The Summer Transfer Window Thread 2014/15

[Berober]

Done Deals?

[brenchill]

I'll be the judge of that.

[Cymbols]

We should try putting Joe Bennett on the wing, see if the same thing happens.

Worst thing is, we actually tried that against Cardiff, to no avail.

[The Lusophone]

Rooney did improve a lot, but since 2009/10 he hasn't played really well.

The 2011-12 season didn't happen then? 34 goals in 43 games in all competitions isn't half bad.

I can remember about 30 of those 34 goals were tap-ins.

Are tap-ins worth less than other kinds of goals?

[Summers]

He was shocking. Also very confused.

Seeing the price of Shaw/Lallana just confirms people should shop abroad.

[Whisper]

In before the same Liverpool fans who claim Shaw is over priced, call Lallana a 'bargain buy'.

[DavidMarrio]

I don't think you'll get any liverpool fan here saying Lallana for 25 Mil is a bargain. The fact they kept asking for 30 and we didn't budge is good. He's overpriced, but I expected to be over paying for him anyway.

[METALMAN]

I wouldn't pay a penny for someone with such stupid hair.

It does nothing to prove you played well.

[Colly]

Got to be in it to win it. Just look at that Klose World Cup goal graphic.

[Rafael]

Not to say he doesn't have his merits, but is Klose the greatest striker to have ever played a World Cup because he scored 15 times from close range?

Nothing wrong with scoring 15 from Klose range...

Actually it does, because you have to be in the right position to score those '30 tap-ins'

Which 4 weren't tap-ins, out of curiosity?

[Gorka]

It's official!

I wasn't literally saying that he scored exactly 4 goals. :/

Demba Ba was one of the top goalscorers in the Prem before moving to Chelsea. But was he playing well for us? No.

[Colly]

I can't even remember what a goal looks like. Demba

[stokeriño]

Now Demba's trademark is that he falls over every time he scores. I'm not sure if this is impressive or not.

[Colly]

He's praying you intolerant prick.

[stokeriño]

You know what I mean!

[Sam]

There's a bit of a quality difference between Ba and Rooney. Also why does it matter where he scores the goals? Ruud Van Nistelrooy barely scored a goal outside the box doesn't mean he wasn't a top class striker.

Not that Rooney is that type of player anyway, he creates goals and chances as well as scoring them.
