The Transfers/Transfer Rumours Thread

Seems Arsenal just happy to get rid of him .

Alex Song is gone, good. The man has been a poison around the training ground lately. Stevie Bould nearly took his head off in Cologne at pre season camp.

Still sold far too cheaply with 3years left to run on his deal.

 

Nuri Sahin should sign for Arsenal on loan by Monday


Arsene's reaction on being asked if Sahin's one of the players Arsenal close to signing.

 

Well Diaby is back now so that may be Wenger's big idea for the sitting midfielder position.

 

*, looks like Wenger's nose has grown even longer over the summer.

 

Tottenham ask price for Adam Johnson as Villas-Boas prepares to invest income from Luka Modric sale.

also been working on deals for Roberto Soldado & Fernando Llorente, though both look too expensive to complete.

 

If Javi Martinez isn't joining Bayern, Spurs should steal in. Speaking of which, loved Beckenbauer's quote about him this week:

 

Can't see spurs spending all that amount on one player they don't need a holding midfielder anyway if they want to replace modric.

 

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Daniele De Rossi has agreed a move to Manchester City; a contract worth more than €9m a year.

 

If you think that's mental try looking at porto's valuation of players
Moutinho worth more than modric
Hulk £38m
Verela was quoted at € 22m

 

Falcao went for a lot too

 

Everton have today completed the signing of Belgian international Kevin Mirallas from Olympiakos.

The 24-year old arrives at Goodison Park after agreeing a four-year deal and passing a medical on Saturday evening. He will wear the number 11.

Discussions between the two clubs had been ongoing during the course of the last week and after an undisclosed fee was agreed late on Friday evening, Mirallas headed to Merseyside to complete the formalities.

Speaking exclusively to evertontv ahead of training with his new teammates for the first time at Finch Farm, he said: “I am very happy because Everton is a big club and for me it's a very good opportunity.

“I've known Everton have been following me for a while and after talking with the manager I decided coming to Everton was the best opportunity for me.

“I know this is a great club with great supporters and a club that has the ability win a lot of games in the Premier League. That's why I came.”

Everton have won the signature of Mirallas ahead of a number of top European clubs who had reportedly been keeping close tabs on the forward player’s progress after he scored 20 goals in 25 appearances for Olympiakos in 2011/12.

Due to his signing taking place after Friday’s 12pm deadline, he will not be eligible to play in Monday’s Barclays Premier League opener with Manchester United but will be at Goodison Park and unveiled in front of what is hoped to be a capacity crowd.

Prior to his arrival in Greece, Mirallas had spells with St Etienne and Lille in France, having earlier started his career at his hometown club Standard Liege.

Mirallas, who can play behind the striker or on either wing, featured for his national team in last Wednesday's 4-2 win over Holland, a game watched by Blues boss David Moyes.
