The generic transfer thread

[stealthpapes]

They benched him because he was playing like a vvanker

Hhhhmmmm...

Do you think that difference is at all significant?

[Brosef Stalin]

Or the quality of the opposition, or the make up of the rest of team etc

[Brosef Stalin]

Rafael Da Silva - Man Utd to Lyon - £2.5M

if he stays fit they've got a bargain there (although can be a bit rash sometimes)

[Winston Smith]

Connor Wickham to Palace - £8M

[Lacoste]

Max Gradel to Bournemouth. Another very good signing.

Skillful yes, but a truly horrible attitude.

if my club were potentially facing a season where they would be right up against it and would need to keep the spirits up while results went against them, Max Gradel is one of the last people I would want around.

Roma agree a £14m fee for Dzeko. That's a bargain.

And leaves City fairly short up front when Aguero gets his inevitable injury in October.....

[YateleyRoyal]

Brentford selling 3 key members of last year's squad on the same day. My FIL did not appreciate me lolling in his face.

[Stranded]

You should have mentioned that clearly the stats on those players means they must have received more money than they are "worth" so it is actually a good day for the club.

They've got to be bringing someone in, surely? Aguero and Bony is a very shallow forward line.

[LUX]

Sterling is a forward, surely? Scores a reasonable amount of goals, anyway.

[Kitsondinho]

But he is more of a Number 10, rather than a 15-20 goals a season player......plus he will be in the reserves by Christmas!!

... consults wikipedia ...

Yeah, probably.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Shaqiri to Stoke for £12m

[Stranded]

Obviously nobody else wanted him the way he's been desperately waiting for someone, anyone else to make a bid.

[sandman]

Stoke are making a bit of a habit of signing these players who were hyped up as youngsters before losing their way. Wonder if James Lambert still has a chance.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Bristol City bid £6m for Dwight Gayle according to Sky Sports.

[genome]

They have that kind of money?

[Coppelled_Streets]

How come Championship clubs are suddenly throwing silly money around? Suddenly £4m on x sounds cheap. It's ridiculous. The game just gets more stupid by the season. Soon the gap between L1 and the Championship will be huge. Smaller clubs just wont stand a chance.
