Non-City transfer rumours

Well there's a shock. Their squad list is looking more and more like a Medici's menu.

 

Watford cheating has got worse

They are getting Udiense to buy players and then sell them to Watford on frees straight away to cover up costs for FFP

 

You seem disgusted by this but seemed perfectly happy with the notion that your owners would dodge the FFP rules. Double standard perhaps?

 

Our spending will still go through our accounts. It will still be their for all to see, we not hiding the spending in another clubs accounts

Watford could upset HMRC if they are cheating the accounts

 

Just seen 3 big stories on the BBC Sport page:

Christian Benteke has withdrawn his transfer request.

Stefan Jovetic has been confirmed as a Man City player - £22m.

Tito Vilanova has stepped down as Barca manager due to his ongoing treatment for illness (He had a throat tumor removed in Nov 2011)

 

I was actually thinking that Watford having almost zero costs for buying players was something HMRC would quite like, it means their revenue isn't being reduced by expenses as much as it should be so there'll be more corporation tax due. If they choose to spend the money on wages for those players they'll be getting 50% on most of the extra amount which would be even better.

 

Bloody hell.

Paris Saint Germain have just signed 19-year-old Brazilian defender Marquinhos for £27m.

Unbelievable. I've never even heard of the bloke.

 

There are clearly a number of football clubs who now have more money than sense.

 

I think they are just spending for the 'ell of it.

They have so far spent £97.5m on 3 Players. Un-****ing-believable.

 

Man City have spent £90m on four! We've spent £6m on 7 players haha.

 

Real Madrid are rumoured to be offering Liverpool £20m + Higuain for Suarez

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...offer-Liverpool-20m-plus-Gonzalo-Higuain.html

 

If that were true, Liverpool should snap their hand off at that deal.

£20m and Higuain is much better than £0m and Suarez.

 

Spurs have agreed a deal for FC Twente winger Nacer Chadli for a fee thought to be about £7m.

 

Don't know why the bid was rejected lol


17 Jul 2013
Manchester United yesterday lodged a bid for former Arsenal man Cesc Fabregas.The fee offered to Barcelona is believed to be in the region of £25 however Barcelona immediately rejected the offer however it's unclear whether United will make a second bid for the Spanish International...

 

They already have made a second bid, £30m.

 

Arsenal could be set to finally firm up their interest in Swansea captain Ashley Williams as Wenger searches for defensive reinforcements.
If Williams does go, Swansea will turn to Espanyol's Mexican defender, Hector Moreno, to replace the Welshman.
Nigel Adkins wants to be reunited with Rickie Lambert at Reading and is set to make a bid for the Southampton favourite.
Meanwhile, Saints are turning their attentions to Roma striker Pablo Osvaldo in a second attempt to lure him to the South Coast club.
Liverpool have joined Tottenham in the race for Valencia striker Roberto Soldado as Spurs reportedly had a bid rejected for the Spaniard.
This sparks more rumours that Luis Suarez will leave Liverpool this summer and the club awaits more bids from Arsenal and possibly Real Madrid.
West Ham are interested in bringing Scott Parker back to the club as long as they are able to land a striker first.
Newcastle have launched a £15M double raid on France to secure the signings of Andre Pierre-Gignac and Bafetimbi Gomis.
HSV Hamburg are interested in taking Everton striker Nickcia Jelavic to Germany and are readying a bid.
Fulham are in discussions over a move for Evian midfielder Mohammed Rabiu as manager Martin Jol looks to secure 'one or two' more signings this summer.
Ian Holloway is considering whether to offer two trialists, Quincy Owusu-Abeyie and Atdhe Nuhiu, permanent deals at Selhurst Park.
Crystal Palace are also considering an approach for Sunderland's David Vaughan. Holloway managed the Welshman at his former club, Blackpool.
Cardiff, Crystal Palace and Doncaster have all registered their interest in signing unwanted Norwich defender Leon Barnett.
Hull are closing in on the signing of Ivorian striker Yannick Sagbo for £3.5M.
Stoke City are preparing an official bid for ex Man United and current Hannover striker, Mame Diouf.
Sunderland's French midfielder is wanted in Turkey with former club Bursaspor interested in taking him back.
Manchester United will wait until January to decide whether Wilfried Zaha should go out on loan. David Moyes plans to keep him in the first team to access his progress so far.
Finally, Didier Drogba could be set to return to Chelsea next season as a player/coach.

 

Josh Windass, son of our most legendary figure, is having a trial at Accrington Stanley. Good luck to him.

 

An early chance to see who has spent wisely may i suggest ?

Dont forget that Brady and Meyler are a part of our summer spending so that would make almost £10m spent.

When you consider that Cardiff City have signed just one new player so far and for £7.5m it is interesting for sure.

 

Surely their funds went into last seasons budget as we got them in January?
