Other teams transfer rumours/signings

[Blackcanary]

Hijacking Schürrle from Chelsea would completely ease the pain of missing out on the CL. If anyone in the Premiership could sway him it might just be Holtby. Schürrle definitely seems to be leaving, but what's interesting is what Rudi Völler says.

It says Schurrie & Holtby are mates. Schurrie not keen on Chelsea as he loves his wife but knows when he's training JT isn't. Schurrie reckons if he was on the other side of London JT wouldn't have time to pop round.

In joy at winning the top scorer Stefan Kiessling of Cannon (29), the scene was almost in Hamburg.
Behind the swinging door to the changing rooms of Bayer Leverkusen is sporting director Rudi Voeller (53) stood and striker Andre Schurrle (22) over and talked for several minutes with each other.
Schurrle wants to Chelsea and had broken his week long silence directly after the game: He first spoke openly . the farewell from Leverkusen "I assume that it was my last game for Bayer," said Schurrle and continued: "It was the last two months a brutal time. Always this back and forth but Leverkusen gets everything they want. It was now time, also something to say. "
BAYER SAYS WHAT?
Voeller in any case remained calm. At least on the outside. On the state of negotiations with Chelsea,he says: "We are working on alternatives. And if we get one of the alternatives, we do it. "
As long Schurrle will probably have to wait patiently.
By the way: While the HSV-game spread the rumor that Bayer was at Hamburg Star Heung Min Son turn. After BILD.de information of the business club is not interested.

I assume Voeller means they are looking for replacements (alternatives) and when they have one Schurrle can go to chelsea.

Sports(Barca paper) headline today(don't ask what day as I'm all over the place)
Now prepare the departure of Neymar from Santos
Basically they say the deal os agreed but Santos want to play at home and send him off properly, the earliest possible home fixture July 7th

Also Barca are desperate to sign Thiago Silva but Psg want €40million

negredo is wanted by Atletico Madrid
Higuain is wanted by Juve, who apparently started talks according to tuttosport(italian paper) and apparently they want Jovetic as well.
Also they wanted Tevez but it seems he is going to Monaco

I don't understand this transfer, he isn't better than their first choice pairing and like Bassong, he isn't the type that can come in and perform from time to time, he needs to be a regular.

West Ham have signed Romania captain Razvan Rat on a one-year deal.
Rat, a 31-year-old left back, will join the Hammers when his current contract with Shakhtar Donetsk expires on 1 July.


Remember him playing against us. Seemed decent then.

Also Spammer-related

Liverpool and West Ham have agreed a fee for striker Andy Carroll but the player has yet to decide if he wants to join the London club permanently

Negotiations have taken place in the past week with West Ham now willing to match Liverpool's asking price - the fee is likely to be in the region of £15m

It is understood Newcastle's interest in their former striker has cooled for now, but Carroll has still to make up his mind about whether to make his loan move permanent ahead of World Cup year.

 

[Gbspurs]

For West Ham and for £15m I think he is a good by TBH. Wouldnt want him here but he will do a good job for them.

 

[yojambo]

Few links (paper talk crap) of Liverpool going for Honda.
I would cry if this were true, imo he his one of the few players who has the same ability as Modric,
and if he is available Spurs should be all over it.
