Arsenal finally using the gold credit card, sorry cheque book. Sanchez and Debuchy for £40m by the weekend being reported.
Sanchez is quality. Say what you like about barca, but they don't seem to make teams make silly bids for their players. Often look like very cheap aquisitions for other teams despite being top class. Absolute steal for arsenal.
Messi - Neymar and Suarez on paper looks a dream line up. But will it work so well on the green stuff ?? twt as always.
He spent a few of those seasons in league 1, but Jordan Rhodes must be worth about £15m relative to that fee (low of 16 in those seasons with a low of 25 in the championship - and only 24yo)
Former Saints striker James Beattie told SSN that he thinks that there could be big problems around the corner for the club now all the big name have gone or are about to go. I dont see Saints going down but like Newcastle they wont be in the top 10 come may 25th 2015. imo.
Yea he is always impressive even when I have watched him in the MLS. I suppose we could be one of the PL teams that have contacted Seattle about him. We are looking at people who play in his position. "Recent reports out of Italy claiming that a deal was already finalized with AS Roma were inaccurate, with sources telling Sporting News/Goal that Roma was one of several Serie A teams interested in Yedlin. Roma was not even the first Italian team to make a concrete offer for the Seattle Sounders man. That distinction goes to Genoa, which made the first tangible transfer bid for the fullback. Interest from La Liga has been added to the mix, with Spanish clubs approaching this week about signing Yedlin after his impressive showing at the World Cup, sources confirmed to Sporting News/Goal. Earlier reports out of England linking Yedlin to Liverpool have also proven to be untrue, though there are Premier League teams expressing interest. There have also been inquiries from Ligue 1."
Yea most mls players make almost nothing. Really only the players who have played in Europe are on big salaries. Back when I was in college there were 2 guys who were acquaintances of mine (they played football for another fraternity in the same fraternity league we played in). Anyway they both turned down offers from DC United because it was so little money that they would be looking at taking a salary cut even from what they were making while going to school.
He certainly would be a good addition, and if Lewis29 is right and he is only on $60,000 PA, then he would certainly not be an expensive addition, as he would surely get a big rise coming here, but still be very affordable.
****e excuse, Stuart Elliott scored 27 goals from the wing one season for us. By the way, I must say, well done in getting 11m for Ross, you've proper robbed Fulham there.
Not calling it an excuse, Gradel scored 20 goals from the wing for us not that long ago. But if you actually look at his assists you'll find that the seasons he didn't top our goalscoring charts, he topped our assist charts (barring his first season) and last season he did both. My point is he is much better than what he looks on paper (you can't always judge players by their stats anyway) but still not worth anywhere near 11m
Brazil pair Hulk and Fred can now be purchased from the bargain bin @ the maracana stadium from 14th july for a bargain price of USS1.99 PSG trying to find a way to sue Chelsea over the £50m sale of David Luiz. PSG will try and use the sale of goods act and fit for purpose regulations.
West Ham are apparently going to bid 15 million euros for Yevhen Konoplyanka. They bid 12 mill but it was rejected.
