Transfer Window Chat Thread

[Bob Dewhurst]

If Barcelona get Fabregas, how about a cheeky offer of a season long loan for Thiago Alcantara?!! Brilliant player!!

Anyone Remember when we looked to be signing this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivelin_Popov only to pull out at the last minute? Judging by his scoring record for Gaziantepspor, it looks like we dodged a bullet with that one!

Bad record that! I actually thought he looked good when he played for Bulgaria against England

[alexanders]

Mathias Fernandez is a good shout.

Another name might be Dani Guiza.

I think people who expect a 20 goals a season striker might be dissapointed considering there where only 2 striker who netted 20 goals last Premier League season.

If we can get 2 strikers with 10 goals each get some goals from Hoilett, Rochina, Formica, Roberts, Olsson, Petrovic, Samba, Nzonzi I think we will have some goals in us.

Mevluc Erdinc £7m fee accepted by Newcastle hasn't been able to agree personal terms yet would be a very good signing.

Very overrated player and could be a major flop in the Premier League.

Really? I think I am a little bit biased, because of one strange reason I seem to fancy Turkish players (Might be Tugay )

He had good goal tally last season and has been one of PSG's better formers last seasons.

As I said I might be a little biased and I am sure you know the french league much better than me

No offense but saying "could be" is obvious, any player "could be" a flop, even Lionel Messi. But how do you know unless they are given the chance? I think he will be a hit in the PL, and since it's not my money the owners would be spending, I'd be pretty happy if they bought him.

[Eddie]

He's a decent Ligue 1 player, but he's not the same style as other forwards who have made the transition from France to England and it would really surprise me if he managed to pull it off.

The fact that PSG are willing to sell him is an indication of their own assessment of his ability. Their new owners are trying to build a new French dynasty, one capable of at least replicating the success that Lyon had a few years ago, but they have even loftier ambitions and if they thought that he could play a part in that then they would be doing everything within their powers to keep him (including offering him the sort of wages that would blow Newcastle out of the water (see their interest in Berbatov)).

That's true, but 'could be a major flop' is a fairly strong statement. I'll put it this way: if he joins Newcastle he will not hit double figures.

No disrespect, but we'd have absolutely no chance.

I can definitely see City wanting to to get some players off the wage bill before the end of the window. Would absolutely love to see Bellers back on loan, i think if we wait late enough they would be desperate enough to agree to it.

If i picked any City player to come on loan it would be Adam Johnson i just rate the lad he is probably a bit mis-used at City and has a lot of competition depending on how City set out this year Silva, SWP who's had a good pre season might back in Mancini's plans. so yeah if he comes availble up for loan. AJ for me of course he plays in a position where we are currently in talks for Vieirinha but if we fail in landing him, i feel Johnson would be a perfect alternative if available for loan that this.

Chaddy will be all over this

[DE.]

I saw a report earlier that Tranquillo Barnetta was available for £4m ... no idea how valid it is but if his valuation is anywhere close to that we should be all over it! Think the report was in relation to Newcastle. Come to think of it I'm pretty sure I saw it on SSN this morning, never mind

Adam Johnson is simply too good. I rate him as one of the best left-footed players in the league. I don't think he'll be loaned out unless Mancini has gone completely mad.

For loans or buys, I'd consider Onuaha, Weiss, SWP, and Bellamy to be somewhat realistic options.

I don't think people have really got the idea of this thread.

His agent dismissed it, said they offered 40k which is less than what he is on now and he would be mad to go basically...apparently sunderland and wigan sniffing around too...

[pick32]

Found his agent's blast at Newcastle very funny just showed the Newcastle fans they haven't got the pulling power they once had. Think it was something along the lines that he would consider taking a pay cut to go Arsenal, Liverpool or even Totenham but it's insulting to ask him to take one to go Newcastle haha.

[Al]

Correct. This thread is for discussing linked players both in and out. There is another thread for random thoughts, suggestions and blue sky wishes. Please keep it to that to keep it relatively short.

Barnetta's a good player but not £60k+ p/w good. Any prospective team will have to offer that minimum to even get him to think about moving to this league. Bonkers.

[Ricky]

Ben, not being funny but you keep harping on about vital blakburn or whatever it's called yet you and your cronies are all on here.

And isn't Tombo, aka west Sussex rover, wsr, and whatever name we've banned him under your main guy over there lol. He came on here under his last guise pretending to be a BBC journo. Deluded!!!

Anyway can I just add that I'm not in the know, don't have sources and actually preferred it on here when everyone was in the same boat! Rant over!!!

My cronies? Lol, this isn't a gang.

And, no, they are not. There's myself and Glen, but other than that none of them use this site. I was simply making an observation, and I stand by what I said. You all spend so long bitching at each other, the important conversations get lost in the BS.

[blue/white]

Good shouts, on all counts.

How about Matías Fernández? One of my favourite players that doesn't play for one of Europe's elite clubs.

Fernandez has a dodgy injury record and might be a bit iffy physique wise--- think Formica.

Game set and match Ricky/BRFCS

[yeti-dog]

Yes PAFELL I agree with you to a point.

Zac got embroiled in the Venkys/Kean debates before he started to pass on his information, which puts him at a disadvantage on here that’s for sure

Not sure Kamy has been stupid enough to do that

You'd be surprised just how many stories on here originated from Zac.

The Vaccines are an improvement on The Wombats

Sorry Gav,we often sing from the same hymn sheet on this messageboard but you're miles off with that comment.The recent Wombats album walks all over the Vaccines effort.

Jeez Al,are you related to Jim by any chance,you're posts get more churlish by the day...

I actually appreciate both yours and Glen's input on here, particularly since Nicko buggered off.You seem to have some good sources and they were bang on with Goodwillie.

Not everyone on here is a miserable old sod.Perhaps you might want to make use of the Ignore function....

Not heard recent tracks, will take a listen.

Also be warned, I'm getting TGM to come up with some stats that wee all over your opinion

Rather listen to a Kangaroo humping than those shower of ######.

[A cup of beans]

You may have hit on something there. It is the manner or way of how Zaccaius posts in comparison to kamy. My view is that zaccaius comes over childish whereas kamy is more professional. Zaccaius comes over very boastful, whereas kamy just shares what he is able to. He may well know this that and the other, but the manner in how he shares or reveals it that is often the reason for others posting fun at him.

I have also not known Kamy to post insulting comments towards other posters - sadly the same cannot be said of Zaccaius.

youve said all this before.. paffell. its all in the interpretation.. when and how i reveal the info.

no offence is meant when i post my stuff.

unless i am debating something about the club.. or getting slagged off by certain posters.

see my heart rules my head when it comes to rovers.. so i do get a bit heated.. but thats mostly about owners and other topics.

im not childish.. not sure how you come up with that assumption. but lets move on. take my info as you want to.
