Transfer Window Thread

[bbfan1991]

What transfers do you think will happen?

I'm convinced Charlie Adam will go to Liverpool and Scott Parker will go to Spurs.

I think Arsenal will buy Stecklenburg and will try to get the Serbian CB from Borussia Dortmund (Neven Subotic). Expect the inevitable Fabregas to Barcelona rumours..

Man Utd will buy David De Gea, Wesley Sneijder and Ashley Young (would prefer Alexis Sanchez if it's true Fergie's been following his progress for ages;)).

[bbfan1991]

Craig Bellamy will return to Man City. City will try and buy another Villa player..

[Novo]

Maurice Edu to Liverpool

[bbfan1991]

Sunderland and Everton will be on the look out for strikers.

West Brom will strengthen their defence and add some more firepower to their team.

Spurs may try and get rid of the hapless Hurelho Gomes.

Yeah Rooney would cost way more than 40m.

Ronaldo is not leaving the sunshine and party atmosphere of Madrid for Man City, he actually said he wouldn't play for another English team other than United.

As for Rooney well all that saga is over and i'm convinced he'll remain at United for many years to come..

No way are Arsenal going to get more than £35 million out of the Catalan Government:D.

Rooney has no loyalty whatsoever, wouldn't rule anything out. It would cost more than 40 million though

Ronaldo is not leaving the sunshine and party atmosphere of Madrid for Man City,

He doesn't like the high crime rate in Madrid and wants to move back to his mansion in leafy Cheshire.

Ronaldo was always going to RM at some point, they were his dream club to play for.. Sir Alex convinced him to stay one more season than thought he should go so the saga doesn't drag on anymore.

RM can get lost if they think they're getting Chicharito off us too, he seems to be loving it at Man Utd.

[SocietyIsRuined]

I cannot see Jesus Navas going to Arsenal, he suffers from homesickness.

Diego Perotti might join Liverpool though, he has been linked with them:p.

His homesickness is his weakness. He would be playing for a better team if he didn't get into bouts of it. Unfortunately for Sevilla, he would be the only player I would want from Sevilla. If I was United I would look at Navas to replace Giggs.

I only hope no one goes for Negrado because he's a terrible diver. Would ruin the premiership forever.

Blackpool midfielder David Vaughan has revealed Rangers have expressed an interest in signing him on a free transfer.

Vaughan will shortly be out of contract at Bloomfield Road and has been offered a new deal to stay with the Seasiders.

However, following the club's relegation from the Premier League, the Wales international has been tipped to leave Blackpool.
Sunderland are understood to be favourites to sign the 28-year-old on a three-year contract, while the likes of Everton, Stoke and West Brom have also been linked with bids.

SPL champions Rangers are also keen on the former Crewe Alexandra man and Vaughan is assessing his options regarding his next move.

"I know my agent has spoken to Rangers," Vaughan told STV. "I've just got to take it from there and leave it in his hands.

"In Scotland, Rangers are a massive club and they play in the Champions League. So it is an attraction.

"I've just got to weigh up all my options and see where it takes me."

It is understood the South Coast club is now prepared to cash in on their star man and buy big following their promotion to the Championship.

Carragher has at most 1 full season left in the starting 11. He's already lost about 5 yards on what he used to have. He is 33 now there is no chance he will be starting week in week out at 35.

The operation was successful and now I can look for a good club[for my future]."

Skysports.com understands Celtic and Rangers are ready to make late bids to try and snatch highly-rated midfielder Victor Wanyama.

The Kenya international currently plays for Germinal Beerschot Antwerpen in Belgium and has been attracting interest from across Europe.

The likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle United have checked on him during the past season, while Hannover and Werder Bremen are also rumoured to be keen.

Standard Liege, meanwhile, are hoping to keep Wanyama in Belgium and have agreed a deal with his current club.

However, a transfer has yet to be finalised and that could allow Old Firm rivals Celtic and Rangers to make a late swoop.

It is understood that that SPL duo are prepared to make offers for the defensive midfielder in the hope of snatching him from Standard's grasp.

dunno if it's been posted but I just found this on an Arsenal fansite

It seems that the transfer market is in full swing and manager Arsène Wenger has wasted no time in bolstering the squad.

Reports have emerged today of the club completing the signings of Barcelona starlets Jon Toral and Hector Bellerin.

The Catalan giants are reportedly furious at the coup, having offered the two professional contracts as well.

The pair have signed five year contracts with the club, but we will await official confirmation from the club.

QPR boss Neil Warnock has put James Beattie at the top of his list of summer transfer targets.

The Rangers striker, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Blackpool, could now be set to stay in the Premier League.

Warnock wants a new target man to spearhead his side’s challenge to stay in the top-flight and 33-year-old Beattie has a proven track record.

The former England forward has a year left on his Ibrox contract but the Scottish champions are likely to let him go for a nominal fee.

If Warnock’s move for Beattie fails, he will turn his attention to Tottenham’s Robbie Keane, Fulham’s Andy Johnson or Peterborough star Craig Mackail Smith.



Didn't even score 1 goal in the SPL

Got a feeling now Ashley Young is going to end up at United as the rumours are gathering more pace.

Stewart Downing to Liverpool?

[Grimnir]

United need GK to replace van der Sar.

We should try get Lahm or Maicon for RB.

Sneijder is rumoured and would be excellent buy.

Young is very good wide player and can also play off the strikers too.

Most important Ferguson should get a new assistant manager from Europe who has great tactical knowledge of the game. This is vital.

[bbfan1991]

Sneijder has said he intends to stay at Inter Milan but this is football where one player has said something and has done the opposite..

[Locke.]

You can have Young he is overpriced if he is in the last year of his contract. His wage will be really high aswell. Albrighton and Downing are better.

You heard it here first

A week ago the Mackems were 3/1 to sign Ba and we were 5/1, I also heard about Defoe too, we need someone like that with a lot of pace and an eye for goal. Although it would be typical of Ashley to buy some wage thief like Owen again.

Nate, did yous sign Bamba in the end? He's a good player and can chip in with a few goals but I do have my doubts after his time at Hibs, I think he'd be best suited as a squad player at Villa.

I would say a move to Villa for Bamba would be punching a bit above his weight, I can't see him going much further than the Championship. He's too prone to the odd mistake now and then, he will also pretty unloyal to us missing training/coming back late when with the Ivory Coast squad.

[seanraff07]

I don't think Defoe should go to Newcastle.. IMO they should try and look for a future England young striker to develop but buy 1 or 2 experienced players as more back up.

I heard we were after Daniel Sturridge, would be a great signing IMO.

[bbfan1991]

He would indeed:).

[King Gizzard]

Think they will get rid of Anelka and Sturridge will be his replacement

He's off on u21 duty soon anyway so nothing will be sorted for a while

[bbfan1991]

Do we think Luca Modric will leave Spurs for Chelsea or Manchester United?

[Locke.]

Blackburn starlet Phil Jones has been told to stay away from a top-four super power just now – by boss Steve Kean.

England Under-21 centre-half Jones is wanted by Liverpool and Arsenal, with Tottenham and even Manchester City among his list of admirers as Rovers fear a massive bid.

But Kean is pleading with Jones to stay with his local club where he can make better progress as a regular rather than risk a fight for a game at a giant outfit.

[seanraff07]

Do we think Luca Modric will leave Spurs for Chelsea or Manchester United?

I think he'll stay with Spurs.

He's better than Carrick though so could do a job with Fletcher and Park in the middle.

[King Gizzard]

I have an irrational hate for Steve Kean. Just think the guy is an asshole and all talk no substance. It would take a douche to be happy with going to India every other week to talk to the owners when they can just talk over the phone.

I hope theres no Blackburn fans on here, I want them to go down next season

[Locke.]

A couple of reliable Liverpool journalists on twitter have picked up on that Young to Liverpool story now. Still don't see it happening myself

[King Gizzard]

Someone told me he left the england squad for the Switzerland game to get it sorted :joker: yeah right won't happen for a week now

Sooner it's sorted the better

I hope Young goes to Liverpool and that United try to get Alexis Sanchez.

Atletico Madrid confirm Sergio Aguero is NOT joining Real Madrid and that the Real chairman has agreed to it.

[Locke.]

Lille striker Gervinho is planning to announce this week which club he will be joining this summer.

The Ivory Coast international is being tipped to leave France and a number of Premier League clubs are interested.

Newcastle are the latest name in the frame and The Magpies have been linked with a €11million (£9.5m) bid.

However, the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool are also said to be interested, so the Magpies will have a fight on their hands.

Gervinho has confirmed he loves the Premier League, but he is not ruling out possible moves to Spain or Germany.

"During the week I'll announce my decision so that everyone knows," he told skysports.com.

"I love the Premier League, but I have interest from Spain and Germany as well, so let's wait and see."

[Locke.]

Manchester United target Ashley Young has made a decision on where his future lies, and has chosen to sign a deal with Liverpool, according to BBC Radio.

Happy about Young, but depressed about this:

We've apparently agreed a deal with Newcastle for Joey Barton :bawling:

Jordan Henderson from Sunderland to Liverpool

We are definitely in for Henderson now.. Think that means that we won't be getting Charlie Adam.

Fabregas to Chelsea for £60M? Abramovich, what a mug!

[bbfan1991]

Speaking to TF1's Telefoot ahead of France's game with Poland, Nasri said: "I don't know if I will sign a new contract. Anyway, the discussions are ongoing. For the moment, I don't think about this. We will speak about it after the match with Poland.

''Do I want to go to Man United? First, we should see if it's real and if it is concrete."

Nasri wants out of Arsenal? Tbh I cannot see him joining United and he may just be trying to force Arsenal to adhering to his terms of a new deal.

Papers claming Tevez has been told he can leave Manchester City and that apparently Wesley Sneijder has gone to California with his to decide whether to sign for Man City or Man Utd.. He said he wanted to stay at Inter before:conf:

[King Gizzard]

Highly doubt they'd give him to one of their rivals

Probably Madrid or something like that

[bbfan1991]

Yep so far so good.... Just wish we'd give Barton a new contract, and Enrique.

[bbfan1991]

It's alleged Enrique is going to Liverpool and it would be a blow to lose Barton, but if the club act quick and use the cash from their sales if they go to get two decent replacements in with time to spare unlike the Carroll deal then it could work.. Of course the club would want to hang onto them though!:)

Well it looks like we're already eyeing up a possible replacement for Enrique, Neil Taylor from Swansea... http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6966953,00.html

Knowing Ashley he won't want to keep them, he'll want to get money for them while he still can then he'll make cheap replacements, like Taylor.

[bbfan1991]

Tbh a good player like Enrique was going to go at some point;). I bought him on FIFA 11 playing as Sevilla:D.

[Locke.]

I can't believe we're spending £16 Million on Henderson. He's a good player but he is only worth half of that.

Henderson is promising but he's not all that IMO, will probably end up warming the bench at Anfield.

Nathan Tyson leaves Nottingham Forest to join Derby:shocked:.

Papers reporting Alexis Sanchez apparently agreed terms with Barcelona. Barca offering Bojan plus cash. Bit surprised at that because it'll be tough for him to break into that side but he does have the talent to do it!

Man Utd apparently close to signing Ashley Young.

Liverpool close to allegedly signing Brazilian goalkeeper Doni from Roma, according to his agent;).

[bbfan1991]

Sky Sports again claiming that Arsenal and Liverpool are fighting it out for the signatures of Scott Dann and Phil Jones.

Phil Jones is coming to Liverpool. Dann will go to Arsenal

I can see Dann going to Liverpool, being a hometown boy. Maybe Jones will go there too?

Can see Arsenal going for Samba instead...

[Locke.]

Not sure about Dann, haven't heard anything about that deal for a while.

We're loaning Wilson back to Rangers, so there is space for at least one new CB. I think Kyrgiakos is out of contract now too, but apparently he had a clause in his contract where he could add a year extension after playing so many games, so he could still be staying.

We need full backs and wingers more than CB's though.

What I don't understand is that apparently Liverpool are aiming to play Henderson on the wing if he signs, what is the point because it wouldn't work with him being a natural Centre Midfielder:conf:.

Wilson will sign for Rangers permanently again. Liverpool are rightly aiming to use younger talent but atm surely finding more experienced players to compete for that 4th place is important?

[Locke.]

Henderson has played on the right a lot for Sunderland this year. I'm hoping this deal falls through though, I think he's a good player but we're being ripped off.

I think at the minute the main plan is to have a mix of experience and youth, with the youth mainly being the back up players getting game time every now and then.

Surely Liverpool know better and actually retreat if they think it's not worth it. Obviously some transfer prices are way too high and some players don't end up justifying their tags.. a joke in some cases really!:joker:

Trust me even United fans didn't know Hernandez would turn out to be a bargain at the start;). He seems happy and grateful despite Madrid sniffing around.

[seanraff07]

A mate told me that Nolan has rejected a new contract at St.James Park, I did read about a week ago that he was interested in re-joining Bolton.

Nolan, Barton and Enrique all leaving though would be a massive blow IMO.

Liverpool Pursuing Chelsea Winger Florent Malouda, Preparing £8 Million Bid

Liverpool needs wingers. Chelsea is planning a major personnel overhaul.

If you put two and two together, a Florent Malouda to Anfield transfer makes some sense.

According to Setanta Sports, Kenny Dalglish is keen on bringing in the 30-year-old French international.

While Liverpool is expected to pursue mainly young players, Malouda, who has just one year left on his contract, could potentially be plucked at value, and a bid of £8 million is being prepared. Malouda, though, is valued at upwards of £17 million, according to TransferMarkt.

The Frenchman scored 15 goals for Chelsea last season, though his assist total dropped from nine in 2009-10 to two in 2010-11.

[Locke.]

Jordan Henderson will join Liverpool after Sunderland accepted a £16.5M offer.

A very reliable source from a North/East club insider.Even after a last ditch attempt by Manchester Utd the player pushed for a move to Anfield.

Utd :nono:

The deal is apparently going to be completed tonight

[KG.]

He's got potential but that is a ridiculously high price imo.

[Locke.]

Hopefully a lot of it will be paid in add ons after appearances/goals etc

[King Gizzard]

Ridiculous price, he's a good player but he's being massively overrated

[Locke.]

The deal is now apparently £13 Million + David Ngog

[Locke.]

Done deal.

Sky Sports understands that Liverpool have agreed terms with Sunderland for England international midfielder Jordan Henderson.

The Reds have been locked in talks with their Premier League counterparts for several days after making their in initial approach last week.

The two clubs have been haggling over the valuation of the 24-year-old, who will undergo a medical with the Merseyside giants on Wednesday.

It is understood that the deal that has been agreed is worth £20million and it will include David N'Gog moving in the opposite direction, subject to him agreeing terms on Wearside.

The French striker will hold talks with the North East club, while Henderson brokers his move to Anfield.

Henderson is due to link up with England Under-21 squad ahead of the European Championships which begins this weekend, and both clubs are eager for the move to be completed before then.

[AJ.]

Isn't he about 19, not 24?

Henderson hasn't shown anything like a £20M pricetag, I bet sunderland are laughing, £13M & Ngog is crazy?

[Locke.]

Sunderland wanted £20 Mil, the way I'm looking at it is we've paid £13 Million and gave them a player who'd be in our reserves next season.

And yeah he's only 20

[Locke.]

Phil Jones is signing for Utd. Great signing for them but I don't really see the point from Jones' point of view.

He turned Arsenal down when he could fit straight into there starting 11 next season, to sit on the bench/play for the reserves at Utd.

[bbfan1991]

Chuffed about Phil Jones signing for United:), he has a lot of potential and plus the squad is rotated so he'll be needed.

Henderson off to Anfield then with N'Gog joining Sunderland..

Sunderland make offers for 3 United players ( two are Wes Brown and Darron Gibson). They're not naming the third, I suspect it's Danny Welbeck which they'll get told no because Sir Alex wants to keep him!

Zoltan Gera might be staying at Fulham after all.

[DDRickyDD]

I don't think Phil Jones is all that good to be honest, he could be a flop.

[bbfan1991]

Sky Sports claiming that Man United have stepped up supposed interested in Samir Nasri? Still cannot see him at United next season tbh. Still think we'll try and sign either Modric or Sneijder.

Rumours that Arsenal are interested in Eden Hazard from Lille.

I'd class them as a smaller team ;)

If we're getting rid of him though then we'll need to replace him as we'll have a lack of attacking midfield options.
