The 2012 Summer Transfer Window thread

Gary McAllister was 35 when he came to Liverpool and helped us to a cup treble. Laurent Blanc helped Man Utd to a league title aged 36. Players like Karagounis can still come in and do a job - they may not be worth millions but they can be worth a punt. I'm shocked no Prem team went for Danny Murphy to be honest, unless they did and he turned them down for Blackburn.

Gary Mc what a Larry Zbyszko.

Pfft that's MLS level lunacy

Houston Dynamo have just rolled out their new "very exciting signing" Giles Barnes, so there's a way to go to achieve that yet.

[Lineker]

Obligatory 'he's no Kris Boyd' post.

You been living in a cave or something?

[Berober]

Yeah! Lineker's been unfunny for ages!

Michael Tonge to Leeds on loan from Stoke, linking up with Neil Warnock again from their Sheffield United days.

[King Ellis]

A loan? Matt will be pleased!

[Matt]

Meh, we really need a centre midfielder so fair enough. #69 it is!

If anyone actually gives a damn, Ganso is close to signing with Santos' rivals, Sao Paulo. Gremio are also rumoured to be in talks with the player. It should be done by next week.

[Crybaby Bunting]

So does this mean that Santos are selling Ganso so that they can keep Neymar? Or do you expect a hilarious situations where Neymar will announce that he wants to leave at the end of the season, leaving Santos in a horrible situation?

[Pesci]

What happened to Ganso? Has he just kind of faded out now? I remember hearing he's basically lost his place in the national set-up.

[DavidMarrio]

Doesn't he have a dodgy knee that's been hampering him? Or he keeps getting injured.

[9 to 5]

He got Ganso bombed.

[Rafael]

Ganso hasn't played well since early 2011 due to injuries, and he's been kept in the national team just because he was good two years ago. Neymar will probably leave in 2013 due to the fact that Santos right now aren't even in the top 10 of the national championship. But the team is not worried, Felipe Anderson is ready to step up.

[GoGo Yubari]

Posted it in the MLS thread but probably worth posting here; Marcus Hahnemann appears to be set to sign for Sounders, probably as our backup keeper.

[Rafael]

Done deal, Ganso is going to Sao Paulo.

[Noah]

So I'm hearing Emile Heskey and Michael Ballack to the A-League.

So does that make us the new MLS?

Edit:- I'm now reading Heskey is close to a done deal but Ballack wants too much money(although the deal isn't dead yet).
