The Summer Transfer Window Thread 2014/15

Whilst we've got a glut of strikers and midfielder, our defence is worryingly cack outside of Wes, Moore and DeLaet. I don't know why Nigel keeps signing cover for positions we already have when we barely have a first string of defenders. Our left wingback has looked weak for four years plus.

Leicester have Paul Konchesky!

[King Ellis]

I'm number 1 around here

You're more like a number 2.

Latest report from Italy is the claim that Marco van Ginkel has refused to move on loan to AC Milan because he wants to stay at Chesea.

Bless his cotton socks.

He's a liability and has been his entire time with the team.

[Nerf]

Paul Konchesky is back in the prem? :crying:

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Spurs have signed the lanky Argie centre back.

[brenchill]

Liverpool legend

[Arjen Robben]

Fucking hell, I'd completely forgotten Konchesky played for Liverpool.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I try to forget that Konchesky played for Spurs too.

[King Ellis]

With a pedigree like that, Van Gaal should sign him to backup Shaw.

Rich likes me really but he has to stick to EWB Kayfabe

[Arjen Robben]

Xabi Alonso apparently going to Bayern.

Xabi Alonso apparently going to Bayern.

Is that a position they're really in need of covering?

It'd surely mean Khedira will stay though. Can't see them letting go of both.

[Liam]

I quite liked Konchesky when he played for Fulham.

Just to be contrary.

[Arjen Robben]

Well I think Javi Martinez has recently done his cruciates in so I guess he's meant as a replacement for him?

Rich and brenchill sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

I took a photo.

Well from the bias of a Liverpool fan, i'm relieved that many of the deals for the top players supposed to be signing for rivals appear to have fallen through

-If Alonso goes, surely that means no Khedira for anybody.

-Falcao looks like he won't be coming to the EPL.

-Surely its too late in the window for Vidal to leave Juventus for Man U, unless there's a done deal Juve are holding back on to replace him?

-Cavani looks likely to stay at PSG for the time being, as Arsenal who were briefly linked with him, have apparently ruled out forward signings?

-Benatia, who was linked to all other top 4 teams (plus Man U), has probably gone to Bayern.

Overall pretty good outcome, though Chelsea still made top signings in Cesc, Costa and Luis - and City with Fernando and to a lesser extent Mangala. Their squads are just too good right now, and i'd pick City/Chelsea for the title, with Arsenal and Liverpool competing for 3/4, along with Spurs close.

If it were up to me at Chelsea, right now I would be throwing £19 million (or whatever it is) on the desk of the Swansea chairman and promptly bundling Bony into a car.
