[Football] Summer 2009 transfer thread

?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

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.

    • For me it has everything feature wise that I want. But boy the app sucks big time. This and Teams. Ever since they made the transition to WebView it has been slow AF. I mostly use both apps in the browser now because of too much memory being used by these 2 apps. Hoping that native versions are being worked upon.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
    • This would be the ideal scenario for the context menus
    • Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.
