Re: Summer Transfer Rumour Thread

JoJo is a forward in the mold of Rooney, Ibra and Lewandowski

He'd look for teammates to set up a goal instead

The plus side is that he has exceptional finishing (Unlike Lewandowski)

During the Prandelli year of Viola, he opted to use him behind the striker

Dont know much about what Arsenal would want, but dont you guys want someone like a poacher (i.e. Gomez) instead of JoJo? cuz he's gonna be really expensive

Just my thoughts, would like to hear more about an Arsenal fan's POV

by RealGunner on Mon Apr 22, 2013 1:36 am

Nah we need someone like Rooney/Ibra/Jovetic.

Jovetic would be Dzeko's replacement in my opinion. Dzeko might be off to Dortmund or something. City do need a forward as mole rightly said

The way Arsenal play, I'm sure they'd want someone who offers more than just goals.

Maybe Benzema?

Mole bad mouthing Kun again

If we can afford him

Jovetic is the one we all wanted.

They'd probably both cost around the same.

Just speaking facts mate, he's been bad this season lol.

25M

We payed half of that for half of Giovinco

"Buying Jovetic would be very complicated" *bleep* off 25M is nothing in 2013.

by djfawnz on Mon Apr 22, 2013 2:16 am

Jovetic should go to Juve. If they are wise they need to spend all they can on WC striker and for me, Jovetic, Suarez, Tevez, Higuain could fit the bill.

I have a soft spot for Lamela though....

Hell....knowing Marotta he'll buy Diamanti and say Italian teams cant buy top striker.....

looool look at this another juve fan posting the same time as me

Jovetic actually isn't an "exceptional" finisher, though, is he? He statistically takes a ton of shots in order to convert his chances. BTW I'm not saying he's bad or overrated, he's actually a personal favorite of mine and I'd love Arsenal to sign him. And I like the fact that he seems to have a lot of goals in his range - long cannon shots as well as scrappy poacher's tap-ins. But I don't think of him as a really clinical finisher.

BTW, I think Benzema would cost a hefty chunk more than Jovetic - especially if reports are accurate about Jovetic probably going for something in the £20-25m range. If either main Madrid forward leaves, whatever club gets the guy is going to be lucky to have him in my opinion.

Everton interested in winger Juan Carlos, who is currently playing for Real Betis, on loan from Braga.

Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller on Schurrle to Chelsea:

"There is nothing that is set in stone, we are far from having agreed anything yet".

“This is partly a question of alternatives and the overall package. There are many factors and to be honest, it also depends on De Bruyne.

“De Bruyne is a top replacement. He plays in a similar position to Andre. If a good player is leaving us then we need to bring in a player who is equally as good or better.

“As long as we cannot find a reasonable agreement Andre remains with us. He is a strong character and next year is the World Cup. He will want to be a major player and he also has the potential."

Raphael Honigstein (@honigstein) reporting on Twitter that Bayern have activated Götze's release clause and he's going to sign for them. Apparently Bild are running, or going to run the story.

Anyone heard more on this? I never would have guessed this would happen, plus it didn't seem to have started from an Internet Bullshit Artist.

EDIT: Bild article, courtesy of Samuelj29060: http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/borussia-dortmund/wechselt-zu-bayern-30111116.bild.html

Wtf, surely Bayern are going to NEED to sell players who are unhappy.

Gotze will not want to be benched, neither will Muller, Robben or Gomez.

by Onyx on Tue Apr 23, 2013 12:33 am

Apparently the transfer will be 37m Euros and Gotze will get 7m a year.

Calling it now if this happens....

Gotze will be used as a false 9 and there will be a massive push by the media proclaiming he is Germany's answer to Messi.

And Kroos, and Shaqiri ... to be honest I was impressed at how Bayern managed to balance their squad this season. But now ... scratch

Is Ribery expected to leave Bayern this summer?

by RealGunner on Tue Apr 23, 2013 12:35 am

Bayern winning the league for the next 10 years. They will probably sign Reus as well if they want. Probably get Gundogan when Bastian retires.

If this happens and i hope it doesn't i'm absolutely certain this is how it will go down.

by Onyx on Tue Apr 23, 2013 12:42 am

I doubt Mandzukic will randomly get benched. However yeh, that's a possibility.

by RealGunner on Tue Apr 23, 2013 12:43 am

Pep will bench Mandzukic the 2nd day in training.
