Inta Beaver Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 I hope City sign Terry, Eto and a few others on £250,000 a week 5 year deals, and then when they don't even break into the top 4 the Arabs will soon be off and City will be in a massive heap of trouble.

DeadlyDirk Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Everybody has a price. It's all well and good saying he's already on 100k, another 100k wouldn't make a difference, to most people it would and you'll struggle to find many footballers who won't move to a different club based on money. I can only think of Kaka in recent memory as someone who turned down a significant payrise. Terry could be another but if he is then he is one of very few. I'm not sure you can class going to Citeh as a step back too much though apart from the lack of champions league football. Chelsea have been in a managerial roundabout for a while, they don't seem to be spending the big bucks like they used too and they have an ageing squad, while City have to the surprise of everyone brought stability with the manager, have plenty of money to spend and are hungry to move forwards. Terry would undoubtedly be given the captaincy and get to lead a revolution again, I'm sure he'd at least be interested.
ffan Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Fulham were in talks to sign Pawel Brozek last night as they attempt to strengthen their squad for their Europa League campaign this season. The forward, who has been valued at about £3.5 million, helped Wisla Krakow to the Polish title in each of the past two seasons, scoring a total of 42 goals in the process. Brede Hangeland has turned down Fulham’s offer of a new contract worth twice his present salary of £15,000 a week. The Norway defender, 27, who has two years left on his contract, has been the subject of interest from several clubs this summer, although none has yet made an offer. From the Times.

Think there would be other clubs happy to pay him 4 times his current wage and some more!!

In other words, he's going to Arsenal.
neekoy Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Am I alone in thinking Terry isn't actually all that special? No, you are not alone. Maybe Chelsea want rid because Carvalho is leaving and they realise Terry isn't good enough to lead the back by himself. I hope Terry does go to Man City a take Lampard as well, then they both can get shown up for the frauds they are.
gumboots Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 according to this article Obertan the French under 21 player ( mentioned by Eddie as a possible target for us a few weeks ago) is going to Man utd. http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2009/...an-vers-mu.html L'equipe reckon the deal has been done for 2 weeks now and could be finalised today. they say he's talented but since he couldn't get in Bordeaux team or even into the first team at Lorient (who finished mid table) as a regular starter, it would be one of the most surprising tranfers of the window. He's talented but is only 20 and would come in as understudy to Valencia.
den Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Ancellotti announced that Terry wants to stay at Chelsea and Chelsea wont sell at any price. Ancellotti says he will be a Chelsea player for ever, Pretty final I would say.
den Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 If he isn't trying to speak the price up? Money isn't an issue according to the Chelsea boss. He's happy at Chelsea and wont be moving anywhere.
Exiled_Rover Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 In other words, he's going to Arsenal. In other words he's another greedy t*sser.
philipl Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Looks like Chelsea put their foot down this morning and Terry did not follow through with a transfer request. Ergo he stays and City still have a shed load of cash for defenders burning holes in their pockets. Could be dangerous for Rovers. Meantime Chelski have signed Russian left back Zhirkov. Whither Cashley?
tcj_jones Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Doesn't Zhirkov play on the wing? Also, Cole is being readied a new deal so I'd expect them to play together down the left side.

G Somerset Rover Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Meantime Chelski have signed Russian left back Zhirkov. Whither Cashley? Zhirkov will play left wing not left back.
Ritchie Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 In other words he's another greedy t*sser. Aye... but he's bloody good defender. He's precisely what Arsenal require. Play him alongside Vermaelen and Arsenal will possess a strong defence.
ffan Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Amr Zaki has claimed Aston Villa failed with an £11million bid to sign him in the winter transfer window. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_5417232,00.html Also yesterday David O'Leary was saying in the paper how he'd consider becoming an assistant manager but only at Arsenal or Manchester United
LeftWinger Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Everton to sign the American Keith Andrews? 1201: Everton are expected to make American midfielder Anton Peterlin their first summer signing after the 22-year-old impressed while on trial at Goodison Park. Peterlin currently plays for Ventura County Fusion, who compete in the fourth tier of football in the United States.(Press Association)

brian_gallagher85 Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 I'd imagine that's an insult to Sunday League
awhom111 Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Hahahahaha the top tier in the USA is poor.................The 4th tier be like Sunday league! Except that the 4th tier isn't actually a 4th tier. It's more of an amateur developmental league for university players in the summer. Most good American players have played there at least one season. Burnley beat the USL (second and third tier) sides that they faced in their tour last year but lost 2-1 to the "fourth-tier" side that they played. That said, this particular player was given multiple chances to prove himself with MLS clubs earlier in the winter and did not even impress my local San Jose Earthquakes who were the worst team last year so a lot of people over here are wondering how he will fare at Everton.
Ronin Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 So, you could say he's an American version of Gallagher?
Saltysellars Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Anyone seen this in the Daily Mail today- Chelsea's new signing is a Rovers fan!!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...ckburn-fan.html
thenodrog Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Also, interesting to see the City fans on SSN saying that "money talks" these days. Is Kaka a distant memory? imo It's likely that he would have come to City in Jan but the whole deal was scuppered by a call from Real Madrid.
