2013 Summer Transfer Thread

[Rafael]

Bayern is planning a £14m move for Man City's Micah Richards. Wow.

West Brom are looking for Atletico Nacional's Macnelly Torres. They're also leading the race to sign Scott Sinclair on loan.

AZ Alkmaar's Jozy Altidore is one of Sunderland's top targets.

PSV are set to sign Chelsea's Jeffrey Bruma for £3m

Juventus are trying to persuade Kolarov to move to Juventus along with Carlos Tevez.

Newcastle are looking to sign James Tomkins and Darren Bent, Pardew's top targets.

£14m for Micah Richards? That's just stupid. I'm not saying he's not a good player, but that kind of fee is a joke given how little he has played in recent seasons.

[Cheeky Hughes]

As much as I like Micah, £14m for our second choice right-back is a fantastic piece of business if it comes off.

[EddieG]

PSV have already completed the Bruma transfer.

[Ant]

Not seen much of the Confed Cup but what is Brown ideye like? Villa and a few other teams have been linked with him.

Sky Sports reporting Everton have rejected a bid for Baines from United.

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

Can't see the point of that one if it's true. Baines is 28 I think.

[Jimmy]

Dutch club Vitesse have denied that the Ivory Coast striker Wilfried Bony is about to sign for Swansea City.

A statement read: "On Thursday 27 June various media reported that Wilfried Bony makes a move to Premier League club Swansea City.

"This message is incorrect. For the striker, last season top scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie, is a lot of interest and indeed Swansea City is one of the interested clubs. However, a transfer to Swansea City is not an issue at this time."

[Jimmy]

Can't see the point of that one if it's true. Baines is 28 I think.

Didn't he create the most goal scoring opportunities last year? Seems like a good signing to me. He knows Moyes, constantly over performs for Everton, is a considerable improvement on Evra and he's not too old yet by any means. Also doesn't stop any young left backs developments because Baines is a little too old to be a very long term replacement.

Didn't United sign Sherringham when he was pretty old? That still worked out just fine.

A poor man's Emenike.

He's young and english. Just these two make him worth £10m.

[Baddar]

Sky say United have bid for Baines, Everton say he's not for sale.

[brenchill]

Utd have had a bid of £10m rejected apparently. There's just something a bit wrong about paying £15m+ for a 28 year old LB...

[Lineker]

Well, yeah, but never accept the first offer is negotiations 101.

[Baddar]

I'm quietly confident we'll get him, and I'm glad it's gone past more than paper talk.

[Rafael]

He's good, but he's no Nicklas Helenius.

[Ant]

I should think not. He's a striker.

[Rafael]

He's good but he's no Nicklas Helenius Danny Simpson.

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

Evra showed that's he's not finished last season, so if he's got one or two seasons left of decent form it doesn't seem worth replacing him with a left back who isn't much younger than him.

[EddieG]

Utd have had a bid of £10m rejected apparently. There's just something a bit wrong about paying £15m+ for a 28 year old LB...

Almost as mad as paying around 30m for a striker of the same age?
