Transfer thread - summer 2015

A thread for the usual transfer stuff, without the distraction of a major tournament this summer...

Already signed one player, Memphis Depay, left winger from psv eindhoven, hopefully more to come. In particular a cb, rb a striker possibly if rvp and falcao leave.

I dread to think what shite we sign.

Godongman from Dortmund
Gareth bale (reportedly almost done)
Nathienal clyne (again reportedly almost done)
Matt hummels
And Harry Kane according to this mornings papers

Canny little shopping list for man utd.

For Sunderland, well depends on our new manager and what league we are in.

If United sign those, they'll have to lose some to meet financial fair play...

Falcao not returning. RVP to leave. Possibly do Maria also. And they have apparently over £200 in the bank to spent

Clyne changed his agent who was trying to persuade him to join United so it's looking like he will stay at Southampton. MEN saying LVG has changed targets. Apparently looking at Dani Alves who's on a free from Barca. Might need a keeper if DDG leaves which he probably will. Then again we do have Valdes who's a pretty good gk himself.

As for FFP i think we're ok. Champions league football next year helps us a lot.

FFP doesn't effect Man Utd, with the amount of money they generate.

the multi year Adidas kit deal kicks in for United doesn't it? On top of the BT Champions league deal and the new Premier League money and them being a huge brand anyway.

Will teams building new stadiums end up fucked though? It took Arsenal a few years to spend any significant money because of the Emirates and that was before FFP

Arsenal just wanted to pay the stadium off, now thats done they can spend, they won't spend whatever the board give them cos it's Wenger.

It does yes. We're going to get £750million from it, which is £75million a year. With champions league football secure and that new bt sports deal i'm not really sure but i'd say that adds another 20million? don't take that number seriously that's just a wild guess. If that's true that leaves us with 95mill to spend plus whatever the board gives LVG.

Yeah unless you're a big club i don't think most teams are going to bother building a new ground. a new ground would prob take away from any transfer budget and at the end of each season most teams feel the need to buy and sell to improve their squads. oh and what fergie said too

Daniel Alves and benzema to man United
Benteke and ings to Liverpool
Cattermole to stoke

Happy Wednesday

Benzema and Alves would be cracking signings but I doubt we'll get either. Benzema will prob stay and Alves will go to PSG.

Advocaat has said his main priority is to sign a left winger. Doesn't look good for Adam Johnson...

Also Virgil van dijk swap deal with Steven fletcher is doing the rounds. Can't see it. apparently fletchers wages is 30k a week more than celtics highest earner...

He's another cunt who looks decent in Scotland but will be found out big time in England.

Reports out today that Micah Richards will sign for Villa next week. If true, one hell of a signing...

Yup. We offered him 90k a week. Turned us down. Villa offered him 64k and has signed.

Not really a signing, but a re-signing. Exeter have got Christian Ribeiro, Player of the Year last season, to sign a new deal. Means he's turned down two offers at least from clubs in League 1 (Swindon) and the Championship (Birmingham).

I honestly can't remember the last time I was this optimistic for Exeter going into a new season. 3 signings already, including a damned good keeper (Bobby Olejnik), Lee Holmes who was awesome on loan last season, plus a kid from Brentford reserves who no-one knows much about. Some more bodies in defence, and we'll walk League 2.

Memphis Depay was confirmed during the week, so hopefully now a few more signings come in and we'll be challenging for the title. Been linked with Benzema recently who we want in a swap deal with De Gea. Would be a cracking signing. If we don't sign him I hope we don't do what we did last time, sign Michael Owen.

I doubt yous will sign Michael Owen

Sebastian Coates all but done. Just waiting for him to come back from the copa America. £3.5m

Carl jenkinson in on loan apparently too. We marched arsenals asking price of £2m - same as West Ham - but we offered to pay more of his wages.

We did it the first time

Falcao joins Chelsea on loan. I think this could be the signing of the season. I do believe this is mourinho playing mind games with van gaal as well. "look LVG, this is what I've done with one of the best players in the world, something you couldn't"

Petr cech wants to go to arsenal but chelaea want Alex Ox as a sweetener in return.

Sherwood has tables a bid for tom huddlestone. A player who needs to get his career back on track. Sherwood can bring the best out in players it seems.

Man utd still rumoured with Harry Kane and benzema. I think kane and rooney would be a great partnership but LVG won't platy 2 up front.

We want Benzema in any sort of deal for De Gea but madrid are saying no to that, if they keep saying no then we should tell them to do one. sick of madrid pinching our players for pennies. did it with ronaldo going to do it with de gea now too.

Liverpool should grab the reportedly £40M Man City are offering for Sterling, he's no where near worth that.
