The Summer 2014 TRANSFER THREAD

[northbank123]

Vermaelen off to Barca whores.

Good luck to him.

I bet when he returns to a man marking team he will be outstanding again. He was/is way better at that than either Per or Kos.

at least he's not going to United with Vertonghen.

Yeah if they signed those two and added Axel Witsel to play alongside Fellaini they'd have the most over-rated team since, erm, Belgium.

Topgoon realises you are obviously n a knock the Arsenal mood today but let's not re-write history. TV5 was loved b y one and all because he made the odd interception that was eye catching and rampaged forward to get us goals but his positioning was suspect a lot of the time and he usually made last ditch tackles because of this poor positioning.

Our set piece defending is down to AW but we are keeping hold of our better 2 defenders and letting go one who's form has been declining. Prefer he stayed as back up but won't cry over it. He's not exactly Maldini.

Wait til 1989 is on next he's our resident foreign newspaper expert.

[Leyton Gooner]

The headline and most of the piece seem to be more about Bayern anyway with just a couple of paragraphs containing the words 'Arsenal' and 'Wenger'

The chatter of Bayern Munich boss Rummenigge club over a transfer of Marco Reus are probably only a disruptive action. In any case, an English club should be in the race for Dortmund players forward.
Even among geologists is controversial how long it takes as an ice age. The opinions range as 30 to 2.5 million years ago. The Ice Age between Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern Munich holds quite a while. And Germany's football superpowers suddenly do everything to ensure that it stays that way. Since Wednesday, he is interrupted, the cozies, the players of both clubs (Grosskreutz! Schweinsteiger!) Had taken after the World Cup victory.

Without Not the CEO of Germany's most talked about details of the current contract of Marco Reus. "It is known that the player with Borussia Dortmund and an exit clause that, should be as rumors, at 25 million euros," Rummenigge said the "Sport Bild", as if this is a normal timetable .
On the BVB-makers, however, this statement had to have acted as a fantastic effort. Anyway burst CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke the collar. "Borussia Dortmund registered with a certain annoyance that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge expressed through the media currently in the three-day cycle to internal BVB affairs," Watzke said in a statement on the BVB website. "We are sure that for every football fans is obvious what the intention behind such statements."
Of course, the football fans sounds as equal to the well-known allegation in the ear that Bayern always seek to weaken their rival by poaching of key players targeted. Robert Lewandowski came this summer free transfer to the Isar. Mario Götze already last year when Bayern also served an exit clause and the BVB tore the greatest talent for decades. At first glance, seems therefore to repeat the proven Bavarian hunting patterns in the case of Marco Reus.
So far had been so always rumored that Reus' exit clause lies at 35 million euros. Despite this total number of top clubs from across Europe had expressed their interest in the 25-year-olds. Including Arsenal and Manchester United. No giants, in which the attacking midfielder has recently not been traded.
Rummenigge favorite topic
In this not very easy for the club and its players situation Rummenigge announced a few days before to speak. ". I think it hard for Borussia Dortmund, out to buy the clause for Reus The player has high demand among top European clubs, regardless of Bayern," he said of the "Welt am Sonntag". Inside was all Dortmund Dilemma: BVB is far from able to compete with the big clubs of the business despite its many successes. In contrast to Bavaria. With its small, poisoned Statement Rummenigge had the upstarts from the Ruhr polar aligned again.
"Karl-Heinz Rummenigge takes its conduct tacitly accepted that the already tense relationship between Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern München is further damaged," countered Watzke. Sports director Michael Zorc was even more explicit: ". Unfortunately this has a completely new quality It would be nice if Karl-Heinz Rummenigge times could simply shut up", the former international told the "kicker". Here, the Bayern board decided to have a stop transfer of Dortmund players before spring. If the U-turn? And: How likely is the rumored interest in Reus at all?
Does the FC Bayern at all interested in Marco Reus?
Rummenigge's invectives speak only limited for a transfer-attack. Not show it rather how deep the sting of defeat when giants still sitting and that they make a joke of it, to stir up unrest in the enemy? The fact that the former Gladbach nearly three years ago moved to BVB and not to Bayern, as many had expected at the time, hurts those responsible until today. Dortmund won the tug of war. The deal was made possible by the way just because Reus took an exit clause that allowed him to exchange for 17.1 million euros. The principle of "Wegkaufens" So also is the BVB not unknown. However, the Dortmunder endeavor mostly about bringing such matters secretly, silently across the stage. For Bayern it places less emphasis on such sentiments in doubt.
There is much evidence that the continued taunts and indiscretions should stir up from the south just before the season started when competitors unrest in the north. Variant one: Had the Bayern but really interested in Reus-commitment that they would probably proceed silent - after all, they are also masters in the threading of transfers. Version two: make it as Lewandowski - in time produce unrest so as not not to kick off the big surprise and the big outcry later.
BVB can hardly keep his star on duration
The Dortmundern dawns it either way, that her star will be maintainable over time hardly. Too large are the financial resources of other clubs to size the temptations that would bring a change with it. In many foreign clubs he could earn twice. After "world" information an English club should be in the race for Reus front: Arsenal London. Arsene Wenger has long been a supporter of the Left foot. He wants to get the Dortmunder necessarily to London.
Watzke and Zorc, howeve several times that it planned to Reus long term. "He's a key player, a super footballer and a role model. Course we make every attempt to keep him long at Borussia Dortmund," Zorc said. What should he say? They offer him for a change in the exit clause in a significant increase in its estimated four million euro salary. Reus' consultant Dirk Hebel announced recently, however, we have in terms of contract negotiations no need. Also Reus even gave a rather half-hearted commitment to his employer. He was "really happy" to play for the BVB, he said the "kicker".
The Arsenal would have the money for a transfer
The "Gunners" had the money, but also they should have listened carefully at Rummenigge tip. Given the financial fair play, it is namely not just insignificant, if the transfer fee is now 25 or 35 million euros. The difference also could be in an exorbitant salary stuck for potential recruits. And from certain sums even the most loyal BVB employees are weak, even if they are born as Reus to Dortmund. Finally, "Real Love", is the slogan of Dortmund, not for sale.
Ex-BVB striker Lewandowski knows the noise of the clubs too well: "I think we need this rivalry." A week before the Supercup match between the two glaciation has certainly increased dramatically.

I assume everyone on here would rather accept £5m less for tv5 from barca, than to sell him to manure ?
