BIG NAME TRANSFERS!

Over the summer, several huge transfers have been made, most of them revolving around Barcelona, but the biggest news in the transfer market is Real Madrid not buying Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United after a long negotiation failed. Barcelona have been buying and selling all summer, including Ronaldihno's sale to AC Milan, Deco's sale to Chelsea and buying Arsenal winger Alexander Hleb, who featured against Barcelona in the 2006 Champions league final, Brazilian left-back Dani Alves and Malian midfielder Seydou Keita. Up in England, Liverpool have failed to buy Gareth Barry from Aston Villa
but have bought Republic of Ireland captain and Tottenham Hotspurs striker Robbie Keane. Tottenham have bought Blackburn wonder kid David Bentley. Tottenham have also bought Brazilian keeper Gomes from PSV Eindoven. Quite a busy summer!
