Natalie Sawyer still looking good I see, Drew.

Of course, the main matter was Higuain but my penis led me elsewhere.

[aman201]

Juve stepping up the chase for Higuain too.

Would be great to see Arsenal fail to get him.

[Brother Leon]

Apparently close to signing Thiago,Strootman and Garay. Not fussed over Garay, but if we sign Thiago and Stootman I may well jizz on my laptop.

Yeah Isco is gone, I had more faith the last couple of weeks City would be for him but over the past few days it's clear he'll be in the Madrid squad. Just hope he's going to get some playing time. :pipe:

[King Gizzard]

23m is a steal..City better hope he just chose Madrid over City because he'd have been a great signing and more important than Fernandinho and Navas

[aman201]

Isco at his age is better than David Silva was at his age.

He's going to be amazing.

[King Gizzard]

Cardiff signing Andreas Cornelius from Copenhagen, scored 18 goals in his first professional season, 18 years old

[Ryan57]

It's broken down anyway I heard, something about Thiago getting advice from Gio Dos Santos who said it was crap here Lol and the tax

If true, what a dumb reason. Graham Hunter states about Dos Santos not getting much game time was what he told Thiago. Wtf? Difference is, our midfield is 'effin embarrassing and he'd be in the starting XI.

[King Gizzard]

Was pictured in a United kit as a kid too

[King Gizzard]

the mighty ipswich

nah, good player, just awfully advised, should have stayed at Barca where he was playing a bit, instead got ****ed over at Tottenham which stunted his growth

[Drew.]

his club have just been relegated and he looked really impressive at the confed cup.. Would be a great signing for a club like Cardiff or Swansea

[Ryan57]

Thiago just tweeted 'I (heart shape here) Barcelona' with a picture of himself sunning it up.

"I've been a manager for 35 years. I've been 'Manager of the Year'. I've won every award there is in football as a player.

"I've been a manager for 35 years. I've been 'Manager of the Year'. I've won every award there is in football as a player. I think all those qualities put me head and shoulders above every other director of football."

Manchester United sources have stated to ESPN that a deal for Thiago Alcantara is now "very close", as the club feel the situation has taken a positive turn over the past few days.

One Old Trafford official admitted that the process had often been frustrating and likened it to the negotiations for Wesley Sneijder in 2011.

The difference is that there is now a much stronger sense that the move for the Barcelona midfielder will end up successful. There is a tentative hope that they may even be able to announce the transfer at David Moyes' first press conference as United boss.

In the past few summers, United thought they had secured deals for Sneijder, Mesut Ozil, David Silva and Karim Benzema only for each move to collapse late on. This time, however, United feel they "couldn't possibly have done more" - from clauses to wages.

Cavani expected at PSG this week, Napoli to sign Mario Gomez and Damiao. Spurs gave up on Damiao while ago but that will disappoint Soton

What a shock it'd be if Cavani ends up in France as well as Falcao. Expected one to go to Chelsea and the other to City.

[King Gizzard]

PSG have the fanbase to be successful, Monaco don't, be interesting to see if their owner gets bored, seems more of a loose cannon than the guys at PSG who seem to have a strategy

That said, Monaco have been signing some good youngsters recently

Indeed. But if the Monaco owner is serious, things will change. Chelsea have became quite a force in the US in recent years.

[King Gizzard]

why are they ****ing about with Higuain

[Drew.]

i dont know but its pissing me off, we wont sign him i bet..

[King Gizzard]

I saw that he's back training in Spain

[Drew.]

i heard that too, but their pre season doesnt start till next week so its a bit odd?

[Ryan57]

Carlo Ancelotti, the former Chelsea manager, plans a sit-down meeting with Higuain to work out his future.
It is understood Ancelotti believes there is a place for the 25-year-old Higuain in his set-up.
But if the striker makes it clear he wants to leave, then he will be allowed to do so.

Altidore having medical at Sunderland, Austin Having a medical at hull. At chelsea bid for ruddy rejected.
If ruddy knows whats good for him he would stay at Norwich instead of rotting on the chelsea bench

Ruddy to Chelsea would be one of the strangest ever transfers

“The Premier League? No” was the player’s short, blunt response when asked whether he might consider a move to his former club or to join Jose Mourinho at Chelsea. “No way, no chance,” was all that Xabi added after being pestered by journalists on Monday.

hoping Pepe to City doesn't happy because he is one almighty ****

Was just going to post about this.

Be even tougher for him in England. He's a great defender for 65 minutes, but then he tires and goes around twatting everyone.

Be brilliant to watch him up against Peter Crouch.

[King Gizzard]

Benteke hands in transfer request

[King Gizzard]

Such a ****. We don't have to sell for less than 30m though

[Ryan57]

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has dismissed speculation Gonzalo Higuain is about to join Arsenal by revealing the Premier League club are yet to make an offer.

[Brother Leon]

Did someone quote me when I said Benteke would go City?

It ain't too late.

[Shaun]

he'd be foolish to, wouldn't get a look in at all.

[Black Dagger]

Did someone quote me when I said Benteke would go City?

It ain't too late.

He's probably not on our radar tbh. What with Jovetic potentially coming and the interest in Negredo.

[Drew.]

Spurs will be in for him now most likely

[Locke.]

West Ham in talks with us over Downing. £8m apparently. Sorted himself out in the second half of last season and was very good, won't complain if we can get that much for him though.

Joe Cole, Andy Carroll, and Stewart Downing. West Ham can't get enough of our flops.

I haven't really seen that much of Deulofeu apart from some International tournament on Eurosport when he was playing for Spain Under 19's i think and he was the best player on the field by far

[Novo]

Carlo Nash still going strong in the premiership, don't know how he does it since he hardly ever plays

He's very good, it'll be Neymar Messi Deulofeu in a couple of years

Love that we're playing hardball with Benteke, Spurs want him but cheaper but we're not budging from 25m. Benteke's gonna find no one wants him and will grovel back to us/sack his agent

people remembered afonso alves so are hesitant to buy a top scorer from Eredivisie

we nearly signed him for 3m last season, I doubt I'd pay 12m

[King Gizzard]

and that swansea shirt is horrible

[Drew.]

his goal scoring record has been pretty average except from last season so i suppose is it a bit of a risk.. and yeah its not as nice as last seasons shirt

[Ryan57]

bet it happens

Probably. We are 'effin wank at negotiating.

Don't get how we haven't wrapped up a deal for a player who has a pissing release clause.

[King Gizzard]

Probably the lure of Pep if anything. He said in an interview today he asked Bayern to get him

No Fergie might be an issue for some players..even if the club is still huge

[Brother Leon]

We ain't gonna sign a midfielder are we? The legacy of Sir Alex lives on :worship: :joker:

[Drew.]

Probably the lure of Pep if anything. He said in an interview today he asked Bayern to get him

No Fergie might be an issue for some players..even if the club is still huge

this will definitely play a part now, same with Chelsea and Mourinho except he'll attract names

[King Gizzard]

Might be worth United asking for Kroos or someone

[Ryan57]

No Fergie is an issue, but every summer we miss out. Our team of negotiators must be crap.

[Drew.]

no wonder Peps been so successful when hes able to bring in all these players
