2014 Summer Transfer Window Thread

First topic message reminder :

Seems as though Joe Cole has been released by West Ham, might be a solid bargain for a lower league team if hes prepared to drop

by Hammersmith harrier Sat 7 Jun - 14:28

Not sure what to think about these Kroos rumours, get the impression his agent is trying to force through a move for him using any team's name he can.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 7 Jun - 14:40

Little injury, although Arry has said he was about to come on until O'Neil got sent off. Hes done fine there, they're still interested in him anyway

i wouldn't get too carried away with midfielders doing well in that league. look at taarabt stats! even tom cleverly managed to score double figures in that league!!

by Guest Sat 7 Jun - 15:06

Cleverley 11 goals in 30 odd games in the championship for watford wasn't it. That says everything, geezer couldn't hit a barn door now he's in the EPL.

I actually only just seen this mock-up pic, classic though.

I wasnt getting carried away with it, hes done well in the Prem when hes played though. They'd have loved him at Newcastle this season, would have been a reason to watch after Cabaye left. The only reason.

they already have a temperamental lazy but very talented player in ben arfa, and he's not been getting a game because of the former

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sat 7 Jun - 16:01

Rav will drop deep to get the ball and has played deeper well too, so that wouldnt have been a worry. Pardew probably would have got on with him too.

So he's not getting a game because he's very talented? Wink

IndyKaila says that his sources are telling him that Ribery is considering retirement due to his injury.

by FootballLight Sat 7 Jun - 16:14

Liverpool look like they are going to be the big spenders this summer out of the Top 4. Who blames them. With Man City's transfer embargo and United being out of the Top 4 and Arsenal and Chelsea just all rumours so far, they are actually going out, spending their money on top talent and improving their squad. Lambert seems a cheap and different option, Emre Can is a top talent and £10m is a very reasonable price for such a talented player and (even though it is only rumours so far) it seems they have given up on Konoplayanka now and gone for, once again, a very reasonably priced £15.5m on Xherdan Shaqiri. Thatdoesn't seem like a bad £30m (roughly) at all to spend imo.

Plenty of rumours, not many deals. But I can't state that as a fact for sure. I believe there will be many private negotiations between clubs currently. But hoping some deals will fly through soon enough.

IndyKaila sources are mayo, ketchup and barbecue in the KFC he works in.

Though Chelsea will be spending in the region of 65-70m in the next week on Costa and Fabregas.

Liverpool will probably end up spending the least out of the big teams and can't say they've spent that well so far, Can seems to be getting over rated purely because he's signed despite the fact he's just not good enough. While Lambert is good, he's too old for a club pushing for the title, will hardly play and won't improve them at all.

by Guest Sun 8 Jun - 10:26

We`re linked with Curtis Davies & Arturo Vidal...........no wait, Aleix Vidal from Almeria picard

Man United linked with Vermaelen, could see that happening actually.

hope not, extremely average for a while. if were after a belgium CB i'd rather be go for vertonghen

by GSC Sun 8 Jun - 11:05

In other news, David Moyes fears that all the PL clubs could soon be managed by foreign managers.

Which is why hes voting yes for independence.

by Bull Sun 8 Jun - 11:17

The Bulling News is reporting that Schwiensteiger could be on his way to Manchester United.

by AberdeenSteve Sun 8 Jun - 13:44

Emre Can is decent at best, but he is being signed (in my opinion) to add depth to what was quite a thin squad last season. Liverpool with options on the bench will be a much more dangerous side than what we saw last season.

by Kurt N. Jurqa Sun 8 Jun - 13:54

Anyone seen the photo that's emerged of Gundogan?
Wow he's piled it on!

Tbf he does have a point. Im fearing within the next 3-5 seasons, all managers will be foreign.

by Kurt N. Jurqa Sun 8 Jun - 14:55

What doesn't help is that it costs ten times as much to get grade A coaching badges in this country as it does in Germany etc.

Mandzukic: "I don't feel good & I think it's best to part ways. I wish all the best to #FCBayern & Pep, but it's time for new challenge."

by GSC Mon 9 Jun - 10:30

Seems Stoke will sign Sidwell

by Guest Mon 9 Jun - 10:37

Gomis deal looks close.....finally.

by Alistair Mon 9 Jun - 10:57

Jack Colback currently posing for pictures on the pitch at SJP, John.

by GSC Mon 9 Jun - 11:10

Colback does indeed sign.

Interesting to see where Mandzukic goes.

Chelsea perhaps.

by Alistair Mon 9 Jun - 11:12

Can't see Costa and Mandzukic at Chelsea unless they are definitely offloading Torres.

I'd like him at Arsenal.

by GSC Mon 9 Jun - 11:16

Why wouldn't they be offloading Torres?

by GSC Mon 9 Jun - 11:17

Anyway, seems we're signing Fryatt on a free and some Dutch 2nd division striker I can't spell for 2.5m

by Guest Mon 9 Jun - 11:23

Alistair wrote:Jack Colback currently posing for pictures on the pitch at SJP, John.

Yeah, decent signing on a free but he's nothing special. Won't forget him taunting us after he scored against us last year & him putting up pictures of himself mocking our defeat.

Abramovich is a huge fan, plus, i can't see anyone taking him on with his wages.

Depending on where you live...ALL managers are foreign!!!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 9 Jun - 12:55

No one in Cornwall relates to any of the managers!

You can tell agents are the world's biggest liars, McKay said Gomis was going to a club with an ambitious chairman!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 9 Jun - 13:04

Sport in Spain are suggesting that Barca have agreed terms with Reus and will bid 35m

by GSC Mon 9 Jun - 13:06

Poor mans Matty Fryatt Whistle

Yeah, said it a few days ago, that they had reached a verbal agreement with the player or something. Now the story has more legs today, another fine capture by Barcelona in this rebuilding phase, if they do sign him. I like the direction they are going.

Is he actually going anywhere?

by Guest Mon 9 Jun - 14:36

We just signed Colback on a free, how much more ambition do you want?

by whocares Mon 9 Jun - 15:25

Alvaro Morata (21 years old Real madrid forward, 9 goals this season) is looking for game time and should leave this summer. Arsenal could well be bidding for him.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 9 Jun - 15:42

Sounds like Juve are in first place, although why he thinks thats a good idea with the options they have there already.

by Geordie Mon 9 Jun - 15:54

John wrote:We just signed Colback on a free, how much more ambition do you want?

Yeah its a realy inspiring signing... Erm

At least he's English, which is quite a novel approach from our management team.

Reus won;t move this summer, probably next when he actually has a RC.
The verbal agreement stuff originally from that Rafael Hernandez guy who is clearly briefed by someone to leak what they want, not what is true.

by GSC Mon 9 Jun - 21:01

Fryatt

Woo

by Fernando Mon 9 Jun - 21:05

Joe Cole to join Villa

by GSC Mon 9 Jun - 21:06

Woo

Lamberts abandoned his youth strategy then

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 9 Jun - 21:16

When the yoof if Nathan baker and andi weimann its probably best not to stick with it

They're in serious trouble until Lerner sells up

by westisbest Mon 9 Jun - 21:25

Weimann aint that bad.

W've been in trouble since MON left.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 9 Jun - 21:27

Weimann is in the agbonlahor category. His pace makes people think he's better than he actually is

by westisbest Mon 9 Jun - 21:40

Like i said he isn't a bad player. Needs to improve a bit though.

Gabby has gone downhill last few seasons.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 9 Jun - 22:36

Oh Joey. Lambert might use him correctly, and Joe still has his brain and technique.
