Football Transfers Thread

The fact that Swansea are in Europe alone makes them more attractive to a player than West Brom. Not to mention he was a nailed-on starter at Swansea.

West Brom finished above them in the league and are historically a large club.

I'd say Swansea are a better a team, but to say a team that finished 3 points above another is far inferior is silly.

But I guess people will get everything out of proportion as west brom aren't fashionable with the media because they don't win the passing that much.

Passing is kind of important in football...

Either way, I reckon if you were to put Swansea up against WBA, they'd win most of the time. I stand by what I said - Sinclair has ended up at an inferior club because he got greedy. He must have known he wouldn't get much playing time - we all did.

yeh swansea are in a better position, but i don't think there is massive amount between the two sides. I'd say swansea will finish above them, but not by enough to justify "far inferior" that's doing a disservice to west brom.

You have completely missed my point.

nah. Makes sense to go for someone experienced, you already have nastasic who is younger (although more experienced) than Boyata, don't want too much youth in central defence really.

Odd, given he's just joined Atletico.

I remember watching a Sinclair interview shortly after his move.

He said he was fully aware his chances would be limited.

Surely he didn't think they'd be that limited though, eh?

In other news, Ozil to Old Trafford sounds like it might well happen. Moyes is acting like a bit of a prat over the Felliani/Baines situation though.

No, not from the Mirror - from Paper Round, who reckon that 'the deal would make sense for both sides'.

Also from Paper Round:

Ronaldo wants United return: Daniel Taylor writes in the Observer this morning that Cristiano Ronaldo has informed Manchester United that he does want to come back to Old Trafford ? though not this summer. United have received indications from their former hero that he wants to end his career with them, and as such a move next summer is being contemplated by the United hierarchy.

Paper Round?s view: Taylor is one of the most respected scribes out there ? especially on the subjects of United and Ronaldo ? and this will be a well sourced report. From Ronaldo?s perspective, it?s handy to keep his options open and he may well want to come back to England. We will have to wait and watch to see what happens.

I've always thought Ronaldo would come home at some point - next year makes sense. Won't happen this year though.

A Mata-Rooney swap could materialise I think. Great for both clubs.

Was referring to that Mata to Arsenal crazy rumour from Anish, not the Ozil to United one. Ozil to United does make sense in reality.
