Summer Transfers

[Andys]

About as reliable as Sky Sports.

Which, by the way, isn't very.
we will see.

[Wootzeh]

if i remember correctly, lequippe is a very very reliable newspaper

[Geraint]

L'equipe's very good with cycling I know that. :P

Seeing as it's a French paper you'd have to go along with it.

[StefanWolves]

i hate the french and have no reason to believe them...

but then again, look at the sun, not exactly the most trustworthy of papers! only paper I believe is the spanish newspaper marca.

[Skajo]

The only thing that's stopping me from believing it is the fact that Wenger said he was interested in Chankuh or whatever his name is and I know that Lorik Cana is a VERY highly rated player across europe.

If you get them, you're in Europe next season no doubt.

[AlexOC]

Ched Evans > Sheffield Utd

3m

We're in talks with them atm and Bruce is expected them to have a medical at Amsterdam later today :)

[Geraint]

Paul Parry's off. The cull continues. At this rate, Ledley won't be sold and he's the one player we need to be sold. :(

[Wootzeh]

Stoke have signed Dean Whitehead for an initial £3million possibly rising to £5million.

[Andys]

Stoke have signed Dean Whitehead for an initial £3million possibly rising to £5million.
THANK YOU :eusa_pray:eusa_pray:eusa_pray

[Browney]

5m is a neat little sum I think. Happy with that.

[StefanWolves]

good look with him.

[Browney]

beauty! :eusa_danc

[Andys]

dancing in the streets here :D

[Browney]

who would've thought... whitehead gone, Cana joins. wharra day.

[Andys]

who would've thought... whitehead gone, Cana joins. wharra day.
Not adam ;)

[Wootzeh]

26year old albanian, unproven in premier league :S ;) :D

[Browney]

26year old albanian, unproven in premier league :S ;) :D

experienced at international, european and his (well, former) club captain. Yeah, he'll flop. :(

[Andys]

26year old albanian, unproven in premier league :S ;) :D
i hope you're joking
was really good for marseille, and obviously a good leader.
exactly what we need.
he's a damn sight better than whitehead ;)

[Geraint]

Parry joined Preston for £300k. Think I'll have a bit of what you're having Sunderland fans.

[Jack.Lfc]

Dossena wants napoli move, i think ill join y'all.

[Tristan]

"told you so"

I think the main doubt that adam had was over Chamakh. I don't think Sunderland'll get him.
I'm not sure that he'll even get a transfer.

[Jack.Lfc]

Alonso is in madrid as we speak.

[Browney]

I think the main doubt that adam had was over Chamakh. I don't think Sunderland'll get him.
I'm not sure that he'll even get a transfer.

He's not Arsenal standard at all. I cant understand the connection. Even though he has some lovey touches, the most of his goals are scored with his noggin. Thats totally not the way Arsenal play their fooball so I can't understand it. Besides, hes not even a young prospect, hes 25/6.

[Simmzay]

From what I've seen of Chamakh he seems like a poor man's Adebayor. I'm not fond of Adebayor either.

[Andys]

I think the main doubt that adam had was over Chamakh. I don't think Sunderland'll get him.
I'm not sure that he'll even get a transfer.
Doesn't look like we're after him anymore, we're showing more interest in Bent.

[StefanWolves]

What the hell are you thinking about? Bent?? crud.. :P

[Andys]

What the hell are you thinking about? Bent?? crud.. :P
Better than Murphy, Healy, Stokes etc.

[StefanWolves]

Murphy isn't that bad, he's experiences.

Bent is a proven big money flop though? XD

EDIT: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport

read the yellow strap bar on the top, tour going to city.

[Andys]

Murphy isn't that bad, he's experiences.

Bent is a proven big money flop though? XD
are you ******** me?!?!?!?!?!?!
he's disgraceful. possibly the worst player in our squad.

[StefanWolves]

there is worse players, i'd have him in the Wolves team just for experience. :P

[Andys]

there is worse players, i'd have him in the Wolves team just for experience. :P
No, trust me, if you'd seen him pay for us any time last season, you'd change your mind.

[Browney]

I hope we dont pay the 15million for Bent that spurs are asking.

[StefanWolves]

I think it's worth a gamble at... £11M? not £15M though.

[Andys]

I think it's worth a gamble at... £11M? not £15M though.
We're rolling in money, don't worry :8

[StefanWolves]

Wait, how much did you buy Cisse & Kenywin Jones (however u spell it) for?

[Browney]

Wait, how much did you buy Cisse & Kenywin Jones (however u spell it) for?

Cisse was a loan you*Removed* But I seem to remember them asking about 8 mil Euros for him, but then the pound took a nose dive over that year, making it more like 8 mil pounds when it would've been about Six mil pounds.

And Kenwyne was 6m.

Edited by Catzsy [Forum Super Moderator]: Please do not make comments that could offend others. Thanks.

[Andys]

Wait, how much did you buy Cisse & Kenywin Jones (however u spell it) for?
I think we'll regret not buying Cisse, but thing is him & Jones could not play together.
But yeah Cisse was season long loan (dunno the fee paid)
Jones was 6m & Stern John (:lol:)

[StefanWolves]

Cisse was a loan you douche. But I seem to remember them asking about 8 mil Euros for him, but then the pound took a nose dive over that year, making it more like 8 mil pounds when it would've been about Six mil pounds.

And Kenwyne was 6m.

Ill ignore that comment.

Toure on his way home for talks with City, if he goes their then Arsenal will finish 5th and City 4th, IMO.

[Browney]

I didn't realise douche could be taken seriously. I might as well have said dipstick.

Ah well, and City are no where near 4th. If City finish anywhere above 6th, I will don a Newcastle avatar for the entirity of next years pre-season.

[Andys]

Someone sig that ;)

[StefanWolves]

Can't wait for that then. :P

[Browney]

No one willing to take me up on a reverse bet? ;)

Oh and TheWolf, http://www.habboxforum.com/showpost.php?p=5957292&postcount=21 Oh dear! You called him a divvy! :(

[StefanWolves]

Divvy doesn't actually mean anything, it's a common word around Wolves.

You can't compare douche with divvy. :)

[Immenseman]

i think martins is a good player. he'd be alright in the PL with a decent team.

[CHA!NGANG]

Angry at Toure if he goes. Thought he'd be loyal but apparently not. 16 mill is not enough imo.

[StefanWolves]

It's confirmed, Darren Bent to Sunderland for £12M, set for a medical tomorrow.

[Browney]

It's confirmed, Darren Bent to Sunderland for £12M, set for a medical tomorrow.

Well, thats a whitehead cheaper than was predicted, not bad then.

Oh btw, source?

[Immenseman]

bent is alright. give him a run in the team he'll get goals i reckon.

[Rock]

Yeah Sunderland are making the right decision for the improvement of the team.

[StefanWolves]

Well, thats a whitehead cheaper than was predicted, not bad then.

Oh btw, source?

SkySports is the source. ;)

It came up earlier on the "Just In" thing.

Isn't up on their website yet though. ;)

[Andys]

Well, thats a whitehead cheaper than was predicted, not bad then.

Oh btw, source?
He posted it on his twitter like this morning so its old news. (you should really visit readytogo.net/smb for that kinda stuff, they're always pretty quick with out transfer news.)
But http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/sunderland/8172438.stm

[Immenseman]

mccormack to pompey? o.O

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_5458036,00.html

[Geraint]

see him next season then. :lol:

if he goes, he goes, want him to stay but it'll be a bad choice for him if he goes. some of the stuff he has said is just contradicting himself.

[Jack.Lfc]

Arbeloa as gne 2 madrid.

[StefanWolves]

arbeloa blows anyway:P

[Jack.Lfc]

When he was injured, we missed him big time.

[Loser]

see him next season then. :lol:

if he goes, he goes, want him to stay but it'll be a bad choice for him if he goes. some of the stuff he has said is just contradicting himself.

Alot of it's be mixed up by the media. He basically rang to remind Ridsdale that he's allowed to leave if a big club comes in for him (unofficial agreement). It was first reported as a transfer request, and now everyone seems to think he hates Cardiff. :lol:

[-Heart]

McCarthy stalling on decision over Bobo Balde after his trial games Down Under, due to fitness worries.

[Skajo]

When he was injured, we missed him big time.
only because you didn't have rb cover, much like now with ur only rb being johnson.

toure is a -swear word-.

[StefanWolves]

Toure and Lescott look to be on their way to City.

[Jack.Lfc]

only because you didn't have rb cover, much like now with ur only rb being johnson.

toure is a -swear word-.

Suppose, should have kept him for back up tho.

[StefanWolves]

He still sucks.

Can't Carragher cover at RB if needed anyway?

[Geraint]

Alot of it's be mixed up by the media. He basically rang to remind Ridsdale that he's allowed to leave if a big club comes in for him (unofficial agreement). It was first reported as a transfer request, and now everyone seems to think he hates Cardiff. :lol:

I know but seeing as he signed the contract 3 weeks ago, why did he feel the need to remind Ridsdale? It's pretty much a transfer request. But by saying that he doesn't want to play second fiddle behind Michael Chopra that means he doesn't want to fight for his place so why would a Premier League club buy a player who won't fight for his place. He says that he doesn't like playing winger but he played there for Motherwell albeit in a 4-3-3 formation not a 4-4-2. He wants to keep his Scotland place, he's played there twice and I'm sure that they were on the wing. I do want him to stay, however.

[StefanWolves]

Is Ross McCormack actually worth all this hype? I think he'd flop in the prem?

[Geraint]

Scored 23 goals last season and half of them came from the penalty spot. He does try his heart and isn't afraid to shoot. We'll miss him but I don't know if he's good enough for the Premier League yet even though he did well for Scotland against Holland and Iceland.

[-Heart]

McCormack will get raped in the Prem.

[StefanWolves]

whos gonna rape him?

[Browney]

whos gonna rape him?

vidic. he rapes everyone else.

oh, except torres.

[StefanWolves]

Torres rapes Vidic and Ferdinand at the same time, whilst standing on one foot.

yeah

[Skajo]

McCormack was made at Rovers.

[Geraint]

Ended their interest now. Well, that lasted a long time.

[Andys]

Toure signed for City

[-Heart]

whos gonna rape him?
Everyone?

[AlexOC]

The central defender who spent seven years with the Gunners has signed a four-year contract and becomes the sixth summer signing.
He passed a medical late this afternoon and then headed straight to the Blues headquarters to finalise paper work.
Boss Mark Hughes who added Kolo to other new faces in England midfielder Gareth Barry, strikers Carlos Tevez, Emmanuel Adebayor, and Roque Santa Cruz and goalkeeper Stuart Taylor believes that the Ivory Coast defender will be a huge influence in the dressing room and on the pitch.
"I am delighted to welcome Kolo to Manchester City. It is no secret that we have been looking to strengthen our defence, and in Kolo I feel we have recruited a world class player. He brings a wealth of Premier League experience from his seven seasons with Arsenal,” he declared.
“Kolo has been a central figure in a very strong Arsenal team for many years, and I have been an admirer of him for a long time. He is strong, quick, reads the game well and will be an influential figure in the dressing room.”

2 more defenders then we've done.

In January Adebayor and Toure and going to be gone for like 6 weeks for the African Nations Tour, :/

[Jack.Lfc]

Torres rapes Vidic and Ferdinand at the same time, whilst standing on one foot.

yeah

Those lucky men.

[Skajo]

Those lucky men.
he's turned. he's turned!!!

[-Heart]

Those lucky men.
******* GET HIM!!

[StefanWolves]

i dont like long hair on men

sorry torres

[Jack.Lfc]

Not really that long, not as long as voronins anyway

[Soy]

looks like spurs are signing Vieira

[AlexOC]

:o

Elano signed for Galatasaray.

Only miss him for pens and freekicks, but he was amazingly good at setting people up and longballs.

Trouble maker behind the scenes though, distracts the team alot.

[Andys]

Off Bent's twitter: Do I wanna go Hull city NO. Do I wanna go stoke NO do I wanna go sunderland YES so stop ******* around levy

[Browney]

good lad. haha I might just get twitter...

[Andys]

apparently he's in deep **** with spurs now :P

[Browney]

yeah I thought that. at first I was like go on lad, tell 'em how it is. then I thought, I hope hes not that petulant all of the time.

Congratulaltions on beating Hull and Stoke to someone's signature. Who's next Messi? :D

Who said it was a big thing? Just stating that he wants to come here.

[Browney]

Don't tempt us. I was never worried anyway. 15 mil is money that not alot of clubs can afford or would dream about paying for Bent.

[Geraint]

people who like fishes fancy *****rs.

liverpool selling alonso

oh knows! :P

[Skajo]

Is it just me that thinks Bent is highly overrated? Ever since he left Charlton.

[Jam]

Is it just me that thinks Bent is highly overrated? Ever since he left Charlton.

Yup. He got like 20 goals that season and has done stuff all since. The same season that Andy Johnson did somewhat similar and has ended in a similar predicament aswell.

[Browney]

Is it just me that thinks Bent is highly overrated? Ever since he left Charlton.

NO.

I don't want him here. He's overpriced and we're a far too big club for him. Nahhh, hes just overpriced, overrated and inconsistent. But his callibre is about right for us.

[Geraint]

He scored 20 goals for a struggling Charlton team, who's to say he can't do it for another struggling team? :P

[Jack.Lfc]

30mi for Alonso, big tom will be rubbing his hands.

[StefanWolves]

30mi for Alonso, big tom will be rubbing his hands.

No way on this earth is he earth £30,000,000...

[Skajo]

No way on this earth is he earth £30,000,000...
If Ronaldo's worth £80m. I'd say Alonso is worth £40m.

[StefanWolves]

Ronaldo isn't worth anywhere near 80m, no player is or ever will be, 40m for Ronaldo would have been perfectly acceptable.

[Skajo]

In which case Alonso is worth £20m. In this inflated market, Alonso is being sold on the cheap for £30m. I rate him extremely highly.

[CHA!NGANG]

Kaka should have been sold for £40 Million and Ronaldo for £55 Million. Alonso is worth about £20 Million in my opinion. The normal going rate for a world class player is £30 Mill, e/g/ Rooney, Benzema e/c/t but Kaka and Ronaldo are above that price in my opinion, along with Messi. Those are the only 3 players in the world I'd pay over £40 Mill for.

[Jack.Lfc]

Not Torres or Gerrard?

Barcelona still have a better team than Madrid.

[Jack.Lfc]

Why do these villa rumors keep circulating :@

[Shoovers]

Real Madrid inflated the market by paying 80m for crynaldo, so if they dont wanna pay £30m for one of the best players in the world at what he does (Alonso), then he can take his money and shove it where the sun dont shine.

I hate Florentino Perez and Real Madrid

And Jack, it's probably just the media making **** up like usually cos they know we'll have money if Xabi goes

ooh thats so clever, that your own creation?

and Alonso is down the list imo. I rate Xavi, Iniesta, Gerrard, Lampard, and maybe Pirlo higher.

[Jack.Lfc]

Alonso off.
Villa In.

Thats whats doing the rounds here anyway.

[Geraint]

Villa in? **** me, that'll cost you a bomb especially when only Young would get into your team and maybe Friedel. Carew and Agbonlahor would be handy though.



Excuse me while I get my coat. :)

And Fabregas and maybe essien when he's on form. Arsenal showed we don't need to buy anyone to come in the top four, a new center back and midfielder would help us win it though. Luke Wilshire next big thing.

[Skajo]

Luke Wilshire next big thing.
Fantastic fan.

You beat Rangers fgs, they're ****.

[CHA!NGANG]

Fantastic fan.

Watched both matches, and he was amazing in both. He has great awareness for a 17 year old and we need a good left sided player too. Both his goals were great too. A lot of pressure for him too seeing as the England Manager was there just to see him.


You beat Rangers fgs, they're ****.

Arsenal 3 - Rangers 0

Arsenal 2 - Atletico Madrid - 1

Arsenal 1 - Hannover - 0

Arsenal 5 - Szombathely - 0

Arsenal 7 - SC Columbia - 1

Arsenal 2 - Barnet - 2

Won every match except 1 which we drew. I know there not the best of teams, but nevertheless it shows that we have a good team that can play together and I've watched 2/3 of the matches and we've played very well.

I know we won't win with the current team, but if we buy a couple players then who knows.

[Skajo]

JACK WILSHERE
LUKE WILKSHIRE

Two different players. Two different clubs.

Probably the best true home-grown talent Arsenal have had for years and you don't know his name :S

[CHA!NGANG]

JACK WILSHERE
LUKE WILKSHIRE

Two different players. Two different clubs.

Lol you got me. Yeah got first names mixed up and typing on a PSP doesn't help, my bad. Who's Luke Wilkshire then, never heard of him before, donno why he came to mind. I meant Jack Wilshere**.

[Skajo]

Semi-decent LM 27 year old Austrlian plays for Zagreb I think :s

[Geraint]

Luke Wilshire plays for Dinamo Moscow who are playing Celtic in the Champions League. Used to play for Bristol City.


Paul Parry has joined Preston :)



Oh, and congrats on beating all them crap teams. You have a better pre-season record than Man Utd, Liverpool and a lot of other teams. Why are they even playing the Premier League next season when quite clearly Arsenal are going to win it?

Did I say that? No. I said that I think with the team we have we can make the top 4, nothing about winning it. To win it then we do need to buy players. And seeing as last season, we had a very good if not the best record against playing Liverpool, Chelsea and Man U, it was lower teams that beat us and took points away and Rangers and AM are the same quality as teams such as Fulham, Portsmouth e/c/t, actually I'd say AM are the same quality as Everton and Aston Villa. I know pre-season doesn't mean too much, but at least it shows that we have a good healthy squad with good team work.

1112 BST: Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he will not improve his original offer of £6m for Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh. (L'Equipe)


0944 BST: French striker David Trezeguet is staying at Juventus after deciding a prospective move to Serie A rivals AC Milan would be tantamount to a "betrayal" of the Turin club.

I doubt Arsenal will even get a mile close to winning the prem this season.
They might even sell Philip Senderos and that would be even a bigger joke and a MASSIVE blow to to team.

If Arsenal want people to take them seriously well i suggest that they get a decent manager who can buy players who will bring the Club forward. Not saying Arsene is a crap manager as he bought fantastic players of the years, Henry, Fabri, Van Persie, Nasri, Ady but over the past few seasons or so, Arsene seems to have lost the plot.

Wouldn't be surprise if Arsenal just won the Emirates cup tbh.

[CHA!NGANG]

Personally if I'm honest I don't think we will win either unless we get players and we have the money, but Wenger knows what he's doing and I still think that despite the last few seasons. Jack Wilshire might play a large part this season, not sure. Arsene is still one of the best managers in the world, so I don't think we need a knew manager. Phillip Senderos was never going to play a part in Arsenal which was decided last season so that's not a suprise to me or any other Arsenal fan really and isn't really a big blow. He dipped a lot and I think he does have talent but we have: Vermalaen (sp.), Gallas, Silvestre, Song, Djourou and we might even buy another CB so we don't need him that badly. I think we will come 3rd with the current team and with some improvements 2nd. Next season when some of the younger talents have got experience, then who knows maybe we can break through and win. Only time will tell I guess but I'm sure we can win another cup in the coming season, just a matter of if it's the Carling cup or the Champions League but like I said, that depends on who and if we buy.

The finically backing for a club like Arsenal is a joke, i understand that but you got like £40 million from the sales of Toure w.e his name and Ady. No excuse there to bring in 2 or 3 class players with that money.

I don't think Jack will play a big part in your team yet this season, as he's only 17? I'll doubt he'll play any prem games until the very closing stages of season. Most deffo see him in the Carling cup and Fa. Arsene put out so good youngsters last season in the them two cups so i wouldn't be surprise if he does the same this season.

Won every match except 1 which we drew. I know there not the best of teams, but nevertheless it shows that we have a good team that can play together and I've watched 2/3 of the matches and we've played very well.

I know we won't win with the current team, but if we buy a couple players then who knows.
Who gives a **** if you beat them :S? It's only pre-season.

[Jack.Lfc]

What's so funny Jack! :@

Silva would chose United over Liverpool any dayz!

Gallium balague is the funny thing.

Wouldnt be to sure ;)

[CHA!NGANG]

The finically backing for a club like Arsenal is a joke, i understand that but you got like £40 million from the sales of Toure w.e his name and Ady. No excuse there to bring in 2 or 3 class players with that money.

I don't think Jack will play a big part in your team yet this season, as he's only 17? I'll doubt he'll play any prem games until the very closing stages of season. Most deffo see him in the Carling cup and Fa. Arsene put out so good youngsters last season in the them two cups so i wouldn't be surprise if he does the same this season.

Yeah he probably will be used as a sub/for those cups but I think he is capable of playing in the PL but either way he will be a good talent in the future. Don't forget, we need to pay back for the stadium, and that's what the bulk of money is going towards so that £40 Mill might go towards that but I'm sure at least 1 or 2 signings will happen.


Who gives a **** if you beat them :S? It's only pre-season.

How about you read my other posts before you post. I clearly explained why I posted those results and what I think they meant and that I know pre-season isn't that significant.

I think Liverpool will sign either Villa or Silva by the end of the transfer window.

[Jack.Lfc]

Villa will be in the nortwest tomorrow, you heard it here first.

[Skajo]

I don't know. I really don't.

Think about it - Vermaelen is a straight swap for Toure yes and he's 5 years younger than Kolo with potential to become a new Hangeland - a Prem gem. If you solely watched Adebayor last season he's a very lazy player and insists on everything being done for him. Class player, too egotistical and really can't play in a team and Wenger's made a tidy profit on him. That's all that's left.

They still have the talisman Fabregas in the team, Gallas who played fantastic the latter end of the season, Rosicky and Eduardo fully back from injury - Ramsay, Walcott and Vela will shine this season if given chances and you've got back up in the shape of Gibbs and Wilshere who have been playing fantastic.

I think Arsenal have the best chance of winning the title this season without any more additions since they last won it. I don't think Chamak will improve the team drastically, his strike rate is 1 in 4 and for a striker that's incredibly poor. I do think Melo would've improved the team but I think they could do with an experienced midfielder and could replace Almunia because he is sometimes a liability.

In other words, I reckon Arsenal have a great chance of winning the title.

[CHA!NGANG]

I'm in two minds of Almunia and Gallas. They can be great at times, and have good experience but at other times they can lapse and play poorly.

Everton in talks with Arsenal over Senderos
Everton have confirmed they are in talks with Arsenal over the proposed transfer of Philippe Senderos to Goodison Park.
The Merseyside outfit claim the deal is not yet done but that negotiations are ongoing with Arsenal.
A fee of around £6million has been mooted, with any deal for Senderos likely to intensify speculation over the future of Manchester City target Joleon Lescott.

Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright told the club's official website: "We have been negotiating with Arsenal for the transfer of Philippe.
"Nothing has been concluded yet but talks are on going."

Lescott on his way then?

Liverpool in for Defour
Steven Defour's agent has confirmed that Liverpool are keen on the Belgian star.
Real were considering Defour should they not sign Xabi Alonso from Liverpool, who are also viewing him a replacement for the Spaniard.
Roma's Alberto Aquilani remains a target for Rafa Benitez, but Defour is also very much on the radar for the Anfield club, who are expected to sell Alonso to Real this week.
Standard have insisted that they will not be parting company with their prized asset but, Defour feels that is not the case.
"I have an agreement with Standard Liege that I could go to a top club, and Liverpool fit the bill," the 21-year-old is quoted by the English press.
And his agent, Paul Stefani, has confirmed that Liverpool are keen on Defour.
"Steven's name has been mentioned not only at Real Madrid, but also at Liverpool - they are looking at him too," he told the Daily Mail.
"Normally he would stay for another year, but nobody could say no to clubs like those - and Liege would not stand in his way."

Anyone seen Defour play? I've heard he's good but haven't seen him play

[-Heart]

Yeah he probably will be used as a sub/for those cups but I think he is capable of playing in the PL but either way he will be a good talent in the future.

I did read your other posts :lol:. You said that it shows you can play together well as a team against sides like Atletico and Rangers blah, blah, blah. You don't know what's going to happen in the Premiership this season. Fulham and Portsmouth could both beat you twice, you don't know that. Pre-Season is just about fitness and what not. So don't get too excited over beating those kind of teams, especially in PRE-SEASON :rolleyes:.

[Jack.Lfc]

It seems like defour is trying to get a move to liverpool.

Yeah I know that there's a chance we can still loose against them but I'm saying that beating these teams in pre-season shows we are in good form and can work well together against decent sides. Yes I know it's pre-season and that neither team was taking it as seriously as they would in the PL and it was mainly for fitness but it does help boost the moral of the team, and I'm not getting 'too excited' :$. Our problem last season was we got off to a bad start, and we lost against the so called 'lower teams'. Winning in pre-season, even though it doesn't actually mean too much will boost moral and help us beat those two problems but yes I agree with you that it is about fitness and anything can happen in the PL.

[-Heart]

boro signed leroy lita lol.
I sense that your not best pleased?

[Clowgon]

Gallium balague is the funny thing.

Wouldnt be to sure ;)

LOL. Never heard of them. :P

100 percent postive he'll turn down a move to Liverpool and join United.

Can't believe Alonso may well be going, such a great player.

Oh ye i forgot about the Stadium and ye, that's probs the reason why the board cannot afford to give the club a good transfer kitty.

Ye Jack will become a star of the future most deffo.

[Jack.Lfc]

100 percent postive he'll turn down a move to Liverpool and join United.


You are?

I'd rather get mata anyway.

[Browney]

1427 BST: Barcelona are planning a £12m move for Manchester United defender Jonny Evans.

Well, that news is "interesting." ahaha.

[Wootzeh]

No British player should ever move away from English football.

[Jack.Lfc]

I wouldnt mind a cheeky bid for fabregas.

[Clowgon]

You are?

I'd rather get mata anyway.

Haven't seen him play in rlf. Thou he's amazing on CM Scored loads of goals for me. :P


1427 BST: Barcelona are planning a £12m move for Manchester United defender Jonny Evans.

Well, that news is "interesting." ahaha.

LOL. Jonny is a good player, a few mistakes last season but he's good, he'll be way up there in a few seasons.

Anway, Barcelona wasted paper on their fax machine.

[CHA!NGANG]

No British player should ever move away from English football.

Agreed


I wouldnt mind a cheeky bid for fabregas.

lol never going to happen. The only place I can see him moving too ever is Barca in the future, but even that I can't see happening for at least 4/5 seasons if ever.

[CHA!NGANG]

£30 Million agreed with Liverpool for Alonso, may include a mix of money and players.

[Jack.Lfc]

Expect villa or silva.

[CHA!NGANG]

Well, Madrid are looking to offload: Salgado, M. Diarra, Van der Vaart, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Huntelaar. I think so you might get 1 of them along with some money or just the £30 Mill.
Do you recon any of them would suit and fit into Liverpool?

[Jack.Lfc]

Its a 34mil straight deal, i would have took that negrado and 25 mil.

[Andys]

I reckon we should put in a cheeky 15m bid for Jonny Evans like.

[Clowgon]

Sunderland, hmm i wouldn't be surprise if United let him go and include a clause in the deal where we have option of buying him back. Get him back in like 2 years or so. Now that Wes Brown is back. Hmm.

[CHA!NGANG]

Its a 34mil straight deal, i would have took that negrado and 25 mil.

Ah kk. £34 mill is a good deal for liverpool. This Madrid team is shaping up nicely.

I'd play a 4-5-1 with:

Casillas (GK)
Ramos (RB)
Pepe (CB)
Albiol (CB)
Marcelo (LB)
Alonso (CM)
Ronaldo (RW)
Kaka (RAM)
Sneijder (LAM)
Robben (LW)
Raul or Benzema (CF)

or a 4-4-2 with:

Casillas (GK)
Ramos (RB)
Pepe (CB)
Albiol (CB)
Marcelo (LB)
Alonso (CDM/CM)
Ronaldo (RW)
Kaka (CAM)
Robben (LW)
Raul (LF)
Benzema (RS)

and on the bench they will have:

Dudek (GK)
Metzelder (CB)
Garay (CB)
Gago (CDM)
L. Diarra (CM)
Guti (CAM)
Drenthe (LW/RW)
Higuain (CF)
Negredo (S)

That's given that they sell those 5 players above.

Sorry for long post.

EDIT: They could do with a new LB though, as Marcelo is probably there weakest link, but he is still a good defender and has a lot of talent, and is still only 21.

[Jack.Lfc]

You're missing arbeloa ;)

[Andys]

Al-Muhammadi tipped for Sunderland

CAIRO: Sunderland are keen to sign Egypt winger Ahmed Al-Muhammadi from ENPPI, the player's agent Nader Shawki revealed.

"Al-Muhammadi had a successful trial with Sunderland on the weekend and manager Steve Bruce was impressed," Shawki told Modern Sport TV.

"Negotiations between Sunderland and ENPPI should be concluded in the next few days."

Al-Muhammadi was strongly linked with a move to Blackburn in the winter break, but Paul Ince's departure from Ewood Park hindered the deal.

The 22-year-old played well in ENPPI's 4-3 defeat to ES Setif in the CAF Confederation Cup on Sunday, scoring a goal and setting up another.

http://www.thedailynewsegypt.com/art...rticleID=23573 (http://www.thedailynewsegypt.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=23573)

Meant to be the "Beckham" or "Ronaldo" of the middle east.

[CHA!NGANG]

You're missing arbeloa ;)

Ahh yeah sorry forgot about him. Does he play RB or LB?

[Browney]

Sunderland, hmm i wouldn't be surprise if United let him go and include a clause in the deal where we have option of buying him back. Get him back in like 2 years or so. Now that Wes Brown is back. Hmm.

We've had him on loan once. He was pretty good actually. You can loan him back to us again if you like. xoxo

And that Beckham of Middle East made me chuckle for some reason. But hey, he'll probably be better than Edwards.

*EDIT*

[lBlue]

lol never going to happen. The only place I can see him moving too ever is Barca in the future, but even that I can't see happening for at least 4/5 seasons if ever.

Wouldn't take your word for anything...


Which Toure? Yaya or kolo? Kolo wont go to City, end of. Yaya is an amazing player and might not get first team football so maybe. Plus they need money for ibra.

Gah, must be a touchy topic for Arsenal fans. :(

[CHA!NGANG]

Again, replied to the other thread. We've already replaced Toure with Vermalaen and have Eduardo to replace Adebayor, who I didn't rate that much anyway so no not really. Yes Toure is a bit of a loss as he was a good player and a good leader but oh well, he's gone and for a decent fee too.

I really think you have no clue about football.

Replace Adebayor, a 6"3 striker with Eduardo... a 5"10 striker. Do you not believe Wenger will opt for for Bendter, a 6"4? That's why I believe I heard when he was on SSN a few weeks back. :eusa_whis

[Geraint]

My Real Madrid team for next would line up like this.

GK: Casillas
RB: Arbeloa/Ramos
CB: Albiol
CB: Metzelder
LB: Arbeloa/Ramos
CDM: Diarra
CDM: Alonso
RM: Ronaldo
CAM: Kaka
LM: Higuain
ST: Benzema


Same formation as Liverpool. Don't think I've missed anyone. :)

[Jack.Lfc]

Am fully decided i want aguero now, before he joined athletico he said:

ndependiente's Argentine teenage sensation Sergio Aguero says he would prefer to join his boyhood club and Champions League holders Liverpool rather than German champions Bayern Munich.

Last week Bayern confirmed their interest in the 17-year-old Aguero, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or a striker, but the Argentine talent is holding out for a move to English side Liverpool.

"If I had to choose a league then it would be the Premier League," Aguero is quoted as saying in the Munich TZ newspaper.

"I have been a Liverpool fan for as long as I can remember and it would be a dream to play there.

"I watched the Champions League final and celebrated every goal as if it was for Independiente."

Thats not the point.

[Clowgon]

LOL, I don't Liverpool would be able to afford him.. Hasn't he got like a £50 Million release clause in his contract or something.

I think United was going to offer £30 - 35 mill for him plus Berba.

[Browney]

Liverpool just sold/will sell Alonso for 30mil and they can make up the rest.

[Skajo]

£45m.

Means United value Berba at 10m:eusa_clap

[Clowgon]

No. If he's got a release clause in his contract for 50 mill, then United obviously value Berba at 15 - 20 mill....

[Jibbish]

Well seen as no one has posted;


Aston Villa have completed the signing of Fabian Delph from Leeds United for an undisclosed fee.
The England Under 21 international has produced some sparkling performances for Leeds in recent years and is regarded as an exciting prospect for the future.
A number of Premier League clubs were interested in securing his services and Manchester City appeared to be leading the chase over the weekend when Mark Hughes spoke about his admiration for the player.
However, Villa quickly moved ahead of their rivals and have now finalised a transfer after Delph (http://topics.skysports.com/Fabian+Delph/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif underwent a medical and agreed personal terms.
Details of the deal have not been revealed but it is believed the fee could be worth up to £8million with add-ons.
Martin O'Neill has a reputation for bringing through youngsters and Delph will be hoping he can also make an impact in the Premier League.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11677_5473679,00.html


Not quite sure on this kid, spent £6 million + add ons for a league 1 player :|

[Clowgon]

I think he'll be a great signing.

I admire Martin, great manager, always bringing in English players who are always good.

A replacement for fergie me thinks.

[Skajo]

Aguero's release fee is £45.5m.

If Fergie was going to offer £35m and Berbatov as you said, that means Fergie values Berbatov as £10.5m as simple maths equates that £45.5m takeaway £35m equals £10.5m

[CHA!NGANG]

Aguero's release fee is £45.5m.

If Fergie was going to offer £35m and Berbatov as you said, that means Fergie values Berbatov as £10.5m as simple maths equates that £45.5m takeaway £35m equals £10.5m

According to SSN, AM won't sell him unless it's an offer of over £50 Million or more. £35 Million cash and Berbatov would value him in excess of £15 Million.

[Jack.Lfc]

Aguero's release fee is £45.5m.

If Fergie was going to offer £35m and Berbatov as you said, that means Fergie values Berbatov as £10.5m as simple maths equates that £45.5m takeaway £35m equals £10.5m

its 55 his release fee.

[Geraint]

I love how they rate Aguero higher than Torres and Torres is much better.

[Browney]

It shows what crap SSN put out there. If his release clause is 45.5mil, United can just pay that and get him.

In a sale, the club that possesses the player agrees a deal with the players suitor to sell them for a price. However, in the player's contract will be a release fee. This means if the player's suitor can pay the fee, only the player and the suitor need to agree. So basically, if United pay the 45m for him, AM cannot stand in his way. which is why Barca have just renegotiated Messi's contract to contain a 200m release fee, to put im out of limits for every club on the planet really.

[CHA!NGANG]

I love how they rate Aguero higher than Torres and Torres is much better.

Aguero is 5 years younger and is tipped to become one of the best players in the world when he peaks which is still not for another 5 years, and Torres is in his peak now hence why at the moment he is better. That along with the inflated market means he is currently worth more than Torres yes, even if at the moment he is not as good of a player.

EDIT: As for post above, His release fee is more than £45 Mill I think, and also if they want to offer £45 Million cash or w/e his release fee is then yes, AM Have to sell him depending on if Aguero wants to leave or not. However, they haven't offered this, they have offered £35 Million cash apparently, and even if they offer that and Berbatov they don't have to sell as they might value Berbatov as worthless to them even though he isn't. Release fee only works with cash, otherwise it is void.

[Jack.Lfc]

Aguero seems a bit light weight to me, still i'd have him.

I did say if his fee is 45m because I only really think two parties know, Aguero and his club. And like I said, if United pay the 45m. ;)

Ah fair enough. I don't think United will pay it, well not this season anyway but I suppose they have the cash so who knows. I think Berbatov is worth more than 10 mill anyway, even if he has been off form.

Barcalona should have bought Aguero in my opinion instead of Ibra, they can afford it and I'm sure AM would have accepted £35 Million cash and eto'o. Aguero and Messi in attack for Barca would have been an amazing partnership and Barca would have been able to bring out the best in him.

Ibra is a risk, he is an amazing player no doubt, but he has a good chance of flopping in Spain, only time will tell.

[Jack.Lfc]

HIS FEE IS 55.

:D

[Skajo]

its 55 his release fee.
45 million British pounds = 53.1332083 million Euros

[Geraint]

Yeah, I think it's £45m too.

[Jack.Lfc]

kk lol ,my bad

[Jack.Lfc]

Looks like valencia are in a mess again and are going to be forced to sell villa, silva, mata etc.

[CHA!NGANG]

Liverpool have agreed a fee with Roma for Alberto Aquilani. I rate him very highly and it is a very good buy for Liverpool.

[Jack.Lfc]

Talismanic for Roma, I'll tell you if it's a good signing when I see the fee.

[Jack.Lfc]

Around 18 mil. Should have around 22 mil left.

[CHA!NGANG]

Talismanic for Roma, I'll tell you if it's a good signing when I see the fee.

Ah true depends on the fee but still he is a very good player. I'd say a fee of between £15 - £20 Million is a fair fee but it's hard to tell with the market the way it is.

EDIT: Just read post above, yeah £18 Mill is a good price.

[Jack.Lfc]

His girlfriends fit, thats good enough for me.

[Skajo]

£18m is too much. He won't justify that - should've put a cheeky £12m for Sneijder or better still, the full £18m for Marek Hamsik (L).

[Jack.Lfc]

Yeh it is to much. But 80mil for ronaldo was to much. 30 for alonso.

He's either going to be good or a total flop.

Good to see we have acted quick since Alonso has gone tho.

[Skajo]

I'm not doubting his skill, just the price ;)

[Skajo]

[CHA!NGANG]

£18m is too much. He won't justify that - should've put a cheeky £12m for Sneijder or better still, the full £18m for Marek Hamsik (L).

Madrid president said Sneijder isn't for sale and will play a big part in his future plans. But M. Diarra is and V.D.Vaart and they would have suited nicely too but I think that Aquilani will do well or flop as Jack said, but I'm backing him to shine. £18 Mill last season I would have said is too much, but this season it's hard to tell how much a player will go for but it's a decent price considering the market.

[Jack.Lfc]

If we sign one more player, ill be happy.

[Skajo]

lmao Diarra. He's terrible.

[CHA!NGANG]

Meh, I don't rate him that much but he's not that bad when he's on form and probably would have been cheap.

[Andys]

Bent signed for 10m.

[CHA!NGANG]

If we sign one more player, ill be happy.

What is your strongest First XI atm?

I'd say:

Reina (GK)
Johnson (RB)
Carragher (CB)
Agger (CB)
N/A (LB)
Mascherano (CDM)
Gerrard (RCM)
Aquilani (LCM) (Given the deal goes through)
N/A (RW)
Kuyt (LW)
Torres (S)

Then on the bench have:

Cavalieri (GK)
Aurelio (CB)
Dossena (CB)
Riera (M)
Benayoun (CAM)
Babel (LW)
Voronin (S)

Sorry if I missed out somepeople or got positions mixed up.

Who would play LB and RW for you then? I think they should but a new RW or a new LB, or even buy Silva and then put him on the left and Kuyt on the right.

[Skajo]

Dossena is a LB
Benayoun is RM
Auerlio is LB

[CHA!NGANG]

Dossena is a LB
Benayoun is RM
Auerlio is LB

Ahright, well in that case they don't really need to buy anyone urgently, got a decent team there.

[Shoovers]

Just seen this on Wikipedia:

Alberto Aquilani (7 July 1984) is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A side Liverpool F.C. and the Italy national football team

I'd say our strongest team is

Gk: Reina
Rb: Johnson
Cb: Carra
Cb: Agger/Skrtel
Lb: Aurelio
Cm: Mascherano
Cm: Aquilani
Rw: Kuyt
Am: Gerrard
Lw: Babel (If he plays at the level he can)
Cf: Torres

[Skajo]

Yeah, because Wikipedia is the most reliable source ever. It's not like I can go and edit his club to Doncaster Rovers :rolleyes:

[Jack.Lfc]

because Aquilani for Alonso is a like-for-like signing and the formation Liverpool used last season worked.

[StefanWolves]

but silva being spanish and what not, i thought benitez would have gone for him.

i rate silva highly anyway.

Dont be suprised if we bid for him at the last minute ;)

Wolves are set to complete the season log loan signing of Mancienne today, thank god, and I also read somewhere that we're in for Stephen McManus....... please no.

[Andys]

Cattermole set to sign for 10m. Bit pricey, but we've got money ;)

[Rock]

Sorry if posted already but Bayern in for Bosingwa AGAIN

[StefanWolves]

Why Chelsea are willing to even negotiate selling Boswinga is beyond me.

6m rising to 8 ;)

[GordonBanks]

wish stoke would hurry up and sign someone

[StefanWolves]

Banned again? Wootzeh?

And Jack what you on about? Boswinga was one of the best defenders in the League last season.

[Skajo]

In order to solve our attacking problems, even though we have about 6 strikers - most of which couldn't score if the ball was on the line... Shiels! We need a behind-doors friendly though to have a look at him, hopefully he's alright.
