Diego lopez is going to leave madrid to Monaco.
After this deal is confirmed then Madrid will confirm the Navas deal.
Some are saying that Casillas will be the #1 going into the upcoming season.
It is really a shame how Lopez has been treated since joining the club, but then again Casillas is one of madrid's greatest players so I don't think he would leave(he still brings in a lot of money for the club).
Edit: Courtois is going to playing for chelsea for the first time since joining. Around 45 minutes!

That is a cool shirt: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28642187 if the profits went to charity I'd even be tempted to buy one but alas no... I wish more clubs did stuff like this, makes kits so much more unique and meaningful and a charity donation (even a small one) would have been nice.
can Portsmouth afford to give to charity
and can someone tell me how a player grabbing the ball after not getting the decision is NOT a yellow card for deliberate handball
and LvG wins his first trophy of the season, Brilliant goals again, and Young has learned to play football.

Van Gaal is doing what Moyes didn't have the capability to do which is actually finding a system to suit his players. I think he's done well, but personally I don't see 3 at the back working in the PL. Most teams will set up with 1 striker against him and camp in their own area which negates any of the advantages. Add to that the fact that it's hard to get an overload down the wings unless someone pulls out of position, and the fact that it's easy for the opponent to overload your flanks forcing one of your players to come out of position, means it's an easy formation to exploit. At the end of the day, football formation is about covering the whole pitch in the best way and two at the back is more efficient than 3. It was only really useful as a counter to the 4-4-2 and I don't see many teams lining up like that, especially against Man U. I would have preferred a 4-4-2 diamond like Rodgers last season if I wanted to fit two strikers in.
On the other hand, I'd love to see a smaller team use 3-4-3 to take Man City apart when they have the cheek to play 4-4-2.

If you believe the papers, the new Leeds owner sounds like an absolute nuthead!
