The Transfers Thread

[Magma]

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.

they are different, but he's been groomed as the guy to replace xavi for ages. has come through the barca system and everything obviously, don't think a guy as talented as himself should leave when he's on the cusp of breaking into the best team in the world. he'll play more next season imo.

xavi's heir. would be nuts to leave.

We were offering 35mil for Moura and Thiago is better than him. I think Barca would want about 25-30mil for him. We have been linked in the past. I would rather splash out on him than Falcao tbh

 

[Magma]

moura is completely different to thiago.

and i highly doubt barca have any interest in selling him. if thiago wants to go at such an early age they won't stand in his way, but they will demand the world for him.

Yeah I highly doubt he will leave, on the other hand his brother Rafinha may leave.

There has been a few pre contracts agreed in the bundesliga. One is Felipe Santana to Schalke, another is Max Kruse to Borussia Gladbach from freiburg and the last one is Sebastian Rode of Frankfurth announcing he will join Bayern either this transfer period or leave on a free at the end of next season.

All look like they will be good deals, though I have my doubts on Rode leaving for Bayern would much rather he either stayed at Frankfurth or went out on loan from Bayern as all he will do is sit on the bench next season but in a couple of years time I can see him replacing Bastian. Also I expect a schalke centre back to leave with Santana arriving.

 

[Magma]

not to mention jan kirchoff signing for bayern for the next season in the jan (haha) window. big tall german centre back, can only presume van buyten is leaving.

as for a schalke cb leaving, i'd put money on it being papadopoulos

and before anyone asks, max kruse is not related to robbie kruse

 

[Kompany]

Last I read about Van Buyten was that he had promising talks with them. He's a good guy to have around as backup. He's a great personality and Ribery's buddy.

 

[Latro]

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.

Our style is shit.

 

[chef]

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.

He's said in a few interviews that's his best position and where he wants to play. Would be a perfect fit for Chelsea IMO.

Bild reporting Gotze to Bayern.

 

[Sub_Zero]

Bild reporting Gotze to Bayern.

Please be true!

 

[Hatchy1992]

Bild reporting Gotze to Bayern.

The internets flooded with these reports.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

**** if Gotze is available get him United. We probably wouldn't have to pay as much as Bayern for him!!

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Kompany says if he leaves City it won't be to PSG because he supports Marseille

 

[Redalert]

Kompany says if he leaves City it won't be to PSG because he supports Marseille

Thats the single most ridiculous reasoning I've ever heard for not moving to a club.

 

[Kompany]

Marseille is the club he supported as a child. Kompany has principles .

 

[Magma]

if blid reports it, 99% it's done.

bayern have just sewn up the champions league for about the next 10 years.

and vinny isn't moving, last but foremost his wife wouldn't allow it.

 

[Flameboy]

It's Wikipedia official.

Mario Götze (German pronunciation: [gøːtsə]; born 3 June 1992) is a German footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga and the German national team.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

**** Bayern will be good now!!

 

[kane249]

I blame the internet, everytime I see the name I think people are referring to Goastse at first

 

[pantskyle]

I'd rather Bayern signed that.

Gutted if they get Gotze.

 

[Super Hans]

If Bayern get Gotze we will just about have the best young midfield in the world. Muller, Gotze and Kroos... Mmmmm.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Where are Can and Holjberg? Bayerns lineup next season full strength

Neuer
Lahm-Martinez-Dante-Alaba
Schweinsteiger-Kroos
Robben-Goetze-Ribery
Suarez

How on earth did you work that out?!

 

[moomba]

The German rags gonna be tough to beat next season.

Bet we get them in the groups again

 

[LeoMessi]

Looks like it's a done deal anyway.
