Seriously, stop posting crap tweets from dubious twitter accounts. There's a thread in the General for this nonsense.

Agree, I like checking this thread as it has interesting posts now and again but It's full of either giddiness or ridicule of irrelevant itk accounts. Should atleast stick to twitter accounts of people in the press or associated with the game
 
in all fairness, the thread is titled "RANDOM transfer/twitter thread", I don't know what you expect, especialy during this time of the year. (not that I like getting my hopes up for nothing or just cringe at the ridiculousness of a post at times, just saying)
 
Yeah, Top, however unfortunate its existence may be to non-spastics such as ourselves, this does seem to be the correct thread for random twitter transfer bollocks.

Thread title changed. You're welcome.
 
Excellent top, but now we need a new home for newspaper reports and stuff otherwise they'll be lost in the caf forever without somewhere to post them.
 
MD claiming Barcelona are preparing/negotiating for the transfer of David Luiz after deeming Thiago Silva's transfer untenable

Defence is where Barcelona need to strengthen more than anywhere else imo and its slightly odd that you've been linked with questionable defenders with mistakes in them like Luiz and Vermaelen.

They want defenders who are good with the ball on their feet. Kompany/Silva are out of reach. There aren't too many others around with those skills and the ability to defend.

Evans and Vertonghen for me are better PL ball playing CBs than Luiz and Vermaelen - not that they're available mind. I doubt Luiz is either though since he was being lauded as Chelsea's future captain just a few weeks ago? I reckon Arsenal would cash in on Vermaelen though, their defence improved massively once he was removed from it.
 
L'Equipe report that Saint-Etienne's Kurt Zouma has accepted a 5-year contract with Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala.

Would be a strange move by him to go to Russia at this young age.

Barcelona B player Luis Alberto (20), who played at Barcelona B on loan from Sevilla, is about to agree to join Liverpool. [@guillembalague]
Attacking midfielder as well as forward.
 
Signing number 3 bitches!!! ;)

Sorry, getting carried away. I'm sure he'll turn out shit like Aspa, Assaidi, Borini, etc. But gotta enjoy the Boom while its ON. :)

Evans is a better ball player than David Luiz? Well this is a United forum I suppose.
 
I don't really see why Chelsea would have any reason to sell Luiz. It seems like people assume if Barca wants a player then the selling club will always cower in fear.

Probably because Mourinho will want solid defenders at centre back and there's a good chance they'll get decent money for him.

Already reported he's prepared to sell Luiz and Torres if the right money comes in amongst the news he'd agreed his Chelsea contract here - http://sulia.com/channel/soccer/f/ccec6b50-508d-4aab-b360-bbc9df54c171/?source=twitter&repost=480

He's not a better ball player but he is a more reliable defender than Luiz though he doesn't have the upside of Luiz.
 
I don't understand how these "agrees a deal with x but haven't spoken to current club yet" stories work.

Isn't that precisely what 'tapping-up' entails?

Well they agree with the agent, technically they have not talked to the player.
 
If Madrid were to get Suarez and Bale they'd have 3 of the top 4 players with the highest shots per game in Europe, that would be fun!
 
Twatter is saying that Tony Hibbert could be on his way to United.

Does Ballague still have much insight into what goes on at Liverpool any longer? Or anywhere for that matter

Would suck if true, Barcelona had until the end of May to use their buy option on the player. Started out really out of rhythm with the B side but became one of the most important players in the side, extremely versatile & skilled forward
