khay 10 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Real Madrid have announced the signing of Italy World Cup-winning captain Fabio Cannavaro and Brazil midfielder Emerson from Juventus. The pair, who have signed a two-year deal with a further one-year option, will link up with their former Juve boss Fabio Capello at the Bernebeu. Spanish radio said the deal was worth a combined 20 million Euros (£13.7m) Juventus were relegated from Serie A last week after the match-fixing scandal which rocked Italian football. They will start the 2006/07 campaign in Serie B with a 30-point deficit. Real are looking to rebuild after three years without a trophy and the pair are the first arrivals at Madrid since new president Ramon Calderon came to power earlier this month. A statement on the club's website said: "Real Madrid can confirm it has reached an agreement with Juventus over the signing of Fabio Cannavaro and Emerson. "The players are currently on holiday and will be presented at the Bernabeu after signing their respective contracts." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GafferTape 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) Seeing as we're talking kits, quite impressed that Barcelona have the whole 5 year deal with Unicef logo on their shirt thing going on. And they're donating a share of their profits to the UN Millenium Development Goals. Edited July 20, 2006 by GafferTape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the aims in the past to make NUFC the 'Barcelona of the North' sadly we are and always have been a millions miles from their ethos.

mrkikiet 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 nope i'm not joking. the whole fcbarcelona thing annoys the fuck out of me. they're like demi-gods. can't do anything wrong. well from having siad they won't have a shirt sponsor they now have one. they reckon they're like some healing hand, bringing unity to the world through the beautiful way they play football and their mentality on and of the pitch. The supporters are even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GafferTape 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Unicef aren't exactly their sponsors. Barcelona aren't getting anything out of it as far as I remember. It's more of a raising awareness of Unicef exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
