Summer 2014 Transfer rumour thread - Part III

Valentin Stocker is going to Hertha Berlin.

 

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
****.

 

Just curious but is that quite a lot of academy/youth players being released this year? It seems like a fair few to me but maybe it's like that each year.

 

Round about the same every year.

 

Thanks. With all the talk / concern re our best players going the one thing that never fails to excite is seeing who from the academy will establish themself as a successful first team player next year.

 

Well Liverpool have signed Emre Can. Plays a different position to Lallana, but nonetheless that's an addition to their midfield and a chunk out of their budget.

 

Regarding Liverpools transfer policy, they have a great attacking threat so why are they being linked wit so many attacking midfield players when in fact their defence needs a complete revamp
To buy in a top quality defence i.e. two full backs and two centre backs will cost them £50-100m so spending heavily on Adz and others will simply mean they will not win the perm next year unless they sure up at the back
Keegan proved that simply going out to try and out score the opposition doesn't work especially with the likes of Chelsea

 

I agree, and they will get a nice chunky fine from Uefa next year if they got on a shopping spree. Unless they are expecting Suarez to go...

 

Nice.

 

I don't mind if Adam goes any more, I've used Braga on FIFA a couple of times now so I'm sufficiently convinced Rafa Silva is a future legend.

 

Don't know what his personality is like, but Campbell could fit in well here and give us another option upfront

Not sure about Campbell. Inconsistent for me.

 

If we brought in two attackers (by attackers I mean guys who can play the Lambert, Rodriguez and Lallana roles) and Campbell was the lesser of the two I'd be okay with it but if he was our main attacking signing I think that would be a bit underwhelming.

 

The only forward I really want (realistic targets anyway) is Danny Ings however if Cambell was a good price I would see the logic of getting him as something a bit different to bring off the bench to try and get a goal

 

City want to get shot of Scott Sinclair. Could be tempted to a family re-union.

 

his season at west brom doesn't inspire confidence

 

I've never been a fan of his; not sure why.

 

Because he's like Andros Townsend. Catches the eye but no end result.

 

Yes, probably. A little too greedy for my liking and he's also with that young lady from one of the soaps; that has to count against him somewhere.

 

Oh no, even the kids are being nicked.

Does anyone know if these lads were released or genuinely nabbed and if they were any good?
