Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread

I don't know if I'm pleased or not about this news! Massive pre-season coming up for him.

 

Make or break, especially with the competition there.

Pleased he's going to fight for his place here

 

Think he could still turn out to be a great asset.

 

So it looks like either he wasn't signed for this season or it's another case of the Tadanari Lee "Sold a lie" situation and he's been replaced before even getting his feet under the table.

Assuming this information is true.

I don't expect transparency, but the bull**** that comes out of the club at times is disheartening.

 

Would seem to put the lie to the notion that he wasn't expected to contribute until this season.

 

The quotes are from Forren & Solksjaer themselves.

 

The information that he was signed for this season came via Forren's agent didn't it?

are they all signing from the same hymn sheet?

edit: lol signing.

 

We agree in lambert then. Good

 

Yep, I think it was agreed that he wouldn't play till this season.

The most recent quotes from Forren & his old manager Solksjaer seem to back this up as well.

 

but the club want to loan him out. fishy.

 

Not so sure it's the club ... seems that his old manager spoke to Forren without ever making an official bid.

 

how can you turn down a loan move that your club aren't offering?

that's like me turning down england caps. (no bad example, can't be arsed to fix it)

 

I don't think we ever accepted a bid to loan him out, Molde only enquired and were told no by both the club and player. At least that's the impression I got from the Echo's story (not sure whether the club were even asked about his availability).

I would have liked to have seen us sign Andreas Cornelius who has signed for Cardiff, would have been good competition for Lambert, and a good potential replacement. 6ft 4in, and according to the BBC very good technically, also at the age of 20, I don't think he'd have expected to play every game, and would have accepted being a sub with a start every few games for the first season, much like Rodriguez the season just gone. The only downside I read about was that he's been dubbed the 'New Bendtner'

 

Now i'm encouraged.

That makes the world of difference.

 

I know what your saying, but I interpreted it as Solsksjaer asked Forren if he'd be interested, and whether they'd take it further between the clubs ... Forren turned that down. If that makes sense?

 

agent enquiry only then. which gives no direct indication whatsoever about the club's intentions, except that forren feels he stands a chance.

fair enough.

slow news day.

 

Here's the Forren article. You can decide for yourself.

Word on the street is that we've bid 20m Euros for Leandro Damiao.

Chelsea are apparently after John Ruddy. That doesn't really make sense for anybody involved.

 

Bloody hell, if that's true then we're certainly not afraid to splash the cash.!?!
