Fabio Aurelio: Liverpool to Gremio (free transfer)

Rodrigo Palacio- Genoa to Inter Milan.

That's not true. Aurelio has gone straight to the Gremio medical team, where they will try to discover how a man made of crisps can play football.

Really good player and I wish him well, but he was the polar opposite of Bruce Willis in unbreakable.

Basically whatever FFP rules are implemented clubs like Chelsea etc will find a way of exposing loopholes and will still spend crazy amounts of money.

If they spent that more wisely we would no longer be talking about a very old Chelsea team.

[King Gizzard]

They'll always find loopholes in FFP. You can probably still pump money if you own a business and decide to change the stadium name to your business and stuff like that.

Torres would be more than £50m when you add in his contract. The £75m figure for Hazard, is inclusive of his contract.

Without the contracts then it's between £80-85m for Hazard and Torres

I didn't seem him in his Dortmund days nor much at Real due to lack of appearances but he was a hot prospect from what I hear when at Dortmund. I saw someone once say that 'everything went through him' at Dortmund.
