Re: EPL/UEFA Transfer Rumors/Updates/Announcements

Guardian now reporting City also in the hunt for him.

Which is ridiculous when you already have Kun and Dzeko with Jovetic and Negredo as back up.

I would be more worried if City signed a decent keeper.

55m is what Monaco payed for him and considering he had a serious injury and is 12 months older(29 now) you'd think that's paying over quite a bit

I'm a bit perplexed by this too.

Not sure what the reasoning behind our interest would be.

Apparently done to United. Will score a lot of goals.

14m pounds for Blind is a terrible deal. He is a decent player but has never been the best player at Ajax.

Didn't he win Dutch player of the year?

Haven't solved their defensive issues .

Apparently it's an 8m loan fee to Monaco with 12m used to maintain Falcao's wages.

As well as being one of their best players at the WC. Only 24 years of age and will be an excellent buy for Utd. Certainly not a terrible deal at all.

Wenger is in Rome at a charity match today. I would have thought he would have more important things to do. Unless they are done and they are waitingtil late to make the announcement like they did with Ozil.

Id imagine they're concerned with RVP's injury niggles, and have loaned out Hernandez .
I'd say Wellbeck would be next to exit stage left.

In Falcao you've got someone who before he did his was the best CF on the planet. Cracking signing. Apparently now United have the 3 highest paid players in the Prem(Falcao, RVP and Rooney).

This puts you back in top 4 calculations.

£16m for Welbeck being reported.

It seems you'll sign a CF, just not a very good one.

Sandro to QPR is a great pick up.

Negredo off to Valencia on loan.

Sandro to QPR is a great pick up.

Indeed it is - though I was hoping to pick up another striker as we only have Austin and Zamora as out and out strikers. We were after Borini but his wage demands were too high (glad we didn't go down that path).

I see the Gunners didn't end up getting Wellbeck. Good news for them as 16 mil is way overs.
