2013 Summer Transfer Thread

[King Ellis]

Anyone trying to out-pun Myke is only going to end up on the losing side, I can only offer Maicon-dolences to them.

[Hobo]

It doesn't actually matter if Rooney doesn't start for United, Hodgson will pick him anyway.

Rooney probably just wants to leave to get away from Moyes.

[Rafael]

PSG have completed the signing of Roma defender Marquinhos for £27.5m.

Crystal Palace signed Jose Campagna from Sevilla for an undisclosed fee. He'll be on a four-year deal.

[Colly]

The whole 'Rooney won't play' stuff is complete nonsense anyway. Even if Van Persie goes another injury free season he'll still get plenty of games. Frankly as an excuse for kicking off at a club its about as believable as 'I liked last years financial institution sponsor more than this years', or 'Joe Kinnear got my name wrong'. Aka fuck off Wayne, Papiss and Charles. That is all.

[Nerf]

Cisse's reasons are kinda legit, tbf :/

[Lineker]

The Campana deal is old news.

Aston Villa centre-back Ciaran Clark has signed a new three-year deal tying him to the club until 2016.

[Colly]

Cisse's reasons are kinda legit, tbf :/

My religion forbids me to promote loans companies that charge interest, as long as they aren't Virgin Money or Barclays. Sounds legit.

[Nerf]

I totally forgot Virgin Money sponsored Newcastle. Oh, well, yeah.

[Colly]

That's before you go into the fact that Tiote and Sissoko amongst others are happily playing pre season games in the new kit, while Cisse's agent is trying to get him a new deal.

[Summers]

Word on twitter is that us and the Barcodes are in for Gomis.

[Ant]

Plus Bent is leaving for Newcastle. I'll be sad to see him go to be honest.

[Khain]

ACF Fiorentina ‏@ACF_Fiorentina 25m

Raggiunto l'accordo con il Manchester City Football Club per la cessione a titolo definitivo del calciatore Stevan Jovetic.

OK, City now has a shitload of strikers

So Blackburn is looking at Yann Songo'o .... who got cut by Sporting Kansas City ...

[Rafael]

Bolton signed Gary Fraser on a free transfer after he was released by Hamilton.

Charlton signed Richard Wood, who had previously been at Coventry City.

PSG signed young left-back Lucas Digne from Lille.

[Nerf]

Conor Coady has joined Sheffield United on a six-month loan.

[TroutMaskReplica]

Jovetic just another missed opportunity by Wenger. Higuain, Jovetic, Rooney and Suarez we were 'in for'. We'll get none of em.

[Ant]

According to the Valencia President, Spurs have made a £20m offer for Robert Soldado.

Priced out of Spurs move maybe?

[Gazz]

I'd take Soldado over Benteke all day

[Noah]

Saw the most amusing headline, on this page of Facebook footy rumors. "MANCHESTER UNITED SET TO BE REJECTED OVER £60 MILLION BID FOR GARETH BALE"

[Plubby]

Sounds about $40 million short.
