I wouldn't go near Gaston Ramirez, don't think he would fit in at all.

Ben Arfa on a season long loan would have been a decent option too, I think. Don't think he's good enough, but he'd be a better squad player than Aspas/Assaidi/Moses.

BBC breaking news - Assaidi to Stoke back on.

Please make it so.

Loan only isn't it? £1 million for the year. Another greedy git whose wage demands scuppered a permanent move.

Forgot he even played for us

Poor lad.

I am just glad we have all our incoming transfer business completed. No need now for panic buys.

Looks like it's only on loan.

Our listed of loaned players is ridiculous.

Arsenal are placing their Champions League and top 4 hopes in a United reject who has questionable decision making, questionable finishing and whose confidence is totally shot.

He's 23, has played a lot of the time wide left and is costing £2m more than the fee Sunderland were willing to pay us for Borini or £4m more than Southampton paid for Shane Long. He's tall, quick, had loads of CL and international experience and has plenty of development potential if Wegner works his magic on him, plays him central and gives him a run of games.

I don't think he's a nailed on solution for Arsenal but they could do a lot worse and if he doesn't settle they'll get £10m for him in a couple of years from a mid table or newly promoted team when he's 25.

It's quite a smart signing in my opinion, no real downside.

Not to self: Mark this post for "I told you so" purposes in a few months time ðŸ˜‰

According to the Arsenal thread, an old flame from here in Toby Alderweirld (sp) is going to Southampton.

Assume its a stepping stone before moves to Liverpool next summer

Nothing compared to Chelsea who have 22 players on loan.

So Borini is staying and will be our 4th choice striker. Personally I dont see anything wrong with him wanting to stay an fight for his place. Personally I think he may turn out to be a better option than Lambert but time will tell. The lad will feel he has something to prove as hes never really got a proper crack at it due to injuries etc

Sandro to QPR for £10M. For awhile he looked to be the real deal, will be interesting to see how he gets on in a relegation battle.

Makes no difference to Assiadi does it? He stays on his LFC contracted wages (presumably paid for in full by Stoke) and he'll be a year nearer a Bosman free at the end of the season at which time he'll be able to command much higher wages as the club he signs for won't have to pay a transfer fee.

What would you do in the circumstances? Sign for Stoke on lower wages and give up the chance for higher wages in a year or two just to keep LFC who signed but didn't play you happy? Yeah right!

Micha Richards on loan to Fiorentina for £3.5M with option to buy at £4.7M. A bargain relative to some of the crazy fees we've seen this Summer.

kfallon · 01-09-2014 10:32PM

What happened to Borini to QPR? :mad:

Presume we didn't get a keeper in?

Probably cost about 500k for every game he will play.

Assaidi loan deal done.

No keeper in but Valdes is a free agent so deal not needed to be done today

He looks as if he's thinking "God dammit, I thought I'd never see this damn shirt again!!"

kingshankly · 01-09-2014 10:44PM

Borini on his way to Sunderland

Slattsy · 01-09-2014 10:44PM

Actually feel sorry for him, never really got a chance at all and seemed like a good lad.

pmy.murphy · 01-09-2014 10:46PM

John Guidetti gone to Celtic from Man City. I do think he would have been an excellent 3rd/4th choice striker for us for a very cheap price had Borini left. He needs to leave City before he can prosper
