GarethRDR Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Transfermarkt.de is superb if you know a little bit of German (even then it's fairly self-explanatory anyway). I pretty much regurgitate anything remotely interesting from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 24, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2011 Sunderland have confirmed the signings of Keiren Westwood and Seb Larsson. Have we missed a trick or dodged a bullet? Both. Dodged a bullet with Larsson. Missed a trick with Westwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danwichmann Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Where do you stay up to date with the Spanish deals Mr.RDR? I find The Sporting Life pretty good for keeping up with Ligue 1, I guess it's also good for La Liga and Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 24, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 24, 2011 /\ and they've nothing on the Malaga deals. Me thinx (as is par for the course) Sky report what they think is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yet more FC Málaga dealings; Joaquín from Valencia and Sergio Sánchez from Sevilla for a grand total of €8m. Total spending so far for them is now €34m. JOaquin is a strange signing as he has talent but seems lazy but a move back to his home province might help him. PLus Valencia still have Champions League Sanchez i thought had a heart condition so a different but bigger risk for Malaga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Alou Diarra supposedly moving from Bordeaux to Marsille for €4m, which sounds a bargain to me. Wouldn't mind seeing Villa try to hi-jack that one actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 1345: Newcastle have not received any bids for Joey Barton, Fabricio Coloccini and Jonas Gutierrez, who have all been linked with moves away from St James' Park this summer. (Press Association) Reading between the lines, I guess they have received bid(s) for Jose Enrique then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Alou Diarra supposedly moving from Bordeaux to Marsille for €4m, which sounds a bargain to me. Wouldn't mind seeing Villa try to hi-jack that one actually. He is about 30 though so thats probably why he's so cheap. I know it didnt work out for him at Liverpool a few years back but he looks perfect for the premier league to me, big bugger aint he...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Few scouts on twitter are surprised about this, they don't think he's good enough for Arsenal. If that's the case he must have a good agent with the likes of Palermo and Roma interested too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 My new favourite player Sergio Aguero is on the move this summer apparently. If Chelsea had any sense they'd go all out for him instead of Falcao. Probably cost them another £50m though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwood Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Mentioned this on the Transfer Thread on the Villa section... Arsenal board ready to sell Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona Arsenal are prepared to sell Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona if the two clubs can agree a price for the Spanish midfielder, BBC Sport has learned. The Premier League club have rejected an initial bid for their captain but are now bracing themselves for an improved offer. A senior Arsenal official said: "The offer was made formally in writing to our chief executive (Ivan Gazidis), and we said no straight away." When asked if the club expected an improved offer this week, the source said: "Possibly yes, and if it's enough then I expect we'll have to sell." Arsenal's stance appears to have shifted since last season when they rejected two offers from Barcelona for Fabregas, a former trainee at the Nou Camp, and stated they had no intention of selling him at any price. Since then, American billionaire Stan Kroenke has taken control of the London club and now faces the first major decision of his reign. Barcelona's president Sandro Rosell said last week that Fabregas was trying to pave the way for a return to the club he left as a 16-year-old, but that the heavily indebted Spanish giants would not pay more than £35m for him. Barcelona's latest bid is reported to be around £27m, well short of Arsenal's valuation of more than £40m. DID YOU KNOW?Continue reading the main story Cesc Fabregas is a life-long Barca fan who watched his first game as a nine-month old baby Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger may still object to any sale, and Kroenke will rely on his manager's guidance when making a decision. But Arsenal's board, consisting of Kroenke, Gazidis, chairman Peter Hill-Wood and directors Ken Friar, Sir Chips Keswick and Lord Harris of Peckham are aware of the difficulties of keeping the 24-year-old against his will. His recent injury problems, combined with the emergence of Jack Wilshere, and the likely arrival of Argentinian Ricardo Alvarez, may also have influenced their thinking. Fabregas is in Barcelona this week on a holiday, and his former club would like to complete a deal before he has to return to pre-season training in London next Tuesday ahead of a tour to the Far East. Sources in Spain say that Barcelona have already begun talks with one of Europe's leading sports agencies over maximising the commercial opportunities of Fabregas' potential homecoming, suggesting a degree of confidence the deal can be finalised. Meanwhile, former director Lady Bracewell-Smith, who made millions of pounds selling her 15.9% stake in the club to Kroenke this year, enabling him to take control of Arsenal, has rejected calls from some fans for the return of former vice-chairman David Dein, who was sacked in 2007. On her Twitter account, Lady Bracewell-Smith said: "No Dein. Root cause of all the troubles at AFC. Unable to work with other board members." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13928823.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
