Euro Club Roundup #6

Roundup #6 has club play on a break for Euro 2008 qualifying and international friendlies. But, it also saw the close of the transfer season. There was lots of big signings, i.e. Tevez and Mascherano for West Ham, but not much going on for the four clubs I have selected to follow this season.

AS Roma

Roma signed Rodrigo Defendi, the Tottenham defender was part of the deal sending Mido back to the Spurs. Roma also signed Serbian striker Mirko Vucinic. Roma defender Sammy Kufour has been loaned to Serie A team Livorno for one year.

Hertha

No significant news for the German side.

Liverpool

No significant developments at the close of transfer season but Liverpool teammates Peter “The Robot” Crouch and Steven Gerrard scored two and one goals respectively in England’s 5-0 win over Andorra.

Valencia

It looks like Roberto Ayala and Valencia have made nice after a contract dispute.
