Soccer Summer Transfer Thread...

Bernard is gonna be superstar one day. He's super fast, quick and tricky.

Rumor that Madrid and Sevilla have reached a principle agreement on the transfer of French U20 defensive midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia.  Transfer fee is said to be in the neighborhood of 15 million Euros.  The transfer agreement is pending, waiting for the player and Madrid to negotiate contract terms.  If true this will be a welcome signing, as a successor to Khedira is sorely needed.

Kondogbia is a hell of a player, one of the better young middle defenders in the world.

Yep, that's why I'm hoping this one is true.  Let him come off the bench for this year, and he's ready to replace Khedira in 2014....

Higuain is off to Napoli. Now, RM will either bid for Suarez or Bale. Can't believe Napoli paid over £30m for Huguain.

[C47]

Hate to see you go Higs, think things could have been different if he had been given consistent opportunities by Mou.  World class striker who should do very well at Napoli, but I agree 37m is a bit steep.  Hopefully a formal Bale bid comes in the next few days....

Rumor that Tottenham wants 60m, Coentrao and Morata (season loan with option to buy) in exchange for Bale.  How bout you take you take 70m Coentrao and like it? No way I'm giving up on Morata or Jese' if I'm Perez....

BBC reporting that Suarez asked Liverpool to allow him to meet with Arsenal officials.

Bale didn't play against Sunderland today, AVB claims he got "knocked" in training.  

[Ja Rhule]

Right...

[C47]

Yea I'm always skeptical when I hear that.  Could it be true?  Absolutely.  But Higuain was announced yesterday to be out of the game for "rest"....

[Ja Rhule]

Liverpool fans are pissed with Suarez performance and body language in today's friendly game. Apparently he played half ass and passed ball instead of shooting.

[C47]

Doesn't want to be there.  Not saying he's handling it the right way, but it's obvious he's checked out...

[Ja Rhule]

He wants out but Liverpool thinks he owes it to his teammates and fans. That's like RVP last season. Brendan Rodgers is hoping RM would bid for Suarez, he really do not want to sell him to another EPL team.
