Transfer gossip etc

Yep it's around all year and I always read the crap on the bbc. Possibly my all time favourite piece of transfer gossip is this:

Real Madrid will use rookie striker Negredo as bait in a bid for Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso - but they will first have to buy back the forward from Almeria.

So they've got an extra hat to pick names out of now, the 2 teams, a player the team has and a player neither team has! Pretty impressive really

Apparently they want Tevez as well both for 42m

Yeah I can see everyone being linked with Man city.

City need a good season , get into europe then maybe they may have a chance of attracting top players . Tevez would be a good signing for them tho tbh they are the only club to match the asking price

Seen and heard him say that for a minute an hour ago,celtic must be going mad if they want him

I would take TA in a heartbeat but only as defensive coach, he did a great job at Portsmouth in that role. If only Wenger would ask him!

We should run a book on who will be top in the 'linked with' stakes. I guess the front runners will be Man City and Spurs.

Barry obviously meant something else when he said he would only join a club in the CL

Adams has gone mad full stop. He wants to gan back to that clinic if he keeps hearing a dutch blokes voice in his heed.

**adam_ayres1988** · #13 08-06-2009, 10:17 PM

Apparently we might be getting some guy called Vermaelen, link
Apparently he's 5'11" another short defender, do we really want that?

6'1" on wiki wiki though

**fishtoast** · #14 08-06-2009, 10:43 PM

Yes,knew that for 4 days,setanta's live transfer blog thing said that last thrusday - they also said you were after someone else that has been no where [cant remember who]

**wakka839** · #15 08-06-2009, 10:49 PM

I dont think height is really a problem, the guy looks to have a good jump and can head, what has let Arsenal down at set pieces is the ability to track runners in the box and get infront of them.

The height difference between most strikers and 5'11" isnt that much if he gets infront he can head ball away, thats all we need.

Also heard reports that he is pretty strong and can hold players of and challenge effectively in the air.

He gave RVP a hard night in the Amsterdam tournament, RVP lost it as he was bullied all game. Have to wait and see.

Cannavaro was only a squirt but he was one of the best defenders in the world.

Ok if he's as good as Cannavaro in his day, then sure get the guy now. Just hope he can step up to the premier league, which Arshavin did pretty well actually. You know what I'll have faith in Wenger, just pray he's right.
