Summer transfer thread 2012

[Shanks]

Mirror reporting "Fergie confident he's got Van Persie".
Independant going with him favouring a move to Juve..

Expect this to go on for a while longer..

TalkSport saying that United are now favourites to sign RVP.

I don't think anyone can call this one. But I can see United getting him, especially with Owen and Berbatov leaving.

[little dave hedgehog]

cunts.

[Fosterbloke]

I reckon RvP is a one season wonder. He'll be back to half a season of injuries and 10 goals. How is he supposed to play with The Little Pea(nis)?

[RichC]

I think you might be right with RVP, Arsenal is set up for him to be the main guy there, not sure at Manure it will be the same; expect him to do ok but not at the level he shown at Arsenal this past season, season & a half.

[RedReet]

Can't see Van persie at United at all. Don't think it's a good fit for either party.

Would love them to blow a fortune on him just so he can watch most of the season from teh stands injured.

Ledley King confirms his retirement.

"I have been here [at Tottenham] since I was a boy, I have always considered it my Club and have always found it hard to imagine wearing the shirt of another team.

"I know that being a one-club man is a rarity these days, but I have always enjoyed being part of the set-up here and the challenge of putting this Club up with the elite where it should be.

"I would like to say thank you to everyone at the Club and to the fans. I have missed a lot of football over the years, but the Spurs fans have always been patient and incredibly supportive with me during difficult periods. Sadly my injuries and inability to train have now finally brought an end to my career."

Oscar (Internacional) to Chelsea for £25m. From BBC News ticker.

Chelsea are buildng one hell of a team. If they can gel, its all over.

[Lee]

They're definitely building for the future. Need to add a couple of defenders though.

[lickedlollipop]

What a ****ty league to spend your prime years in though. Money talks I suppose.

It's all about money.

Ibra is a good player but he's massively over-rated he really is. £11M+ a year, ****ing hell!
He isn't and never will be in the same league as the likes of Messi, Ronaldo (fake) and even Iniesta, Xavi and Rooney (oh wait I take the Rooney one back)

Football has gone crazier than it was before with this,

Agree that he is very useful player, but world-class? I don't think so, as well.

"fake Ronaldo"

So depressing. One ****in day of his pay would totally sort me out

Isn't it? And we call ourselves "fans". We're no more than sheeps addicted to football. We can't even imagine how much money that is.. ffs.

[Maxiedge]

hmmm, still not sure if you can accommodate so many playmakers in the side. Definitely a strong squad though.

The irony of it all is that they have 4 players now: Mata, Hazard, Oscar and Marin all of which are exactly the type of player we need to sign.

Nah Dempsey is the missing piece

Quality defender and not a cunt.

[Bender]

Wigan have rejected a fresh Chelsea bid for Victor Moses and are determined to hold out for a fee of £10m.
