Summer Transfer Window Thread 2015

[Rich]

Gazz, you really need to stop farting on Celebrity's pillows

[9 to 5]

Wake me up when Jim White gets fucking sacked live on air for believing in his own hype and thinking he has ever, ever mattered.

[Baddar]

De Guzman to Bournemouth is OFF.

 

New developments now from Madrid as the plot surrounding David de Gea’s transfer to Real Madrid takes another twist. Sky Sports News HQ’s Gary Cotterill has the latest… “On the basis that La Liga didn’t receive any paperwork from Real Madrid regarding David de Gea, there is an avenue of appeal that both clubs could pursue direct to FIFA. It would seem all parties want the deal to go through but, as there was no paperwork, La Liga would be unlikely to back Real Madrid in that appeal and therefore any appeal would be certain to fail. It would seem at the moment that David de Gea remains a Manchester United player. Were Real Madrid unable to get the paperwork done in time or did they just not have the intention of doing it?”

West Ham are about to confirm the £3m signing of Hull striker Nikica Jelavic.

[METALMAN]

Oh De Gea. Office admin has never been more exciting!

[Gazz]

There is someone in Real Madrid's HR department frantically searching for a work experience kid to blame.

[Thrilla]

I'm amazed Jelavic keeps on getting chances in the Premier League

[Gazz]

I think he's still living off that spell he had at Everton where he scored about 10 goals in 13 games.

[METALMAN]

When I was in Croatia last week people kept asking where I was from and I would say "Kilmarnock, near Glasgow".

To which they'd reply with something like "Ah, Glasgow Rangers! Jelavic! Jelavic!".

And then I'd tell them to fuck off. I ain't no dirty Rangers fan.

^ When I was in Egypt in 2001 and said I was from England, they were all "Ah, Manchester United!".

When I went back in 2012 they mentioned Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United. I feel this is progress.

[Matt]

Why do people think that throwing money at DeGea is going to work now? They've just delayed his dream move by not sending the paperwork through quickly enough, if anything he's going to be in more of a sulk than before

Dream move 

You mean while he was playing for Athletico Madrid? Yeah there's no way he was just saying that to appease the fans

[Thrilla]

Bournemouth and West Ham are both going for it today.  Bournemouth have Glenn Murray and some lad for River Plate just about sewn up with three others in the work, Hammers have Song and Moses on loan, Jelavic in permenantly, and a couple of others in the mix.

[Mad Jack]

"some lad from River Plate" has me optimistic that its Balanta. Probably isn't.

[Baddar]

It's Andrade. 

[stokeriño]

OFFICIAL: Chelsea have signed Papy Djollybadger for roughly £3 million.

[Dan]

Is that the guy that Jose had never heard of or something?

[DavidMarrio]

Is that the guy that Jose had never heard of or something?

Ain't that the case with most of the people Chelsea sign and then promptly farm out on loan? He'll probably never see him on the training ground. 

[FLiam]

What't the story with this Chelsea transfer?

Is he just going to be that player you hope to never have to rely on?

Jolly badger?

No. I don't believe that's real.
