The Transfers Thread

[SuperCats9]

I cant see how Rooney is the striker we need. No thanks.

Lewandowski would be perfect for Chelsea, would fit their system so well.

Shh! Don't tell them that! He's ours!

Top 10 transfer flops of the season
1. Christopher Samba — Anzhi to QPR (£12.5m)

2. Javi Garcia — Benfica to Man City (£16m)

3. Joe Allen — Swansea to Liverpool (£15m)

4. Marko Marin — Werder Bremen to Chelsea (£6m)

5. Emmanuel Adebayor — Man City to Tottenham (£5m)

6. Danny Graham — Swansea to Sunderland (£5m)

7. Esteban Granero — Real Madrid to QPR (£9m)

8. Alou Diarra — Marseille to West Ham (£2m)

9. Scott Sinclair — Swansea to Man City (£6m)

10. Maicon — Inter Milan to Man City (£3m)

 

[Cruyff14]

Wouldn't call Adebayor a flop.

Scott Sinclair has to be top of the list.

For 6mill?

They'll get that back if they sell him,

 

[Magma]

maicon has been injured a shitload, so that's a bit harsh.

can't disagree with garcia at all. should be number one. samba's only been at qpr for 5 months.

 

[Cruyff14]

So how is Adebayor higher when he was cheaper and has played more?

 

[Magma]

a bit more is expected out of adebayor on what, 100k a week? and he's scored 4 league goals?

I didn't make the list.

 

[ADL9798]

Taking into account his £100k/week wages it's hard to argue with Samba at the top of that list. The same argument could be used for the likes of Bosingwa, Park Ji Sung and any of QPR's expensive ring-in's who have not only spectacularly underperformed this season but seemingly didn't care that their performances had condemned a club to relegation. Did Granero even play?

It's hard to know how much of Allen's poor performances in the 2nd half of the season were down to the shoulder injury which prematurely ended his season (an injury which he was supposedly carrying since December) and how much was a legitimate form slump. He started the season in very good form but became a liability almost overnight which indicates to me the shoulder might have had something to do with it, it'll be interesting to see what type of player comes back in August because he was being talked up by everyone who saw him in 2011/12.

Marko hasn't been given much of a chance to show what he can do so I wouldn't consider him a flop.

 

[FISTO]

Adebayor has been our most disappointing player, definitely a flop.

 

[Kompany]

Marko hasn't been given much of a chance to show what he can do so I wouldn't consider him a flop.

I'm sure he's had his chances all season long to show what he can do in training.

 

[Hatchy1992]

I'm sure he's had his chances all season long to show what he can do in training.

Maybe so, but training is a completely different ball game to a competitive match up.

 

[Cruyff14]

yes, madrid are going to sell a player for less than they bought him for after they've made him into a better player

lordy.

i can't find anything on the marca website that quotes a figure or anything. nothing on the marca/marca english twitters either. haha.

Needs to be seen again for how well you're shitting all over United fans.

Looks like Eriksen is off to Dortmund. I rated our chances of landing him so long as one of Europe's top sides didn't come for him and until recently we were only really competing with Spurs for his signature. Gotze's move to Bayern has brought BVB into the market for a #10 and he fits the bill perfectly so while I'm still hopeful ("I will consider all the clubs and quietly make a decision. I want clarity when preparing for the new season, that's the best thing - for everyone."), I can't really see him going anywhere else but Dortmund now - regardless of how much Agger and Ryan Babel have been in his ear spruiking Liverpool!

 

[Cruyff14]

Still, if he was good enough he'd be selected.

Should be number 1.

Arsenal being linked with Portugese goalkeeper Rui Patrico, supposedly had a bid rejected though the reports vary. Never seen him play but from what i've read he seems to be highly rated, anyone on here watched him?

He was a good prospect a few years ago on FIFA when he played for a lower english team on loan from sporting

 

[Cruyff14]

Well according to a Portugeuse person I know and I quote "He's a good goalie, evolved A LOT. If it weren't for him Sporting were probably getting relegated"

If Dortmund get Eriksen and KDB + have cash to spend they'll improve even without Gotze.

 

[ADL9798]

I know they've declared an interest in both but I'm not sure if that necessarily means they want to take both of them as opposed to just one or the other?

 

[PP34]

My goodness, Rooney sooks about the dumbest things.

He'd be crucified if he was an AFL player constantly acting like this.

How dare Manchester United bring in RVP and how dare they bench Wayne when he plays like crap!

Rui Patricio is a good goalkeeper, is the unquestionable nr.1 in the National Team. The second part is is somewhat exaggerated, the Sporting without him could had a worse season, but who save the Sporting to be relegated was the coach Jesualdo Ferreira, which took the job in the middle of the season.
