The Transfer Thread 2014/15 - Everything not Wolves

[Nando]

Juve have Dybala in the bag. Cavani reportedly on his way too.

 

[Alan]

Cavani is a fraud, why do big clubs bother with him?

 

[Nando]

I don't think you can call a player with a 1 in 2 record a fraud. He's been excellent for PSG when allowed to play as a striker and his record at Napoli is nothing short of phenomenal.

Bolton Wanderers can announce that 13 players will officially leave the club when their contracts expire on June 30.

Senior players Matt Mills, Craig Davies, Andrew Lonergan, Jermaine Beckford and Keith Andrews will officially depart Macron Stadium at the end of June, whilst Chris Lester, Georg Iliev, Luke Woodland, Glenn Matthews, Ryan Sellers, James Ball, Carl Kennedy and Kieran Nolan will also leave.

Matt Mills.

£4.5m Leicester paid for him over us. We dodged a bullet there.

Wonder if Mick McCarthy will have a dabble on Mills this summer.

DERBY County have been linked with a £2m swoop for Brentford's Spanish star Jota.

I hope Wolves can compete for his signature should he become available at anything around 2 million.

Only seen odd bits of play with him, but does appear to have something about him. Has coped with the Championship well & has a year behind him at this level now.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

2 years left on his deal. I would be surprised if £2m was enough.

 

[Lycan]

I like Jota, he's a bit Rajiv-esque but actually composed in front of goal.

 

[Alan]

Benzema to United and Marcell Jansen to Leicester. Apparently.

 

[Freddeno]

when will united start looking at their poor defenders?? you win no trophys with those at the back, bar De Gea..and maybe Shaw

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Sky saying Sterling won't be signing a new deal with Liverpool. If Rodgers weren't so appalling in the transfer market they'd be well advised to sell him I think. Obviously they'd be better off getting rid of the chancer as well so someone who has an idea how to use funds and build a team could have a go at it.

 

[Johnny75]

I think they might bin Rodgers off if they could get Klopp. That may see Sterling change his mind.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I'd say it with absolute confidence right now, unless something very, very odd happens at one of the current top four clubs then there is no way that Liverpool are making the Champions League next season if Brendan Rodgers is the manager. They're more likely to slip behind Spurs and Southampton.

Real Madrid is the big one for Klopp. There aren't tons of high profile candidates that are potential managers for them - given that Simeone won't cross the city, not directly anyway - and it would go against Perez's history to retain Ancelotti after the season has fizzled out. Of course he might have been told that he's not in the running there and given that it seems that Pellegrini is getting another year at City (not that City's current squad is in any way compatible with Klopp's football) then there aren't any other really big superclub jobs going to come up this summer.

If he isn't getting the Real gig then he might be tempted by Liverpool, I don't like them as a club but what with their history they are still a big pull, also the ego boost you'd get as a manager if you were the one to finally win them the league again. And you're probably not expected to go and win the title straight away, you'd have time, you just need to show consistent progress. He wants to manage in England now his English has improved a lot over the last couple of years. If it were in any way possible then FSG would be mad not to go for it, Rodgers -> Klopp is an upgrade on a par with Saunders -> Jackett, they're not even in the same stratosphere.

I can't believe they're sitting there as owners of a club for whom they have aspirations of rejoining the elite, then they're looking at Rodgers continually dicking around with formations, three at the back, no strikers in the team despite him signing four of them, wide forwards at wingback, his transfer record as a whole, listening to the utter shit he comes out with and thinking he's the man for the job.

 

[YoungWolf]

I think Arsenal would be a really good move for him personally, and would make Arsenal (with maybe an upgrade at CB/CM) serious title challengers.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wenger has two years left on his contract though I think. Arsenal won't ever sack him and he won't leave until it's up as he has never broken a contract. I agree with you that it would be a good move - and by extension that I think Wenger's days of winning titles are gone for good - but it's one for the medium term if it's ever going to happen.

Edit: That's if you're on about Klopp rather than Sterling :icon_lol: I don't think Arsenal need Sterling. They have enough attacking midfielders/support forwards.

 

[Alan]

Apparently Klopp is in talks with fucking Trabzonspor of all places.

 

[Tony Towner]

I don't think Sterling is anywhere close as being as good as he thinks he is (yet). Carragher doing deep breaths before he spoke this evening was quite entertaining, but when he did it was measured and I couldn't disagree with a word.

:icon_lol:

Maybe, just think he would take them up another level.
