[Soccer/Football] Summer Transfers?


Recommended Posts

Because Tevez is a very good player who could turn out to be the new Cantona for them.

It seems might initially be a loan...similar to Mascherano to Liverpool...

West Ham are the favourites to sign Liverpool's Welsh international striker Craig Bellamy, BBC Sport understands.

The 27-year-old had fallen down the pecking order at Anfield following boss Rafael Benitez's summer signings of Fernando Torres and Andriy Voronin.

Bellamy would help to plug any gap at Upton Park left by the possible departure of Argentine international Carlos Tevez to Manchester United.

The Wales captain joined Liverpool from Blackburn for ?6m in June 2006.

After starting his career with Norwich City, he has also had stints with Coventry City, Newcastle United, plus a loan spell at Celtic.

Hmmmm

Because Tevez is a very good player who could turn out to be the new Cantona for them.

Then shouldn't that be good? I mean, Liverpool already have Torres, which is good for the Premiership. I rather have a good player, especially Tevez, in the Premiership than another league.

Well it would be good for a neutral to see the best players stay in the Premiership. But considering Man Utd are the main rivals of Liverpool...it is never good to see your rivals strengthen considerably...especially as Liverpool are hoping to mount a sustained challenge for the Premiership.

But of course, if Liverpool signed Tevez it would be a win win situation for us both :p!

Carlos Tevez had shrugged off the latest transfer speculation linking him with an imminent move to Manchester United.

The Daily Mail and The Times led today's back page with a story claiming that the 23-year-old United striker was on his way to Old Trafford, after a 'friend' of Tevez's claimed that he has told them that he would be playing for the Reds next season.

But speaking this morning at Argentina's Copa America HQ, United's current Player of the Year laughed off the story.

"As far as I am aware I have not received any official offers," he told Argentinian newspaper Clarin.

"Once an offer arrives then we will see. But the fact that Real Madrid, Intern and Manchester United are interested in me makes me proud.

"If I have to stay at West Ham, it would be fine. I am happy there and people love me very much. But right now my focus is here.

"Once this is over, we shall see."

Well, if you put it that way... :laugh: !

Personally I want him to stay with the Hammers, just as I was glad that Berbatov stayed at Spurs. Always a good thing to have top names outside of the top 4. But I'm pretty sure he's waiting for Madrid to come calling. I really think Madrid was the team he wanted to play for as a child.

For whatever reason Madrid has thus far not been in the market at all and if they don't start to act, United will grab him and I'd be absolutely GUTTED! :angry: Fortunately he's downplaying the rumors and it seems more and more like he's just waiting for Madrid to bid. United doesn't need him and he doesn't need United!

?8.5 million! I bet West Ham are laughing:laugh::

Aston Villa have completed the signing of West Ham midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker for a fee of ?8.5million.

The England Under 21 international has signed a four-year deal at Villa Park after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.

Reo-Coker's future has been the subject of speculation for some time after he handed in a transfer request at Upton Park in May.

Villa boss Martin O'Neill is believed to be a big fan of the tough-tackling midfielder and sees him as a key addition to his squad.

Reo-Coker, who is Villa's first signing of the summer, will add to Villa's midfield options following the departures of Gavin McCann and Steven Davis.

The former Wimbledon midfielder is looking forward to playing for Villa and has set his sights on fulfilling his ambitions at the club.

"Football is my occupation and I love the game but I don't build myself up to be something I'm not. All I want to do is be successful," Reo-Coker told the club's official website.

"I'm not a superstar or a miracle worker. I'm a hard-working person and I give 100 per cent in every game I play.

"The reason I joined this club is their aspiration to play in Europe.

"Martin O'Neill has told me what he is aiming to do and I believe we can achieve it."

Tevez to Man Utd, now that is one formidable strike force.

Theres to much legal nonsense for that move to ever happen i.e the transfer fee who it goes to? and what sort of agreements are in place with West Ham...

It seems the story makes the papers again...

United will pay ?3m-a-year to loan him for two years and can then pay ?10m to buy him outright. Tevez will earn about ?90,000-a-week so the outlay will be more than ?25m.

He is gonna become a bit costly but I think he's totally worth it for Utd fans...

Tevez out, Bellamy in... what an utter shambles! Tevez was bound to go, and all the best to him, he definately did the business for us. Top man! Hope he is successful at Man Utd.

As for Bellamy, someone please kick Curbs in the ass and get him into gear... does he want to tear the West Ham dressing room apart?

Bellamy is a waste of space I heard we wanted Ciss? but he's gone off to Marseille so thats out the window but theres better players out there...like Saviola who could be free!!!

hate to say it as a mun utd fan but it looks like we're tryna buying the title(s), just like chelsea dun it the past 2 times. we've spent nearly ?50Mil on owen, anderson and nani. now tevez is comin'.

too much change in the squad is gonna mess with the team chemistry and may lead to a good few years before we're a force to be reckoned with.

    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
