Transfer Rumours Thread

[apollo_creed]

Faubert (AKA Big Jules) has a "grease me up and rub me down" melon too doesn't he?

Who knows what he looks like? He played about four minutes last season. And those four minutes weren't anything to write home about. Dear Diary....

Another big money, waste of money signing from West Ham. Who'd of ever thought?

Came as a winger (supposedly) and now he's a right back?

Ouch! that's some demotion.

I guess when Lucas Neill is your best right sided defender you're desperate enough to play anyone there.

Big Jules should've have gone to Manchester City to play with Big Jo. But he's got big Deano though. The peroxide man. No, not you Alan.

Big Deano reminds me a bit of Kevin Spacey.

I saw those 4 minutes.

In which he managed to put about 5 balls over the Upton Park roof.

Riise, you've got mail.

Please don't even consider comparing the two of them.

True.

Riise, Champions League winner.

Big Jules, bald West Ham player.

Quite unfair.

Fat Annie Lennox, he's just a fat Annie Lennox...

 

[Embers]

10,000,000 millon p-o-u-n-d-s for AJ = Andrew 'oil my noggin' Johnson represents so much better value.

A perfect fit really.

Someone actually believes that crap? Anyway where getting a combined 11 million for Zamora and Cole if you believe the press, which I dont

Faubert is a good player. Awesome cross and strong. Hes gonna play right back cos we have a gazillion RW atm. Our preference would be Behrami and Faubert right side it seems. Both can attak and play right back if need be. A good duo

HA! Fat no more....

Seems Embers, thats what Curbs has got in mind (Faubert & Behrami), looks like hes opening the door for either Ferdinand to go and Neill to move centrally or sell Neill.

Ronaldinho saga looks like drawing to a close.

We've apparently had an offer accepted (32m euros), the pressure is now being put on AC Milan to match it or walk away.

I think Milan is his preferred destination even though we'd be paying him a whole lot more (subsidised by Nike) but I'm not sure they have the dough or the willingness to spend it on a risk.

Will hopefully be sorted one way or the other by the end of the week.

32m

Wow.

Risky.

 

[moomba]

Very, but while I'd normally sum up the pros and cons of a move like this for the chance of seeing Ronaldinho in the flesh week in week out playing for Man City I don't really care about the cost.

 

[ShearMagic9]

We've taken Sebastian Bassong on a week long trial.

He's a defender, so he'll probably be garbage.

 

[Embers]

Bobby Zamora having his medical at Fulham. According to SSN the fee is 6 million pounds

Money is good but stil sad to see him go. Fact is his goal against PNE was the most important goal ever in our history. Will always be a Hammers legend.

Stephen Carr is training with us over in the US atm.

You are our retirement home after all.....

 

[Embers]

Bah, hes signed nothing yet. I imagine Carr is just training with a few mates. I think Nobby is stil training with us too despite being released.

 

[Borgsta]

Berba to Man Utd for 28m.
Bentley to Tottenham for 17m.

Sigh.

 

[DB10]

The great thing is you'll be paying us about 5m of that too.

Bentley and Modric is a pretty good set of wide players, though.

A midfield of

Bentley Modric Zokora Dos Santos

Looks good to me. Zokora is underrated and gets too much crap. A good player

You think Modric will play wide though?

Would've thought he'd play in a central position.

I do think they'll need a really good defensive midfielder.

I you consider their full backs will be Hutton and Bale (Or I'd imagine they would be) and the 3 other midfield players being Bentley, Modric and Dos Santos. That's really, really attacking.

You'll need top class to be effective covering that much space. Zokora is ok, but top class he isn't.

Bentley is good. Nothing more.

Dos Santos isn't spoken of highly by Barca fans. And they'd know.

Modric is very lightweight and unproven anywhere outside of the Croatian league.

I don't mind Zokora though. He's no worse in quality than Bentley, Modric or Dos Santos.

only because he is an arrogant twat!!

 

[TorresIsGod]

only because he is an arrogant twat!!

Agreed, no doubt he has as bucket loads of talent, but is the commitment and determination to prove every wrong burning inside him? Only time will can, he's very small and lightweight and may not adjust to the EPL at all, who knows with this one, will be interesting to see how he copes early on in the season, pressure will be on him

 

[moomba]

Bit of talk that we'll buy Neill off West Ham for £750k, but it will be dependant on West Ham paying out some of the last two years of his contract because we're not prepared to match what he earned there.

 

[Jolldo87]

Rumours are that Tottenham have accepted a 28 million pound bid from us

 

[bus24]

Accepted, even

Thats good money for Tottenham, and Man Utd get the type of player they need.
