Re: Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III
From BBC Sportsday Live: Want big football transfer news? Here you go.... Turkish club Fenerbahce say they have begun talks with Dutch forward Robin van Persie and his club Manchester United over the 31-year-old's transfer. That to be suggests that negotiations are at a very early stage, in contrast...

Re: Newbies: Introduce yourself here!
I never really bothered with Redcafe. Tried the official United forum back in the day (long before I ever discovered Rant, and probably before it even existed), and it was cringe-worthy, people are so determined on there that an opinion is only valid if it's optimistic to the point of blind naivety.

Re: Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III
BBC are reporting the Darmian story too, apparently gonna cost about €20m. They seem to be suggesting it's been agreed.

Wilson? Where's he going?Alfonso Bedoya wrote:Yeah, Rooney's reaching that age where you're not surprised to see him picking up hamstring, calf problems... losing Van Persie, Chico, and Wilson, and not bringing in another striker would be criminally negligent...

Re: Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III
I'm not convinced we're gonna bring in anyone up front, not unless some high-profile player makes themselves very publicly available. As it is, I reckon we'll have Rooney as the main lone striker up front, Chicharito as backup, and Wilson for the cup games. Rooney's captain, so there's no way he's g...

Re: Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III
Shows how much of a slow transfer window it's been so far when all there is to talk about is whether Sid hates this country or not!

Re: Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III
I'm with Sid on this. None of the elite will come to the UK whilst in their prime. We'll either have them in the PL when they're still learning or once they're over the hill. I don't think it's anything to do with money. I think quality of life, location etc is more of a factor. Living in Madrid, B...

Re: Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III
I've been back and forth in my head over this Ramos speculation since it began, and yes, it does seem like an excessive amount of money for a player of his age, but maybe that's just the way the transfer market has gone now. Bear in mind that Real Madrid themselves paid around £45million for Zinedin...
