Summer transfer thread, AvB window wrap up pg 1527

Seriously, who actually gives a damn?

It's just a bit embarrassing that he's called Leandro across the world, yet people here are erroneously trying to Anglicise it. It's a bit like watching people write about the Chinese leader Chairman Zedong.

So why do media outlets like ESPN mention him as Damiao in headlines?

This is what happens when we can't even squabble over dubious ITK.

....and yet he has L.DAMIAO on his shirt? :lol:

SSN - Steven Pienaar deal agreed with Everton

I'm sure the Brazilian Embassy will be lodging a formal complaint about it.

It has been Leandro when he has played for Brazil (it definitely was when he made his debut against Scotland). IIRC Inter don't have names on the back, it's a sponsor instead. I didn't watch the U23 match the other day.

Nah, wrong again :ross:

 

[Rossi22]

They didn't wear names on their shirts against Scotland.

Lets end this now. GB was wrong. Goodbye Pienaar.

 

[paxtonwolf]

If we have sold Pienaar for more than £3m by my reckoning we will have actually made money in this window so far

 

[Bullet]

Gutterboy - perhaps next time you could be less aggressively certain in your assertions, to avoid such a ruckus of wrongness

Sen no figures yet but I'd guess it's around £4.5m.

It's his trademark

 

[WhoopWhoop]

It's his trademark

his trademark is getting things wrong after aggresively saying otherwise then not acknowledging he was wrong and not apologising after shooting people down. Will be back in few hours time telliing us how moutinho is really a full back or some other garbage

 

[AdamB]

Seriously, who actually gives a damn?

Agree. This argument about whether he would or should be called Leandro or Damiao comes up every couple weeks and is utterly pointless and boring. Its not as if we're going to sign him anyway

 

[NaijaSpurs]

Is Gaston Ramirez a right or left winger?

 

[Rossi22]

Left I think, well he's left footed anyway.

 

[Jordinho]

Owen Hargreaves is training with QPR. Apparently they've also made a bid for Adebayor.

This isn't 100% but Sturridge could be a goer...

 

[Jordinho]

AS: Yesterday, Arsenal and Real Madrid spent the whole day negotiating for Şahin but no agreement was reached. After not reaching an agreement with Arsenal regarding Şahin, the player traveled with the rest to the USA.

Finally Pienaar put his money in his own pocket and paid the difference. Shows how much he wanted to go there. Bye Steve.
