The Summer Transfer Window Thread 2014/15

[Berober]

It's the end of an era, best of luck in the future Hilario!

[Thrilla]

I imagine Hutchinson will find a home in the Championship fairly swiftly.

[stokeriño]

I think that Sheff Weds want him permanently after he was on loan there last season.

[Baddar]

Some tasty rumours this morning...

Arsenal want Khedira for 23m.

Man City are trying to sign Willy Caballero from Malaga to challenge Joe Hart for the #1 spot.

And most interestingly for United fans, The Daily Star has claimed that Arturo Vidal has said he'd rather move to Man Utd than go anywhere else. Haven't seen any quotes there, so I'm calling bullshit for now.

[stokeriño]

Well it *is* the Daily Star...

[Baddar]

Others have reported it too - The Daily Star seem to have picked up on it from elsewhere and printed it themselves.

Cameron Stewart is having a medical at Ipswich ahead of a proposed move to Portman Road. The winger spent much of last season on loan at Leeds United.

Sky Sports understands Celtic and Derby County are attempting to hijack Hull City’s swoop for Alefe Santos.

Leeds United forward Ross McCormack is in talks with Fulham over a possible move to Craven Cottage.

Sky Sources understand Sporting Lisbon have made a move for Dundee United midfielder Ryan Gauld.

Blackburn Rovers have completed the permanent signing of Luke Varney after a successful spell on loan last season from Leeds.

Chelsea have confirmed Mark Schwarzer has signed new one-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

[Lineker]

Adam Lallana signs for Liverpool.

Here he is leaning on something.

[EddieG]

The link to the photo gallery on the LFC site gives me a 404, so no idea if he's leaned on anything yet.

[Lineker]

Sky Sports saying that the Emre Can deal will probably be announced tomorrow.

Ipswich have announced that Cameron Stewart has signed a three-year deal at the club to become their second signing of the summer.

Derby County have completed the signing of teenage winger Alefe Santos.

Blackburn Rovers and Dickson Etuhu have confirmed the player's departure from the club by mutual agreement.

[DavidMarrio]

It isn't an official signing until there is a picture of them doing the Liverpool Lean and a picture of the physio checking up on them.

[Nerf]

Extremely happy with that signing. Not the marquee signing some fans are waiting for, but he immediately improves the team and I'm sure there's more to come. Exciting.

[Lineker]

Derby County midfielder Will Hughes has committed his future to the club by putting pen to paper on a new long-term contract.

DJ Campbell has joined Dickson Etuhu in leaving Blackburn Rovers by mutual agreement.

[Jimmy]

I don't want players I like going to Liverpool.

Excellent signing, though. A little expensive, but I think he'll be well worth the money.

[Lineker]

Mark Schwarzer has fuelled speculation that Frank Lampard could move to Melbourne City after revealing his former Chelsea team-mate has asked him about life in the Victoria state capital. Lampard is a free agent after announcing last month that he would be leaving Chelsea at the end of his contract after 13 years at Stamford Bridge. He is set to move to the MLS next March to play for New York City, but could first follow in David Villa's footsteps and move to Australia on a short-term deal.

[Lineker]

Barcelona's sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta has described Luis Suarez as "humble" and "an excellent player" after the Liverpool forward apologised for biting Giorgio Chiellini.

Just get together already, guys! No need for a saga!

He also said that bids have been received for Alexis Sanchez.

[Jimmy]

They'd be crazy to let Sanchez go after the season and world cup he's had.

[DavidMarrio]

Suarez only apologized cause Barca made him. Hopefully in an ideal world we can get Sanchez and cash for him, supposedly he wants to stay at Barca and doesn't really wanna leave but if we were to get Sanchez and cash I would be made up. We'd be losing one of the best players in the world but we would gain an amazing talent, plus the money can be used to improve other positions.

[Rafael]

Real Madrid are interested in Keylor Navas. Meanwhile, Toni Kroos is close to signing a five-year deal with Los Galacticos.

Formerly Atlético Madrid's, Tiago has agreed a two-year contract with Chelsea.

Newcastle Utd targets Alexandre Lacazette and Sylvain Grenier are facing crunch talks with Lyon.

Hamburg claim they're on the brink of signing Pierre-Michel Lasogga. Fuck

Sunderland are considering making an improved bid for Cardiff's Jordon Mutch.

Fabio Borini is expected to remain at Liverpool this summer.

[TCO]

If Liverpool could get Alexis as well as a huge fee for Suraez then they'd be doing very well for themselves.

I'd love if they sold him to Barca, drew them in the group stages of the Champions League and Suarez missed the games through suspension!

Never seen Lasogga play so I'm not that disappointed. Love to get Lacazette though, he's very pacy, French and handsome. He definitely fits the bill!
