The Transfer Thread

Re: The Transfer Thread

yeah, i heard oriol romeu was going on loan at celta vigo, that's why i didn't include him.

you're also forgetting their latest edition of schurrle. plus, they are also rumored with van ginkel and sneijder.

all i'm saying is that it's a lot of midfielders and it's not out of the realm that someone will be unhappy with playing time. but apparently i'm blowing it out of proportion.

I don't think you're blowing it out of proportion. Mata & Hazard will be hard to get off the field so that's 2 slots. It really depends on what formation Mou rolls out.

If we go 4-3-3 it will probably be:

Hazard/Schurrle - Torres/Ba/Lukaku - Mata/Oscar/Moses

Ramires/De Bruyne - Mikel/Essien - Lampard/Oscar

That is a lot of competition. Now, Torres & Mikel could be gone, maybe even Ba which would mean Lukaku would be up top unless a big-time ST is brought in.

Our problem has been holding possession in MF & lapses on defense. Even with Torres & Ba misfiring the goals will come from other places (Mata, Hazard, Lamps, etc...). It's been the inability to transition from defense to attack that has put added pressure on our backline.

Accounting for injuries and the ACN too much depth is not a bad thing. United made it work so I'm confident Mou will too.

While he most definitely would win any Gary Coleman look-a-like contest, the guy is actually a fantastic centerhalf and I'm extremely happy with getting Okore.

Played extremely well against Chelsea in a Champions League fixture.

You should be very happy with Okore and Helenius, any chance you could bid for Grindheim, Wiland, and Cesar Santin away from København? Maybe give Viborg a shot at the title? (Lol it would take more than that) If someone could snatch Frederik Rønnow from Horsens and David Ousted from OB goalscoring may become easier...

Re: The Transfer Thread

Read something on twitter (so take that for what it's worth) about talks between Liverpool and Sunderland about Mignolet. Would be a nice pickup if he could come to Liverpool. I have been a fan of his.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Yeah we've been linked with him for a while now. The asking price I've heard is about £9m. The future of Pepe Reina is not certain as he's been linked with a move back to Spain with Barcelona for quite a while now. He's been a good servant to the club but his form has dipped the last few seasons for me. I wouldn't grumble at Mignolet taking his place as he's a fine young goalkeeper and only 25 years old.

You can say that again.

Re: The Transfer Thread

On the Sky Sports ticker:

La Liga champions Barcelona are getting ready to splash the cash on Fernando Torres, Graham Hunter told Sky Sports News. It was reported on Thursday that the Spanish giants were set to offer £17m to Chelsea - £33m less than the British record transfer fee that Liverpool received two years ago from the London club. "It is a well-sourced story," said the Spain-based journalist.

Madness...

People just need to accept that Ronaldo will not be coming back.

I don't think Sporting CP has the money to make that happen.

very funny


On another note, it seems that Luis Suarez will most likely leave the EPL, I say good riddance.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Ancelotti is on his way to Madrid. Should be announced in the next day or two. PSG is going to be announcing Fabio Capella as their next head coach as AVB turned them down.

So with the hiring of Ancelotti, Higuain's transfer to arsenal is only a few days away. Madrid wanted to announce the signing of their coach before they sold any players

Re: The Transfer Thread

Decided to do a LA LIGA career mode with FC Barcelona. One of my mates puts controversy on me for signing only "star players over young developing players". I signed Neymar of course because he just got signed in real life and I added Juan Mata to the squad as well. I'm doing a formation which includes 2 strikers and so far through about 10 games into LA LIGA I'm undefeated with no draws or losses and Neymar has about 15 goals while Messi has about 19. While other players are still contributing I'm averaging about 4-3 wins or in some cases 6-2 wins. What do you think about my transfer and career so far which I believe I've scored 25 goals during this span so far including competitions.
