08/09 Summer Transfer Window Thread

[Flipmo]

Here's the rumor mill for Liverpool, coming from a so called worker from a transfer agency.

-------------

Rafa will have a maximum £30 million net budget, similar to last year

Done Deals

Degen (free)
Dossena (8–9 mil)

Bids
Huntarlaar (15–20 mil)
Barry (14 mil)

Rafa also wants Arshavin, Deco and/or Silva, Rafa wants at least one of these, but depending on sales and depending on boardroom situation may get two, has £29 million to spend worse case senario at the moment.

Outs–

Kewell (free)
Carson (Rafa wants 8 mil)
Crouch (Rafa wants 12 mil)
Alonso (as reported Rafa wants £16 million, if not recieved Barry deal off)
Voronin (Rafa wants 3–4 million, but will sell for £2 million if he does not get an offer)
Riise (3–4 mil)
Pennant (Rafa wants £6 million, but will settle for £5 million, but nothing less)
Finnan (Fulham offer £2 million, Rafa will accept)

Hypothetically, Rafa makes 45 million on sales and spends 42 million on Huntarlaar, Barry, Dossena and Degen. Rafa buys Silva for £18 million and Arshavin for £15 million, that is £30 million net spend.

^^That wouldnt be too bad if it worked out like that.Aimar should be an option. Maybe Diego Milito as well

Alonso has stated that he is going nowhere.

 

[hizzle?]

I don't want Alonso to gooooo *cries*

 

[Bobby Sands]

i dont either. he is the most creative midfielder we have.

 

[Duke]

Maybe Alonso is desperate to leave or something?

Imo he's worth more than 16. Even though Ive only just realized these prices are in pounds.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^He has stated that he has no intention of leaving Liverpool unless the club asks him too.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Kieta Sevilla > Barcelona.

Good signing, him and Yaya Toure in the middle is solid.

 

[Duke]

How long before it's official that "Frenkie" will coach Chelsea?

 

[2Pax]

More rumours of Yaya Toure going to Arsenal.

 

[Bobby Sands]

According to goal.com Rafa is preparing to make an ambitious 20 million swoop for Frank Ribery. I would love if he came to Anfield. Cant see him leaving Bayern now though although Liverpool have more chance of winning the Champions League than they do.

Antonio Cassano has taken a big pay cut to join Sampdoria on a permanent basis.There aren't many pro footballers willing to take pay cuts. Sampdoria were linked with Adriano during the week as well.

Barcelona are on the verge of signing Hleb.

Palermo's Andrea Barzagli has made a shock move by joining bundeliga club Wolfsburg.

Alberto Gilardino has joined Fiorentina. He teams up with former strike partner at Parma Adrian Mutu and manager Cesare Prandelli.

Patrick Berger moves to Sparta Prague from Aston Villa

Aton Villa are after Steve Sidwell and Sampdoria's Argentine defender Hugo Campagnaro. Juventus are also after Campagnaro

Fenerbahce have signd Emre.

Spurs and Porsmouth are battling it out for Man City defender Richard Dunne

According to goal.com Rafa is preparing to make an ambitious 20 million swoop for Frank Ribery. I would love if he came to Anfield. Cant see him leaving Bayern now though although Liverpool have more chance of winning the Champions League than they do.

He couldnt even leave Munich for 50 million.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^are you getting worried lol

i wouldnt read too much into it. This is goal.com after all.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Don't think Barry will leave Villa even with Gerrard practically begging him to sign for Liverpool.

There's also interest from Roy Keane for "Super Sub Shaun Maloney". (£4m)

 

[THEV1LL4N]

oh and, Stoke want to sign Marlon Harewood, but MH's agent says he's not willing to leave.

Pinto lands Barca deal (Done Deal)

Barcelona have made back-up goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto's move to the Camp Nou permanent.

The shot-stopper joined the club in January as cover for the injured regular back-up keeper Albert Jorquera.

The 32-year-old made his debut in April against Deportivo La Coruna and has since played on two more occasions.

Barcelona have paid second division side Celta Vigo 500,000 euros (£392,000) to make his switch permanent.

Pinto signed a one-year contract on Friday, with an option for a second.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Christian Maggio was linked with Villa as well? They can stay the fuck away from him. He was outstanding this season.
