Transfers

[the goal machine 7,806]

Scott Sinclair, Micah Richards & Jack Rodwell all surplus to requirements at Man City.

Gareth Barry & Joleon Lescott told their contracts won't be renewed too.

Surely they need to keep a portion of their homegrown players? Unless they sign others to replace them.

[The Godfather 72,077]

Rodwell was one of the strangest transfers I can remember.

With Pantilimon going Id imagine they'll try and sign a keeper who's 'homegrown'.

Interesting to see who else they'll sign, how many will they need if they all leave?

They still have Richard Wright on their books!

[Scott1872 862]

That Willy at Malaga is who City are signing for number two.

[Scott1872 862]

Why the fuck do City want Sagna, Zabaleta is outstanding.

[Scott1872 862]

Everton should get Sinclair and Rodwell.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Everton should go for as many of those players leaving City as they can afford.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,946]

I wouldn't be surprised if Rodgers went in for Sinclair.

With Europe next year they are going to need a bigger,more equipped squad, he's a player he knows really well and he's just turned 25 too.

[G.E.C. 18,851]

I can see Big Sam going for Lescott and Ferdinand.

[Creampuff 22,628]

If Wenger legitimately has £100m to spend, he'd be smart to invest it in another £50m superstar, and a few £10-15m players to litter around the squad.

His real issue is depth, rather than lack of talent. With that money spent wisely Arsenal could be a force next season.

[Creampuff 22,628]

Surely this has to be the year Chelsea move Courtois in ahead of Cech?

I still rate Cech, but Courtois has been the best keeper in Spain for the last two seasons, and the best keeper in the world this season. They'd be trading up their ageing keeper for a better, younger model, and wouldn't even have to pay a penny to do it.

The same has been said for the past 4 or 5 years....

Wenger has hinted that he believes the answer to their problems could already be at the club

[The Godfather 72,077]

Chelsea face a big problem with the Atletico keeper.

They have 2 world class keepers on their books and Cech even at 31 still has 4 or 5 years at the very top in him..so given what he has done for Chelsea it would seem very harsh to ditch him when he's still in top form.

However Cortious is only going to improve and has more than a decade at the top in him and you really wouldn't want to pass up on the potential best keeper in Europe.

Mourinho I think is a guy who is loyal to his players just like Essien when he took him to Madrid, I can't see him telling Cech to move aside.

Tough call but if it was my choice I'd go with Cortious.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,946]

Keepers now tend to only peak once they hit their 30's now so Cech potentially has a decade left in him too.

Cech is an experienced dressing room leader and is so consistent that he's almost overlooked as being one of the world best when he is.

It's a tough call to make, but if it was me I'd probably sell Courtoious for megabucks and stick with Cech.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,946]

I think Barry would be a smart signing for Arsenal too.

This season has shown that they need more experience & strength in depth within the squad and Barry would offer that over the course of a season.

Barry on a free and Vela to come back for 4 million or whatever it is would be two great signings to kick the Summer off.

[BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293]

Milner and Barry linked with Arsenal this morning , GRAB THE BOTH OF THEM ARSENE

[WilliamFyfe 1,438]

Everton. Liverpool and Arsenal should be sniffing about at the forgotten Englishman leaving City this summer.

As for Chelsea with that young GK it's a tough one indeed the kid needs to play as a number one. No point having him #2 at Chelsea.

They can always loan him back out again but Cech could last until he's 40 odd.

[Clemdog 39,389]

If Cortious did stay at Chelsea Arsenal should buy Cech. Probably get him for around £10 million. Would bring so much to the squad.

[the goal machine 7,806]

I'd rather have Courtois than Cech. He's just a better keeper IMO.

I doubt Courtois is going to want another loan spell

[Tommy WATP 86]

I think Arsenal need a more mobile striker with a better work rate than Giroud. He is a good player but disappears too often for me.

Hard to think of any players that would suit their style just now, any ideas?

[Clemdog 39,389]

Giroud isn't very popular with Arsenal fans.

They should go for Benzema, Bony, Williams, Cech and Shaqiri.

Sell loads of deadwood.
