So Which Constantly-Speculated Players Will Finally Move This Summer?

speedboatchase

With just a few weeks left in the season we're hearing managers talking about strengthening their squads and we're already hearing a lot of the same highly-fancied players names' being bandied about this season as last. However obviously not every big team has a healthy balance so of the following media oft-repeated players who do you think will actually be making a move this summer, and to where?

Sergio Aguero
Franck Ribery
Edin Dzeko
Cesc Fabregas
David Villa
David Silva
Mario Balotelli
Hugo Lloris
Nemanja Vidic
Eden Hazard
Giampaolo Pazzini
Simon Kjaer

Also what do you think are the chances of last years big transfers (Kaka, Benzema, Melo) might already be on the way out?

Xavi6

Villa and Balotelli to City.

You heard it here first.

****ing love to see Balotelli at city

The Davestator

Personally I reckon Aguero to Chelsea, Cole and Silva to Madrid, Ribery to Barca, Vidic to Juve or Milan and Villa to City. Possibly Lloris to Utd. Surely Dzeko HAS to go somewhere this time

That_Guy

Wouldn't be surprised if Jose Enrique sparked up a bit of an interest from some clubs.

I knew it was just a matter of time before someone mentioned vidic

well actually the thread is
''So Which Constantly-Speculated Players Will Finally Move This Summer? ''
And there has been speculation.
Doesnt mean you have to get all defensive about it.

I suppose Media... where all speculation regarding players/transfers comes from.

Tarzan o Brien moving to St Anthony's, Kilcoole,you heard it here first
Vidic is gone this summer also

NabyLadistheman

Heskey to Liverpool. Boo hoo

Seaneh

Dzeko to Milan for Money + Huntelaar and Jankulovski.

Vidic to Italy or Real. Would have been Juve if they got CL footie but it's not looking likely now.

Balotelli would only move for insane money to either Chelsea or City, but i'd be surprised if he moved, although, I wouldn't be stunned if he does move and ends up moving to Milan, he's been seen at Milan games, has admitted he is a Milan fan, photographed wearing a jersey etc.

Villa, if he moves, will stay in spain, same for Silva.


Kun will probably end up at Inter.

Ribery to Real.

Lloris won't move this summer, same for Pazzini.

Kjaer will stay at Palermo for another year.

Cesc isn't moving anywhere this year unless it's for stupid money.

Hazard, no idea where he will go if he moves but id a cracking little player.

Daemos

My heart says neither Gerrard or Torres are going anywhere, but I have my doubts, the bookies have Torres at only 11/8 to leave...

has Vidic been mentioned yet?

Is Robinho only on loan at Santos?

As someone mentioned earlier, Balotelli and Bellamy and maybe even Robinho at the same club could be amazing.

He is but I read he wants to stay there. I reckon he doesn't like England really but who knows.

Milan blew there chance to sign him last year. Signed a contract extension last year.

Why would Vidic take such a drop down to Juve. Doesn't make sense. He won't leave IMO.

The jersey was on a comedy TV show. It was a joke. Although he has admitted he's a fan of AC Milan, quite strange that, but Milan definitely don't have the money to sign him.

Kjaer will move IMO. If Milan hadn't of signed 'the youthfulness' of Yepes :rolleyes:, I would of thought Milan would be interested. But now, I'd say Juventus are more likely.

I can see Dzeko at Milan next year. The fee would be high but his wages wouldn't and that makes it possible.

As for Balotelli. He has been been seen in a box at Milan CL games wearing a Rossoneri scarf more than once. I don't see it happening, all I said was, I wouldn't be stunned.

Signing Yepes almost made me cry. Great replacment for Favalli there :rolleyes:

Thought Yepes was a great statement of intent to age the squad further. The guy has played well in Serie A this season. In fact, he has been superb. But at 34. Come on. Then again, with the money situation, with him being a free and all he could do a job for a year or two.

dor83

All just my opinion but this is where I reckon they will go:

Sergio Aguero - Inter
Franck Ribery - Real
Edin Dzeko - Milan
Cesc Fabregas - Inter
David Villa - Don't know, somewhere in Spain
David Silva - Don't know, somewhere in Spain
Mario Balotelli - Arsenal
Hugo Lloris - Stay where he is
Nemanja Vidic - Milan or Barca
Eden Hazard - Not a clue
Giampaolo Pazzini - Stay where he is
Simon Kjaer - Stay where he is
Pato - Chelsea or Real
Benzema - Man Utd.
Melo - Arsenal
Diego - Not sure where but I reckon he will be sold.

Dor83 ill take a wild stab at this but your a inter fan right :pac:

so you think Juve will sell Diego ?

Hope Lyon swoop for Diego. Perfect Juninho successor.

Yeah, but I reckon Aguero because we have been chasing him for a couple of years now and even tried to get Maradona as a scout before he got the Argentina job, just so he would get Aguero to move to us. Fabregas was named in the insurance policy that the club took out for our players for next year.

Headshot wrote: »

I do think he will be sold, there have been rumors for a couple of months that they want to sell him.

Frisbee

Not a hope Fabregas will move to Inter.

When he leaves Arsenal it will be for Barcelona. No-one else.

I rate both those sources about as much as I would Marca or NotW

JokerD

I'd say Beckford to Everton is quite likely

SlickRic

if investment doesn't come in, Stevie Gerrard to Inter Milan, or even the lunatic asylum that is Real Madrid.

missingtime

If Kun goes to Chelsea I'm going to cry.

Pinturicchio

Diego's going nowhere.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Gigi Buffon yet.

MementoMori

Both Riera and Aurelio look like certainties to move this summer.

newballsplease

Paul Mc Shane to Infinity and beyond hopefully

Yup, could see him moving this year myself, but where?

Would look lovely behind a row of red and black IMHO, but never going to happen.

Can't see City signing him they had Given and although Buffon is better, Given isn't that far behind him and the money involved wouldn't be worth it for them...


Man Yoo maybe?

Daemos

Or Arsenal if Wenger gives in to the pressure?

Some weird comment made about Buffon on Monday's Guardian Podcast.

Something along the lines of Vidic to Juve, in return for Buffon and 15m

Richardson asked who'd get the 15m, and the answer was United, and he said "bum deal", then Glendenning made some comment I couldn't make out, they laughed and then Richardson indicated that the words "bum deal" are funny in relation to Buffon.

Lukker-

John O'Shea to Barcelona.

I head that too but they got it wrong, the report from Tuttosport said that Utd were to give Juve Vidic plus £20m for Buffon. I doubt Utd would pay that much and also don't think Buffon is worth that much, he is 32 after all.

he is 32, but he is a keeper, he could easily play until he is 40 and he is currently the best keeper in the world.

Why would Vidic go to Juventus anyway?

If Buffon was available for 20M I'd love to see Arsenal snap him up.

Even if he is 32 he's still got at least 5 years of top quality playing time left, most likely 7 or 8.

But I would value Vidic at about £20m, which would make the reported fee to about £40m, and that is way too much for any keeper, especially a 32 year old. I think you would get Lloris or Akinfeev for about half that and Frey(who I would rate very highly, although he is 30) for about £15m, all of whom would represent much better value than £40m for a 32 year old Buffon imo.

Because even Turin is a nicer city than Manchester!

His wife is known to hate the place, there have been rumblings of it for ages now.

Juve with him and Giorgio Chiellini at the back would be very good defensively if they can get good right full.

XXXX - Chiellini - Vidic - Grosso


would be an impressive back four, provided XXXX is a quality RB.

Won't happen unless Juve finish 4th, which doesn't look like happening.

Wow, that seems insane to me, although you have the potential of getting good value out of Buffon as he is a keeper, I would of thought Vidic would be held to a higher value.
