2013 Summer Transfer Window Thread
by Dr Gregory House MD on Mon May 27, 2013 1:46 am
Now that the season has drawn to a close, I thought I'd put up a thread to discuss possible transfer business.

Rumours, Predictions, Hopes and Actualities all welcome here

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Whatever happened to Luke Chambers?  I won the PL with him and Howedes at CB on FIFA

Unfortunately he got taken in at Ipswich and thus will never be seen playing well again

[The Special Juan]

Ah that's a shame. He was a great servant for my Leeds team and deserves better than scrapping for Championship survival.

[mystiroakey]

better than being at leeds i suppose

Not really transfer related but it is being reported that former Birmingham striker Christian 'Chucho' Benitez has died aged 27, apparently due to respiratory complications.

[GSC]

Car crash in Qatar wasnt it?

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Reports are really Poopie, its reported to be either a heart attack or a respiratory problem. My googling is not helping me find much and I'm bored of looking

Christian Benitez, who played for Birmingham City in 2009-2010, dies in a car accident, aged 27

Shame regarding that sudden death of Benitez in a car crash. RIP

[NickisBHAFC]

Ill get a thread up for that, very upsetting news indeed. 

Apparently Bale wants to leave Tottenham.

[NickisBHAFC]

Derby sign Adam Smith on loan from Tottenham - Good player, like the look of him, good signing for Derby.

Walsall sign James McQuilkin from Hereford - Sounded like a good talent in the Confrence last season, interesting to see if he can make the step up.

Scunthorpe Sign Sam Winnall from Wolves - Another good signing for them, that's why there my pick for promotion in that league.

Today's footy league transfers

If he wants to leave, why doesn't he hand in a transfer request and get the ball rolling and end the speculation? I accept Bale wants to leave but to Madrid.....I don't think so. He's not the type, still very young and has a family and child to think about. Reading Michael Owen's views on moving to a new country is an insight into what he will have to endure. I think Bale is waiting for Manchester United to make a move. Clear Nani out of the way first of all though.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Derby sign Adam Smith on loan from Tottenham - Good player, like the look of him, good signing for Derby.

That's a decent attempt at replacing Brayford. Nice loan signing

[The Special Juan]

I wish footballers would stop having kids aged 17-early 20s. I think it impacts their career quite heavily. Plenty of time to have kids after they've retired/hit 30. Do many of the German/Italian/Spanish youngsters have kids?

[NickisBHAFC]

Agree Juan.

No because the German, Italian and Spanish Players are not idiots. Unlike A LOT of the young English players, mainly looking at Raheem Stirling.

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Brilliant, I go to write heart attack or car crash and write heart attack or respiratory problems, so it was either heart or heart according to my mong typing  

Yeah, Frak these athletes having a life of their own to live. Football first then the happiness of their own lives later

[Ent]

Managers prefer their players to settle down and have a few kids and occupy themselves with family life.

Anyone seriously think single famous millionaires would be maintaining good form or have less problems if they got married/had kids in their 30s?

[The Special Juan]

I didn't realise you could have a love of your life at 17. I must have let that one slip by me!!

I'm not moaning about how people spend their lives - it's none of my business and it doesn't bother me - but I reckon many players never reached their full potential because they were bogged down by kids in their teens. It's much better than being part of a gang though!!

[Crimey]

If the alleged offer of £51 million + Di Maria + Coentrao for Bale was true, and Tottenham did reject it, they are crazy. I'd say that's worth more than £80 million, Di Maria's worth at least £20 million and then Coentrao £15 million. That would also give a new winger and new left back, two areas Tottenham need as well as a healthy amount of money to bring in one or two quality players.

And that's without even spending the £50 million where they apparently might target Pastore, which would be a very good signing.
