Official Summer Signings / Rumours / Info Thread

For me think it is clearly United. Heir apparent to giggs and all that.

 

would the tight arse Moyes pay the 80m+ the Spuds want for him?

 

United won't spend that much on Bale, surely it has to be City or PSG?

 

ok done for the week talk to you guys on the weekend.... if you are lucky well might sneak on for the match on tuesday

 

BR had his press conference yet?

 

Man Utd would make sense but there is no way they would pay that amount of money out on one player nowadays. More likely Chelsea IMO. They've been after Rooney all summer for the CF/AM role, Bale can play there too (as can Mata but...)

I don't think it will be Man City but if it is then that would push them up another level IMO

 

Yeah, someone posted a the video on the Notts County matchday thread.

He states that we haven't bid for Bale as we don't have that much money.

After jokingly being asked if we were the rival club bidding for Bale, his words are "I can categorically state that its not us, we don't have that money"

 

And that was the only question?

 

Could Spurs get Mata in return?

 

Watch the video

Edit: he says Borini is better at freekicks than C.Ronaldo

 

Have we signed anyone else yet?

 

Busy atm, otherwise I would.

 

Desailly was never great! Plus who gives a toss who wins the French league - not even the French

 

Absolute nightmare with that shout. Unbelievable actually.

Bale has signed for 133 million dollars ( not sure what that is in pounds). That is also unbelievable.

 

TBF, you don't even need to watch it, just put it on and listen

 

There's a bloke called 'Macca' who does the rounds on a few other footballing sites, usually posts very reliable info about LFC and seems genuinely 'in the know' through first team player links. Latest from him is that Suarez is set to sign a new contract (no idea if higher wages or not) with a release clause (I would assume it comes into effect next summer though not sure on the amount). Basically, we get guarantees that he'll perform to his best for a season (otherwise no one would be willing to pay the fee) and we guarantee he can leave next summer to any bidding club of his choice.

He also claims that we rejected a bid from Real which was lower than what Arsenal offered.

I'd expect another bid from Real this week still though, always said they'll bid in the last week.

Thoughts?

 

If true, I hope there is a non-English club stipulation in said clause.

 

Needs to make sure he reads it properly this time

 

Hope so too, but unfortunately he's not quite privvy to the finer details...

You'd like to think that after statements this summer about not wanting to sell to a rival, we'd push through something like that, even if it meant a slightly lower release fee for foreign clubs.
