Ramirez to Soton is a real coup

Where have Southampton got all this money from? Ramirez and Rodriguez combined is almost £20m!

Isnt this how they got fcked up in the first place?

Even before this signing I could see them staying up.

Didn't their very rich owner die and leave silly amounts of money to the club via a trust?

Song leave Arsenal for Barca in a £15m deal.

Imho that's a steal.

[TBM]

With Nuri Sahin coming in, as they've told him not to join Liverpool as they can offer Champions League football

[soggy biscuit]

I believe that is more than Ronaldo, Messi & Toure. Not sure about Tevez though.

RVP the highest paid player in the normal football world (excludes the freak wages in China & Russia)??

Wasn't Becks supposedly on £500k a week when he signed for LA Galaxy?

He took a big pay cut to go to the US (assume the sponsorship opportunities would more than make up for it)

Beckham earn $3M per year at LA Galaxy which is £36,000 a week

Just heard that Beckham earns £36,000 a day from sponsorship!

I have to admit that I was a bit surprised that he is still only 24 years old. He seems to have been around for a long time already.

I remember him on loan at Charlton the season they were relegated. That feels a lot longer ago than it is though.

Josh McEachran drops down to the Championship for a loan deal with Middlesbrough after failing to make any kind of impact at Swansea last season

[Starfish]

So, maybe we can make our predictions now about which two Arsenal players will leave (contrary to the club's wishes/plans, you know what I mean) next summer.

Szczesny & Cazorla, my early prediction.

Cazorla wont - i feel it will be either Vermaelen or Koscielny

Scott Sinclair to Man City

Stupid transfer for everyone involved really

[soggy biscuit]

Lots of media talk that Man City are close to signing Jovetic from Fiorentina for €30M

Agreed, wouldn't have thought he adds much to the team, nor can he expect to start many games.

Its not about the money, remember that

[cmonurz]

Maybe he does harbour genuine ambitions of forcing his way into the side.

But it does look like a totally different mindset, doesn’t it? Most of us would suffer all sorts for the chance to play a 10 minute cameo for Reading – Sinclair is 23/24, arguably the best player in a team that plays terrific football, but will jump the minute the notes are waved in his face. Perhaps Swansea made it clear they’d go nowhere near City’s valuation of him.

[soggy biscuit]

I wouldn't say he was their best player. Nathan Dyer was their POTS, I thought Sinclair was reasonable but deffo not the star man in their team like he was the season before.

£5M fee for his transfer apparently

Edit - Vorm was the clubs named player of the season, Dyer was the fans player of the season

Another English player for the CL squad?

[Simon's Church]

Quite good business by City though, sell a decent winger for £10m and replace him with another decent winger for £5m.
