2013 Summer Transfer Thread

[brenchill]

Pretty sure I could've made the PFA team if I had a devil on my badge...

But would you be worth £100m?

[METALMAN]

The main thing I got from those keeping stats is that Petr Cech is the best.

[Jimmy]

De Gea is a much better keeper, what the fuck are you guys talking about?

Because he cost a larger amount of money? I've seen nothing to suggest De Gea is anything but useless. The guy has spent the majority of his career at United being a laughing stock.

Seriously?

It's like you've never watched football and you just base your opinions on the people you like on here.

[Adam]

Got to agree with Jimmy. Anyone who thinks De Gea was a laughing stock last season has paid literally zero attention to his or Man Utd's season.

Anyone who wouldn't choose De Gea over Guzan right now is plain daft.

What people?

I started the "Guzan > Dea Gea" thing, so how am I following anyone's lead?

He'd probably get in the England team though as a striker despite scoring less goals than some goalkeepers.

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

BBC are reporting that Arsenal have had a 30m bid rejected for Suarez.

Interesting.

[stokeriño]

Seems to me like a ploy to make Madrid wake the fuck up so that they can get on and complete the Higuain sale.

[If_You_Wanna_Be_The_Man]

It would be funny if he joined Arsenal after saying he wanted to leave England.

But yeah, I can't see it.

[Nerf]

Well, I guess that rules out the stupid "you'll only get £30m for him" argument.

[stokeriño]

From a Premier League rival, sure.

[Plubby]

Nerf's understanding of football economics is like the Peanuts characters in that American insurance ad saying "I think it should be five cents."

EDIT: Just as I post this, Nerf also posts a deal for a player that SHOULD be five cents! The hilarity!

[Nerf]

In other news, Blackburn have agreed a fee for Jay Spearing.

[ZJ Penn]

Did anyone say £30mil? I think Madrid could get him for between 35-40 and an English team is looking at 40-50.

But yeah seems like Arsenal are using it to push through the Higuain deal. Although Madrid might now come back and say if they're bidding that for Suarez they want the same or at least higher than what they're getting.

[Ant]

Ugh. Goal (more specifically Duncan Castles) is reporting Chelsea want Benteke.

Am i right in thinking Castles is Mourinhos best mate, Stok?

[brenchill]

I've just had a bid of 30p rejected for Suarez.

Think it was Rich that said we'd be lucky to get £30m. May have been Jimmy, can't remember.

[Jimmy]

Not me. I think you'll get anything between 35-45.

£1.5m actually

I'm not daft. I just want more from a keeper than shot stopping.
