    Javier Saviola and Roque Santa Cruz are a fine striking partnership available for free.
    Possibly Tevez if West Ham go down.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    I'd take Saviola at Trafford.

    So would I. Smashing player. He's signed for Celtic though according to his wiki page, but no source is provided.

If that side of his game can be eliminated, he'll do well.

    But surely thats good, since the English prem is much more of a physical game than what the Italians get up to in Serie A

    They dive more in Italy but the physicality is not that much different. And it's not as if he's been sent off for petty yellow cards. He's a dangerous tackler. He is a good player but he's whole-hearted in his tackles and that won't do him any favours.

    EDIT - Muntari even spoke on this issue today. Muntari vows to clean up his act

    He could easily be one. Great winger. He can use both his left and his right. Really drove Lyon forward at times last year when they struggled. He'll be a great addition. Robben & Malouda on the wings next year....can't wait!

    Don't know how any can say Nani is a snip at £18,000,000 when he is unproven in England. As we've seen with players like Reyes, Veron, Morientes etc., you can have all the reputation and skill in the world, but if you don't like being kicked around a park for 90 minutes than the Premiership isn't the place for you. Nani could prove to be money well spent, but he could also be the next Reyes. As for Hargreaves is all I can say.

    Barcelona have made the best overall signings so far, but for the best individual signing it would be between, Henry to Barcelona for £16m, Beckham to LA Galaxy for free, Bale to Spurs, or Metzelder to Madrid, and I'd add Saviola to Madrid if the rumours are true.

    Also I think Voronin to Liverpool will turn out to be a great piece of business

    Riquelme is available at a bargain basement price too, his loan at River is up and Villareal have no interest in taking him back. There are rumours of Atlético de Madrid signing him.

    By the way, Real Madrid are just after signing a Brazilian centre half called Pepe from Porto for €30m claiming he's the best thing since the sliced pan. Anyone ever heard of him?

    I've heard of him, don't watch Portugese football much though so can't comment on his ability, but at that price he'd want to be a bit special

    I've seen Pepe play and I can't say that he's worth €30m. He scores a lot of goals but when he played against Chelsea he didn't do the best job at their heart.
