The Summer Transfer Window Thread 2014/15

If it's less than £20mil then it represents great value. Balotelli is harmless compared to Suarez. Bit of a hot-head and a bit childish but his ability is there for everyone to see. There'll be a few crazy moments but he'd be a great addition.

I like the signing and I hate Liverpool.

Except for that whole throwing darts at people thing.

Who the hell is this Mattia Destro fellow that Chelsea are being linked with this week?

[Mad Jack]

Roma striker, almost 1 goal in two games since joining Roma in 2012 (19 in 41).

Can't remember him missing quarter of a season for that.

Chris Ecclescake with a gold mask.

The go to latest beast striker on FM so that's where that story has come from.

You're in for a young Portuguese striker called To Madeira too.

Are you sure that wasn't the shipping instructions on their luggage?

[Jimmy]

Spurs have been linked with Destro all summer, too. Can't say I've seen him play, but he's got a decent goal record.

Also, the rumours I saw were Fellaini and Hernandez for 24 mil combined. Still, no thanks.

[Gazz]

Why not?

Spurs could sell £24m worth of afro wigs easily.

[Mad Jack]

Hernandez and Fellaini for £24m combined would be superb business for whoever brought them.

@JamesPearceEcho Any truth is these Balotelli on loan rumours mate?

James Pearce‏@JamesPearceEcho

@cn83lfc No truth whatsoever. There’s more chance of the manager registering Colin Pascoe to play.

Thank Christ. Do not want a striker that cannot score.

[Mad Jack]

A striker that's averaged more than 1 goal in two since moving to Milan 'can't score'?

[EddieG]

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Yeah, the idea that Balotelli can't score is ridiculous.

[Gazz]

I expect a photo of Balotelli leaning on something by Friday lunchtime then.

[Baddar]

Balotelli would be a dangerous signing for any team in the PL - dangerous in both senses.

A striker that's averaged more than 1 goal in two since moving to Milan 'can't score'?

No, a striker that's taken 219 shots to score 17 goals 'can't score.'

20 in 59 for Inter, then 20 in 54 for City, then 26 in 43 for Milan. That is an excellent (and improving!) record.

Where do you get your stats from?
