SPOILER ALERT:

Six months into his lucrative four-year contract with Turkish giants Besiktas, Allan McGregor has left the club citing non-payment of wages and homesickness as the reasons for walking away. "They don't do them like Abra-Kebabra on Sauchiehall Street, byraway" said the goalkeeper.

Hold the phone. Reading have re-signed Nicky Shorey. Remeber Nicky Shorey? 10 years ago he was FUTURE ENGLAND LEFT BACK Nicky Shorey. Now he's just NO CHANCE Nicky Shorey.

He's 31, so still plenty of time to fuck Ashley Cole's shit up!

Future England left back!

Pfft. He can get in line behind Paul Konchesky.

I think Park is a fantastic bit of business.

He's quite clearly an excellent football player - can create, score and works incredibly hard. He also brings the whole asian fan thing, which is always a bonus. I often thought he'd be a star man at a lesser club - he performs so consistently well at Man Utd and sticks to his job to the letter, without that strict instructions who knows what he's capable of. Genuinely excited to see him play at QPR.

What a terrible shame, I'm sure Ronaldinho really needs that 760 thousand dollars.

Things got worse on Monday, as Coca-Cola terminated a lucrative sponsorship deal with the former superstar after he was seen drinking Pepsi at a news conference, Xinhua reports.

"Coca Cola recognizes the career and the value of Ronaldinho," the beverage giant said in a statement. "However due to recent developments it has become impossible to continue the partnership."

Ronaldinho was speaking to the press about an upcoming game with his new club Atletico Mineiro. Two cans of Pepsi were placed on the table in front of him, and the 32-year-old sipped from one of them.

Marketers at Coca-Cola were understandably upset, and they ended the company's partnership with the former Brazil and FC Barcelona star. Ronaldinho was earning $750,000-a-year from the endorsment deal, which was scheduled to run until 2014.

Is there a website that has a comprehensive, simple list of world transfers? Like the BBC page, but not just the UK.

That is a good question that I thought I answered but didn't because I'm stupid. BACK SOON.

Edit #2: I was close http://soccernet.espn.go.com/transfers/transfer/_/year/2012/month/7/?cc=5739

It's almost entirely English/Scottish transfers but I don't know if that's because no one else is doing anything or not. If you go to the Serie A in list of leagues there are a deals with no British involvement so they must include them in some way.
