True.

by Tomwin Lannister Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:08 pm

Milan won't get Eriksen. Not if they want Honda (Which is 99% happening)

Honda, Eriksen and SES on the same team just can't happen unless 2 of them are played out of position.

As for Sakho, he's quite overrated. People who actually watch PSG a lot seem to agree.

After Verratti, Thiago Silva also extended until 2018.

by M99 Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:14 pm

Sakho is better than every single CB in our squad so I would take him. Not much good CBs available in the market. Why can't we go for some young players in teams that are smaller than us like Bruno Martins, De Vrij, Chiriches? Frustrating stuff, brb buying Silvestre.

by Firenze Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:15 pm

Sakho would look superhuman in that Milan backline tho'

by Tomwin Lannister Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:16 pm

So would Bramble.

FFS so would I.

We had the third best defence in Serie A last season, in part due to the fact that our defence is far more than our back four but also due in part to the quality of the individuals therein.

I've no issue with Zapata being poked fun at, but I shall not stand by and hear the great Mexesbauer insulted :coffee:

by Kaladin Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:20 pm

Mexes is quite underrated, i mean he isn't the reincarnation of Nesta or anything but he gets the job done. He's also very good at commanding the back line. Not to mention his underrated ball playing skills. But he isn't getting any younger

Though i'd welcome Sakho with open arms :bow:

dat French partnership :bow:

Who cares lol? any transfer is paid eventually no matter of how many installments it is.

At end of day they are paying a fair price for Willian and Lamela and not overpaying at all.
I was under the impression that Spurs do their transfers with higher no.of installments.(Probably wrong).

I don't think its a club policy or anything, just that like anyone else will probably try and get the deal paid over a longer time as its more cost effective.

Obviously with more bigger name talents you are less likely to get a 30m transfer paid over 5 years.

Probably one of the reasons why Juve struggled to get a big name forward before Tevez tbf.

Sakho wants to go to Liverpool according to Le Parisien today:

http://www.leparisien.fr/psg-foot-paris-saint-germain/sakho-piste-par-un-nouveau-club-italien-22-08-2013-3071075.php

Milan is there but Sakho will not accept a loan and PSG want between 15-20 million paid over 2 years max.

I think Liverpool get him.

by Tomwin Lannister Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:25 pm

Nah Beppe just didn't want to (Possibly was not told to) go upwards of 25-30M

If we don't find a deadly partnership this season. We'll definitely end up paying big for a striker next year.

Considering by the end of this window we will end up having made a profit Laughing

from outgoing and incoming transfers.

Don't worry Tom, fear does that to people :coffee:

fear...

fear that Mexes will punch Borriello in the kidney again. Sad

by dostoevsky Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:28 pm

That implies Borriello will see the pitch this season Laughing

by Tomwin Lannister Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:29 pm

I'm silently hoping that we'll rescue him and give him more trophies

That legend scored a diving header against us last season and refused to celebrate.

Dat Marco - Conte love Proud

by dostoevsky Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:30 pm

Going back to Juve would be a backwards step in his goal to become the ultimate Serie A journeyman. He still has to get to Inter, Lazio, Napoli and Fiorentina and time is running out fast.

by Tomwin Lannister Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:32 pm

he'll never be Luca Toni ffs.

So he should just accept his destiny and get paid £50,000 per week to train with us and fetch any stray balls.

by dostoevsky Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:37 pm

Posting a rumour to pretend I'm being vaguely on topic.

--------------------------------

Estudiantes have confirmed an agreement has been reached with Napoli regarding Duvan Zapata’s move to Italy.

“The terms have been finalised and everything has already been signed,” Estudiantes President Enrique Lombardi told La Redonda. “Napoli will pay around €8m.”

Zapata is a striker who joined his present Argentine club from America de Cali in 2011.

He was close to signing for QPR and Sassuolo this summer, but the Azzurri have now wrapped up a deal for him.

Zapata, 22, is a Colombian Under-20 international.

--------------------------------

A significant fee, though it is to be expected in this market even for a back-up. Hopefully his adventure in Serie A proves to be more successful than Napoli's last major venture into the South American market, Vargas.

That rules out Borriello to Napoli, back to Papa Conte it is. Though in truth, I would hold onto him if I were Roma and use him as first back-up to Destro, who I believe to be ready to take on first team duties.

by Tomwin Lannister Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:39 pm

Forgot all about Vargas Laughing

Big things were expected from him. But Alec Baldwin/Hoffman with his infinite wisdom of rotating squads ruined any chance of that.

Welcome home Marco :bow:

You are one of us.

Monaco has spoken to Spanish officials to get the exact amount including tax that would need to get paid for Kondogbia.

May or may not happen... but it will be an informed decision :coffee:

by Onyx Thu Aug 22, 2013 3:53 pm

Various reports in Nigeria are claiming that Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel could be set to leave the club this summer and is attracting interest from Napoli and Galatasaray.

The Turkish club have reportedly submitted an offer of €12million for Mikel.
