Summer transfer thread!

[london blue 2]

Bale has finally gone.

[kinkylola]

i can't believe we weren't in for sahko, as it looks like his is bound for liverpool. He's going to be a huge talent.

If we are in for el shaawaawaa that will be fantastic.

[DoomMerchant]

Yes I watch a bit - he's experienced (obv) but slower than Garcia - not sure he's the right signing personally

What we need is an entire team slower than Garcia.

For once we agree.

This is apparently doing the rounds on twitter, taken today outside the etihad:

Looks a bit small, nice he brought an adult with him too

Bale has finally gone.

We've seen players like Navas. and Ferdi giving goodbye interviews and fan sessions to say thanks to the fans before they leave, is it because players like Bale etc are so up themselves or is it an English thing that never sees that here? He's spent most of the time on an extended jolly and all he does on behalf of the fans of the club that turned him from a mediocre left back, is release a statement!

Manchester City are in negotiations with AC Milan over the transfer of Stephan El Sharwaay [Sky Italy]

I wish this was true, but with Milan's group in the CL, their ambition to challenge for the league title and the fact they haven't signed anyone to replace Boetang (spelling wrong I think - apologies, I'm on my phone and can't be bothered checking it), letting another attacking player won't be happening.

They might get Kaka. Not sure if reliable though:

Real Madrid gives Kakà to Milan for free, 2 years deal, 5m € yearly wages

El sharawy can happen, but I'm honestly worried that we are a bit too heavy up front and not at the back. We should have sold Nasri and Garcia this summer, imo. Neither look like improving, especially Nasri, who I though would do well under the Count.

[ant london]

Total bunkum

Nasri actually looks alright this season so far.

Martin Demichelis has just signed for us!

this would be a good left-sided addition. if they sell him and bring in Kaka and Honda to replace the Pharaoh and KPB then maybe it could happen. if we snag him then Milner and Nasri will fall even further down the pecking order and thats a shame, in Milner's case, since hes a great player for us.

[Michael Brookes]

Isn't he a striker? Or is he actually a LF in the way that mario never was and jojo supposedly is!!

[phips]

thats a good question. ive only seen him on the left for Milan and Italy, but in both situations someone else (Balotelli) is leading the line. so maybe he gets pushed to the left....but even so, thats where he normally plays. i dont believe he's like a left-sided Navas though.

[Dameerto]

sounds like bollox to me, we're stacked already.

[Jorgobot]

Its photoshopped, he was actually outside Greggs

Who is this?

[dazlebluefrog]

"breaking news"on Mailonline says Palermo keeper Viviano having Arsenal medical ,didn't think they needed a keeper

Do this defender we bought. Is he quick? Can he actually defend? With Kompany injured nasty looks like savic.

for giggles I checked his stats out on FM and FIFA..... he is in fact less mobile than a bag of cement.
