Non-City transfer rumours

That sums up my point about over-priced Championship players pretty well.

 

Villa will be on £120k per week on a 3 year deal (or £18m excluding the transfer fee)

Gayle will be on £20k per week on a 3 year deal (or £3m excluding the transfer fee) - ditto Austin

Sums up anyones point about underpriced potential

 

- Christian Benteke has sparked a transfer tussle by asking to leave Aston Villa. The revelation has put Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City on high alert as they eye a £20M deal for the Belgian.
- Despite reports earlier this week, Alan Pardew is willing to offer QPR a player plus cash deal for French striker Loic Remy.
- Manchester City have ramped up their interest in Fiorentina's in-demand forward, Stevan Jovetic, as their search for a striker continues.
- However, City have seemingly given up hope of luring Portuguese defender Pepe to the Etihad.
- Tottenham Hotspur may turn to Roberto Soldado to solve their striker problems as Spurs missed out on David Villa who agreed to join Ateltico Madrid.
- Everton are expecting an improved offer for star left-back Leighton Baines. David Moyes has already seen a £12M offer rejected.
- Arsenal are believed to be in talks to sign Manchester City and England midfielder Gareth Barry.
- New PSG boss Laurent Blanc wants the club to wrap up deals for Napoli striker Edinson Cavani and also £20M-rated Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye.
- Chelsea have had an improved offer rejected for Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy.
- If Chelsea do manage to seal a deal for Ruddy, the Canaries will target Celtic keeper Fraser Forster as his replacement.
- Charlie Austin's proposed move to Hull City is off after the Burnley striker failed his medical.
- Steve Bruce is now targeting a move for Marseille midfielder Morgan Amalfitano on loan.
- Fulham manager Martin Jol is targeting up to six signings this summer as he looks to strengthen the squad at Craven Cottage.
- Cardiff are hopeful of finalising an £8M deal for Blackpool winger Tom Ince shortly.
- Stoke City and QPR have been linked with a swap deal involving Wilson Palacios and Samba Diakite.
-After securing his first deal yesterday, Roberto Martinez is targeting a flurry of new signings at Everton. The Spaniard wants to sign Victor Moses, Antolin Alcaraz and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, Joel. All players played under him at Wigan.
If Maroaune Fellaini leaves Goodison Park this summer, Everton have lined up PSG midfielder Clement Chantome as a potential replacement.
- Chelsea defender David Luiz is being targeted by Barcelona in a £30M swoop. However, the Blues will hold out for a higher fee.
- Sunderland have failed in two transfer swoops this week. French left-back Benjamin Mendy opted to join Marseille and Argentine right-back Gino Peruzzi has rejected the Black Cats' offer of personal terms.
- Finally, Schalke wonderkid Julian Draxler has apparently spurned offers from England to stay in Germany. Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are believed to have targeted the 19-year-old this summer.

 

More proof that the EPL is surely in decline. More and more foreign players wanting to play in Spain or Germany rather than here.

 

I really didn't rate that Joel Robles, he wasn't nearly as good as Al Habsi. Mind you, I'd take Apostolos Vellios off their hands.

 

Rubbish. They go where the wages are best. Dont see much on that list.


Jason Koumas is now training with Tranmere Rovers. How the mighty have fallen. Lol.

 

Koumas always impressed me.

 

Yes he never reached his full potential imo.

 

The only player on that list wanting to sign for a German or Spanish club is a German wanting to stay in Germany....clearly the PL is in decline

 

Goran Popov returns to WBA on a season long loan from Dynamo Kiev.

Paul Ince says his son Tom wont rush into any move to Cardiff City at the moment.

 

I agree, could have been a good premier league player, never fulfilled his promise.

 

He is not alone. One of many sadly.

 

Everton have signed another player who was at Wigan last season - Joel Robles.

 

Altidore confirmed at Sunlan - 4 year deal.

Schwarzer to Chelsea.

 

Mark Schwarzer has joined Chelsea - that's come out of the blue.

Good move by Mourinho though, as it gives Cech some good competition for once. I would expect him to play quite a few league games to be fair.

Just in case anyone thinks its a wind-up:

Weird thought he wanted to go somewhere to be the number 1.

 

Olof Mellberg has signed for FC Copenhagen on a two year deal. Febbos will be gutted he didn't get to see him in a City shirt...

 

Money talks.

 

To be fair, Mourinho might offer him regular football, like Spurs originally did with Lloris and Friedel.

Him and Cech might swap on a consistent basis - remember, they also have European football as well as the 3 cups here in England.
