Summer 2012 Transfer window thread

Limerick FC are thinking about making a bid for his services.

The Nazione newspaper has revealed the terms of Riccardo Montolivo’s proposed move from Fiorentina to Milan.

The Rossoneri have apparently already wrapped up negotiations for the midfielder who will join the club on a Bosman in the summer.

The Italian international has allegedly agreed a contract until 2016 with the Diavolo, where he will earn €2.5m a season.

Montolivo, 27, was offered an extension by the Viola on numerous occasions but opted against committing his future to the Franchi outfit.

The former Atalanta player has scored two goals in 28 League games so far this season.

Anyone sniffing around Hernanes tots? A few whispers that Liverpool are interested.

Yeah, seen that this morning. Not aware of any other interest, very good player but he has a tendency to drift in and out of games and can be inconsistent.

Raul will leave Schalke on a free transfer at the end of the season. I hope he doesn’t fuck off to the UAE or wherever. He’s still got it and is more than good enough for a big club in one of Europe’s big leagues.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the likes of Malaga made a move for him

Would be a big surprise to see him return to Spain to play against his beloved Real. I’d be surprised. Wasn’t the US mentioned?

I believe he is moving to Al-Akthoum

Dzeko being linked with a move back to Germany today, Bayern and Dortmund both interested

Granit Xhaka looks set to be moving to Borussia Monchengladbach this summer. I’m surprised a more illustrious club isn’t in the market for a player of his potential, you may remember me talking up this young man prior to last summer’s European u-21 Championship.

Italian press reporting Milan have signed 27 year old Malian international midfielder Bakaye Traore on a free transfer and he will arrive in the summer when his contract expires with Nancy. Anyone got any supplementary information on him?

I see United are being linked with a move for Jordi Alba

Utd being linked with loads of left backs following Evra having a shit season. Alba would be a good signing but Cissokho seems more likely if someone is to be brought in which isn’t certain.

Paul Green will be leaving Derby County at the end of the season when his contract expires

Dzeko is on 150K at City, it’ll be some Club that shoulder that heft without a dig out from City.

A good Euros and Inter Milan could come in for him. Much like Gary Breen in 2002.

Chelsea have signed Marko Marin from Werder Bremen according to Sky. Excellent player from what I’ve seen. Maybe Totti or Rocko could give us more info on him?

I’ll let Rocko handle this one, from what I am aware of Marin was the big white hope of German football four or five years ago but has never fulfilled his potential. The little bits I’ve seen of him he is quick and incisive but his lack of body strength seems to his main weakness (no pun intended). It will be a crushing blow for my beloved Werder Bremen.

Not much to add to that. Hasn’t really progressed as expected but he’s a talented player with excellent close control who still has loads of potential if he kicks on.

City have supposedly made a move for Eden Hazard.

Utd are also poised to sign the Jap kagawa
