The Summer Transfer Thread

[Colossus]

So, any news on Veloso?

[Guest Ant]

All these signings of players you never thought would move to a Premier League club.

Like FM08 goes reality style.

Wonder if anyone will play Diablo style?

[King Ellis]

Michael Tonge to Stoke? Hmm.

None yet.

I saw Derby rejected a bid for Giles Biles from Newcastle. That player, those clubs - every game of FM08 I've ever played.

Wonder if this regime is going to be like the Newcastle one or the Villa one?

Newcastle they only buy players approved by Wise and Ashley wheras Lerner lets MON get on with it.

For the record, i'm sure that Ashley has absolutely nothing to do with any transfer sans setting the transfer budget in the first place. I can't think of any recent transfers that have been blocked by the owner (well apart from Diarra, but seriously... Diarra)

What it's starting to look like is that Newcastle have got an amazing scouting network (well.. depending on whether these signings sink or swim) and rather than the manager going out to individually talk to these players he's getting calls from scouts who are convinced they've found gold dust.

In all honesty I think Keegan knows that he'd never be able to take huge risks at this point in time and maybe will end up with more money next transfer market. Lerner didn't just give O'Neil all this money in his first and second windows and has only started loosening his coinpurse once O'Neil has been proven as a solid manager with a good eye for signings

Berbatov has left Old Trafford. Was the deal done or not?

[Anderson]

I wish someone would confirm the Berbatov deal

I liked him being bundled into the car and the women with the baby nearly giving chase.

Chelsea fans reaction to Robinho...

"at work there all taking the piss out of me kenyon is a knob OI roman sack the manc one now"

"Kenyon piss up in a restaurant in Spain with his Robinho shirt on makes ua a laughing stock. Has he taken his Champions League loser medal off yet ? doubt it the Manc loving twat "

" i think we missed out big time on robinho and not signing anyy big names is not good for us"

[ZJ Penn]

Berbatov permanently at United.

Campbell on loan at Spurs.

- They've dropped the tap-up case too.

I guess Berba is official with Campbell going on loan.

Zombie has reminded me though of the pre-order thing on the Chelsea Robinho shirts, I wonder if some charity in Africa will be getting a lot of shirts soon.

[Scott McFly]

SSN just confirming Berbatov to Man U for £30m and Campbell goes on a season long loan the other way. Spurs have also promised not to complain to the Premier League about Man U's actions throughout the whole thing.

Campbell on loan at Spurs.

Thats what was taking so fucking long...

[TheArsenal]

30.75 million pounds. He will wear the number 9 shirt.

[TheRossWalker]

Yeah, BBC has it too.

0034: ENORMOUS BREAKING TRANSFER NEWS

The Spurs website says they have agreed to sell Dimitar Berbatov to Manchester United for £30.75m, with Fraizer Campbell going to Spurs on a season-long loan. Did you get all that?

[Anderson]

Can't be any worse than our previous No9 ... can he?

I love how Chelsea fans don't think Deco is a big name signing!

[ZJ Penn]

So Spurs made over £50,000,000 off of two players. Wow, they can probably afford not to do too well this season after that.

[Lord Nibbler]

Over the moon.

Glad Campbell's only gone on loan too, just in case he comes good.

Lerner has NEVER been a tight ass with MON. Ever since he first came he has always said the money is there for his leisure.
