Summer Transfers 2014

[Red Banjo]

Alex Song has been told to find a new club.

 

I read somewhere the fee is around £8m. Obviously the manc cunts were immediately linked, but we should be all over this.

 

Exactly what we need.

Gives us another option, doesn't it. Can fill all three midfield positions. Would add every bit of that 8m to the squad.

For that price it'll be rude not to.

That's ridiculous. We only paid £440,000 for Kenny Dalglish.

Quality addition for £8 million, a not quite as good as Yaya Toure type of player, which is no bad thing. We're rotating 4 players for 3 midfield positions so another addition would be welcome.

I don't know why Arsenal sold Song to Barcelona when he was exactly what Arsenal needed?

[Red Banjo]

If Lallana comes for £20m

Song for £8m

Knoplyanka for £15m

 

That leaves us with about £20m for some defensive re-enforcements if the figures quoted are correct, and makes us strong in all areas with some good options from the bench for a change.

 

We do this right, and we can be in a brilliant position for next season.

[J-V]

For the same reason we sold Mascerano to Barca, he wanted to leave.

[Red Banjo]

Holger Badstuber from Bayern or the Greek lad from Schalke. Both likely to be around £10m.

 

That leaves £10m for a full back.

 

Piece of piss this transfer lark

[J-V]

Has Poppadom recovered from his latest knee injury?

[Red Banjo]

Has Poppadom recovered from his latest Knee injury?

Doesn't appear so. 4 appearances this season, totalling 80 mins. 1 start, 1 red card. Avoid.

 

Seems Howedes has fallen out of favour, lets have him instead.

[J-V]

Poppadoms injury record is atrocious.  We dodged a bullet with him. 

 

Howedes is class.

[Allan]

I'd take Goretzka and Meyer from Schalke. Their left back, Kolasinac, is worth a look too.

[The Great Jacko]

Vorm

Cole

Caulker

Song

Llanana

Kono

 

£55m

 

We should be selling £20m worth of players excluding Lucas and Agger who might possibly go. Enough for another striker and some youngsters (Patrick Roberts anyone)?

 

Would rather have a better new centre half than Caulker though.

[Fi!]

Do we really need to bring in another centre back again? We just bought in 3 last summer and 1 of them has to go out on loan for game time.

 

I know the organisation at the back is in a mess, but I feel their problem can be solved with time. It is not like they don't know what to do, but it is like no one is really know who to listen to.

[J-V]

Caulker would cause more issues then he'd sort out at the back.

[Aldonose]

James Pearce said in the echo last night that we're not interested in Konoplyanka. He reckons that we're now looking at a "higher calibre of player" due to qualification for the champions league.

[RazorBack]

Griezmann? Muniain? I'd like that..

[Aldonose]

Muniain's fucking boss. Been banging that drum for ages.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Players with contracts ending in 2015. Hmm. Some interesting names...

 

Muniain - AML - Bilbao

Kroos - CM - Bayern

Marcelo - LB - Real Madrid

Dzagoev - RM - CSKA

Doumbia - CF - CSKA

Khedira - CM - Real

Rakitic - CM - Sevilla

Pjanic - CM - Roma

Konoplyanka - LW - Dnipro

Morata - CF - Real

Ben Arfa - RW - Newcastle

Pato - CF - Sao Paulo

Zieler - GK - Hannover

Schar - CB - Basel

Doria - CB - Botafogo

I think we will be spending a lot more than £60m.

 

More like £80m.

A shit load of quality players on that list.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Are we still signing that Derby lad?

[Red Banjo]

We really should just sign Rakitic now.

 

With 12 months on his contract he shouldnt cost that much either.

 

Just get it done

[Jairzinho]

That Dzagoev done much last year or so? Haven't watched him play for a while.

 

Another vote for Carlos Vela here. 20 goals and 12 assists for Real Sociedad last season. Pacey, left footed, good technique, classy finisher. Do want.
