2011 Summer transfer ins and outs and rumours

[Will]

I thought I'd start a thread for summer tansfers and rumours, since that's all most teams have to look forward to now.

Hopefully we'll finally get rid of Bendtner, Denilson, Rosicky and Almunia, and I wouldn't mind if we sold Squillaci (who's shit, but new), Chamakh, Vela, maybe Clichy...

Bring in Young, Parker, van Bommel, Samba, Jaaskalainen and a top striker or two. I'd settle for Bellamy and Keane, but I'd love Ibrahimovic, Eto'o et al. The prices I've heard for them two is surprisingly cheap, if Fabregas goes we should tr and make Ibra nd Mascherano part ofthe deal, maybe even try for Xavi or Iniesta... And I'd love it if we poached Thiago! That'd be well funny. I think he's waiting to see if Cesc goes there, in which case he'll be off...

Hopefully we'll get him either way. Hazard might be nice too, but I want all our money to go on experience and leadership, not yet more prospects. I wouldn't mind seeing the back of Wenger, I could see him buying yet more French (speaking) rubbish and potentials when we should have won stuff years ago already, and failing to address aour failings at set pieces or lack of leadership or mettle in any way.

Last I heard we'd conceded the most goals from set pieces and the fewest from open play, which helps explain why we lost 3-1 away to both Stoke and Barcelona, when one's much better than the other.

[Will]

Assuming Wenger doesn't change his transfer policy, I could see us finishing 5th or 6th next season, I could easily see Spurs and Liverpool picking up an extra 10 points or more, with City and Chelsea improving too. In fact if we start next season the way we've ended this one I could see Wenger getting sacked before Christmas, what with a probable CL qualifier to get CL football and money, if we lose that, then collapse like we did after the CC Final he's gone. And we could draw Bayern Munich et al in the qualifier, who have a good record againt us etc.

[BloodStar]

hmm, as a united fan, i will be happy if sir alex signs neuer, riberry and hulk.

but that very likely won't happen, then any decent midfielder to substitute paul scholes would be good + goalkeeper, indeed....

[Numeric]

i'd like pastore from palermo and sneijder from inter please

we need a keeper too, maybe de gea from athletico but not sure if he's good enough

[BloodStar]

steklenburg is pretty goo, tho. for case if they fail to sign neuer...

[Will]

Who do you see leaving, is Scholes retiring yet? And how much longer can Giggs carry on?

I suspect the major signing will be a new keeper, then maybe a couple of younger players for £8m tops.

[Numeric]

is steklenburg the guy who dropped the cup? :laughing2:

i thought neuer has signed for bayern?

we need a midfielder more than anything, we're still prone to being over run in midfield by strong teams although carrick and giggs are good together

not sure if scholes is going to stay on for another season, his passing is incredible though

giggs should be good for another season at least, not sure how long he can keep playing to such a high standard tbh

i heard a rumour that owen was down at st mary's last week

[Will]

Isn't Owen out of contract yet? I'd got the impression he was with people talking about him leaving. It'd be funny if he ended up at Southampton, though I can't quite see it. Did he play enough games to get a winners medal? Didn't seem like he played 10 games...

Yeah, he got a medal. Played 11 league games. The cut off is 10, but the club always get 2 or 3 spares for players who have contributed greatly, but not played enough games, to hand out at their own discretion.
Valencia being a perfect example this season. Only played 9 games, but still gets a medal.
Which I think is right, because I'm not sure we'd have made it past the finish line, had he not come back when he did.

As far as I know, Owen is still under contract.

[Microdot]

Couple of rumours I heard today.

Drogba and Fabregas to City.

Both sound quite likely to me.

Can't see Drogba wanting to play second fiddle to an inferior player at the rent boys next season, so I reckon he'll be off for sure.

[Jake Conlon]

I can see Villa loosing a more players. We have had the same small squad problem for bloody ages now! :yell:

[djfase]

The utd de gea transfer is apparently done.

Ashley young very close aswell

[basslinejunkie]

i hope we get young.hes developed nicely this season and is exactly what we need.

[basslinejunkie]

ive also heard that we will only be making 2 quality signings this year, which is far better than plenty of mediocre signings that we have been used to over the years.

Your lot need to get rid of Gerrard imo. Doesn't seem to perform unless the team is built around him (as his England performances demonstrate) and isn't good enough to build a whole team around.
Looks like Dalglish has realised this too.

[Will]

Wenger's been talking up the possibility of signing Benzema, it'd be great if this happens, but it could be a case of misdirection, City or Chelsea will probably be in for him now.

It reminds me of when United said they bid for him, 6 months after he joined Real, so seemed like a cheap stunt to appease fans, could be the same thing here.

Him and Hazard are about the only French speaking players I'd want, and we've been linked with them both, I'd be pretty happy if we signed them both, but I won't hold my breath.

[Microdot]

Latest rumour I've heard is Nasri to United.

Would be a good signing for the Champions as United desperately need a playmaker.
He started the season as one of the best in the league, but dropped off pretty heavily.

Hes defo on the slide. getting injured much more often and when he does play is nowhere near as influencial. id still much rather have him then not tho.

He's a good player, but sometimes teams need to move on to progress.

[Will]

Thinking about it, Arsenal have the quality, a few shite players aside, we had the quality to win the league and the CL, but the CC final sums Arsenal up - Birmingham got relegated and we had the quality to see off Barca and win the league etc, but it doesn't matter how good this current team becomes, they'll always manage to throw away good positions once the pressure's on.

So in that respect, we don't really need multiple world class players, we just need some ****ing leadership and professionalism. If we had the mental strength of United, and maybe some of their physical strength we'd be almost unstoppable, like in the days of the Invincibles, only able to do it for more than one season.

Also, we've got several young players who might be what we need, such as Bartley in defence, Frimpong as a holding midfielder (this was supposed to be his season, a la Wilshere, but he missed it through injury), JET up front and Miyaichi on the wing, which is all the positions we need to strengthen... Though we need to bring in some leadership and experience more thaan anything.

Ideally we should be signing both a Tony Adams type AND a Roy Keane type, to be captain and vice captain, plus someone who can do a job when van Persie's not fully fit, that's all we need, though Hazard on top would be nice perhaps.

[Microdot]

No you don't.
Arsenal are fcuking miles away from being good enough to win either the League or the European Cup.

The way City, Chelsea and the Scouse are gearing up, Arsenal might struggle to make the top 4 next season.

Another way of looking at it would be that if Barcelona had taken a couple more of their countless chances, the tie would have been over by half time of the first leg..

We are as an overall package perhaps, but it's not the quality that's lacking, we were neck and neck with United near the end with chances to go top until the pressure started to tell.

In the last 6 games only Bolton and West Ham had worse form - and Bolton beat us in those games. We dropped points in games we should have won easily, that's what cost us - our form was terrible yet we still beat United - our only win. If we'd beaten Sunderland, Villa at home, Bolton, Stoke and Fulham away we'd have won the league, and that's just in the last 6 games and only a massive idiot would deny we had the quality to win those games.

And that's just the last 6 games, our lack of mental strength was costing us a lot sooner than that - it was nothing to do with quality, only a muppet couldn't see that. If we had the mental strength of the 01/02 team who won 15 games in a row we'd have won the league easily.

[Will]

Well done on completely missing my point, I said this team will never win anything as it is - BUT it's not due to a lack of quality.

Plus of course an unfit Fabregas set Barca on their way with a stupid back heel when we were looking as comfortable as you could hope for against Barca at the Nou Camp.

He certainly dropped off badly, one of the biggest disappointments in that regard, there's no way Arsenal would sell him to United though, in a sane world at least...

btw you said that turkish league was one of the worst leagues in europe. you didn't mention anything about top five european leagues and i didn't say anything about the turkish league being a top five league.

there are many leagues in europe mate, the turkish league is definitely in my mind in the better half that is all.

going from bolton to galatasaray is an upgrade trust me.

secondly there is no denying that the english league is one of the best if not the best in the world.

i never said that it wasn't. it is whtere the billionaires buy a team to use it as their show-pony nonetheless.

Nasri flashing his arse at United:-

Samir Nasri refuses to rule out a switch to Manchester United | Football | guardian.co.uk (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jun/05/samir-nasri-arsenal-football)

Samir Nasri has risked fracturing his relationship with Arsène Wenger by casting doubt over his readiness to sign a new contract at Arsenal this summer, with the France international suggesting he is also keen to discover whether Manchester United's interest in him is "concrete".

Wenger conceded last week that negotiations between the club and the player, a £15.8m signing from Marseille in the summer of 2008, are currently at an impasse over the financial terms on offer. Nasri is entering the final year of his contract at the Emirates Stadium and with three years of Premier League experience behind him, would be an attractive addition to United's option. Speculation that the champions would lodge a bid has been fanned by Patrice Evra urging the attacking midfielder to move to Old Trafford.

That prompted Wenger to say last week: "One thing's for sure, we're not selling him to Manchester United." Yet Nasri himself, when interviewed on TF1's Telefoot, appeared more open to the prospect. "Let's find out if their interest is true first, and then we'll talk about it," he said.

"I don't know if I will sign a new contract. Anyway, the discussions are on-going. For the moment, I don't want to think about this. We will speak about it after the match with Poland [on Tuesday]. Do I want to go to United? We should see if their interest is real and if it is concrete first."

Arsenal, who have Gaël Clichy in a similar position, had hoped to secure Nasri on a new five-year deal worth around £90,000 a week. Both players' contracts expire in the summer of 2012 and Wenger is unwilling to allow them to leave for nothing under the Bosman ruling, as Mathieu Flamini did for Milan three years ago.

Nasri played in France's 1-1 draw in Belarus on Friday and is expected to feature in Tuesday's friendly in Poland; talks will resume upon his return. Yet if no agreement is reached, the 23-year-old is likely to be available for around £10m, a figure well within his suitors' reach.

As far as I know, United actually haven't expressed any interest.

As far as being the right player, I think he's quality and is more than capable of playing central midfield.
I rate him more highly than Modric and, with his contract running out soon, would cost United way less money.

i would prefer someone else,more creative/attacking midfielder... but yeah, i got you point, as united need 2 midfielders for sure,. 1 defensive, 1 attacking...

i would be for 2 attacking, 1 of them creative...

[Will]

United have lost Scholes and VDS, so they need to replace them, I hear Brown may be going, but they wouldn't really need to replace him. They have the numbers, so they'd have to offload someone to bring someone in, they're not5 offloading a striker and I can't see them offloading a winger, looks like it'll be a midfielder and a keeper, plus maybe a few young prospects.

So maybe De Gea and Young, or possibly Sneijder, if you're lucky.

I heard it was a £50m swap deal involving Thiago and Fabregas, and Thiago's rated at £7m, so him plus £43m, if it's true... He's very highly rated, so if we made it him plus Mascherano and Ibrahimovic then it'd be a pretty good deal perhaps... Though it would be 3 Barca rejects for 1 player they actually want, but hey.

Martin Jol should become new Fulham manager on 2-years deal.

Ibrahimovic would love it in the premiership imo.

If Arsenal got him, I reckon it'd be a good move for both of them.

[blistanbul]

Ibrahimovic is a vastly overrated player and would be an awful signing for Arsenal.

Furthermore when is Arsenal going to act like top teams and stop sending their top players to other clubs?

It seems like we have been in the rebuilding stage since Pires/Bergkamp/Henry era.

If the current owners can't leave an open cheque-book then maybe it is time to sell the team.

Btw Park for United sucks, and Carrick is only good for the English season but doesn't have what it takes to succeed in the European stage.

The Blues have stolen a march on Manchester United in the battle to bring Inter Milan midfielder Wesley Sneijder to the Premier League. Stamford Bridge officials are set to hold talks with Inter over a £30m deal, with Sneijder and his wife more keen on a move to London than Manchester.

tbh, if sir alex signs nasri, a. young and diarra, i dont care about sneijder.

[Microdot]

Today's rumours......

Sneijder to United is still on.
Ashley Young to United is imminent.
Nasri to United is gaining momentum. And City are apparently sniffing round too.
Drogba has handed in a transfer request at Chelsea. Spurs look a likely destination.

Can't see Nasri going United but, if it did happen, it'd be a good move for him and United.....

Pretty sure Young to United is a nailed on cert....

Sneijder is obviously playing United and Chelsea (and prob. City too) off each other to get the best deal. I imagine he already knows which club he wants to play for, but is using the interest from the other(s) to get the best deal he can.

If Chelsea are willing to let Drogba go to another English club, surely Arsenal should be in for him.
Would be perfect for them, not just because he's a fantastic footballer, but because of his winning mentality.

Drogba is just the sort of player Arsenal need, though he can't have too many good years ahead of him, though I think he'd also be good for United if they want the CL, I think he's the sort of striker who'd give them problems and could bully their back 4 without much support. With him and Sneijder United would stand a better chance of hurting Barca... Though I'd rather see them both at Arsenal of course, or at least a player like Drogba. We haven't really got anyone to fill in for Fabregas at the moment, nevermind if he left.

I wouldn't be too bothered if Nasri left after his comments, and running your contract down never looks good, but I'd rather he didn't go to United, although it'd be interesting to see how he'd get on and I want the Prem to keep its best players and sign more top players besides. Hopefully Sneijder will come, maybe to Chelsea.

Fergie has said they'll sign a couple of players, maybe three by the way (before Jones), so him, plus replacements for VDS and Scholes by the looks of it, maybe another young player if someone comes up. I think Giggs can replace Scholes in the short term, so replacing Giggs on the left with Young is what you'd expect from Fergie.

How I wish the U 21's were on Freeview...

heads are sayin that united are now close to signing nasri and young

this is all good but ffs where's the combative midfielders? :rutear:

Blackburn Rovers defender Phil Jones may have failed his Manchester United medical putting his proposed £16million move to Old Trafford in doubt.

Manchester City have emerged as the favorites to sign Bolton defender Gary Cahill, who has been linked with Arsenal.

Spurs will demand Asamoah Gyan as part of any deal when Sunderland bid for Peter Crouch, who is their leading attacking target this summer.

Ashley Young is poised to complete his transfer to Manchester United before the weekend, when he gets married.

[Burningherb]

Sneijder is happy to stay at inter

Keane been linked with a move to Fulham

Barca are said to only have a budget of 41 million euros and the likes of bojan and jeffran are expected to be on the market

Any word of a possible replacment for VDS or is De Gea still the main target? but said that he wont hold talks with either utd or athletico till the under 21s are over

Faddy to Celtic

[Numeric]

i heard sneijder has said that he's staying at inter but many players have said similiar things, only to move a few weeks later, so you never know

not sure what's going on with de gea, thought it was a done deal

Manchester United are reportedly ready to offer winger Nani in part exchange for Inter Milan playmaker Wesley Sneijder.

[Numeric]

as long as we get young i'm happy for nani to go, he's too much of a pussy

plus if we were to get nasri then that would be more than enough cover for the flanks

[basslinejunkie]

swapping nani for young would be a step backwards. nani is class.

[Microdot]

swapping nani for young would be a step backwards. nani is class.

Agreed.

Ashley Young's not ready to lace Nani's boots for him.

[Will]

There'd been talk that Arsenal were going to sign Samba AND Cahill, and Gervinho AND Hazard, which would have been a good start, I wish teams would hurry up and sign people! I'm expecting this to be a pivotal transfer window for all the top teams, they had a short window where they could sign people without it affecting the Uefa fair play rules coming in, I think that window might be over now though, I'm not sure.

Sneijder seemed to just say he was happy at Inter, not that he's definitely not coming, he ought to come to the Prem. Personally, I think swapping Nasri for Nani wouldn't be so bad! I don't think it'll happen though. There's a few decent players either out of contract or with just a year left, it's a shame 2 of them are Arsenal players, as usual, but still. We need to sell them when they're down to 2 years if they won't re-sign.

Bellamy's meant to be only £4m, bargain, Robbie Keane wouldn't cost much either, both proven Prem strikers.

valencia, sneijder, nasri, a. young midfield looks class. nani can go, as i think he will desparately fight for better cotnract, which i guess he won't receive...

still, big respect for the job he's done for united...

Manchester United have refused to allow Blackburn Rovers to drive up the price for centre-half Phil Jones and, despite a late attempt by Liverpool to capitalise on the chaos surrounding the player’s transfer, confirmation of the £16.5m deal is expected imminently.

The German international is known to be a player that Sir Alex Ferguson admires greatly and Spanish newspaper Marca has reported that the Old Trafford boss has approached the midfielder’s agent about a possible move to the Premier League champions

[BloodStar]

Finally, David De Gea signed five years deal for United. nice one.

[Will]

I heard a rumour Man U bid 12m plus Berba for Nasri, seems hard to believe though, that'd be pretty generous I'd say. Also Real bid 45m plus Benzema for Cesc... Personally I'd be tempted to accept both offers, but we'd probably get £55m with no players coming the other way at best knowing how incompetent we are.

God knows why we sold Clichy to City for £7m when we could have got that from Roma or Liverpool probably. There's rumours we won't sell Nasri to a prem team, but we sold Clichy, Toure and Adebayor to City, so I don't see why we'd be different with him.

Ironically Clichy said 2 years ago only money grabbers would join City. Oh, and I've heard we've got £127m in the bank, but we're rumoured to have £30-40m to spend, we must have the worst board and majority share holder in the world. If we cell Cesc and Nasri I wouldn't be surprised if we make a profit AND keep the shite that's not fit to wear the shirt instead of promoting promising youth players.

[Will]

Robbie Keane is nowhere near good enough to play for Arsenal.

He's better than Bendtner I'd say, he's got a decent first touch for a start.

[Will]

According to an Inter fan United are definitely getting Sneijder, they've just signed Alvarez, possibly as a replacement. I think I'd rather Nasri went to Man U and we signed Sneijder, but still, I don't know why he seems so sure, maybe he's wrong.

sir alex has apparently rubbished talk of sneijder agreeing terms

could be a ruse though
