Hulk's buyout is ridiculous. Porto made out like thieves if that's true. He was valued at 30 million euros at the start of the summer, signed a new deal with the team and then re-valued for 45 million.
The trickle down effect of big money in the world continues. City buys Aguero from Madrid, Madrid takes that money and buys Falcao from Porto, now time to watch Porto buy 2 or more players with that money from smaller clubs.
Sounding like a done deal, great move for George if this happens. He could see time soon if Blackburn sells Samba. Also looks like Blackburn is after quasi Yank Abroad, Vedad Ibisevic, of Hoffenheim. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.u...vers_boss_closing_in_on_trio_of_new_signings/
Hate to see an American go there because they are bound to get relegated this year especially if they sell Samba.
Probably not. I think they have till 12:00pm (BST) on Friday for him to be able to play on Monday. I do not think the paperwork will be completed by that point.
Gotcha. Would be nice if playing @ Old Trafford wasn't our first game of the season. With the shape of United's back line and De Gea's unsteadiness it isn't impossible though.
Tony Wonder just posted in our thread, but apparently there's talk that Aly Cissokho could join before Fulham next Sunday
Aqua to Milan on a free loan...... 6m to buy after the season split between 3 years. Thanks Liverpool
fucking bullshit Roma should have bought him back for that price with the disaster that is Roma's midfield right now
Joey Barton is in London for talks with QPR. Bolton are on the brink of signing Shaun Wright Phillips on a permenant move and Dedryck Boyata on loan. Atletico has given Forlan permission to talk to Inter ahead of a move. Liverpool's Dani Pacheco is on the move to Atletico on loan for the season
Galliani said our market is closed :( He also said that before we bought Ibrahimovic and Robinho last year
Spurs signed 18-year old Frenchman El-Hadji Ba. Never heard of him, TBH. Looks like we're on the brink of signing both Diarra and Adebayor.
Heard we are only required to buy if he plays 25 games...also we will pay 2.5m of his salary and Pool will pay 1.5m
For a club that averaged an amazing 10K fans per game last year too. This contract is potentially far more damaging than over inflated transfer fees.
Can't see how any player in the world could pass that kind of money up. He is going to crush that league. But will never be relevant in the soccer world again.
Yep, can't blame Eto'o This made me laugh though: "Outside of finding a place to keep all that money, Eto'o will have a few more serious concerns. Like the fact that Anzhi players live and train in Moscow for security reasons and must fly 1,250 miles 15 times a season for "home" matches, according to the BBC."
@Joey7BartonJoseph Barton Going for a medical now, still no contract offer from NUFC.......think that just about makes my mind up.
So we get to face Barton 3 times this year. Not feeling good about this but Barton v Frimpong should be very interesting.
Just a question, when there are things like "so and so is valued at x amount of euros blah blah" who is it that is setting this value?
Someone hacked mirror football twitter and tweeted Man U signed Sneijder . I guess they are signing players at 5 am now.
