Summer Transfer Window

[Rock]

Yes but Torres won't leave Anfield because he is so loved there and can gain no advantage by leaving for City FOR NEXT SEASON because they aren't in the Champions League either.

He would gain an advantage by joining a team like Chelsea perhaps.

[CHA!NGANG]

Any player with common sense would join City. It's obvious they're going to be challenging for the title next season, and are very likely to get into the CL. Plus the huge wage package.

It's a no brainer for most players, If I were a pro I know I'd join City. :/

Well it depends though. If you know you aren't going to get constant football there's no point. Take Adebayor. There's talk now of him going on loan or leaving the club after 1 season to make way for new players. Same goes for Lescott and Bridge and several other players.

Before the new rules come in, City have to sell 12 players and i'd happily take Kompany, De Jong, Richards.

[Geraint]

When do the 25 man squads get announced, do we know? Because once City put Ireland/Onouha/Michael Johnson in the reserves there's going to be an absolute cluster****.

Have to be submitted by September 1st so a day after the transfer window shuts.

Liverpool have done brilliantly this transfer window.

[JackBuddy]

Been on holiday, Joe Cole was wrong when he said his move would be 'for footballing reasons'. He still wanted to join us, stay in London and work with Harry, so says Harry even after he signed for Liverpool. Initially Arsenal offered a 2 year contract worth £80 a week, Spurs 3 year for £70 then Liverpool came in with £95 a week on a four year contract. Can't see him getting his wish and playing a central position at Liverpool either.

In other news, Spurs are discussing financials with V Bremen re: Ozil (from a reliable itk). Not sure I can see him wanting to join us though. United are supposedly favourites. Suarez has signalled his intent at joining Spurs/Man U but silly money is apparently being quoted. If we don't get him Turan is a possibility. Ajax have bought Mido and another striker which could signal his departure. Huntelaar -> Liverpool is also apparently being discussed.

Also trying to get Young from Villa, but depends on the Milner situation. Jenas, Keane and/or Bentley could be involved in the transfer too. City pulled out of the Richards deal too just as everything was agreed.
