[Soccer/Football] Summer Transfers?

[Rappy Veteran]

I totally agree, I've never heard of a 2 year loan deal in my life.

If I remember rightly Mido's loan to Spurs was an 18 month one but that's the closest I can think of.

[Shibby]

In a way I feel sorry for Man Utd, they was offered the chance before to buy him, but didn't like the sound of things so refused him.

Now there has been some more dodgy deals to clean it up and now it looks like he is set to join UTD.

The reason why I feel sorry for Utd, is because what to say this saga won't happen again?

Most clubs now days wish to buy the player out right and only have performance related fees included in the contract.

Alan Smith gone to Newcastle...that means West Ham might get Dyer :|

[HilariousNinja]

The reason it is a 2 year loan is because of all this legal mumbo-jumbo involving the 3rd party owners of Tevez. I guess it seems to sorted and once the loan is finished we will sign him permanently at a cheaper deal with MSI (3rd Party owners).

Man City want Mark Bresciano...another bloody player!!!

[Martyn]

yay :D We got Fowler!!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/6281850.stm

Yea, he's probably a bit past his best, but its just brilliant to have someone of that standard and experience playing for us. Even if he doesn't score loads, his experience should rub off on the rest of our players.

Congratulations! You have a footballing legend on your hands, and even though physically he is not as able as he used to be, the touch of class will never leave him.

Robbie Fowler will always score you goals. Legend.

I posted a blog post on him a while back here, which you might like to read.

Kieron Dyer isn't going to West Ham now because Newcastle are playing hard to get, they allow the player to talk terms, have a medical and allow him to say he likes it then say come back here and forget about West Ham :ermm:

Andy Cole has left Portsmouth. Not suprised really, he was sort of a painc buy

Arsenal need to sign atleast 1 more player... Who do you people think it will be?

Everton have bid ?11m for Porto's Argentine midfield man Luis Gonzalez.

Boss David Moyes is attempting to push through a deal for the 26-year-old as Everton face competition from Juventus and Lyon for Gonzalez's signature.

BBC Sport understands Everton are now awaiting a response to the bid, which would beat the club record ?8.6m paid to Crystal Palace for Andrew Johnson.

Everton are also poised to pay ?5m for Wigan's Leighton Baines after Newcastle admitted defeat in the transfer battle.

Gonzalez - known as "Lucho" - is a key figure in Porto's line-up, and figured in Argentina's squad at the recent Copa America.

When did Everton win the lotte:laugh:gh:

[Shibby]

Yeah when did Everton get money? At the start of the season I thought Moyes said he hasn't got much money and wouldn't want to spend big.

Also any chance of Man Utd getting another right back? Watching Wes Brown in this chelsea match, let Malouda run past him and not bother to keep up.

How was that match?

They won't be signing anymore players - their transfer dealings this summer are over but I wished they strengthened the defence position. I think Arsene made it clear in his last interview after the ajax match. Edited August 5, 2007 by NightCrawler.

Dunno, defence isn't that bad, we could do with a winger or two

You got enough whingers. ?Oh sorry they left.

[Rappy Veteran]

:laugh:

[Zoom7000]

Let me just sign a contract for my current club till the end of my career... but oh wait, I'll move to another club next year anyway! :laugh:

[NightCrawler.]

Our defence is terrible! We concended so many goals last season from concentration lapses and set pieces which we could have easily avoided. We need a big phil to join our team.

[Shibby]

Arsenal lack that solid defender known Sol, who by the way is the captain at a south coast club.

I tell you what, give us a few million for him!

He is priceless at Portsmouth, my dad recently saw him at a Tescos a pointless but interesting fact.

[Shibby]

Sol shopping at Tescos? Dam Pompey are not paying players again, otherwise why would he be at a tescos? Then again, not that many top class food shops like london.

John Lewis is probably as posh as you can get...noone went up to Sol tho he was saying...obviously people didn't know who he was :laugh:

Real Madrid have announced that they have agreed an ?18.3m deal with Ajax for Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder.

The 23-year-old, who has 35 caps for Holland, is set to sign a five-year contract with the Spanish giants.

He is Real's fifth buy of the summer, following the purchase of defenders Christoph Metzelder and Pepe, striker Javier Saviola and goalie Jerzy Dudek.

The signing of Sneijder could have implications for Chelsea's Arjen Robben, who has been linked with Real.

Sneijder has scored 57 goals in 180 appearances for Ajax.

Another Dutchman, Royston Drenthe, is also expected to join the nine-times European champions.

The 20-year-old left-sided player, who has also been linked with Chelsea, is expected to complete a move from Feyenoord on Monday morning.

Good Signing for them(Y))

[Martyn]

Good Signing for them (Y)

Sneijder is a good player, but I think Real payed a bit to much for him...but I suppose you will always pay a premium when you are Real Madrid.

Pretty much like they did for Pep? something like ?19m for an unproven player.
