What's more fun than Oliver Kahn and a big stein of beer?
As if last season wasn't bad enough...
Ribery Unlikely to Hang Around I sense Franck Ribery may not be long for Bayern Munich. "Scarface," as he is known, has endured an injury ravaged season to date, and there have been question marks about his commitment to Bayern after a summer of fevered speculation over his future.

The transfer window opens on January 1 in many countries including England, Italy and Spain. I thought I'd take a look at a few players currently being talked about. Luca Toni was desperate to get out of Bayern Munich due to a lack of playing time under coach Louis van Gaal, who he hasn't seen eye to eye with since the Dutchman touched down in Bavaria last summer. He has now agreed to join Roma on a loan deal as he eyes a place in Italy's World Cup squad.

Melo in the Dustbin Felipe Melo was meant to be one of the missing links in the Juventus team, a man capable of transforming the Bianconeri into title challengers. A US$30 million signing from Fiorentina, the Brazilian international was one of Juve's two big summer signings, with fellow countryman Diego the other. So far, Melo has flopped, and to cap off a miserable first four months of the season, he has now won the Bidone d'Oro (Golden Bin), a prize commemorating the worst signing of the season in Italy. He polled 22.87% of the vote. Melo in the Dustbin originally appeared on About.com World Soccer on Thursday, December 17th, 2009 at 07:00:32.
