Re: 2014 Summer Transfers Rumours Mk.IX

What's the point of signing Hernandez? WTF.

Tevez, that Italian scrub who scored 4, Morata and Llorente aren't enough?

by Tomwin Lannister Mon Aug 25, 2014 11:48 pm

Dunno but we're obsessed with having an extra striker for some reason

Personally don't see the point but might as well loan somebody in for peace of mind.

by Onyx Tue Aug 26, 2014 12:07 am

Juve need to decide whether Llorente's good enough or not imo. If he isn't, then try and sign an elite forward like Falcao/Cavani.

Also instead of Morata, who's moving from one bench to another, they should have signed a goalscoring winger like Griezmann/Vela/Cerci etc.

by Tomwin Lannister Tue Aug 26, 2014 12:09 am

At this point in time I wouldn't play Cavani over Llorente tbh

If we can supply him with crosses unlike last year, he should have a beast of a season.

Maybe replace him next year.

Wonder if Arbeloa's decision had anything to do with getting whistled off against Cordoba. hmm

by Mr Nick09 Tue Aug 26, 2014 12:35 am

\Xherdan Shaqiri has many suitors, but he seems to be waiting for Juventus. In the past hours, Atletico Madrid insistently courted him, there have been contacts, inquiries and an offer. But the Swiss attacker decided to decline it and wait for the offer from Juventus, a club he likes a lot. Spartak Moscow are after him too, Juventus are lurking. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich opened to a loan move. There should be some developments during the week.

Btw, is Paulinho lacking match fitness after some post-World-Cup holiday or why has he not been in the squad yet?

He got his first real game minutes in the Europa league this past Thursday and played like dog shit. I am willing to give the guy till the January window, but never been a fan, so I doubt he will produce anything of any quality even with a new manager.

Relax, logical choice on Manola's part, why play for the Orphan Black of Roma when you can play for the real thing :coffee:

while we have just 3 CFs with Palacio injured for undefined time :facepalm:

I think Allegri is going to play with something similar to 4-3-2-1 next year, so I could understand your interest on Podolski, but Hernandez is very strange

anyway about Podolski , it wouldn't be the best thing to keep him for Arsenal ( Wolfsburg close to him), with Giroud injured ? Why does Wenger get rid of him ? I think he was legit in his Arsenal period

by Onyx Tue Aug 26, 2014 2:50 am

Apparently Podolski's close to joining Wolfsburg.

I'm sure Lukaku will be inconsolable at having Eto'o sit the bench as his back-up.

"You know Chelsea, every year they buy a new top striker," he told reporters. "I remember coming into the dressing room last year and seeing Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba and going, 'Woah! What's happening here?'

http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/313455.html#w2fdl3BmowyTs53B.99

Need I say more? He'll hate Eto'o joining regardless of the pecking order.

He doesn't want to work for his first team spot, he wants it handed to him.

by Donuts Tue Aug 26, 2014 3:44 am

every player wants a starting spot, Lukaku is no different just he probably got fed up being a backup to torres / drogba and then eto / ba / torres.

competition is fine, but too much competition isn't.

by Kick Tue Aug 26, 2014 5:39 am

He doesn't want to compete for it.

Honestly, if he didn't think he could oust a 30+ Eto'o, an out of form Ba and Torres, he didn't deserve to start.

He'll think the same thing again.

by RedOranje Tue Aug 26, 2014 5:40 am

You'll have to ask him.

Milan stepped aside and aren’t pushing, Atletico Madrid made their offer (€12M plus €2M add-ons) and aren’t improving it: on the contrary, they are courting Shaqiri, who would like to wait for Juventus though. Today, the conditions of his potential move to Premier League should be clearer. The first whispers indicated QPR and Sunderland as the team interested in him, but there were no confirmations. Then Southamption, denied. At that point, Arsenal emerged as a surprise suitor: the signals point at that direction, provided that even another destination doesn’t come up. Wenger lost Giroud for three months, Sanchez loves playing as striker. He wants to be a centre-forward, he’s not crazy about playing on the wing. That’s the possible reason why Arsene Wenger is suddenly targeting Cerci, the coach likes the technical and creative players. Cerci is one of those. He even had his twitter account hacked in a summer where he was heavily pursued. The behavior of Torino’s fan base was impeccable: they’ll respect his choice, should he have the great chance to move to a top club. They’ll surround him with even more affection and enthusiasm, should he stay.

I don't know how reliable Le10sport are but according to them we will buy Falcao for €60 mill :facepalm:

I swear I am done being surprised. Perez is adamant on making our team have players who cost 60 mill or more

You can easily distinguish the players Mourinho/Carlo want(ed) and the players Perez chose. The coaches chouces are usually very cheap or at least sane while the Perez buys are usually insane

by Tomwin Lannister Tue Aug 26, 2014 6:02 pm

Not even gonna bother explaining how pointless signings like this are because everybody knows it
