2013 Summer Transfer Thread

[stokeriño]

I've seen a bunch of people pick him in their fantasy teams this season, to whom I ask "...You do realise he still plays for Swansea, right?"

Perhaps the negative points from Saturday will have been a wake-up call.

Not that I would pick him if he became an Arsenal defender either. I wouldn't pick any Arsenal defenders.

[Lineker]

Not that they have that many defenders.

[stokeriño]

The three of them they do have, I would not pick.

[HailtotheYo]

Their best one is on the bench

I picked Vorm. Always go for players in Europe if possible.

BBC always seem to pick the stupidest comments for Sportsday Live. "I wouldn't want Fellaini, he's not United material. We should sign Mata.". Might as well get Messi too.

[King Ellis]

I think Per Mertesacker was one of the top defenders in Sky's FF last year.

Given our summer transfer policy so far, I wouldn't be shocked if the BBC Sport headline one of these days was "Barcelona reject Man Utd's £25mil bid for Messi".

Obviously. The BBC is nothing if not well versed in trolling and flamebaiting on a corporate scale.

[Lineker]

Derp.

[stokeriño]

Oh wait, what I should have said was "encouraging debate".

[Crybaby Bunting]

So the Arsenal bid for Cabaye was £10m (which has been rejected)

What are Arsenal playing at?

[Lineker]

...that seriously isn't far off five gold coins and a fatted calf.

[Colly]

£10,000,001 is what I heard.

[MJB]

Arsenal and United are now competing for the 'worst bid' award. Shocking from Arsenal to bid £10m for Cabaye.

And United, £16m for Fellaini (who signed for £15m) and £12m for Baines (the same bid that has already been rejected). Fuck sake.

[METALMAN]

Cabaye's shit

[Colly]

Cabaye's shit is handsomer than me

[METALMAN]

Also the Cabaye is beautiful stuff is really boring now. You Newcastle lot are just as tiresome as the Villa and Spurs fans.

Go on, have a wank.

[Colly]

Good.

You hadn't edited that picture in before I put the . Looks a bit weird now. In for a penny I guess:

It's a shame he didn't do a Laurent Robert and just end up in his pants.

Apparently Liverpool are lining up Leandro Damiao in case the Willian deal falls through.

That'd be a MASSIVE fuck you to Spurs. I love it.

[stokeriño]

Sure, because after all the faff from Spurs and whoever else has been in for him, a last-minute approach from Liverpool is definitely what will tip the balance.
