Transfer Rumours 2014/15

"The potential loan deal that would take Manchester City's Alvaro Negredo to Valencia is particularly attractive because the La Liga club have agreed an obligation - as opposed to an option - to complete a deal worth £23.7m at the end of the season.

"A cluster of clubs, including Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle United have enquired about a loan deal for Matija Nastasic. Juventus and Marseille have also taken an interest."

Wonder how long FFP will allow the 2 year loan loophole, its blatantly a way around the rules surely?

Why didn't Madrid just get Falcao? Instead of Hernandez from United...who in turn get Falcao?

Thought him going to Madrid was pretty much nailed on not long ago.

Not really, it just means you end up paying for the player a year or two later. Most of these deals have obligations to buy at the end of the loan.

It's just clubs looking short-term and forgetting about the future. In a couple years they'll be fucked as it just delays the payment rather than ignoring it.

A positive is that Hayley McQueen is FIT

I wonder how Man Utd are planning to get Falcao, RVP, Rooney, Mata and Di Maria into the same lineup.

---------------Falcao-RVP--------------
-------------------Rooney-----------------
-------------Di Maria--Mata-------------
Shaw---------------------------Valencia
--------Rojo-Blind-Cleverley------------
-----------------Cleverley-------------------

?

Who would get dropped though?

Don't Stoke have surplus of strikers? Do they still need Cameron Jerome?

Welbeck's agent on talksport saying he wants a permanent move away. Probably explains why we moved for Falcao as well, would have been down to senior strikers regardless of RVPs injury status.
