Transfer Rumours 2013/14 - Real World Football - FM24/25 Update

Should Thiago arrive, Martinez could be moved back to the centre-back position, a move Guardiola has made before when playing Javier Mascherano in defence for Barca.
“I know he can also play at centre-back,” Guardiola said. “Bastian can play in defence or in offence. I am delighted to have such a great team. Shaqiri can also play on the left or in the middle or as left back. Mandzukic can also play in defence. He is tall, strong and is good in the air. I have a lot of options.”

I forgot that Guardiola's approach to centre-backs was modeled on Ferguson's to midfielders.

Mandzukic at centre-back just because.

Strootman looks set to join Roma for £17M.

De Rossi to Chelsea/City then?

The Strootman deal isn't done at all yet, although the De Rossi rumours (to Chelsea) do seem to be picking up pace........

Would be very, very happy with Eriksen, not sure how likely it is though. Not confident.

BR has said he's now looking to improve the first 11.

Oh my god, if that's true, why would we buy two more midfielders?

I think Chadli is the more likely to happen. Eriksen is wanted by a few I think

It'd depend on your definition of a midfielder I'd guess.

Molde have bought back Vegard Forren from Southampton, talk about flop:

The defender, 25, only joined Saints from the Norwegian outfit in January for £3.5million, signing a 3½-year deal.

But his stay in England has lasted just six months as he has now been sent packing back to his homeland.

Forren failed to make a SINGLE appearance during his time on the South coast.

Bruma's agent Cátio Baldé has just said he was subject to an attempted kidnapping by the Juve Leo last night, at Sporting's behest. Jesus.

Now Bruma's contract could well be terminated, and he may be able to move clubs without a fee.

I think Spurs do need a midfielder, they've got good physicality there at the moment but they've not really got much creativity there at all.

Holtby is rather creative.

Parker and Livermore are not creative at all. Dembele is, but we don't need another midfielder though, we need strikers.

Sunderland aren't doing too badly.

Fee's agreed for Giaccherini and strongly linked with Matri too.

Plus signings of Cabral, Diakite and Altidore already. Gino Peruzzi imminent.
