Summer 2014 Transfer Thread

[Locke.]

We have got the ball rolling, bid made for Lallana today - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27371960

http://bm23sportsreviews.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/transfer-window.jpeg

Should be a big summer. Us, Chelsea, Arsenal, Utd, and Spurs will all probably spend a lot. Big clear out expected at Newcastle as well and no doubt Southampton will get raided for more than Lallana.

[Jesus.]

Have a bad feeling about the Lallana signing. a 26yr old with one excellent season, and one good one under his belt is a concern, and smacks of the kind of signing we continually get wrong. He'll either be excellent, or he'll be sold to stoke in 12 months for a £15m loss.

[Locke.]

I think he'll be a great signing, more like Henderson and Allen than Adam or Downing. Hopefully he doesn't take as long to hit the ground running as they did though.

[Black Dagger]

Sagna
Mangala
Fernando
2nd choice GK
LB
Marque name (possible Fabregas if we get the opportunity, probably somebody else)

That will be our business.

leivalucasOntem terminei minha sétima temporada pelo Liverpool. Gostaria de agradecer aqueles que me apoiaram todos estes anos. #obrigado #tchau Yesterday I finished my 7th season with Liverpool. I want to thank the ones who supported me all this years. #thankyou #goodbye

Oh no </3

[Locke.]

Lucas Leiva ‏@LucasLeiva87 7s
O tchau foi referente a temporada que terminou nada mais .
The goodbye that I said it is about the season that finished nothing else.

LOL. Nevermind.

[Samuel.]

I'm not sure about Lallana

Very different player but it somewhat gives me flashbacks to Charlie Adam's signing... Don't forget he had been fantastic for Blackpool the season before.

Has Lallana improvement a lot this season alone? He's 26, why have I only known about him for less than a year.

Sounds like we're splashing around 20m for him...

[Samuel.]

Lucas Leiva ‏@LucasLeiva87 7s

LOL. Nevermind.

Thank god.

I love Lucas. Gerrard's new position since he was out injured for so long sort of invalidates him ever starting for us. We must keep him as a sub player though, or if Rodgers ever plays a defensive 11.

[Drew.]

Lallana >>>

Amazing signing for whoever gets him, has been with Southampton through almost every division and has always been their stand out player. Gets better every single season & hes coming up to his peak years. He's probably our only English player that can do what he does.

[Brother Leon]

Not worried about Lallana. That's a signing they could of made regardless so if that is the quality they bring in after their Amazing season then it's not too bad.

[Shaun]

i thought there was a thread already, or was that 2013's?

[Drew.]

You are right Shaun, there was already a perfectly good thread.

[Ryan57]

Shaw
Carvalho
Kroos
Fabregas
Sanchez
Strootman
Hummels
Muller

[Samuel.]

Hear Lallana rarely plays 90 minutes?

Sturridge is the same.

You can get away with it with one player like that, but with both starting you've got two subs waiting to be used from the off

[Drew.]

Not sure where you've heard that, usually puts in the full 90 minutes.

All my trust is in your knowledge Drew

[Drew.]

You are in safe hands with Adam

Everton fan too

The best traitors in football

[Drew.]

Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed the signing of Arsenal target Josip Drmic.

Would have taken him.. looks like it'll be Remy then.

[Brother Leon]

He's usually the first attacker took off by Pochetino. Probably what they meant.

[Ryan57]

Luiz going to Barcelona according to this site.

Sky Sports News ‏@SkySportsNews 52s
Sky sources: Chelsea agree £32m fee with Atletico Madrid for Diego Costa

[Ryan57]

Wio is leaving. D:

[Black Dagger]

Chelsea only really needed a decent striker and they've just got one, probably put them as favourites next season on that basis alone.

[jackc1806]

Can't believe Rio is leaving us. Gonna need to buy a whole new defence tbh, probably for the best he's gone but it's still sad. 12 years man.

[Ryan57]

I think he could of continued if managed properly.

[Drew.]

Chelsea only really needed a decent striker and they've just got one, probably put them as favourites next season on that basis alone.

Yup, perfect fit for Chelsea, the guy is a beast. Just needs working on his behavior.. won't last 5 minutes over here elbowing and spitting at people.

[Brother Leon]

Rio :(

One of the greatets United players ever..damn. Paddy is next too :(

Thanks Rio :worship:

[Drew.]

Hard to imagine him at another PL club, Wouldn't surprise me if he went abroad.

[Brother Leon]

I'm pretty pissed they couldn't tell him earlier now that I think about it. He deserved a proper goodbye along with Vidic.

[Ryan57]

Time for Erick Thohir to take Rio to Inter to reignite the dream combination.

[Black Dagger]

Oh has he just left the club via a contract decision and not retired?

[Ryan57]

Yeah. Club didn't offer him a new contract I believe. Shame.

[Ryan57]

The Times reporting the Luiz to Barcelona story now.


José Mourinho began the process of reshaping his Chelsea squad for next season when David Luiz agreed terms with Barcelona yesterday over a move likely to be worth almost £30 million after the World Cup finals.

There is a desire from both clubs and the player for the deal to happen, but it is likely to be subject to the approval of the next coach at the Catalan club.

[Brother Leon]

Luiz for £30m :o

[Locke.]

Barca basically just giving Chelsea the money to buy Costa then.

[Ryan57]

Chelsea have done excellent transfer business of late.

Also, Xavi being linked with a move to England. Would love to see him at United for a year.

[Legend killer]

DELIGHTED Rio is going. Was an immense player for us however aside from being a walking corpse this last year I lost all respect for him the way he snuck around Moyes back and is well known he was the leak to our team sheets. I fully expect the same people who lambast Roy who was our ****ing captain for calling players out on there effort to run to Rio's defence

Now to get rid of Fatty and RVP to fully get rid of the cancer in this team we all know who Roy and Gary where calling out

[Ryan57]

Lol at getting rid of our two best strikers.

[Legend killer]

I'm pretty pissed they couldn't tell him earlier now that I think about it. He deserved a proper goodbye along with Vidic.

With his behaviour the last year the only thing he deserved was to be locked into a room with Roy and get the **** beat out of him. Was disgusting the way he went around Moyes back

[Ryan57]

Rio playing a part in Moyes going. A hero for that alone. Thank you, Rio.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00792/rio_ferdinand_engla_792030c.jpg

[Legend killer]

He a striker now???? According to you he was a better number 10 then Shinji and should never be moved looooooool

Also if you support the way Rio treated Moyes don't even bother replying to me I can deal with your down right silly posts "Mata was a BAD SIGNING" FACEPLAM but will not converse with a person with no morals of right from wrong

[Ryan57]

I've been saying he should be played as a striker for a while now.

Also never said Mata was a bad signing.

Do not give a **** about Moyes, he disrespected the players so who cares if he was disrespected himself?

He was a crap choice, as he proved. Excellent decision to rid ourselves of the true 'cancer' of the team. A thank you also goes out to Ryan Giggs for his part if ridding us of Dithering Dave.

[Ryan57]

Mentions morals yet says Keane should beat up Ferdinand.

And you speak of silly posts?

[Legend killer]

wow just wow I see why they say United fans are rubbish now. The fact you support players conspiring against the manager of your own ****ing club is one thing however is made funnier by the fact yourself and fellow supporters have put in your hard cash to follow the team you love via merchandise tickets etc just for them to not EVEN TRY loool and you condone that FACEPLAM

Ps: glad you seen sense with Fatty shame it took your months after I already told you that. And sorry no if any club is stupid enough to come and take Fatty's huge contract we bite there hands off and don't ask any questions .

As for RVP sorry if I don't want to build my team on a 29 year old who CAN'T ****ING FINISH IS ALWAYS ****ING INJURED AND SHOWS UP FOR HALF A A SEASON. Sadly glory hunting fans never see the long term goals

[Brother Leon]

Rio playing a part in Moyes going. A hero for that alone. Thank you, Rio.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00792/rio_ferdinand_engla_792030c.jpg

Went out on his back for the sake of the fans..what a hero :worship:

[Legend killer]

Sadly it's times like this when it becomes apparent who are the fans and who are the stans. The Lakers fanbase had this when Shaq got traded and now United fans have this in front of them.

Because all banter aside NO FAN OF A CLUB supports there own ****ing players putting in zero effort and making it as difficult as possible for THERE CLUB'S MANAGER to succeed what kind of rubbish is that.

What makes it even funnier is the two in question on this board both lambasted Roy OUR ****ING CAPTAIN of doing much less

Shinji Mata Adnan
Danny

This is the nucleus going forward for me. Danny like RVP can't finish however he is years away from prime and know bloody well he will give everything for this shirt. Not to mention he is much more interchangeable and going forward with the new system we need to implement will be a big plus

[Ryan57]

Lol, doing much less.

Keane going on MUTV to publically lambast fellow players vs being sick of a loser who disrespects you.

I also believe the most I've ever said about Keane's MUTV rant was 'it was the wrong way to go about things'. Not even sure I said that.

[Brother Leon]

This same guy was nagging and saying he wanted Sir Alex out pretty much every week all while he was actually winning. How dare Ryan not want an absolute loser at this level to get the **** out the club and support anyone that did their bit to help it.


Pretty sure what myself and Ryan do isn't worse than pretty much 99% of your posst about football being slamming your Manager or certain scapegoat players every week without fail. It's funny how you got what you wanted (Fergie out,Moyes In) and the season went to ****. Pretty sure we should steer far away from what you consider is best for us :laugh:

[Legend killer]

Went out on his back for the sake of the fans..what a hero :worship:

Went out and gave zero effort for fans who invested time and money on going around the country to support him and the team

What a hero give him a knighthood facepalm

[Ryan57]

So we shouldn't support the players, who have won things and been disrespected by their own manager, but we should support the man who has no idea what he's doing, totally out of his depth, and had fallen out with a large chunk of the players?

Went out and gave zero effort for fans who invested time and money on going around the country to support him and the team

What a hero give him a knighthood facepalm

Rio's season was *****ed up by Moyes. Playing him in 7 out of the first eight games of the season. Very clever. Moyes showing how out of his depth he is.

[Legend killer]

Oh yes the famous MUTV interview lol that WE NEVER SEEN EVEN A SNIPPIET OF funny that pretty sure if it was how Fergie said it was we would have seen something

What we do know however is ROY WAS ASKED THE QUESTION And he gave an answer he called the players out no putting the effort in INCLUDED HIMSELF IN THE CRITICISM as captain was bang in his right to do so

However by your stance on the rio situation I am not surprised you disagree would no doubt prefer Roy to have leaked quotes to the media instead lol pathetic

OH the travesty playing on form his best centre back when he is new to the job lol the only thing Moyes did wrong was playing Rio in the first place as he has been a walking corpse for a year and a half now should never been ahead of Jones Vidic Smalling and Evans in the first place as he justified later in the season when he got anally raped every game he played

[Legend killer]

I called Fergie out on the following

Not buying a CM in 4-5 years
Letting our midfield get in that state
Not promoting youth ala Pogba situation
Letting the age of our team skyrocket

Allof which has come back to haunt us.

Like I said at the time Fergie has set us back 3-4 years with the way he let the team go. Don't get me wrong Fergie was great for the club however anyone defending the state he left this team in and his decision making in his last 2-3 in particular shows themselves up.

The fact is it's easy to support your team when winning is easy however not so when winning is coming less easy and you this year have shown yourself to be the Fergie STAN I always knew you were rather then the United fan you claim to be

Funny that the players I have slamed regularly now for the last couple of seasons are the main reason for our decline ain't it???

Young
Tony
Evra
Cleverly

You never see me slam players Like Danny , Rafa David who put in 100% every game and can actually hold the shirt

[Black Dagger]

Is there not a United thread?

[Legend killer]

The real question is should there be one??? When your apparent fans are applauding there own players not doing the minimum they are paid to do which is give effort and play for the shirt

Who needs haters when you have "fans" like ****ing disgusting

[Drew.]

Looks as though it might be happening.. would be great to have him back

http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/match-centre/article779760.ece/ALTERNATES/gallery-large/carlos-vela-arsenal-cropped

[King Gizzard]

Then you'll sell him again for the profit, Madrid style

[Drew.]

Even if things don't go to plan we'll still get over 3x more for him than what his buy-back clause is.. great business all round.

[King Gizzard]

Drmic signed for Leverkusen I see

[Drew.]

Yeah, Probably for the best, would have been a huge risk coming over here.

[Locke.]

Liverpool Echo who have about a 99.93% success rate say that Alberto Moreno from Sevilla is our #1 left back target for around £15m, Caulker is one of the CB's we have our eye on, and Bertrand and Siqueira are still on the shortlist.

[BBfanUSA]

Brek Shea may make a move back to the MLS from Stoke City. Toronto is the front runner but there's been interest from other MLS Clubs.

[bbfan1991]

Don't think you will get Moreno. He'll probably go to Real Madrid.


I hope United sign Ezequiel Garay as Vidic's replacement!

[Shaun]

guardian made me laugh today, saying United's most mouth-watering transfer prospect is Robben

[Drew.]

Bernat > Moreno

Liverpool could do with either though.

[bbfan1991]

Bernat > Moreno

Liverpool could do with either though.

Bernat has got amazing stats on FIFA 14!

And there is no chance in United signing Robben LOL. Signing Toni Kroos is a possibility!


Hoping we get the LVG announcement out the way soon and finalise the Luke Shaw deal.

[King Gizzard]

Ganso to Napoli

[Drew.]

He has been linked with pretty much every club for the past couple of years, he is finally coming to Europe then.

[King Gizzard]

Was on the same level as Neymar as in Brazilian prospects until he fell off a couple of years ago

[Ryan57]

Rediscovered his form it seems. 2 goals and 3 assists in four league starts.

[Ryan57]

Garay is going to Zenit? WTF?!

[Chuck]

Ganso to Napoli

was going to post this.

[King Gizzard]

Is he properly back to his best now?

Shouldn't really matter anyway, the talent is there and maybe Europe will make him step up

[Ryan57]

People on Twitter, from Brazil, saying he's doing well now.

[Brother Leon]

guardian made me laugh today, saying United's most mouth-watering transfer prospect is Robben

Robben>>>

Would instantly be one of the top wingers in the prem, but yeah that's bs.

[Locke.]

Can't stand Robben, would fit right in with the rest of the ***** at Utd

[Chuck]

Ganso's been doing well for the past... 4 or 5 games. Not a very reliable or consistent player.

[Chuck]

[2]
Robben >

[Drew.]

Pato to Galatasaray & Drogba to Juve according to some Brazilian journalist.

[King Gizzard]

Why Juve don't just recall Immobile from his co-ownership at Torino I'll never know, he's going to Dortmund atm

[Brother Leon]

DailyMail saying United have signed Kross for £20m LOOL

[Ryan57]

Kroos is trending every day on Twitter.

If this happens, Kroos to United, not the £20 million price tag, I'd cream my underwear.

[King Gizzard]

What Leon really meant by that ''LOL'' is ''Please ****ing be true'' whilst posting this smiley http://i.imgur.com/j0TNUW8.gif

[Ryan57]

I'd wank myself into a coma if it happened.

[Ryan57]

Surely too good to be true. Every summer we get our hopes up just to get our balls smashed in.

[King Gizzard]

Imagine Vidal with Kroos and Cesc in front

[Ryan57]

Daily Express said it was a done deal, now Daily Mail...

Really need Mark Ogden to come out with it. He's about the only guy that gets things spot on.

[Ryan57]

£20 million does seem ridiculous, but he is in the last year of his contract. Still don't think they'd let him go that cheap though.

[King Gizzard]

So what you're trying to say Edward, you didn't get Toni Kroos?

http://i.imgur.com/dB1WBUh.jpg

[Ryan57]

Can imagine that scene from The Warriors when Van Gaal arrives on the first day back if Woodward has messed up.

'Eddie... come out to play...'

NwwY9y6O3hw

[Ryan57]

If we miss out on our midfield targets, mine and Leon's doors are always open. We'll happily play for wages in the region of £10,000 a week.

[Brother Leon]

I don't think Kross is completely impossible as he does seem to want to be paid big money, but 20m... We might aswell just give them Fellaini..he's worth 27 you know. Keep the change :idc:

[Ryan57]

Fellaini in a Pep team would be funny to see. He'd go ballistic on the sidelines.

I'm also curious as to what Van Gaal will think/thinks of him. Hardly a Van Gaal type player.

Sounds like this Kroos deal is definitely happening then, lucky bastards.

[Shaun]

ooh. nice bit of business.

[MTVN]

We are closing in on Mauro Zarate from Velez Sarsfield, apparently the Davids were impressed with him when he was at Birmingham for a while but that was over 5 years ago..

Hopefully he is bringing his missus anyway

Same happened with Thiago although, this time we don't have a dithering manager in charge.

[Drew.]

Same happened with Thiago although, this time we don't have a dithering manager in charge.

It's different to the Thiago situation.. Last year of his contract and they haven't offered him an improved one, Loads of journos saying he'll be on his way to United.

[Brother Leon]

Someone must come in and take him for that price though. Man if that happens..:laugh:

"Louis van Gaal ends Manchester United’s interest in Toni Kroos"

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/22/louis-van-gaal-ends-manchester-united-interest-toni-kroos-bayern-munich?CMP=twt_gu

[Jesus.]

Probably see's how pointless it is signing Kroos, when Fellaini is still there and ready to slot into that position.

[Ryan57]

It's different to the Thiago situation.. Last year of his contract and they haven't offered him an improved one, Loads of journos saying he'll be on his way to United.

It's very similar. Thiago was also in the last year of his contract. And I think Bayern have offered an improvement in wages, just not to the amount he wants.

No actual information in that Jamie Jackson article. Although he is one of the more reliable journalists when it comes to United I believe.

[King Gizzard]

Kroos did their kit pictures so they must have been quite confident he was always staying

[Ryan57]

Happens a lot though. We had Park on our tour page in the summer of 2012, who we then sold that same summer.

Also at the top of the United tour page for this summer's tour in the US there's five players...

Cleverley
Young
Rooney
Smalling
Valencia

Would only say Rooney is the only one who's future is secure.

Not clutching at straws :joker: ... as I still don't expect Kroos to sign, but no doubt it happens a lot where players feature on promotional content and are then sold.

[Brother Leon]

469467479665033216

Nothing is certain regarding the story really. I think we are just waiting to see what Bayern do.

[Ryan57]

MANCHESTER UNITED are prepared to offload flop signing Marouane Fellaini - if they can find someone willing to stump up £15million to buy him.

Who is going to pay £15 million? It's the most he was worth last summer. :joker:

And new manager Louis Van Gaal does not believe the Belgium star has the game to fit into how he wants to play next season.

Van Gaal says he cries at least once every day. He definitely cry when he sees Fellaini's first touch.

And that could even see United having to lower their asking price to as little as £10m if Van Gaal makes it clear he doesn't want him in his plans.

Be lucky to get that. :joker:

[Locke.]

Phil Bardsley signs for Stoke from Sunderland.

Was always one of Sunderland's best players when I watched them this season.

[Ryan57]

Kroos to Bild: "I expected the quotes from Bayern. That I have to accept and respect. After I turned their offer down, I knew how they would respond."

Bild also reporting we've made a £25 million bid.

[Ryan57]

Graham Hunter: #Pep really likes #Kroos as a player but thinks #Scweini slows circulation of possession - thus #United were offered Schweini instead

Just, wtf. I don't think anybody knows what is going on.

[Brother Leon]

They don't. Everyone is just bull****ting and hoping some of the **** sticks.


That said..I would take Bastian in a heartbeat.

[Ryan57]

Twitter has ruined transfer windows.

2009 - Karim Benzema
2010 - Mesut Ozil
2011 - Wesley Sneijder
2012 - Eden Hazard
2013 - Thiago Alacantara
2014 - Toni Kroos?

More transfer heartbreak awaits.

[Ryan57]

Teenager Angel Gomes has signed for Manchester United after impressing in trials with the club's under 17 squad. 13 years of age.

Our first signing.

[Locke.]

Willian was the worst, he actually started getting in on all the rumours himself, following the Brazilian players that played for the teams he was linked to

[Ryan57]

I'll be glad when the window closes, and it's not even technically open yet.

[Drew.]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BoRVnZeCEAIVbcn.jpg

[Ryan57]

Nathan will be hoping Charlie Wyett is full of BS. Saying Villa won't be sold this summer, could take six months to complete a takeover.

[Ryan57]

Balague said there is no buy back clause for Fabregas.

[Black Dagger]

Fernandinho's was the best though last year for us because we all took to twitter and asked him and he's like 'yes Manchester City is what I desperately want' <3.

[Drew.]

They had us all believing for all of these years that there was a clause for £25m.. sounds like £35m will get him though.

[Ryan57]

Would say there is little need for a clause anyway as he'd choose Arsenal every time over any other team.

[Drew.]

Christ, my twitter timeline is full of people talking about Cesc

[Drew.]

Artetas replacement maybe :think:

[Ryan57]

Some still saying there is a buy back clause. FFS. There's been so many different things mentioned about these clauses.

[Drew.]

Yeah i am pretty sure there is some type of clause

[Brother Leon]

How many ****ing mids do they need ffs.

[Drew.]

Still need a defensive mid too :think:

[BBfanUSA]

Stoke City plan to sell Juan Agudelo since they can't get a Work permit. (He's American)

He's going to stay with FC Utrecht, go back to MLS, or Bundesliga.

Toni Kroos to Bild: "There were many speculations. But Manchester is and was a non-issue. I assume to be playing for Bayern next season."Toni Kroos: "There were many speculations. But Manchester is and was a non-issue. I assume to be playing for Bayern next season."

Fook this. Cancelling my internet and smashing down the satellite dish and aerial. Just stick to United season reviews on DVD/VHS. Happier times.

[Brother Leon]

Cesc is "no longer a priority" too apparently. Window not even open and we are looking like fools. Good window ahead :joker:

[Drew.]

Amazing start to the window

[Ryan57]

Hopefully some volcano blows up and ends the planet.

[Shaun]

Artetas replacement maybe :think:

is he retiring

[Drew.]

is he retiring


Think hes probably only got 1 more year left in him to be honest

[Shaun]

who will our penalty taker be :( pls not mesut

[Drew.]

Santi/Poldi/Giroud i suspect

Cesc..

[Ryan57]

Think the idea of scrapping the January window would be a good one. Also scrapping the summer window would be an excellent idea.

[Black Dagger]

You'll still sign quality players this Summer...

If you don't then it's just an embarrassing situation.

[Ryan57]

Who lol?

It appears:

Reus = Staying
Hummels = Staying
Kroos = Staying
Stroootman = Injured
Robben = Not happening.
Muller = Staying
Garay = Zenit bound
Carvalho = Staying
Fabregas = Arsenal

J9gKyRmic20

On repeat until 5am.

[Black Dagger]

Oh I didn't know about Hummels and Carvalho, I thought you'd have least got them :laugh:

how about griezman, or bender, or just resurrect herrera (i don't follow european football so idk if they're tied down for good now)

i can't even think of any good dutch players to use van gaal to lure them with

Back away, these are ours

[Ryan57]

Can't find the quote now, but Van Gaal said something along the lines of 'he wants players who want to play for United and won't come for money'.

That same mentality that we had under Fergie is why we'll sign no big players and didn't do in summers gone by. Really is quite pathetic.

Guess 'we're different to other clubs'... that BS line. :joker:

[MTVN]

Bender :hehe:

[King Gizzard]

Carvalho is staying at Sporting? u wot m8?

[King Gizzard]

they'll never get 30m+ for him if he stays

Unless they're waiting to see how he does in WC

[Shaun]

oh there's a new carvalho

-thought for a minute you were talking about ricardo-

[Ryan57]

Carvalho is staying at Sporting? u wot m8?

Said he expects to stay on Tuesday, I believe.

[Ryan57]

Mail reporting so pinch of salt.

David Luiz is on the brink of joining Paris St Germain in the next 48 hours in a sensational deal that could cost the French superpower close to £50million.

If this happens. :joker:

[Drew.]

Cant fault Jose getting some good £££ for the players leaving.

[Ryan57]

Would show how serious PSG are taking FFP. :joker:

[MTVN]

£50m would be absolutely insane, even 30m is seriously pushing it

[King Gizzard]

haven't they just been punished even more than City

[Shaun]

i thought PSG were on a transfer ban? :suspect:

[Novo]

Cabella to Newcastle

Pard's working his magic again

[Ryan57]

i thought PSG were on a transfer ban? :suspect:

Nah, Barcelona were.

[Drew.]

Pards should go for this man

[Black Dagger]

PSG can't be spending that much surely... they can't spend ££££ like us they're on a transfer cut, it's the main reason why they've not been rumoured for Yaya in all of our bull****.

[Drew.]

Luiz is hardly worth £30m let alone £50m.. if its true then it'll be one of the most ridiculous transfers i've ever seen

[Drew.]

If this does happen then this guy will be a hero

https://vine.co/v/M6augI3XaQL

[Ryan57]

Sky Sports understands that Everton midfielder James McCarthy has emerged as one of Manchester United's top transfer targets this summer.

FML. What a come down.

That Vine has been removed. Is it on Youtube at all?

[King Gizzard]

Luiz to PSG, Marquinhos to Barca

please happen football gods. Marquinhos is amazing

Did you not expect this?

[Ryan57]

I expected us to try and go for players to help us rise up the table. Forever 7th.

That quote was made up by twitter. Any quote from him about United atm is as he's fully in in World Cup mode.

[Brother Leon]

50m for Luiz...world has gone mad.

[Ryan57]

That quote was made up by twitter. Any quote from him about United atm is as he's fully in in World Cup mode.

Thank goodness then. As it's our only chance of attracting big names.

[Ryan57]

Sky have removed the James McCarthy story. End of distress.

[Locke.]

BBC have the Luiz price at closer to £40m

[Novo]

Chelsea are going to steal Cabella from Pards

[Locke.]

TonyBarretTimes
Liverpool have made a breakthrough in their pursuit of Emre Can & appear to be closing in on a £12m deal for the Germany U-21 international.

Ashley young linked with Napoli, looks like Rafa is selling insigne to Juve and bringing in the trash

[Ryan57]

Luke Shaw considering options after deal to Manchester United stalls according to The Guardian.

This is just a nightmare.

[Brother Leon]

Ricardo Rodriquez instead then please.

[Ryan57]

Mark Ogden: "The Shaw deal is done, it's just a matter of time."

The most reliable journalist saying the opposite. Fooking journalists. Although Ogden is the most reliable.

[Drew.]

For once this transfer malarky is going very nicely so far

[Brother Leon]

He's Chelsea bound(if they actually want him).

[Black Dagger]

Ours will go much nicer when Yaya and Milner say they're staying xo.

Fernando coming for lower than the price that was stated and Sagna on a free so far, will do me nicely.

[Ryan57]

Free Agents XI would make a pretty decent team.

http://footballformation.co.uk/team/442d/240514012438.png

Subs: Tom Ince, Joe Cole, Bafetimi Gomis, Mame Biram Diouf, Caner Erkin

[Ryan57]

Chelsea have agreed a deal with Paris St-Germain, worth in the region of £40m, for the sale of defender David Luiz to the French champions.

Business Man of the Year 2014 goes to... Jose Mourinho.

[Brother Leon]

Cesc pretty much confirmed as not being a target. We really are going to go for McCarthy after all the Kroos,Robben,Reus and Cesc leaks to sell season tickets :joker:

[Drew.]

:think: Wonder what hes doing at the Emirates

Ashley Williams

[MTVN]

Another line of breaking news that West Ham United have agreed a three-year deal with former Birmingham forward Mauro Zarate, according to Sky Sports sources. The player’s brother and agent stated earlier in the week that he had played his final game for Velez Sarsfield on Tuesday, and it looks like a move to Upton Park is now close to being finalised.

Hmm let's see how it goes, won't have too high expectations

[Shaun]

some news for matthew

[Shaun]

oh tits

[MTVN]

Pull your socks up Shaun

[Drew.]

He is a bit of a beast when it comes to fifa

[Locke.]

We were linked with Zarate a while back, think it was maybe when Kenny was in charge

[Ryan57]

So, it seems Moyes had a deal to bring Kroos to United in place but Van Gaal vetoed it. Disappointed with that. Credit where credit is due to Moyes for having convinced a player of that stature to join.

[Ryan57]

Tom Ince to Inter Milan.

[Drew.]

The more British players that go abroad the better.. Will tempt me into watching the teams they play for which i might not have before & creates more interest. Last ones i can remember were Cole at Lille and Barton at Marseille.

[Ryan57]

Would love to see Rio go to Inter.

[Drew.]

Apparently we've put an £18m bid in for Griezmann, not sure how how much truth there is in it but Sociedad either have the option to sell us Griezmann or risk turning the offer down and us then getting Vela for about £3m.

[Drew.]

Barca sign Halilovic.. amazing player

Juve are ready to bid also according to the same source.

[Drew.]

And PSG :think:

[Ryan57]

PSG to come in with a £35 mil bid to keep in line with their, 'fook FFP' mentality. :smug:

[Ryan57]

Lionel Bebe is wanted by Sporting and Braga. Should offer him in a deal for Carvalho.

[Jesus.]

Heart of Lions have offered Wenger a job.

[Jesus.]

Brendan has signed a new contract.

[King Gizzard]

Marquinhos to Barca for 20m + Dani Alves

great business

[Brother Leon]

Dani Alves>>

[King Gizzard]

about 2-3 years ago maybe

[King Gizzard]

55m euros has been spent on Marquinhos before he's even 21 and made less than 80 career apps

[Chuck]

#whenwillmoura

[Ryan57]

Toure said, "PSG has become one (of the) strongholds in Europe. It would be an honour to be part of such a club one day. If I could help..."

I bet it would be an honour. On a ridiculous amount of cash.

[Ryan57]

Just seen the sig. Absolutely genius. Best sig I've ever had. :joker:

Thank you.

[Ryan57]

Cardiff sign Macheda on a free.

X1pgPFmXjC8

[Brother Leon]

What a moment.... Tyler's commentary is perfect for it.

Best of luck to him.

[Locke.]

Marca and a local Seville paper both reporting we've offered 20m Euros for Moreno and it's close to being done, although Marca are saying that Suso is included in the deal.

I'll be so pissed off if we let Suso go.

[Drew.]

Fabianski joining Swansea on a 4 year deal when his contract expires with us at the end of June.

Sky saying Liverpool had made a bid for Moreno.

[Ryan57]

Ruddy to be Fabianski's replacement.

[Black Dagger]

David Villa's going to NYFC.

[Ryan57]

They want Xavi as well.

[Jesus.]

Barca sign Halilovic.. amazing player

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BokhL5MIQAA_aNJ.jpg:large

The thing is they don't even need him - they only signed him for the Halilovic.

That ones for Ryan

[Locke.]

Barrett saying Suso is just a year long loan. We best renew his contract immediately

[Ryan57]

The thing is they don't even need him - they only signed him for the Halilovic.

That ones for Ryan

90% of me knew, when I saw you were the last to post, it'd be a pun. Another funny one. Love the puns. :joker:

[BBfanUSA]

David Villa's going to NYFC.

NYCFC

Brek Shea could be joining Orlando City from Stoke. He's training with them too. NYRB and Colorado are interested in Shea as well.

I think Orlando City could be getting Kaka as well for next season.

[Brother Leon]

The Suarez replacement is in.

[Locke.]

Nothing in it. Would have taken him as a back up though

[Locke.]

Nevermind, looks like it is happening

[Brother Leon]

Lallana,Lambert and Lovren. Decent signings, but if your status as a CL club is going towards signing those type of players then it's not as bad as I feared it may be.

[Locke.]

Or maybe not afterall, lol - https://twitter.com/___TomK/status/472058956622614528/photo/1

Moreno and Lallana definitely seem to be happening, and Fabianski going to Swansea makes it look like Vorm will happen as well. Haven't heard anything about Can/Lovren/Caulker etc for a few days

[King Gizzard]

southampton are going to pieces

[Drew.]

No real rumours connecting Arsenal to any players for about a week now, this doesn't feel right.

[Brother Leon]

Remember Ozil?

I was the only one to say you were getting him until like the day before ;)

[Drew.]

Can't even remember the build up to that really.. seemed like it all just happened in a day.

[Locke.]

James Pearce ‏@JamesPearceEcho 1m
Rickie Lambert to #LFC is on. Told the initial fee will be around £4m plus add-ons. Story on Echo site shortly.

Phew. Was worried about spending £9m on a 32 year old

[King Gizzard]

Thought they'd pay 9m for Lambert so the Lallana fee was less/thus Southampton not paying Bournemouth so much

[Drew.]

Sunderland have signed Jordi Gomez

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bo04sFTCMAAd6XC.jpg:large

[Jemal]

I dont get it. Why do they need lambert.
It makes no sense.

[Locke.]

How does it not make sense? He's a good striker that is from here, is a Liverpool fan, and will be happy to play back up to Suarez and Sturridge

[Brother Leon]

They need someone to replace Suarez and he's cheap. Makes sense.

[Jemal]

How does it not make sense? He's a good striker that is from here, is a Liverpool fan, and will be happy to play back up to Suarez and Sturridge

It doesn't make sense unless your replacing suarez then it does.
But your sttement shows you don't think suarez will leave which makes what you just said even more clueless.

What Leon said makes sense because he feels suarez will leave. Lambert doesn't want and deserve to be back up imo. I just get the feeling rodgers is just splashing on anything that moves.

[Locke.]

Yes... We are replacing Luis Suarez with 32 year old Rickie Lambert............................

[King Gizzard]

Sunderland have signed Jordi Gomez

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bo04sFTCMAAd6XC.jpg:large

good signing

[Jemal]

Yes... We are replacing Luis Suarez with 32 year old Rickie Lambert............................

Hope thats directed at leon and not me because i didnt say that..
I just said that point makes more sense than what you said.

[Jemal]

When will someone snap up callum mcmanaman.
Always destroys the prem big boys.
Arsenal only won that semi because he went off.

[Locke.]

So by your analysis Utd shouldn't have any strikers other than Rooney and RVP then, right?

[Drew.]

When will someone snap up callum mcmanaman.

:crazy:

[Jemal]

Do you even read what i say?
We should have back up strikers. You can aswell but Lambert imo shouldn't be one.
Thats my opinion.
