Transfer Rumours 2013/14

He's just too limited, for me, to ever really be a useful asset for a team like Spurs

Yeah, he runs around a lot gets 'stuck in' and generally shows a lot of passion but he's a liability on the ball and pretty much a waste of a space in midfield because you can do a lot of his job as a discipline cohesive unit, rather than a reliance on him to run around a lot.

That's why he stood out at West Ham, really, because the team was so awful that he had a carte blanche to run around a lot and make tackles. You don't really need those fire fighter type players at the top of the game.

Well this season all he did was to pick up the ball and run with it in circle trying to dribble opposition players.

Not seen loads of Paulinho but isn't he similar to Sandro? Seems a bit silly.

Nah, he's a proper box-to-box midfielder.

Is Paulinho basically the replacement for Modric?

Dembele is a b2b midfielder as well, I thought Paulinho is an adv playmaker.

Oh and Huddlestone I forgot about him, had some good games at the slight end of the season especially after he was subbed on v City he changed the course of the game.

This. Coup for Spurs. Considering he's 4 years younger then Fernandinho, costing about £13m less and gets in the Brazil squad infront of him.

Cardiff linked with Wanyama swoop

Cardiff City are reportedly considering a bid for Celtic midfielder Vincent Wanyama.

Wanyama, 21, has been courted by a number of Premier League clubs, with Southampton believed to have made a £12 million bid for the Kenya international.

However, the Daily Record reports that Wanyama favours a move to newly promoted Cardiff, who it is claimed are also willing to meet Celtic’s asking price.

Wanyama has starred for the Hoops since arriving at Parkhead in a £900,000 move from Belgian side Germinal Beerschot two years ago, with his displays in last season’s Champions League particularly impressive.

The midfielder has previously been linked with Manchester United and Liverpool, but would be willing to settle for a lesser Premier League side in order to test himself in England.

I don't think Wanyama's worth £12 million. Great buy for any mid/lower table EPL club but maybe worth just around £8-9m.

Everton are close to signing McGeady for £4mill apparently, don't know what to make of that.

McGeady was awesome on FM back in his Celtic years.

Someone bought Championship Manager 2008?

I haven't bought it...
