Soccer Summer Transfer Thread...

[Boltergeist]

Jesus Navas to Manchester City a done deal.

 

City is also getting Fernandinho from Shaktar for around 34M pounds.

Now City have extremely overcrowded midfield... Who's out?

Internet exploded with rumors of Fellaini to Arsenal.  Reports coming out that Arsenal trigger 24m release clause and Fellaini should be Arsenal player within few weeks...

Fear da Fro! Fellaini would be an excellent pickup for you guys, though my first impulse would have seen him going to ManU to join Moyes again.

 

 

 

Interesting summer window this year.. lots of speculation, lots of rumors, and I believe lots of movement is in the cards for every team. Makes it exciting for sure.

[Ja Rhule]

Hope its true cause Arsenal is missing true DM...  Diaby was supposed to be it last season but dude is too injury prone...  Would be awesome window if Arsenal got Felaini and Rooney.

Not a transfer but it looks like Carlo Ancelotti is leaving PSG to become the manager of Real Madrid....

[Ja Rhule]

Looks like Cavani to Chelsea. Stay tune...

Arsenal president confirmed today they want to sign Rooney.

[Raskle]

Outside the fact that Rooney is a great player, and that he would strengthen your squad, I have to wonder if this is also a big F.U. to ManUre for stealing RVP away from Arsenal.

 

There has to be a little of that in the flavor of this pursuit.

[Ja Rhule]

Very likely. I think its a lot to do with payback... Arsenal can have Rooney for 20m. Same fee ManUre paid for RVP.

Rooney wants to start but it won't happy with RVP on the team... Its pretty much a guarantee Rooney will leave ManUre. Also, they played him in midfield for the most of last season...

[Munch4455]

Still don't get what Rooney's problem is.  Guess he is tired of winning a lot of trophies, and would rather spend his time with teams struggling to stay in the Champions League.  I think he will end up at PSG as they will likely offer much more than Arsenal or Chelsea would.  I highly doubt the board at United will sell him to a BPL team.  I have a feeling they would rather have to pay him and have him sit and not do anything, instead of giving him to a rival.

[Raskle]

Maybe... doubt it though. Forcing a player who does not want to be there any longer and has soured on the team is a recipe for dressing room disaster. They become a cancer for the rest of the team, and more so, it becomes a talking point for other players thinking of joining said team. Would you want to play for a team that doesn't take your interests in consideration, and try and work the most amicable deals for all sides involved? I certainly wouldn't.

[Ja Rhule]

I'm not sure if Rooney wants to go to PSG. Its another sugar daddy club where u either perform or be replaced the following season. Arsenal have Gibbs, Walcott, Oxe and Wilsher... All England national team players and Rooney teammates. Considering that World Cup is next year, it only makes sense.

[C47]

Rumor going around right now that actually started from FIFA agent Francois Gallardo that Real Madrid has bought Gareth Bale for 90 million Euros!!  If true then WOW on the money but as a Madrid (Ozil) fan I look forward to seeing him playing RW in Spain....

[Ja Rhule]

If true... then this is crazy.  Would be a good deal for both teams.
