Summer Transfer Window Thread 2015

[brenchill]

Damien Duff signs for Shamrock Rovers on an 18 month contract.

[Hobo]

Some may remember him as Pat Fenlon, former Hibernian manager!

[Rafael]

Stewart Downing is returning to Middlesbrough on a 5M transfer, possibly rising to 7M with add-ons.

[DavidMarrio]

That's a weird one, I know it's his home town club but he played well for West Ham last season.

[Adam]

The allure of hometown clubs cannot be understated - look at Craig Bellamy. It paid off for him too, a year after dropping to play for Cardiff from one of the top clubs in the country, he was back in the top flight. Great signing for Boro really.

Getting your money back for a 30 year old winger isn't bad business at all.

[Arjen Robben]

Think we've also signed, or are on the verge of signing Christian Stuani from Espanyol.

And Tomas Kalas

[Nerf]

Lacazette is available for as little as £35m. Not getting my hopes up

[brenchill]

If Liverpool could get Lacazette for under £45m, that would be a pretty decent piece of business swapping him for Sterling.

[TCO]

Lacazette to Newcastle was a distinct possibility last season until he completely blew up and became world class this season.

Just like (in smaller proportions) Aubameyang and Giroud. I remember we were this close to signing them back in 2011/2012.

Sunderland have completed the signing of Dynamo Kyiv striker Jeremain Lens for 8.5M.

[brenchill]

Sunderland buy absolute garbage every season.

[EddieG]

Clasie to Southampton is a done deal.

It was more West Ham getting rid of him after a good season that kinda baffled me a bit. 

[Whisper]

Confirmation from LVG that Valdes is, indeed, on his way. Refused to play for the reserves last season apparently - not sure what he expected.

Surely increases the chances of De Gea staying? Though we still have Lindegaard so I guess we would still only need a number 1.

[Arjen Robben]

I hope De Gea stays. Not even a Man Utd fan and I'm so fucking sick of teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona just fucking about unsettling players to get what they want all the time, and I hate that they always do get their way.

[Matt]

Lindegaard as number one and no improvement in defence is the only way I can see me being happy with Man Utds squad the way it is going.

 

Oh and we've signed a champions league winner today.... Ross Turnbull

[stokeriño]

I hope De Gea stays. Not even a Man Utd fan and I'm so fucking sick of teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona just fucking about unsettling players to get what they want all the time, and I hate that they always do get their way.

"Unsettling players" meaning what in this context? Offering them career options that they want to pursue?
