troy8 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Bit early but I thought I'd get the ball rolling, throw in any done deals around Europe which deserve talking about. So far only the one transfer in England, with Antolin Alcaraz heading to Wigan from Club Brugge, but the bigger one around Europe - David Villa to Barcelona! Confirmed: http://www.fcbarcelona.com/web/english/noticies/destacades/n100519111099.html I wonder what this means for Zlatan.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopaulo Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 i reckon he will go..too inconsistent and perhaps the most frustrating player on the planet..can be the best when he feels like it but worse than stuart barlow when he cant be arsed..henry to go to? what with pedro and bojan seeing more and more of the games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I've never rated Ibrahimovic, I've always thought he was turd tbh, and couldn't understand why they gave Eto and money for him. Terrible first touch, awful shot on him, can't head for shit, no pace . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible first touch, awful shot on him, can't head for shit, no pace . Didn't see him play all that much this year, but remember him playing quite well at Arsenal in the CL. Scored both goals IIRC. Quick note on Alcaraz : safe to say Wigan just got worse. If that's the quality of players they'll be signing, I think it's a pretty safe bet they'll be relegated. Best way of knowing you just made a bad signing? If all the fans of the team he came from are happy he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's never the best in fairness on Zlatan, only ever rated him at Ajaz, after then he played when he wanted to, got way too big for his boots (i was gonna say nose, but that really is a stonker of a honker) and actually isn't as amazing as people make out. As Mark said, the deal with Eto was rediculous, give me Eto at Everton any day...!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Foster is another I've never seen what all the fuss is about. Whenever I've watched him play he looks awful tbh. Reminds me of Paul Robinson - makes his saves look a lot better than they actually are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kohen Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) But on loan from Man City, probably looking at a bigger club than Brum now? I'm not sure, I rate him highly, would have him as England's #1 easily. I like Ibrahimovic Maybe that's because he's Swedish (Well, kinda) Edited May 20, 2010 by Kohen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Foster is another I've never seen what all the fuss is about. Whenever I've watched him play he looks awful tbh. Reminds me of Paul Robinson - makes his saves look a lot better than they actually are. To be fair to Foster, he has hardly had a run of games. He could be a decent keeper for brum, especially for the 6mill they paid. Ibra - on Champ Man 99/00 was one of the players i always bought from the Swedish U-21 team, had a brilliant 1st season then had 'personal problems' and i had to sell him. Remarkable how accurate the game was. He's not had a decent season this year, but think he should improve next year, I hope for Barca's sake...

Matt Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Thought this was a topic for Completed Transfers, this should be in Rumourama. True, but as the price quoted was £26,087million (£26,087,000,000), only a fool would resist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Another unproven player in this league, just what they need! True dude. However i predict Chamakh to do well, i think he's got what it takes to produce in the Prem and with the way Arsenal play, i expect him to score a fair few. Not prolific at Bordeaux but scored important goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holystove Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Always liked Zigic in that he's always a threat when the ball is dropped in the box. Weird to see him go to an average club like Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
