Official Summer Signings / Rumours / Information Thread

To me its an Iron Maiden song.

 

The Suarez situation will start to be resolved as soon as he is off duty with Uruguay, so possibly from tonight/tomorrow.


Ming the Merciless' number will be 0 for all the clean sheets he'll keep.

 

2 weeks min beofre we hear anything on suarez i reckon, just my hunch... real are not under any gun here.... nobody else wants him.

 

It depends on what Ancellotti wants.

Suarez and Benzema wont compliment each other. I'm not Sure Suarez and Ozil quite match to. But Suarez and Ronalo could work great. Bale could be great in that. Add a play maker like Isco and boom.

But is that Ancellotti's style?

 

Sky reporting that Dortmund made a £19.5mil bid for Henri Ryan but Shaktar want one instalment of £25mil. The only way we'd pay that is if we sold Suarez in my opinion.

 

Which means if all this is true, it could last awhile.

 

Isn't that what Ozil is?

 

No idea why Isco wants to go to Madrid, he'll hardly get any game time in that squad. Not that City is much better, but he's more chance of forcing his way into the team there.

 

From what I'v seen he doesnt have the foot work. He's more of a passer and runner. Great movement.

 

Ancelotti is fantastic... he knows the score.

He could make Isco into the Kaka of old. Or maybe make Kaka that.

 

Still feel that we're favourites to land Henri Mkhi - will there be a ban on 3rd party ownership in the near future?

 

We can't compete with Dortmund if they're really interested.

 

We'll just move onto Eriksen then

 

playmakers do not stand 30 yard upfield hoping someone gives them the ball.... ozil is the playmaker...

anyway... there is no time pressure on real to bid on suarez, especially as he will miss 6 games i think if they buy him so why move right now?

they have already tapped him up according to sauces and frankly.... if they have they will just play the game to get the lowest price they can.

 

Wilfred Bony will join Swansea for €12m - good siging

 

Shelvey to Swansea for 5mill sayeth BBC/Mirror *clasps hands together in prayer*.

 

5mil, thats a bit too low.....

 

Do we really need this Henri chap. We're already overloaded with CAM's. Why bring in another one for 25million.
I was disappointed with the Alberto signing. Looks nothing special and we ended up paying nearly 7 million for a bloke plying his trade in 2nd division. Looks stupid when Swansea got Michu for 3million.

Besides we already have Suso, he's got bags of potential and i don't get why BR wanted Alberto. We'd rather got Eriksen for 10million and not bother about the Armenian chap or Alberto. Much like Benitez, BR seems to go for quantity rather quality.

 

Well said. We are in need of quality, of which so far there is none. We also require an actual striker and actual centre or defensive midfielder.

 

Yes we do. We have a lot of youngsters who have bags of potential but now we need real established quality, and Henri fits the bill.

He's a versatile player who can play pretty much all over the park.
