2013 Summer Transfer Window Thread is continued...again

by **Crimey** Fri Aug 30, 2013 11:13 am

First topic message reminder :

Four days left of the transfer window and still Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle still aren't moving quickly. The Bale deal still hasn't gone through, there is still speculation that Real Madrid may go back in for Suarez and Arsenal could break the transfer record. Tottenham have also decided to sign everybody.

Available at the moment seems to be a list of the players who were the best in the world five years ago:

Kaka
Fernando Torres
Samuel Eto'o (until yesterday)

Pete O'Rourke ‏[ltr]@SkySportsPeteO[/ltr]34s
West Brom are poised to sign former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Lee Camp on a short-term deal until January. #wba #skydeadlineday

What career? He's basically not played for United.

So you're left with International and Dortmund, both where he's looked exceptional.

by GSC Mon Sep 02, 2013 1:31 pm

Does Fellaini count as a panic buy?

Since United are going to be paying more than his release fee that ran out earlier in the window?

by TopHat24/7 Mon Sep 02, 2013 1:32 pm

Not if we've been tracking him all summer.

by GSC Mon Sep 02, 2013 1:33 pm

Then wouldn't it have been prudent to sign him before the season for a cheaper fee no?

by GSC Mon Sep 02, 2013 1:36 pm

Spurs have been quoted 10m to take Hulk on loan

Was that ironic? I assumed the biggest club in the world to be a reference to Real and Ozil.

Ozil will be a brilliant signing for Arsenal if they can get it through in time.

Yes, it would have, but that still doesn't make it a panic buy. Just inept transfer market dealings.

by GSC Mon Sep 02, 2013 1:45 pm

So United didn't want him at a cheaper fee, but suddenly do at a higher fee on the deadline.

hmm

No, I just got mixed up and thought he was talking about Kagawa, as I was. In which case the point still stands.

No, they wanted him for as cheap as possible and hoped they'd flush out a transfer request or Evertonian capitulation. They guaged it spectacularly wrong and now have to pay more than his release clause or his worth to get him.

Arsenal have made an enq for Demba Ba.

He would be good to sit on the bench for Arsenal tbh, would be a good signing.

All about following the right peeps.

BBC tend to be the best to be honest, rarely publish anything until it has been confirmed or verified.

we've been a joke this window, someone should get sacked over the fellani farce. beyond stupid

moyes isnt helping himself so far, giggs on right wing yesterday has to be one of his most stupid decisions. i didnt really want him in the first place but now weve got him we have to back him and let him build a team of his own. most united fans have known we need strengthening but overachieved last season due to fergie and rvp

why the hell were not in for ozil i dont know, and we have to start giving kagawa a game!!

by NickisBHAFC Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:02 pm

Stoke want to sign Stephen Ireland on loan for Villa. Erm, wow that would be a crap signing. Not even good enough for Championship standard IMO.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:02 pm

If I have learned anything today, it is that Bale's little beard bit of hair makes him look a proper boobie

moyes is doing himself no favours with that either, he's clearly one of our best technical players. but he's been wheeling out a 40 year old instead!

sounds like the herrera deal might be happening, would be happy with him and at least another one

That's generous of them. I imagine they'd much rather get him for nothing Whistle

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:19 pm

Curse you, the fee*. I trusted implied knowledge!

Newcastle have been oddly quiet today...just hoping they get through without losing any key players?

by The Terror of Tylorstown Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:20 pm

Feilani and Herrera would make me rather happy, wouldn't have been my first choices but gives us some much need quality in the centre of the park and a good bit of variety.

Kagawa, Rooney and Van Persie seemed to be building up a good understanding at the beginning of last season before he got injured, Moyes has to start using him. With those three starting we go from having no cutting edge to having two very creative players.

Judges rate him as a player who will be worth that fee in a year or two time. And he is a player who destroyed them a couple years ago. They've got the money, they like buying young players, its typical United really.

by GSC Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:21 pm

Don't think you play Rooney and Kagawa, its either or I think.

by **Crimey** Mon Sep 02, 2013 2:21 pm

I think the Ozil signing will be the best signing of the summer if it goes through, a lot of money but Ozil is a class player.

I'd have to agree. Best value of the big money deals

I think you could, but not sure Moyes would want to move away from the Manchester United tradition of wide-men.

What judges? All reports I've read place Isco and Illarramendi far, far ahead of Herrera. United are only signing him because there is no-one left to sign, not because he's been their target for 18 months.
