All New Summer 2008 Transfer Merry Go Round/Rumour Mill

from the BBC:
Zenit St Petersburg have told Chelsea and Barcelona they want £20m for Andrei Arshavin, not the £12m the two clubs have offered. (Daily Express)

Chelsea are set to sell defender Branislav Ivanovic to Juventus. (Daily Mirror)

Hopefuly we'll tell them where to shove it and :confused: at the Ivanovic story...
 
Exactly, he had a run out in the reserves at the end of last season but that's it, maybe he's just surplus now we've got Bosingwa and if it's true it probably means Carvalho and Ferriera are staying.
 
Harry Kewell -> Galatasaray (Free)

Woooo

Grégory Coupet (Olympique Lyonnais) -> Atletico Madrid (€1.5M)
Holmar Orn Eyjolfsson (HK Kopavagur)-> West Ham
Andreas Dossena (Udinese) -> Liverpool (6.5M) (announced ages ago but 100% official)
Giovanni (Manchester City) -> Hull (Free)
Florent Sinama-Pongolle (Recreativo) -> Atletico Madrid

So we can sell him in a couple of seasons rather than him leave on a free. We gave Carson a new 6year deal 2 seasons back and we're going to sell him.

I wish we had somebody at Arsenal with the same money sense as this.

How many players have we let go for nothing who we at least could have got something for aka they've gone on to play fairly well for another few seasons...Flamini (I predict), Van Bronck, Jeffers (?), Wiltord, one of the guys who went to Brum etc. etc.
 
Glad Kewell's gone at last. He's been a leech from day one and never looked interested in making a go of it a Liverpool. Good riddance you Aussie **** :mad:

Not so happy to see the back of Crouch. He's been a fantastic servant to Liverpool but £10 million's a great price for someone nearing the end of his contract.
 
Good business by Liverpool on both deals tbh, Kewell was a waste of space and Liverpool should have known what a mercenary he was

Getting 10 mil for Crouch is another fine piece of business
 
good to see a lot of deadwood being offloaded this year like.

Pongolle, le tallec, Riise, Kewell so far. Get some money for crouch and carson and thats good, then we just need to sell Finnan really. Oh and Voronin needs to go....
Im not fussed about the Alonso/Barry situation.. if we sell Alonso for £3m less than Barry costs us then im fine, otherwise I dont really think its worth bothering.
 
Do you know how much the Pongolle transfer was?

MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid have signed French striker Florent Sinama Pongolle on a four-year deal from Recreativo Huelva, the Primera Liga club said on Wednesday.


Atletico said on their website (www.clubatleticodemadrid.com) that the striker would be presented at the Calderon next Monday but they did not disclose the fee.

Huh?

We were on the verge of selling Flaimin to Brum, when he decided to stay. He was offered a contract in December to stay.

We got Money back from Jeffers, I believe we did for Gio too (It was a loan deal for a season). We got money for both players going to Brum recently (Larsson and Muamba) Most Arsenal youth players who are sold are normally sold on with a sell on, so when Bentley moves we could see 10-25% sell on.

The same people at Arsenal with no Money sense who sold Anelka for £22.5m profit, Overmars for Profit, maybe Ade for another stupid profit......

No money sense them men at Arsenal.....
