Official Summer Signings / Rumours / Information Thread

No mention anywhere of Rafa taking over at Napoli?

 

It's not official. ADL was forcing Madrid/PSG's hand by saying he'd signed Rafa. He's retracted his comments.

 

Think Rafa likes his tactics?

Neymar to stay at Santos or go to Barca and Real. It was breaking last night kind of late. Both have offered healthy sums and he will be making his decision sometime soon.

 

According to sky sources we're leading the race for Portos winger Christian Atsu (the fella Spearing mentioned)

Also Skrtel would 'seriously consider' his future at Liverpool should an offer come in for him.

Liverpool defender Jose Enrique is determined to stay at Anfield and play his part in helping the club back to their glory days. "I haven't spoken with the manager about next season but I want to stay," he said.


Sky Sports understands Liverpool are leading the race to sign Porto winger Christian Atsu. Talks are thought to be continuing between the Reds and Porto as Brendan Rodgers' side look to win the race for the Ghana international.

talkSPORT reporting an imminent bid from West Ham for Shelvey (please let this be true)

 

I think the criticism of Shelvey is a bit unfair. He is far better than the likes of Cole, Downing and Allen. He just can be lazy and hot headed. West Ham may be suitable for him though.

 

Being better than Downing, Cole and Allen does not mean he is good enough

 

Ive really wanted Shelvey to succeed but everytime he plays its a letdown. Doesnt seem to have the right attitude. I could see him succeeding at a club like West Ham though. Just dont think he is needed at Liverpool especially with our choice in the advanced CM role.

 

I think he'll turn out alright, but not good enough to be a starter - and not impactful enough to be on the bench.

A season loan would be good for him to see if regular game time brings him on, rather than selling him. Same for Coates really. They're at the age where they need to be playing, not training and playing in the reserves.

 

We should sign Subotic, Hummels, Schweinsteiger, Lahm and Lewodanski this summer

 

Reus as well

 

Nah, we have Ford!

 

Lewandowski & Schweinsteiger are ****, hardly touched the ball today

Neither would get in over Borini & Allen let's be honest

 

Plus either keeper.

If he's good enough for BR..............I'd just like to see us linked with some DM's now

 

Think he is meant to be good. I know they rate him in FIFA ( know that is worth sweet **** all) but could add some good pedigree and winning mentality? most of the time players from porto are the real deal.

 

In coming Manchester City manager wants four players one of them is Luis Suarez.The answer
is the same: "Suarez is not for sale".

Actually would fear for this, think Suarez could easily jump at that, tons of money, CL, a manager that is south american and well respected. Would be tough. Would need to take them for every penny if so though!!!!

 

£50 mill plus Silva, YaYa, Kompany and Aguero

 

We should sort out defensive requirements first. Having said that if the price is £3m, we can't really lose. Just as long as we use him more than we did Assaidi. I really hope we go for Eriksen this summer.
