Soccer Summer Transfer Thread...

BBC reporting that Arsenal gave up on Suarez and decided to move on other targets. Looks like Suarez will ride the pine until January and probably be sold at discount to Real Madrid.

Apparently Arsenal season ticket holders are furious and many dumping their season tickets... Arsenal had an income of around £250m this summer alone but failed to bring top players in. So it looks like the club shareholders will split the income among themselves. There might be riots on the street of London very soon.

Rumors that Tottenham is going to go after Croatian phenom Alan Halilovic with a 12 million pound bid.  Rumored to be the guy who they feel can eventually replace Bale.  I would tend to agree, the kid is a special, special player....

I have a strong feeling Spurs will get a 4th spot this season. Looks like Arsenal owner, Stan Kroenke will pocket the money from TV and sponsorship deals and then will sell the club next year.

Suarez says he's staying at Anfield "for now" due to the "affection of the fans."  Even says he's open to signing a new contract.

 

That means he's hoping Liverpool will offer him a contract with a new release clause. Fug off, Suarez.

[Ja Rhule]

Exactly, he's trying to get his way out. He don't give 2 shits about Liverpool fans.

[Ja Rhule]

Suarez denied reports that he changed his mind. He still looking for a way out. I think Arsenal might submit one last bid of around £42m plus £5m in add ons.

Now it appears he didn't say that. Haha. Transfer saga nonsense

Capoue completes Tottenham transfer:

Looks like he passed the medical, and now we have a good replacement for THudd, who can shift to CB to cover if Kaboul isn't ready to go for the start of the season.

Scott Parker replacement, Scott Parker will be on his way to QPR shortly.

Arsenal fans planning "occupy arsenal" in mid September to remove Arsene Wenger as a coach and ask Kroenke to sell his shares to Usamov. Apparently Arsenal should have around £300m in transfer funds but the money no where to be found... It seems like someone is pocketing the transfer funds.

Sky Sport News reports that Suarez apologized to Liverpool and is practicing with a first team. Liverpool in deep talks with Anghi over Willian.

Luiz Gustavo chooses Wolfsburg over Arsenal (this one is just sad)

I think I'm gonna switch teams, it's getting ridiculous. Arsenal sold 17 players in last 30 days and and brought in just 1 on free transfer. They don't have enough players to fill the team due to injuries so they will bring players from Arsenal academy to have enough players for the game tomorrow. They asked Arsene Wenger if he's gonna buy anyone and he said he understands fans frustration but believes his current squad is good enough to challenge for tittle.. Just insane... Btw, by transferring and releasing 17 players, Arsenal will make additional £40m this year alone. Mind bogging...

Cool interactive graph of all the transfers so far in and out of the PL so far this summer.  Probably not as much fun for Arsenal fans
