2011 Summer Transfer Window Thread

[The Future]

Cool to see an English player trying his luck abroad, they should do this more often.

[The Quasi Juice]

One of many players going to HSV soon I'm sure, due to Arnesen now working there. He also wants to loan Bruma and Van Aanholt.

[Summers]

Wonder if any English clubs wanted Mancienne. Is he no longer highly rated?

[stokeriño]

Chelsea clearly haven't wanted Mancienne for years anyway. The only reason he hasn't previously been sold is because no one other than Wolves wanted him and they didn't have any money, hence the repeated loans.

(Edit: Summ - guess not. )

I would expect PVA to get another half-season English club loan. Not sure what's going on with Bruma in any way these days.

[METALMAN]

I played Mancienne in the Champions League final you know.

[Colly]

Fair play to him if he goes, he'll be moving to a league where despite the players being largely inferior in the eyes of the British press they actually have the mentality to win things, something that our Premier League based England stars have failed to have for years, instead blindly answering actual human contact with 'yeah, my favourite music is Drake'.

What the fuck is Drake and why does it automatically become my favourite noise when I sign my first professional contract? Seriously?

Stop blathering nonsense, boy.

[METALMAN]

Drake is alright.

Although it is funny you say that. One of my friends who is obsessed with Drake is now a pro footballer. >_>

[IAceI]

Bet he eats at Nando's all the time too, eh?

[Guest Neon Noodle]

Normally I'm all CANADA CANADA but Drake sucks.

So that's not just Leeds players then?

[TCO]

Is it overly optimistic to suggest tha twith Cabaye on his way in and Tiote already at the club that it's likely Gervinho will go to Newcastle and not Arsenal or Liverpool?

[HailtotheYo]

I'd rather we went after Sakho and Samba for our back line.

And splash for Benzema

[9 to 5]

We nearly got Larsson in January, and I think we will be making another serius offer for him.

Wasn't he quoted saying he wanted European football?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Liverpool have lined up a surprise move for Monaco forward Benjamin Moukandjo as an alternative to Lille's Gervinho.

No doubt he's better in real life but in my Football Manager game I got rid of Moukandjo pretty quick - he wasn't very good.

[Lineker]

Michael Owen's contract has been extended for a further year, in a deal that will see the forward complete a third season as a first-team player.

Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Michael has proved to be a top footballer. It’s unfortunate Michael didn’t get more opportunities but the form of Chicharito put everyone in the shade and his partnership with Rooney proved invaluable. I am delighted Michael is staying for a further year and we will look to give him more opportunities in the new season.”

Michael Owen said: “I’m delighted to have agreed a one-year extension to my contract. To play alongside so many great players, under an exceptional manager, and in front of so many incredibly passionate supporters, is a real inspiration. I can’t wait for next season to start."

Bye Dimitar.

[Starvinho]

I'm very happy with that. He's an awesome player to have in the squad, the perfect professional with bags for of experience and he'll bag the odd few goals too. I am suprised he didn't want to move on for more rgular first team football though.

[IAceI]

Bored of the transfer window. We have to pretty much sit on our thumbs it feels for the big boys to do their main business so they know who is surplus to requirements, then the next tier come in and pick up who they need and so on and so forth and by the time we make an actual signing its August. Stupid transfer 'windows'.. just get rid. Even if it does mean a March bid for your best player

[Summers]

Peterborough United have accepted an offer from a Premier League side for striker Craig Mackail-Smith.
