Re: EPL/UEFA Transfer Rumors/Updates/Announcements

Why is it irrelevant?

To my interest. I enjoy watching the games, but there's just no competition for a team with Bayerns resources nowadays.

Plus the ways they cannibalize their competitors every time they come up to challenge. First Gotze and now Lewandoski(on a free). Apparently Schalke is next as they're looking to buy Draxler.

At least La Liga has 2 teams doing this.

EPL really doesnt have a challenger for most interesting big league ATM.

Yeah that transfer has killed off the league again.

Kevin De Bruyne going from Chelsea to Wolfsburg for around 25mil.

Not bad for a guy we brought for 7mil 2 years ago and is 6th in line as a CAM for us.

Chelsea closing in on buying Matic back from Benfica, should be done this week.

So excited about this transfer as CM's go theres not much(if anything) available thats better than this.

Looks like Moyes is cleaning out the dead wood, Anderson first to go.

Re: EPL/UEFA Transfer Rumors/Updates/Announcements

Thank god Anderson is going . Looks like he enjoys his food a tad to much.
Nani as well

Re: EPL/UEFA Transfer Rumors/Updates/Announcements

Matic with a medical today and then will be signing on with Chelsea for around €26mil.

This is a guy that we originally bought for €1.5mil and then a couple of years later added to some cash to get David Luiz from Benfica. Since then he's blossomed into one of the better deep lying mid fielders in the world.

Should form a great partner ship with Ramires in the guts.

Anderson off to fiorentina, it he struggled to keep off the weight in Manchester he's got no hope in Italy.

Nani signed a 5 year deal in September.

Thoughts Chef? I'm not sure.

Re: EPL/UEFA Transfer Rumors/Updates/Announcements

Seriously good player but Jose doesn't rate him.

Re: EPL/UEFA Transfer Rumors/Updates/Announcements

Thoughts Chef? I'm not sure.

It's not going to happen unless Rooney to Chelsea is on the cards too. Plus Kagawa is a very similar, so I don't get why you would need both, maybe he's up for sale too.

It would be sad to see him go as over the last couple of seasons he's been a joy to watch, but he doesn't fit Jose's system(his defensive side just isn't good enough).

You would also need to change your system to accommodate him(this is why Kagawa struggles IMO), If you played a 4231 and found a decent right wing with Mata in the center and Januaj to his left and RVP up top I think he'd(and United) do well.
