Summer 2012 Transfer window thread

Yeah, loads of talk over the last few days … Skertel to City has also grown legs.

if the 20 million figure is accurate they should rip City’s arm off for it

Barnsley havd signed Egypian striker Mido. It is rumoured that Newcastle have made a 12 million bid for Luuk De Jong

Can’t see Roma selling him but Parma will, the two clubs have failed to come to an agreement yet and unless one is secured before 6pm this evening it will go to a blind auction. If Parma win they will most certainly be looking to get rid of him. Nervous times ahead for the forum Giallorossi,

I erroneously reported that Genoa had secured Destro’s full rights, Siena have actually taken up their 50% option in him which makes a transfer for him this summer more awkward. Mathieu Flamini is also on course for an embarrassing u-turn after rejecting Milan’s final offer to him and Milan confirming his exit, apparently he is supposed to have contacted Galliani and indicated a willingness to accept their offer. Galliani is a master negotiator, Didac Vila will return to Milan this summer after an impressive loan spell at Espanyol. Milan’s transfer business is pretty much concluded now.

Burak Yilmaz off to Lazio. Really impressive season for Trabzonspor (33 goals in 30 appearances) and looks like a cracking all-round player.

Mandzukic heavily linked with a move to Bayern in German soccer bible Kicker today.

The astute Steve Kean has completed the free transfer signing of Fulham captain Danny Murphy for his promotion chasing Blackburn Rovers side. :clap:

Arsenal have completed the signing of Olivier Giroud from Montpelier according to the French side

Heavily linked with a move for Leon Best as well

Terrific signing by Steve. A lot of knowledgeable football people were suggesting Murphy for the England squad and how they could have done with his leadership qualities and passing ability, as well as his penalty prowess last night. I expect the former Kop idol to be a huge hit at Ewood Park this coming season.

What happened between Roma and Parma regarding Borini?

We got him!

Looks like Flamini has renewed with Milan while Miguel Veloso is off to Dynamo Kiev.

Guillem Balague ‏@GuillemBalague
Drogba has got a clause that allows him to leave Shangai Shenhua for free if Barcelona came calling. He will meet the Spanish club tomorrow

Gulliem also saying Barca wont meet his demands either. Very strange one this,

Balague is an utter spoofer.

Paul Lambert is about to make his first signing

Moroccan midfielder Karim Al Hamadi from Feyenoord for about 2.8m euros

McLeish had already brought in Brett Holman from AZ Alkamaar.

We are being linked with former player Peter Whittingham too. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Lambert go for him, surprised no EPL club has signed him over the last couple of years

Good to see Lambert shopping outside britain . I was worried he was going to be the same as MON in his transfers.

Ben Smith @BenSmithBBC @c_mcintosh1 #LFC have not given up hope but they are not prepared to match Sigurdsson’s ‘astronomical’ wage demands. #Spurs favourites

If It’s true, let him off. The club got fucked over enough last summer, time a precedent was set.
