[Big Sam]

[BunniesMan]

Mark my words, we're getting Rooney. All the reports are his wages are no problem. We have the funds to pay him in the vicinity of 10 million a year for 5 years.

If United is willing to sell, we're getting him.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

He wont come to us, if he does it change my opinion of him massively, he could easily go to PSG for 300k a week, or Madrid.

In other news Lewandowski to Bayern is apparently done, Source Wenger.

Seriously what are Dortmund doing, first Gotze now your best Striker?, might aswell give them Hummels .

Seriously if any betting company offers more than $2 next season for bayern, they are stupid.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Uh oh. Lewandowski agent just confirmed the bad news. Somebody get RKO a tampon :lol:

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Guess your hard of reading, it was confirmed on sunday, hence the post.

Why would i need a tampon, arsenal wasnt after him, we already have Giroud to miss chance after chance.

Have fun trying to get. Gomez,Mandzukic,Lewandowski,Gotze,Kroos,Robben,Ribery,Muller,Shaqiri all in the same team, let alone Suarez if he leaves liverpool.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Yeah, Wenger or Lewandowski agent. Not sure which is more credible :lol: even so it was "confirmed" months ago.

That's Pep's job in case you haven't noticed I'm not the manager :lol:

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Something hes not very good at. But we will wait and see.

 

[whall15]

Olivier Giroud :lol:

Chelsea are set to make Marco van Ginkel the first signing of Jose Mourinho's second spell at Stamford Bridge.

A deal has already been put in place to bring the Netherlands Under-21s international, one of the finest emerging talents in Dutch football, from Vitesse this summer to strengthen the Blues' midfield.

Van Ginkel was central to Vitesse's success in finishing fourth in the Eredivisie and qualifying for next season's Europa League.

A powerful, box-to-box midfielder, the €10m-rated youngster - whose contract expires in 2015 - is seen as an individual capable of holding down an influential role in Mourinho's team.

Van Ginkel scored eight times in 33 league appearances during a season in which he earned a first call-up to Louis van Gaal's national squad for last November's friendly against Germany. He was also prominent in the Oranje's progress to this summer's Under-21s European Championship, where they have been drawn against Germany, Spain and Russia.

Though Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord have all closely monitored the 20-year-old's development since his debut in 2010 and Benfica have attempted to recruit him for next season, Chelsea's close relationship with Vitesse enabled them to secure the player's transfer.

Roman Abramovich has helped bankroll the club's success by loaning them a number of his Chelsea youth signings. French forward Gael Kakuta plus defenders Patrick van Aanholt and Tomas Kalas spent last season at Vitesse, whose chairman is the Georgian businessman Merab Jordania.

After agreeing to terminate his contract at Real Madrid, Mourinho settled the terms of a new four-year contract at Chelsea, which is to begin in June.

He has been granted control over the restructuring of the Stamford Bridge squad and has begun working on further reinforcements in central defence, midfield and centre forward.

Another nice bit of forward thinking

van Ginkel could potentially take over the box-to-box role that Lampard has filled to such great effect, although they are obviously massive shoes to fill

 

[Twizzle]

meanwhile he'll sit on the bench for a couple of years, assuming it happens

do you believe everything you read on goal.com ?

 

[Jimbo]

No Twizz

As I've said before, if it hasn't been released by the club, it hasn't happened

That's why I posted it in the rumours thread...

What a shame. He's gonna be missing from the UCL for at least a year, if not two. Not satisfactory for a player of his calibre.

Yep, it seems like a bit of a waste

How much cash do you need?

You're the capitalist Jimmy.

They'll be in Ligue 1.

Even so, I can't really see how the difference between what he'll get at Monaco and what he might get elsewhere would affect his quality of life all that much
