Transfer Thread

If he is half as good as McCarthy, that's a quality buy. Now you can get Jason Roberts out of the team, he is balls.

[therockbox]

Absolutely awful scoring record in an inferior league, and he can't stay fit either. £3.5m is about right, I reckon.

[9 to 5]

fineintent, Jason Roberts finished off the season in superb form and thus far he was our best player in Estonia and scored today. So, ball might be under-rating how well he is doing so far.

Santa Cruz is a bit of a risk I admit, but when he is on form he is world class. I am happy with the 5 main strikers we have for the season and we look strong all over the park. Mark Hughes is one hell of a manager.

Around here there are some news sites that say that Freddy Adu will sign with Benfica on Monday. I've always heard about Freddy Adu, but never watched him. Is he a good signing, in your opinion? (if it indeed is the case)

I think if he's going to succeed anywhere in Europe at this point in his development it will be either Portugal or Holland so I think he stands a decent chance to do well.

[fineintent]

Jason Roberts has always struck me as a bit of a donkey. With players like Bentley, Pedersen and McCarthy, Blackburn could play really nice football, then they throw the likes of Roberts, Todd (who has left) and Mokoena in. I do love me some Samba though.

[9 to 5]

Everybody loves Samba. It is like an unwritten law.

Damn right *sambas*

Hossam Ghaly from Spurs to Birmingham looks to be a lock now, whereas Mido probably won't.

Does anyone else actually want Mido?

[IAceI]

I thought Mido was always finalised, after people started hailing Steve Bruce as some God for being able to attract players of that magnitude to the club.

Heh.

Giuseppe Rossi's gone to Villareal for a reported £6.7m fee and I'm gutted.

Why?

United have a new look about them and Rossi was never going to fit in. He's played 16 Premiership games and only scored once.

Michael Brown went to Wigan yesterday, and apparently Fulham are close to signing Seol and N'Zogbia.

All in all, if that happens, some good wheeling and dealing as far as I'm concerned.

[fineintent]

Coleman must be screwing at how much money Sanchez has been given.

Oh, and Spurs have signed Prince Boateng from Hertha Berlin for £5.4 million. Is he any good? I don't watch German football. Now a left winger!

Forget that. Man City are on the verge of signing Valeri fucking Bojinov.

[Guest Ringy Gainsbourg]

I liked Bojinov when he was at Lecce. Especially that season where Lecce scored more goals than Juve and Roma combined, and conceded nearly as much too, made them the awesomest team to watch in that season. Since then, I haven't really been impressed by Bojinov, and he's got like 5 goals in Serie B, that can't be a good thing.

Still, he's got potential.

Awesome

Sven is bringing is some good signings.

[ONO]

He made his professional debut for Leece at 15 in Serie A. :@

[therockbox]

The buy back fee for Rossi must be massive.
