Transfer Thread 2.0! New and improved

Anelka, Kalou, Sturridge and Hulk can all play on the wing, so I don't think it's going to be much of a problem. But really Anelka and Kalou should go

Jose Enrique to Liverpool

All we need now is a center half.

SWP and Tuncay (on loan) in talks with Bolton.

The Sneijder deal is looking less and less likely:

Hulk is not going anywhere this year. FCPorto wants to keep the top players another year. We are not selling him now for less than 50M€ (and for Chelsea, after AVB signing, a lot more)

Talking about FCPorto players, there was a rumor that Falcao signed a new deal, with an improved release clause (45M€) but he can facilitate a transfer to Real Madrid at the end of this season

I'm not against a rotation of Vermaelen-Koscielny-Djourou-Dann at all.

Wenger doesn't rotate. I still think that's a pretty poor defence though, at least relative to the other top teams (Chelsea, United, City, Liverpool, and dare I say it, Spurs).

He rotates for Cup games etc; there's a big unknown factor in that defense, it could be shocking or great.

Outside of defending FK's we were among the best last season, and FK's is a team issue.

I would prefer Cahill and wouldn't mind adding Mertesacker, but anyone who keeps Squillaci out of the squad gets my approval. If security personnel could keep him from getting within a mile of the pitch, they would also get my approval.

I don't understand why he's blowing smoke again. Its not like the fans are 8 year olds that do not know what's happening.

Neither do we. Looking closer to being fired imo.

Ferguson: There won't be any more signing.

Most recent FCPorto to Chelsea rumour:

Chelsea offered 18M€ + 1 player (don't know who).
FCPorto was suppose to told them the release clause is 30M€ and they don't want to negociate any player with their club

Post #857 » by **5DOM** » Fri Aug 12, 2011 7:15 pm

18M+1 player for who?
Pereira? That would be a disaster

Sorry, my mistake.
Yes, for Alvaro Pereira.

Eto has apparently accepted Anzhi's offer of 300k a week. Hope he doesn't complain when the inevitable banana throwing episode happens.

Who on Twitter actually has real sources and reports genuine inside information? I'm not expecting people to provide daily updates, I just want information that isn't totally fabricated. I've been following at least 10 idiots religiously who have absolutely no clue what's going on. Ian McGarry with his latest:

Sneijder talks with #MUFC abandoned. Player demands too expensive. Move off for now. Poss talks resume before window closes. #Inter
