The Transfer Thread

[Liam]

Wigan have had 5 million for Diop agreed with Fulham, but are waiting to see if the player wants to move.

If he does, we better buy some players, as we've got 10 million through selling two players this month.

[9 to 5]

...

RW wins. >_>

[R.W.]

Add Chris Samba & Jermaine Easter as potential Rovers signings this month.

[ONO]

Lyon have signed Milan Baros.

It looks as if it's a straight swap with John Carew going to Villa.

Good deal if thats the case, Carew is quality and Baros is shite.

[Steeb]

Woah, really? That'd be amazing. Carew is far superior.

[ONO]

Yep. John Carew has signed for Aston Villa.

It's been reported on the Villa website.

[therockbox]

Carew shits all over Baros, who cost Villa about 6 million too much.

[Summers]

Rumour has it Lyon may have also paid us a little something something. That's what was originally stated.

[Guest President Ringiah Bartlet]

Carew > Baros, but Carew's been absolutely diabolical since about March of last year, and he's been especially horrid since the new season started. He's gonna need some serious talking-to if he ever becomes good again.

In more interesting news, Juan Roman Riquelme, god amongst men , will probably leave Villareal soon after falling out with, well, everyone in the club except Diego Forlan. It's not sure where's headed, but the rumoured price tag is 10 million euros (bargain), and Bayern Munich are said to be hating the race.

[ONO]

Carew is going to fuck the Premiership up.

Bet on it.

[Buford Ripley]

Riquelme to move?

Whoever signs him is a lucky, lucky team.

Martin O'Neill is a good man manager, so he could come good.

We almost got him a couple of years ago, but he failed a fitness test. I'd like to see us keep Montella, but he'll probably cost too much.

[Big Red Fury]

I've heard that Riquelme was looking to move for a while and I still can't comprehend why Man Utd haven't placed a bid on him instead of insisting on paying a ridiculous fee for Hargreaves.

Because they're completely different types of player?

Edited January 23, 2007 by Big Red Fury

[Guest President Ringiah Bartlet]

Because playing Riquelme would require dropping Carrick. Carrick isn't a defensive midfielder, he's like a worst version of Riquelme. What Man Utd need, I think, is a defensive mid, which is what Hargreaves will do.

Man Utd aren't particularly desperate for a Riquelme-like player now.

[Big Red Fury]

Didn't they waste all that money on Carrick because he was supposed to solve the Roy Keene hole?

[Guest President Ringiah Bartlet]

I dunno, but he's certainly nothing like Keane in his style. He's more of a playmaker with outstanding passing. From what I've seen, their midfield is kinda lightweight and they need a hard tackler which is what people think Hargreaves can do.
