The Transfers Thread

[ADL9798]

I forgot footballers don't lie.

Footballers who are intending to leave their club generally just keep their mouths shut or give neutral answers to questions regarding their future, they don't go out of their way as much as he has to refute speculation. He's also told the rest of the players he'll be staying too. Despite his reputation of what people think he's like as a person I don't think he's that callous an individual to lie to his friends faces.

Chelsea slowly but steadily pulling me towards the dark side

So what would your midfield look like then next season? I think it would only be wise to bring back KDB if he can get about the same number of games as Hazard got this season.

In my humble opinion and if we set up the same as this season.....

In the double pivot, a mixture of two of Mikel, Ramires, Romeu and ?????(hoping like hell it's Fellaini). Sadly I think Lampard we not be offered a new deal and Essien will be sold. Chalobah(who I think will be a gun CDM) and Ake will be loaned out.

The three behind the striker, a mixture of Moses, Mata, Hazard, Oscar and KDB. Malouda, Marin, Benayoun and Kakuta will be sold and Piazon loaned out.

The Striker, Ba, Schurrle(who will also play behind the striker) and ?????(Hoping it's Lewandowski and Torres is sold). Lukaku out on loan again.

And welcome to the dark side.

Chalobah has been linked with Arsenal. Do you know what his contract situation is chef

Heard it's just that Arsenal wants Chalobah, but he's very happy where he is and the development plan Chelsea has for him. Contracted until June 2014.

No way he's going anywhere IMO and is seen as a possible future captain of the club.

 

[monty1104]

I'd love Chalobah, all reports from Pieman87 indicate he is absolutely dominating the championship this year. He's a bit biased though.....

 

[moomba]

"The deal, that would be solely funded by their Qatari owners, would not fall in line with Financial Fair Play, meaning sales may have to be made to balance the books"

Wouldn't happen for that reason alone.

Maybe it will when we get some Qatari owners.

 

[Kompany]

Kevin De Bruyne has come to agreements with Dortmund, Leverkusen and Schalke, while Chelsea has told him they would like him to return. This is coming from his agent.

I had no idea he would have that much freedom to decide for himself. He is still talking to his family about what would be the best option. His issue with Chelsea is that he doesn't know yet who the coach will be next season.

De Bruyne cares the most about playing with regards to the world cup (qualifiers).

That is a massive turn over. How much cash is the new manager going to be given?

As much as Roman wants

We will be trimming quite a bit in wages at the end of this season and I've only added three new players.

 

[typeclub]

Suarez also said he would consider offers from CL clubs just a couple of weeks ago.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Saw an article saying Newcastle would join Spurs and Liverpool (and Dortmund) to sign Weimann from Villa though would take that with a pinch of salt as the same article had a picture of Benteke instead lol

 

[Magma]

spanish fox sports saying we've signed cavani.

because if there was anyone to know the business between an italian and an english club for a uruguayan player, it would be the spanish.

Good signing........

 

[Kompany]

Clubs interested in Fellaini (according to Belgian newspaper):
Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Bayern Munchen, FC Barcelona, PSG, Zenit Sint-Petersburg en Anhzi.

I guess Barcelona would be looking to play him as a CB.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

I honestly wouldn't want Fellaini if he price is too high. He has been pretty poor lately

 

[Kompany]

Being played out of position all the time doesn't help.

I don't know how good he can be but he's definitely looking to play in a more holding position. As an attacking midfielder he can no longer get into the Belgian XI.

 

[Cruyff14]

Just another overrated spud.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

you said it chief!!!

 

[Magma]

i think fellaini is overrated to an extent, but he's certainly not a spud. he seems like the kind of guy who would needs to just be played in his best position and left there. he's played all over the pitch, a holding role, behind the striker, as a striker. i agree that he should be a holding midfielder, and used as a battering ram to get it forward, similar to how yaya is at his dominant best.

he's strong, he's relatively quick, and can play a decent pass. he'd slot into a fair few midfield's quite easily.

 

[Cruyff14]

Would take him at Arsenal in a heartbeat.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

I want United to make a BIG play for Thiago. He wants first team opportunities and he would work a treat next to Carrick. He reminds me of a better version of Cleverley

 

[Magma]

xavi's heir. would be nuts to leave.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Would take him at Arsenal in a heartbeat.

Whilst I wouldn't turn him down, I think there are a lot better options out there that are more suited to our style. For me he would get caught out to much, similar to song.

Completely different players imo. Thiago's much more direct, though I think over the next few years we will see Barca become more direct especially once Xavi retires.
