10 Predictions For The Summer
-
07-05-2012 10:58pm#1Thought this would be a good idea, similar to the ante-post predictions thread but obviously we can check back once the summer transfer window is over and don't have to wait until after the season.
All you have to do is list 10 things (in no particular order) you think will happen this summer, football related. Only ''rule'' is to try and keep it as realistic as possible. Obviously most people will be likely to make more predictions concerning their own club so that's fine.
Anyway, I'll start:
1) Germany will win Euro 2012
2) Sunderland will sign Steven Fletcher to lead the line
3) Kieran Richardson will leave and sign with a club much closer to London
4) Roberto Martinez will take the West Brom job left by Roy Hodgson
5) The big transfer saga of the summer will concern Robin Van Persie and it will end with him signing for Manchester City
6) Arsenal will be linked with big money replacements, but will sign Clint Dempsey from Fulham
7) Manchester United will spend big on the centre of their midfield
8) Newcastle will sell 3 of their current starters for healthy profits
9) Aston Villa will sack McCleish but struggle to get their first choice replacement in, leaving fans happy that he's gone but disappointed with his replacement
10) Steven Ireland will move to the MLS
Just a bit of fun anyway. Fire up your predictions lads

You sly dog!!!
Haha, good idea though I'll give it a go:
1) Germany/France for 2012 actually. Can't make up my mind which.
2) Curbs to Wolves
3) McLeish to get sacked and join a championship side midway through year
4) Taarabt and Barton to leave QPR regardless
5) Ba to go to France, Newcastle to sign Pieters and one or two unheard of players
6) Hazard to City, Gaitan to Utd
7) A star will be born at Euro 12 and will go City/Chelsea.
8) RVP will leave! Dunno if City or Barca is the destination.
9) Dempsey to Arsenal I agree on. Jelavic aswell perhaps if RVP leaves
10) Ireland will get knocked out of group but boy will we have the craic 0 -

Off the pitch that is.
2. Keane to Aston Villa (
Kryogen)

5. Ireland to go to the finals, meeting Germany and losing in 90 minutes of time, late goal from Robbie in semis- to catapult us into final
6. Dempsey to Tottenham
7. RVP to stay, Rooney to go.
8. Balotelli to be kept on, Tevez to leave, Man City to sign big star striker
9. Alex Fergusson to announce his succesor.
10. Sigurdson to be signed for Man Utd.
Edit: Wait Kryogen, you mean Roy Keane to Wolves as manager, or Robbie Keane to Wolves as player?
Guess former is more likely.0 -
1. Germany for the Euros also.
2. Keane to Wolves

Was actually thinking this earlier I actually think this may happen, with Curbishley to WBA perhaps. Really can't see Tevez going though!
Someone mentioned Higuain- for some reason I think he'll join Chelsea.
Also Mario Balo to make headlines for wrong reasons at euros. Czech rep to be the surprise package if you will.
If QPR stay up I reckon they might sign a huge name (maybe Kaka)0 -
