Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

I thought exactly the same thing when I saw the United interest. Buttner was desperate to join us and everything was set. The fact that it's taken a few weeks for United to pop up suggests to me that they have manipulated the whole situation - they have waited for the dust to settle and then stepped in to sign their man as if from nowhere. It's all too weird.

I would not be surprised if the big clubs are doing the same with Bologna or Ramirez because that situation is also too weird. If Bologna were not happy with our initial offer, all they would have to do is say to Cortese make it 'x'and he's yours. Not play things out in the media to make us / the player look bad.

 

Get a grip

 

If he wants to go and be back-up at United, then so be it. I'd hardly say it solves their LB problem.

 

Problem? Evra's alright, no?

 

Looking at their forum, they say he had a bit of a dodgy time last season. To our standards, that's probably not dodgy at all but he is 31 now.

 

Evra is still one of the best left backs in the world,but not as good as Benoît Assou-Ekotto.

 

You need to stop smoking crack.

 

I hope you're being sarcastic.

 

Benoît Assou-Ekotto is one of the best left backs in the world.

 

Benoit Assou-Ekotto is brilliant. I would say him and Evra are about level. Evra offers more going forward, but Assou-Ekotto is more solid defensively.

Neither are as good as Ashley Cole.

 

Not a Rumour as such.. but Keiran Richardson from Sunderland has handed in a transfer request, worth a bid perhaps? Could be good at either LB or up on either wing.

 

No thanks. Don't rate him at all.

 

Errrrm no thank you. Not quite as appetising as the Gaston Ramirez idea.

 

What's he gone and done that for? Sunderland is as good as he'll ever get.

 

O'Neill said Kieran came to talk to him in January, saying he had family issues. That's grown over the summer and O'Neill asked him to stay until he was comfortable with the playing staff and in the process of getting a replacement in during the summer window. So now he will let him go. Back to London for the lad I think.

 

Things are not always black and white in Football. I just find it strange that were having issues signing players that have come out and said they are as good as on the bus already.

You don't have to share my view.

 

Oh right. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in the Championship then.

 

Allardyce wants him, and allegedly so does Hughes at QPR.

 

The American government blew up the twin towers and the moon landing was fake.

 

And we are all part of the Matrix.
