BREAKING TRANSFER NEWS

Chelsea have had a £52m bid for Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero and defender Diego Godin rejected. I thought Roman Abramovich was supposed to be losing interest? Obviously not.

These amounts of money are really crazy when you think about it!

Wigan 0-1 Aston Villa (Agbonlahor)

2 Goals in two min from Man U 2-2 now!

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar will retire from football at the end of this season.

The 40-year-old former Netherlands international moved to Old Trafford from Fulham in 2005.

Van der Sar has made 245 appearances for the Red Devils and helped them to win three Premier League titles and the 2008 Champions League.

"It is now time to pay attention to my family," he told the website of his management agency.

Van der Sar admitted he had been contemplating quitting the game since his wife, Annemarie, collapsed with a brain haemorrhage in December 2009.

"I cannot really identify a time when it [the decision] happened," said the former Ajax and Juventus player. "Let's just say that it was playing on my mind from the moment Annemarie had her stroke.

"She has fought back from it. We decided on another year in England and thus to stay at Manchester United.

"But, once engaged in the season, the thought of saying goodbye started to gnaw a bit more emphatically."

Van der Sar admitted it had been a difficult decision to make, but ultimately the correct one.

"One minute you're out. The next, you question it again," he added on www.sport-promotion.nl. "I thought about stopping, maybe a year ago.

"It is a difficult process. After a defeat, I thought differently than after playing a few good games in a row.

"My age played no role. I am 40 years old but I still feel fit.

"And then the decision came suddenly. Do not ask me how or why, but suddenly you know. That was sufficient.

"The time has come to devote greater attention to my family - although they have never complained. Everyone in the family has indeed always had to focus on me, but we have also had a lot in return."

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway will offer to resign after the club were fined for fielding a weakened team, but chairman Karl Oyston will fight to keep him.

Holloway made 10 changes for a trip to Aston Villa in November and threatened to quit if the club were punished.

"He will be getting my resignation as that is how strongly I feel," Holloway told the Blackpool Gazette. "It's up to him whether he chooses to take it."

"I absolutely would not accept his resignation," Oyston responded.

"I would fight to the death to keep him in his post. He has done fantastically well and deserves to manage at this level for ever.

The chairman won't accept it. He'll be mad if he does.

The question must surely be, would they have been fined if they had won? The other question that you could also ask, would Manchester United be fined if they field their second team against one of the weaker teams! For example a week before a really big champions league match?

Great statement of intent by your new owners, that is if Torres is staying.

Not as impressed by the transfer itself though. Players who dominated the Dutch league tend flop at their next club.

Torres stays.. his transfer request is rejected..

abt Dutch league players not cutting it in the EPL.. yes they do.. Arsenal has signed many great players from that league..

Dennis Bergkamp.. we got him from Inter where he was struggling for 2 years but before that he dominated the Dutch league and then was a legend at Arsenal..

RvP.. Amazing striker when fit

Vermaelen.. The rock

Overmars.. No explanation needed

Liverpool already have Dirk Kuyt who has been great for them?

van der Wiel/Vertonghen can be superb in any league..

Sneijder/van der Vaart were/are doing great after playing in the Dutch league..

Plus I can guarantee you if he was playing in Spain, Liverpool would have to pay £35M+ for him..

Good examples. Bergkamp is a legend.

I've been half-following Vertonghen. I wonder if he'd be a good fit at Arsenal.

I actually meant goalscorers, if you look past ancient examples like Bergkamp most have been underwhelming. Kuyt was Eredivisie's top scorer, look at his scoring rate since he joined Liverpool and before you mention that he's mostly been some kind of defensive winger (?) Rafa tried playing him upfront but it was a disaster. Need I mention Huntelaar or our very own flop Kezman who was top scorer for 3(!) seasons before joining Chelsea? Even a headless chicken like Salomon Kalou scored for fun there.

Sneijder/van der Vaart were/are doing great after playing in the Dutch league..
They weren't exactly successful at Real.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By Nas · Posted

      Interesting share -- however it does not make sense: Email messages get stored somewhere, so how is Delta Chat "based on email" and decentralized without actually storing anything? By Web3 standard practices, the various Relays would require dedicated storage to make messages available to the recipients (like a large series of message queue channels, akin to racks of traditional post office boxes)... and Contacts must be two-way confirmed in order for encryption keys to be exchanged (ostensibly every key-pair is uniquely bound between sender and recipient) and the Relays would preserve the public keys in order to facilitate message carriage... or every device stores all sorts of keys and contact info. All of this to say, decentralized messaging is like running Bluesky nodes except instead of discovering/browsing public feeds by various posters (at the given node) these Delta Chats would be relaying encrypted messages (via Relays) that only trusted recipients would have the appropriate decryption key (their own private key) to read it. But this doesn't solve the "it's like email" sales pitch. The only way it's like email is that there's encrypted binary stuff being transported from your app into the federated ether of Delta Chat Relays for others to decrypt (hopefully only the intended recipient)... but outside of this federated relays framework, it is absolutely nothing like email.
