Transfer Window - Summer 2008

The latest rumours spreading around the press is that Stewart downing is preparing for a move to Liverpool. The Middlesbrough winger is apparently having Spanish lessons ahead of a possible transfer !!

Benitez mentioned that Arsenal are talking to Liverpool about Alonso - all I can say is don’t do it Rafa…[/quote]

Totally agree. If he has to go, then it should be somewhere foreign. Selling him to Arsenal will undoubtedly come back to bite Liverpool in the ass.

I still think Gareth Barry wouldn’t be any improvement on Alonso.

Alonso would be the final piece in the Gooners jigsaw.

Was happy to see Helb fook off (1 goal and 1 assist last season)… Flamini played above himself last season and Denilson will be far better, Gilberto’s legs were gone, Sylvester will be great back up instead of SenderDros, Nasri looks a class act, Walcott will be great this year, VanPersie fit is like a new signing… all good really down ashburton way !!

kompany has loads of petenial…mourinho was trying to sign him from anderlecht a few years ago as he saw his class but kompany chose hamberg as he knew he would get first team football…think hamberg were in the champions league the same year…he is a big strong abrasive centre half who is quick on his feet in the marcel descailly mold…

Kompany is a decent signing, now we have Kompany, Dunne, Richards, Haim, Ball, Corluka, Garrido, Onouha at the back, no harm to have some back up. This whole Thaksin thing stinks and we’re in serious bother I think. This is going to be some meltdown.

Every Club in the world knows Pool have around 16 mill buring a hole in their pocket, whats the bets that whoever they sign will cost around that?

Djibril Cisse has signed for Sunderland on loan for the season !!

Real tell Chelsea - Robinho yours for 32M. (Guardian)

robinho had a great season for madrid last year but he seems a bit light and inconsistent to me…don’t think i would pay 32 million for him when you could get the likes of david silva, ricardo quaresma or jesus navas(granted he wouldn’t leave due to his shyness/anxiety problems) for around the 20 million mark and i wouldn’t say robinho is miles better than them

I think Robinho is vastly over-rated. West Brom have signed a guy from Real Mallorca today for a decent fee - dunno if he’s any good. Kompany’s move to Manchester City has also been completed.

Robinho could be killed in the Premiership. Still I’d like to see him try. I hear Mutu has been told to play Chelsea 17 million, that should help the deal.

Not sure whether this has gone through or not yet but last week the talk was that Dortmund were selling Petric to Hamburg in exchange for Zidan and some cash. Two of my favourite non Celtic players but hate Hamburg so happy to see Dortmund get the better end of the deal IMO.

[quote=“farmerinthecity”]Think we have only one point here now - number 1.

Would not have seen a great deal of him outside Liverpool but I don’t think that takes away from my view. I saw him play for Liverpool for 1 and a half seasons and thought he was muck. He originally started up front but was moved onto the wing because he was having no effect in the centre. Nver saw anything in him to suggest that he was anything other than useless.

We’ll see how he gets on with Sunderland.[/quote]

hes got off to a flyer anyways

Berbatov looks to be off to United after being left out today after not being focused enough. Berbatov cant wait to leave.

Setanta were reporting earlier that the Barry to Livepool deal is definitely off. I’d be welcoming that if I was a Liverpool fan and most of the Lpool fans on here seem to be of the same opinion - i.e. Alonso’s the better player.

Emile Heskey is somewhat bizzarely being linked with a move to Spurs Today.

Back in the England squad and now being linked to a top 6 club, things are looking up for the often derided Heskey.

not sure if spurs fans would be happy with that although he has done well at wigan

Can’t remember the names but some Portugese guy with some Russian team has been transferred to Zenith St.Petersberg for 20 odd million, so that lets the other Ruski, who was dropped for ZSP last game al Berbs, go to Spurs. Spurs can sell Berbs and we all live happily ever after. I really could get the names but too lazy.

Speaking of Lazy, Baby Rio is off to Sunderland. Good riddance but Curbs should still go. MBB, didn’t see the game yday but your boys gave us one hell of a beating. Whammers will do well to win the 3rd tier of the EPL, over paid bunch of primas with a shit manager.

I can confirm that Aguero has knocked up Maradonnas daughter. Argentina is uncontactable at present due to the celebrations.

Angie Bests dad wasn’t exactly Maradonna
