Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Goal.com can reveal that Ospina has agreed a 4 year contract with us and will join after our US tour.

Good signing.

Slowly getting there.....need that DM

Wenger looking at a swap if Verms goes to Utd.....not new news I know but it was the first time I heard Jones's name be mooted about

[Niall_Quinn]

Hopefully the next two are:

Couldn't see Wenger spending big money on a defensive midfielder
Couldn't see Wenger signing a striker to compete with Giroud

You are right, it truly does feel like a new era

Couldn't see Wenger ripping off Maureen's head and shitting in his dead skull. But what with the Ozil, Sanchez, Schweinsteiger thing then anything is highly desirable.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hopefully Isco and Di Maria don't go to Liverpool and United respectively.

Only mercs who want cash and write up in the celeb columns will go to Utd, they have no CL footie this year (because Moyes is a shit manager). Hope they sign Balotelli. That would be ideal, for us.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Ideal scenario for us IMO is for Isco to linger about at Madrid for another year and us to swoop in next summer and get him as our Santi replacement. Santi's moving into his 30's and I can see him being sold for someone younger next season.

As MO says, it would be absolutely horrendous for Isco to end up at Liverpool. He's actually really good.

RAWK:

'It seems quite obvious to me that BR is primarily going for players right now that can 'grow' together and then in 2 or 3 years they may be good enough to win the title - and the aim is to keep winning it again and again. Chelsea will always sign up whoever is in vogue for 40, 50, 60 million - players who may be already past their best like Torres and Shevchenko. United have lost all of their old heads and their leaders and will have to start from scratch. Citys main men aren't getting any younger.

If BR can get the likes of Sakho, Flanagan, Henderson, Origi, Sterling, Markovic - who are all in their early 20's if that - playing together as a core group and growing together for the next few years as a team then he will only have to find a couple of wise heads to compliment that. He's laying the foundations for the future by getting them in early.

I think our core group of lads - especially Sturridge, Henderson and Sterling could turn out to be our versions of Scholes, Beckham and Giggs.'

What's wrong with that?

Well, last line apart obviously. That type of shit should never be uttered.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

You said it.

Plus it's just funny seeing that level of optimism in scousers. It's come back to haunt you so many times.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Being wildly optimistic about the future is one of the central points of being a fan. It's probably the whole point.

I've seen plenty of level headed posters on here rave about youngsters who turned out to be shite, or about forming a group of players who will play for years to come and who then leave in their prime, or about how in 3/4 years time you'd have a team to definitely win the league. Happens all the time, at every single club.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Alright calm down dear, it's nearly Friday.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I just think of all the things to laugh at RAWK over, and by god there are many, that wasn't a very good one.

Anyway, we're apparently close to signing some full back from Atletico you were meant to be signing. Manquillo.
