Jeremy Toulalan: Lyon to Malaga (10m euros)
solid defensive mid. always thought hed be great in that role at Arsenal behind Cesc. Malaga now with a financial backing are looking like a very tidy side with Duda, Van Nistelrooy, Demichelis and most recently the dutchman Joris Mathijsen. Very interested to see how theyll do this season..
Demba Ba: West Ham to Newcastle (free)
Bojan Krkic: Barcelona to AS Roma (£10.5m)
Gabriele Heinze: Marseilles to AS Roma (free)
two very intriguing moves. The Bojan one has been mooted for several months now because of the arrival to Roma as manager, Jose Enrique, who managed Barcelona B, who has guided Bojan through much of his stagnated career at the Camp Nou for the last two years. Heinzes move to Italy is surprising as he a very physical player. with Riise moving to Fulham, the Bosman move is still a very good bit of business for the italians...
Ashley Young: Aston Villa to Man Utd (£18m)
now take a look at this picture. It doesnt look right. In fact the more I think about Ashley move, the more i think it ill fits. United have Nani, Valencia, Giggs and Park who can play in wing roles so Im not exactly sure where he fits. Right wing obviously, perhaps behind Rooney, but there is going to be an awful lot of expectation on his shoulders. And I could be wrong, but I dont think its goin to go that well.. Time will tell...
Joaquin: Valencia to Malaga (4m euros)
and the Andulusian revolution continues....
David de Gea: Atletico to Man Utd
Connor Wickham: Ipswich Town to Sunderland (£9m)
Dimitri Payet: St. Etienne to Lille
prolific goalscoring replacement for Gervinho
Gael Clichy: Arsenal to Man City:
Well what to say about this. Im personally sad to see him go as he has served us well. Lately however his form has been poor and for my money is is one of the poorest crossers in the top flight, in spite of his electric pace. Add that to the fact he cant defend, particularly because of his poor choices when under pressure then really he is not that big a loss. Manchester City have a plethora of full backs and I cant see clichy playing first choice left back all the time, with Richards, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Bridge and Boyata competing.
Good luck Gael, and may you cost Citeh 10 pts this season.....
Fabio Coentrao: Benfica to Real Madrid (30m euros, with Garay going the other way)
Madrid's financial clout seems not to be subsiding with Mourinho adding pacy Portuguese left back Fabio Coentrao to his purchases of Sahin and Altintop. You have to say, certainly on paper, that Madrid look very tasty and seem to be strong in all areas, except now perhaps the goalkeeper, in Casillas who towards the end of the last season wasnt having a great deal of fun...can they now challenge Barcelona....?
Alexis Sanchez: Udinese to Barcelona: (£35m)
this would appear to be Barcelona's riposte, (aside from Cesc negotiations). Sanchez has been on my radar for about 4 years now/ He is a very quick, skillful right winger who has been quietly plying his trade in Serie A, since moving from Cobreloa in his homeland of Chile in 2006. He is frequently the foil for Antonio Di Natale in his crosses before. I would imagine his arrival at Barca would signal his swapping of roles with Leo Messi, with the diminuitive Argentine pushing further infield, but equally, Sanchez has pace to burn and will be extremely mobile. Barcelona's attack is now, if possible even more scintillating....
Roger Johnson: Birmingham to Wolves: (7m)
excellent defender will get goals..
Gokhan Inler: Udinese to Napoli: (13m euros)
one I admit I have missed. Tough swiss midfielder, frequently linked to Arsenal. Napoli's midfield now consists of Hamsik, Inler, Gargano and Maggio. Aswell as Lavezzi and Cavani further up. Napoli in my view will be a serious threat to Inter's aspirations of a third successive Scudetto.
Joan Capdevila: Villarreal to Benfica: (free)
Arturo Vidal: Bayer Leverkusen to Juventus (11.25m euros)
