The Summer Transfer Window Thread 2014/15

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

The Ander Herrera stuff has started up again out of the blue.

Quite a lot saying it's on the verge of happening.

[Baddar]

I hope so.

Has he learned how to play at CB too, since last summer? That'd help.

At this rate it'll be Carrick and Fellaini at CB with Smalling, Evans and Jones out injured all season.

Sky Sources understand Rio Ferdinand has agreed a deal to join Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer after leaving Manchester United earlier this summer.

Carlos Vela has sealed his permanent move to Real Sociedad from Arsenal and signed a four deal to keep him at the Basque club until 2018.

Sky Sports understands West Brom have rejected a second bid from Derby County for midfielder George Thorne.

Fulham have announced the signing of Australian international Adam Taggart from Newcastle Jets.

Northern Ireland international defender Craig Cathcart has joined Watford on a two-year contract. He joins as a free agent at the end of his contract at Blackpool.

Vela made more appearances for Mexico than Arsenal in his 9 years at the club.

Kyle Lafferty has confirmed his Palermo exit and says he is sad to be leaving the club, amid reports he is set to sign for Norwich City. It is understood that the 26-year-old underwent his medical at Carrow Road on Monday, ahead of a move to the Championship club.

[Lineker]

Hertha Berlin have confirmed the signing of John Heitinga from Fulham on a two-year deal. The Holland international has arrived on a free transfer.

[Rafael]

West Ham are poised to wrap up a 6m deal for Swansea's Michu. lol, right?

Southampton are after Valencia striker Jonas. They're also eyeing a move for Fiorentina's Ante Rebic.

Sunderland are hoping to get Chelsea's Kurt Zouma on a season-long loan.

West Ham have opened talks with Real Mallocar over a 3m deal for Marcos Asensio.

Liverpool have been told by Sevilla they have to pay 20m to sign Alberto Moreno.

[Lineker]

Dinamo Moscow have announced they have agreed a deal to sign Manchester United defender Alexander Buttner.

[Baddar]

You'd think that indicates the Shaw deal is close. Don't see why we'd sell our backup LB otherwise.

[Gazz]

I think that indicates Buttner was rubbish.

[Lineker]

Barcelona have signed Chile international goalkeeper Claudio Bravo from Real Sociedad.

Leroy Fer has confirmed he is not thinking about leaving Norwich City following the club’s relegation from the Premier League.

Mathieu Debuchy plans to address his Newcastle United future after the World Cup as he admits to missing UEFA Champions League football.

[Rafael]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Bafetimbi Gomis is signing a contract with Swansea, which is supposedly worth 16m.

City are set to sign Porto's Eliaquim Mangala.

Atlético Madrid are close to signing Michu.

[TCO]

Is Debuchy even good enough for a Champions League team? Certainly none of the English ones anyway. I like him but he's not brilliant by any means.

[brenchill]

Ander Herrera has passed a medical at OT ahead of his £28m move to OT.

[Rafael]

Is Debuchy even good enough for a Champions League team? Certainly none of the English ones anyway. I like him but he's not brilliant by any means.

After deep playmakers, right-back is the most scarce position in football right now and Debuchy is good so yeah.

[EddieG]

Leroy Fer has confirmed he is not thinking about leaving Norwich City following the club’s relegation from the Premier League.

Score in World Cup, stay at a Championship team.

Fair play.

[TCO]

It's really not, left back is always going to be more scarce given that it's the same position and left footed players are rarer.

I still don't rate Debuchy. When I saw him live last year against Fulham I watched the fullbacks carefully because I'm a left back myself and Santon looked leagues ahead of him. His positioning and overall defending are questionable, especially for somebody who's ahead of Sagna in the French team.

[Gazz]

Is Debuchy even good enough for a Champions League team? Certainly none of the English ones anyway. I like him but he's not brilliant by any means.

When he's actually getting some help (ie. not playing behind Ben Arfa), he's easily our best player, the best right back since Danny Simpson and an extremely beautiful man to boot.

[Lineker]

Jake Livermore has completed his move to Hull.

[Gazz]

Drinks are on Hamster.
