The non-Liverpool Transfer/Gossip Thread: Summer 2014

I know a few on here will be wishing we went in for this one too, but Alvaro Morata is set to join Juventus for an initial 18m Euro (rising to 22m)

Fantastic buy by Juventus, and disappointed we weren't interested. The guy is gonna be a star very soon, I think he'll be a 25+ goal forward in the next year or so.

Barca and Madrid are going to be the ones to beat across Europe this coming season. Kroos and Rodriguez at Madrid and you can bet they will sign more. Barca with Suarez, Rakitic and Ter Stegen so far.

Agree.

Have to agree mate, the signings each team has made there will make them phenomenal. Still think Bayern can push them but that's about the only team I'd put close to that league.

I agree about Bayern but I think for them to truly be able to match them then they need to make some signings, the way they got hammered by Madrid last season showed they still have quite a few weaknesses and losing Toni Kroos is a big loss for them.

Lacazette would be a good signing for Newcastle if they can pull it off. Surely he'd have been better off staying at Lyon or had a better offer than them from elsewhere.

Wow, James Rodriguez is actually moving to Real, I'm shocked, didn't think it would happen for a long time. Thought Monaco were one of those super rich clubs that were amassing huge stars rather than selling them :O

They don't have a massive income outside of transfers though do they? I don't think they have a big stadium and they wont have any sponsorship deals of any real significance at the moment having been in the lower division recently so they can't keep spending without getting any money in or they will risk the (non-existent) wrath of FFP.

Doesn't help playing in a garbage league though.

18,523 capacity. Nowhere near big enough to keep up their spending.

Thought so, I was going to look but couldn't be bothered because I was confident it was around the 20,000 marker.

Kroos to Madrid for 20 million.

How do these cu*ts continue to land top class talent for rock bottom???

The player, his agent and his dog want to go to Madrid mate, that's where the spondoolies are.

Only had a year left on his contract too didn't he? Probably knew that they HAD to take that offer or they would lose him on a free regardless of how well Bayern might have gone on to do.

No brainer that one.

Hummels going to the Scum for £16 million how the f*ck did they swing that??

Seen a few rumours about Utd and Barca scrapping over him but yet to see any confirmation. What's your source?

No chance. Absolutely no chance.

He will attract players they may not have done under Moyes even without European football.

I'll be sick if that's true. Hummels for £16 million is a deal!

MUFC fans: Hummels has a contract to 2017 w/o exit clause. Klopp's BVB never sold a star w/ >1yr left & no release clause on his contract

No way he's leaving for a ridiculously low amount.

In more hilarious news, Tom Ince has been saying he rejected a move to Milan in favour of Hull City

Klopp said for 20 million euros they can forget about that immediately.

Bojan Krkic has joined Stoke on a four year deal.
Spent last year on loan at Ajax.
