Transfer thread

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Mon May 30, 2011 4:04 am

Given that we have a gossip thread I thought it would be fitting to have a thread for transfers that go through. This can be any league domestically or world wide. Please make sure they have been confirmed before posting them if they haven't been confirmed they are gossip and belong on the gossip column.

Real Madrid sign Jose Maria Callejon from Espanyol for €5.5million.
Derby County sign Theo Robinson (Millwall), Frank Fielding (Blackburn) and Jamie Ward (Sheffield United).
Norwich City sign James Vaughan from Everton for £2.5million.
Hull City sign Joe Dudgeon from Manchester City.

James Vaughan Everton-Norwich £2.5m
Deane Smalley Oldham-Oxford free
Ishmel Demontagnac Blackpool-Notts County free
Kelvin Wilson Nottingham Forest-Celtic free
Joel Grant Crewe-Wycombe free
Reto Ziegler Sampdoria-Juventus undisclosed fee

Jamie Hamill Kilmarnock-Hearts free
John Sutton Motherwell-Hearts free
Andrea Pirlo AC MIlan-Juventus free

by Guest Mon May 30, 2011 4:20 am

Pirlo at Juve will be an interesting one, same for Ziegler going there too, seems to have re-established himself.

Maybe we should try to not put transfers others have, or you edit your original post with the new transfers other people post?

Danny Grainger was rumoured to be coming to Carlisle Sad

I guess he didn't want to be competing with Robson for the left back position, or Hearts offered more money, but we still need some cover in case Robson gets injured or if injuries mean he moves back to left mid.

by **Derbyblue** Mon May 30, 2011 4:30 am

Pirlo could be a very good signing on a free, but he didn't play much last season, does anyone know why this was?

by Guest Mon May 30, 2011 4:32 am

Probably age, more than anything. He's a class act, but they changed their system to accommodate Robinho and Ibra and obviously Prince-Boateng is an emerging young player too.

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Mon May 30, 2011 4:40 am

Pirlo has been injured a lot this year he only made 15 appearances for AC in the season just passed. AC are trying to bring the age of their side down and get a bit more pace into the side. Pirlo was starting to not fit in any more he slows the pace down, he is a dead ball expert though and has a great range of passing. If he stays fit he should be a good signing but it might be an indication that Acquilani won't be staying at Juventus.

by **Derbyblue** Mon May 30, 2011 4:46 am

They don't want to pay the £16million fee that was agreed as in the loan deal with Liverpool.

by Guest Mon May 30, 2011 5:03 am

Nuri Sahin is moving to Real Madrid over the summer; 10m EUR which seems like a bargain.

Looks a good signing he can play a number of positions and has a great engine.

by **Derbyblue** Mon May 30, 2011 9:24 am

Shame it's to Real Madrid he might have got a game somewhere else. I think he may have some injury issues as he hasn't played many games in recent seasons. He has a great shot for someone who doesn't score regularly.

by Guest Mon May 30, 2011 7:34 pm

Yohann Cabaye - £4.5m - Lille to Newcastle.

When was this confirmed?

by Guest Mon May 30, 2011 7:52 pm

Last night. Cabaye was being interviewed on French TV and confirmed it himself; further confirmation given by Barton on Twitter.

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Mon May 30, 2011 7:56 pm

Nice one mate a bit of an exclusive for you then because it's not up on sky sports transfer centre yet.

by Liam_Main Mon May 30, 2011 8:00 pm

Wasn't it on the Sky sports transfer centre a few days ago?

by Liam_Main Mon May 30, 2011 8:00 pm

Or am I thinking of a different signing?

by Guest Mon May 30, 2011 8:04 pm

That would have been Mehdi Abeid; a decent young lad who's just left RC Lens. The Cabaye deal was rumoured for a few days before a NUFC delegation went out to France to convince him and Gervinho to come to Tyneside.

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Mon May 30, 2011 8:12 pm

The Abeid deal is already on this thread.

Thats the one a was thinking off:P

Gervinho would be a excellent signing for us. Can play on the wing or up front aswell, him and Ben Arfa would be a lethal combination.

by Guest Mon May 30, 2011 8:22 pm

Strong rumours in the French media that he told NUFC late last night that he is ready to sign. Gervinho playing infront of a midfield of Jonas, Tiote, Cabaye and Ben Arfa sounds brilliant! Not to mention Nolan as backup.

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Mon May 30, 2011 8:28 pm

Would you drop Nolan?

Newcastle need to bring in a goalscorer and a strong centre back imo. Maybe even a right back as well. That would give them a strong 11 then they need to strengthen their squad a bit with steady squad players.

by Liam_Main Mon May 30, 2011 8:28 pm

Where starting to form some midfield!

I would probably play 4-3-3 though and have Nolan playing

Nolan Tiote Cabaye

Jonas Gervinho Ben Arfa

Just a centre back now and we'd have formed a promising team going into next season.

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Mon May 30, 2011 8:45 pm

Pardew will play 4-4-2. Problem with that front line is their doesn't seem to be a lot of goals in it.

by Liam_Main Mon May 30, 2011 8:50 pm

Gervinhos got 25 goals from 54 games which is almost a goal every two games. Which isn't too bad.

But I would agree we could do with a player who can score 20 goals a season which i'm not sure we would have with Ben Arfa and Gervinho. A player like Peter Odemwingie would be perfect.

by Guest Mon May 30, 2011 8:52 pm

Liam, not enough strength up there to hold the ball up. I'd rotate Nolan with Cabaye, I reckon Cabaye will play more passes forward. CB is strong enough with Taylor finding form and Coloccini having a good season. Another winger and striker would be my priority, and then a LB to challenge Enrique and then look towards possibly a RB.

by SugarRayRussell (PBK) Mon May 30, 2011 8:53 pm

Gervinhos goals have came in France I would be surprised if he scored at that rate in the EPL.

According to Sky the Cabaye deal isn't quite done yet but should go through later today.

by Guest Mon May 30, 2011 9:12 pm

Just a formality of it going through today; everything has already been sorted. Although I thought international deals weren't allowed to be announced til start of June?

by CFCNick Thu Jun 02, 2011 4:29 am

1811 BST: We have a confirmed transfer! It's just a shame we've always known all about it. Bayern Munich and Schalke have officially agreed a deal for Manuel Neuer.

Jude Sterling MK Dons - Notts County Free
Ruud Van Nistelrooy Hamburg - Malaga Free
Steven Thompson Burnley - St. Mirren Free

by **Crimey** Fri Jun 03, 2011 1:06 am

Malaga, aren't they the one that got taken over by some rich owners and have Real Madrid's old manager and are trying to build up their own team of "Galaticos"? Will Van Nistelrooy still cut it at the highest level? Real Madrid were supposed to want him back but got Adebayor instead.

by Guest Fri Jun 03, 2011 2:04 am

That's them. Also got Buonanotte signed up as well. Demichellis joined them in January as well.

by AberdeenSteve Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:03 am

Wow, Malaga have been signing some decent players.

Buonanotte is top quality. Where'd they finish in La Liga?

by CFCNick Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:05 am

Malaga were 19th with 7 games to go then won 5 in a row and drew at Bilbao before being beat by Barca and finished 11th.

by **Derbyblue** Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:07 am

Malaga finished 11th with 46 points, 50 points below Barcelona (1st) and 16 above Almeria (20th).

Brad Friedel Aston Villa - Tottenham Free

by **Crimey** Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:46 pm

That's a good signing. Redknapp was saying it's great to have three good goalkeepers now, but I can't see all three staying. It will probably be Gomes who goes, as I can't see either him or Friedel wanting to stay on the bench, in fact I have a feeling that's why Friedel went to Tottenham over the supposed Liverpool interest as he has been promised first team football.

He has signed a two year contract as well which is interesting considering he is already 40.

by AberdeenSteve Fri Jun 03, 2011 11:28 pm

Youl Mawene Panserraikos to Aberdeen - Free

He was at Preston before, can someone enlighten me?
