Summer transfer thread, AvB window wrap up pg 1527

Which player would you like to see take over from Luka Modric?

The Catalan Daily Sport - Modric will leave for the Spanish capital straight after Croatia's friendly with Switzerland today to finalise details of his transfer.

Whatever.
 
Who says they weren't? Juventus are a big club, not inconceivable that a player would choose to go there certainly ahead of us.

That being said Twitter is the worst source for genuine info I've ever seen.....

could also be even more factors

-warmer climate
-domestic title challangers
 
the scum paid an initial 12.5 mill for Cazorla, 10 mill for Podolski, and 12.5 mill for Giroud.....thats 35 mill in total and shows that there are decent deals out there to be had

if only Real would stump up the cash for Modric and we can get our show on the road[-o<
 
They all play in different positions

As I understand it.

From what I can tell of MVilla/Capoue they would be in competition with Sandro/Parker more than anyone in our squad.

Dembele/Moutinho/Sahin would be much more in the Modric replacement role.

My point being, if we get a Modric replacement we dont need any of the others.

If we dont it may be that we are looking at a change of system in which case those players might be relevant.

Lots of people though Chamakh, Gervinho and Arshavin would be good signings as well
 
We don't need M'Vila or Capoue full stop.

who knows whats in AVB's mind. Maybe he has had to change targets because of finance problems, unable to afford his original preferences. Thus, our style will depend on who we can bring in

The closest like-for-like replacement out of that list would be Moutinho. Who also appears to be the most expensive one.

Right, here you go- short and simple:

Luka- Deal agreed with Real. As I have mentioned in earlier threads and seemingly highlighted by the media this morning he was promised by Daniel that if Real came in he could go, we have agreed the deal with Madrid now- we move on- as does Luka. We have tried to get Sahin in return, the player wants to play for a CL club- to be continued on him.

Blue- He is holding this deal up, and him only. He is paid an incredible amount of money at City and obviously will be earning substatially less at us. Agreement is in place with both clubs, the player is holding the deal up in regards to wages, and obviously loss of earnings for losing the City Contract.

Yellow- His club are changing the terms every day on money- negotiations are taking place between the two clubs, the player wants to come, but Inter are changing valuations and add ons as they know we desperately want the player. Work in progress.

Porto- Asking big money for both Moutinho and Hulk. Hence why DL has been trying to get maximum money for Luka. Trying for Moutinho but they want 30m.

Dark Blue- Transfer fee the issue, not with the player.

Those are the facts. Form your own opinions as to who is to blame etc etc. Work is going on behind the scenes to get deals done, obviously we wanted to get things done earlier than we have or are going to, but its not just about one window- it impacts us for future windows, we do not want to be known as a club that get backed into a corner and just spends because we panicked. Negotiation is an art, like playing poker. Deals will happen.
