AlanSkÃrare Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Just looking at Fulham's transfers. Think they had a fairly terrible window on the whole. Losing Dembele and Dempsey sets them back an awful lot. They looked really good before that and were pretty much a good forward away from competing with us IMO.

ponsaelius Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 They've made £15 million or so profit, sold their two best players to a 'local rival' and failed to adequetly replace key quality and experience in midfield. Berbatov signing saves it from being disasterous. They'll still be top half like, with a lot of solid players and a good manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berbatov signing saves it from being disasterous. They'll still be top half like, with a lot of solid players and a good manager. I actually think they have some decent backup in Kacaniklic (who is highly rated in Sweden) and Kerim Frei, who impressed a lot last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Frei looked very good Didn't hold down a regular spot in the starting XI though, hope he can stay free of injuries and get a good run in their side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Swansea's replacement of Neil Taylor has been annoyingly efficient. Ben Davies and Tiendalli into the first-team picture within a fortnight. We still haven't replaced Enrique* The pull of Laudrup as a name is massive IMO. Fucking masterstroke. * - I still see Santon as a RB for us long-term. I hope so, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope Kacaniklic makes it big time, just for lols at Liverpool (who gave him away in order to sign Konchesky) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Dunno about that. They got rid of dead-weight (Johnson, Zamora, Etuhu), brought-in some veterans on the cheap (Petric, Rodallega, Riether, Berbatov), and made some cash (Dembele, Dempsey). And they have a lot of good young talent in Ruiz, Frei, Kacaniklic, Trotta, and Briggs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 They have some exciting individual prospects IMO, but stripped out some of the glue that made them a pretty decent side at times. Danny Murphy one that's often forgotten. Couldn't always last the 90, in recent years, but looked a bit better with him in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Murphy one that's often forgotten. Couldn't always last the 90, in recent years, but looked a bit better with him in the middle. Yeah he was really good last season though I think it was the right point at which to let him go. But losing him along with Dempsey and Dembele makes a massive impact. They have some exciting younger players but i doubt they're ready for this season. Still, i'd trust Jol to take them forward over the next few seasons. As for Berbatov i'm not sure him and Ruiz can be accommodated in the same side especially now Ruiz has been getting more chances centrally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Sidwell and Diarra in central midfield doesn't exactly inspire much confidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Barcelona are trying to reach an agreement to sign 13-year-old Brahim Abdelkader Diaz from Malaga, who is thought of as one of the brightest young talents in Spain. Malaga are hoping to receive €100,000 up front and bonuses totaling around €3million if his development continues and he makes his way through the ranks at Barcelona.

I think you're gonna see a lot more kids being hyped up into similar positions in order to make some money or agents filling a players head full of crap. He's 13 ffs.

Is the transfer window simply irrelevant at this point? Can he actually play? Good for him, anyway. He was released by Kazan, so Levante picked him on a free. Can't play in the EL but he's cleared for La Liga. Levante has built its success by being Home of the Second Chances, so maybe they can work their magic on him too. If he retains his pace it should fit well in Levante's counter style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Where are the Aussies getting this money from? Private owners and sponsors dishing out alot. West Sydney are owned by the league though, so Ballack would be being paid by the league itself. The TV rights deal is currently being negotiated, this is why id imagine they are sanctioning such a deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh where im from in Perth, its rediculously expensive. Majority of the mines are in Western Australia, even a truck driver gets paid $120 000 a year up there. The shit thing is, there are cashed up bogans left right and centre. ie. poor people with money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
