Higuain is a player who would really bring out my inner transfer muppet. I'd absolutely love him to sign for us.

He said he'd try to verify the first rumour, and that Chelsea have come to a deal with the company that owns 40% of Neymar's rights.

He said that United would offer Owen a contract. He was maintaining De Gea was a cert amidst all the hype about Stekelenberg. I haven't seen him get anything wrong as of yet. For what it's worth he reckons Young to us is practically a done deal and Downing will go to Liverpool, so we'll wait and see.

Same, but won't happen. Real Madrid won't sell him, they're mighty fucking stupid but not that stupid.

Villa-Boas to Chelsea was a stinker. Hiddink is the only one being discussed.

Anyone else reliable on twitter?

Decotron · 1st June 2011, 18:18

Higuain is a super super player. His level of performance in the first year with Madrid was incredible. Probably not for us right now, hope he stays in spain.

What does this mean then?

Atletico Madrid general manager Miguel Angel Gil Marin has said star striker Sergio Aguero will not be heading for arch rivals Real Madrid.

Argentine international Aguero, 22, has openly declared his desire to leave Atletico and hinted his destination could be Spanish capital neighbours Real.

But Atletico are standing firm and insist the player's buy-out clause of €45million (£39m) was the asking place for everyone - apart from Real Madrid.

"He (Aguero) is not going to go to Real Madrid," Gil Marin said in El Larguero.

"I called (Real president) Florentino (Perez) to ask him if we could maintain this commitment to not being hostile and he agreed.
Negotiate

"Either a club, that is not Real Madrid, comes in and puts €45m on the table or he stays at Atletico Madrid. We don't want to negotiate with anyone."

English trio Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool have all been linked with Aguero, but so far Juventus are the only side to officially register their interest.

"Atletico Madrid don't have any offers, only a fax from Juventus saying they want to negotiate," Gil Marin said.

"It is a letter saying they are keen to negotiate, but Atletico don't want to negotiate."

Atletico want an end to the saga within the next fortnight and have set a 15th June deadline to conclude any deal.

"We want a decision before 15th June because it is a decision that has huge implications on our sporting plan," Gil Marin added.

No he didnt. He said there was a rumour about VB and that he'd check it out. He then said its utter bollocks. And re Neymar, he said Chelsea have done a deal with the company who own 40% of his rights and that they now have to negotiate with Santos.

Devil may care · 1st June 2011, 19:38

I'd rather we went for Neymar than Higuain, what are Chelsea going to do with Torres, Drogba, Sturridge, Neymar and Lakaku? it's a bit over the top.

What makes you think they'll get them all and retain the ones they already have on their books?

Skywarden · 1st June 2011, 22:36

That intheknow99 guy claims City are in talks with Sanchez "right as we speak."

He said he wants his move to the PL complete next week, Chelsea have long been the front runners and there was an article the other day that claimed Abramovich had stepped in personally to make sure the deal got done.

Well Torres wont go and the recent reports say Drogba will stay, I mentioned the Lukaku story above and I was going off the Neymar report in here. As for Sturridge, I'd be surprised if they didn't bring him back. Basically the question was a hypotheticfal one based off the stuff posted in this section.

I reckon City are talking with the agent of Sanchez.

Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City have been alerted to the news that Real Madrid may be willing to sell Gonzalo Higuain for just £15m.

The Argentina international scored 13 goals in 25 appearances last season despite four months out with a back injury.

Some actually truth in this story... or just the journos feeding off Twitter speculation too! Me thinks it's the latter

Leg-End · 2nd June 2011, 01:37

The latter because for £15 million our name should be in the story too.

If we do get Higuain we will have to sell Berba. Can't have Rooney, Chicha, Berba, Owen & Higuain in the same squad, with Macheda & Welbeck possibly coming back.

Most certainly not. This is a speculation thread, for twitter tweets. Nothing is to be believed as truth.
