2011 Summer Transfer Window

Paul Konchesky is gone to Leicester. Bridge would be hilarious, well past his best which was limited anyway.

Bridge, oh Jesus. I’d take Emiliano Insua back and stick him left back rather then have Bridge there.

Bothroyd to QPR.
Riise to Fulham.
R. Johnson to Wolves
Konchesky to Leicester.

All of the above transfers have now been formally completed.

Presume that’s the Sno to Genoa story is it? Can’t access it here. Good to see him continuing his career anyway.

Chelsea being linked to Cheik Tiote.

I may have said this before but I think he’s class.

Axel Witsel should complete a move to Benfica in the coming days, he’s been linked with some big clubs in the recent past, surpised to see him moving to Benfica in the end.

I saw him linked to Roma over the weekend too - how good is he?

Not really sure mate, haven’t seen much of him. A big athletic midfielder who puts in the hard yards and has a bit of technique about him, by all accounts. Benfica are a very shrewd club in the transfer market and still possess a very strong squad despite losing the likes of Di Maria, David Luiz, Coentrao and Ramires in the past 12 months.

Downing fee agreed.

£20m Stg, good luck Stewie ha ha.

20M? :lol:

:lol:

Unbelievable price for scrap these days. Is it Camoli, or whatever his name is, that’s doing the negotiating for L’pool? I’d hate to see him buying a car.

Do Fenway Sports Group have an unlimited budget or what?

They tried to sell the exorbitant Carroll fee last January by spinning a tale about how their strategy was to pay a maximum of £15m less than what they recouped for Torres.

So they were happily telling everyone that £35m was okay and not ridiculous because they got £50m in themselves.

Trouble is the precedent it’s set. Because every time they go in for a player they’ll be met with ‘eh, you paid £35m for Carroll so that means our player is worth at least X.’

And ‘X’ has been very, very high for Henderson and Downing.

More crazy money considering what £20m could get you if you looked outside England.

I am concerned about Daglish and Comolli’s transfer policy.
It seems insane, €40m spent and the squad not really strenghtened.

Considering they had Meireles and Aquilani on the books I thought the purchase of Charlie Adam was rather strange as well. Granted Aquilani could well be loaned out again but Adam has one season wonder written all over him

Most reports suggest Meireles wants out of Liverpool.

£83m for Adam, Carroll, Henderson and Downing :angry:

:lol:
