The Summer Transfers Thread

Right, on Twitter:
Quote:
Arsenal are the fourth team in for Eden Hazard, according to tomorrow's 'The Times'.

32 Mil for the fee, and 130 a week in wages.

Looks like this now, and the decision is set to be made next week.

1. City
2. United
3. Chels
4. Arse

Round and round we go.

And this is a sad note for me.

Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed the Serie A giants are on the brink of signing teenage midfielder Paul Pogba from Manchester United.

The Frenchman's future had been up in the air for months but after lengthy talks he has finally decided against extending his deal at Old Trafford, with his current contract set to expire this summer.

Marotta says discussions are in the advanced stages, with Juve waiting on an answer from the 19-year-old.

"We have lured him away from Manchester United," he told Corriere dello Sport.

"We respected the rules. Pogba, for his own reasons, didn't intend to renew.

"We informed the club and we are now waiting for an answer. Talks are well advanced."

Juventus have also been linked with moves for Manchester City youngster Mario Balotelli and Napoli's Edinson Cavani this summer, but Marotta has played down such reports.

"We have never thought about Balotelli. He doesn't fit the profile we are looking at, a profile which isn't based solely on technical ability," he added.

"Cavani? You always have to consider the wishes of the clubs which own the players."

Newcastle signed a midfielder from promoted French team Reims. Apparently Danny Guthrie is signing for Villa and he is expected to replace him

At training for 'Little Devils' (Belgium) Hazard said: "It will be #MUFC, #MCFC or #CFC. Final choice depends on playing time + position..."

Saw today that Hazard stated that he will play for Man U, Chelsea or Man City. However, I read that he stated it will depend on "playing time." Man City may not be the place for the young man if that is the case.

Other than the original note, I have not heard anything more about the possible Chiellini to Man City rumor.

I actually havent heard much on the City front. Only Dzeko is probably leaving, because he simply is not good enough.

According to Dzeko's agent, he isn't leaving. There was some talk of Juventus and a German side (Wolfsburg, I believe), but, apparently he wants to stay.

Of course he wants to stay. I dont blame him, nobody else will give him the wages he is on now. I think he wants to stay, but I also think City will want to get rid of him. But we will see.

Ok, tell me where he stands in their squad of strikers? Ill wait.......

Wolfsburg is where he came from, but they've really struggled. Don't know if they could offer an amount to make it worth City's while

Yea he's down the pecking order at City but he's more than good enough to play for a top team and when City needed him most he delivered but you're well aware of that

I think CJ's interpretation was that you were stating that Dzeko was not that good overall, instead of interpreting that he was not better than the other strikers.

Youre being too nice. CJ is a moron.
