Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

Michu rumours really picking up

 

17 goals in 39 games would do for me!

 

Only place I've seen it is on that football rumours website...

 

Surprisingly, I agree with RLGB.

People are saying they're picking up but I'm seeing no reliable articles or tweets or anything about him.

I hope he does sign but I'll hold back on that for now.

 

Just did a search this is all I see: http://pasionfutbol.es/i/87/06/07/1...si-llega-un-buen-negocio-habra-que-estudiarlo



Michu: "Si llega un buen negocio habrá que estudiarlo"


Which roughly translates to:


Michu: "If you get offered a good deal, it will be studied"



And from a quick search of some Spanish sites - they seem to think Granada have an offer on the table for Michu, and Betis and Valencia are interested.

 

Isnt this guy linked with the big boys, cant see us signing him

 

His team just scraped survival in La Liga, so although his record is good, he doesn't have big club pedigree. Accoring to reports, he's not your classic very classy Spanish midfielder. He's more of a runner and a battler and someone who would suit a side like ours trying to avoid the drop and push on into mid-table. His team also need the money, so I don't think it would be out of our range.

 

Michu was one of the stand out performers from the "lesser" sides in La Liga last season (ie not Madrid or Barca). Really can't see him joining us, will probably go to another more established Spanish team.

 

I must admit that I have seen it on football rumours and various other poor footballing sites, maybe it's just everyone copying everyone else but it did keep popping up. You're right there are a fee clubs after him, bigger than us so it's as much unlikely than it is likely.

 

You're right,he's more of a collect the ball and run fella pretty powerful and good at finishing both on the ground and with his head. I'll post a vid If I find one.


There you go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh2JXKjj8-g&feature=related big fella looks strong although that penalty was dire

 

Does Pre season start on the 28th? just wondering because didnt Nigel say he expected a signing or two before then... Seems a bit quite for that to happen haha

 

I here he has a transfer release fee of around £4.9m I think, it might be a little lower. But he would certainly suit are style, he was linked with Man Utd/Liverpool, but United have signed Kagawa now and Liverpool have changed there manager and are looking at Sigurdsson, so it opens the door a little. BUT, as mentioned a hell of a lot of teams are after this guy so we shall see what happens.

 

Yep it starts on the 28th. We know what Saints are like, when it goes quiet - they're probably up to something!

 

Haha i used to think that but when you think of our last few transfers they havent exactly been the best kept secrets

 

I heard the Matt Phillips rumours are picking up.

 

really? Talk of Michu, but can't see anything on Phillips

 

Oh no I mean you sort of hear the name, or perhaps not hear the name. Then it goes quiet as with Rodriguez, then all of a sudden something is going on.

 

I think we should sign this german defender I got on FM beast!!!!!!!!!

 

Here's another one we can add to the list... Tomas Sivok from Besiktas, just been at the Euros with the Czech Republic. http://www.turkish-football.com/news_read.php?id=3091

 

And what a signing it was!!!
