January Transfer Rumours

sportsczy wrote:Mole... you guys are trying to get Remy to replace Ba.

I know and i know he's been off form and injured but when i look at a Remy-Cisse-Ben Arfa front 3 it has a lot more pace and balance about than anything with Ba and not to mention it's likely to function a lot better

As i said before as long as Ba is replaced properly i'm not fussed by him leaving due to Cisse already being here.

We don't need a goalscorer like Ba we need someone with pace and dribbling ability that will make our entire front line function better.

On a slightly related note.....

Scott Wilson @Scottwilsonecho
Debuchy deal will mean the end of Simpson's time at #NUFC with Fulham leading the chase. On Saturday's evidence, maybe that's just as well. It'll be one in, one out up front if Ba leaves, and I also expect #NUFC to sign a centre-half next month. Then that might be that.

Get a CB in along with Debuchy and replace Ba properly and i'm very happy.

AC Milan are the favourites to sign Didier Drogba ahead of Juventus now but do face competition from city rivals Inter, according to Calciomercato.

AC Milan officials have spoken to FIFA’s Italian agent recently and are believed to be prepared to offer a salary of €5-6m per season until 2014.

Although the Rossoneri are keen to keep an eye on their spending, money raised from the sales of Robinho and Alexandre Pato would be enough to cover his wages given that he could leave Shanghai Shenhua for free.

He and his agent will meet with Italian agents in France next month and will try to attempt to terminate his current contract with the Chinese champions.

However, in the past few days it has been revealed that Inter are now looking at Drogba as well as Lazio striker Tomasso Rocchi but that they will only move for the former Chelsea striker after the sale of Wesley Sneijder.

Remy actually played right winger his whole career other than the last 2.5 years. He's very good there. Only reason he's off form is that he was injured for a while and they haven't played him enough since. He's young... he'll be back.

If Cisse fails, he can obviously play CF too.

Remy cannot play left though.... impossible. Ben arfa would need to move there.

Yeah that's my line of thinking as for Ben Arfa on the left it's fine as long there's a decent amount of creative freedom and recent weeks our football and system has improved a lot.

My problem with Ben Arfa on the left before was that on the right side it was Simpson and Cisse if we get Debuchy and Remy it's then Debuchy and Remy on one side and Santon and Ben Arfa on the other.

So that's a lot better.

Would this work?

-Remy-HBA-Marveaux-
--------Cisse------

I think Ben Arfa's better on the wing. Would be kinda wasted at AM.

It would but i personally prefer Marveaux centrally and HBA out wide.

RG

Harper

Anita would be next to Cabaye btw, where you get the Zouma idea from btw lol?

Bought him on fifa innit

Remy was Walcott-level fast before the recent injury. Haven't seen him open it up yet. If he gets that speed back, £10 is a steal for him. He's fantastic in the air as well... scores most of his goals with his head actually lol.

Don't let Pardew know that we will play 4-4-2 hoof again then

I hope he can get rid of his injury problems in england

It's not done yet brah

In addition to Juventus, Fiorentina and AS Roma, also Galatasaray, as reported by transfermarkt.de, are keen on Stuttgart 25 year old defender Serdar Tasci.

Algerian international Foued Kadir expected at Marseille on Wednesday, to sign on for 2 1/2 years.

Has this rumour been posted?




Shakhtar Donetsk star Fernandinho says he is going to sign for either Manchester United or Manchester City next month - but he is keeping schtum as to who that will be.

The exciting attacker has been central to Shakhtar's impressive Champions League campaign so far this season.

He scored in the 2-1 win over Chelsea last month and has been tracked by numerous clubs with a view to a move.

Intriguingly, the 27-year-old Brazil international says he is leaving Shakhtar and moving to Manchester in January, but he has not said which club he will be joining.

"I am closing a deal with an English club. I will play in Manchester in January," he told Calciomercato.

Maybe he's going to Wigan? It's in Greater Manchester.

Or FC United of Manchester.

He is going to City.Mancini wants someone to replace Yaya during AFCON.

City also have been scouting Paulinho.

"Newcastle have accepted Ba's deperature and are confident his replacement will be at St James' Park to watch the team play Everton on Wednesday."

From the Fail if this is true we seem to be moving a lot more quickly than usual....

According to La Nazione, 22 year old Uruguayan attacking midfielder Gaston Ramirez could leave Southampton at the end of the seasono to join Fiorentina.

Any updates on Lampard's contract situation?

Wonder when we will sign Ba seems pretty early in the window for once, which is good.

You and me both mate, i'm not used to this lol.... used to all the last minute crap.

Debuchy deal agreed before window even opened, Ba probably will leave before it opens as well and we seem to be acting quickly on getting his replacement and a CB.

I'm not used to this efficient movement go back to last minute deadline day signings

Am sure theres gonna be some usual trolls on deadline day, Azpil > Debooosheeee though .

I really do think Ba will get injured with us, although saying that Torres had some injuries at Liverpool but hasnt had any with us mind you I would trade some time on the medical bed, for his old ability back.
