The Summer 2014 TRANSFER THREAD

[northbank123]

Is Wenger planning to sign BOTH Khedira and Carvalho?

He's not so keen on defensive midfielders, although I guess if he is planning on building a squad solely consisting of midfielders then he's going to have to diversify

[SydneyGooner]

O Jogo also stating that a crucial difference is that we're offering to pay the fee in one full payment this time rather than in installments. They believe that will seal it for us because Sporting are desperate for some cash for their own transfer dealings.

The multilingual oracle scouting extraordinaire that is '89 is absolutely spot on.

I have taken a look at O Jogo's William Carvalho to Arsenal story. Will give you a summarize.

Jan Hagen @PortuBall · 43m
Arsenal's previously bid on W.Carvalho was rejected, because AFC wanted to pay in several payments. Now they'll offer €30m at once. [O Jogo]

Jan Hagen @PortuBall · 40m
Arsenal haven't submitted a bid for W.Carvalho, but they prepare a €30m bid and hope to complete negotiations before the weekend. [O Jogo]

Jan Hagen @PortuBall · 33m
Sporting requires a minimum of €30m for William Carvalho, IF they receive the whole fee at once. [O Jogo]

Jan Hagen @PortuBall · 26m
Sporting wants to keep hold of W.Carvalho, but a bid from a top EPL club will make it difficult to keep him, esp. due to salaries. [O Jogo]

Jan Hagen @PortuBall · 21m
O Jogo says it's remains to be seen if Sporting President B.de Carvalho stands firm on his €45m(W.Carvalho's release clause) demand or not.

Man United, who were in front of the race to sign William Carvalho, seems to have lost interest after the departure of David Moyes. [O Jogo]

William Carvalho could be exactly what Arsenal need. Strong, tall, excellent at intercepting the ball, good passer, v. smart.

[SydneyGooner]

Apparently he's only on €2000 a week at Sporting. So wages shouldn't be a problem.

[QuartzGooner]

Benik Afobe has gone on a season long loan to MK Dons.
At the age of 21 I reckon he will have to do really well there to force his way back into Wenger's plans.

Can't see him being happy on 2k a week.....and that is crappy EU money nd all.

u know the more i think about it the more i think Ozil is our Veron.

[topgoon]

slavafc takes a pic of AW in a pub talking to someone in Italian allegedly, tw*tter goes mad about Balotelli signing.

Sad,very sad.

I wish you would give this a rest, it's tiresome.

[officepest]

Any truth in these Carvalho rumours? I haven't even seen him play so I can't comment as to his quality but the price is top-bracket.

He is a scum fan attention seeking, don't bite and he'll get bored.

As far as Carvalho is concerned we won't know if it's true or not till he signs for us or gets a new and improved contract.

If only this forum had more people like you.

[TeeCee]

You can trust O Jogo, biggest newspaper in Portugal and not known for printing bollocks.

Funniest quote this summer!!
Newspapers sell by their headlines and sporting headlines are a huge seller!! You have a lot to learn young 1989!!

[1989]

O Jogo are the equivalent of the Guardian from what I've heard, and very reliable in terms of football news etc.

Oh and I'm not that young really.

[storrmin571]

I'll be disappointed if we don't sign Kedhira.

[1989]

Carvalho is a gooner and idolised Thierry (wears the number 14 shirt because of him):

"Back then, Carvalho played as a No10 and loved Thierry Henry, becoming an Arsenal fan. Over the years, he started going back in midfield and you can see him as a mix between Yaya Touré and the classical Patrick Vieira."

Good man.

Sign him up Wengs.
