Summer 2013 Transfer Thread

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I'm an eternal optimist but I'm telling you now if you actually think we have the Raul Moatest chance of signing Juan Mata you need to go and have a serious lie down.

[Jairzinho]

 

Do you even lift?

[dennis tooth]

It wasn't long at all.

 

You're only as good as your last season Im afraid, if we had a solid top manager we might have been in with a chance, if he'd be willing to do so. We dont however and it's hard to convince any top player worth their salt, from the top to the bottom we are unproven, with Ian Ayres as the meat in that shit sandwich.

I do think we have a chance of signing Mata as the key difference is he is not promised to play week in week out and the WC is coming up.

Could only see him agreeing to a loan deal with us so he's got a quick get out if it all goes tits up (Dunno why thats a derogatory term I quite like tits) and doesnt have to pack his bags.

It will most likely be by default, since we arent likely to smack a bid in for him and available on loan you'd have thought a fair few foreign teams would be in for him, that said its deffo worth a shot. Jose wont let him go anywhere else in our league it seems so we should be taking advantage. By all means go in for Turan but we cant afford him and he wouldnt come and the deluded fools wont change it.

Maybe the mystery concerning Assaidi will come out someday. Pacey left winger' date=' ran at people, deft passing. Get rid of.[/quote']

 

No mystery, Kevin D spilled the beans earlier in the summer.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Okay Dennis.

[dennis tooth]

Okay Dennis.

 

Back in the real world........

Ajax have rejected an offer from Atletico Madrid for Belgium defender Toby Alderweireld, 24.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Edit: Googled it myself.

[J-V]

We've been linked with Sakho today from various (dubious) sources. But I'll take it!

 

We'd better move our arse as Milan are after him as well.

That's us cooked then.

Mata price is 27m.

 

If ever there was a post that called for the avatar of the yellow thing rolling around laughing, it's this one.

 

In the current market, where Rooney (on a 200k/week salary, no less) is rumoured to be valued at £35 million, and where Higuain/Di Maria are going for over £30 million, there is zero chance that Mata would go for less than £35 or 40 million.

 

Spurs, for one, would LOVE to splash some of the Bale money on him. I'm sure Arsenal would be chomping at the bit to actually have a chance to sign one of the league's top 3 players. There would be an absolute feeding frenzy if he were really available for anywhere near that price.

I agree £27m would be cheap for that type of player, but despite what he's said in press conferences and interviews, Mourinho certainly seem to prefer other players, which is bound to affect his value on the market.

 

I'd also agree there should be a lot of clubs lining up for him if he was available. But from Chelsea's perspective i do think they would be reluctant to strengthen a rival for top four, and certainly so a title rival. if he is shipped, my guess is it's going to be to a team abroad. However if by some miracle they should sell to a league rival id think they would prefer to sell ut us simply because we are further away from challanging them than the other teams. I know It's not gonna happen but i can dream.

[Xherdan]

If Mata signs I will get a tattoo of his name on my arse cheek.

[Lario]

If Mata is available at anything close to that £27m quoted, our transfer commitee would want to be fucked and burned if we didn't throw in a bid.

Have matches.

[Sangria]

Why the fuck do you do it to yourselves, it is never going to happen, never, ever.

[Major Tom]

Better to have loved and lost, Sangria.

[Sangria]

You have a point but the day I see Mata with a Liverpool scarf round his neck, is a day that is not going to happen.

We can but dream, no harm in that I suppose.

[Nightcat]

It would be nice from FSG's part to make such a gesture, even if he's coming on loan. Say, "Listen Liverpool fans and Brendan Rodgers, we are cunts but here is Juan Mata to help us challenge for Top 4". But it won't happen.

 

Today they've loaned out Assaidi. I'd expect one loan coming in. One in, one out. Nothing changes. meh

[Gym Beglin]

Do you think that Everton would accept a £20m bid for Ross Barkley. From us.

 

 

It would enable them to perhaps keep Fellani and Baines, so they might see it that way.

 

Sorry, but everytime I see the lad now I just think he's fucking marvellous.

[moof]

More players going out and no sign of anyone coming in. Starting to sweat now...

Someone on here the other day said he has a £10m release clause.

Yeah, but would HE accept it? Is he a die hard Evertonian?

We should get Carra to chat him up, see if he'd consider it.

 

Honestly, he's worth getting excited over.

[Tyler Durden]

Don't be daft, there is still days left yet. At the speed we move we might have them in by January.

[Horus]

Can just see how our approach for mata would play out.

 

Day 1) Brief journalists we are interested in Mata.

Days 2-5) Niet.

Day 6) Bid comes in from Team in CL

Day 7) We're looking at other targets.
