Barcelona will sign Alex Vidal from Sevilla, confirmed there a minute ago. Right winger who sometimes plays right back for Sevilla for he's probably being viewed to as alves replacement.

That transfer ban really showed barca though eh

Wasn't the ban to cover both a Summer and Winter transfer window though? Or did it start in Jan this year?

It's a fairly meh signing, he's young and English.

But yeah, stick in the boot anyway. Good analysis

CSF · 08-06-2015 10:09AM

It's a good signing if only to cover Sturridge's regular injuries. Not every signing has to be the next Suarez.

I think its pretty clear from the last few seasons that teams aren't able to successfully integrate 5/6 new players and start a season well. Liverpool are 2 signings in already, with Sterling potentially leaving and still needing players in key positions. Meh signings aren't going to push them forward, 2/3 strong signings would. Pretty confident to predict that if Liverpool sign more than 5 first team players they won't make top 4

Ings won't be a first team player.

Milner will be and I think most people are quite happy with that.

Its hard to integrate 5/6 foreign players. I think players like Milner/Ings who offer huge workrate along with their ability have a better chance of fitting in that someone like Markovic last season.

Both Markovic and Lallana joined last season and i think its fair to say Lallana was less sh1te that Markovic purely because he worked harder. Both were poor but Lallana was less poor than Markovic IMO

Villa, Lampard and Pirlo in the same side would be interesting to watch!

Lallana was probably less ****e because hes 6 years older and wasn't playing completely out of position..

If ever two parties could take back a transfer, I'm sure Sunderland and Darren Bent would be the one.

The Independent are reporting that Spurs have had a 12m bid accepted on Ings, in spite of Liverpool agreeing the deal to sign him. While it looks like he's still Liverpool bound, this is relevant.

Tottenham’s late bid for the player will be taken into consideration if a tribunal meets to decide the fee. Though Ings has no interest in joining Spurs, Burnley can cite the higher offer, as well as the player’s contribution for them, as relevant factors for consideration if the case comes before a Professional Football Compensation Committee (PFCC).

So Burnley can now demand more than the initially touted 5m Pool were paying.

Are Spurs literally only doing this to screw with Liverpool?

Apparently Spurs are after Trippier so the thinking is we'll get a discount on him in return for driving up the Ings fee.

Signing Paul Pogba would be a huge gamble for either Real Madrid or Barcelona, says Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Terry Gibson.

“I’m not criticising Pogba. I still think he’s a very very good young player,” said Gibson on the La Liga Weekly Podcast.

“But I still think it’s a huge gamble for Real Madrid or Barcelona to pay the huge sum of money it’s going to take to get him to leave Juventus.

“I would rather have Claudio Marchisio. Marchisio is a better player than Paul Pogba.

“He played better at the weekend and he’s done it for a longer period of time. There’s a big age difference but Pogba’s a glamour signing.”

Who is Terry Gibson and what is he smoking?

Lovely Bloke · 09-06-2015 03:47PM

didn't he used to play for united?

Arlauskis has joined Watford

Sunderland are trying to cancel the permanent signing of Alvarez after his performances yet Inter are refusing to take him back. Sunderland are trying to claim he is injured and that voids the deal.

Just really goes to show what a shambles we have going on at boardroom level. The agreement should be pretty clear one way or the other and if it is there, whoever sanctioned the deal in the first place should be shot. It should have been an option to buy, not guarantee.

Having to sign him permanently would be an utter disaster considering how rubbish he was. £7.5m too :rolleyes: That said, I'd rather be staying up and have to sign him than go down and not.

Berlusconi selling 48% of his shares in Milan has given an influx of cash that hasn't been there for years.

Over the last few days negotiations have begun for Jackson Martinez and Geoffrey Kondogbia.

Was expecting a few big signings but these two would be fantastic.

Newcastle will be looking for a new manager now as they've sacked Carver and his assistant manager.

Sure looks that way! He failed to get Derby back into the Premier League but looks a cert to be a Premier League manager next season with the Geordies.

So the comedy continues there.
Poor Darryl Janmaat.

LuckyLloyd · 10-06-2015 08:09AM

I'm loathe to defend McClaren, but he came very close to getting Derby up. Wouldn't call his job there a disaster by any means. I think he's a solid manager overall, who has demonstrated an ability to win a league and progress in European competition. A good pick up for Newcastle tbh.

That comb over is indefensible though, jaysus.
