Transfer Window Thread (Part 2)

[Ryan57]

1. I can't see him doing it to Arsenal. Admittedly, nowadays the majority of players don't have loyalty, but I think he does. I may be proven wrong, however.He took a pay cut and even payed to get away from them in the first place and one of his best mates in RVP is at United already

He spent the best part of two summers trying to get this move. He's been there for just two seasons. To want to leave, after all the work to get there, would have made it pointless Cold hard truth is there is a world cup coming up and if he realistically wants to be starting those WC games he needs first team club football and new manager or not if you think he is splitting up the Iniesta/Xavi duo you crazy

With Thiago gone, if he's worried about playing time, that shouldn't be an issue. Xavi is nearing the end of his career. Thiago was injured last year yet Fab still didn't get the gametime he will need for a WC starting place. Regardless if he is getting older there is ZERO chance of him and Iniesta being split up any time in the next 3 years the fans would turn on the manager and club just like that

New manager will most likely see a place in his team for him. He'd be an idiot if he didn'tNo doubt warming the bench for Xavi and Iniesta



If/When Barca accept a bit for him it will just show him first hand how much importance they really put on him.

He paid some towards his fee, yes, but still holds Arsenal in his heart. Well, so he says. Ronaldo said we treated him like a slave (PMSL), but he'd probably only return to England to play for United.

He's been in the Spain squad during his time at Barcelona. Even started as a false number 9 in the Euros. He will get games for Spain.

I just really can't see him going. Would of course love to be wrong.

[Legend killer]

Reality check. We aren't getting him. Moyes and Woodward will get us Cabaye and Felliani just before the season, if even that. Can't believe how much of a joke we have become in the market since Gill departed.

Midifeld of Giggs , Scholes , Fat Ando and Cleverly

SAF on buying a CM "There is no value in the market"

We have been a joke in the market for 5 years now need I remind you we paid 19 for Ashley bloody Young and 10 mil on a player we never even saw before

Felliani + Cabaye would be a HUGE step up from what we have so you using them in a negative statement when you had the nerve to defend playing a converted OAP winger in the centre and bringing out a retired player to man our midfield gets on my tits

[Legend killer]

We are two centre mids away from being up there with the best. Nani in particular will be on another level this year under Moyes due to his allowing of wingers to come inside rather then stick to the touchline and will be like a new signing.

Either Modric or Fab will be coming this summer so just sit back and enjoy the ride

[Jemal]

New start for nani, and you just wait he will be among those ballon d'or nominations in no time again. Shift valencia and young out the club please. How young is on 130k a week and then nani asked for the same wages and gets slated by sir Alex. English player biased i guess. Nani on the left and Zaha on the right. Kagawa behind Robin. Fabregas and Carrick. With Januzaj Coming off the bench in some games. This is all provided wazza leaves.

[Ryan57]

Fellaini and Cabaye would obviously be a step up. I want better though.

[Legend killer]

Carrick and Fellani would be a more then Orgasmic Defensive partnership. Of course we would all prefer the Fabs or Modric's of this world but I could make a solid argument in favour of a Fellaini -Carrick defensive partnership being better suited to beating Bayern/Barca

[King Gizzard]

You can't have Fabianho Delph

Can't say I'm a fan of this Cesc playing in the hole talk. What about Kagawa?

Pique: Fabregas wants to stay.
Piqué can go FCK off the whipped prick. Since he married shakira hes been puré ****e on the footy field. He'll never be the same this season after getting ripped apart by Neymar in the CONFED cup.

Fabregas considering his future due to no assurances as yet. Barca willing to accept £35 mil, apparently.

Sports daily Marca, which is well known for its close allegiance to Real, also claims that Bale will be paid 10m Euros (£8.6m) a season and has already told Spurs he wants to leave.

Interesting. I think Liverpool will dig their heels in to keep him and will think he should show them some loyalty after sticking by him, but he must be so desperate to get out of there since he is acting like a victim over the things he has done:joker:.

I won't be surprised if Rooney ends up staying at United after all, apparently Coleen wants to stay in the North West with their children and if he wants to go United should only sanction it once a replacement is brought in.

Ideally I do want Rooney to stay, but it is up to him to provide the goods if he does.

Good business by Napoli for Higuain too.

Luis Suarez pins hopes on Premier League settling Liverpool-Arsenal stand-off

Luis Suarez would be happy for the Premier League to step in and settle his contract-clause dispute with Liverpool such is the conviction of the player and his agent, Pere Guardiola, that they are in the right.

The League may offer to mediate in the row between Liverpool and Arsenal, and the player’s camp are understood to welcome independent arbitration stressing that both verbal and written assurances were given in the renegotiation of the Uruguayan striker’s contract last summer.

[King Gizzard]

Why didn't he just say he wanted CL football instead of all that crap he came out with? That would have been better and more people would have accepted it, instead he is going to look like a twat when he goes to Arsenal

[Brother Leon]

Too late...way too late lol

[Drew.]

Leon is right, he had already made himself look like a twat.. cant imagine how much **** will happen if he does something controversial again if he does come to us, thats the worrying thing.

[King Gizzard]

Well obviously, but still

[Locke.]

He will always do something controversial, has been the same at every club hes been at. But it's worth it for his goal return.

LIVERPOOL have submitted a £21.8million bid for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa.

The offer triggers the Brazil international's 25million Euros release clause and the Reds are now awaiting a response from the Spanish outfit.

Another attacking option has been top of boss Brendan Rodgers' summer wish list and he believes the 24-year-old fits the bill.

Costa is not viewed by Liverpool as a potential replacement for Luis Suarez, whose future at Anfield is uncertain. The Reds remain determined to keep hold of the Uruguayan frontman.

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/liverpool-fc-make-22million-bid-5429740

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't aware of him before last night but after reading about how crazy he is, watching a few videos of him and seeing his impressive scoring record (over the last 2 seasons), I'm looking forward to this.

Well According to ESPNFC.com Clint Dempsey to Seattle is actually Legit.

EDIT: I see that Nathan has posted it as well. I posted the Dempsey story hours ago and I saw the new story a few hours after.

[Drew.]

its a shame, he should have never left Fulham.. was an exciting player to watch in his last season there

[BBfanUSA]

Seattle paid 9 Million USD and he's signed on for a 4 Year 8 Million a year contracts. Both are records in the MLS per NBC Sports

[Novo]

he is better then the MLS, wasted.

[Locke.]

Thank god we didn't meet his asking price last year

[Drew.]

he probably would have fitted in better at Liverpool to be honest

First half of the season he would have came in handy but he would definitely be the weak link of our attacking options now

Manchester United have rejected a second bid from Chelsea for wantaway striker Wayne Rooney, Sky sources understand.

Chelsea has a zero chance of getting him, any EPL team not named Manchester United has no chance.

if he's going anywhere it will be outside of England.

unfortunately this is the case...

They've signed Fred, Nem, Fernando and now Bernard this season..to go with the 5-6 other brazilian attackers they've got, ridiculous..I've read before the owner created like a little Brazilian village with brazilian shops/restaurants where they could all live, don't know how true that is

[King Gizzard]

my hopes were raised for a few minutes at least.. if they had kept Fernandinho and Willian they would have had a frightening squad.. they've got so many good young talent

Suarez has finally spoken.. i am almost certain he will be joining us now

"Luis Suárez has pleaded with Liverpool to fulfil the promise they made a year ago and let him leave Anfield. The Uruguay striker insists that he is prepared to submit a written transfer request by the end of the week if the club continue to block his move to Arsenal. Speaking for the first time since Arsenal made a £40,000,001 bid for him, Suárez told the Guardian he believes that he has been left little alternative.

Suárez claims the club told him they would let him depart if they failed to qualify for the Champions League this season and that a clause in his contract allows him to leave should someone make a bid of more than £40m. He says he has the backing of the Professional Footballers' Association and that he his prepared to take the issue to the Premier League to force his exit and move to the Emirates before the transfer window closes on 2 September.

"Last year I had the opportunity to move to a big European club and I stayed on the understanding that if we failed to qualify for the Champions League the following season I'd be allowed to go," he revealed. "I gave absolutely everything last season but it was not enough to give us a top-four finish – now all I want is for Liverpool to honour our agreement."

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/aug/06/luis-suarez-liverpool-arsenal-transfer?CMP=twt_gu

[bbfan1991]

The nerve of Luis Suarez, especially after LFC have stuck by him LOOL.

I thought he hated the English media? Now he is talking to them. What a stupid and hypocritical person he is.

[bbfan1991]

I suppose at least Luis Suarez has had the guts in publicly saying that he wants to leave his club, meanwhile a certain Wayne Rooney is still continuing his silence and probably has not gut the guts to do so...

[King Gizzard]

Using the papers he accused of giving him **** a few weeks ago to help get him a move, such a twat, Liverpool would be good to get rid and I'd rather he left the PL

[bbfan1991]

Liverpool should basically stick it to him and refuse to sell to Arsenal at any cost and flog him to whoever is interested abroad if they receive any offers...

[Locke.]

He is done here now, but we won't sell to Arsenal

[Brother Leon]

I'll just leave this here...

http://therepublikofmancunia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Dalglish-Suarez-t-shirt.jpg

What fools they all feel like now lol

[bbfan1991]

I can't see Real Madrid being interested because of them going after Bale, maybe Atletico could be with the Falcao cash to use and the fact Liverpool are after Diego Costa too?

[Jesus.]

Can't find the quotes yet, but Werner and Henry are supposed to have come out and said that he won't be going to Arsenal. Take it with a pinch until any quotes appear.

[Locke.]

‘I don't know why people ask us if we are selling the club or the best players because we are not,’ said Henry, who will attend a Liverpool match this evening for the first time in 13 months. ‘We like to buy stuff, not to sell. We are not selling our best player.’

Is what Henry has said

PSG scared Barcelona off Thiago Silva by threatening to pay Lionel Messi's £200 million release clause if they went any further in their interest of Silva.

[Drew.]

i dont get why he'd even sign a contract with a release clause in it

[King Gizzard]

It's law in Spain to have a release clause isn't it

and they can't be too ridiculously high or something

[King Gizzard]

but tbh if you're PSG, and there wasn't FFP, I'd be tempted to pay that for Messi, if Bale is going for 100m..

[Drew.]

that might explain why every player in Spain seems to have a release clause

[Brother Leon]

Doubt Messi would go there even if they matched the clause.

[bbfan1991]

Doubt Messi would go there even if they matched the clause.

Sometimes if it is automatically matched then there is nothing the club can do e.g. look at Gotze, even though he wanted to go to Bayern and Dortmund really did not want to sell him they could not do anything once the price was met.

[King Gizzard]

Good piece on why Anzhi have put everyone up for sale: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23603167

Tony Barrett ‏@TonyBarretTimes 3m

#LFC owner @John_W_Henry today told the national media that Luis Suarez will not be allowed to join Arsenal (or anyone else) this summer.



Can see him playing (and doing well) for them again. Unless this is a ploy to make Madrid bid but I doubt it

[Locke.]

"I'm unequivocal that we won't sell to Arsenal, whatever the bid is," he said. "I have not said it to Stan [Kroenke, Arsenal's majority shareholder] but I had a personal conversation with others at Arsenal and told him [Gazidis] we would not sell to Arsenal."

"He won't be sold even if a foreign club comes in because we do not have time to sign a suitable replacement," he said. "It's a football reason. It's not about finances. That's why at this point, so late in the window, with everyone who's already moved or isn't moving, we can't replace him. So for football reasons we can't sell, and especially to Arsenal."

[Drew.]

getting different opinions every day, iv gone from being positive about him joining to being pretty confident he wont be leaving Liverpool now.. i cant think of another striker on his level that we could buy this summer..

[King Gizzard]

I just know Benteke rumours will start up again with Liverpool and Arsenal but we can ask for even more now

bale gutted spurs down down 80 million.....I sort of have sympathy for him

The Spanish papers reckon that Real Madrid fans reckon that Bale is worth between £60-70 million, so maybe their club has backed down from that ridiculous £90-£100 million price range.

[Shaun]

I have to laugh at all of these "classless" comments being thrown around by top Liverpool positions

we... submitted two bids? How is that classless? LOL We're not the ones talking to the press about it, banishing him from the team training, and refusing to let him go.

[Jesus.]

I think negotiating with his agent to find out about a confidential contract clause, then bidding £1 over it, is about as classless as it gets. Wenger talked about the bids in public as well.

Those bids seriously undervalued the player, so they were put in purely to continue to upset the player.

I think all transfer deals are done in a pretty classless way these days, but the 40+1 bid ended any chance you had of either dealing amicably with Liverpool, or getting the player.

Wenger has spoken about bidding for Luis, Luis has spoken about it all, so I think the people who hold his contract (and I'm no fan of FSG) have every right to put their point across as well.

If Arsenal weren't trying to undermine clubs and players, you'd have already signed Higuain by now.
