Summer Transfer Window 2013

I find it hard to believe that after all that effort, he would walk away from Barcelona so quickly. Or maybe it is that much of a cunt of a club he cant wait to get out.

Atletico Minero youngster Bernard is being strongly linked with Dortmund today. He’d be a replacement for Goetze, could play in any of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1.

Bild reports that Schalke have signed German wonder kid Leon Goretzka from Bochum for €4m

German Football seems to be where its at these days.

Someone should really do that lad a favour and tell him to stick an “inho” or something on the end of his name or he’ll never amount to much.

Christian Eriksen appears to have ruled out a move to Borussia Dortmund or the EPL. He says the latter is declining while it rains too much in both countries so he’d prefer Spain.

Eriksen is a Roma fan and his idol is Totti.

Bild are reporting that Mario Gomez will join Napoli

He’ll be a terrific foil for Luis next season.

David Luiz to Barca looks as though it is a runner. €30 million being reported as the fee

David Pizarro to return to Man City

Looks as though Strootman is heading to United.

As a big fan of this lad I am very disappointed if this turns out to be the case

I read somewhere that there’s bad blood between Jose and Luiz? He’d be a splendid signing for Barca, a player who was never appreciated by the kick and rush merchants of the BPL.

a lot of talk that Benitez wanted to bring him to Napoli as well. Looks as though Barca have won out though, should be a good fit there

Himself and Puyol can share hair tips.

Jesus Navas to Man City appears to be a done deal according to Sid Lowe.

Chelsea bidding 18m Euro for De Rossi according to Gazetta Dello Sport.

Interesting.

Could be a great move for Club and player. It would be interesting to see Rooney work with a manager who would treat him properly. Wenger could be just what he needs, could be a Tony Adam’s’esque reinvention for the englishman.

:eek:
