The Summer Transfer Thread

[IAceI]

We've completed the signing of George McCartney - who said his wife didn't settle in London...

Didn't settle in London, wants to go back to Sunderland. What a gal.

"2317: Breaking news which I told you at 2236: Hull City Chairman Paul Duffen tells BBC Radio Humberside that he expects Manchester United striker Frazier Campbell to join Spurs as part of Dimitar Berbatov deal. 'I told you so' is such a cheap phrase, don't you think?"

Jonathan Stevenson is such a cunt. I hate him more than Jonathan Pearce doing commentary. That said, disappointed Campbell won't be back for the season, although it's definitely a good move for him.

Lads Dont be so excited about Robinho he had half a good season in three years at Real. He is a one trick pony and way too small for the premiership.

[TheRossWalker]

I told you all that at 2210, so Stevenson can fuck himself.

[King Ellis]

I like the Everton fan saying he's cancelling his season ticket and expects Moyes to be sacked.

That and Steveo shouting at the guy asking if he's fallen asleep.

[Guest Ant]

One of my mates has said Robinho to Citeh is confirmed. Guess work permit is sorted

[Scott McFly]

Hull signed Daniel Cousin from Rangers. Phil Brown said that may not be the last bit of business, maybe Campbell is going to Hull?

I think Cousin's days were numbered ever since he got sent off in the UEFA Cup final last season. But he's still a solid striker and Hull will need all the help they can get.

I love the idea all these fans are waiting for a last minute marvel from their manager pulling out a massive signing. When in fact their teams manager is probably laid up in bed snoring away and has been for an hour now.

[MasterOfPain]

I agree with the last update, I've sat their pressing F5 so long i've lost the will to live.

Not tapped up hey?

Forget that, I want to know how we've managed to keep this deal quiet...

On an unrelated note, why can nobody spell his name right?

[Baddar]

Robinho is a City player.

[TheArsenal]

SSN confirms Robinho is now a Man City player.

[King Ellis]

I wonder what Jo has made of all this. With the mass cull of failures from their squad over the summer (Bianchi, Corradi, Samaras, Mpenza etc) and the only guys left being Vassell and two young'uns in Evans and Sturridge, he must have thought he'd be the star player for them.

Poor guy.

[FLiam]

OMG!

First, Berbatov, now Aliadiere and Casillas, what a transfer window for Utd.

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

Man Utd dont need another striker, we have the mighty Manucho this season >_>

[stokeriño]

And yet, I still can't see City qualifying for Europe via the league. I really can't.

[IAceI]

Did City offer more money? Because to me Real Madrid just seem to be doing things in spite these days, they pulled the plug on the Chelsea deal when it was basically finished.

Spanish press started claiming Real Madrid had announced they'd had a bid accepted for Berbatov. Only for Madrid to then come out and say, "we haven't made a bid".

And then way they've conducted themselves in the whole Ronaldo saga.

It just seems like Schuster and Calderon enjoy being seen as evil men

EDIT: Manucho this season? The Manucho whose in Greece this year? Not sure how effective he'll be over there.

[Guest Ant]

It would actually help him settle more. 3 brazilians in Citehs squad now

[FLiam]

Wow, Chelsea just got owned by Manchester City.

[ZJ Penn]

Robinho to Man City. What the hell is going on? If someone told you that this morning they'd be branded crazy. He must be on about 200k a week.

Imagine if they got Berbatov as well.
