The Transfers Thread

[jod23]

no it's not. if you can find one neutral football fan out of every 100 who agrees I'd be very, very surprised.

Well from all the evidence, that front three is better. Huge question marks over Di Maria and Benzema fitting in and excelling in the English game. Whereas we have almost the player of the year in Suarez and Sturridge who has shone since moving to Liverpool with 10 in 15.

As I said thanks but no thanks. If Suarez put in a transfer request and we had to move him on. Great, that deal seems a very good one. But we dont have to sell Suarez so keeping him is obviously the better choice.

Thiago Alcântara is likely to join Manchester United after the arrival of Neymar to Barca who will be awarded the No. 11 shirt. However his agent has said that Thiago will decide his future after the U-21 Championships.

why do you always bold your posts in this thread?

Because he copy/pastes from sites and when you bring it to BF they tend to be bolded.

Difference between playing great for half a season when the pressure is off and being a great player.

I'd wait and see on Sturridge and Coutinho.

Not overly keen on Benzema, Di Maria is top quality though, it wouldnt surprise if we had a nibble there.

Im still waiting and seeing on Sturridge but Coutinho, well he just oozes class.

Well this popped out of nowhere. Never heard of him before.

cos that's what chelsea need, more young attacking midfielders!

 

[Shoei]

Supposedly Lyon are interested in Gervinho, could maybe be part of a deal with Grenier?

Why they would want Gervinho is anyone's guess. That would also leave Arsenal another forward down.

If we sign Thiago I hope it is done early.

We do need central midfielders.

Not a huge loss really. With Podolski and Walcott being the wide starters, Gervinho was a (very good) backup. If AOC continues his development, then I can see the impact from the departure of Gervinho being minimal.

There's a difference between an attacking midfielder and a centre midfielder.

No shit.

From the reports I've read(must admit I haven't seen him play) he's a CM not a AM, which is what we need.

 

[Shoei]

I wish Arsenal could offer 40 Million and get both Di maria and Benzema

Why are we not linked with them? They'd fit two needs.

lew's agent says he's off to bayern in the summer

best move for dortmund, lew won't go anywhere else and it's best to get what they can for him now and re invest for the future.

No disrespect at all or anything, but I trust NFGs word over yours when it comes to players, the guy knows his shit.

There will be no impact at all if gervinho left, irrespective of the ox's continued development or not. Gervais has been one of Wenger's worst signings.

 

[Magma]

in fairness van ginkel can play practically anywhere in the midfield.

Fair enough mate.

He's box to box isn't he?

I meant more along the lines of that will leave Arsenal with only 2 recognised forwards in Giroud and Podolski.

Since Podolski plays wide and Walcott cant be trusted to play through the centre, if Giroud is suspended/ Injured for a period, we really have no other options besides our new French youngster.

Bendtner, Chamakh and Park have all been failures. Gervinho has failed but to a lesser exten, I cant see Wenger letting him go and replacing 4 forwards in one off-season.

 

[Magma]

he may have for this season. the season before he was more up the pitch, haven't really paid much attention to him. i assume it'll be because of the chelsea link with vitesse.

 

[Kompany]

No shit.

From the reports I've read(must admit I haven't seen him play) he's a CM not a AM, which is what we need.

Even if he is, a guy with just 1 cap for Holland (a friendly) isn't being bought to play for you. He's an investment for the future. You'll loan him out and if one day he's good enough for you, you'll have signed him on the cheap. If he won't be good enough for you, you'll have made your money back through loan fees and you'll make a profit on the higher selling price.

Not looking at Chelsea here but this is not good for football. It's good financially for the player, his agent and Chelsea, but in the end what you get is an elite club making even more money and smaller clubs missing out on transfer fees.

Gerinvho can **** off for all I care. Useless player, lacks final ball, can't finish, panics. Useless.

Bye Gervais.

Oh where are the days GrandBlue was saying Gervinho and not Hazard was "the man" at Lille
