Transfer Rumours 2013/14

He's waiting for a Newcastle bid.

Thiago Alcantara, the star of Spain's European u21 final, can leave the Azulgrana in any moment. The player has decided to leave Barcelona and accept one of the two offers that he has on the table.

The two teams with proposals are Manchester United and Bayern Munich. The English club wants to reinforce their weak central midfield where they find players with physical profiles but lack creative players with penetration, so the arrival of Thiago would be ideal. The german club is the other pushing for Thiago, Pep Giardiola knows him well and knows his willingness to leave the Catalan club and does not want to let him escape his clutches. Thiago is the prize of the market and is only "worth" 18M euros. A bargain/steal.

So it sounds like his choice is to join United and basically play every game or go to Bayern and play under a manager he already knows but who have a much stronger central midfield.

It seems from translated interviews I've seen that he might prefer the move to England, but we'll see.

That's from a Catalonian source, Graham Hunter reckons it's between us Chelsea and City.

yeah he can fuck off...but he going to medical at upton park. GRR!

He's basically signed for you, you spanner.

yeah why so long...i bet Carroll wait for Newcastle to buy him but yeah £100k is too much ...oh well, i hope he can score more 20 goals!!!

Do you smoke crack?

yeah ive been meaning to ask for a while, no offence or anything but are you English?

im waited to hear from Carroll to confirm sign or fuck off!

Wow, £100k per week? He's not even a proven goalscorer, West Ham could buy a better player than Carroll.

im agree with you....£100k he fucking greedy bastard but lets hope he score more 20 goals!

Possibly dyslexic.

Do we need to rename this thread to just "Transfer Rumours" now 2012/13 has officially had the door shut?

Carroll is officially gone.

FINALLY!!!

done.

£15.5m with £2m more based on performance, more than I expected. Apparently he's on closer to £80k rather than the £100k rumoured.

Just a random question regarding Carroll. Am I the only one that thinks he looks like this model?

Someone, presumably De Gea, wrote "Nos vemos en Manchester" (see you in Manchester) on Thiago's match ball yesterday

Isco

ok brilliant

According to SSN Swansea have made a bid for Gomis from Lyon

Graham Hunter reckons we've agreed wages with Thiago.



(I know it's Graham Hunter, let me have this)

I'd absolutely love to have Thiago and Kagawa in midfield together.

Please happen.

He signed this guy's United top.

/clinging to anything I can.

The only concern I'd have is him wanting to go 'home' at some stage, but fuck if we could get like 4-5 good years out of him then it'd be worth it I'm sure.

Fuck cares about that right now.

All players will be tempted to leave at some point or another, he seems far less enamoured with the 'Mes que un Club' bollocks than most, which is why he's leaving in the first place (a part of me still can't believe he's actually leaving) so it seems silly to worry about it too much.

The 19-year-old attacking midfielder Danny Whitehead joined West Ham from Stockport for an undisclosed fee.
