Rumour Mill

gtfo of the club

"Malouda was offered to us," he told reporters. "He is a very interesting player, but you get scared when they tell your their demainds.

"They say they are in crisis in Europe, but they spend so much money on transfers there. He was offered to us, but when you think about his wages, it gets hard.

"He is a very good player, an old-school midfielder who can hold the ball and set the tone in attack."

Rumours seem to be heating up that the deal for Maicon has fallen apart and he's on verge of signing for RM.

Nooo, I wanted Maicon

Rumours around that we are once again after Willian. ~20m euros I heard.

Willian rumors are back

Jinx

20m is huge for a player that is 23 and plays in a relatively poor league. Is he even any good?

So Oscar rumors have died down or what ?Not signing him?Havent yet reached an agreement or something ?

The rumours were saying that we'd progressed far further than we actually had. I think we are currently in negotiations with Inter. Doubt there will be much real info till after the Olympics.

Last rumours I heard were that talks would be postponed till after the Olympics.

Willian is their best player. Would do well as a back up for us IMO.

Then they would probably try to milk a bigger fee from you guys when and once the Olympics are done provided he performs very well in the tournament.

Ideally we'd tie up the transfer fee with Inter before they are over and just do personal terms after the Olympics with Oscar but I guess we'll just see.

£20m+ for a backup? Our name isn't Manchester City, you know...

So that's £16M if you convert euros. Still too expensive for a backup.

You would rather get Hulk as a starter for double the money?

If you are in need of a backup attacker ,you can have Krasic for 8m euros absolutely

No thanks

Not to mention, that's the figure they allegedly turned down in January, so the price is likely to be even more than that. Their delusional owner seems to think he's got Messi on his hands or something.

Any day of the week

Tell that to Roman lol.

Will do at our next board meeting

Haha.

Any of you guys ever played FM? I'm trying to get into it but finding it very long/hard to get stuff happening

Seems the only way my team scores is via Lampard longshots haha.
