2013 Summer Transfer Thread

[Ant]

Easy, tiger.

[stokeriño]

That's the most idiotic lie of a transfer story since the Juan Mata to Barcelona crap.

[Ant]

I know it is most likely bullshit but thought i'd post it to see the general reaction.

And in a wonderfully-timed article from the CFC website, Mourinho has confirmed that Lukaku, De Bruyne and Kalas will be part of the Chelsea senior squad this season.

Mourinho confirms that three additions to the squad for next season are Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne and Tomas Kalas, after their successful respective loans at West Brom, Werder Bremen and Vitesse.

'They are good players with a very good value in the market and we have these players this season for free, after an investment that the club did before,' he says.

'After the development of the players on loan it is the right moment for them to be back. They are very young with space to develop, they will be better year after year and I can imagine in five years they are much better than today - but what they have today is more than enough to belong to this squad.

Anzhi are preparing a £23m bid for Benteke according to a Russian Journalist on Twitter (allegedly).

I wouldn't mind that. Put another £2m on there though and we will accept it.

Calm down, Paul.

I know 'we' is the common terminology when referring to your football club, but the way you apply it is fucking weird.

[Ant]

Yes. I am the weird one.

[Colly]

Sweet.

[Berober]

Yes. We am the weird one.

[Ant]

You guys really fucking suck sometimes, you know that right?

Honestly happier about that than any other piece of business we could do this transfer window. All three look like top talents and I can't wait to see what they can do for us.

[Colly]

I can't wait for JFK to tell us the same thing about Sammy Ameobi.

[Nerf]

I really rate Kalas from what I've seen, glad he's getting his shot it seems.

Norwich have made Blackburn's Martin Olsson their fourth summer signing. The Sweden left-back, who can also play in midfield, returns to the Premier League on a four-year contract after Rovers accepted an undisclosed offer.

Good luck playing him at left back, he is dog shit there. As a winger? Yeah, the boy can play.

I'd imagine that they would play him mainly on the wing, as they've also recently signed Javier Garrido, who was impressive last season. Norwich are quietly going about their business, making some smart signings. Particularly Van Wolfswinkel, the lad can play.

Please tell me that's a Dire Straits reference, I'm presuming so but there is a chance it was accidental...

Everton have had a £5m bid rejected by Wigan for the F.A Cup

[Jimmy]

All reports I've read have suggested that the FA Cup is happy at Wigan. They're a good club, it's the vocal point of their history, why would it want to leave for a club where it might not get as much exposure?

[Ant]

According to reports it is insecure about its future now as it feels it will be replaced by the Johnsons Paint Trophy under Owen Coyle.
