Re: Summer Transfer Rumours Mk. X

no just saying you can't compare based on CL stats when he hasn't played in it.
that's like saying Benzema is better then Falcao, who also hasn't played in the CL.

by urbaNRoots Mon Aug 12, 2013 7:02 am

I'd rather have Benzema if I'm honest.

We'll get neither though so it's pointless. Need better sources.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Mon Aug 12, 2013 7:04 am

I wasn't comparing like that i'm just saying..... Benzema has been doing it all levels his entire career apart from one season.

Plus he doesn't come with all the bullshit Suarez does.

If Suarez is worth 40-50m then Benzema certainly is.

Doubt there's a possibility of it happening anyway but IF.

Suarez not looking to apologize to his team, apparently. hmm

by sportsczy Mon Aug 12, 2013 7:06 am

If Bale goes to Madrid, there's a good chance tbh. Maybe not now, but by the winter mercato. If Benz gets benched or enters rotation, he will ask to leave... he already did in fact but was convinced to stay last summer.

I don't see him being at Madrid if Bale is bought.

Hype seems to be ahead of goalscoring records recently when determining how much a player's value is.

by urbaNRoots Mon Aug 12, 2013 7:12 am

If he really wants to be a starter I don't see why he would wait until January. Bale is going to start for sure, Ronaldo, Oezil, Isco too. I see mo place for him in the first team if Bale comes.

by chad4401 Mon Aug 12, 2013 7:17 am

some are really taking this dmzema thing seriously Laughing

he is easily just as good as suarez while playing half the minutes and he has actually pwned some of the Cl elites even before he went to Madrid

I don't think he'll force the transfer this summer. He'll fight for his spot and, if he loses out, he'll ask for a transfer. Benz thinks he's better than everyone... so i wouldn't put it past him to try and win out a spot.

In this market, you better add £10m onto that number Wenger. Arsenal have just bumbled through this transfer window, not sure who has been worse: Arsenal or United?

Sky Sports News say Arsenal are in talks to sign Luiz Gustavo.

raphael honigstein ‏@honigstein 1h
To expand on Gustavo/Arsenal: feeling in Munich is that he's off but earlier this evening, Rummenigge said LG hadn't decided yet

raphael honigstein ‏@honigstein 1h
But it's only a question of him agreeing personal terms - valuation not an issue.

Bild are also reporting the same story with ESPN saying the fee will be somewhere in the 14-18m range.

Honigstein had Papadopoulos having a medical at Liverpool back in June, so I wouldn't put too much faith in his tweets.

Actually i can quite easily and so could many others.... its the dutch league where people like Jozy Altidore and Bas Dost are legendary.

Suarez didn't score 49. He scored 30 with Liverpool all comps (23 in EPL, 4 in Europa, 2 in FA and 1 in CC). Had 5 assists total. That's not even as good as Benzema in 2011-2012 with 32 goals and 15 assists.... in less games, minutes and shots.

Dutch League. Laughing

Graziano Pelle scored 25 goals in 22 app last season.

This is the same Dutch league that has/had everyone salivating over Bony, let's not forget.

Well that is true, if we are to be fair then the same standards should be upheld to everyone.

I do think Bony will do well though.

Agger's agent Per Steffensen on Barca:

We are aware that Barcelona have made an offer for Daniel that Liverpool have rejected. Daniel has a contract with Liverpool for the next three years and it would be up to the clubs to agree a fee for his transfer in order for that to change.

by Mr Nick09 Mon Aug 12, 2013 9:02 am

Barca have been trying to sign a CB for the past two seasons... how has your scouting dept gone so bad?

by BarrileteCosmico Mon Aug 12, 2013 9:02 am

I wouldn't matter if he scored 49 goals in the championship - it would still be a great individual season. The assumption that any forward of note could do it is laughable.

I also suppose winning the Copa America doesn't make a great season for Mole. But oh well.

Doubt its the scouts. I think Zubi simply rejects any notion of signing someone without the big name attached to it, or at least coming from another great side.

Dont think we would sign a Edmilson, a Guily, a Marquez or even a Yaya with him in charge.

Ok then..... first great season in a major league.

Happy?
