Summer 2013 Transfer Rumour Thread

Quintero has signed for Genoa. There's one for FM players.

 

Thanks. I just saw it today on the echo site.

 

Now we're just going round in circles

 

I'm old and slow... leave me alone!

 

And Wellington Nem has just joined Shakhtar! Another FM wonderkid (with a ridiculously low buyout clause)

 

I have just noticed that Nathan Redmond of Birmingham has replaced Townsend in the England U21 squad. We were linked with him a year or so back but I haven't heard anything recently. I have no idea how hisast season has been either. There were rave reviews a while back.

Is he one to consider?

 

I saw Australia 1 vs. Japan 1 yesterday. Yoshida played very well putting in a brilliant block late in the game when it was still 0-0, he didn't have to do a lot, a few times the japnese defese were split open but that was more the fullbacks fault. He also looked comfortable in possession. Kiyotake only played the last 5 minutes and didn't notice him. Kagawa was brilliant as was Honda to a slightly lesser extent. Honda would be our best player if he came but I think we could get better for a lot less money (not that we could get him atm but maybe 1-2 years), also I think he isn't a team player and stop-start, I haven't seen enough of him but I suspect we would have to change our system to suit his play. In 1-2 years Ramirez would be preferable anyway.

Japan lacked a decent striker, Tadanari Lee would have done a better job than Maeda.

 

This is on saints247.com - rather lacking in detail to be news?
Saints have signed their first player of the summer transfer window. It's a player from abroad and he will arrive on Saturday to sign his contract, with official confirmation likely from the club on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

He sounds very ITK

 

That was on Saintsweb about an hour ago, too. Seems to have stemmed from there.

 

Come on! I want a signing!

 

Villa apparently in for belhanda, really rate him especially for the money stated, around 12 mil. Would fit into our set-up nicely, good age play a few positions. Ticks most boxes not sure about his temperament though.

 

Ridiculous headline - Inter Milan are not in the Premier League's top four, and neither are Liverpool.

 

By the title they mean that we are eyeing the top four. It's badly worded.

 

I don't see how we have missed out- have they signed contracts elsewhere and the 'journalist' has neglected to include that information in the article? Or is it simply Liverpool, Arsenal and Inter also appear interested therefore we don't stand a change.

I must admit though, we've never made a big signing (say £12m) from under the nose of a 'big' club (such as Liverpool). F*****g cretins.

 

It basically means, "we know **** all so that's link some random teams to them"

 

Also Inter have no money.

 

How did Shinji Okazaki play? He's supposed to be one of their best frontmen?

 

Not sure if this has already been mentioned

Is he sure he doesn't want to play in that beautiful kit any more?
