Good morning ma brehs. First: Now to the club rumours&news: Khedira to Arsenal will be made official in the next hours, according to sport.es Now rumours to make Jontro sad: Bayern sporting director Sammer stated Shaqiri will stay with Bayern and they have big plans for him in the future. Sammer also says Bayern never made an offer to Cuadrado. Next on my list is Real, they and Rodriguez have apparently agreed on a contract (six years, 7mil/year) and are now negotiating with Monaco. Monaco would be willing to sell him for 85mil but Real wants a deal for 75mil.
Arsenal picks up another good piece within few days (Khedira). Has Wenger gone mad??? Who is this guy?
Guess he finally realized he needs big stars instead of youngsters or random French guys. Arsenal could be dangerous in the next years.
Love me some Gunners. Not a fan of Khedira but he played well enough in the tourney. Good to see Wenger grow some balls.
Arturo Vidal to Manchester United? I keep seeing this from the tabloids in England. I wouldn't mind seeing him in red. Could really sort out our immobile/aging midfield. Him and Herrara is much better than whatever the hell we ran last year (Giggs and Carrick). Also, I have been seeing a lot of people talking about Mats Hummels to Manchester. Interesting to see if Dortmund is willing to part with the best defender in the world... Blind and De Vrij are also on United's radar, which makes sense. Dutch players who know the system. Lastly, Di Maria still for sale or did that deal with PSG go through? Heard United was offered Di Maria but PSG looked to have hijack that deal. Also for those interested in football and business, United locked up a £750m shirt deal with adidas ($1.28bn). What a deal. Dunno what the current record is but I'm expecting this to shatter that.
Funny story on this. Moyes rated him as "unfit" for Premier League play. Obviously with what the entire world knows about Moyes' opinion now, United should immediately buy him. Link to above quote: http://thebusbybabe.sbnation.com/ma...51/manchester-united-david-moyes-mats-hummels
A wild prediction by Liverpool Echo... but seeing Johnson starting along with Skrtle is depressing. Also Boners along side Sturridge is also depressing. Let's hope we get some proper players in those positions.
BR hasn't made a splash,but I think he is building for the future/depth. So far he has been bringing in some great depth for the competitions we will be in next year, he should look for a Word Class CB to pair with Sakho, and a World Class Mid(Vidal?,Yaya?) that Lazar Markovic would be great up front IMO, he has the style BR wants to play. One thing tho is BR is a great coach/tactician so we will be ok next season IMO. Anyhow I wanna see this on opening day. GK:Mignolet RB:Flanagan RCB:Skrtel(or WorldClass CB or Lovren) LCB:Sakho LB:Alberto Moreno Mid:Gerrard Mid:Lallana Mid:Coutinho(or a WorldClass Mid Like Vidal or Yaya Toure) LW:Lazar Markovic ST:Sturridge RW:Sterling
Ok first dutch national player is sold. Janmaat is going to newcastle. And feyenoord has signed boulharouz.
Heard Chelsea are now after Khedira. As far as United goes, if we could get Vidal plus another centre back either Hummels or DeVrij, preferrably Hummels, that would be a good summer.
Khedira would be a great pickup for Arsenal. Besides the lack of a striker last season (sorry Giroud does not count), I think what held them back from the title was lack of size and strength in midfield. They have a bunch of midgets. Arteta and Flamini were playing that role but those two are not going to cut it if you are going against the big boys. Both got out muscled on numerous occasions. Khedira should address that issue.
Want Neuer to play all games anyways, seems Bayern didn't want to pay the 10mil buyout and came to their senses in the end. Read Real will sell Diego Lopez, does anyone know the reasons for that? Thought he'd be their main keeper from now on.
