2015 Summer Transfer Thread

[Ja Rhule]

Looks like Pogba is going to Manchester City for £71m.  Manchester City looks to wrap this one up before Summer tour.  It means Vidal is going no where.

 

Liverpool looking to wrap up Banteke for £30m.

Crystal Palace bid for Cabaye.

He's a box to box Midfielder which is what they're missing. Get Vidal/De Gea and Otamendi (if they sell Ramos) and should be set. 

Man U said they wouldn't sell De Gea unless offered a record breaking deal, and while Madrid has done so before (Bale most recently) I don't see them doing it this time.

Cool, they'll just sign him for free in December.

Firmino to Liverpool for £29m.

No way Utd lets that happen. Odds are there will be more shots fired back and forth before they agree to a swap or De Gea re-ups with Utd.

De Gea has no reason to re-up with United though. When the season starts he'll be less than five months away from getting the move he wants IF they don't figure out something in the summer, which they will. There's really no benefit (outside of getting paid a couple of months earlier) to De Gea if he truly wants to go home to Spain.

He gets both if he waits five months though. It's not like De Gea is hurting for cash. I just can't see him signing a new deal unless Real Madrid has moved on.

Manchester United will sale De Gea.  Madrid will want to buy De Gea.  De Gea want to join Madrid... Mutual agreement will be reached.  

Liverpool doing a lot of good business so far...  Firmino £29m, Clyne £10m, Kovacic £16m and Ings £6m...  That's £61m already spent. 

But Liverpool still needs a striker...  Ings is nothing more but a decent back-up.  Rotoworld reports that Liverpool are still very interested in Benteke but not at £32m price.  Multiple reports say that Liverpool will cave in at the end and buy Benteke for £32m (due to very limited options without CL).

I assumed if Liverpool spents almost £100m they would almost have to sell Sterling to offset the cost.

[Ja Rhule]

Juve is planning on buying Oscar from Chelsea...  Chelsea rates Oscar around £30m.

[FuFuLamePoo]

kovacic isn't official, i don't think.  hope it will be soon though

[Ja Rhule]

Now reports comes out linking Arsenal to Vidal again... this is hilarious. 

Liverpool prepare to take their spending past £80 million for the summer, which is good news for Man City as they launch a third bid to secure Raheem Sterling…

The Daily Express report that Liverpool are ready to meet Aston Villa’s £32.5 million release clause in Christian Benteke’s contract. The Belgian striker would be their sixth signing of the summer, taking their spending past £80 million. All of which is music to Manuel Pellegrini’s ears. City have already had offers of £25m and £40m for Raheem Sterling knocked back, but with an £80m hole in Liverpool’s budget it is widely thought that a third bid closer to £50m will finally land their man. Sterling reported back to pre-season training this morning and will no doubt want the matter dealt with quickly. Not least because he stands to pocket a £4m slice of his agents’ fee if a £50m deal is done, thanks to an unique contract arrangement.

per rotoworld.

We won't sign Kovacic.

Also- reports saying we are willing to meet Villa's £32.5m buyout clause for Benteke are probably false. Barrett and Pearce have both said we won't budge from £25m.

[Ja Rhule]

Toby Alderweireld's summer has taken an odd turn as Atletico Madrid reportedly missed a deadline to pay Southampton a £1.5million fee to invalidate their right to make the Belgian's move to St. Mary's permanent for a cut-price fee.

If this story is true then someone at Atletico is in big trouble because Spurs and perhaps Chelsea appear to be willing to pay far more than the rumored £6.8million fee that Southampton's loan deal allows them to purchase the player for. The deal will also likely not sit well with the player as he apparently has his heart set on joining Belgium colleague Jan Vertonghen at Spurs this summer.

 

Spurs just got screwed............. lolol

We won't sign Kovacic.

So who's going to play striker?
