Summer transfer thread 2012

French league is so **** though, why waste your best playing years there. Suppose money talks.

True, but Zlatan has won every league he's been in, so i suppose this is something different, and as you say the money is great, and they'll have Champs league footie every season too.

[Shaggy]

So who have PSG got now? Pastore (about £40m?), Lavezzi (£30m?), Zlatan, Thiago Silva, Momo , Lugano, Thiago Motta, Maxwell, Gameiro.......not bad.

Crazy times

They will be a force in next seasons Champions league

I make it they will have:-
Pastore
Lavezzi
Ibrahimovic
Nene
Lugano
Thiago Silva
Sakho
Gameiro
Jeremy Menez
Matuidi

and Momo

[Chazza]

So do we reckon Milan will go for Tevez? Cavani maybe?

Gonna have a fair old wedge to re invest

[Shaggy]

Big Andy?

[Chazza]

Expect a derisory bid to be getting sent off as we speak

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I can understand Ibra as said above he's won the lot, he gets his last big pay day unless he goes to China or something later on and gets to live in Paris.

Thiago Silva though! I mean he's potentially one of the best CB's in the world it seems like a complete waste for him to move there.. PSG will walk the league every year, the league itself will become a joke.

[Chazza]

I would imagine Thiago Silva's monumental wages will soften the blow

But if they win the Champions league, it will mean nothing, nothing at all. Allegedly.

7.5m Euro's a year is what I read before but clicked off the link and can't remember what I was on

I would have thought he'd have wanted a little more to be honest, City might have missed a trick here.

[Liverpool]

didnt silva sign a new deal last week?

[Imy]

Ballotelli to Milan? Van Persie to Man City?

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Ballotelli to Milan? Van Persie to Man City?

Could be any of Balotelli/Dzeko/Tevez I suppose.

didnt silva sign a new deal last week?

I think, or there was talk of a 25mill one being offered.

edit: having checked, i can only find talk of the offer of a massive new deal, but nothing about him signing it.

Manchester City’s David Silva: My home is at Eastlands
David Silva has revealed he is in discussions over a new contract at Manchester City amid reported interest from Real Madrid.
By TSR staff 9:40am UK, Friday 6 July 2012

The Spain playmaker, who has scored 13 goals in 37 appearances for Roberto Mancini’s men, has been linked with a move back to his native homeland in recent months, with the La Liga champions apparently leading the chase for his signature.

But the 26-year-old has moved to end talk of a move away from Eastlands by insists he is happy at the club and intends to sign a new deal.

“My home is at City and I am totally satisfied there. My head is not at Real Madrid but at Manchester City,” Silva told the Daily Star.

“I’m grateful for my experience at City and I have improved as a player, in every sense, since I joined them. I didn’t know if I was capable of playing like this when I left Valencia.

“I’m on holiday right now, but my agents are negotiating a new deal with City and I think it’s likely we close it in a very short time.”
