***Transfer Rumours Thread*** [ALL RUMOUR TOPICS MERGED]

Hmm, hope not. Do we really need another centre midfielder?

You hope we DON'T sign Mikel Arteta?

Madness. Clearly. Id have him in an instant. It would allow us to sell ireland I'd guess. Altho that's everton fucled if they do sell him. He is everything to that team i think. Same effect selling xabi alonso had on scouse1 last season IMHO. They will fail to replace someone like him.

Would golem be at defcon 5?

Cheers

Things are hotting up- I think this is gonna be THE exciting transfer story - us v the rags for a player with all the potential to be the best striker in world football.

"kolarov's a decent choice by #mcfc, £16m is "okay" considering the shortage of quality left-backs on the market + suits english football"

Thats from Footie Journalist Tor-Kristien Karlsen on Twitter - he's not a bullshitter by the way

[Original Dub]

We'll have some serious news tomorrow I reckon. I can just feel it in my waters.

I'd be gutted to see Stevie go, but having said that, I'd be happy for a swop for Arrr Mikel + cash. I suppose the question is how much cash?

I'd fucking love us to sign Arteta.

Cracking player, real class and shits all over Milner.

Happy to let Ireland go as part of deal. Stevie + £10Mil ish.

So what? I'm not bothered which side he bats for so long as we win something. The prejudices of some of you lot sicken me

Bit worried about kolarov - from the video below, he has a great long range shot and gets booked every time he tries to tackle someone - it's a foreign Danny Mills

The bold function doesn't seem to have worked properly - there was a comment about Mancini liking big men

and can someone sort out the feckin submit error

[Original Dub]

Coming up on SSN shortly - City in Italy to tie up two deals... I think its Kolorov and Balotelli.

I'd love to beat those cunts to Balo. LOVE IT. Keegan style.

Think he meant big as in tall - think you are in a minority to read it differently

[Curlie]

On Sky currently, so it may not be true.
