Transfer Rumour Thread 2011/2012

[StuW]

Please Leicester, leave us alone. We need every striker right now lol

Happy birthday btw-have a good 'un!

That was Thursday, but thanks :wub:

there is always a chance that he might flop in the PLM and he only had a decent season in the Serie A


Plus I always though Sneijder plays best behind a striker with the freedom to roam and Rooney usually plays there for Man Utd...?

He might flop or he may reach new level with us. Every transfer is a gamble. His is at his peak now. He had decent season as he was injured a lot and rushed back as he is very key player for Inter.

Scholes used to play in more advanced position but he changed his game to deeper role coz of his passing range which I can see in Sneijder..

there's always a chance any player might flop. you about to spend 21m on a player is more potential than ability.

Sneijder can play amc or mc. As for last season, despite being injured was still one of inter top 5 players. Ww dont need to sell on every player we buy

Just how big teams should be thinking. We are not selling club to worry about that. What we have to consider is "Can he improve our team"? Yes. That should be enough along with can we afford his wages.

It should never be "How much can we get after 3-4 years by selling him"..

no I agree every transfer is a gamble but considering the outlay of this transfer its a massive risk.... would welcome him to the EPL and his talent is undoubted but its a massive risk all the same and considering the media will be dissecting his every game like they are doing to Torres and just heap loads of pressure on him... it will be a very risky gamble but one I hope succeeds if it happens

Btw Mike being one of Inter's top 5 players?? that just sounded like you were fishing for something to say lol to justify Sneijders season

Oh yeah and Sneijder can play MC but he performs best behind the striker in a VDV like role no doubt

it is well-known that Ferguson prefers to buy players under the age of 27 so they have sell-on value... obviously he has broken this from time to time but usually thats what he prefers and I think this is whats stopping him from proceeding further in the transfer talks

hardly fishing, go do some research on him, as you dont seem to have watch him, finished with most key passes per game, as usual he was excellent at creating, only issue was his finishing. Its not a "massive risk" at all, dont sensationalise. people dissected Torres game because he has been pretty **** for 18 months.

except thats not true at all in this case, he wants Sneijder to lower his wage demands

[/COLOR]it is well-known that Ferguson prefers to buy players under the age of 27 so they have sell-on value... obviously he has broken this from time to time but usually thats what he prefers and I think this is whats stopping him from proceeding further in the transfer talks

He was easily their top 5 player last season and in Treble winning season maybe top3 or 2..

And redarding Ferguson part, any examples?

FYI we always wanted to buy younger players not that we can sell them for profits.. Do you think we bought Rooney so that we can sell him for profit? We did coz we saw the potential and we buy young players so that we make them into stars and expect them to stay with us for long time.. Not to sound arrogant, we buy young players to teach them to play United way. Play till the final whistle. There are some attributes which should be learnt as a young player, not at peak..

Also I expect you to give few examples Alzaraz. Those we have signed as a young player with an intnention to make profit alone.. And please dont say Ronaldo.

 

[Mike.]

Also, sorry but if this is a "massive gamble", what the **** was Torres then?

 

[sunilvk7]

TBH this argument wont make any sense.. Which transfer is not a gamble? We have seen premier league proven players not able to play that well for other teams in the same league.

Its a risk but IMO its the risk we have to take to address our weakest part..

Alcaraz- Sneijders not a gamble, been amazing wherever he has been. Adapts well to whatever role is asked of him, being a set piece specialist it reduces the risk as well.

Madridista-Of course I'll keep my username change promise, I still don't think Nasri will move. MCFC still have a shot at De Rossi according to CDS, Roma have offered €5m a year and City have offered €10m. He was supposed to meet Sabatini yesterday to finalise signing the renewal at Roma but he no showed. Alot more plausible than Nasri. (IMO)

10m? Did I just dream these whole FFP regulations?

Scary thing is, if they can't shift the deadwood earning 80-120k a week there...And bring in DDR/Cerci on top of that then one wonders how the Sheikh will hide that 'load'.

 

[Joss]

I don't know whether Nasri will leave or not - Wenger's stance seems to have softened a little - but if I may I'd just like to dispel some rumours.

AOC wasn't signed as a 'replacement' for Nasri. As with all of our targets, we've tracked him for a long time and we first made an official move in January. We were always going to bid for him again this summer unless Liverpool got there first.

Well...how is De Rossi related to Nasri? Nasri isn't a deep-lying playmaker. I heard De Rossi didn't show up either. But i dunno if to believe that 10m offer. But it could be 2 separate deals?

Im fairly sure Nasri will sign and i think he is the number 1 target. Especially after reading this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/aug/08/arsenal-samir-nasri-manchester-city

An Epic Fail XD

He will sell the naming rights of the training ground XD

 

[StuW]

I don't think you will sign Sneijder. IMO, you have a ready made Scholes already, with a bit of work, Cleverley would do that role well.

I know it all points to it but I don't think so.

Mancini has been adamant to the press he wants ONE midfielder and ONE winger.

Fairly sure if they moved for DDR then Nasri is not as concrete as people think and as I've said I honestly think Nasri will resign/stay.

Cerci/DDR is who it looks like at the minute, Cerci missed the Fiorentina Newcastle friendly the other day didn't even make the match squad.

He's well and truly burned his bridges with Dalla Valle at Fiorentina and City are 100% in for him.

 

[StuW]

Would rather sign Vargas TBH, but I suppose it is the Italian connection. De Rossi would be fantastic, but do City really need him?
