Confirmed Transfers

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I thought the Willian deal fell through?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

step back for Elia, step forward for Kuzmanović? is that a bad thing?

How fucking thick are you? When a "big" club buys a mediocre player from a mediocre club it says something bad about the big club. When a mediocre club buys a flop from a big club, it says nothing about either club as those flops frequently succeed at lower expectations.

wow, chill the f*ck out ... I already gave my opinion about Inter's transfer dealings (besides the Kovačić deal):

the player himself pretty much confirmed the deal is done ... from Inter's perspective, I don't get it ... not only is he not a star for Atalanta, he's not even a regular starter ...

Rocchi.

Inter are generally acting stupid? point taken ...

and it says nothing about Serie A as whole when a club is being stupid, or if a player returns to a league where he had some success ...

EDIT:

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Serie A is obviously on the decline by every measure and this is just one more indication.

 

[Xifio]

sure, why not ...

It's not that weird when a team buys an average player as a back-up.

Bayern - Pizarro
Arsenal - Santos
Man U - Buttner
Chelsea - Marin
Real - Callejon

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Pizarro was free, everyone else is a young prospect except for Santos: Arsenal were in a massive pinch when Clichy forced his way out very close to the deadline.

 

[yoyo913]

Yeah but Pizarro has bigger wages than Kuzmanovic presumably and we don't know how much he was sold for so it could be a similar situation. It's reported undisclosed but this article states its just over €1 because his contract was expiring soon. So overall he could quite well be cheaper than Pizarro. http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2013/01/official-inter-sign-kuzmanovic/

And maybe Inter are in a "pinch" for another midfielder (e.g. Mudingayi, current reserve player getting injured 4 days ago).

 

[Mus]

Inter aren't exactly in a top team situation at the moment either

 

[Coruja]

Looks like Neto went to Zenit...

If it was a nominal fee for a backup role, it's not a bad transfer.

Icardi -> Inter

nice work Morratti ... and I guess Maurito wanted to confirm he's an Argie ...

 

[Mus]

?????? where is this reported?

 

[yoyo913]

Guess he's coming in July?

 

[Haarithan]

?????? where is this reported?

Gazzetta and Corriere dello Sport.

 

[yoyo913]

Icardi -> Inter

nice work Morratti ... and I guess Maurito wanted to confirm he's an Argie ...

It's not confirmed yet, I just read a report that his agent said the move isn't true.

 

[4ndr3i]

He's a good player with great potential. If it's true than Inter has got a great deal for just €15m.

Now let Juventus get Belfodil.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Ismaily (Braga) -> Shakhtar

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Dortmund have no choice and will be confirming the transfer in a matter of minutes or hours. So yeah

Mario Götze (Borussia Dortmund) ------------> Bayern Munich
