Transfer discussion thread.

[Bojan KantKick]

Benatia forced his way out refusing to train. Is Strootman going to do the same?

Don't know. Rojo did the same.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Got to wonder how many people have actually watched Dutch/Italian football regularly.

£32m is a hell of a lot of money for someone that hasn't played in England, Germany or Spain.

DMs are Italy's bread and butter. LVG evidently has watched him more than most

 

[Magma]

in fairness, of the players moyes 'rejected', he got them fairly bang on. vidal and strootman have struggled with injury and form, thiago has had a trail of injuries and now garay is doing go knows what in racismland.

i was bored earlier so here's a best 11 of players contracts ending at the end of the season.

there's others like terry and gerrard obviously who i havent put in cos i can't see them not signing with their clubs.

others also include milner, ranocchia, ayew, de jong, gignac, zambrano, mavuba, reid, delph, suso, neto, jefferson, mulumbu are all young and/or proven quality. plus there's also the expected russian firesale coming so good time ahead for buying clubs.

 

[SM]

I could see Gerrard leaving.

Arsenal being linked with Paulo Dybala for Palermo.

Don't know anything about him apart from being labelled the "new Sergio Agüero"

We've been linked with him too.

 

[jod23]

I agree, can't see RM going after Cech. They'd be looking looking at someone younger and about too or just in their prime. Petr's past that, but still better than Lopez IMO.

Cech is 32? That's young in GK terms. I wouldnt say he is past his prime at all.

Wouldnt mind having a go at Delph, Reid and maybe even Vlaar. Ings and Khedira too.

I hope we resign Suso.

Gerrard will sign obviously.

 

[Cruyff14]

I think he means he's past his peak.

Lol.

My only concern with Cech is what happened with Cudicini. Chelsea had the two best keepers in the league when Cech arrived, but a year on the sidelines saw Cudicini turn to rubbish.

Look also at how far Casillas fell after a stint out.

It doesnt take much for keepers to lose it and that would be my only question mark with Cech.

Carlo may never have gotten what he had back, but he was never rubbish even after 5 years on the bench.

Agree and that's why it is worth signing him in January only.

Do people really believe this Bale crap? He was signed just a year and a half ago for a world record fee. He has scored 33 in 66 games for Real. Yet apparently they want to sell him.

Yeah, nah.

No I personally don't.

I think Memphis Deapy will be the winger that we sign in the summer window.

However it is Real Madrid so who knows what they will do.

If Perez wasnt running the show i would say no chance but with him in charge you never know how long till he wants a brand new shiny toy.

 

[Magma]

bale's going to be his shiny toy for a long time

 

[NTRabbit]

Bale and Ronaldo, if anyone from up front is being traded in for something shinier it's going to be Benzema

 

[Latro]

Podolski being linked to Inter on loan.

City supporter - no chance.

Arsenal supporter - no chance.

United supporter - yeah but if and but and totally a small chance.

No United supporters.... no.

Same line Pool supporters were using when we were linked with Di Maria.

 

[jod23]

No we werent, Di Maria was realistic. He wasnt wanted at Real. Bale obviously is.

But hey, keep your hopes up for all I care.

 

[Magma]

sounds like atletico are activating sappy moron mode and swapping cerci for the corpse of torres' past. laughable to take on that lump for 18 months

 

[ADL9798]

@DavidAmoyal: Cerci-Torres loan swap, all the details of the deal http://t.co/Y0R3EVfMJb http://t.co/Y0R3EVfMJb

Yeah not sure it's the most sensible move for Atletico but it's great for Torres and his family that he gets to finish his career back where it all started. Even if he isn't the same player they last saw all those years ago the fans will love this, and if he's going to regain his confidence and scoring touch anywhere it'll be in front of an adoring crowd at the Calderon.

 

[chef]

Seems like a crazy move from AM as what you see now is what you'll get with Fernando. He's going to be the player he was no matter where he plays.

 

[Zidane98]

Same line Pool supporters were using when we were linked with Di Maria.

You offered 200k a week base wage + 60 million pound transfer fee. Di Maria and Real were never going to knock that back.
