The Transfers/Transfer Rumours Thread

Likewise, ive tuned in many a time to watch "the greatest league in world football" on a "super sunday" and jt has been * shocking the majority of the time.

Hull are gonna do sweet * all in England, wheras Inter have at least a chance - as you say - getting European football and getting high up in what is still one of the world's best leagues.

 

Scary to think that within the next ten years there will be teams spending £100+ million on players.

Disgusting.

 

In a nutshell.

I've heard tonight that the San Siro is a worse stadium than the KC Stadium - where * rugby is played - is better..........

 

Didn't Bale cost over £100m, once you take in all the add-ons?

 

Wouldn't surprise me.

 

In a way it might help out football as not many teams will be able to afford 2/3 £100million players.

Compared to now or even 5/10 years ago when * can accumulate a lot of world class players basically building dream teams. Wont be able to do that when you're Aguero's, Villa's, Robben's and Vidals are costing £80million apeice.

 

But teams will still spend it.

It isn't good for football at all.

 

The problem is that any really good players are touted for extortionate fees and this is the norm now - 'oh, he's amazing - £80m.'.

When Zidane cost £45m he was amazing and well worth it, is Falcao worth that?

That record stuck for 8 years and then Kaka was bought for £65m, fair enough (still a bit much) but then Madrid went and blew £80m and Bale at £85m. Now if they are amazing they have to go for around that price. Its madness.

The premier league and Madrid are to blame if im being honest.

 

Spain is fine, as is all of Western Europe really. Working conditions are pretty high. If you happen to play in western Europe your very lucky. Eastern Europe has problems with paying players on time, racism, poor facilities etc. The rest of the world is really bad on the whole.

Exactly.

Players have one or two good seasons and suddenly there price is up at £40 million or more. James Rodriguez will be the same. Had a good season at Monaco and has been cracking at the WC but now his price will probably be £70 million.

 

Chokry Yousfi, Slimani's agent: "There are many clubs interested in Slimani. And I'm not surprised after what he did at the World Cup.

According to De Telegraaf, Ajax's Siem de Jong (Luuk's brother) has undergone a medical at Newcastle. Transfer will be announced very soon

De Jong will sign 5-year-deal in Newcastle. Set to be completed tomorrow, medical already done.

 

* right it is. It's not a good place to live if you have no money, but if anyone thinks that the guys who play for clubs like Malaga would rather be living it large in places like Hull they must be * mental.

So you'd rather play for Hull, a lower-midtable English team, rather than Inter, a high-end Italian one who are one of the most famous clubs in the world, play in one of the greatest stadiums in the world (yes, they don't fill it out, but they still get 20,000 more than Hull do), have a number of great international players like Palacio, Hernanes, Guarin, Kovacic, Nagatomo, Vidic etc and who also have a much better chance of playing in European competition regularly (especially the CL).

I'd also definitely pick Milan over Hull as a place to live, seems a pretty easy choice.

Yeah, you're off your nut mate.
