This was a solid website last year: http://www.sportinglife.com/football/transfer_centre/ Compiles all of the rumors from all the British papers. I like it for the transfer ins and outs on either side of the page.
Was actually going to make a thread, but was curious on how everyone would feel about it. Apparently he's one of Lille's top players and getting him for 5m is a steal
IronLung, he's 25. Rumors today said Gervinho deal is done. Not believing til I see an official announcement
A few days ago Dortmund signed Ivan Perisic from Club Brugge. He was the leading scorer in the Belgian league as a midfielder this season. He's 22 and has just broken into the Croatian NT. Given Dortmund's recent track record, he will probably be a star in a year or two.
dortmund is a sick club... just started learning about them the past couple years so i dont wanna just jump on the bandwagon when they win the league (plus i kind of had werder bremen and hamburg as my top two choices to start cheering for) but i love the way they run things and their fans/stadium is badass. still dont really have a bundesliga team i pledge allegiance to though
Michael Mancienne close to Hamburg switch All but a done deal. He's spent the last 5 seasons on loan, playing for QPR for 2 and Wolves for 3.
Newcastle are after Berbatov and Demba Ba Tottenham want to sell Modric for 20m Friedel looks to be off to either Tottenham or Liverpool Ashley Young has been priced to United for 16m Chelsea were offered Zenit defender Bruno Alves in a swap for Alex Cabaye deal is being finalized with Newcastle for 4m
Supposedly Ashley Young has agreed to come to Old Trafford, but the reports seem premature to say for sure.
Seems like today out of nowhere Tottenheim is now willing to sell their whole roster. Arry must be :nebraskafans: or is like im going to chelski
really want him at arsenal.. would be a cheaper alternative to hazard and im not convinced hazard is really all that much better

I'm going to be so pissed if we sell modric. If we sell him for less than €30 m I'll be even more irate. He's worth way more to our team than bale who no one is going to come close to his asking price, injury or not.
But seriously, fuck that. Agree with you totally BH. Would rather cut Bale loose for 35-40 if we can get it and invest in 2 or 3 solid additions than get rid of Luka. I don't want to get rid of either, but if I had to it would be Bale. He doesn't contribute as much overall as Luka and he would get a higher price for us to invest with.
Newcastle really seems to be getting after it this transfer season. Could see them challenging for a top 7-8 finish if they make things happen.
Really hoping we can get Gervinho and Ba. If we can get them, and Ben Arfa comes back, we have a chance at Europa
It would be huge if we could get Enrique to resign. Add one more solid defender and we could be on our way.
Barton Rumor: fur10ng NUFC agree 4.5m fee with Liverpool.......... More to follow, you heard any @joey7barton? we dont want you to go!
Fur10ng PMF For those who keep doubting source. I work within the BBC. There!! Happy now same guy stating we'll get gervinho and n'zogbia
i think he'd be crushed due to us selling them two, being as they're key players, more than because it's at pool
Fur10ng PMF Gervinho says his decision is made for personal reason. Doesnt point to football reasons which CL would be! could be good for us. He's good friends with Cabaye and Tiote
Damn your quick. Starting to get excited even though I know better. Going to be absolutely gutted if it's not us.
