The 2010 Summer transfer thread

[TCO]

How is that bad news? The Yankees are known to spend insane amounts of money to succeed and have crafted out one of the most famous sporting teams in the World. I've never seen a baseball game, but even I know who the Yankees. I'd want that type of success at my club.

Tell you what CSAMH - if you don't want the Yankees buying you out, send them down to Bristol and let them buy us

I love Daniel Levy and his way of running a company.

[Crybaby Bunting]

I used to think so until reading the following

Joe Cole to Liverpool?

[Szumi]

Wow. I cannot believe Cole is going to Pool. He REALLY must not like Tottenham .

Still, this is a huge lift for Liverpool, and not even in terms of on the pitch, but morale too. Yes, it is a free transfer, but at the same time, it's at least proof that quality players still want to play at Anfield.

Good signing (if he stays fit). Would be nice to actually invest some money into the team, however.

[Twist]

I'm a Newcastle fan (point being we were NEVER going to sign Cole, so I consider my a neutral in this matter), I am gutted to see Joe Cole turn down Tottenham. Don't mind him going to Liverpool, I just think there would have been something something special about him going to Spurs.

[Dynamite]

Someone on another forum posted a twitter post from a journalist who said Arsenal were offering Joe Cole 80k and two-year deal, Spurs £65k for a three year deal and a big signing on fee, Liverpool offer was 90k for four years. There was talk from Ancelotti earlier saying that Chelsea wouldn't meet his wage demands either. I'm not sure what Liverpool's wage structure is at the moment but 90k sounds a lot although once you subtract the wages from Benayoun and whoever else may leave then it may not even be an overall rise for the club. On the pitch, it should prove a good signing for them though providing he stay fits. Gives a decent option from the wings and he seems the type of player who could really benefit from Hodgson's management.

Brilliant signing for Liverpool, think he'll fit in great. Gutted we didn't get him still, great piece of business to start off for Hodgson.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Greedy little shit.

EDIT: Do Liverpool actually have the money to pay his wages?

Shit, someone better remind them .

[Pesci]

That's fucking awesome. Hopefully we try to use him as an outlet and don't just stick him on the left.

[HailtotheYo]

Surely 'Pool is getting some of the money from the Rangers sale ...

[Baddar]

In normal circumstances, I'd be saying "fuck Joe Cole" for moving to Liverpool - but ever since Hodgson became their manager, I've found myself...liking them.

I'm sure it'll pass once the season starts though...

[METALMAN]

Maybe Liverpool will be the next cute little midtable club if the rise of Fulham continues.

[Hobo]

Joe meets Uncle Roy!

[Blue Rosler]

It's spelt Woy.
