Summer Transfer Window Thread 2015

Only seems like yesterday he signed for Man Utd.

Still such an odd case. I can't, off-hand, think of any other 'transfer' that has involved fraud convictions on the part of the selling club - usually it's the buying club that are the ones motivated to pull shenanigans.

Only seems like yesterday he signed for Man Utd.

And now he is finally free, a whole decade after being kidnapped.

Morgan Andersen could have done with being a bit more inventive when he made that story up. He could have gone all out with a tale of Mikel being spirited away by wizards and dragons, but alas.

Luis Suarez has signed for ISIS.

[Lineker]

Think he's probably bitten off more than he can chew there.

[Gazz]

At least he's out of FIFA and UEFA jurisdiction now.

[Gorka]

That's some pre-season training camp.

[Gazz]

It gives a whole new meaning to the term 'bombing down the wing'...

[brenchill]

He really does have explosive pace now.

[Colly]

Something terrorising defenses.

Hoffenheim forward Roberto Firmino will be moving to England next season, according to the player's agent. Roger Wittmann, who represents the 23-year-old, would not confirm where the striker's exact destination was - although he has recently been linked with a move to Manchester United. "All I can say is that he's moving to England," Wittmann told Germany's Bild newspaper. The Brazil international is current representing his country at the Copa America.

Brede Hangeland has extended his contract at Crystal Palace.

Hmm. We were linked to him last summer, although I suspect he's been linked everywhere and I've just not read about it.

The Telegraph are reporting that Liverpool are considering a £3.5m move for teenage Charlton Athletic defender Joe Gomez.

Brede Hangeland has extended his contract at Crystal Palace.

As has Gareth McAuley at West Brom.

Sky sources: Southampton have agreed a £5.1m fee with Malaga for Spain striker Juanmi.

[stokeriño]

Totally read that as 'Jumanji' for a fraction of a second.

[EddieG]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[Hobo]

I think I picked him up cheaply on FM years ago for my Viking Stravanger team.

He was wonderful!
