Talk about paying over the odds!

8 million for rhodes is a ridiculous amount for a player that is only proven at league 1 level, fair enough he looks a quality player but that is a ridiculous number. Huddersfield are the real winners here, good young squad with the likes of Clayton and Norwood in midfield, with this money they can add serious quality to the side, they could do well this year in the championship off the back of their squad and new found fortune

Berbatov to Fulham?

Swansea have had a good transfer window, despite losing Allen. Michu, Hernandez and Ki are all quality.

Del Piero possibly about to join Sion. Not where I would have expected him to end up to be honest. Gattusso is there now as well. Do they have lots of money or something?

Del Piero also held talks with Sydney FC overnight about a possible move to Australia.

ADP is also being linked with Spurs and Celtic.

Him at Celtic would be bloody epic.

I'd love to see him at Celtic tbh, the experience and what other players, we've a very young squad, could learn from him on and off the field would be immense. One of my favourite players ever is just the icing on the cake!

EDIT

On a side note, had to lol at this

Dan Walker ‏@mrdanwalker

Also, Celtic are in the CL & Modric wins a medal after 10 minutes at Madrid!

I'd say the only thing that would bring him to Cletic would be the CL footie to be honest.

Spurs give him the chance to play in a top league and could offer him much more money.

He dropped some hints that he would like to play in the J-League, after playing in a charity match there last month.

Not a Celtic jersey, but he looks alright in hoops.

I'd say getting gametime would be hugely important to him too though given that the clock is ticking on his career. He has a far better chance of being first choice at Celtic than at Spurs.

Xavi6

I'd hate him to end up at Celtic.

Apparently the options are them, Sion, Sydney, Spurs and Braga.

Xavi6 wrote: »

Why so?

Dempsey

He did have great things to say about playing against Celtic and playing at Celtic Park in his book.

I hope to wake up tomorrow morning to him doing a medical!

He would get a fair amount of game time at Spurs if he came, we've a serious lack of strikers.

You should pop down to the local hardware store to get some sandpaper for that chip on your shoulder!

The A-League & MLS are not better than the SPL. Celtic can offer UCL football, Sion cant.

Your analogy smells like piss! :pac:

Oscorp

Juventus have been involved in all sorts of controversial match-fixing shenanigans over the past couple of years. I dislike Celtic too, but I can't see how leaving a corrupt and morally bankrupt outfit like Juve for Celtic would lessen one's respect for a legend like Del Piero.

IncognitoMan

Im not a celtic fan at all but its a bit petty to say a legend would be ruined if he joined them. Would be nice to see him in the champions league next season instead of ****ing off to the middle east.

Dembele and Moutinho in the space of a few days? Some deals done if that one goes through.

Interesting stuff regarding Dimitar Berbatov's move away from United.

Apparently, with a fee agreed and a medical set to take place, Berbatov failed to arrive in Florence. Fiorentina have released an angry statement regarding his snub and Fulham are now favorites to sign him with Juventus ruling themselves out.

Red Crow

There is little or no difference in Del Piero going to Celtic, Sion, Sydney or the MLS.

The MLS is a retirement home for semi-decent players and the A-League is a death bed for players way over the hill (Juninho, Fowler etc.). FC Sion were involved in a scandal last year over fielding ineligible players and then tried to sue UEFA over removing them from the competition due to their own fault. The SPL is a one horse race and the weather is crap.

I don't see how Del Piero can go down in peoples estimations for just playing for Celtic but not the other sides. You'd think the sensible choice would be Sion.

Sion has Gattuso, Sion wins I'm afraid.

Rekop dog

Amazing how dim a view pl fans have of Maicons defensive abilities just based on the Spurs CL game where Inter basically stopped playing after taking a 4 goal lead. He's not quite the player he was but imo he'll suit the 3-5-2 system that Mancini wants to play a lot this year better than any of their current options. His main issue like a lot of Inter players has been a lack of motivation since Jose left, I think this move will revitalise his career.
