[Archived] Transfer Window Part 5

[bennyboyt11]

Didn't see that coming!

Would be a great signing for Chelsea, could really put their season back into gear.

[LessThanJake]

wow

[47er]

Ah that will be because they are so shy and don't want anyone knowing their business.....na! If they had serious money the whole world would know about it as they can't keep their mouths shut for more than 5 minutes.

Anyway, back on to transfer talk please guys. Anymore off topic chat will be removed.

Would that include your comment above?!!!!!!!

[True Blue & White]

Chelsea are in for Torres...and I think it will happen. What it all means is anybody's guess. Like where Drogba fits into this. And how Liverpool spend the dough.

Sounds like Roman has got a taste for battle again which is not a bad thing.

Dorrans is just garbo.

Who are Liverpool going to get to replace him though, do you reckon Suarez will be back on? Surely N'Gog isn't good enough to take them to the end of the season.

[aXept]

What does "training compensation" really mean? It might be late, but I didn't really get it :

"Barcelona B forward Ruben Rochina (19) could join Blackburn for only a training compensation, with a buy-back option included."

That Barcelona see the Blackburn thing as a training for the player.. And if they want they buy him back when he is good enough.. Right? That was what I thought

[couer_de_lion]

Could it be that the Guardian exclusive was the Torres story but then they pulled it at the last minute? It seems very bizarre otherwise????

[Rockin' Rover]

I think Liverpool would be silly to let Torres go considering they may be finally getting a partner for him in Suarez.

ah, that makes sense, thanks

Especially in the January window, Summer makes much more sense for all involved but Roman is under pressure to spend.

Torres to chelsea £60m?

[Exiled_Rover]

If the bid is £60m I'd snap their hands off. He's good, but that's an insane amount of money. You could buy a team for that.

Did I read somewhere that Drogba is set for Real Madrid?

[jimw1988]

Apparently the chelski bid has been rejected according to goal!

[Oklahoma]

Liverpool could be risking a lot.

Imagine Ajax doesn't Suarez. Who will they have up front? N'gog?

Might want to check the date fella! LMAO

I didn't read it like that - the 'training cost' refers to Rovers paying compensation for the time the lad has been trained by Barca.

If there's a buy-back clause, that's a different thing altogether.

[True Blue & White]

Torres bid rejected again

[Drunx2002]

Exactly. Liverpool will have days to sign two strikers at least and Ajax have already said they won't let Suarez go if they haven't got the time to replace him.

Why are Chelsea moving now?!

[Billy Castell]

That would be funny Oklahoma. I hope any 'buy back' fee for Rochina is high, just in case he turns out to be a belter.

Hm... Training cost? Where you got that from? Maybe you've right.. We'll see..

[Oklahoma]

Real Madrid uses the buy back option often.

They did it when Benfica bought Rodrigo, that is currently playing for Bolton on loan.

The buy back option is double from what they received for him, if I'm not mistaken.

It seems Barça want to do the same.

[modes98]

Formica is a 3 year deal according to that fella on twitter (waltersafarian)...permanent deal.

So £3m for the fee + 3 year contract at at least £20k a week....so thats over £3m in wages say + signing on fee & agent fees.....£5m is the budget though!

Formica twitter updates seemingly all say the same thing, just hope he can get his contract sorted.

Just 1 point on your maths. You don't pay the 3 years wages up front so it would only be £500k this season as we are halfway through.

Nicko you really think Torres will go? I don't think he is that happy there anymore but it would be a massive decision that the fans may not like.

I'd like more than double the little fee we'll be offering.
