"We've momentum and we can't afford to lose it tbh"- The '13-'14 summer transfer window thread for PL and beyond

Was surprised to see Shevchenko at Chelsea stack up not quite so bad

rooney to utd at 30m and wages must stack up close tbf

maybe he plays maybe he doesn't but the important thing is that his kids get to play with maldini and costacurta at milanello

do milan even have a plan past sentiment here, kaka and matri will slow them up enormously

matri isn't a great player but for an italian forward he isn't slow

shit about yarmolenko to milan or liverpool, i thought he had a broken leg

He scored this afternoon.

cor imagine what he can do when he recovers

Kaka was never gonna go anywhere but Milan, was he

They take them all back with open arms

Dynamo were also furious about the refereeing of Viktor Shvetsov, a piece on the club's website stating there were "half-a-dozen questionable decisions" and pointing in particular to the incident that led to Andriy Yarmolenko suffering a broken leg. Shakhtar's Brazilian forward Taison was not shown a red card for the foul but Yarmolenko had no doubt about the intent. "I'm sure Tyson specifically wanted to cause me a personal injury," he said. "In a challenge for the ball, he raised his leg and thrust the studs into my thigh."

his broken leg was later upgraded to "soft tissues injury, bruise and numerous grazes, groin concussion and rectus muscle hurt”

oof

Get up soft lad

James Richardson is saying that Ozil to Arsenal is happening.

Ozil confirmed?

Can't wait to see who they've got lined up to break the record tomorrow

lol - "Falcao gleefully gobbled that up" on BT Sport right now

jesus christ

this would be the most ridiculous transfer in years

Can't wait to see who they've got lined up to break the record tomorrow

Hleb

goal.com are reporting an offer along with twitter herbs like balague (serial ITK tart)

after suarez and higuain it wouldn't exactly be a surprise to see arsenal throw a bid out there but the chance of psg or whoever not exceeding it and ozil choosing arsenal over whoever still seem......less unlikely than they should, but really he can do better than arsenal

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 17m

What Cadena Cope advanced is true: Arsenal and Real Madrid are close to seal a 45m € + 5m € add-ons deal for Ozil!

oh god please

even if that's like the one place in the team I don't think needs much adding to it who cares

Tancredi Palmeri ‏@tancredipalmeri 24m

Beautiful volee from Gilardino. While Inter is actually...playing good...

Se van Ozil.y Kaka. El Madrid negocia contra el reloj x Luis Suárez!!! Casi fichado!!! Casi.

tancredi is hearing those sweet voices again, choirs of seraphim announcing from the beyond

he would credit anything

Sky Sports News understands that Arsenal are in 'advanced talks' with Real Madrid to sign attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil.

The 24-year-old German has been at the Bernabeu since 2010 having moved from Werder Bremen.

And Ozil could be heading to the Emirates Stadium after Gareth Bale left Tottenham for the Spanish capital for a reported world record fee of £85.3m.

Ozil has played more than 100 games for Real who beat off competition from Arsenal and Manchester United to sign their man following the World Cup in South Africa.

But now the Gunners are close to securing the player they wanted three years ago in a deal reportedly worth £42.5m.

How would lfc spend suarez cash in time remaining

this is all shit deems

Im thinking, and yet

there is precedent in that robinho left on the last day after getting alienated by being treated like shit by madrid during the (abortive) attempt to get ronaldo, and ozil is reported as being annoyed ('stormed off' after being subbed vs malaga)

differences....city could pay overblown fee and huge wages, lesser player, less integral to madrid in recent seasons, even with bale/isco/ronaldo there will still be plenty of games for ozil, he wasn't being overtly negged during the bale transfer process

there are about five layers of implausbility to be passed before he ends up at arsenal if madrid do let him go

Modric too tho

I mean idk they could absorb the loss

But yeah arsenal idk the main issue is surely its not where they need 45m spent is it

Ozil to Arsenal is a perfect continuation of Wengers momentum referenced in the title. Would be seriously impressed if they pull it off.

Also, silly, silly Madrid.

Also, wtf at Moyes chasing Fabregas down the rabbit hole all summer when he just could have picked up Ozil

Who's your English team LBI? I thought it was Arsenal but recently it reads like you're a Utd fan?

Ozil to arse makes no sense whatsoever but pleased to have him in the league tbh.

It's always been Arsenal and Utd, which seemed to be possible for a foreigner. But it's been Utd for some years now. The missus family being Utd helped in that respect. And RVP sealed the deal. I have great sympathy for Arsenal, but it's Utd. Even though they are shite atm.

Or something, that's what's so great about it: it doesn't make sense, but it's great nonetheless.

heh, I just checked the 'confirm our biases' thread, you didn't need to out yourself

What thread is that?

the one where you're a gooner

Haha!

England: The Ongoing Utopia that is Arsenal. Team that comes closest to being a Mark Rothko or Barnett Newman painting, in it's effort to become one flowing organism of euphoric and zen-like perfection, yet somehow always manage to end up like a Pollock, or worse, Francis Bacon. In theory the best club ever, but it never materializes. There aim of how to play football unrealistically high given their quality, but I without any sarcasm I praise them for dreaming on and keep trying every year.

And I still stand by every word of that! I just got tired of the tantrism and just wanted an orgasm already ffs
