Matic

I doubt the second rumour is true unless DL4 is switching to CM.

[Red Alert]

Cabaye is bad? I'd take him anyday at Liverpool. Technically gifted guy and one that suits our system very much.

He plays in Gerrard's position... he'd be benched week in week out.

De Bruyne:

“The conversation was very positive”, De Bruyne’s agent, Patrick De Koster, explained to Belgian daily Het Nieuwsblad. “Chelsea is very pleased with the progress of De Bruyne and find that he is ready to become a first team player.”

But with Chelsea still without a permanent manager, the return De Bruyne back to the Premier League is still uncertain. “The only problem is that we still do not know who will be the coach of Chelsea next season. Therefore, we still do not know where Kevin will play next year”, De Koster admitted.

Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen are interested in De Bruyne.

Calcio Mercato:

Juventus interested in Jovetic. They would offer Giovinco and Marrone as part of the deal. Giovinco is worth 22m Euros, while Marrone is worth 4m.

Jovetic would cost 30m.

That's news to me. Also if Marrone is available for 4 million I'll have him at Milan in a heart beat.

This is going to be a persistent rumour as the summer approaches I am sure, and I could honestly see such a deal going forth - though I question the individual figures quoted - however with Rossi arriving at Fiorentina, along with Ljajic's presence in the squad, I would argue that they have more pressing concerns than acquiring a player such as Giovinco.

22M Euros


15 Max, and only because prices are often double what people are worth these days. Plus he has age on his side.

All I know is now that we're soon making profits for the first time in a while and we're competing in the latter stages of the CL it's time we spent 30M on one player, not 7 from lower serie A teams.

If we sell Marrone outright then that's an idiotic move. For 4m that's less than we bought Padoin for ffs

Loan him out, he'll never get first team play as a CB or a CDM in this Juventus set-up. Not until he proves himself and having 15 minutes against the Chievo's and Pescara's of this world isn't going to help you do that no matter what.

[dostoevsky]

As you said, the market is significantly inflated, though even then I would be reluctant to spend 30 million on Jovetic unless all other options had been exhausted. Even though it's obviously frustrating to see certain targets such as Bendtner and Anelka being brought in and barely seeing the pitch, I still feel that Juventus can continue to advance through fairly modest spending. I personally would be very interested to see how Manolo Gabbiadini would do if Juventus bought out the rest of his contract and allowed him to function up top next to Llorente, though I doubt we will see this eventuate. If Juventus are going to splash the cash though, you might as well target Suarez.

Edit: Before I'm jumped on, I'm not suggesting that Suarez would necessarily come, merely that it would be an avenue worth looking into before making a move for Jovetic.

Todoxdeportes are breaking an exclusive that Mourinho's recent trip to London was actually to sign Bale from Spurs and had nothing to do with Chelsea. If Todoxdeportes are to be believed (and they don't really have a reputation for BS news tbf) then Bale will be a Madrid player next season on a five year deal

http://www.todoxdeportes.org/exclusiv_bale/

Will be interesting to see if this happens. If it is true then Zidane probably knew about this when he was praising Bale

[Kaladin]

"Corriere dello Sport says ex-Inter GK Julio Cesar could return to Italy and the city of Milano, but joining Milan"

Well someone needs to keep Dede company besides Gabriel

[Kaladin]

According to QSVS, the Rossoneri have decided that they want the Vasco Da Gama centre-back to strengthen their defence.

The 24-year-old, who is contracted to Vasco until 2015, is valued at €15m by the South American outfit.

Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani is apparently ready to offer Vasco €12m for the Brazilian international.

QSVS claim that the Diavolo have already agreed personal terms with a player who would net €2.5m a season at San Siro

Marca:

Atletico want to keep Courtois on loan for another season.

[elitedam]

Courtois to become the first player to be loaned out for his entire career.

I mean Cech is still pretty damn good.

[ExtremistEnigma]

I think Sports is basing his opinion on him as a AM or B2B where quite frankly takes a lot of strengths away and he's much better in a Pirlo like regista role.

Hmm, yeah. But presently, most of the teams have started playing registas owing to the disappearance of 4-4-2 so he'll be a proper fit into most of the teams.

He plays in Gerrard's position... he'd be benched week in week out.

He'll take up Henderson's position.

Well, to be honest, I want Cabaye but realistically its not possible. Newcastle would want huge money for him and there will be many suitors.

to be honest, i dont know todoxdeportes lol

[Zealous]

I've heard of them before but they are not the type to break stories like this lol

Anyway I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Calcio Mercato:

Arsenal and Newcastle interested in Nicolas N'Koulou.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

[the xcx]

Another french player. Disgraceful

[Mr Nick09]

Another french player. Disgraceful

Nkoulou is from Cameroon

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Another french player. Disgraceful

From Cameroon actually.... besides we won't sign him which is why i was laughing.

He's far too good.

[the xcx]

Noones too good for Newcastle. Stop kidding urself.

[ExtremistEnigma]

Cameroonian with French nationality. Similar to Ba, Cisse etc.

[Onyx]

Porto reject 35m Euro bid from Man Utd for James Rodriguez, according to Tutto Mercato and Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio.

[McAgger]

Nkoulou and too good in the same sentence

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Nkoulou and too good in the same sentence

What's so funny? if Arsenal are interested we don't have a hope.

Its not like we are some massive club who can attract the best talent around.

[Onyx]

With Ligue 1 players succeeding at Newcastle, other Ligue 1 players may see moving to Newcastle as a good option.
