They really have been ripped apart.

[Drew.]

Some people reporting £7m and sky are saying £15m..

Would have been a perfect signing for Liverpool too

[King Gizzard]

but why pay that much for someone when you have debuchy

[Drew.]

Get in

492799855455375360

Jenkinson won't cut it at Arsenal and Debuchy won't be with us for long.. A couple of years as a back up RB and then replacing Debuchy.. Makes sense really.

[Brother Leon]

492796874903273472


Real have bent FFP over and ****ed her in the ass. Not long until more clubs start doing this to battle it.



Kroos
Modric

Bale
James
Ronaldo

Falcao


That team on fifa though....

[King Gizzard]

Monaco boss is doing an Anzhi

[King Gizzard]

oh jesus, Spurs enquire for Rodriguez and Arsenal are getting Schneiderlin too

[King Gizzard]

jesus they're in talks with Carvalho too

[King Gizzard]

still won't win the league unless they get a striker.

[Brother Leon]

oh jesus, Spurs enquire for Rodriguez and Arsenal are getting Schneiderlin too

They want 27m though. That would be nuts.

[Brother Leon]

492807471267061760

LOL

Deep.

[Drew.]

Saints fans are in meltdown over Chambers potentially leaving. They all think he has more about him and the potential to be better than Shaw.. Bargain at £12m

[Shaun]

I feel for saints fans. Have they even bought any replacements yet?

[Brother Leon]

Very strong Cavani rumours again. What the **** are we doing?..

[Brother Leon]

I feel for saints fans. Have they even bought any replacements yet?

They bought upgrades on Lambert and Lallana tbf.

[Brother Leon]

493164407091134464

Please don't be a troll....Just don't see how he doesn't go PSG.

[Drew.]

Thats Ospina wrapped up, great signing and a bargain for £3m. At last some proper competition for Chesney.. can see Ospina becoming our #1 though.

[bbfan1991]

Press reporting that Loic Remy's move to Liverpool is off because he failed the medical.

[bbfan1991]

Thats Ospina wrapped up, great signing and a bargain for £3m. At last some proper competition for Chesney.. can see Ospina becoming our #1 though.

That would be a blow to WC's ego;). Ospina looked good at the WC, but obviously he will have to prove himself in the Premier League!

[Brother Leon]

493395873460928512

5* use of photo :joker:

[Drew.]

Never really understood these failed medicals.. Ba failed his one at Stoke and then ended up playing for Newcastle & Chelsea.

[Brother Leon]

Remy has heart issues. They probably considered it not worth the risk.

[Jemal]

:joker:

Ah lfc. Lfc lfc lfc..

[Jemal]

Cant wait for remy to bag a hattrick against them just like how ba did for newcastle vs stoke. Stoke got karma'd

[bbfan1991]

Looks like Liverpool will have to try for that 'Bony' lad instead:p.

[Locke.]

Gutted about Remy tbh, think he'd have been brilliant for us.

Ah well, sure we'll have someone else lined up.

[Locke.]

Lovren!!!!!!!!!

http://assets.lfcimages.com/uploads/8443__4806__lovren1000f_513X307.jpg

[Brother Leon]

Meh.

[Locke.]

Left back now please and our defence should be sorted

[Locke.]

https://twitter.com/LukeShaw3/status/493505518540165120

LOL!! The replies, Southampton fans are going mental

[Brother Leon]

Kinda funny how Shaw will go up against half his ex team mates against Liverpool. There better be none of that hugs in the tunnel BS from both sides.

[Shaun]

Chambers confirmed, No.21 arsenal shirt :spin2: four transfers done and dusted

[Brother Leon]

Good business by Arsenal. I stick by what I said. If they get a quality striker then they win the league.

[Shaun]

i really hope we don't go for schneiderlin... especially at the reported valuation :umm2: would rather get carvalho (although personally i really want a striker more than anything else :( )

[Brother Leon]

Oh and Arsenal let every rap fan down by not giving him the number 36 :laugh:

[Brother Leon]

493799349907116032

Bloody hell. 5 a side team soon.

[Locke.]

Harry Maguire to Hull. Really good young defender.

[Locke.]

You know.. it'd be taking the piss a bit if we signed a fourth Southampton player, but I'd really like us to go and get Clyne

[Shaun]

Nathan was rude on Twitter and ignored me, who have Southampton actually SIGNED this window?

[Locke.]

Just Tadic and Pelle I think.

You'd imagine they'd go on a big spending spree sometime soon, but the season starts in 2 and a half weeks so they need to get a move on. Think there main problem will be throwing almost an entire new starting 11 out and getting them to play together rather than finding replacements though.

[Brother Leon]

Tadic and Pelle are upgrades, but that team is going to struggle getting used to each other so quickly. Can see them flirting with relegation for a long time.

[Shaun]

Yeah can only see them scraping top-half this season :(

[Locke.]

LOL. Mitroglou linked with a loan move back to Olympiakos, they've really had Fulham over if that happens

[Locke.]

Simon Clancy ‏@SiClancy 3h
Can't be long till Nathaniel Clyne and James Ward Prowse are shipped out of Southampton.

BenSmithBBC
@SiClancy I know of one Premier League club that have a strong interest in Clyne

Well City have Zabaleta/Sagna, Arsenal Debuchy/Chambers, Chelsea Azpilicueta/Ivanovic, Everton Coleman/Stones/Hibbert, Spurs Walker, Utd Rafael, so it can only be us if it isn't one of the smaller teams

[Brother Leon]

Won't be shocked if we went for him for backup. Rafael lives in the Physio room. We need to spend money elsewhere first though.

[Jack.]

At this rate we are going to end up getting Artur Boruc as our back up goalkeeper :laugh:

[Brother Leon]

493896156846358529

Wonder who gets him next summer.

[Locke.]

Negotiations have progressed between Liverpool and Barcelona over a potential €15m deal for Daniel Agger. [Sport]

No idea if they're accurate or not

[Brother Leon]

Barca fans saying it is a decoy move...I think that is more out of hope though :joker:

[Locke.]

£6.5m rising to £10m with performance related add-ons.. No risk at all really for a player that outshone Lukaku at the World Cup

http://assets.lfcimages.com/uploads/0430__5634__origi1000c_513X307.jpg

[Brother Leon]

Tbf...whoever came off the bench outshone the other.


Good price though.

[Tarryn]

The Vidal saga is doing my head in now.
One paper say's he has agreed terms another say's no way.
I don't think he is joining us.
This transfer window is slipping away again.
If LVG does one thing, please get rid of Woodward.
Can we sell Woodward ?.........anyone.............

[Drew.]

Gutted we never made a move for him but i'm pretty glad he didn't end up at another PL side

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Btu_sVGCAAAwCIj.jpg:large

[bbfan1991]

Barca fans saying it is a decoy move...I think that is more out of hope though :joker:

Marquinhos is their main target apparently.

Sunderland are close to signing young Crewe Striker Max Clayton.

[BBfanUSA]

Lukaku to Everton Confirmed.

[Locke.]

Really good signing. They can stop the shoestring budget nonsense now though.

[Shaun]

Carvalho officially for sale :spin2:

Quite interested in who'll sign Reus, though I reckon he'll stay with Dortmund.

[Drew.]

He's basically ours if we want him then, Hopefully Wenger doesn't go into stubborn mode.. Would pretty much complete the squad.

[Brother Leon]

Wouldn't mind him at all. 37m is pricey though and I bet we won't even go in for him knowing us.

[Samuel.]

24m for Lukaku... Chelsea are having an amazing transfer window

[Shaun]

I swear they paid less for him as well :conf2: (the confusion being he's been largely unnoticeable at Chelsea)

[Samuel.]

Yep, something like 17m. Turning a flop into profit :worship:

[MTVN]

Suppose he has proven his potential and ability to play in the Prem now though, compared to being a bit more of an unknown quantity when Chelsea signed him, didn't realise he only turned 21 quite recently

[Samuel.]

Good deal for both clubs. Lukaku could definitely turn out to be worth that.

[Brother Leon]

Glad he left Chelsea. The lazy Drogba comparisons can stop now.

[Drew.]

Lukaku has scored something like 13 more goals than any other u21 around the top 5 leagues in the last 2 seasons.. This being in the PL too. Definitely one of the signings of the summer, he has unreal potential.

[Brother Leon]

Bertrand to Liverpool confirmed to be complete next week.

494580712704851968

[Shaun]

Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla could be set for a move away from the Emirates, ITV Sport understands.

The Spanish playmaker, who has struggled to settle into the English lifestyle, is interesting La Liga champions Atletico Madrid, who are looking to form a squad capable of competing in the Champions League.

Atletico have lost Diego Costa and Filipe Luis to Chelsea this summer, so have money to spend, recently acquiring French international Antoine Griezmann.

Cazorla spoke glowing about the Spanish champions recently, saying: Atletico and Arsenal have to play the same way, but everyone is looking to win titles.

"They had an incredible season last year. Winning titles takes several campaigns, I admire everything they have conquered. Many people do not realise how hard it is to win a league competing with Barcelona or Madrid."

If Arsene Wenger does offload the the former Malaga man, it would free up money to make a move for German international Marco Reus, who recently rejected a new deal with Borussia Dortmund.

Reus would be an upgrade on the 29-year-old Spaniard, after impressing at Dortmund over the past two years, and would be interested in trying his luck in the Premier League.

:worry: please be BS

[Brother Leon]

ITV Sport don't usually spout BS, but they have been doing it for United a fair bit this window so far. Wouldn't be too shocked if Atletico do want him though.

[Drew.]

It is BS, that was going around for a while about a month ago and he was interviewed during the kit launch and couldn't wait to get started for the new season, he's not going anywhere.

[Brother Leon]

494602114770149376

One for Drew,Shaun etc.

[Shaun]

:laugh: fair point i guess

shall be fun seeing liverpool deflate back to sixth this season though <3

[Drew.]

Suarez pissed off with his dream move and we won a trophy the season we tried to sign him, poor Stevie.

[Locke.]

Last seasons title race > winning one of the domestic trophies and finishing in that same position you finish in every year. And Suarez is too good for Arsenal.

Fantastic to wake up to the news that Bertrand has signed for Southampton as well, I would rather just stick with Enrique than get him.

[Drew.]

Coming second/top 4 for the first time in years is better than consistent CL football and the FA cup? You've lost it David

[Locke.]

Coming top 4 is better than winning the FA Cup, yes. I didn't say it was better than consistently getting top 4.

[Drew.]

Last seasons title race > winning one of the domestic trophies and finishing in that same position you finish in every year. And Suarez is too good for Arsenal.

I think you did David

[Locke.]

Coming second > coming fourth, obviously

[Brother Leon]

494869531387772928

Praise the lord.

[Brother Leon]

Oh and 4th and FA Cup>>>>2nd

If its not first then the rest of the top 4 is the same ****.

[Novo]

Going unbeaten all season and winning the league in any league in the world > 2nd in the Prem

[Locke.]

494869531387772928

Praise the lord.

It's Napoli. I guarantee you they'll offer to loan rather than buy.

[Samuel.]

Technically a trophy is better, but I assure you Liverpool fans had the most exciting season to watch out of any club. Just like last time we finished 2nd, saw the team score 4 against Real Madrid, Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal :worship: take entertainment like that over anything.

[Brother Leon]

There is no entertainment to throwing a title away and finishing second. Give me that ****ty last season under Moyes over "AGUEROOOO" any day of te week. Absolutely soul crushing that was.

[Locke.]

No need to worry about that any longer, we have inflicted heavier pain on City by pretty much eliminating them from the International Champions Cup, they won't recover from this for a long time

[Samuel.]

There is no entertainment to throwing a title away and finishing second. Give me that ****ty last season under Moyes over "AGUEROOOO" any day of te week. Absolutely soul crushing that was.

Good thing we experienced 34 games of entertainment beforehand. Just being able to dream was nice.

As painful as it was to lose out on the title, it feels amazing that we've got out of the 4-5 seasons of mediocrity.

Give it 4 years and you'll understand.

[Shaun]

wait, we're signing Quintero? :suspect:

[Drew.]

I love Quintero, If these rumours are true then it'll be an amazing signing.. Such a good young player. Would suggest Sanchez has been bought to fit the striker role too.

[Locke.]

Apparently we are in for Konoplyanka again. Not sure we really need another attacking mid but he'll most likely cost less than £10m this time around, so why not I suppose

[Drew.]

494896212185985024

"It's real possibility that Juan Fernando Quintero play with Arsenal. It would be coming to London on Monday. Wish is realized."

[Brother Leon]

Some more solid Business for Arsenal.

[Drew.]

Does all seem a bit iffy though.. pretty reliable person reporting it but its the position we least need to strengthen unless Santi does leave but i refuse to let myself believe there's a chance he will.

[Shaun]

Jenkinson loan to West Ham finished

now who starts, Chambers or Debuchy? :think:

[Brother Leon]

494933378408652801

Top business.

[Novo]

He's got disaster written all over him

[Brother Leon]

4m

Can't go wrong.

[Locke.]

Liverpool FC are closing in on a double swoop for Spanish full-backs Alberto Moreno and Javier Manquillo.

The Reds have reopened talks with Sevilla over left-back Moreno and are confident their summer-long pursuit of the Spain international will finally reach a successful conclusion.

A deal for Atletico Madrid right-back Manquillo is at a more advanced stage with Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre having flown to the Spanish capital to complete the transfer.

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-fc-closing-double-swoop-7546066

At lasttttttttttttttttttttttttt. Moreno for around the £20m mark and Manquillo on a 2 year loan with an option to buy, I believe. Defence. Finally. Sorted.

[Novo]

At lasttttttttttttttttttt

[Brother Leon]

494959618196787200

If you needed any proof as to how clueless British Media is....Another 20m for Hummels article :joker:

[Novo]

Seems reliable enough

Message brought to you by ~~ MGW ~~

[Drew.]

Wenger confirming Quintero is BS, Campbell will stay at the club & is part of his plans, Vermaelen could leave, refused to comment on Khedira and said he'll be active in the market until deadline day.. Great stuff.

[Novo]

I don't know if Hangeland is a good or bad signing for Palace, he was pretty shocking last season

[Brother Leon]

495197999350702080

Another 4 quality signings for Arsenal.

[Shaun]

her on the right looks like she could solve the DM problem

[Novo]

Rotherham in talks to sign Stevie May, what a signing that would be for them

[Tarryn]

495197999350702080

Another 4 quality signings for Arsenal.

I'd take them over Tom Cleverly any day.

[Brother Leon]

I find it bizarre that Van Gaal has had all these Press Conferences and not once has a Journo straight up asked about Vidal. It's pretty clear getting anything about Vidal would get crazy clicks,RTs etc and yet none of them ask him. Wenger however is asked straight up if he is signing this or that player. It's so annoying...I want peace of mind already ffs :laugh:

[Tarryn]

But now LVG has stated that we are doing so well we may not need any players..................I really hope this is not true.
We should learn from the errors of last season.
Plus, if we suffer injuries in the early part what do we do then ?.
Woodward has promised new players, so where are they ?.

[Brother Leon]

496272921967329281

**** sake :joker:

[Locke.]

Southampton linked to free agent George Samaras. He has turned down offers from Russia, Turkey and China. Sevilla & Hamburg also interested

Choose Southampton!!!!!!!!!

[Shaun]

free!?!?!?!? what a coup

[Novo]

The thought of Steven Davies playing with Samaras is to much to bare

[Locke.]

Manolas in Italy to discuss a move with Juventus, around 15m Euros. Great signing for them if it goes through.

Olympiacos interested in Guidetti as well.

[Locke.]

Mutch has signed for QPR as well for £6m, great signing for them and a bargain

[Locke.]

Tony Barrett @TonyBarretTimes · 16m
Liverpool have accepted an offer from Bayern Munich for Pepe Reina.

Top guy, shame the way it has all ended but it's time for him to go.

[Brother Leon]

496734137156648961

£25m. **** off.

[Shaun]

pretty generous tbh

[bbfan1991]

I'm hoping that LVG keeps Chicharito, but we'll see.

Pepe Reina going to Bayern Munich is a surprise, he'll be warming the bench quite a lot since Neuer is obviously the #1 there.

[Jack.]

Manquillo has joined Liverpool on a two year loan.

[Locke.]

Selling Coady to Huddersfield for 500k.

He was one of the best players in League 1 last season, will end up back in the PL a few years down the line.

[Shaun]

'Falcao to Liverpool' trending :joker:

[Shaun]

oh god more Reus/Arsenal rumours as well :facepalm: (from Die Welt)

[Locke.]

Both of those wouldn't be that much of a stretch really, although both still won't happen

[Shaun]

his wages must be obscene though

(i wouldn't mind him joining liverpool tbh, rather they do well than chelsea/city :idc:)

[Locke.]

We just saved 200k a week on Suarez though, he's probably similar to that

[Brother Leon]

Benzema signed 5 year deal at Real too.

[Drew.]

A really reliable German paper claims we are leading the race to sign Reus. Wenger has wanted him for years & is desperate to get him.

[Brother Leon]

If these 15m for Crock Vermaelen rumours are true then I'm giving up on the window all together. Let him go to Barca ffs.

[Shaun]

I thought it was 9.5m? edit: that might've been the Barca bid though

[Brother Leon]

Barca bid 10 and we have bid 15 because you would prefer to sell overseas.



Apparently of course

[Locke.]

Not even half the player he was a few years ago either, is he?

[Shaun]

can't remember anything special last season really

[Brother Leon]

He's a crock really. Not a clue how Barca and United are both after him :laugh:

[Tarryn]

If these 15m for Crock Vermaelen rumours are true then I'm giving up on the window all together. Let him go to Barca ffs.

I've already given up on this transfer window. It seems LVG keeps changing his mind on his targets & we are still waiting for him to get rid of certain players.
Two weeks until the season has started & still nothing.
Why does Woodward have a job ?.

[Brother Leon]

497358158999060480

Time for Wenger to reject that bid me thinks.

[Shaun]

Khedira rumour officially put to bed as well :(

[Samuel.]

Cissokho to Aston Villa

I'm so sorry Nathan

[Locke.]

Better than what they have tbh. He was an absolute disaster in the first half of last season but I thought he improved quite a bit towards the end and was reliable enough in the few games he got

I will never forget that amazing compilation video someone made of him though

[Brother Leon]

I remember when he was meant to be the next big thing. I was gutted when he turned us down.

[Locke.]

In worse news for them apparently they want Moses as well?

Definitely getting relegated..

[Brother Leon]

Arsenal and Liverpool both interested in Cavani. Another player picking Arsenal over Liverpool then.

[Locke.]

You just know when a players agent has to go to the press about clubs being interested that neither of them are actually gonna sign him.

[Shaun]

yeah i can't see us ever bothering with him tbh

[Novo]

Fleetwood 25/1 to win League 1 with Sarvevic playing behind Dobbie and Adam Campbell, its in the bag

[Brother Leon]

497514453265829890

Do as your bloody manager says fam. :idc:

[Drew.]

Vermaelen to Barca for £15m. Injury prone & 1 year left on his contract, amazing business. Wenger refusing to sell on players to rivals now.

[Samuel.]

Tired with the transfer window now. Every week it's a new striker we're linked with.

[Brother Leon]

Wenger wanting Smalling in exchange :joker:


Glad we told him to do on :)

[Tarryn]

Getting tired of waiting for us to sign a player now.
Every day we are linked to 100 different players & every day nothing.
What are we waiting for ?.
What does Woodward do with his time ?!

[Brother Leon]

We will sign Cuadrado. I'm not too hype over that, but he could fit in well with the Van Gaal system I suppose. We really need a CB and CM though. Bloody hell :laugh:

[Tarryn]

Any concrete news on Vidal ?.

[Locke.]

West Ham after Connor Wickham, could be a great signing if he kept up the form he ended the season with, but hopefully he stays at Sunderland

[Locke.]

According to SKY, Napoli have identified Juventus target Kostas Manolas (23) as the ideal replacement for Swansea bound Federico Fernandez.

That would be a great move for him, playing under Rafa

[Shaun]

can someone pls sign Reus already

[Locke.]

Kolo is off to Trabzonspor for £2m, didn't think we'd actually get a fee for him

[Brother Leon]

can someone pls sign Reus already

Next Summer he will be at Arsenal and Cazorla will leave.


Quote me.

[Drew.]

Saints sign Forster from Celtic.. Great signing, have needed a strong reliable keeper for a while now.

[Locke.]

Afellay has signed for Olympiacos, time for him to get his career back on track

[Locke.]

Liverpool’s Lucas Leiva is hopeful that he will join Napoli, reuniting him with his former Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez.

The Independent on Sunday understands there are a number of obstacles for the Italian side to clear before the 27-year-old can move to Stadio San Paolo, but the player tweeted an enigmatic picture depicting light at the end of a tunnel.

Napoli are still talking to Manchester United about securing Marouane Fellaini on loan. But Fellaini’s £100,000-a-week United salary is at a level Napoli could not meet, so Leiva seems the more likely signing for Benitez. Lucas is keen to move on from Anfield, where Benitez signed him from Gremio in 2007 but where he started only five matches in this calendar year.

His lack of playing time led to his omission from this summer’s Brazil World Cup squad and he feels he has stagnated. The Brazilian accepts that Steven Gerrard’s transition into a deep-lying midfielder has rendered him redundant.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/transfer-roundup-lucas-leiva-edges-closer-to-reunion-with-rafa-benitez-at-napoli-9659518.html

Lucas with one last parting gift, possibly his most welcomed one so far... keeping Fellaini at Utd for an extra year

[Ryan57]

Any concrete news on Vidal ?.

Ed has been preparing a bid for about six weeks. He's unsure on how the fax machine works.

[Brother Leon]

Barca are deffo stealing Cuadrado off us. I wasn't even that fussed over him, but ****ing hell what a mess. They are meant to be transfer banned ffs :joker:.

[Ryan57]

Should be expected. The club is an embarrassment in the transfer market. We'll be lucky to get fourth.

[Brother Leon]

I'm just waiting for the final Vidal and Di Maria crushing blows tbh. Get it over with already :laugh:

[Ryan57]

Bound to happen. We'd rather have our chief executive go on MUTV and tell the world we have money to spend and to 'watch this space' whilst other teams sign players.

Absolutely embarrassing.

[Brother Leon]

498779559895248896

Bloody hell :laugh:

[Drew.]

Not surprised, always been injury prone, just makes the £15m price tag even crazier

[Samuel.]

City forking out 32m for Sakho's backup

[Tarryn]

Can't see us getting any new players now.
LVG seems to want to work with what we have.
Woodward is totally incapable of doing his job.
Plus, we won't pay the asking price, so others teams will get our targets.
Top four could be gone before the season even kicks off.
Awful, we have learned nothing from last season.

Hopefully signing Carlos Sanchez today. Played DM for Colombia at the WC. Good news at last

http://i.imgur.com/K4Fx899.jpg

[Locke.]

Who could have possibly predicted QPR being the one PL team interested in signing and an old overpaid player in Eto'o, I hope these idiots make an approach for Johnson

:facepalm:

[Locke.]

Rumours now that Liverpool and Utd are both in for Rojo and he has already refused to train for Sporting to force through a move.... I was on some Southampton site about a week ago though and they were all pretty certain that he was signing for them

[Locke.]

Tony Barrett ‏@TonyBarretTimes 45s
Liverpool have agreed a fee with Sevilla for Alberto Moreno who is now expected to be pulled out of tonight's Super Cup game in Cardiff.

At last!!!! Also:

Tony Barrett ‏@TonyBarretTimes 2m
Martin Kelly is set to join Crystal Palace from Liverpool for an initial fee of around £2 million.

Such a good signing for them. If he can get over the injuries and be the player he was on his way to becoming a couple of years ago he'll be one of the best right backs in the league.

Osman Sow on a free to Horrible Bastard Albion

[Drew.]

£12m for Moreno, pretty good business.

[Locke.]

Our squad is looking great now. Red = Most likely leaving.

GK: Mignolet, Jones
RB:: Manquillo, Flanagan, Johnson, Kelly
CB: Sakho, Lovren, Skrtel, Agger, Ilori, Coates, Toure
LB:: Moreno, Enrique, Robinson
CM: Gerrard, Henderson, Can, Lucas, Allen
AM: Sterling, Coutinho, Markovic, Lallana, Assaidi, Suso, Ibe
ST: Sturridge, Lambert, Borini

Add a new second choice keeper to replace Reina and a new striker that can also play out wide and we are done.

[King Gizzard]

it's actually happening....get in. Had a feeling it would fall through like most of our transfers. Vaguely optimistic about the season now.

http://i.imgur.com/wMywdo9.jpg

[Drew.]

Shane Long to Southampon.. Pretty big fee but usually guarantees goals.

[King Gizzard]

Think I read somewhere that he has a similar record to Carlton Cole over the last few seasons

[Locke.]

Doesn't really, 8, 8, and 7 in his last 3 seasons. I like him and he's obviously a decent player for teams like West Brom and Hull who will only really be expected to stay in the league, but for a team that should be coming in the top half he isn't good enough. Not for £12m at least.

[MTVN]

And give me big Carlton any day

[Brother Leon]

Lol at that Long transfer.


If we don't get at least 18mish for Hernandez(we wont) then we are terrible with sales.

[BBfanUSA]

Have Tottenham signed DeAndre Yedlin yet? He wasn't listed in the 18 for Seattle Sounders game on Sunday and Seattle's GM confirmed he's in Europe.

It's either them or AS Roma.

[Tarryn]

Luke Shaw out with hamstring injury.
We need to buy some new players quickly.

Well Taylor Twellman an ESPN pundit broke the news.

Tottenham has signed American RB DeAndre Yedlin from Seattle for 4 million.

Will stay with Seattle on loan to the end of the MLS season.

Ben Smith @BenSmithBBC · 3h
@rednewbury real interest but wages a big problem.

Cut the **** Wilfried, 100k is too much

[Shaun]

apparently Cavani wants 300k a week :umm2:

well i never wanted him anyway :hmph: #Reuspls

[Samuel.]

Deal of the summer if Hull manage to sign Welbeck for just 2m more than they sold Long. Crazy.

[Samuel.]

Also no1curr but Brighton are having a nightmare window :(

Still tempted to get a Brighton top with Hyypia on the back, but who knows how long he'll last with the current team...

[Locke.]

Welbeck taking a step up I see and getting some European football

[Brother Leon]

Selling him would depressing enough(yeah he's not close to our best player, but the guy is loved). For £15m though when you see the Long and McCormack transfers though....


Won't happen anyway. Would genuinely git be shocked. He's the prototype second striker LVG loves(started every pre season game until injury). Energetic,Solid link up play, runs through walls for the team and is tactically intelligent. Sir Alex trusted him time and time again in big European or Prem Away games to fulfill specific tactical instructions defensively from his position and he would excel every time. LVG would love that in him I imagine.

I think the best thing for him would be to leave in fairness and to become a regular starter. He won't have the Sturridge effect from being a regular starter as he just isn't that type of ruthless player, but he would really excel starting regularly and being the man. Selfishly I hope he stays put though :laugh:

[Locke.]

Javi Garcia leaves City for Zenit. £13m.

[Brother Leon]

City have a great team sorting player sales out. Rodwell and Garcia at those prices is brilliant. Same with Chelsea.

[Brother Leon]

Every Portuguese person I know has told me Rojo is horrific ffs :joker:

FML :laugh:

[Locke.]

From being linked with Lukaku all summer to...

Olympiakos have seen an offer to sign Kostas Mitroglou on loan rejected by Fulham.

Bastards, let him go back home

[Jack.]

I see Alex song is now being rumoured to be coming to Liverpool

[Samuel.]

I really hope he proves everybody wrong

[Locke.]

Viktor Fagerstrom: Is it true that LFC have enquired for Falcao, Benzema AND Cavani? And that we ran into dead ends in all three cases?

James Pearce: LFC have certainly aimed high with enquiries for all three of those players you mentioned but they were told none of them were available. The problem at this stage is that there isn't a great deal of choice left. Rodgers won't just spend for the sake of it and could even wait until January if the right deal can't be done.

Samuel Eto'o would be an absolute last resort and I'd be surprised if that one happened. The club are currently looking at other options. Bony continues to be linked but LFC aren't planning on going back in for him.


James Pearce: If the right one can be found Rodgers will sign another keeper before the window shuts but I'm not aware of any interest in Romero.

He has had countless chances to say it is all bs and he is staying and he refuses to everytime. Just stop ****ing around and put in a great offer. Can't believe how useless we ****ing are.

[Tarryn]

Am I the only one who thinks we have not made enquiries about any players ?.
Woodward is making Moyes look good, a difficult thing to do.
We have so many injuries & have lost the likes of Vidic, Ferdinand, it's like we are trying to throw top four away before the season even starts.
The Vidal thing is making me angry...................I need to lie down in a dark room now.

[Locke.]

#LFC have confirmed Joao Carlos Teixeira has joined Brighton on loan

The Championship won't know what has hit it. Think Robinson is going there as well.

Probably made inquiries. Just not successfully. Woodward is a twat.

And in order to obtain a fee Khedira, Spanish newspaper AS believe Real would be willing to accept just £8m before the end of the transfer window.

Never gonna happen, but he'd be a bargain for us at that price... if the fee is true.

[Samuel.]

Facing the realities of having no champions league football to offer? :pipe:

[Tarryn]

Wake me up next May.................I can't go through another season like the last.

[Locke.]

You don't want to be woken up next May then

[Brother Leon]

LVG taking Blackett and Hamez and making them starters for Prem Champs. Good times ahead.

[King Gizzard]

MY BOY

It could be a long sleep :sleep:

[Locke.]

Stoke are getting Moses on loan.

Assaidi being a greedy little bastard has cost him a good move, sure he'll have a great time playing in our reserves though.

[Ryan57]

Facing the realities of having no champions league football to offer? :pipe:

Last summer we had European football and failed with our main transfer targets? The problem is Woodward is in a job he shouldn't be in.

If we offered big wages, a lack of European football would mean nothing to a lot of top players.

[Brother Leon]

It's not even Woody tbh. He's just the Glazer yes man. We've generally been ****ty in the market considering all the record sporting revenues we generate. I think it's clear our spending power isn't what it is really "supposed" to be.

[Ryan57]

I think it is Woodward. We've spent almost £110 million in the last year. I believe there is money to spend, but Woodward is useless. This isn't what his job is meant to be after all.

[Locke.]

The Mirror are reporting that Falcao is desperate to leave France and Madrid won't be signing him, and we are interested in taking him on loan for the season.

Probably won't happen but it's a relief to hear something like this and not something about Eto'o again.

[Brother Leon]

I think it is Woodward. We've spent almost £110 million in the last year. I believe there is money to spend, but Woodward is useless. This isn't what his job is meant to be after all.

From the moment we topped the sporting revenue table and sold Ronaldo and yet only signed Valaneica & Owen I have kind of accepted this is how the club is being run. Throw in the fact we ****ed up signing Hazard(I believe he will be player of the year this season) due to being cheap on the agent fee and it shows we were pretty ****ty even before Woody :laugh:

[King Gizzard]

carlos sanchez though guys

[King Gizzard]

nope? okay

[Shaun]

no1curr about your sanchez

[Samuel.]

Looks less like a prick than Alexis tbf

[Shaun]

i'll give you that

[Ryan57]

We've spent big though. We spent big in the summer of 2011, spent a decent amount in the summer of 2012 given we only lost the league on GD.

Hazard was being a complete dick. All year he'd changed his mind on where he'd love to play. In the end his wages were ridiculous, and even City dropped out. Agent fee large also. Then shortly after his brother signs for Chelsea, no doubt part of Hazard picking Chelsea over any other team.
At the time I was glad we didn't sign him as he was being such a prick. Looking back, I wish we'd spent whatever it took.

Money is there, I think. We've shown it this last year. Andy Mitten, probably the most reliable United source, says we've found it hard to actually spend money. No doubt because Ed is clueless.

[Brother Leon]

Attention seeking knob. I pray he's not on a wum though :laugh:

[Brother Leon]

SSN have reporting he is going to Manchester for talks. Fingers crossed.


INB4City.

[Shaun]

would be a great signing, am always forcing my brother to sign him on fifa :laugh:

[Brother Leon]

Shame it took losing the first game of the season for these fools to start trying to get some work done in the market..

[Black Dagger]

SSN have reporting he is going to Manchester for talks. Fingers crossed.

We had our chance <|3

[Locke.]

So Remy failed a drugs test, not the medical..

[Brother Leon]

Bayern now signing Benatia.


**** football.

[Ryan57]

Bayern now signing Benatia.


**** football.

They'll come in and wrap up a deal within days. That's how a proper big club does things.

[Ryan57]

So Remy failed a drugs test, not the medical..

Rumoured that is. Along with the other rumour it was due to financial reasons. Typical Twitter.

[Shaun]

100m for Di Maria trending :umm2:

[Brother Leon]

Including wages apparently.

LVG has told Woody to do what he can to sign Di Maria,CB and DM
--

Di Maria,Benatia and Blind would help recover a terrible Summer.

[Ryan57]

Just looked on Twitter about Di Maria, after seeing it here, It's The Daily Mail... dreams dashed.

[Brother Leon]

It's from Ladyman(lolz) though. He's apparently reliable enough. It makes too much sense buying a world class player that can play wide or in a midfield 3 though so probably bs lol

[King Gizzard]

Didn't know Arsenal are about to sign Rabiot. Awesome signing if he actually plays (he should do, he's better than Arteta and Flamini)

[Ryan57]

Yeah, just saw it was Ladyman who I heard was reliable earlier. Terrific name he has also.

Di Maria is my dream signing and it just sounds far too good to be true. Therefore, I sharnt get my hopes up. The way we are, we'd probably fail to land Emile Heskey.

[King Gizzard]

I still expect United to end up with Vlaar above all other defenders. Will be quite sad but he's refused to proper commit to us and he's stopped using twitter after games like he usually does

[Ryan57]

Is he good enough, Nathan? Had a great partnership with De Vrij during the World Cup.

You can have Anderson as part of the deal if you like.

[King Gizzard]

Isn't really spectacular for us but Van Gaal seemed to get something out of him at the WC

[Ryan57]

As each day passes, I guess Vlaar seems more and more likely. I expected a couple of Dutch signings by now, tbh.

[King Gizzard]

If not united then Southampton, and that'd be a real kick in the face

would like us to get Van Dijk if that becomes the case

[Ryan57]

On Twitter it's going round that Juve are interested in him now.

[Locke.]

Juve are probably going to miss out on Manolas cos it looks like he is going to Arsenal, so they're definitely about for a CB

[King Gizzard]

Four easy wins.

[Drew.]

Didn't know Arsenal are about to sign Rabiot. Awesome signing if he actually plays (he should do, he's better than Arteta and Flamini)

Wouldn't be a bad signing but I'm still hoping Wenger is leaving it until deadline day like he did with Ozil for some big moves to happen which allows Khedira, Bender or Carvalho to leave.

[Ryan57]

Carvalho depends on you matching his release clause. I doubt Sporting would accept any less. It's why we dropped out, as we're tight bastards.

[Ryan57]

United not in for Benatia apparently. Although Rojo is a player we like.

Probably means he'll sign for Bayern soon and we, again, try to save face.

[Shaun]

Including wages apparently.

is that for the whole (say, 3/4/5yr) contract? because i always assumed that meant for "the fee plus one year's wages" :laugh: and according to google he's on 4.5m a year atm :think:
