Summer transfer thread, AvB window wrap up pg 1527

Here's what he tweeted a few hours ago. Seemed to be part of Ajax's pre season.

Wow...for such a famed club, Ajax really didn't put much money into their training ground, it seems.

 

[Mr Bob Dobalina]

Could make a video like that for every keeper in every league. I want to see at least the last 3 seasons of every goal conceded, show how prone he is to mistakes, how often he gives away penaltys etc...

Damn straight. This is what the form should be for YT compilations. Each incredible reflex save/perfectly curled right-top-corner toe-punt brought crashing down to reality with a scuffed six-inch sitter or hilarious watch-through-the-fingers rush-goalie atrocity exhibition.

So we can compare and contrast for the sake of balance, obviously.

Nope - they don't do it like THFC. Remember this classic of Tainio??

 

[NaijaSpurs]

Yeah but I mean he was never really tested, was he up against Milner and Kuyt in those games? Maybe Adam Johnson? I agree he looked very solid, I just recall him not having a great deal to do.

I remember against Liverpool (2010/2011 season) he looked the best player on the pitch

As an FYI... Oscar isn't rumour. It's further than press say. And Madrid have given us a list of players in a cash plus player deal with mod -- akqayid (@akqayid)

Jordi, what's your Twitter name? not sure if I'm following you or not

I don't tweet, just use it as a news feed.

i believe it's @ballsdeepinanus

 

[Armchair Expert]

Keepers like Shay Given would probably be better and fudge loads cheaper. Foreign keepers are waffty, stick to British methinks.. Or yanks, they are good with hand games

yeah. we're renowned for producing an endless stream of top quality keepers aren't we?!

 

[indianspur]

just read on Spurs community that Verts agent said that the deal will be completed today...

and it seems its Spurs who have paid the bonus fee that Ajax were supposed to pay Vert.

ooohhh possible conflict of interest if we meet PSG in next season CL????

 

[Jordinho]

The 25% figure isn't correct though.

Having an interest in another football club has been defined as meaning the following:

-The majority of the shareholders’ voting rights in another club in the same UEFA club competition

-The right to appoint or remove a majority of the directors in another club in the same UEFA club competition

-The majority of the shareholders’ voting rights (through a shareholders’ agreement) in another club in the same UEFA club competition

true yid and a very nice guy! players like that don't come around too often

 

[vkn17]

If you read the actual article, it says the deal is 35m euro + Sahin ("35 milijuna eura" and "Nurijem Sahinom"):

If you read the actual article it says nothing like that.

Oscar Confirms Tottenham Interest

The Internacional playmaker has been named in the Selecao's Olympic squad and is a highly regarded talent in his home country.

However, the 20-year-old has revealed his intention to stay at Internacional for now, after speaking to his representative.

He told iG: "Tottenham contacted my agent, but now I'm focusing on Inter. I don't know what might happen, I'm not thinking of it right now.

"Inter has an important project to win Brasileirao, everybody's focused on that. I want to return to the team and keep playing.

"Not only Tottenham [asked about me], but I'm not sure if there was an official offer. Offers always come for me, [Leandro] Damiao and whoever is showing up."

Striker Damiao has also rejected rumours linking him to Tottenham as he plans to stay at the club until 2014.

The striker added: "I am thinking only of Internacional, I don't think I'm leaving, I've received no offers.

"If it's up to me, I'll stay until 2014."
