The Summer Transfer Window Thread 2014/15

[Gazz]

I believe this is what you're looking for:

Is he going to play in trainers? That is going to seriously hinder him on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke...

[Ant]

Gerrard should have used that excuse

[Gazz]

He does sort of look like Gerrard's illegitimate lovechild...

[TCO]

Would that make him half brothers with Neil Mellor, Stevie's first lovechild?

[Nerf]

He does sort of look like Gerrard's illegitimate lovechild...

[Gazz]

Imagine if you could create a test tube footballer with all the skills and swarthy good looks of Xabi Alonso and all the umm... err... Liverpudlianism of Gerrard.

[TCO]

To be fair, a combination of Alonso and Gerrard in their primes would almost be the perfect midfield player.

Moreno has the whole ginger Spaniard thing that Alonso has going on but is not nearly as handsome.

[Ant]

A Ginger Spaniard.

That's like cross engineering for them to be able to go out in the sun.

[brenchill]

Liverpool in SHOCK Song and Cavani RAID for £52m according to BBC rumours.

[Baddar]

Sky Sources (and Jim White) reckon Mehdi Benatia is on his way to England to discuss a move to Utd from Roma.

I won't claim I've seen much of him, but I did read that he was regarded as one of, if not the best defender in Serie A last season.

Where's our Serie A expert, Nerf, when you need him?

Edit: Saw a 2min clip on YouTube and decided he's better than what we have now.

Looks more composed going forward than half of our midfield too. Says a lot.

[The Lusophone]

He's hunting down Falcao whilst carrying some easily leanable on equipment.

[Gazz]

To be fair, a combination of Alonso and Gerrard in their primes would almost be the perfect midfield player.

A well timed tackle or well anticipated interception, good ball control, composure on the ball, looks up, spots the forward making a run and pings a forty yard pinpoint pass straight into Row Z?

Thought JohnnyPerfect was our Serie A expert?

Yeah, JohnnyPerfect has been a Serie A fan all his life, Nerf is a fan of leagues so obscure even streaming sites aren't sure they're real.

[Ant]

I have this image of Nerf having to watch an Outer Limits style message before each forgotten league he tries to watch online

[Baddar]

Reports in Germany suggest that Bayern are close to signing Benatia too. I think we know how this one will end up.

[Nerf]

Haven't seen much of Benatia at Roma, but I've only heard good things, and he was a fucking beast at Udinese.

[Ant]

You can have Clark and Baker for £5

[Baddar]

But how did he perform in his early years at Clairefontaine?!

[MDK]

Sure, I need some people to clean my flat.
