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)

Arsenal refuse to pay what Chelsea wanted for Ba.

Lukaku won't be going to West Brom.

by **Crimey** Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:06 pm

Nicklas Bendtner is staying at Arsenal as back up to Giroud now the Ba deal is off... picard

Shane Long having a medical at Hull ahead of a move.

Very good signing for them I think

by The Terror of Tylorstown Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:14 pm

Think it's safe to say that we haven't bid for Khedira, the only firm bids we've placed have been for Fabregas, Baines, Feilaini, De Rossi and Herrera, everything else is just media spin.

by Guest Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:24 pm

Herrera's gonna be a late one, along with Fellaini as the doctor has just gone to a Manchester hospital for the medical. This delay on the Ozil deal is worrying for Arsenal. Any news?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:25 pm

McCarthy to Everton not happening, Wigan wanted payments over a year to 18 months, Everton wanted to pay them over 4 years Erm

if Arsenal get Ozil and Di Mari Arsenal will win the league

Wenger had a heart attack when he realised he'd bid more than £10m for a player who wasn't a young french player.

Ozil deal is done, reason it hasnt been announced is cos wenger is trying to sign 2 madrid players, ozil and most likely di maria or benzema but I wouldnt be surprised if we got Pepe or Contrao.

by Guest Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:28 pm

The longest running transfer saga in France is over as Florian Thauvin completes his move to Marseille. They've just secured the services of the one the most exciting young talents in Europe for £12.7m.

Ozil & Di Maria will not win the league for Arsenal.

by The Terror of Tylorstown Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:32 pm

Ozil and Benzema or Di Maria won't shore up there defence, they'll score a few more but still not enough to compete with the top three.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:34 pm

Lukaku to WBA

Gonna save there season

by The Special Juan Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:36 pm

Lukaku = viagra - it might just keep them up.

We have just signed an Italian internation former Inter milan goal keeper who will help the defence.

Also our defence is not that bad we conceded less goals than Man united, Chelsea and Tottenham last season.

Ozil and di maria I believe would be the missing link for arsenal. Imagine walcott and di maria on the wings with cazorla and Ozil in CM along with Ramsey who is on fire and Jack wilshire.

by Guest Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:51 pm

Herrera

34 games
2 goals
2 assists
13 yelliw cards
2 red

£30 million? I dont think so

by Guest Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:55 pm

I only say because people on twitter are posting him to be some creative genius when lets face it stats dont lie

that isnt a particularly creative player

by The Terror of Tylorstown Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:56 pm

Sorry CS but you're being far too kind to Arsenal here, Ozil by himself wouldn't help overturn a 26 point gap to United or bridge the gap to an improved Chelsea. Getting a keeper in on loan to sit on the bench isn't exactly going to help the fact they have a fairly lightweight midfield with no tenacity.

The thing is United and City conceded a lot of goals in the last quarter of the season once the title race had been pretty much wrapped up while Arsenal had to play flat out til the last minute of the season, context is everything.

by Guest Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:00 pm

herrera will sit alongside carrick. he assisted 7 goals last year i thought. bilbao had a bad year last year, he's a good player.....is he better than ozil, obviously not but at least it's better than the shocking cleverley and the pensioner giggs.

agree with the context part about defence. arsenal need constant investment, ozil is not enough. if u think di maria is quality and going to lead you to a title, think again. over-rated, selfish, inconsistant, shoots on every occassion and then rolls around on the floor for ages and dives, feigning injury the rest of the time.

I am a massive fan of Ozil and di maria, I truely believe Ozil was Madrids 2nd best player last year and if you go on any madrid forum or facebook page everyone is begging madrid not to sell ozil.

Di maria is amazing too contributing 17 assists and 9 goals last year for madrid.

by Guest Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:00 pm

The herrera deal may have fallen through

Those kind of stats wont be replicated in the premier league, i'm remember the whole Madrid team getting shut down by United for over 130 minutes before the Nani sending off. Ozil is brilliant but Di Maria is very hit and miss, helps quite a bit when you're providing for Ronaldo, Benzema and Higuain. Not that i've heard anywhere that Arsenal are after him.

by Guest Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:03 pm

everyone playing in midfield for madrid assists double figures. there servicing ronaldo, higuian or benzema in games where madrid beat the opposition by four or five every game.

by **Hero** Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:03 pm

It's beyond amateurish that it is to fall through due to paperwork.
The transfer window has been open since July 1st, why on earth leave it until the last 12 hours to attempt it.
Woodward has to put his neck on the block come 11pm.

by Guest Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:05 pm

herrera deal completely dead. shocking.

by Bull Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:05 pm

Herrera deal off. -_-

by Guest Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:06 pm

Agreed mate

he has to quit or go back to the commercial side with his tail between his legs

Not just in reference to the herrera deal but our summer in general

by The Terror of Tylorstown Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:07 pm

The best signing we could make is bring Gill back in, this has been a shocking window from us, bid £42mil for Ozil right now and save it.

Moyes has been let down by the men in suits at Utd for sure

by **Hero** Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:08 pm

Can see it now:

Scholes resigns for another season.

by The Special Juan Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:09 pm

That's it, get rid of Woodward, if he even exists.

by Marky Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:09 pm

Moyes can't be blamed at all in all this, he'll have said who he wanted and Woodward has failed to deliver.

Fuming absolutely bloody fuming.

by Fernando Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:10 pm

MUFC officials at the Spanish league offices weren't even from United. They were Imposters.

by Marky Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:11 pm

Everton no longer signing James McCarthy. If Fernando isn't moving to Everton either, Fellaini deal won't happen either!

by Guest Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:12 pm

yeah, imposters haha, this is unbelievable. this has been an embarrassing summer and that is the icing on the cake. woodward should just commit suicide after this performance. totally agree, bid for ozil and save your bacon.

by Marky Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:12 pm

France football writer Matt Spiro: "Reports are gathering pace in France that Juan Mata has agreed to join Paris St Germain, but the move remains in the balance because Chelsea have not yet accepted the French club's offer."

by The Special Juan Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:12 pm

I think Niall Quinn raises a valid point - Fergie would tell Gill who he wanted and Gill would deliver. Woodward has made an arse of this.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 02, 2013 10:15 pm

It's much like the Arsenal situation since David Dein left.

Gill was the main man for us, what Fergie wanted he usually got, inbetween my rage at the ineptitude of Woodward is sympathy for Moyes who's had his whole plans for the season destroyed.
