The 2012 Summer Transfer Window thread

Probably!

West Brom have confirmed that Argentina international Claudio Yacob has joined their pre-season training camp in Sweden.

Never heard of him.

Oh my god. He is such a troublemaker, probably the Argentinian version of Joey Barton or something like that, he used to be the captain of my club here in Argentina (Racing Club) but had an incident with the head coach and then he got released of his contract.

I like Khain!

Alexander Buttner's agent claims Fulham are still keen on the Vitesse Arnhem full-back after a move to Southampton fell through.

Barnsley manager Keith Hill has confirmed he is closing in on the signing of Toni Silva, with the Liverpool winger expected to join on a free transfer.

Nicklas Bendtner will move to either Galatasaray or AC Milan

Interesting choices of clubs there. Nice to cover all your bases though, I guess.

Probably Galatasaray.

[Noah]

It worked for Harry.

Joseph Yobo has left Everton to join Fenerbahce permanently.

You only 'bahce once.

SAF confirms we're in for Lucas, based on his comments it seems quite likely the deal might happen now, but you never know.

Quite nice to see him confirming our interest in both him and RVP, quite a different take compared to how he is some seasons. Would be a fantastic signing if we can make it happen, options on the wings will be mental.

Funny how a couple days ago Fergie was bitching about how he doesn't want to talk about targets, but Arsenal confirmed their bid. And then he goes on to admit he's in for Lucas?

He'll be bache.

[Noah]

We'll probably end up signing Lucas the EWB poster rather than Lucas the footballer.

[Matt]

You guys mean Lucas Moura right, not Lucas Leiva?

[Hobo]

Yeah. I would think so.

[stokeriño]

No one should be referred to as just 'Lucas' anymore - there are too many of them. Call them Moura, Piazon, etc.

Triffic.

West Ham United have confirmed the signing of 19-year-old Raphael Spiegel from Grasshopper Club Zurich for an undisclosed fee.

Except Lucas, he's been our Lucas for years, all these new lads can get their own name!

How many teams do you support Eddie!? I'm getting rather confused.

ALL THE TEAMS!

Feyenoord - I was born just outside of Rotterdam

Malaga - Lived in Malaga for 8 years, season ticket holder for 4 of them.

Liverpool - Glory hunter (I see the irony in this post-2005 )

Those are my 3 main teams, I support/follow/like teams of places where I've lived, have relatives (Donny, Bolton, Toronto)
