The Inevitable Summer Transfer Market Topic

[RazorsEdge]

So Chelsea have officially signed Daniel Sturridge with a fee to be decided by a tribunal.

And apparently Perez has said that two more signings will complete his overhaul of Real Madrid. Hmm. I see either them getting Ribery or Xabi Alonso and then maybe looking at a big name defender to finish it off.

[El Dandy]

I wonder how much they will have to pay? Can't see them being forced to pay more than £6 Million.

[IAceI]

Have they got Albiol or was that all rumour talk.

It'd be the typical Madrid thing to do, need a defender so you get a Spanish one. A country with little concept of defence

Get an Italian one dammit!

[El Dandy]

A man with brains would think Madrid would sharpen up their defence. Don't matter how good your attack is, if your defence is shit then your gonna leak goals.

[Crybaby Bunting]

It seems the love for Per Mertesacker has gone down loads since a few years ago, remember when he was the rumoured £30m signing for any of the big teams?

Now no-one seems interested in him, he'd be the perfect Madrid guy, but he's not a big enough name ¬_¬

Blackburn looking to sign Christian Vieri so Ceefax says.

So Michael Owen is now an official Man United player after passing a medical.

OMG!!!!!!! Liverpool fans are gonna boo him at Anfield. Its a gd gamble to take by Fergie Michael Owen fully fit will get you at least 15-20 or even more so good luck to him, and hopefully he can get in the England squad before th world cup starts

[Crybaby Bunting]

From a relegated club to the current league champions

Who else but Michael Owen?

[El Dandy]

If he scores againt Liverpool it will be a picture to see those little scouse fans faces turn sour. ^_^ That will make my year

[Lord Nibbler]

Even more so if he picks up a Premier League winner's medal.

Haha very true.

Something like that, but with tears. And more sadness. More doom and gloom

Funny me and my friend were talking about Owen and the possibility of United signing him just a few days ago.

I think Sir Alex has been monitoring him for a while, we have been linked with Owen for the past year and I am interested to see how this turns out.

Berbatov is excellent at creating chances, last season there were loads of games where he played in a good pass and the likes of Tevez/Rooney weren't there to capitalize either because they were out of position or perhaps too tired from tracking back. Before the signing of Berbatov last season when we were drawing and winning 1-0 the fans were crying out for a goal poacher..someone who stays in the box.

Not to mention Owen stands a better chance of scoring goals with Berbatov/Rooney/Carrick instead of Ameobi/Carrol/Guthrie.

Thought I'd mention this:

Another 16 year old Italian to join our growing pasta munching contingent!.

Blackburn looking to sign Christian Vieri so Ceefax says.

THE LEt says its bullshit and they are quite reliable. Owen only scores goals? Yeah, well, only goals wins matches. Now, who was the Man Utd fan in here who said he would cry if they signed him?

[The Kraig]

Michael Owen has one fucking amazing agent. Seriously.

[El Dandy]

Never thought i'd see the day

[Fudge]

I think it suits him tbh.

Now either Michael Owen is going to be the top scorer next season, or he's gunna spend 8 months with Rob Swire. I'm going with the first option.

[Turbo Yannis]

That brochure must've been the bollocks.

[IAceI]

Now Platini can forget about Real Madrid and be more concerned about Man Utd signing 16-year-old Italians before they can sign a professional contract in their home country. Everything will be right in the world again.
