Summer '09 Transfer Speculation Thread

[SpeedyG]

Do you race all our transfer targets?

 

The Spanish press were seriously slating him, saying he was just a goal hanger and couldn't contribute beyond goals. Football today can't afford to carry those type of players apparently. Similar is of course being said about Michael Owen.

 

When I look at how fluid our front 4 was at the tail end of the season, I can see the point about how that type of player could end up being a hindrance.

[Unrighteous]

Huntelaar wouldn't be a bad capture if he wasn't expensive. Remember, Real bought him in January for a fair bit of dosh. He is a pretty instinctive finisher and was a target for the those cunts for a few years, before they blew a load of cash on Berbatov.

 

Football365 saying that Villa would only join Liverpool if he went to England. (Torres, Benitez, and the spanish contingent)

 

They also saying that Man City are going to pay, and are close to a deal, £17m for Roque Santa Cruz. (Last year called, they want their transfer speculation back)

You are making a good point here.

Now that's interesting.

[Guest simon]

I'm telling you we are going to get him.

No harm in a bit of optimism but do be prepared to be let down Simon. It is not happening.

1042 BST: Barcelona are to make a move for Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina after the Nou Camp club's talks with current number one Victor Valdes broke down.

Full story: Daily Fail

[Guest simon]

It would cost more than Ronaldo to buy him as well. Aswell being the best Keeper in the world he is a all round top bloke and any one would love to go on the piss with him what he can do for teams is worth more.

[Ian Sea]

I'm telling you we are going to get him.

 

No chance.

[El Rojo]

Barce are like "Join us Pepe" and Pepe's like "been there done that kthanxbye" and Rafa's like "no fucking way dudes lmao" and Pepe and Rafa are like laughing at Barce.

Fucking hell, beat me to it!

[Red Phoenix]

I wonder what Valdes is upto? La Liga and CL champions but he's not happy with his contract?

[NIred1]

I reckon it's Barca who are turfing him out.

[PaulMcC]

Valdes is really, really shit.

I have it from a very good source that we are buying Neo from outside the Matrix for a fee of five shillings plus Ryan Babels pubes.

Catalan paper 'sport' is saying that mascherano's agent is at the nou camp today discussing a move to barca.

He's a little cunt if he goes there. I think he's more loyal than that though. So he'll stay.

Maybe his agent just wants a pay day.

 

If he wants to leave we should make him hand in a transfer request. Same with Alonso.

 

Mascherano wasn't even in West Ham's team when Rafa got him. He should remember that.

It sounds like its his tart thats the problem. And while it's easy to say "He earns the money she should shut the fuck up", life isnt that simple. There were rumours she hasnt been living in England for months a little while back.

 

No idea if thats true or not but family should come first, whether you earn 10k a year or 10m.

Exactly. KJ also said that we were by far the biggest team in for him, so where would he be now if it wasn't for us? Apparently, the other notable team in for him was Lazio. Fucking Lazio.

 

Hes seen as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world now, and a lot of that is down to Rafa.

 

If he bailed now, just when we need him most, then i'd be very hurt.

 

On the subject of his wife leaving - his wife left a long time ago, and Mascherano has never ever said to Rafa that he was having problems (going by interviews by Rafa and Masch since she left).

 

Would Masch leave if it was Athletic Bilbao after him? I doubt it very much.

 

Family does indeed come first but theres no doubt that the real lure is the fact that it's Barca in for him.

 

PS Sheik Mohammed on BBC1, i swear i've just seen him. At the Ascot, or whatever it's called.

Maybe he should get a new family rather than a new club? Must be a few nice scourse girls willing to cheer him up at the moment?:whistle:

Could be for Tevez as they are linked.

Liverpool set to win race for £15million midfielder? - Fansfc

Liverpool set to win race for £15million midfielder?

Liverpool Football Club could pip a host of rivals to sign Steven Defour.

 

The Standard Liege midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to England in recent months, with Arsenal, Aston Villa and Everton all said to be interested.

 

However, it is believed Rafael Benitez wants to take the 21-year-old playmaker, who already has 20 caps for Belgium, in a deal which could cost as much as £15million.

 

Defour impressed against the Anfield club in the UEFA Champions League last season, and he is said to want to make the Premier League his home from next term onwards.
