The 26-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year deal which will keep him at St Andrews until the summer of 2012.

Johnson is the third centre-back to join City's ranks this summer following Scott Dann and Giovanny Espinoza.

"I am really pleased to be here, Birmingham are a massive club and I am looking forward to putting the shirt on to be honest," said Johnson.

An 88th minute free-kick from defender Daniel Alves sent an uncovincing Brazil into the Confederations Cup final and left hosts South Africa heartbroken.

Alves came on late in the game and powered a strike into the far corner after Aaron Mokoena conceded the set piece with a foul on Ramirez.

Mokoena had earlier sent a far post header from close range over.

Steven Pienaar also came close for the hosts when his 25-yard shot was palmed wide by keeper Julio Cesar.

Brazil had struggled to produce their fluent passing game and, until the winner from Alves, gave South Africa the scent of creating a similar upset to the other semi-final which saw the United States beat Spain.

A mixture of Brazil's own lethargy and South Africa's industry and passion saw the South American team fail to create any concerted pressure on the hosts.

Celtic's assistant manager Mark Venus has cautioned against buying for the sake of it ahead of the Champions League qualifiers.

Venus, alongside manager Tony Mowbray and coach Peter Grant, aim to win the tie starting on 28 or 29 July.

"Obviously, we've lost a couple of players and we will be trying to bring players in," he said.

But Celtic would not want to buy a player only to regret it for the next four years, Venus stressed.

Fabregas responds to rumours
Gunners skipper reiterates his commitment to club

Cesc Fabregas has once again played down any suggestion of him leaving Arsenal this summer.

Speculation regarding the midfielder's future resurfaced on Thursday as the Spaniard blasted the Gunners' lack of success in recent years.

The club captain admitted his disappointment at the 'impotence' at Emirates Stadium which has led to a four-year trophy drought.

Having already been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona or Real Madrid, his outburst only served to fuel rumours of an imminent exit.

However, Fabregas claims his comments were meant only as a rallying cry to those around him and insists he remains fully committed to the Arsenal cause

"I'm not sure how many times I need to talk directly about my commitment to Arsenal as I continue to say the same thing over and over again, but it appears that every time I have spoken to the Spanish media recently, my words have bounced back to England, leaving question marks about my future," he told the club's official website.

"So, for anyone who is unclear or may have misunderstood what my position is, let me make myself absolutely crystal clear. I am wholeheartedly committed to Arsenal and my future lies with this great club.

"It is a fact that we have not won a trophy for four years and yes, I am angry about that, but that anger stems from the deep desire I have to win things with Arsenal.

"I care about this club and believe in this team. I am proud to captain this team and proud to wear the shirt. It really upsets me when people express my thoughts otherwise.

"The spirit in this squad is fantastic and we have the ability and mentality to compete on all fronts for silverware. Make no mistake, we are focused and determined to show that we are capable of achieving great things together."

Arsenal and Liverpool in BIG bidding war
June - 25 - 2009

The daily round up of Spanish news speculation has been collected and the best one that we have come across is that Liverpool and Arsenal are both in a bidding war for the same player and that the figures mentioned are big.

Now when they say big they are talking between £15 million and £20 million and while the name of the player was not mentioned on Spanish radio it is believed to be a Valencia playe

No Arsenal offer for Chamakh says Bordeaux president
June - 25 - 2009

Marouane Chamakh is another top midfielder that has been linked strongly with Arsenal, but the Bordeaux president has denied on Sky Sports that his club has received any offers for him from the Premier League, and he is hopeful that the 25 year-old will sign an extended contract to stay at Bordeaux.

The report reads: Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud is hopeful reported Arsenal target Marouane Chamakh will sign a new contract with the Ligue 1 club.

The Gunners have been linked with a bid for the highly-rated forward, but the North London side have yet to comment on the speculation.

Last week, French outfit Bordeaux denied claims an agreement for Chamakh had been struck with Arsenal.

Triaud has claimed an approach from a Swiss side has been received, but Bordeaux remain focused on tying the Moroccan down to fresh terms.

He told skysports.com: “I have not spoken with any player about a move. Players need to respect their contracts.

“We want Marouane to sign a new contract with us, he knows that. We want to build a great team here, not sell our best players.

“Chamakh has not received any offer or enquiry by a big or small Premier League club. The only enquiry has come from a Swiss club.”

Is this another one that can struck off the “possible” list for Arsenal fans?

Premier League muscle bids big for Arsenal target

According to Calciomercato.com an un-named Premier League giant has made an offer for Udinese stopper Cristian Zapata. The Colombian has been watched by Arsenal and Manchester City and is set for the exit door this summer.

Zapata has been identified by Arsene Wenger as a possible stalwart to plug Arsenal's leaky defence. The 22 year-old admitted earlier this month that a number of top European clubs were interested in his services.

"Juventus, Milan, Arsenal and Villarreal have requested information about me," said Zapata.

"There are many teams that are keen to sign me but an official offer has not been made so far. I think if a good offer arrives then Udinese will have to consider it."





And theres all the Arsenal Transfer Rumours of today.

Glen Johnson is officially a Liverpool Player!

England defender Glen Johnson has today put pen to paper on a four-year Anfield deal.
The 24-year-old full-back arrives from Portsmouth and becomes Rafa Benitez's first major acquisition of the summer ahead of the 2009-10 season.

His squad number has yet to be decided.

Johnson's career began with Harry Redknapp at West Ham but after just 15 appearances and a loan spell at Millwall he became the first signing for new Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich in 2003.

The Londoner's league debut for the Blues came at Anfield against Liverpool in August of the same year.

Three months later he made his international debut against Denmark as a substitute for Gary Neville.

Johnson won a Premier League title winner's medal and a League Cup during his time at Stamford Bridge but he was loaned to Portsmouth by Jose Mourinho in 2006.

The deal was made permanent a year later and the England man went on to be a massive hit with the Fratton Park faithful.

He helped the club to FA Cup glory in 2008 - and the season that followed brought a host of personal accolades.

Glen JohnsonDespite Pompey finishing 14th in the league, Johnson was selected at right-back in the PFA Team of the Year for 2008-09. His screaming left-foot volley against Hull on November 22 also won Match of the Day's Goal of the Season.

The defender has amassed 15 caps for England and was named as Nationwide's man-of-the-match in the Three Lions' recent World Cup qualifying victory over Andorra at Wembley after claiming three assists in the game.

Away from the pitch, our new boy established the Glen Johnson Soccer School' in Dartford, Kent back in 2007 for children aged between four and 16.

Manchester City, who were leading the race to sign Carlos Tevez from United, are now reportedly clear favourites to land the Argentine after the striker enrolled his daughter in a local school.

Stoke City are said to be chasing Obafemi Martins, who's one big name likely to leave relegated Newcastle United.

Fulham could soon swoop for Steve Sidwell. The midfielder last owened the stage whilst playing for Reading, but has failed to kick on at Chelsea and now Aston Villa.

Lyon's Kader Keita looks to be on the way out of France; West Ham United, Everton and Roma could be interested.

Peter Lovenkrands amazingly wants to cross the great divide; he's eyeing a contract with Sunderland after leaving their relegated rivals Newcastle United.

Nani could be used as bair to help Manchester United land long-term target Antonio Valencia from Wigan Athletic. He hasn't really hit the heights, Nani, since showing early promise.

Johnson's deal at Anfield is worth some £18.5 million, while he's penned a four-year contract. Can he help 'Pool mount a stronger title assault?

[30stone]

YES!

he is considering Arsenal again.



Arsenal target Felipe Melo to consider future after Confederations Cup final



Arsenal target Felipe Melo's agent has sidestepped questions about the Brazil midfielder's future.

Emiliano Froldi insists his player is happy at Fiorentina but stopped short of ruling a move to the Barclays Premier League.

The 25-year-old is wanted by Arsenal and Inter Milan, with Arsene Wenger's team thought to be happy to pay £15million for the former Almeria player.


But Froldi said Melo was concentrating only on his international duty with Brazil ahead of Sunday's Confederations Cup final against the United States in Johannesburg.

'Felipe is happy at Fiorentina,' Froldi told www.calciomercato.it. 'His family has adapted very well in Florence and right now his only focus in on the Confederations Cup.'

Melo made 29 Serie A starts for Fiorentina last season and is under contract with the Viola through June 2012.

Arsenal to land £10million Serie A defender?

Arsenal Football Club being linked with a move for Cristian Zapata.

The Colombian international centre-half is currently plying his trade in Italy’s Serie A with Udinese, who are said to be willing to offload him for £10million.

It has been reported that Arsene Wenger is keen on the 22-year-old Zapata, who stands at 6ft 2in, to add some much-needed height in his Gunners back four.

The French coach is said to be on the lookout for a commanding centre-half, who could partner £10million Thomas Vermaelen in a new look combo if Kolo Toure is sold.

Agent: Dentinho Wants Arsenal Or Manchester United Move
The burgeoning Corinthians striker would welcome a move to the Premier League...


Corinthians striker Dentinho, a prolific forward of diminutive stature, would relish a move to the Premier League and, in particular, would welcome a move to either Manchester United or Arsenal, according to the player's agent, Ferhat Ciftci.

Dentinho was the club's highest scorer in his second year in the first-team, and has partnered former Real Madrid and Brazil international Ronaldo to good effect thus far in 2009.

The Sao Paulo-based club have placed a weighty valuation on Dentinho, according to Ciftci, so any would-be bidders would need to be able to finance such a deal.

"They [Corinthians] want too much money for Dentinho, so the club who are willing to pay that kind of money will land the player," Ciftci explained to Sport.

"He is a great talent. Another great Brazilian talent. A very good technical player who is good on the ball. The fans will love him in England, the public will worship him. A little bit like Cristiano Ronaldo.

"He wants to play in the Premier League," he added. "It doesn't make a difference if it is Arsenal or Manchester United."

Alvaro Arbeloa wants to leave Liverpool, according to his agent. The Spain international's future at Anfield is in doubt following the big-money capture of Glen Johnson from Portsmouth and, although the Reds are in contract talks with the full-back, boss Rafa Benitez has refused to rule out a transfer for the former Deportivo La Coruna defender.Real Madrid have confirmed their interest in Arbeloa along with team-mate Xabi Alonso, and Arbeloa's representative Manuel Garcia Quilon believes Liverpool should let him move on.

"Alvaro has a year left on his current deal and Rafa Benitez knows that it's best to let him go now," he explained to a British newspaper.

He continued: "The career of a football player has many stages and he is qualified to play anywhere."


I thought arbeloa is a left back??

Chelsea Set To Make €59m Bid For Top Target

Posted on 28. Jun, 2009 by Milox in Premiership
The Blues appear set to tempt Bayern with a mega-bid for their French winger Franck Ribery.

Chelsea are reportedly set to offer Bayern Munich €59 million for French international Franck Ribery, according to a report in the Sunday Express.

The winger is currently one of the continent’s most in-demand players with Real Madrid, Manchester United and Barcelona all believed to be interested in signing him.

Bayern Munich have, however, insisted they have no desire to sell Ribery but Chelsea now appear set to test their resolve with a huge bid.

The Sunday Express insists that the French winger is top of manager Carlo Ancelotti’s summer shopping list and that the Italian will prioritise his signing when he officially starts work at Stamford Bridge next week.

However, the Blues look to have a fight on their hands if they are to secure Ribery, who has already admitted he is not keen on a move to England.

Instead the Munich man has hinted that Spain would be his preferred destination, news that is bound to have interested both Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The report goes on to state that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the Bayern chairman, has insisted the club will not sell their star asset saying, “Ribery is irreplaceable and is not for sale.”



Looks to out bid Arsenal already. Man Utd look out of the running.

Chelsea and Arsenal in massive £50 million transfer battle
Man Utd and Real Madrid set to lose out on top forward



Daily Star on Sunday reports that Chelsea and Arsenal are favourites to land French top forward Franck Ribery. Ribery (26) has earlier been linked with Real Madrid and Man Utd.

Arsenal are now entering the race for the top names of Europe, and Wenger shows that he is ready to battle for the best names in football.

Wenger is by many regarded as the best manager in the World. He has shown his loyality to Arsenal and refused to listen to offers from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Arsenal could be the surprise winner of some massive transfer battles this summer. If they manage to sign Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema, both with a French connection, they will be a major contender for the Champions League and Premier Leagu title.

Nicklas Bendtner could be offered as part of the deal to Bayern Munich. Emmanuel Adebayor could join Chelsea if Ribery and Benzema moves to North London.


Arsenal big spenders.

Apparently, Chelse and arsenal have both offered 50m

And yes wonder how much arbeloa will go for.

Dixie Deans everton record

1925–1937 - Everton 399 (349)

[Novo]

Scotland international Graham Alexander has signed a new one-year contract with Premier League newcomers Burnley.

The 37-year-old enjoyed a memorable campaign as the Clarets reached the top flight for the first time since 1976, starting all 61 league and cup games.

Although he spent much of his career as a defender, he starred as a holding midfielder in their play-off success.

Alexander joined from neighbours Preston in 2007, when they turned down his request for a two-year deal.

However, he has now committed his future to Turf Moor until the summer of 2010.

[Novo]

Former Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva says he has urged his Brazil team-mate Felipe Melo to join the Gunners this summer.

The Gunners are reported to have made a substantial offer for Fiorentina's 25-year-old holding midfielder.

"We heard rumours and he asked me. I said it's a fantastic club and if he's interested he should go without thinking," Silva told BBC Sport.

"He is exactly what they need - a powerful player with quality."

Gilberto, who left the Gunners for Panathinaikos in Greece last summer, added: "If they got him it would be great because he is a player they need at the moment.

"I'm sure if they got him it would be a good signing. I have told him Arsenal is a great club and I am sure next season they will improve."

The 32-year-old Silva, who spent six seasons with the Gunners, played alongside Melo in Brazil's Confederations Cup final win over the US and said he had been impressed with his side-kick throughout the tournament.

"He is a very good player," said Silva after his side's 3-2 win at Ellis Park on Sunday.

the old one was much better

[President]

What's changed?

[Locke.]

Xabi Alonso has refused to rule out a move to Real Madrid this summer and has explained that he has not closed the door on any possibilities amidst reports that he could leave Liverpool.

The Basque Country midfielder has been linked with a switch to the Bernabeu this summer, but the rumours have subsided after manager Rafa Benitez stated he wanted the player to stay.

But Alonso was asked about his thoughts on moving back to la Primera with Madrid by Don Balon and he revealed that any number of things could still happen.

"In respect to all this I have not closed any door and we will just have to wait and see what happens," he told the weekly football magazine.

"It is always positive when various teams are said to want you because that is better than nobody being interested, but I cannot say much more.

"I know that I have to keep playing well and will be able to decide what happens next whenever it arises.

"I do not think a move to Real Madrid is impossible, but I would also have no regrets at all staying at Liverpool."

http://goal.com/en/news/12/spain/2009/06/29/1353289/joining-real-madrid-is-not-impossible-xabi-alonso

I'd love to keep him, but I'm starting to accept that he will leave after reading that. Should be a good 25-35 million anyway, just hope if he goes we can keep Mascherano and sign another quality center mid, because Lucas is the only other we have, unless Rafa wants to drop Gerrard back into the center and bring another striker in to partner Torres.

Wenger eyes Serie A swoop


Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to make a move for Udinese midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino, according to reports.

Wenger is keen to bolster his midfield this summer and is now being linked with a swoop for D'Agostino after his move to Juventus fell through last week.

Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo has confirmed that an English club have made an offer for him and reports in Italy claim that it has been made by the Gunners, although Chelsea have also been mentioned as a possible.

"We have one offer from England and another one from an important Italian club," Pozzo revealed. "Anything can happen."

Felipe Melo remains a target for Wenger but it looks as though the Brazilian star will be staying with Fiorentina and the Gunners boss is turning his attention elsewhere.

Not sure who id prefer probably melo.

Arsenal to offload defender to land £21million target?
01:30 PM 29 June, 2009
Arsenal Football Club are prepared to include Philippe Senderos as part of the deal to land Felipe Melo from Fiorentina this summer.

The Gunners have made the Brazilian international midfielder a top target for the summer, but they are in two minds over meeting the £21million asking price.

However, Arsene Wenger is prepared to offload Senderos, who spent last season at AC Milan, as part of the deal to bring Melo to the Emirates Stadium.

The French coach may be looking to reach a deal by the end of the week, following speculation Inter Milan are also interested in the Viola ace.


21m, i think if we offer senderos + whatever money they ask we will get melo.

Chelsea n Liverpool have only offered 15m.

Yuri Zhirkov To Sign For Chelsea On Wednesday – Report
CSKA Moscow star Yuri Zhirkov will sign a contract with the Blues on Wednesday, according to reports in Russia.

Yuri Zhirkov has been linked with a move away from CSKA Moscow for some time now, with Chelsea and Barcelona both thought to be in the running for the player's signature.

The Russia international insisted earlier this month he had no knowledge of Chelsea's interest, but news daily Sport-Express reports that the 25-year-old defender, who can also play on the left wing, will fly to London on Wednesday to rubber-stamp a four-year contract.

It is believed that the signing of Zhirkov, who has been one of Europe's most sought-after players since his impressive displays for Russia at Euro 2008, will cost Chelsea a fee in the region of €20 million.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be on his way to Chelsea Football Club this summer.

Although Jose Mourinho, the Inter Milan coach, has often labelled the Swede as one of the best players in the world, reports suggest he is willing to offload him.

The former Stamford Bridge boss is eager to raid his old club for Ricardo Carvalho and Deco, but he has so far been unable to reach an agreement with the Blues.

It is being reported in the Sunday Times that Mourinho will now offer Ibrahimovic, rated at £52million, in exchange for the Portuguese duo and a cash settlement.

The agent of Liverpool defender Alvaro Arbeloa says he wants a move to Real Madrid.

Real are ready to offer up to £8m for Arbeloa, who is unlikely to figure on Merseyside next season.

Manuel Garcia Quilon, the Spaniard's agent, said: "Alvaro has a year left on his current deal and Rafa Benitez knows that it's best to let him go now.

"The career of a football player has many stages and he is qualified to play anywhere."

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has backed new signing Glen Johnson to succeed at Anfield having completed his move from Portsmouth on Friday.

The Slovakia centre-back established himself as first choice alongside Jamie Carragher last season and he has welcomed the arrival of another experienced defender as the Merseysiders try to go one better than their second place behind champions Manchester United.

"He is a very good player and he will definitely be a success so I am happy that he is with us," said Skrtel.

Former Liverpool and England full-back Rob Jones believes manager Rafael Benitez has invested Johnson's reported £17million transfer fee wisely.

"Johnson is the best English right-back around, definitely. He's strong, quick and good going forward and defending," he said.

"Benitez has certainly gone for one of the very best there is."

Lyon insist no Man Utd, Real Madrid offers for Benzema
29.06.09 | tribalfootball.com

Olympique Lyon insist no offers have been received for striker Karim Benzema.

Lyon director of communications Olivier Blanc is adamant there has been no bid for the forward and claims it would take far more than £30million to force any sale.

He said in L'Equipe: "We have not received any official offer for Karim, either from Real Madrid, Manchester United or Arsenal.

"We had first contact with Real in the middle of last week.

"Anyway €32m (£27m) is not very realistic. If Madrid really made an offer, it would have been superior."

Manchester United are ready to make a £25 million bid for Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure.

The Sunday Mirror says United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has targeted the 26-year-old Ivory Coast international as fears grow about Owen Hargreaves's ability to overcome the patellar tendinitis problems that have plagued his Old Trafford career.

Barcelona have already targeted Liverpool's Javier Mascherano to replace Toure in their engine room.

No, even when Agger was fit Skrtel kept his place 95% of the time. Having said that, Agger recently signed a contract extension so he must have been promised first team football.

Johnson - Agger - Carragher - Aurelio

That will probably be our defence next season.

He still played 17 premiership games
Skrtel played 18 premiership games

this seaosn and agger was injured.

Either way agger is far superior, he can attack as well as defend aswell.
