Só queria o Krychowiak.

[Danskin]

Não sejas negativo, jovem! Olha aí a nossa próxima contratação: http://futbol.as.com/futbol/2015/01/21/primera/1421798795_934969.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

 

Resta ver se conseguimos a licença de trabalho para ele.

[Oblivion]

Nada de extraordinário, tbh. Juntavam mais uns pózitos e traziam o Laporte ou o Iñigo.

[Danskin]

Conheces? Só sei que os adeptos o comparam ao Godín.

 

 

Aí está o menino! :)

[Mais um manager]

Segundo o Birmingham Mail, o co-fundador da Microsoft foi associado a uma possível compra do Aston Villa. E pelos vistos o Tom Fox está a fazer uma revolução positiva no clube.

 

Paul Allen is the latest billionaire to be linked with a takeover move for Aston Villa, following rumoured interest from fellow American Mark Cuban and an Azerbaijan bid.

 

According to Forbes, Allen is the 55th richest person in the world, with an estimated wealth of $17.1 billion.

 

He was reported to be behind a bid to buy Southampton FC in 2007, when the club where in the Championship.

 

Allen co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates in in 1975 and still owns a reported 100 million shares in the company. He now runs Vulcan Inc, which manages his business and philanthropic efforts.

 

Some of those business interests are in sport, with the billionaire owning NFL team Seattle Seahawks and NBA side Portland Trail Blazers as well as part-owning Major League Soccer franchise Seattle Sounders FC

 

The Seahawks are defending Superbowl champions and have just booked their place in this year’s showpiece of American sport.

 

Last season, Allen’s basketball team reached the play-off semi-finals for the first time since 2000.

 

Seattle Sounders have former Birmingham City striker Obafemi Martins in their squad, along with former Spurs forward Clint Dempsey and Derby County old boy Tyrone Mears and reached the conference finals last year, losing out to LA Galaxy on goal difference.

 

Allen has given millions of dollars to charity, recently pledging $100milion to aid the fight against Ebola in West Africa.

 

He is reported to own the 14th largest yacht in the world, the 414ft (126 m) Octopus, said to boast two helicopters, two submarines, a swimming pool, a music studio and a basketball court.

 

As lavish as that is, Allen has loaned the yacht out for rescue and research operations.

 

Aston Villa are searching for a director of football to help manager Paul Lambert

 

Aston Villa are searching for a director of football operations as they continue to revamp the support networks around boss Paul Lambert.

 

Chief executive Tom Fox has created the role as part of his on-going plan to improve the major departments that surround the manager at Villa Park.

 

The club are also closing in on the appointments of a chief commercial officer and a new head of media while a massive overhaul of the academy and the scouting system is already underway.

 

Ideally Villa are aiming to fill the position by the summer to ensure the new man is settled in for the start of next season.

 

Lambert is expected to play a part in the eventual appointment and is likely to help identify some of the roles that he will undertake.

 

That the club are involving him in such talks suggest that both Fox and owner Randy Lerner are still fully behind him despite Villa’s chronic lack of goals and their slide down the Premier League table.

 

At Bodymoor Heath business is as usual ahead of the fourth round FA Cup clash with Bournemouth on Sunday but there is a lot of hard work going on behind the scenes.

 

The decision to create the director of football operations position is part of Fox’s long-term vision to help the club prosper.

 

He told the Birmingham Mail last month that he predicts success in three-to-five years time and in the five months he has been at the club there has been plenty of change.

 

His plan to hire slick, experienced, professionals who have a history of getting results is slowly starting to take shape and in time the results should show.

 

Having enjoyed a productive period at Arsenal, the savvy American has started to implement some of the success stories that he witnessed in north London.

 

The chief commercial officer role was the post he held at the Emirates Stadium and Villa should have that position filled in a matter of months.

 

Yoann Copreaux, the new head of business strategy, was brought in late last year and is said to have made an impressive start to his time in the Midlands.

 

The changes in the academy also bode well for the future.

 

Unlike at other clubs the director of football role will not be heavily centred around identifying and purchasing players.

 

Villa feel that with new director of recruitment Paddy Reilly already doing a decent job at Bodymoor Heath there is little need to add another commanding head to that section.

 

Instead, Fox is thought to want someone who can look critically at areas such as sports medicine, data analysis and athletic performance to ensure the claret and blues are reaching their maximum potential.

 

While the exact duties are not yet clear, it’s thought that a new arrival would not come in and under-cut any football responsibilities that the manager is in charge of.

 

That would mean no interfering with the squad, team selection and game-based issues.

 

Villa may be struggling on the pitch but they are certainly hiring good people to take care of the backroom matters.

 

At present the need for an assistant manager is not thought to be a serious concern.

Que 4 formados clube + 4 país o City tem para inscrição na champions?

[Kratosthegod]

Este ano o City ainda por cima não tinha só até 21 inscritos por causa da multa do fair play financeiro?

 

Btw suponho que Joe Hart, Richard Wright, Boyata, Lampard, Milner, Sinclair e não me lembro de mais.

[kareca]

Provavelmente deixaram um "buraco" de 2 inscrições
