Transfer Talk 2014 (General)

[Chazza]

Looks like it will work out well for Salah

[Gibbo]

That's a fair point Chazza, could be worth a wee punt for a cut price.

They really did buy him so we didn't, didn't they.

[baitman]

which lucky club will steam in and snap up moses, a bargain to be had there

[The_weatherman]

Remember how good Kakuta was meant to be?

McCeachran was also supposed to be the best young player in England IIRC. Graveyard for young talent really.

Be a good signing to go with Cabella.

They periodically buy pretty well, don't they. Weird. Do nothing for ages, or buy utter dreck, then go on a binge of buying decent players.

Ha!

Alan Pardew has thanked HIMSELF for signing Remy Cabella.

The Newcastle boss says the France winger is a "marquee signing" after the club spent £12 million, their biggest buy since landing Michael Owen.

Cabella, who has been given a six-year contract, was a long term target and is regarded as a replacement for Yohan Cabaye.

Pardew said: "It's part of a rebuilding process and a big part of it.

"A lot of work has gone into his signing and I'd like to pay tribute to myself, my staff, in particular Graham (Carr), Lee (Charnley), Mike (Ashley) and everyone on the board.

"We've worked really hard on this and he's a player we think is important, which is represented in the fee and represented in his commitment to us. I'm just looking forward to seeing an exciting talent.

"He's a player who has been on our radar for a while and he is a marquee signing for us. He represents for us all Newcastle fans love in a player.

Chelsea agree to sell £8m Demba Ba to Besiktas http://dailym.ai/1tMFbJO

[Chazza]

Read the other day they are trying to get Drogba back as player/coach.

[RedReet]

You know what you are getting with him [Ba] and I think he is a really good player. I'd take him over Sturridge all day long. In fact, for the money that Chelsea have paid I think he is an absolute steal. I have no idea why Liverpool decided against Ba and went for Sturridge.

My reservations with Sturridge centre around the fact that he has some growing up to do and I'm not sure whether he will be able to see the big picture on the pitch. Ba would have helped them enormously as every season they fail to get into the ¬Champions League they get further away. Ba is absolute class but Sturridge a top player? I have my doubts.

[Norbs]

Ashley Cole's interview is making me lol.

He keeps adding 'errrr' pauses in to his sentences as if he's speaking their language and needs a moment to compose himself. It's Schteve McLarenesque

Brilliant, what a titface
