World Transfer Speculation

I heard Chelsea are about to put a bid in for Ashley Young, if Downing goes to Villa, Young would be tempted to go elsewhere as they are both LM's ?

Abedayor confirmed...

Robinho...
Tevez...
Abedayor...
Santa Cruz...
Garreth Barry...

Squads on the way... I'd be happy if I was a city fan.
Only going to get easier to sign players with such a massively improving squad and a bottomless well (pun intended) of coin.

Just a slight pity that they are nearly all strikers. Someone's has to be unhappy come the end of the season. Might not have been the best move for Santa Cruz. I'd have to laugh if Carlos started getting benched again.

Yeah I've heard that one too.

Seems strange since Chelsea just signed Zhirkov who is LM/LB. So that's Malouda, A.Cole, J.Cole and Zhirkov who can play on the left. I think Young would have more of a chance against Downing than those 4. I'd love him there nonetheless.

Boro were talking an October return on him, and he can put weight on his broken foot now

I find it funny how tevez has left united to get more game time where he most likely will get less game time with city considering the number of top strikers they have

really...?
tevez + robinho are a class above ade + cruz IMHO
i dont like tevez...but still pretty clear IMO

so any takers for their new formation?

                  Given
Zabaleta    Richards  ????      Bridge
          De Jong      Barry
                Elano
      Tevez            Robinho
              Ade/Cruz
i would like that formation tbh
but dunno if he will go with 3 strikers

perhaps
                        Given
Zabaleta    Richards  ????      Bridge
          De Jong      Barry
    Elano                      Petrov/SWP
          Tevez/Cruz/Ade        Robinho

Major lol at Bellamy. Shame he wont see the field
Who will he move to next?

Move done after he passed his medical and signed on the dotted line, 12million pound transfer fee

...so what's going to happen to stephen ireland?

Also Kompany, dunne, bellamy and Onuoha all regulars last season for them and quality players as well as Bojinov and Michael johnson becoming fit agian this season, there will be alot of dissapointed players not getting enough game time, espically if the spening continues who knows who else they could sign.

Liverpool should sign Ireland then. He'll be exxy, but worth it, and he'll get game time. 4-2-3-1:

              Reina
Agger Carragher Skrtel Johnson
        Alonso Mascherano
  Kuyt    Gerrard    Ireland
            Torres

Joe Cole can play on the left, central, or right, Ancelotti may want to play more of a central attacking role this season, Zhirkov is the perfect signing on the left, cover for Ashley Cole and Malouda, and will also challenge for a start.

He won't play three unless chasing the game. You would think Abedayor would have to challenge for either Tevez or Robinho's spot... except thats he's a different style of striker to the other two and potentially a better option to be paired with either of them.
I just feel sorry for Santa Cruz, he's quality imo.

Be very surprised if Ireland does not retain a starting or at least a key squad spot. He was easily one of their best last season and for mine contributed more than Robinho or Elano. They'd be fools to lose him imho.

Crouch to Tottenham
meh

Granero to Madrid- YES!!! Our youth player...a great CM (+ awesome beard)

Eto + Ibra swap
Eto + Hleb (loan) + 40-50 mill Euros... for Ibra

Are you serious
I know Eto'o was on last year of contract...but what a ripoff! Great business for Inter...
Could end up tearing Barca dressing room apart, as wel as hurting their style (eg. 11 hardworking players)


not to mention Barca are hypocrites...whinging about madrid's spending?
Give me a 35 mill Benzema over a 80 mill Ibra anyday

Remember this time last year Eto'o was being linked to some ridiculous money deal on loan at Tashkent? Apparently he's a bit of a prick to have in the dressing room, that said, he can be a prick all he wants and score for shits and giggles and that'll do me fine

Ibra > benzema.
hmmm
yes
but a waste of money
my point was 35 mill benzema > Ibra for 80 mill

I just think Barca screwed themselves over...they should have kept the cash for a big money move for Masch...
