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

Sky reports that Real increased asking price to £75m for Di Maria.

 

If true, that's absolute madness. It's kind of an interesting situation. On one hand, Madrid knows that Manure are desperate. On the other hand, Di Maria has burned his bridges, said his goodbyes, and demanded a transfer. Something tells me the price will be £60m or less. Frankly, I don't think he's even worth that.

I'm not sure if Di Maria will do good in EPL.  Many fast, quick players struggle with physicality of the game.

Arsenal sold Lukas Podolski to Wolfsburg for 12m euros.

Balo training at Melwood.

Looks like Luiz Gustavo is on verge of joining Arsenal from Wolfsburg.  Is he any good?

[Ja Rhule]

He's meh.

 

What's that means?  Is he good attacker? Defender?  I know he started for Bayern Munich when they won everything.

Looks like Everton have reached an agreement with Eto'o.

Well, outside Fred, Luiz, and Jo, Gustavo was heavily criticized by Brazilian fans at the World Cup. He's a mixed bag. He can provide some nice tackles at times but in return he can easily be shredded by average talent.

 

I'm not talking about world cup... The whole brazilian team quit.  I'm talking about when he played for Bayern and Wolfsburg

Nvm, Sky change their story from on verge to possibility.  Assholes.

Good back-up.

[Ja Rhule]

And what did I say above? He's a mixed bag. There's a reason he went from Bayern to Wolfsburg. Gustavo is a solid depth signing though.

 

The reason he went from Bayern to Wolfburg is because Bayern signed Javi Martinez who is by far the best DM in the world.

[DirtyMagic97]

Good back-up.

 

Yea. I don't want him on LFC but I don't want him at EFC either.

[Ja Rhule]

And yet he was a starter for Bayern who was not even offered a back up position.

He was, he did not want it. Who in their right mind wants to be a back-up after winning a championship?

According to several sites, Di Maria was sold to Manchester United for a record £59.7m (not including add-ons).

Yep, Manchester United in all out panic mode. The whole franchise is on brink of meltdown.
