Summer 2014 Transfer rumour thread - Part III

Dont think anything will happennow until after the World Cup. Players are mostly now in training camps.

 

We will be sitting here until the transfer deadline swearing, pulling our hair out and losing the will to live while waiting for something to happen....

 

Pochettino to Sunderland on a £14m contract. Jesus. Things are worse than I thought.

 

I agree....green is so last year.

 

I can finally do this, as I am now wearing a monochromatic shirt.

Luke Shaw to Napoli for £78m.

This thread reminds me of MySpace.

 

Well-crafted, thought-out and full of articulate posts?

 

Morgan seems to have been busy. Last night I had him down for a move to Tottenham, which I found an appalling prospect, though I doubt they could afford the 80 mill. Now it seems he's going somewhere between Inter Milan and Napoli. Roma, perhaps? Perhaps I'll follow him, I would happily spend a couple of years in the eternal city myself. Though as I've just renewed my season ticket at St Marys, perhaps not this year.

 

Callum Chambers sliced into three for a total of £58m, a piece each to Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal. I thought this was funny first time but it has got totally out of hand on #saintsfc!

 

After watching that Garrincha documentary, I popped across to Wiki to read up some details. In his heyday while on a tour of Europe with his club Botafogo, three Italian clubs - Inter, AC and Juventus proposed to purchase him and share him between them, one season at a time. The deal didn't go through and it has never been done before or since. Calum could make history.

 

Gotta laugh at these "ITK People"


The Official Agent™‏@_OfficialAgent_·35 mins
Unconfirmed reports that #Shaw is also in Manchester today and will meet #vanGaal later. That's huge. #SaintsFC #MUFC #Woodward #EPL

@_OfficialAgent_ #SaintsFC Hate to burst your bubble you Twat, but Luke is flying out with England Squad to Portugal for World Cup training

 

I like how he's also claiming to have beaten all media outlets to announcement that van Gaal is signing today, when the Guardian said that last week. Sad.

 

Now saintjeff missed a golden opportunity to string that agent fella along a little further; shame he pointed out the bleedin obvious to him.

 

Nah, I like the fact that he made an impact straight away. Sometimes it's best to string twerps along. Sometimes it's not. I think he got this one right.

 

If someone is trying to spread misinformation, the best way to deal with them is to expose them as quickly as possible.

 

Fierro to sign next week.

 

Rubbish. Is six minutes quick enough?

 

Lovren's been "insisting he is happy at Southampton" according to Sky: http://www1.skysports.com/football/...jan-lovren-insists-he-is-happy-at-southampton

Funny though, given his quotes and what some people on here think about the media, you might have expected the headline to be "Lovren issues come and get me plea to Liverpool".

 

perfect ptf !!

 

The UK press haven't got their hands on it yet.

 

Sky sports?

I'm sure the mirror et al will have a different take on it though, indeed.
