TRANSFERS TRANSFERS TRANSFERS!

English Premier League stars Fernando Torres and Andy Carroll have changed teams in last minute transfer deals.  Torres has left struggling giant Liverpool to join struggling giant Chelsea while Carroll has left Newcastle United to replace Torres in Liverpool.  In addition to Carroll, Liverpool has also acquired the controversial Uruguayan World Cup hero Luis Suarez from Ajax of the Dutch league.  Makes your head spin, doesn’t it?




We’ve got Yanks on the move in England and Europe as well, with Michael Bradley leaving Germany’s Borussia Moenchegladbach for Aston Villa of the Premier League. Robbie Findley of MLS’s Real Salt Lake has joined League Championship side Nottingham Forest and Eddie Johnson has been loaned out from
EPL's Fulham  to Preston North End, also of the League Championship.  
That's not to mention the fact that Oguchi Onyewu was loaned from Italy's AC Milan to Holland's FC Twente over two weeks ago, where he promptly suffered ANOTHER injury.  Fortunately it was not serious.  Finally  to top it all off, Jozy Altidore and Freddy Adu are headed to Turkey!  Altidore from Spain’s Villareal to Bursaspor of the 1st Division, and Adu from Potugal’s Benfica to Rizespor of the 2nd.   Stay tuned.
