Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

Hah PES was great with all the koreans, Lee Chun Soo was amazing upfront, more so than this guy ...

Monaco were surprisingly fun to play with as well, good balance against a similar level team.

Well if we do get the guy, I'm not going to condemn him based on his transfer fee, until he plays a few games.

Hardly a transfer that will inspire the club, but your right, he needs to be given a chance.

Few details.... Fee €3m with €2m add-ons. Wages about €47,000 pw

Ah, I didn't know that. Might go some way to explaining the price tag, not a ringing recommendation if his team was relegated though.

That doesn't stop people wanting Parker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crikey, is he not even playing in Ligue 1?

What arre Lille's role in this? Were they trying to sign him too?

Apparently so. And yeah Monaco were relegated last season.

I have no problem with the signing...as long as Wenger gets good, established-quality players in at CM and CB (will probably cost £20m+ a piece)....not happening is it? We'll get the CB but miss out on a much needed CM. We probably need a left-back too considering we sold Clichy and Gibbs is always dead...but lets give that a miss.

Fair point.

I'd quite like Parker myself, despite Frimpong being the best thing since sliced bread.

Exactly, it wasn't ST where we needed a huge star player. It would be nice, but the priority for spending big should be centermid and centreback. A cheap, effective striker who can score goals is exactly what we could do with.

Fair enough, let's condemn him based on his poor career goal record instead then.

To be honest it's hard not to be disappointed when we sell two top players and then sign players that Championship teams are more likely to sign.

Wenger just doesn't understand the meaning of quality players, according to him this guy must be super quality if we sign him the, what a deluded fool.

You just can't trust the manager to get anything right in the transfer market it seems these days.
