Summer 2014 Transfer rumour thread

Who? Man City? They have Hart. Chelsea have Cech AND Courtois. Arsenal have Szczesny. Spurs have Lloris. Liverpool and Everton are the only teams who might be interested.

 

How good would it be if we beat Atletico to Courtois?

 

We can dream.

 

Question: if Chelsea offered Courtois for Shaw would you take that?

I would.

 

Nope

 

It took me a nanosecond to say no, but took me longer to type it. Shaw is just at the start of finding out who he could be....he also loves the club...you don't throw that out of the window for another player who may never do well here or never settle (#rememberosvaldo).

 

Not exactly world class.

It would be incredible. In the "not credible" sense

 

But they wouldn't swap him for Begovic. Szczesny is only 23 and will get better.

 

Oh right, no they wouldn't. Thought you were still talking about Forster for some reason. Not that he's world class either but you know. Szczesny doesn't really belong in the company of the others you listed, at any rate.

What is going to happen here?

 

Feel for him. We didn't see much of him...anyone have any opinions on Mayuka. I wondered if we shipped him out just to save wages, rather than him being hopeless. We've certainly does some strange things with players...look what happened with Sharp.

 

He never got a run of games for Saints, so in that sense it's disappointing for us fans as we didn't have enough to judge him on.

The fact he went out on loan playing in a role where we're not blessed with senior cover would suggest he is not considered part of our long term plans. When he came off the bench his pace made him a nuisance, but I never saw any great quality on the ball and I'm assuming in training he didn't impress Pochettino.

Not getting games for a Struggling French side won't help his cause. Think we will try and sell him in the summer to help the transfer budget.

 

I think that we should try and grab Berahino while he is unsettled: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26857805

Good left foot, pacey and still young.

 

Barcelona get a 18 month embargo on signing players, wonder how many other clubs will get similar bans or bans for falling foul of the new laws regarding foreign players

 

Yep. Cheeky bid. I just posted on other thread as I missed this here.

 

But also a pain in the arse in the dressing room and a drama queen before he's even done anything in his career. Last time we had someone like that, it didn't go so well.

 

and he hasn't really done much to justify the hype around him

 

Oh, I didn't know that, apart from the last incident... Move on then.

 

West Brom fan I know says if Morrison didn't give him a smack now it'd only be a matter of time until someone did. He's been known to have bitch fits on Twitter if he's left on the bench - not a great sign - and was sent home from a loan spell because he kept arguing with everyone.

 

Not for us then.
