Transfers Pending - Furious League

Rolando is interested however he enquires is he brought him to play 1st team football partnering either Dawson or Metesacker or will he be backup? He wants some assurances. Porto ask for the fee to be rounded to £15M and they will deal.

I can assure Rolando he will be at Tottenham to partner Dawson or Metesacker, depending on our opponants may depend on who his partner is but if he is forming a strong partnership with either they will have preferance.
I ask Porto, I currently do not have the £15m in full will they accept either of the following:
Kyle Lafferty + £14m
OR
£14m + £3m after 1st win

---

Daniel Carrico deal is hanging in the balance due to Rolando being linked with Tottenham

Porto have confirmed they will accept £14m + £3M after the 1st win for Rolando

Anelka sees himself as 4th choice striker under Villas Boas. We can offer him regular first team football, which he will not receive at Chelsea

The 4-4-2 with Drogba and Torres didn't seem to work last season and Boas played with 3 up top at Porto. Therefore I think:

Malouda/Kalou ----- Drogba/Torres ---- Anelka/Kalou

Are Chelsea's options for next season as it stands.

Sorry there is no negotiation in that deal Greggers.

Tottenham will sign Rolando. It has been confirmed.

What? I was told Farfan was £10m by a certain someone.

An Park for £2m as he is unattached.

Park is not unattached Viva, he is contracted to Monaco :S

Sorry Viva Farfan is a touch more expensive. I have had a price in my head for him for a while and he can't go for less than that, infact his price on transfermarket.com is actually more than the price I had in my head.

Smarts check it, Park don't play for them.

Tell me the fee for Farfan.

I did check it Viva, he is still on their official website:
http://www.asm-fc.com/equipe.aspx?id=1

Farfan would be £12M

Ok I'll buy Farfan for £12m but please believe me Park does not play for Monaco ask a neautral to check it. I'm just going to confirm Farfan and my lawyers now.

I'm pretty sure Park plays for Monaco Viva. Teams have been linked to him for cash amounts in recent weeks so I'm not sure how he is a free agent?

Ok, I just checked on Wiki and it says his last club was Monaco but as you say his still at the club I think I'll leave the transfer for now.

Im sure he is still at the club Viva. Somebody must have manipultaed Wiki.

Closed until Monday now

Patrick van Aanholt - Chelsea

With a few already in front of him he would benefit coming to Birmingham in a £1.5m deal, he has been sent out on loan the last 3 seasons only making 2 app's for them so really this shows he has not much chance especially with the emergence of Betrand leaving him 4th choice..

Is that a loan deal Fan? If so then thats a deal.

Oscar Cardozo
Benfica
£12m

Following Stoke's recent interest, we would like to declare our interest. We are aware that Cardozo turned down Stoke due to lack of European football, which we at Sunderland can offer him

Oscar Cardoza is interested in the move but Benfica are looking for slightly more cash for their targetman. They are aware they have negotiated with you before in the Saviola deal and think you have a good relationship with them.

I believe that Benfica like me and I therefore offer £13.5m cash

Benfica are asking for £15M for Oscar Cardoza and they would like to conclude a deal today so they can start the hunt for a replacement.

I appreciate the urgency from Benfica, although I only have £13.5m spare cash and any deal being concluded today may depend upon Viva pulling his finger out and doing lawyers

They will accept £13.5M today and a further £3M as soon as you have it.

is bruno alves in the league?

Nope

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

SHUT IT AFRO!!!!!

bruno alves
12mill
After adding the russian cup and league to his personal list of accomplishments he would like to try something new and join our team.

Not sure what my previous stance was on Alves, Afro can you remember?
Zenit would sell but would want to recoup close to the fee they initially paid for him.

I think it was exactly what you said.

He would leave but they would want their money back.

and how much did he cost them?

€22m or £18m according to his wikipedia page and several news reports

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Alves

but he's 30 years old now. Surely his price has dropped a couple of million?

They only signed him last year and has a longer contract left with Zenit than he did with Porto

Sunderland 2/3

Danny Welbeck
Man United
£1.5m loan (6 games)

With the arrival of Ashley Young and Chicharito's rise to being a first XI regular means opportunities look few and far between again for Danny. We offer to take him on loan for the rest of the season.

Sunderland 3/3
Christian Eriksen
Ajax
£8m

The young Dane has impressed for Ajax and a move to a bigger league looks probable. We would like to make the first move to bring him to England, where our game will suit his style of play.

Sorry Afro but there is a ban on Ajax players until they sign some new ones on here (from lawyers) as so many of them have been bought. Being consistent as this was the reply to a very good Alderwield.

Danny Welbeck loan = £2M

Name: Javier Pastore
From: Palemero
To: Stoke
Fee: £22m

We at Stoke are ready to smash our transfer record to bring in Pastore, his club would be making 5 times profit from him. We know this may be a risk and I spoke to the Stoke board. First team Football is guranteed at our club at his preferred position, we already have a couple of former Seria A players who have adjusted brillianty here. Serie A is going through a bad patch and I feel our leauge is better, we don't stand in the way of our players and if the Madrids, United offer for him next season and for the right offer we will allow him to leave .

Name: Mirko Vucinic
From: Roma
To: Stoke
Fee: £14m

Here at Stoke we are very short on strikers, we are after Vucinic who will give us a new dimension. We feel this is a very good offer for Roma and Vucinic. He will link up with Montolivo, Palombo who have played in Italy. We have Quagliarella who Vucinic has always liked and said kind words about.

Cardozo - £15m

Welbeck - £2m loan

BOTH SIGNED

Pastore - If he leaves Palermo it will be for more money and to a bigger club than Stoke (as they currently stand) sorry Viva.

Vucinic - As discussed last week, Roma do not want to sell. If he moves to a club on a level with Stoke in our league irl then you will have first dibs on signing him Viva. Best I can do at the moment sorry unless you have some new information on him?

continuing negotiations from yesterday -
Bruno alves
I can offer 13mill now and 5mill when i get it in the future.

As you are paying in installments you will have to pay over the £18M asking price. You would be looking at 13M now and 8M as soon as you have it.

21mill for a 30 year old . I think he's the most expensive cb in this league lol.
I cant believe im saying this but DEAL.

Joe Ledley - Limited chancwes at Celtic and after arriving on a free a £2m bid is launched to take him to Brum to the skint Glasgow club

Joe Ledley took part in 37 games for Celtic last year fan starting 34 :S
However both club and player are interested in a move. A £4.5M fee has been quoted.

I can guarantee you he didnt

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/team/squad/_/id/256/season/2010/league/sco.1/celtic?cc=5739

ESPN seem to think he did. This is league games and if you change the competition filter, they show the same numbers as Smarts

appearances maybe but not starts, I watch most games and read the reports - he did not start 34 games, he was mostly a sub, but hey ho am not paying that much for him

I am only going by ESPN, but they are definately saying 34 starts and 3 substitute appearances.

ok ill leave it then

Adam Lallana - Southampton - Step up for the lad - £2.0m

Thomas Rosicky - £2m loan until his future at Arsenal is sorted and a chance to regain his fitness

Thomas Rosicky loan is fine
£3M for Lallana on a perm deal.
