Summer 2015 Transfer Window General Discussion

Rayne Wooney

It's refreshing hearing the "money can't buy you success" line thrown from a fan of a team who've spent almost 300 million over the last 4(?) years and won nothing, about another club...

It's not random. Just that you are incapable of seeing beyond "Liverpool vs Manutd" thing.

No. You are the one incapable. This has nothing to do with Liverpool. Only you and Wayne Rooney are making it so. The same culprits every time.

Hmmm.....I hear Chelsea's Jose Mourinho has hinted at making a move for Jonas Olsson.. "Olsson is savage cabbage" said Jose at a recent press interview.

Seems like some may have been on the sauce last night

It's getting pretty annoying when every time the 2 most supported clubs and that more people would have more knowledge of in the forum get compared in a non team specific thread someone will invariably try to derail the discussion by making a comment such as the "ugh, United and Liverpool again, rolleyes", thing.

One or two comments are fine, even a knowledgeable conversation would be understandable, but it gets a bit boring after a while when it becomes a dick measuring contest.

For what it's worth, they all won, massive dicks the lot of em!!

* Berghuis should be joining Watford within 24 hrs
* Ayew is ready for Villa but apparently Lorient are trying to add an extra 2m onto the deal stalling things.
* Berahino is attracting major interest from Tottenham
* Borini is being offered to Villa & Sunderland

inforfun

Berghuis is a done deal. Already said his goodbyes to his AZ team mates.

Pretty much Watford just have to formally announce it.

* Mbemba is just waiting for a Visa to join Newcastle
* Diaby has offers from both Marseille and West Brom. Pulis thinks he can get Diaby to play 30 games next season.

I'd imagine hes being offered to anyone with a phone number, email address or fax machine.

Song to join West Ham permanently and Halilovic will follow on loan.

Jovatic to have Inter medical.

All these rumours about De Bruyne to City being very close are clearly untrue. He is starting the game against Arsenal in the Emirates Cup.

How much? €60M is what i heard.
Seems pretty normal considering.

Bundesliga POTY.
Broke the Bundesliga assist record (20 assists + 10 goals)
Plays for a club with plenty of cash and has zero need to sell.

Madrid sign 19 year old Chinese midfielder Lin Liangming.

But I'm sure it has nothing to do with them opening their first Chinese store.

He's a terrific player but thrives in this Wolfsburg side with their rapid counter attacks and the freedom he's allowed. Might be more difficult for him in the far more deliberate Man City side.

Think Jose style didn't suit him,he is clearly a talented player.

Lack of freedom within that system, the high amount of defensive responsibility placed on the attacking players meant it really wasn't for him.

United have signed a replacement for Valdes, Sergio Romero. Hopefully this argentine works out better than the last one!

Maybe not if De Gea goes. They'll still need 2 keepers unless Lindegaard has redeemed himself.

Van Gaal worked with Romero at AZ in Holland. Was his first GK there.


Looks like Ricardo Kishna and Ajax are going to be relieved from each other with him signing for Lazio.
Buckets of talent that guy but the mentality of a spoilt 3 year old only child. Add to that Mino Raiola as agent and you know as club you better can get rid of a player.

I wonder if that is to cover the outgoing Keita, was apparently attracting interest from Liverpool, although hard to see where we have room now for a left-sided attacker.

inforfun

He can play on the right as well.
Mostly ended up on the left because El Ghazi played on the right for Ajax but before El Ghazi made his debut, Kishna played mostly on the right.

Stokelona building a really decent squad.

inforfun

I knew he hadnt played much for Barca in those 4,5 years.
31 appearances of which 16 in the first half season he was there.
Knee injury didnt help of course but didnt set the world on fire during his loan spells at Schalke and Olympiakos either.

And how the **** he got back in the Dutch squad only Hiddink knows.

Yeah, I think these players are at Stoke appropriately. But regular football and the relatively lower expectations may work for them all and allow them to click together.

Talib Fiasco

Afellay looked phenomenal when he was younger but injuries have ruined his career completely, he's pure glass. Moving to Barcelona didn't help either, completely wrong move especially for a winger. Hard to believe he's 29 now. Very decent signing for Stoke if they can keep him injury free.

I don't really see it in Stoke's squad in any case. They did well last season but are nothing special and could easily go the other way this season. Affelay is not the most inspiring signing there's been this summer by any stretch. I'd expect 9th-13th from them as usual.

ben.schlomo

At 29 and having had the injuries he has had then its difficult to see him doing much in a physical English league, if he gets going hes a decent shout for them though.

Francie Barrett

We were linked to Afellay quite often a few years back. In hindsight, it looks like we dodged a bullet. Could very well do a job for Stoke though.

Paully D

Given Hughes' superb record in the (free) low to mid price market, it'd be hard to back against Afellay ending up a successful signing.

Only had 1 serious injury, the knee that took way too long to get ok again.

He did look great at PSV where he played in midfield.
Only ended up on the wing for the Dutch national team but he isnt a winger. Dont think Barca bought him (payed 5 million while he was out of contract 6 months later) to play him on the wings.

Selling him did cost PSV the league title that year. That 5 million wasnt such smart business in the end.

Bounty Hunter

Finally confirmed, Villa sign Jordan Ayew for what is believed to be 9m
