New summer transfer thread

Alves can defend when he's there, but most of the time he's in the opposition's penalty area trying to score :p He's miles better than anything Chelsea have right now though.

Exactly :) RB has been a huge weak spot for us last season. I don't trust Ferraira when he is on the ball. Geremi has gone now as isn't really a right back, and I much prefer Diarra when he is playing in midfield. Bouhlarouz isn't a right back, nor is he technically a defender seeing as he couldn't defend against a team of blind retarded monkeys.

Johnson has looked decent pre-season and thank God Boulahrouz has gone, hopefully Sevilla will take him permanently, but if he has a season like last year we'll struggle to give him away.
 
He can defend, just not in the general manner we are accustomed to. If players are of a higher calibre than him he is not afraid to get dirty, fouling and attempting to kick them out the game.

An excellent example is everytime he comes up against Ronaldo. He gets away with murder.
 
More people hate Ronaldo than Cole so who cares :p

Anyway it looks as if we're getting that Lens keeper, Itandje (not sure whether its permenant or on loan) and Carson will join Villa on loan (some reports saying they will be paying £2.5m + his wages for the season).

The Itandje deal has to be completed by thursday so that he will be eligble to play in the CL qualifiers, if its not then Rafa has said that Carson must wait untill after the qualifiers.

Is Tevez registered yet? it all went quiet yesterday!!

Also, where was Saha Pre Season? There was a rumour he was injured but i thought he Rebuked that early summer...

Saha according to Ferguson should be back at the end of August, Tevez is still not a registered player with us so will likely miss the Reading game on Sunday, but they expect him to a fully registered Man Utd player for the Man City game (3rd game) but maybe even before that to face Portsmouth.

Is it likely that he'll play for another couple of weeks? He's hardling trained let alone have any pre-season matches so surely he's not fit yet.

Well he's been training with us for the last week, so definitely not match fit but his sharpness will be coming back to him. Hopefully when he's registered within the next week, he'll be on the bench for a few games before making starting appearances.

What's wrong with Gilberto? Does Wenger just want a change?

Starting?!?

He did that last season!! He actually has made some good comments so far, and he is a great player, he was just injured virtually all of last season!

The captain should have been Gilberto or Toure.

I thought he was going to be.

You could tell when he changed his tone from his website and comments (eg: his poll was something like "What will you remember this season for? Being brilliant in defence, awesome leadership at the back, etc.." and then criticising the entire team and saying everyone wants to leave) to then saying how everyone is joining together and there's a great spirit in the team.

Gilberto must be pretty shocked really.. thought he was a good captain, upping his game with the band on.

If Gilberto hadn't had the band so much that it would be unfair to remove it from him, I'd prefer Toure.

After all, Toure > Gallas.


I don't see how you can be captain after 1 season, while Toure is pretty much the epitomy of loyalty to a club.

Frustrating.

edit:
reading the article:
“[The captain] will be William Gallas,” he said. “There will also be two vice-captains, Kolo Toure and Gilberto.

“I feel centre back is always the best position to lead on the pitch and it is Gallas who has more experience at the back. But Gilberto has always been a great captain and Kolo Toure has a stature too.

“Aswell I made a decision that I want all those experienced players, along with Jens Lehmann, to be involved off the pitch. Players like Jens and Gilberto can play the role of a club captain. They can have a very strong impact mentally on the team. I want them to take on that responsibility.”

To me it seems as though Gilberto/ toure will be doing captain things, while the band has gone to Gallas to appease him.
 
Thats odd i thought it'd be Gilberto as captain with Gallas as vice captain.

On the upside i've just bagged a ticket for the Utd - City game at Eastlands :D Would love it if Tevez had his debut
