2014 Summer Transfer Window: Rumors, Completed Deals, Pipedreams!

Everton paid 28m pounds for Lukaku?  Where the hell they got this money?

 

Well, there is a certain afro missing from the starting lineup, their ticket sales increased, and TV money was stupid last year.

Still tho... Spending like a big boys.

True. I doubt we see much more until next summer.

[Raskle]

 

Ooooohhh.

 

Apparently, this was in response to the announcement by Southampton's Chairman stating he and JRod weren't for sale to the Spurs. We'll see... this seems to be posturing to drive the price up. What that guy doesn't seem to realize is that Levy is stupid enough to walk away if he doesn't get his low-ball price, so the posturing is useless.

He won't renew.... He wants out.  So clause kicks in January?

 

Won't be the 1st time a player renews after initially turning down an offer. Do we even know the terms he turned down or why?(other than rumors)

 

And his clause activates in summer 2015.

I think he wants out.  Dortmund is known as a selling club.

Sporting Lisbon director said that Arsenal is interested in William Carvalho and Sporting is willing to sale.  Carvalho is much better DM than Khedira and only 22 years old.  

 

Make it happen Arsene.

[Ken]

Not saying they wont sell. I think he renews, they raise his buyout and he leaves in 1-2 yrs.

[Ja Rhule]

Carvalho is already better than Khedira? What are you puffing? William will eventually surpass Sami but the day isn't today. He's still raw. Carvalho is definitely more athletic but that's about it at the moment.

 

You crazy.  Carvalho is way more physical.  Khedira is better in attacking but Carvalho is a freaking mountain of a man.

[Ja Rhule]

Btw, Bayern denied interest in Khedira today... soo... seems like no one want's him at the moment.

[Ja Rhule]

With one year left in his contract, other clubs are just content with him to hit the market at this point. Khedira should really fire his agent. Bayern will probably get him in 2015 as a free agent anyways.

Well, Carvalho is undoubtedly more physical but Khedira features more balance than William right now. When I look at his game, he lacks development in other aspects.

 

William Carvalho is a true DM.  Khedira is an attacking DM... something like Ramsey at Arsenal.  Even tho both play DM, they are very different players.

More now on tonight's reports from Colombia that Arsenal could be about to sign midfielder Juan Quintero from Porto. The 21-year-old, who came off the bench to score the winning goal against the Ivory Coast in World Cup Group C, is said to be preparing to fly to London and would cost in the region of £15.8million.

 

 

From Sky News

 

Multiple news outlets reporting that he's schedule to arrive in London for medical on Monday. 

 

I'd love if Wenger can get Quitero.  Very quick and fast and great passer.  Quintero destroyed Arsenal defense in last years Emirates cup.  He dives a lot tho... probably more than Suarez.

 

This also means Cazorla is expendable because they pretty much the same player.  It's also a sign that Alexis Sanchez will play CF.

[Ja Rhule]

Is Alvaro Arbeloa any good?  Arsenal looking to sign him from Madrid as Thomas Vermaelen replacement.  He would be #4 CB or #3 RB for Arsenal...

[Ja Rhule]

Arsenal will keep Joel Campbell and Cazorla this season.  Good choice.  I guess that should do for wingers and forwards.  Arsene Wenger is still looking at DM.  I think Khedira will end up in Arsenal 2 days prior to transfer window shuts.  Wenger refused to comment on Khedira questions... this means something is happening behind closed doors.
