2014 Summer Transfer Window Thread

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

First topic message reminder :

Brighton are gonna sign Chris O'Grady to replace Ulloa

Oh the lolz

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Aye, I do quite like that we've seen a niggle and we're resting him though and giving him a different fitness plan. We havent been like that in years gone by. And we now actually have strikers at the club to cover him. Could see Enner or Zarate down the middle a few times this year

[Crimey]

Ed Woodward has said that Manchester United would be happy to break the world transfer record for the right player and have a near unlimited amount to spend on transfers.

Not sure that's the greatest negotiation skill to tell the world that if Manchester United really want a player they are willing to pay anything because clubs will just start putting their prices up.

[GSC]

Has anything about Ed Woodward convinced you hes any good at negotiating transfers?

Besides clubs are hardly going to pick up on the fact that United make a lot of money for the first time now.

[Guest]

All talk. Hes made some major noise the last few days, basically setting himself up for a fall if he fails to land targets (which despite shaw and herera I still dont think he can)

[compelling and rich]

cant see us doing anything untill last minute if needs be, if rumours are to be believed lvg wants to have a look at the players first before signing anymore which is fair enough. herrera and shaw werent exactly the toughest choices seeing though we haven't got a left back without him and have no top class cm's.

think we'll see a cb brought in towards the end of the window, i personally dont expect too much else

[compelling and rich]

also forgot to add think we'll see a couple in jan, its not like we have to worry about players being cup tied for the champions league. and if we are in a strong position (i.e looking like getting champions league football next season) we will be in a better position to sign the top players

[Liam]

Yeh agree, can't see us signing anyone until we return from tour. Van Gaal would've sounded out some names to test the waters before tour, get's a look at some of the dross in our squad and then on his return writes up a list of the players we need. I truly expect Vidal to sign, probably early August like many others will and those leaving. I expect us to go after Strootman in Jan also.

[GSC]

Palace have signed Fraizer Campbell for some reason

Carry on.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Well, we'll be after a striker along with that full back then. Both loans i'd wager

[Ent]

Vidal ruled out joining united, disappointing but not unexpected.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

The quote I saw just said (basically) I dont know but I'm happy here

[Fernando]

"I don't know if I will stay at Juventus, I'm happy here in Turin," he told Sky Sports Italia. "I will talk with [Juventus coach Massimo] Allegri on Monday. I'm not going to Manchester."

[Ent]

Eurosport reporting;

"I feel good. I'm not going to Manchester"

[Ent]

Ah who knows maybe he meant he's not going on Monday

[Fernando]

To be fair it's not like it's going to admit he's off to United really is he. I wouldn't either not with that crappy kit   Id feel like a hobo that's scouting for rolf harris style promiscuity   

[Ent]

It's a football kit, none of them are fashionable.

[Fernando]

Indeed but that kit is the worst ive seen in a long time since this.

[The Special Juan]

Indeed but that kit is the worst ive seen in a long time since this.

Worse than the tuxedo kit?

[Dolphin Ziggler]

You think Arsenal's is nice? All of them are horrendous colour in the flesh, like a child got to choose.

BBC reporting United are "monitoring" Depay. Not sure whether that's news really, I'm also monitoring Depay

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Would imagine pretty much every club worth its salt is monitoring Depay

[Ent]

What the new home shirt? Nothing wrong with it, bland really.

[GSC]

I'm too busy monitoring Selena Gomez to be honest.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

I usually dont mind Arsenal's kits but these ones are so bright. Better sponsor than the Chevrolet blob, granted.

[Hammersmith harrier]

These are all just non stories, until a formal bid is placed none of it has any significance, players and managers say exactly what the fans want to hear so that if their plans do fall through they can make out it wasn't what they wanted.

[Fernando]

Dolph is it true that Reid has rejected a new deal? That's a major blow for you guys if true.

[westisbest]

leicester & Burnley in a tug of war for Troy Deeny.

£8m Burnley have offered Watford I heard.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

He's rejected a new deal but Sullivan has just said on TalkSport that he thinks they will get it sorted. He'll be an Arsenal or Liverpool player next year if not.

Sullivan has also said Allardyce has said Ravel isnt part of his plans but the board have said hes a part of the clubs plans.

Its been a s*** day

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Ive always liked Deeney...as a player

[Hero]

Here's what was actually said between the reporter and Vidal:


Reporter: Hi Vidal, how are you?
Vidal: very well thank you.
Reporter: you can set the fans minds at ease, are you staying?
Vidal: I'm still on holiday
Reporter: you're not going to Manchester no?
Vidal: (laughs) no, no.
Reporter: you have spoken to Allegri?
Vidal: not yet.
Reporter: have you spoken to your colleagues?
Vidal: no
Reporter: so are you staying?
Vidal: I don't know, I will return Monday to speak to the mister (Allegri)
Reporter: do you want to stay?
Vidal: I don't know, I am happy here.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Imagine if he went on holiday to Manchester...is there a Haven or anything on the outskirts? After selling his house and this Haven holiday, maybe hes lost it all

[GSC]

I heard the deals off, Vidal can't find a place within walking distance of an IKEA

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

He's rejected a new deal but Sullivan has just said on TalkSport that he thinks they will get it sorted. He'll be an Arsenal or Liverpool player next year if not.

Sullivan has also said Allardyce has said Ravel isnt part of his plans but the board have said hes a part of the clubs plans.

Its been a s*** day

6/1 for Allardyce to be the next premier league manager to leave. All over that...

[GSC]

Deeneys just a decent Championship striker.

[Soldier_Of_Fortune]

Hmm could Vidal come to Liverpool.....

[GSC]

It'd be a step above overpaying for a bunch of benchwarmers

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Hmm could Vidal come to Liverpool.....

Depends, is there free parking at a Homebase nearby?

[GSC]

Really depends if he can get a good rate on home contents insurance.

I also heard the current internet speed available in the area could be a block to any potential deal.

[Soldier_Of_Fortune]

It'd be a step above overpaying for a bunch of benchwarmers

Like last season?

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Thats similar to why he turned down City, I believe, who don't have great EE coverage and Vidal is a big Kevin Bacon fan so won't get a contract with anyone else.

[GSC]

Yeah, the likes of Luis Alberto, Iago Aspas, Simon Mignolet, Kolo Toure and Tiago Ilori were all central to Liverpool finishing 2nd.

[Soldier_Of_Fortune]

Deeneys just a decent Championship striker.

And Matty Fryatt is a revelation.

[GSC]

And let us not forget the sterling roles Victor Moses and Aly Cissokho played during season long loans

[Soldier_Of_Fortune]

Yeah, the likes of Luis Alberto, Iago Aspas, Simon Mignolet, Kolo Toure and Tiago Ilori were all central to Liverpool finishing 2nd.

You seen the butterfly effect?

[Soldier_Of_Fortune]

And let us not forget the sterling roles Victor Moses and Aly Cissokho played during season long loans

We still finished second

FFS i really wanted to sign Fryatt.

by GSC on Mon Jun 09, 2014 5:13 pm

Why? Hes pretty average

Que?

[GSC]

Vidals a big fibre optic fan though, which could complicate things.

[Soldier_Of_Fortune]

Always the way Swanny.

I think Vidal is average.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

"Eliaquim Mangala: Manchester City website shows 'signing' video"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28476691

[Ent]

Wonder how good this guy is, looks like an absolute tank at the back but sakho (who isn't great) keeps him out of the French side.

Sigh typos on phones.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Always the way Swanny.

I think Vidal is average.

Makes it all the more surprising Liverpool aren't paying 60m for him then...
