Transfer Rumours

Cardiff fan site saying we've agreed a fee for Caulker

Alan Nixon reporting that a deal for Can is close
 
I like Caulker.

Big, strong, and looked the part in a completely shite team. He's 23, we'll be getting him for 10M odd, and there's only upside.

Do it.
 
He's a great defender, certainly should be going to the world cup.

That's not saying much!

I think he's cumbersome. I think it'd be another middling signing with middling results.

As ever, I will bow to those with greater knowledge. I am going to see my Cardiff supporting mate tom. Will be interesting to see what he makes of him.

great gets bandied about too much, the lad was so great in a team that got relegated? is he an improvement on anyone apart from Kelly? no. more quality brendan. anything more than 5m for a team in championship is a ripoff.

Not so sure about your logic here Red. Hasn't Marshall been touted around as the best keeper in the league in the season just ended? Yet his team was relegated.

i suppose it's a bit much too call him great after one proper season in the epl in which his team got relegated. sure not all his fault, but is he really that good or more importantly an improvement? for that matter I don't rate marshall to be that good either, he joins the long list of goalies who have impressed for crap team who get relegated because they are so busy during a game that they are bound to make 5 amazing saves whilst conceding 3.
 
I suspect there is some kind of financial scheme at play. Maybe not with Mata deal – United were clearly desperate and Mata still had great reputation in England. But Luiz and De Bruyne – definitely. Now they are reporting Luiz will go for not 40, but £50M. Fuck me!


Definitely some shenanigans. Could well be that they pay half his wages. So they book a sale of the entire 40m or 50m this season, but bleed let's say 5.2m a year for the next 4 years (let's assume Luiz is on 200K a week - that's about 5.2m a year, and let's say PSG gives him a 4-year contract). Ends up the nett sale is about 20m to 30m, but their accounts for next season look good for the FFP, or at least neutral.
 
Konoplyanka: "Man United? I'd rather stay at Dnipro and play in the Champions League".

Hahaha!

So thats Kroos, Muller, Strootman and Kono now. Evra signed a one year contract yesterday which probably indicates that the Shaw deal isnt moving along either.
 
Any link for that Kono quote Hansern?

Konoplyanka: United? I'd rather stay with Dnipro in the Champions League - report

May 24, 2014 12:14
By David Lynch

The Ukraine international has reportedly explained that he would snub the Reds in order to remain with his current club this summer.
Yehven Konoplyanka has dismissed links with Manchester United, suggesting he would rather stay with current club Dnipro and compete in the Champions League.

The Ukrainian winger was close to completing a move to the Premier League Liverpool in January but a proposed deal collapsed on the final day of the winter transfer window.

And now the Reds have emerged as contenders for the 24-year-old's signature, with a £12m bid having been mooted in recent reports.

However, according to Artur Petroysan, editor-in-chief of Russian publication Sport-Express, Konoplyanka isn't particularly keen on joining United.

When asked about interest from the Reds, Petroysan claims the winger replied: "Man United? I'd rather stay at Dnipro and play in the Champions League."
 
Apparently this is the original source... erm @rurikbird can probably help validate that the translation / interpretation in the article above is correct.

— Если у вас будут два варианта — перейти в Манчестер Юнайтед или остаться в Днепре и сыграть в Лиге чемпионов — что выберете? — Скорее всего, остался бы в Днепре. Но не будем забегать наперед.

– If you had a choice whether to go to Manchester United or stay in Dnipro and play in Champions League, what would you choose?
– Most likely, I would have remained here then. But let's not jump ahead.
 
Yup, Spurs bought several top players last year without a plan, and they still haven't figured out how to play them. Doesn't mean they're not quality.
 
I've just got three words for mr. Onceared.
Sol-da-do.


Heh.

The single laziest cunt I've ever seen on a football pitch. No exaggeration there either, he is quite simply the most disinterested fucker to ever put on boots. He makes me furious the fucking chip-fat-haired ballbag.
