The summer 14 other clubs transfers thread

[Huyton Layne]

Shane Long has joined Southampton for £12m...

Insanity. Played 15 and scored four increasing his price by about 5 million in the process.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Pulis in 'showdown talks' with Palace apparently.

This is in the realms of Downing for 20m and Darren Bent for 24m

on the basic of this, Rom is now worth 40m

DONE DEAL - Javi Garcia has signed for Zenit St Petursburg for £13m from Manchester City. #MCFC

apparently he's highest paid boss in the league now.

he won't leave if that's the case

Martin Kelly to Palace, thought he was the next big thing....

£12m for Long is madness, but they're obviously going for a like for like for Rodriguez now he's out for the foreseeable.

Jelavic will be Hull's main man now, got to deliver.

I think Hull will get another striker in sharpish.

Imagine their fans - think they are going to sign Lukaku and end up with Bendtner

Chelsea would be daft to sell schurrle. the lad is quality.

Didn't he cost them £17mil or something?

Had a decent wc too so it would have to be a good profit, and they made money on Mata and Lukaku as well.

Gone are the days when they paid big money for players like Crespo and Veron and let them run their contracts down on loan.

Utd looking to buy Marcos Rojo
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/aug/12/manchester-united-target-marcos-rojo-argentina

So it turns out Rojo's 75% owned by a management company. Their deal with Sporting means that they are owed 75% of any OFFER that comes in so they need to pay £12mil even if he doesn't move.

Sporting say they've terminated the deal so it sounds like it's going to get messy.

FIFA should just ban 3rd party ownership altogether

This has the look of the whole Herrara fiasco they did last season under Moyes - a complicated deal they only started to negotiate late on in the transfer window. Given that they let Rio & Vidic go over the summer and the injury history of their remaining CBs I've no idea why they were not lining up deals for defenders far earlier. vermaelen was an option but given Arsenal/United transfer history surely not a surprise that deal fell through.

Rojo's more of a full back anyway isn't he?

Not sure if this dispute is good for Utd or not.

On one hand if the deal with Doyen is upheld then Sporting have to sell really otherwise they'll have to pay just to keep him. And will they have to pay every time there's an offer?

On the other hand it all seems a bit messy and they must have other, less complicated options.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Thought the mancs would of spent big, especially on that defence. Not particularly impressed by their summer dealings so far, don't rate Rojo, one of those phony hardmen types.
