[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.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
