Summer 2012 Transfer window thread

The Barclays Premier League has gone crazy about Eden Hazard.

Bayern have taken a leaf out of the huns’ transfer strategy from last summer and have turned down the opportunity to bid for Giroud according to the German media.

Giroud looks like a top class striker and he could have been ours!

Breaking news this evening that Swansea are hot on the trail of Jermaine Beckford.

Looks as though Drogba will be leaving Chelsea and heading to China next season

I will derive slightly less utility from the Barclay’s Premier League™ product next season if the Drog is not around.

How many can ya get?

  1. My Italian football knowledge really let me down.

61 same re Italy.

Couldn’t for the life of me remember Pastore.

84 for me. Can’t believe that I forgot Vieri and Anelka :shakefist:

I forgot those as well. Also, failed to get the likes of Adebayor and Fabregas. I played with the timer on and didn’t stop in the 15mins, got a meagre 61.

Juventus are now being linked with a move for Edin Dzeko if their attempt to sign RVP fails.

Shay Given is being linked with a move to QPR

United making a big play for Leighton Baines, a serious marker being laid down.

In managerial news the great great Jose Mourinho has signed with Madrid until 2016, the dynasty starts here :clap:

Always preferred Dallas myself mate.

Where’d you see that MBB?

Rodrigo Palacio looks set to sign for Inter while Juventus are in pole position to buy Marco Verratti.

Miguel Delaney has a piece in the Examiner today about United’s business this summer.

Fergie wants to sign a defender, two attacking midfielders and a forward.

Utd have submitted bids for Hazard and Kagawa, it’s believed that if Hazard doesn’t come they’ll try for Modric. There have also been bids submitted for Baines, which should be accepted and the Polish striker for Dortmund, which has been rejected.

He also said that Fabio and Rafael may be on their way out of Old Trafford, not just on loan.

Someone over on Boards.ie claims that BBC Radio has reported that Lilles accepted a £32m for Hazard.

Its been rumoured Utd are going to pay 10M for Baines :o

Need something at left back after Evras average season.

Ferguson is hardly that much of a mad bastard he’d go another season without signing a central midfielder?
