and he agreed with McClair to set some of Espanyol's player on transfer list. All of these players could leave immediately and Borai would like to hear mostly transfer offers, but he will intrested some loan deals as well. The list of the players:
- Diego Colotto (31 years old DC, 10,25k £/week)
- Raul Rodriguez (24 years old DCR, 8k £/week)
- Victor Alvarez (19 years old DL/WBL, 1,6k £/week)
- Felipe Mattioni (23 years old DR/WBR/MR, 33,5k £/week)
- Javi Lopez (26 years old DR/WBR/DM/MCR/AMR, 8k £/week)

I'm not going to have the time to do this now. Betis will now be free again. Doing Borne's and going to concentrate on my comical Man Utd Story.
In what must surely be considered as the first real coup of the transfer market, Sevilla has announced the signing of Left Back Emiliano Insua from Atletico Madrid for a fee of £4m. Insua will slot straight into the first 11, possibly causing Navarro to be pushed out of the club.
Sevilla have also managed to bring in a young prospect of Jordi Amat in a direct exchange for Coke. McGeady is said to be very pleased with a deal that looks towards the future.
In other transfer news, Sevilla can confirm that youngsters Kondogbia and Baba have been sent on loan to Espanyol, and Campana has gone to Levante for the season.

One IN, One OUT at Athletic Bilbao
Chairman of the club, José María Olazábal announces he felt this swap better for them.
He gains a player with vast experience at European and International level.
He went onto say,
"I wish Oscar all the best and hopes he reaches his potential and again can play for Bilbao
but the offer was too good to refuse. I also welcome Raul Garcia
and hope that the midfield maestro enjoys his time at the club and can help us
to reach our goals"
Goodbye and Good luck, say Athletic fans
View attachment 308502
The Fans Official spokesman had this to say, "We welcome Raul to the club, don't quite
understand the need to sacrifice a prospect but if it brings in more gifted players like Garcia
here we welcome it. Maybe we can trade a couple of players for Xabi Alonso of Real Madrid,
imagine that model-pro at Bilbao. He could be a club hero for years to come!"

Osasuna Take-Over Press Conference
A press conference was held earlier today at Osasuna's home ground following the completion of the club take over by football veteran Terry Dunne. There were many questions asked at the Estadio Reyno De Navarra but the the most obvious questions were dealt with directly by Dunne.
Will Mendilibar's contract be getting terminated?
We have met with Jose and have decided that we are going to honour his contract which currently expires at the end of the season. We are confident that Jose can take this club forward and, if all goes well during the season, we will enter contract talks around March or April.
Will there be transfers this summer?
We are not prepared to make a comment on the transfer policy at this moment in time. We are working on finances and trying to sort something about, but the clubs future is always our number one priority.
Unfortunately that's all we have time for. Thank you all for coming down.
