2013 Summer Transfer Window Thread is continued...again

by **Crimey** Fri 30 Aug 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)

by **Crimey** Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:17 pm

Can't believe Chelsea might let Juan Mata go, he's been easily their best player over the last two. Oscar, Hazard, De Bruyne are good but not as good as Mata.

Can't believe United are going to end up with only Fellaini, still think Everton might pull out on that one if they can't bring somebody in.

Andy Johnson has re-signed for Crystal Palace, good signing that. Former Crystal Palace hero, if he can stay fit I think he'll score lots of goals. I've always liked Johnson, think he'd have been a success has he not had the injury problems he has had.

by Marky Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:17 pm

I still expect Fellaini to join Man U.

by GSC Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:18 pm

United didn't understand Spanish tax laws Laugh

This is beyond hilarious after the Arsene bashing all window

by Guest Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:19 pm

It's Woodward's fault obviously but Moyes should of said, get me Fellaini a month ago before the clause expired. it's all about communication. its just a total **** up in the communication within the club. embarrassing time for united and Ozil looks to be confirmed at Arsenal

by GSC Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:19 pm

Woodward is a myth like Kagawa

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.

Yeah it's a shame but there's nothing that can be done. Someone's going to pay for this with their job and I know who...

by **Crimey** Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:20 pm

How have Arsenal and Manchester United, two if the biggest clubs in England, made too, what look like amateur, errors in transfers?

Arsenal with the 40 million and 1 pound bid and the Manchester United with the Herrera deal.

by **Hero** Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:20 pm

A tweet by Gary Neville on TDD a year ago:

@GNev2: What the transfer deadline gives you is a clear indication of which are the badly run football clubs!!!

How ironic.

by Marky Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:20 pm

"It is understood the player had indicated a willingness to join the Old Trafford club and that United were willing to meet Herrera's £30.5m release clause but the deal will not now go through."

Tip: If you're willing to pay it, bid the release clause before the final day of the transfer window picard

Why have Sunderland signed Borini and Dossena?

Have they not seen these two play football?

Yeah, it seems that Moyes turned down the chance to sign Fellaini early in the window to focus on targets like Fabregas.

They've both played football pretty well. Just not in their time at Liverpool.

by Guest Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:23 pm

If United don't get Fellaini done tonight, then I'd suggest three things:

1. Moyes sets up deals for January, and have them all in place by the end of this week
2. The Ghost is sacked
3. If those two things don't happen, United will struggle to make 4th place.

Nothing to do with that, with Bilbaos unwillingness to sell there wasn't enough time left to push the deal through, very little to do with tax laws but idiocy in leaving it too late.

Not getting good vibes about Lukaku. Hope I'm wrong for the sake of my #wba followers, but seemingly Everton bound

by The Terror of Tylorstown Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:24 pm

A title challenge may be a struggle now but people would do well to remember that any team that contains Rooney and Van Persie isn't going to find coming 3rd too tricky.

Bilbao's unwillingness to sell was irrelevant when there was a €36m/£30m buyout throughout the whole summer...

OZIL CONFIRMED. GREAT SIGNING AND A PLATFORM FOR GREAT THINGS.

by The Terror of Tylorstown Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:25 pm

Hence why I said we left it too late.

Further information suggest Lukaku is indeed unlikely to return to #wba. Paves the way for Anichebe

Oh dear

Personally I think you've left it too late.

by The Special Juan Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:29 pm

Spanish football writer Andy West: "Some bizarre reports coming out regarding United's collapsed Herrera deal. Apparently a group of men claiming to be United representatives spent an hour at the La Liga offices in Madrid today, but it turns out they had nothing to do with the club and were presumably just attempting to get a cut of the deal in an elaborate fraud.

"Must be stressed these are just rumours but the Spanish media have published pictures of men in black suits - supposedly the United "representatives" - coming out of the league offices carrying briefcases.

"All very strange and no doubt the truth will come out in the next few days."

by Guest Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:32 pm

Basically Arsenal need to go big next summer aswell and capitalise on the Ozil signature. Next, they need a genuine world class striker. The target will be top 4 again in my opinion and then the big step next season, it's a long term turnaround now because Wenger left it too late to bring in three quality players.

only one thing i can say about this transfer window

Doh

and a few

for good measure

by Marky Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:33 pm

@ncustisTheSun says Ander Herrera deal is not dead yet and Man Utd are negotiating over buy out valuation believing it is too high.

I don't know what to think anymore.

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:34 pm

I think I'll join in

Moyes Laugh

I hope Lukaku doesn't go to Everton. Won't hear the last of it.

Fellaini deal happening based on this.

by Guest Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:37 pm

If city dont sign a midfielder then Fellaini will be off as well

The silver lining I suppose is that Woodward will be gone tomorrow after this comical window

Not disastrous at all to be honest.

10/1 Clarke to be sacked first, 4/1 Albion to be relegated in most places. Lump on.

Genuinely think we're done for.

by Marky Mon 02 Sep 2013, 10:52 pm

Seems James McCarthy to Everton is back on...
