Transfer Rumours 2014/15

Southampton signing a top central winger there.


Stephen Kelly to Crystal Palace. Very surprised, thought he would be able to get a better club. Likewise Jack Cork who I heard was likely to go to Palace.


Sunderland signing another Newcastle fan in Will Buckley. THEY'RE OBSESSED.

And I have the same question I had a few weeks ago, where the fuck are Atletico getting their money?

Costa
Filipe Luis
CL Final

Those three don't even make a minor dent in a debt of over half a billion Euro.

Jim White reckons we're signing Benetia.

Now I know his reputation is deservedly awful because hes such a goon on SSN but looking at his twitter timeline he's been spot on about absolutely everything he's said. It's crazy actually.

Arsene Wenger is close to securing a deal for the Greece international, who has also attracted interest from Juventus this summer

Olympiakos centre-back Kostas Manolas is undergoing a medical at Arsenal ahead of a move to the Gunners, Goal understands.

Manolas has attracted interest from Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who is targeting a central defensive signing before the transfer window closes following the sale of Thomas Vermaelen to Barcelona.

As reported by Goal, the Gunners opened talks with Olympiakos over a move for the defender earlier in August.

Arsenal are understood to have been quoted a transfer fee of £8 million for the centre-back.

Manolas is also wanted by Juventus, but the north London side appear to have moved ahead of the Italian club in the race to sign the Greece international.

Wenger confirmed earlier this month that Arsenal were in the market for a centre-back despite the £16m signing of Calum Chambers, who featured alongside Laurent Koscielny in the absence of Per Mertesacker in the 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

“Vermaelen behaved outstandingly last year - I am grateful for him and I wish him very well,” Wenger said.

“If I can find another centre-back I will do it."

Mertesacker, meanwhile, has signed a new long term contract at Arsenal.

How good is Benetia? Not seen much of him.

'getting?'

I kinda think we'll get him still, just a bit of humility and respect for the sake of Sportings fans and then sold.

Also think we'll get Benatia but not sure why, just don't think Bayern are really in for him.
