[Football] Summer 2009 transfer thread


Recommended Posts

?18 million for Glen Johnson? ?18 million for Antonio Valencia?

The world has gone mad.

Benzema is going to the Mancs for ?38 million as well apparently.

38 million! That's a hell of a lot for Benzema, but since Real went crazy I'm not really surprised. Lyon and many other clubs which have United targets see we have ?80 million to potentially spend, so they'll be in charge of the situation and tell us to cough up. Personally anything over ?30 million for Benzema is too much.

Pjanic has now denied the Benzema quotes about him joining Man Utd, but as Weld_El_7aj said he is close to joining Madrid according to his agent.

Miralem Pjanic is one for the future (Y)

Meanwhile we are strengthening our defense and about time.. word is Cana is next Wenger wants.. He wanted Melo but Melo doesn't want to leave his club.. I still hope we sell Ade and get a better striker than him plus a winger..

Spuds meanwhile want Maxi Rodriguez..

Olivier Blanc, from OL just denied the news that appeared on the spanish papers in L'equipe, he said that OL got a offer close to what Marca told, 35m? but didn't said from which club.

well, knowing how OL presindent is, he'll get more than 35m? for a good 21y-o player.

He has gone to Real Madrid now, 35 million euros, which could rise to 41 million euros.

Real Madrid's attackers now:

Kaka,

Ronaldo,

Benzema,

Raul,

RvN,

Guti,

Sneijder,

Van der Vaart,

Huntelaar,

Robben,

Negredo,

Higuain,

It will be interesting to see how they fit them all in ;)

I'm sure Liverpool will beat them 5-0 again next season :p

I think the more interesting thing will be if Real Madrid don't win the League/CL :laugh:

ATM anything can happen.. they are not investing in defenders to match their attack.. they can win 5-4 or lose 4-0..

What I'm saying is if they don't win, or don't at least reach the CL final it's going to be "embarrassing" for them after wielding around all that money without a care in the world.

And I agree mate.. anyways.. guess who Man U are looking at to replace Ronaldo?

Michael Owen would not have been the name on most people's lips when suggestions were mooted as to how Sir Alex Ferguson could reinforce Manchester United's depleted forward line, following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, and the imminent exit of Carlos Tevez, probably to Manchester City.

Not only is Owen an icon at United's fierce Lancashire rivals Liverpool, but he has also endured a spate of injuries during his time at Newcastle United and, prior to that, at Real Madrid, something which has seen him lose his place in the England squad.

However, Sky Sports News is reporting that it "understands" that "tentative" talks have begun between Owen's representatives and United, after bookmakers' odds on a likely move fell from 20/1 this morning to an astonishing 9/4 on this evening.

Yes! Thats right! its Owen.. :blink: They started with Ribery then Benz and now Owen.. thats like wanting to buy a Ferrari and settling for a Nissan Micra..

Come..... A?Nissan Micra is more reliable than Micheal Owen.

Chelsea Football Club can confirm it has completely rejected an offer from Manchester City for John Terry.

It was made clear to City, for the second time following an approach last season, that we would not entertain any conversation on the subject.

At that time John also reiterated his total commitment to Chelsea.

We would like to make clear, and will not do so again, that John is not for sale.

HAHA :D

Come..... A?Nissan Micra is more reliable than Micheal Owen.

Its strange.. on one hand Madrid are buying great players who United want and these players are rejecting United to go to Real and then we have United who want to buy a striker that Madrid sold (or rejected.. if that helps get the point across) because he was not performing..

ATM I'm honestly not worried abt United next season.. with this squad they are no better than Everton.. maybe Fergie learnt smth from AW and wants to give his young players more chances next season.. in that case he should also rem that we are trophee-less for 4 seasons.. but will end this season :))

Edited by Kralik

Reminds of Fergie getting Bosnich to help negotiations with Barthez. You buy someone on the cheap/free so you don't come across as *needing* the player you want and so don't get held to ransom.

As for Benzema he said last year he'd never come to england so I never expected him to join us.

Wow, he's taking a 50% pay cut to join us! He's being offered ?50k a week plus huge bonus for appearances and goals. He's gotta pass the medical first, which could take place today.

I think at Man U, Owen might have a chance to get back into the limelight. If he works with the best (like he did at Liverpool), then he should play like the best.

An ex-Evertonian and an ex-Liverpudlian up front for Man Utd next season.

I hope he falls crashing on his face the money grabbing ******.

Owen played really well for Madrid.

I hope he passes the medical and does something for his career at Man United to be quite honest. I hate Man United, but Michael Owen was my favorite footballer as I was growing up and getting into football.

I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do, Fergie wouldn't sign him if he knew he was utter crap. (Y)

Jumping the gun a bit, aren't you? He's taking a 50% pay cut to join United.

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
