2014 Summer Transfer Window

[SeatownJay]

Latest on Yedlin:

Transfered to Roma for $5 Million. Loaned back to Sounders through 2014 season.

Seems to have more steam behind it than before. More information, more sources.

The announcers for the Man U - Roma match today said that they spoke to the owner of AS Roma, who is American, and the club is expected to announce the signing of a US International player in the next two weeks; they speculated that it will be Yedlin.

He's been saying that for 6 weeks now....

Also, Van Gaal already annoys me. All he's done is bitch an moan about everything this summer, starting in the World Cup and now he's whining about preseason and kickoff times. Suits Ushited to a T, I reckon.

If he annoys you then United for sure picked the right man for the job. It's one of the requirements.

Apparently Remy failed his medical. Fair enough. This should pave the way to bring in someone like Reus. Borini to stay in this case?

Bummer. Really thought he'd be a good signing. Borini may stay. I think we will go for some other targets

Yeah and that's not the first time that he failed a medical. Before he joined Marseille he failed his medical because of his heart condition. Apparently, it doesn't prevent him to play soccer though.

Iam wondering if Liverpool did their homework about it. He had played for Marseille, QPR, and Newcastle without any issues.

Sorry Uncle Si. Reports indicate that Griezman is set to go to Atletico.

Good choice for him and Atleti to be fair.

Arsenal have now added Chambers to their transfer spree. Not sure on the fee as it seems to be either 12m or 16m depending on who you talk to. It'd bring their spending to about 57m which would be 57m more than this time last summer. I've started to use the term "renaissance" to describe Arsenal's summer cause it's almost like the team has completely changed their approach to the transfers this summer. You could probably ask any Arsenal fan right now and we'd tell you that our confidence for the season is growing with each day.

Isnt it just 3 players: Chambers, Debuchy and Sanchez? Havent all of the top teams added atleast that? Doesnt Arsenal typically add 2-3 players per window? I get the optimism behind Sanchez, but is that a "spree"?

United has added 3?, Liverpool like 6, Chelsea 4, I guess City hasnt added anything, but they're league champs.

Anyways, its certainly been a smart window for Arsenal.

Arsenal signed Colombian keeper David Ospina yesterday

There's talk now of Liverpool looking at Jay Rodriguez. I kinda hope that's not true. He's a decent wee player, but if we're gonna buy another attacking player, I'd prefer it be a bigger name. Lacazette is still coming up too, so that's a possibility.

There's now rumor that we're looking into Vermaalen. I think i'd be happy enough with that, actually, would give us plenty of good CB cover.

Really need to concentrate on a left-back though.

Gate, it has been a decent window for Arsenal so far, but I'm just not sure they've done enough to push past 4th place. Sanchez is a really nice addition, but we've yet to see how he handles the Premier League. I personally think Arsenal are still a year or so away from pushing for the title, and if I'm honest, I'm not sure Wenger can get them there anymore.

I Think Tottenham has a step forward concerning Rodriguez:

QPR's complaining about this. They're saying Remy didn't really fail a physical and Liverpool are just saying that to back out of the deal or drive down the price.

That really doesn't make any sense to be honest. Something went down.

I'd like Remy too. Hopefully we can still get him (maybe at less than 5 years if he truly failed the medical)

EDIT: starting to surface now that Remy's contractual requests were far more than initially expected and that is the reason for not finalizing. Noone at Liverpool said anything of a failed medical. QPR just latching on to media rumors. No idea whats going on to be honest. Strange either way

Chance they can get this sorted. I hope so. having him on the team solves alot of issues. Either that or they need to go an get Lacazette (or someone besides Borini).

Ospina is no doubt gonna challenge Szczesny for #1, and I've seen that Szczesny picks up his game when there's a challenge in front of him.

He is way better than Szczesny.

As I said that's not the first time he missed a medical!

Yeah, but Liverpool isnt saying he failed the medical. Journos are...

Suggestions are now there was a contractual (salary) issue between Remy and Liverpool (as in he asked for double the wages).

Who knows. Like him as a player. Heard he was better than Sturridge

Ok. We'll see then. But personally, I don't think Rémy can afford to refuse any contracts from Liverpool. He is 27 and Liverpool represents the chance of his life.
