The Summer Transfer Window Thread 2014/15

[brenchill]

Haven't seen much of Benatia at Roma, but I've only heard good things, and he was a fucking beast at Udinese.

But how did he perform in his early years at Clairefontaine?!

Who's Claire Fontaine?

[Ant]

Think she married Karl Media

[Summers]

It's Blackpool. I'm going for a trial with them on Tuesday. Summ's up there now signing a two year deal.

DONE DEAL.

Sky Sports understands former Aston Villa and Sunderland defender Carlos Cuellar is poised to join Norwich City. Cuellar, who left Sunderland earlier this summer, is currently undergoing a medical.

Sky sources understand France international Rod Fanni is edging closer to a move to Leicester City after flying to England for talks with Nigel Pearson’s side.

[Ant]

King Carlos has dropped down a peg since he left us.

[MDK]

Fanni

Micah Richards and Matija Nastasic, Scott Sinclair and John Guidetti look to be heading out of Manchester City, according to Manuel Pellegrini.

Bayern have confirmed that they interested in the possibility of signing Diego Godin.

Villa have dropped down a peg since he left you too.

Micah Richards and Matija Nastasic, Scott Sinclair and John Guidetti look to be heading out of Manchester City, according to Manuel Pellegrini.

I don't mind Sinclair and Guidetti leaving, but not Richards and Nastasic. I still don't understand why we signed Sagna when Richards is perfectly good backup, and I'll be damned if Boyata gets any closer to the starting eleven.

[TCO]

Writing was on the wall for Richards yesterday when they played Clichy rightback. He's fourth choice rightback at a club that has 3!

Hopefully he's on his way to Newcastle!

[King Ellis]

And with that, a mighty cheer went up from the heroes of Elland Road. They had banished the awful Paddy Kenny forever, because his birthday was cursed. Now let's all celebrate with a cool glass of turnip juice

[Lineker]

Chelsea have announced that Marko Marin will spend this season on loan with Fiorentina.

Liverpool defender Tiago Ilori is heading out on loan again to link up with Bordeaux. Ilori spent last season out on loan in Spain with Granada, and will continue his development in France this term.

Homegrown players rule for the CL I guess. Although then why Richards is going before Boyata is a mystery...

[Gazz]

An administrative mix up meant that Man City registered with UEFA as Belgian.

Maybe because Richards wants to actually play football? Wasn't he not even eligible for the PL winners medal last season because he didn't clock enough minutes or something?

[Ant]

I'd take Sinclair like a shot.

[Gorka]

He wasn't much good in our first season in the Premier League, goals mainly came from penalties. He's still a decent option for any mid-table club but he may always be a great Championship player.

Sinclair is woeful.

[Ant]

Sinclar used to be brilliant. It's only City who ruined him. As they did Rodwell and Milner.

[Colly]

Milner's fine.
