Summer transfer thread!

[phips]

Aw! OD, you want me to spend my summer vacation with you? Look at us...vacationing together already.
You kindly tell me to leave and I show up less but then you miss me and want me back. Youre so cute when you play hard to get.

What's this lad from Roma actually like?

[PeterParker]

Didn"t read if someone posted this, but Leonardo is in Naples.

The two clubs reached a 63 or 65 mil agreement. He is negociating with Cavani at the moment. Saw it everywhere on twatter.

What's this lad from Roma actually like?

A very talented striker but with a very bad character in and out the ground! Sometimes he looks like lazy, one of the worse players for all Italian refs this lad kept a lot of yellow and red cards for stupid things! Osvaldo needs to become a man, but he's always able to do great gols too!

French league is gonna be goal mental this year

Nice one mate. So pretty much Balo but with less talent?

More like Di Canio.

Osvaldo is as mad as a box of frogs but he scores some peaches.

For some reason I'm actually getting quite excited about negredo and osvaldo

I'll be excited when they have signed and its plastered all over the OS.

Sounds like Roma might want to take Maicon on loan as part of any Osvaldo deal we make with them as long as we part part (or all) of his absurd 100k a week wages.

There's absolutely no chance in hell Maicon is on £100k per week.

Don't believe everything you read about City.

[carl_feedthegoat]

I don't really get the point of getting rid of Lescott and bringing in a six months younger Pepe as his replacement (if that's actually what's gonna happen).

Lescott is a proven Premier League defender with still a lot to offer (cue Carlthebrokenrecord), whereas Pepe is a proven nut case who might or might not be success in England.

Yawwwwwm.

Lescott is off , when is the penny going to fucking drop with you?

[maddog fenton]

I've just googled osvaldo because I honestly don't know much about him and it stats "is a striker who plays for Manchester city in the premier league"

Have I missed Sumatra here?

Not saying they're right:

Last year,

This month,

http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2013/07/roma-want-to-take-manchester-city-defender-on-loan-as-part-of-osvaldo-deal/

Seems fairly consistent.

I can't tell if you are being serious or not??

Wikipedia? Utter nonsense.

That's a good comparison.
There's NO WAY we should even consider spending tens of millions on him. If he is available on cheap after that stunt in Cup final then yeah, maybe, at max 12m. Anything over that would be borderline insanity.

[Slim]

I think I'd prefer Negrado, not sure Osvaldo is anything special, but it's a real kick in the teeth to talking about getting Cavani earlier this season and ending up on fucking Osvaldo.

plus he's got this cheezy look he's running which i can't abide...

It is. We were having Cavani, Falcao, Lewandowski conversations early in the summer. All three different but fine strikers. And this was before Tevez left. If The Engineer believes in Dzeko and Guidetti then I wouldn't have much problem with going with someone like Negredo who by all accounts seem humble and hard working guy. But bringing in another loose cannon whose play is best described hot and cold would be ridiculous. And I like AS Roma who are my favourite team in Italy but this guy was brought in as stop gap even there.
