Transfer Thread, Pt. II!

[MetroChile]

I figured we would start a new thread. :)

[Bonizzoni]

As it seems, OM has everything ok with LB Charley Fomen (Cameroon). He'll probably sub Taiwo,who'll move to an English club.

Today was said that Mevlut Erding can move to OM (8 million Euros).

[prvev]

Nah, I don't think Fomen is really an immediate replacement, more long term. We've been linked with a few other left backs, including Monzon from Boca/Betis.

I read about Cisse to Tottenham Hotspur. Not sure how interested exactly they are because they seem to be always be linked with tons of players but if they do really want him I dont think he would turn them down at this point. He's not getting an offer from a "Big 4" club and Tottenham is about as good as he could get in England at this point and I doubt he'd choose Greece over them.

[prvev]

So, Trezeguet may be interested. That's...interesting. No idea on how much he'd cost, or anything.

[SportBoy333]

At 31-32 he shouldnt cost too much. Lyon are still interested in him probably.

[prvev]

Yea, but I think having Deschamps would probably put us over the top, at least as far as French teams.

[SportBoy333]

Dreyfus ready to open up the check book ?

I'll believe it when I see it.:)

A Marseille supporter's wettest dream right here:

http://www.setanta.com/us/Articles/Football/2009/05/14/Prem-Paganelli-on-Drogba-and-Trezeguet/gnid-52924/

Seriously both Drogba and Trezegoal!!!! If this happens I might move to Marseille :cool:

[prvev]

Yea, it's quite unlikely to happen, but it would be very cool. I'd take just one of them, though.

[SportBoy333]

I think signing a CB is the top priority. Brandao will have a huge year next season. A player to compliment him is important but they need a CB because what they have isnt good enough.

[prvev]

I don't know, Civelli's been sort of ridiculously good at times. I mean, I'm not sure if it will keep up, but...we should at least resign the guy.

Although if Luisao is a legitimate possibility, I'd be pretty happy with that.

[SportBoy333]

Civelli isnt good enough. He's a backup. Also Im not convinced Bonnart/Mears at LB is good enough to make a deep run in Europe. I think Taiwo is the only guy in the back 4 who's position doesnt need to be upgraded. Thats why its important to keep him because thats one position you dont have to worry about and the rest of the backline isnt as solid. Givet, I read is gone so thats one 1 less guy at CB you have and its really too bad Dechamps wont have the oppertunity to get the best out of him. I'm not a big Hilton fan. Ideally, a Givet-Rodriguez pairing would be the best way to go but it never worked out like it did at Monaco.

[MetroChile]

I think in general, Civelli could be considered a tad above "average". He, however, has been massive the last few games.

[prvev]

Yea, like I said, I'd definitely resign him, but I think we can do that while still signing another centerback. I don't think Renato necessarily needs to start every game (or even the majority of the games) to be happy.

[SportBoy333]

Valbuena could leave

http://news.maxifoot.com/info-096851_90517/football.php

I think he's waiting to see if he's in Dechamp's plans or not.

[Droitaubut15]

Hmmm...I know it has taken awhile to get over the end of the season but I'd expect some more activity here.

Gudjohnson has been linked as a possible transfer as have Cameronesi Tiago , Lucho Gonzalez and Timothy atouba...

Any thoughts? Do we want any of them?

[SportBoy333]

There's way too many rumors to keep track off. Lucho Gonzalez, I would want the most out of the ones you mentioned. Cameronesi, could be useful for a season but its not worth it. Gudjohnson might do well in L1 I think. Plasil is the guy I dont want. He was ok at Monaco but I dont know how much hes improved since he left there. The team can score so defense must be first. A CB and RB and a defensive mid to replace MBami should be the top priorites. Valbunena can go but Cana must stay. Dump Zenden and sign a cheaper replacement, who I dont know yet.

[MetroChile]

Lucho Gonzalez would be a nice addition but I would think now he's probably headed to Spain/Italy. Atouba would be good only if Taiwo left and regarding Plasil: he has improved tremendously since his move to Spain. Tiago is pretty much done and so is Camoranesi: keep those 2 away (though if I had to pick one of the two, I would choose Tiago).

[corolla]

Yeah, Lucho would be a great pick up. What happened to Trezeguet? Is that still a possibility? I wouldn't mind Gudjohnsenn or Tiago and think they would both do well in Ligue1.

CaMORONesi- NO.
