Summer transfer thread 2012

[Mattshark]

On its own merit its a decent deal......but buying a player back a year after he left for 50% more money after he failed there.

Levy does well to get top dollar for his players......9m for Defoe allegedly too

The bad thing is that Pieenar is far better than Downing and cost so much less.

They picked up something like £50m for winning the CL. Plus they've got rid (and will get rid) of quite a few high earners this summer.

Shows how badly we need to get back into the CL.

Yeah, I get that, but aren't you only allowed to put in £40m along with your profit and the Chavs certainly don't have any profit.
