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

The way Sterling runs around with limp wrists.... I bet his ball skills are on point.

Considering the clinic he put on today, do you wish to eat your crow raw or cooked, son.

Oh, and you can stop with Isco rumors. It ain't happening.

Not really... I said he will play Khedira position and he did. The whole conversation was about too many CMs and I said he will play DM. Which he did.

You replace James with Kroos and attack will not be be the same. Kroos is slow and not technical but he's a great passer and rarely out of the position.

Kroos is a poor man Ramsey. Ramsey is more technical and faster.

[Ja Rhule]

Ramsey? He's okay but he's nothing special in my opinion. The hype he gets is absurd but then again he plays for The Premier League so that goes hand in hand.

Kroos might be slower but he's far more technical and a better passer.

 

You are nuts... Ramsey is one of the best midfielders in the game of football right now.  He missed 1/3 of the season last year and still scored 16 goals in 35 games.  Kroos scored 4 goals in 51 games.  They play the same position and Ramsey is younger.  The fact that you say Kroos is better than Ramsey shows just how biased you are.

 

Watch this highlights and decide if Kroos can do that.  Again, Ramsey plays DM.

 

[Ja Rhule]

Sorry man, but how many players has the EPL hyped up? Ramsey looks the part but I don't see the dominance you speak of just because he's scored more. After all, Xabi rarely scores (the position we're likely grooming Kroos for). Ramsey is a great talent. No doubt about it. So don't bring up the bias angle when every EPL fan happens to exaggerate their talent. I mean, aren't you guys already going severely overboard about Shaw?

The fact is Kroos killed it at The World Cup and was instrumental in Bayern Munich's success, and I'm not even a big fan of Toni. Kroos is known as a brilliant tactician and prolific passer to everybody in Europe. This isn't news.

English players cost a lot in England. Also, 3 out 4 most expensive player came from EPL.

Arsenal paid £16m for 19 year old CB from England who started only 20 games. English players in England are very expensive.

Yedlin have pace... and that's it right now.  His passing sucks and his ball skills are below average.

he's also only 21 years old

Tottenham Hotspur intend to have a summer clearout and up to 11 players, four of whom were signed last summer, are said to be free to leave White Hart Lane.

I called it last year...  I said if Spurs fail to make EPL, they will have a garage sale.  Liverpool is in similar boat this year but Liverpool has a much better squad.

[Ja Rhule]

Arsenal apparently still interested in Edison Cavani.  I'd rather play Walcott as CF when he comes back.  Back in 2012 when Walcott played CF he scored in almost every game.  Get a good holding DM and another CB and Arsenal is golden in my opinion.

Reports from Spain suggest that Wenger is chasing Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani and despite the forward stating he wishes to remain at PSG, Arsenal are set to make a bid believed to be in the region of $85 million.

Interesting...  Wenger wanted Cavani for sometime but I know he will try to buy him below market value.  It all depends if PSG is desperate enough for Di Maria.  PSG currently playing Cavani as Winger and he's not doing too good.  Cavani is not a winger lol.

What is shocking to me is them waiting so long to start the sale. Maybe trying to take advantage of clubs getting desperate?

No idea.  It's kind of retarded.  They purchased most players with 2-5 year payment plan and gave them good salaries.  Because they failed to make CL or other European competition, they lost close to 70m pounds in TV deals. It was a gamble... and they lost.  In first 19 EPL games last season, Spurs scored something like 16 goals.  That team had no chemistry.

[FuFuLamePoo]

Holy poo I forgot Spurs paid like £26m for Lamela hahahah
