The 2012 Summer Transfer Window thread

[Hobo]

We'll be going 4-6-0 at this rate. Sure Levy is working on something though.

You can't just keep signing Robbie Keane.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Also we're in for Nuri Sahin (who is being reported as getting encouraged to go to Anfield by Xabi Alonso much like Bellamy did to Joe Allen). The Alonso/Mourhino/Liverpool/Rodgers connections

So Bellamy said that Liverpool was a great place to play for but left shortly before Allen was signed?

[Jimmy]

Can like and enjoy a club without staying there yourself. The guy wanted to be nearer to his family at 34 years old, Joe Allen probably doesn't have the same needs.

I don't really see what point your trying to make, but the answer to your question is simply "yes."

[Summers]

Liverpool isn't a fantastic place to do anything other than avoid or leave.

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

That's harsh, I think Liverpools a great city.

[Summers]

And that's all the proof I needed. If you told me it was hot outside, I'd put a coat on.

He did have two spells with us after all and left to go to his hometown club. Just because he left doesn't mean he doesn't like it there.

Please take adebayor, failing that how about roque santa crud?

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

Any one from Madrid they could ask for as Part of the Modric deal? Realistically I mean...

[Lineker]

I'd love Ade back.

[Starvinho]

So in Chile is running the rumour that Angelo Henriquez (Striker, 18 years old) of Universidad de Chile, is on his way to Old Trafford and have his medical. Angelo has a pre-contract with the Mancs and a buy clause of 4m Euros that Manchester United can trigger till he turns 20. He is a deadly player and I just love him, has so much future. If he goes there I'll be so sad, I hate that team and he'll sit in the bench all season.

He has completed his medical at Bridgewater Hospital today and the signing should be confirmed soon. To be honest I don't know much about this lad, is he any good?

[Jimmy]

Yeah, Ade back would be excellent. Another, slightly younger, striker would also be nice. And with Kranjcar gone, a back up for Modric, wouldn't go a miss, too. (If he stays, obviously.)

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

According to Wikipedia he's scored 11 goals in his 17 starts for his current team (universidad), and has goals at evey level for Chile (except senior).

But would be interested to hear if any one has actually seen him play

Yes, we've been following him for a few years now and had the agreement in place for quite some time (2009/2010 I think it was). Potentially going to be an absolutely brilliant signing, has the makings of a great striker from what I've seen of him. I'd expect he'll possibly go out on loan for a season, maybe to stay at Universidad or somewhere in Europe (not sure what the deal is right now on the work permit?). Could (and in my mind should) turn out to be a steal at 4 million to be quite frank.

Loving the business we've done in this market and the system we have in place.

Saw a couple of his matches in the South American U-17. Looked amazing against Brazil and Colombia.

Wigan sign striker Arouna Kone from Levante on three-year contract.

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

Did Levante sign him permanently after a loan and then sell him on straight away? I know he was there last season on loan from Sevila

[Lineker]

Noted Pentagon goalscorer Marlon Harewood has joined Barnsley on a one year deal. So when Mido recovers from a three-month hamstring injury layoff, they will likely be their first-choice strike partnership. In 2012.

Blackpool have signed Adda Djeziri, Alberto Noguera and James Caton on free transfers and also hope to bring in Swansea forward Stephen Dobbie.

He plays for my local team so, yes. He is a fucking beast, I think he has hreat future ahead as long as he plays first team football. He scores his first goal 3 minutes after he came off bench for the first time. There is a lot of videos of his goals in Youtube
