If AC Milan get Jackson Martinez and Inter get Cuadrado its going to be a very interesting season in Italy and the quality of the league and level of competition will definetly be higher.

That Shaqiri-Icardi-Cuadrado frontline is gonna be really interesting.

Mancini doesn't play Shaqiri in the front. Shame on you of all people for not remembering Guarin.

Is Palacio's contract up? I think he could still do a job at Inter. He scored a few this year.

The Martinez to Milan bit is because Galliani was at Porto to talk about Brahimi and Martinez happens to be there and sort of available. All signs point to Valencia, in my opinion.

This, even with the Bee money, which is probably not even real, it's just out of the question.

Little Danny Ings is going to pull on that red shirt and break all the Suarez goalscoring records. If you squint a bit it'll be like having Owen back, only without him being a massive oval office.

Wengy had done big money transfers before, just not for a longttime. Ozil and Alexis aren't that different from Overmars and Bergkamp. Martinez is kind of expensive and is pushing 30. Plus I don't think Wenger has ever signed a player from the Portuguese league.

Giroud is a good player but Arsenal's best chance to close the gap between themselves and the top sides of Europe is to make Giroud a squad player with someone better supplanting him as a starter. Martinez turns 29 in October, he should be in near-peak form until 32 at least. Wenger doesn't make these types of signings often but I don't recall him having a side this strong bar (lone) striker recently either. It'd be similar to the RVP signing except Martinez doesn't have the injury problems/mental fraility.

edit: Debuchy was signed last summer a few weeks short of age 29 for £12m to play RB, a much less important position

:lol: Wenger didn't buy Bergkamp and Overmars barely played in his final season at Ajax. We got both for relatively cheap, all things considered.

I'll bet Ings has seen more than 5 movies and hasn't sued any contractors into suicide, so he's also got that going for him.

Problem with Carroll is that he's gotten really good at things other than being a wrecking machine. If he was the player that we bought him at 2 years ago, West Ham would probably sell him to get some money back. However, in the two months he was fit this season, he was a wrecking ball who could also score skillful goals and actually had pace and skill. I'm genuinely not sure if I want him to stay at West Ham or not.

Also, West Ham are looking to announce a signing tomorrow. It looks like we've beaten AC Milan to sign Obiang. If it's for the reported £4.5 million that's an absolute steal:

Khedira was/is better than Kroos and James but RM didn't just pay 1 Trillion Pesos for him so he rotted on the bench while Bitch Carrick and Beta Twink pranced around the pitch. Khedira and Alonso were two of RM's most influential players and they've let both of them walk away. Crazy poo poo.

Khedira is a big game player and offers something different to the Juve midfield. There's a reason he kept Kroos out of the Germany side in 2010 and 2012 and it was only injury that afforded that rear end in a top hat sustained match-time. Juventus just picked RM's pocket.

Khedira's utter poo poo. He won't start a single major match for Juventus unless someone is injured and if he does he'll cost them points mark my words.

Imagine letting Khedira leave on a free and keeping Illaramendi in your first team squad, incredible.

James and CR7 are perfect for one another because they can score loads of pointless goals and then torque rods with each other post-match staring at their own faces.

Khedira was never particularly good for Real Madrid. And when he played this season, he was beyond awful. Last year, the team only started playing well last season when Khedira got injured and off the starting 11.

Dinho's manager in Mexico has apparently sidelined him and his agent is looking at MLS.

I'd love to see him wreck literally every player in America at 35 years old. He could drag whatever garbage team from the middle of nowhere to a title singlehandedly.

He's supposedly told his mates that he's played his last season here, and was hanging out with Joe Ledley in Cardiff the other night. Pardew's got his sights set on his missus for sure.
