Transfer Rumours 2013/14

I don't, but I'll be worried if he is correct.

I thought West Ham were trying for him?

Is it just me or has absolutely fuck all happened in this transfer window?

What's the deal with Ji, was he sold to Augsburg or sent on loan? The BBC are saying he was sold there and will join Dortmund for free in the summer which makes no sense at all

I think Dortmund worked with Augsburg to buy Ji - a few months back Sunderland rejected something like a 4-5 mil bid from Dortmund thinking they would be able to negotiate for more money. Then Dortmund gave Augsburg money to buy Ji because Sunderland would probably not try hard to inflate his price against a small club. Sunderland obviously did not know about it and even announced it as a permanent move to Augsburg on their website. So it's a permanent move to Dortmund and he will spend the rest of the season at Augsburg and begin his 4 year contract with Dortmund in July. Will be a good move for him because he hasn't been playing for a while and he did well in Augsburg last season so he will be able to get his match fitness up in time for the WC.

I don't think Klopp brought him to replace Lewandowski for next season as announced by the media - although I'm hoping Klopp develops him like he did with Kagawa. It's a shame he wasn't used over Altidore who has been absolutely rubbish.

Just thought with Uniteds problems, Arsenal's striker and injury issues etc there will be a few more transfers but only really big move has been Matic?

The problem with our problems is apart from right back we don't need to buy for the sake of buying (and even then if Moyes played Fabio we'd be fine) we just need quality.

So January sucks for us, really. Half the players we want will be cup-tied in the Champions League, the other half (such as Koke, for example) won't move in January leaving us with fuck all to really go for and the players that probably would move, Cabaye for example are going to be vastly overpriced.

The clubs confident we can attract the players we want with or without Champions League football next year, and I'd rather see us go into the summer with a shrewd plan rather than panic buy players like Cabaye for a lot more than they are worth only for them not to be who we really want.

Of course, we could just be skint.

Guarin is on his way to Juventus, with Vucinic going the other way in a swap deal.

Arsenal apparently wanted Vucinic on loan, but Juventus wanted to sell.

So, this deal is apparently not going to happen. Inter are trying to pull out because of the negative reaction from their fans.

Thing is your chances to sign players aren't going to get any better in the summer because of the World Cup, unless you either sign players before or have players in mind to sign and they have a quiet World Cup.

It did sound like a bit of a stupid deal.

Telegraph headline tomorrow is a £37m United bid for Mata.

Most likely a load of bollocks.
