The generic transfer thread

[Barry the bird boggler]

He's expected to be loaned back to a PL team until the MLS season starts...

Nicky Shorey to Portsmouth

How many established players have dropped from the Premier League to League 2 the season after?

Jermaine Defoe agrees transfer to Toronto FC

Bizarre decision.

Not really......he'll be playing every game and getting paid shit loads of money

Not to mention we're managed by his old buddy Ryan Nelsen.

Glad I locked in my season ticket for this season! We also signed Bradley from Roma as well.

We might actually be good now.

There must be something we don't know though....attitude, injury etc. He's not a Championship player else he would be going somewhere higher than League Two

Reports I just read said Rotherham were the only other club in for him.

While it is a 2 div drop he could easily see it as much less as he may believe from seeing things day to day that Yeovil are deffo goners and Maybe Scunny have sold him a great plan of signing some top players and having money to invest and he sees them as very likely to go up. Could be in division in 5 months whether he stays or goes

Probably just newspaper rubbish but Le Parisien say that Hazard will join PSG at the end of the season. They claim he told this to a team mate who subsequently told them. Other french sport media have run stories before saying he doesn't like living in England and has struggled to learn the language.

Wouldn't put it past him, considering the way he pimped himself to the Premier League before signing for Chelsea

Shame if Hazard does move, he's one of the best player's to watch in the PL.

Can't believe he'd prefer to play in the French League, although PSG are big news these days.

He'll go where the money is best

Jelovic fee agreed by Hull and they want Long. They've done some amazing business this season. They're the example we should be following.

According to the Daily Fail, Ravel Morrison is going to Fulham in a swap deal for Darren Bent. Even though Darren Bent is a Villa player.

Nemanja Matic rejoining Chelsea for £22M, after leaving them for £4M 2 years ago.

"The game against FC Porto was my last game for Benfica.

"I want to improve, I want to play in a better league and I want to go to Chelsea, a club I also love."

"I want to thank everyone at the club and all the fans. Benfica will forever be in my heart.

"I played here for two-and-a-half years, gave my best at every training session, and now it is the right moment to leave.

"I want to improve, I want to play in a better league and I want to go to Chelsea, a club I also love.

"I would also like to thank Benfica's president, he did everything he could to keep me, but I wanted to leave
