Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[Steve R]

The subject of Vlaar to ManU has been flogged to d discussed at length in the transfer rumours thread. As you are dealing with a speculative transfer topic it is likely that you will be encouraged to take the discussion there. The fact that this has not already happened suggests that the mods are either pissed, in custody or have found a second saxon hoard and are therefore otherwise engaged.

I don't understand your replies?

It's just a question how much would we hold out for do you think? I see that the Mail is saying QPR are eyeing Vlaar, they can have Baker or Clark.

They can track him all they like. Absolutely no chance Concrete Ron is crazy enough to go there.

QPR can fuck off

QPR can fuck off

And it appears they're signing Rio Ferdinand...

[Dave]

Dunne and Ferdinand isn't going to be the paciest defensive partnership that the league has ever seen.

[Tom_Mc9?]

If they get Vlaar I will be most displeased.

"...Jefferson, who began his career at Parana in Brazil- moved to Italy to join Fiorentina in 2008 but failed to make a single appearance for the club.
He spent the majority of his time at the Florence-based side on-loan to lower league Italian clubs such as Frosinone, Cassino, Eupen and eventually Latina, who he signed for permanently in 2012.
Last season, he was brought on from the bench in the majority of his appearances for the Serie B side and only managed four goals in 20 appearances. A record that leaves a lot to be desired."

I'd love us to sign a Brazilian front man, but I was hoping for the next Romario.

Only to be made a little faster by Haangeland reportedly going there too. That would be the deepest back line in history!

or FRED!

How does he still get a game? How on earth with all the talented players Brazil must produce, do they go into a home world cup with Fred and Jo as their striker options? Surely Hulk up top and someone like Kaka on the left would work a million times better!

[eamonn]

Fred is a lazy lump.
