Football Transfer Thread!

[Ch3tan]

Very sensible article about UEFA and their worries over clubs spending and debt:

BBC SPORT | Football | Premier League | English club finances worry Uefa

and best bit of gossip of the day:

Russia fans have been told to drink whisky on their trip to Wales for September's World Cup qualifier to avoid catching swine flu. (Daily Express)

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | E | Everton | Lescott wants Everton departure

Cock.

It was inevitable though. With Jagielka out though its going to suck loads, we've hardly added to the team at all, no big signings. Have to wonder if anyone else at the club is going to get swayed by their cash.

 

[Bahumat]

hopefully they get senderos or someone who can defend with some skill, then spend the rest on another good player?

 

[Marc]

You cant blame lescott really. He will be able to double his wages.

 

[Ch3tan]

It's only a rumour still, not an official transfer request... wonder if Moyes will stick to his guns if a bigger bid comes in though?

He would be daft not to tbh. £20 m+ to spend on players. Have my reservations about senderos though

 

[Everz]

Well done Lescott. Legend.

 

[soze]

Arsenal's problem?

 

[megadave]

Toure was the last invincible tbh.

 

[cHodAX]

Alonso sale confirmed.

 

[Jarahl]

Gutted He was a splendid midfielder - one that most Liverpool fans never appreciated to be honest! We'll see now that he leave, you usually never miss anything the most before it's gone

 

[Turamber]

Delph signed. Hopefully we'll see a few more arrivals in the next week or so

And it would be a shame to see Lescott going to Man City. He should stay at a proper football club imho. Hughes will be gone by Christmas and next Summer there will be a big clearout by the next person they find to run the circus.

 

[Ch3tan]

Alonso sale confirmed.

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | L | Liverpool | Liverpool agree to sale of Alonso

Yep, wave bye bye to the Anfield title challenge

Honestly I'm gutted for you scousers.

Well you can lol, it makes no sense in footballing terms to join man city, we've finished higher than man city for several years and he's played regular first team football, i cant see that happening at man city.

And im still hoping we get another 2-3 players, senderos isnt a long term solution (i hope anyway) and our right side (defense and midfield) still needs bolstering imo.

 

[Aada]

Man City are trying to break the top 3 i am sure a lot of players would like to be involved in this and you cannot blame anyone like Lescott wanting a fresh new challenge.

Hughes will be at the club for a while yet as the owner knows that to build a club you have to have stability no point spending those millions only for another manager to come in and sell all the players and start from scratch.

While people do not like the amount of money City have now they are hoping they will break the top 3 and for a new era to start.

They are? Which people are these and what have they been smoking?

 

[megadave]

Delph for 8m? Fucking retarded price

Alonso gone, can't say i'm upset to see Liverpool get weakened as no doubt Rafa will be shit at transfers again and fail to replace him.

Battle between City/Arse/Pool for 3-5 imo!

 

[Ormorof]

is Delph any good? never seen him play i dont think

and with Alonso gone does that mean he'll bid £30m for Villa or Silva now?

 

[Ch3tan]

Nope, it simply means you will get injury prone Aquillini

 

[soze]

With Liverpool making a loss last year and the owners needing to find 60 mil for that loan im not sure he will be able to spend that tbh. Them two yanks have not seemed keen to lose money so far and i doubt they will get another loan?

YouTube - Delph Goals 08/09

Some of Delph's goals last season.

£6m + £2m in add ons is the oft quoted price here in Brummie land. Yes it is a lot of money but a team that wants to break into the top four has to have a punt now and again. They can't get CL level players, unless they are mercenaries and you have an oil well in your garden to keep them in funds, so you have to do what you can.

People said Ashley Young was overpriced when MON splashed out for him ... hopefully he can have similar results with Delph.

 

[Ormorof]

thats some pretty good goals, especially like the second one right in the top corner hehe

 

[CorNokZ]

Now with Alonso gone, there has been rumours of Poulsen to Liverpool

Which would devestate me

 

[Olgaline]

how so cornokz ?

 

[CorNokZ]

he played for copenhagen, so if he were to be playing for a team that I really dislike such as liverpool it would make me feel really sad

This will be his only real shot this season imo, United still aren't sure he is the long term replacement and he really needs to make the most of the half dozen games he will get.

Would devastate me too. Totally worthless not fit to tie Alonso's boots.

Why do you hate Liverpool? Your from Denmark shouldn't really have any hate feelings etc? I would understand if you at least were from England

Yes, and as I said. If he were from Manchester I could understand it. But seeing as probably the only reason he cheers for United is that they were the best team when he was in lower grade school so everyone wanted to be them during the breaks doesn't really warrant "hate" for any other team?
