Summer Transfers 2014

[kalasoma]

How much was that Ricardo Rodriguez being quoted for and were Wolfsburg looking to sell? More importantly, have Spurs made a late bid?

[magicrat]

Not that much between Ben Davis and Luke Shaw for me, albeit a year or two in age.

and about 20 million quid

No, but if you believe the papers Utd are looking at him.

[xerxes]

I suspect that when Suarez goes, Brendan will sign Bony from Swansea too.

[kalasoma]

Ok. If Utd are trying to get Rodriguez, we should definitely make a bid for Pogba. Sakho should have a word.

[Tyler Durden]

Does anyone think that by signing the players we have and the likes of Bony/Davies again from a club that finished a lot lower then us then this will help us finish higher in the league or fight for the same position?

 

By selling Suarez we are seriously weakening the first team but the signings we are/have made only seem to strengthen the squad, if we don't replace Suarez with at least 1 top level player then I think we are weaker.

 

He directly contributed to almost half our goals scored as a team, he will leave a massive hole so I hope the manager and owners realise that.

[stringvest]

We bought some of our best players from Scunthorpe, Chester, Middlesborough, Watford...  If they are good enough, I don't care where they come from.

I think Ben Davies would be a good signing. And why would the Mancs be looking at Rodriguez when they have spent a fortune on Shaw?

[El Dangerous]

Presumably the Mancs are after James.

Ah, well that makes more sense. Well we should be all over that too. Even if he's bound to be off to one of the la liga giants in a few years.

As I said Paper talk.  Though Evra's off to Juve and Shaw can play anywhere on the left.

I'm sure Brendan and FSG have no idea how important Suarez is.  Most of us certainly have no idea either.

Anything else that's patently fucking obvious you care to point out today ?

[Frankenhooker]

No, they really are after Ricardo. Obviously Evra is finally fucking off, but if they sign R.Rodriguez that'll be £50m on left backs.

Stop posting sensible and incredibly accurate posts like that.

This. Our lads dey come from all over the place. Dey talk dead funny but they play dead great.

Sorry here is me thinking this is a fucking football forum you fucking maggot

That was a very long time ago and in a completely different era that has no bearing whatsoever on the modern game.

So buying from Middlesborough and Watford is not the equivalent of buying from Southampton, Swansea and Sunderland? 

[DanDanShaw]

Markovic's agent has said he's turned down an approach from Chelsea.  I'm guessing he wants to further his career here, instead of ruining it there.

I think someone on here said he was a Chelsea fan. If this is true that's twice he's fucked them off, some fan that.

[stringvest]

Yes it was, and yes it does.  Unless you want us to buy nothing but fully formed marquee players from Barcelona or Madrid, the point is still relevant.  

[Baltar]

Bony? Fucking hell. I wanted Sanchez and/or Shaqiri. What happened to them two? Fuck sake, get us a signing that we can get a little excited about. 

[Frankenhooker]

Or he's intelligent enough to realise Chelsea ruin more careers than they create.

[The Bugged Out]

I just don't understand why people keep mentioning Sanchez when he clearly didn't want to play for us.
