不过英镑对于欧元的贬值趋势很厉害，2000年是1.75，2003至2007上半年维持在1.5左右，此后又是一路下跌，到现在的1.26，也许再过两年会跌破1元大关。
Agent set for Inter talks over Chelsea's Lampard
tribalfootball.com - June 19, 2008
Frank Lampard's Italian agent has revealed he's set for talks with Inter Milan about the Chelsea midfielder.
"At the moment I've been on holiday for about a week," Lampard's agent Franco Granello told Tuttomercatoweb. "But it doesn't seem to me that Lampard's transfer has already been completed.
"I have a meeting with Inter in 10 days but for now I'm enjoying the rest, seeing as I have so little."
Lampard, who turns 30 on Friday, has previously said he wants to stay at Chelsea but is demanding a four-year extension to his current contract while the club are reportedly only prepared to offer him half that.
According to Italian media reports, Inter have already offered the former West Ham player a five-year deal.

Mourinho To Adriano: Listen To Me Or You Can Leave, Again.
The ‘Special One’ has always stated his penchant for the big Brazilian striker and he is looking forward to working with him next season.
Adriano has returned from his loan spell with Sao Paolo and Mourinho has already written down what L’Imperatore needs to do to get back to his best.
Sleep with some no pain, no gain training seems to be the coach’s orders and, if Adriano doesn’t agree, he can go back to Brazil pronto.
“I like Adriano and I wanted him when I was at Porto,” Mourinho told Calciomercato.
“All he needs to do is sleep and train hard. His stay at Inter will all depend on him.
“You have to talk to the player to see what lies in his heart rather than pay attention to what is written.
“It will be a big battle with him but if he doesn’t want to work with me then he can go back to Brazil.”
Adriano was impressive for Sao Paolo and he will want to ensure he continues that form at Inter as Mourinho will not tolerate any of the antics we witnessed last term when Roberto Mancini had no control over the player’s behaviour.
今天没什么新的新闻。
Chelsea's Drogba set for Inter Milan talks next week
tribalfooball.com - June 20, 2008
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba's future is set to be settled next week.
The Sun says Drogba is due in Milan next week after a holiday in the US.
The Ivory Coast striker, 30, already has a house there and Inter will seek permission from Chelsea to speak to him.
从前曾有传说穆导还在切尔西位上时就在米兰附近有个叫Brianza（布里安扎）的地方买了房子。德罗巴在米兰城也买一套房子，那么这对父子的两则传闻连到一起就有点意思了。
在意甲要想称霸，欧洲人是难以战胜南美人的，但非洲人来了就难说了。
如果德罗巴真的来了，那么伊布、阿德、德罗巴这3个人的上场问题是个大问题。
也许兰帕德转会前前后后的事情都是一个策略，真正的目标是德罗巴。兰帕德来意甲是不好的，但这么闹一下，对兰帕德在切尔西的续约加薪很有利，对国米购买德罗巴也会有利。
如果德罗巴来，那么克雷斯波、苏亚佐中间应该走一个，前几天苏亚佐的经纪人曾放话说国米领导已说过苏亚佐不会走，苏亚佐对上场没什么要求，只要保证薪水就行了，据说他如果离开国米，即使打上主力，也很难再拿到这么高的薪水。苏亚佐的速度是特点，只是年纪稍微大了点，靠速度吃饭的越年轻越好，但总的说苏亚佐的存在对国米的“丰富打法”（以前馒头说的）确实是有帮助的。克雷斯波的特点是经验，特别是跑位、抢点，但对抗、体力、速度随着年龄而加速下降，75年的，明年就34周岁了。因此，如果德罗巴来，克雷斯波走的可能性比苏亚佐稍大一点。
从时间安排上，德罗巴的事下周谈，兰帕德的事10天后谈（兰在荷兰度假，其实也不远，他的经纪人不知在哪儿也是在度假），这个安排很有意思，我前面的猜测成真的可能性看起来好象越来越大。
前几年有次我在欧洲从德国到意大利，开车的德国司机在进入意大利的时候跟我说：现在我们开始离开文明世界了。呵呵，在德国、英国人看来，意大利不是文明世界。我不知道意甲有几个在英国混得不错的英国球员过来的，但可以想像，如果兰帕德要说来意大利，那么他周围的亲戚朋友多半会加以劝阻。而德罗巴在非洲长大的，18岁去了法国还有点受人白眼的，这几年到了伦敦也觉得很不爽，我想他到了意大利应该会真正觉得很舒服。
