West Ham agree £2m fee for Alou Diarra.

[BillyBoy11 63]

They got their player. If they agree to enter into the buy-back clause they knew there was a chance the selling club could take the player back.

Exactly, so a loan deal more or less. Its great for the selling club, just not for the buying club imo.

Hate spanish and italian teams transfer dealings, so confusing

Valencia will be happy with what they get out of it and, in the end, Canales doesn't have to move back to Real if fees are agreed.

€35m De Rossi bid from Manchester City. Roma considering it at that price.

Thank god. Maybe Gareth Barry will fuck off and take his average playing style to an average country and play in an average team.

Even if the don't accept that bid, they'll cave in at a little more.

Man Utd no longer have the pulling power they once had.

What a random statement.

[The Godfather 71,899]

It’s down to money that Lucas has rejected them while losing out to Hazard I’m not so sure as his agent claimed Chelsea’s project excited him more than United and he had a better chance to play in his position.

If they lose out on RVP then that’s 3 major transfer targets lost, but the money is a factor.

PSG can outbid and outspend everyone it seems with City, the 2 Spanish teams and Chelsea not far behind.

[Goianegra 4,682]

I thought PSG were the only team to have a bid accepted?

Arsenal about to sign Roberto Rosales from fc twente

Liverpool have informed Swansea they are ready to pay the £15million fee to trigger the release clause in Joe Allen’s contract.

He's a good player but not a player who's going to win you titles

This.

Barry is one of the most over-rated players i've seen.

Still can't believe City signed him.

I'll put my money on Liverpool for the title then?

[The Godfather 71,899]

£15 million for Allen

Liverpool are mugs.

[jdocherty72 215]

£15m for Allen is ridiculous.

[rfcfraserrfc 262]

What a random statement.

Not really considering they have lost 2 players, potentially 3, to other clubs.

[rfcfraserrfc 262]

If Man City get De Rossi, I really fancy them for the title.

Could be the final piece in the Jigsaw to make them really pull away from the rest.

[King_gazza 1,065]

£15 million for Allen

Liverpool are mugs.

Liverpool's signings have been bizzare over the past 3/4 years.

Kyrigakos (sp) ex Ranger

Adam

Henderson

Bellamy

Carroll

List goes on.

[BillyBoy11 63]

Did you see the Bojan transfer to Roma last summer? Roma paid €12M for him, but after two years, Barcelona are obliged to buy him back for €13m. However, Roma can buy out this clause by paying Barcelona a further €30M

That would irritate me. I think De Rossi would smash the EPL though.

Yes! That's what was in my mind when I was posting this, absolutley ridiculous. All this co-ownership pish aswell

[derek1872 548]

That has absoloutly nothing to do with the pull Manchester United have. It is financially driven. Moura, RVP and Hazard all stated they wanted to play for Man U, RVP in particular. So clearly the pull is there.

What isn't is the finances. Man U lost out on Hazard because Chelsea offered him a lot more money, the lost out on Moura because they weren't willing to go to 45 million euros which is fair enough, paying that is stupid. I don't think they will lose out RVP unless Arsenal decide they wont sell him to them.

You cant say they have lost their pull. If they had the money some of these other clubs had I doubt their would be a player SAF couldnt sign.

Thats my point, they dont have the pulling power because other clubs have more money.

you could say the same for Barca, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Arsenal to name but a few.
