European summer transfer discussion thread

Found the most pathetic article on Bleacher Report; "Why the additions of Podolski and Giroud will lead Arsenal to the title". Arsenal need to fix up their showere defence and midfield first!

Modric probably will leave to either Chelsea or United.

Van Persie 50/50 weather to stay or leave for Juventus. With signing Giroud and Podolski RVP will almost certainly leave; you can't have 3 star strikers all happy, see city (Tevez, Adebayor, Dzeko all pissed off with no game time, not to mention the olds like Robinho and Santa Cruz)

I've heard that Jordi Alba from Valencia will be going to Barcelona as a replacement for Abidal.

RVP will play more as a winger now Podolski and Giroud are joining him

Goal.com...really?

[BoredSaint]

I reckon RVP will leave after they bought Giroud and Podolski. They just can't fit him in there.

Also Jordi Alba will almost certainly be joining Barcelona, Valencia can't do anything to stop him.

14 mil is so cheap for Alba. Such a good player and still really young!

Valencia always lose their best players though for small fees because they can't afford to keep them...

[Jukes]

Yeah Valencia are a good place for producing players...Villa, Silva, Alba...

Modric not coming to united because spurs want 40mil, and tbh even though I really like him that's way overpriced considering the season he just had. 30mil tops I'd pay for him. Hopefully we can target his partner in crime Bale?

[CrowsFan]

Bale just signed a new contract at Spurs so I doubt he will be moving any time soon. We don't really need any more wingers though with Valencia, Young and Nani. Kagawa also capable of playing on a wing if needed

[Jukes]

Reckon and hope Nani leaves...Valencia and Young are a lot better and Nani is very selfish. Nani and 10mil for somebody like Sneijder?

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Have heard that L.A Galaxy are interested in Lampard.

[Jukes]

Imagine how good Arsenal would be if Nasri and Fabregas stayed and Van Persie stays.

                Song
          Nasri-----Fabregas
   Giroud-----RVP-----Podolski

[CrowsFan]

Giroud can't play on a wing

[Jukes]

It's a 4-1-2-3 formation...3 strikers.
