Other Clubs Summer Transfer Speculation

Status
Not open for further replies.
Jose Fonte, Saints best defender,who made the others look good has done an interview about being flattered by links with Sporting Lisbon and how he would only consider leaving them for a top 4 premier league club or one playing in the champions league.

If I was a Saints fan,I would actually start to poop my pants,he is easily their best defender.
 
Done Deals

Konoplyanka (Sevilla) from (Dnipro) now official.
Cabaye (Palace) from (PSG)
Yannick Carrasco (Atl. Madrid) from (Monaco)
N'Zonzi (Sevilla) from (Stoke)

Rumours

Van Ginkel (Stoke) from (Chelsea) season long loan, with Begovic going the other way plus cash.
Guido Vadala (Juventus) could be announced soon. He was part of the Tevez transfer/trade. Young prospect.
Ramires and Obi Mikel (Fenerbache) from (Chelsea)
Llorente (Porto) from (Juventus)

SAKE

Really like that Carrasco.

Hoped he might be a new Mirallas for us.

Ah well.
 
Lots of talk in the transfer thread about Ospina and whether he is a good/bad keeper and his strengths/weaknesses.

What is your opinion of him having watched him play this season?

Very good shot stopper,one of those new type keepers that comes flying out. His decision making is good,reflexes are good but his lack of height will stop him from being absolute top tier but he's an upgrade on Howard,easily. He's too good to be a no 2 for anyone but Chelsea/Barca/Bayern.

Aston Villa captain Fabian Delph will complete his £8million move to Manchester City in the next 24 hours.

City are understood to have activated the release clause in the England midfielder’s contract and personal terms have been agreed.

Delph, 25, did not travel with the Villa squad to their pre-season training camp in Portugal and will become Manuel Pellegrini’s first signing of the summer.
 

How would you rate him compared to the other 1st choice other keepers in the prem?

Courtois,Cech and De Gea better by some distance?

Queue a host of pundits slaughtering Delph, and branding him unprofessional in 3, 2, 1..............1.........1/2.........err?!.......

Still nothing.....

Nope....


Maybe carragher has tweeted.....


Nope....



Very strange this....
 
For this summer,oddly his release clause is only £22m but then I think it goes up,like Fellaini's did 2 yrs ago. Be good for Sevilla if he did stay,but for that price I'll be stunned if no one nips in before the 31st August.
That would be a historical figure. The biggest fee paid for polish player is 7,5M euro which RS paid Feyenoord for Dudek.

Not like a certain other player looking to move to City is it ;)

Tbf have seen a couple of people quote his statement when he signed a new contract in Jan last year "I am a loyal person and committing my future will hopefully show everybody what type of guy I am."

But since he could have left on a free this summer and signing that contract, even one with a lowish buyout clause, has meant that Villa get 8m for him that counts as loyalty in today's football world, especially as he probably misses out on a nice signing bonus.
