Summer Soccer Transfer Window Discussion....

    Great link below.

    Even with losing Pep Barcelona could reach their highest height next year if they make a few good moves.

    If they sell Villa and Pedro as they should IMO as well as Keita they will have enough money, along with extra they want to spend to bring in Neymar and Drogba. Didier wouldn't produce a ton of goals but he's the central point man they need to beat certain teams when having solely 5'7 guys doesn't work.

    I agree with selling Villa, but I'm not so sure on Pedro. The guy has proved that he can finish, he was just injured this year. It's an option for them because of their depth in the reserves and Barca B at the position, but Pedro is a very good player.

    Not sure, only that he said that he is most likely coming to the MLS.

  • Some rumors on Twitter about Hazard to United. I don't believe it for a second, 90% sure he'll sign for City, but would love Hazard at United.

    I'm not sure any of the big American spenders need a defender, but it wouldn't surprised me if Vancouver or Montreal picked him up. They already have Ferrari and Montreal could use more help and name recognition.

  • I was hoping Barca could get Neymar this summer for 55. But if Hazard goes for 45 then the price likely goes up.

    I hope Neymar stays in Brazil so I can keep calling him a bitch for not leaving. I'd love to see him go to Italy. Serie A needs a boost BADLY.

    I know right. The Serie A seems so lame. Lucas Moura is about to go to Inter this summer. Phenom. Brazil needs Moura and Neymar to go to Inter and Barca and just stay relatively healthy. If they do they will be super stars in summer 2014. If Pato can get back on track by then they will be insatiable going towards goal.

  • I might be late, but I know Tottenham are going to do what they can to keep Emmanuel Adebayor. He really ignited the attack for Tottenham once they got him on loan. They'll also probably have to give Gareth Bale a fat raise too though...

    Yeah somehow they say they have no money. Both Bale and Ade are wanting 175K a week and Tottenham can pay them maybe 120. 55K a week is a large issue.

    Hazard posted on Twitter can't wait to go to Manchester but never posted which team, that sly devil.

    Think he goes to City just because of the $$$...Hoping that Man U can pick up Shinji Kagawa.

    He's not. He's not Urban.

    He is a sheer coaching savant.

    This.

    Anyone who argues that Sir Alex is the best coach in soccer right now is just plain stupid. I know Sir Alex has the trophies to his name, but he is garbage with tactics. There is no way he can coach complex possession style soccer.

    He's great,but not greatest. He has almost reached a persona and fear for United where teams wither away at the end of the season. Well except for City.

    He dominated at previously pathetic Aberdeen and then went to United and made them an institution.

    You are really underestimating how good SAF is. He will go down as one of the greatest coaches in any sport, his success is unbelievable.

    It never ends man. Some fans think Bobby Bowden was all smoke, mirrors, Charlie Ward, and Chris Weinke. Can't convince them all.

  • fsufsu said...

    Maybe to a Liverpool fan. But they won't get a top coach and won't sign anyone of acclaim.

    Don't need to. SAF's signings were not always flashy, for example. The two which spring to mind were Solksjaer (a boyhood Liverpool fan) from, IIRC, Molde for £2.5m and Peter Schmiechel from Odense for three training tops and a thing of Altoids.

    “Close tax loopholes that allow some of the truly wealthy to avoid paying their fair share,” Reagan vowed.

  • Not really a post about a transfer, but hopefully it will give you a chuckle.
