2011/2012 Midfielders Rumors Thread

[KevinB]

i really cant understand why Juve is spending much on mercato while we cant. We didnt spend much money the year before on the market, we sold ibra for 40 m euros+Eto'o. We didnt spend much last season, we have spent on Ranocchia and Pazzini in january market and now we cant spend. We need to sell Eto'o or Sneijder of FFP.

Taxes should be solved by italian Goverment, italian football cant compete with Spanish or English sides, even German sides passed us. We need to invest on our stadiums which can bring at least 100-150 m euros a year to clubs, but we are paying for stadium. We are giving high wages.

We are selling our best player, +20 goals scorer, Eto'o won many games alone last season. A game changer. We will lose much in quality, as he is one of the best strikers in the world.

We linked with Casemiro, he costs 20 m euros at least. banega? Gago? is Casemiro really better than Obi? or he is really enough to be a starter?

I think from now on Jube will make a lot of profit as they have their own Stadion now.

I dont know why we dont buy Aqualiani, dude is class and wuld be very cheap, but he is a bit injury prone.. but for 10m it would be great imo.

For 10 m we should have taken Vidal... Much better but No.. We didn't even were interested.
10m for Aquilani, pft Don't know about that. Rather have Banega instead for that price.

i really dont know why we didnt folow them. its clear that its the only way for spending for italian clubs.

But we have Eto'o and Sneider to make money.

As far as i read Milan wants Aquilani on loan. Taking him on loan looks logical. if he doesnt contribute much, let him go to Pool.

 

[Batman]

Either Aquilani or Banega..

 

[rfU]

Muntari is more experienced at the highest level than Gago and still, he's shit.

how so?

simple: mismanagement

I think he's only interested in a permanent. which is logical as he's tired of being bounced around back and forth between england italy.

I could only find an article on him by goal.com and his wiki says his a Inter player now(both of which are not the most credible sites...)

simple: mismanagement

I wouldn't call it mismanagement. Jube made some catastrophal mistakes as well. Especially on their transfers.(Diego, Amauri,Poulsen,Toni,Grosso,.... The list goes on and on. )These are the players they have bought over the last 3-4 years)
They were however clever by buying a stadium at their own. We can't (for now)
Now they have bought very clever (Vucinic,Matri,Vidal,Lichtsteiner,Ziegler,Pazienza,..) While we haven't. Sorry guys but I don't really Alvarez as a direct improvement. Perhaps in the return of the competition when he has experienced Serie A football.
If our management can be done any blame for now it would be selling Eto'o and not getting Tevez,Rossi but getting Forlan, Palacio.

This pretty much sums it up

Their stadium has provided 0 revenue so far, and yet they're still light years ahead of us when it comes to FFP. And that's with all their shitty transfers. We've been much better on the market in recent years (outside of 2008), and yet we're still in a shitty financial place. Now just imagine if they start making decent transfers...

 

[kova9]

3 years ago, I was begging us to sign Luka Modric, while he was still at Dinamo.. We could have gotten him for good price back then, while he was still fairly unknown..

Now, I'm pleading to buy Sammir, also from Dinamo Zagreb.. He is Brasilian, with Croatian passport.. His position is AMC.. He is 24, and could be for sale this summer if real offer arrives.. If not, he is gone in winter 100%.. This guy is ALIEN, and trust me, you will hear about him if you haven't already.. It will be a shame if we miss him, like we did with Modric..

Just remember this guy.. SAMMIR.. You heard it here first..

 

[Pajo]

He wont leave this summer for one of the better teams. He will be cup tied in CL, so...

 

[kova9]

Doesn't matter really.. Badelj is also CL tied, but he will likely leave.. I really hope they keep the team together for CL so I can go to games to see them, but I doubt it..

 

[Suneet]

5m for Diego even though I dont like him is a steal for Atletico. I mean theres nothing to lose.

 

[Concord]

I can't understand the graph posted by "vasilios"!!!
How do they put us next to Manchester City ? Inter did not pay a lot in the last 2 seasons, actually Inter got millions from selling players like Ibra and from getting the Champions league and did not pay that much in players.

Regarding the FFP as I remember from reading it, Building a stadium will not consider as an expenses, because it is a development for the clubs. FFP is most concern about stopping the massive amount of money spent on buying players and also to enforce clubs to focus on the youth development.

 

[achilles]

FFP is not about reducing transfer prices, or wages, although it will have some impact. In truth, all FFP seeks to accomplish is to make sure that owners of clubs don't place massive DEBT BURDENS on the clubs. When the owner gives say $30 million euros to the club to buy Moussa Sissoko, for example, he can either say he 'loaned' the money to the club, or he can say he 'invested' the $30m in the club. UEFA is clamping down on how much owners can 'loan' to the clubs they own. Its all accounting.

Here is the UEFA FFP Regulations for 2010 http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Tech/uefaorg/General/01/50/09/12/1500912_DOWNLOAD.pdf
"Annex X, Section D: Acceptable deviation can exceed EUR 5 million up to the amounts described in
Article 61(2) in a monitoring period only if such excess is entirely covered by
contributions from equity participants and/or related parties."

You can exceed the limit (which is $45m in 2012/2013) if the owner invests in the club. Equity means you have a stake in future profits (if any), whereas debt means you get paid back, according to the terms agreed. Usually interest payments for some years, followed by a large lump sum payment at the end.

Glad to clear that up. It is a very common misconception.

I dont know why we dont buy Aqualiani, dude is class and wuld be very cheap, but he is a bit injury prone.. but for 10m it would be great imo.

i know it's tempting to go for players like that but really our injured players didn't do us a lot of good last season did they. but yea maybe 1 injury prone player wouldn't hurt as long as they have quality like aqualiani

Never heard of him but seems like an interesting player!

I'm surprised we haven't been linked to Kaka lately. We are desperate in midfield and a loan deal never hurts.
