SUMMER TRANSFERS - Your thoughts on who did and did not sign

[1989]

And the 3rd keeper when one gets injured?

Damian "Emi" Martinez.

[highburyJD]

Martinez is highly rated but both times I've seen him play he's thrown one in

the new Gilberto!

Gustavo is absolute world class. Solid as a rock. He charges around like a pitbull and he's hard as fucking nails.

He would squash our defensive midfield issues completely.

I like Gustavo and would be pleased if he signed for us but is he a player that has thrived purely from working under top class managers or does he need direction? How will he fare with Chauncy Wenger guiding him?

I don't think management has anything to do with how good a player he is. He was top class at Hoffenheim which is what prompted Bayern to sign him. Hoffenheim are a midtable club.

He's been fantastic ever since he joined Bayern and he was one of Brazil's star players during the Confederations Cup. He shut out a midfield containing Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets in the final with the help of Paulinho.

He was part of Bayern's treble winning squad last season.

He is the best signing we could ever wish to make for the DM position. Only 25 as well.

this will delight some - French lower division signing: "rumour is, one has been snapped up and on his way in. That’s 27 year old French League 2 winger/striker Alharbi El Jadeyaoui who has been on trial with us."

So that's our striker sorted (Sanogo), holding midfielder sorted (Sebastian Perez) and now creative player sorted (El Jadeyaoui).

Just need a trialist defender and we're ready for the season!

Ian Holloway on Chamakh:

“Marouane Chamakh’s just managed to sign,” he said.

“It’s longer than a one-year deal providing we stay up.

“I can actually look at what I’ve definitely got now and work around him and build the team around him.

“He’s a fantastic player who can drift and float and he’s good in the air, so I’ve got to try and build a squad around that now.

“It’s about him getting going again and I normally do alright with people whose careers are faltering a bit. I love them up and work with them, and, hopefully, I can get him back to what he played like when he first went to Arsenal.

“There was nothing wrong with him then when he scored eight in nine. But I wouldn’t fancy being Robin van Persie’s understudy, it can’t have been fun.”


Right, put your life savings on Palace to go straight back down.

What has holloway been smoking

[markyp]

the new Gilberto!

we are more likely to sign the old gilberto

[clockender1]

why would Gustavo want to leave the Treble winners and join us ? - and if he's that much why would Bayern sell him at 25 ?

Poor Old Chamster.
