Summer Transfers, Rumours & Opinions

It's called quality control carmine.

MANLOVE more like!!!

Get a grip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll tell you something else too....he may be a coach with an excellent track record but he's also a complete fruitcake with an explosive temperament. Theres an awful lot more risk taken on here by Man Utd than you seem to realise.

[P45Mustang]

Possibly.

Talk football carmine. You are good at that.

Best leave the acerbic stuff to the resident expert 'sourpuss'.

[P45Mustang]

van Gaal is like Mourinho.

Marmite. Love 'em or hate 'em.

You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.

Vermaelen to Man U? Arsenal = Manchester Feeder Club

Apparently, Vermaelen is crap. So either the newspapers have got it wrong and United aren't interested, or somebody better tell Woodward.

Wouldn't want United wasting their money would we.

[SantiSuk]

Was good and well-loved at the Emirates (the "verminator"). Dunno what went wrong - he's left sided and both Gibbs and Koscielny are better. Nonetheless he is still in the Belgium World Cup squad, but probably won't get a start unless there are injuries.

Could re-find himself at another club in which case he would be a steal at 10 mil plus or minus 3.

I have no problem with feeding Man U for a couple of seasons. Don't like feeding Man City; how times have changed!

You're just gutted that Spurs lost out getting LVG.

Nice try Nev! however i'm am well aware we got the best manager our current situation and standing could realistically expect to get.

On the flip side i can enjoy watching louis trying to dogmatically impose his ways whilst the class of '92 keep murmuring that its not the United way. To be followed by fits of rage from the mad dutchman!

Bit early yet for you rags to go back to your gloating ways

[StevieH]

Can't get into our first team. West Ham used to be where we dumped our rejects, but the Moaners have more money.

isn't vermaelen very injury-prone as well?

doesn't exactly seem a like for like replacement for vidic.

[Chicog]

If they are using him as a replacement for Vidic I will be terribly amused.

I'd be tempted to give him to them for nothing if I were Wenger.

Fact is, Mourinho and van Gaal will dominate the EPL one way or another.

Charming One has his place.

Pochetino at Spurs? Sounds good to me, but it won't be instant.

The media will continue to love Mourinho. They'll try that with van Gaal as well... until he shoves a microphone up somebody's bum.

Yep. Every chance that is exactly what will happen.

Love him? They were ripping the piss out of him by the end of the season. Why do you think he's gone off trying to be all caring to starving African kids or something?

They'll be poking Van Gaal with a sharp stick at the first opportunity now they've found out how hot headed he is.

Tantrums at those press conferences make great viewing.

[wilai]

Ronald Koeman gets the Southampton job. That may speed up the Lallana/Lovren/Shaw/Wanyama/Schneiderlin/Chambers/Clyne/Ward-Prowse moves

Love him for the copy Chiccy. Nothing else, and I agree.

[P45Mustang]

And you think you know something van Gaal doesn't ?

So the press will be kind to him?

Lining up Drogba mate, and possibly his future security. Or maybe his heart. Or all three.

Piss off Pochettino! .............just kidding, nice to see you have a manager who knows what he's doing.

City's backup keeper, Pantilimon, signs with Sunderland. Best of luck big fella.

Not sure where the big cech is going to, to be frank.

He's going to be Frank not Petr?

Sounds like Xavi might have retired.

Al Arabi manager Dan Petrescu has claimed Barcelona star Xavi has agreed to join his side.

The former Chelsea defender insists the Spain international has already signed a pre-contract agreement with the Qatari club.

According to reports in Romania, the 34-year-old could earn just over £6million a season should the move go through.

On the move? Barcelona star Xavi (right) has agreed to join Qatari club Al Arabi according to Dan Petrescu

Claims: Former Chelsea man Petrescu, pictured during his time with Dinamo Moscow, is managing in Qatar

Speaking to Digisport, the former Romanian international said: 'Xavi signed a pre-contract with Al Arabi. There were probably other offers from other teams.'

The midfielder has spent his entire career with the Catalan giants but it seems his time at the Nou Camp is coming to an end with Al Arabi seemingly in the driving seat to sign him.

Arsenal have already lost Bacary Sagna to Manchester City this summer and captain Thomas Vermaelen could be heading to Manchester United.

Now Joel Campbell could be the next Gunner to attract interest from big-name rivals if he continues his excellent start to the World Cup, according to Costa Rica team-mate Celso Borges.

Yep. Mourinho Masterclass.

Probably play Courtois in goal, Cech in Lampard's old position and Cesc on the bench.

I think that's a very likely scenario when we play Spurs.

Campbell played very well in the CL for Olympiacos.

Seem to remember him doing considerable damage against UNITED.

I like it. Cost absolute peanuts.

But if he's good Wenger will keep him. Cheaper than paying 30m+ for a striker innit.

[jellydog]

Word has it that Man United are closing in on pacey winger Nico Gaitan of Benfica. Note Russ that I said "closing in". Not a done deal.

Hahaha, he's been on our radar for years, that closing in's been about 4 years in the waiting now though, I rate him and would be happy with him..
