***Transfer Rumours Thread*** [ALL RUMOUR TOPICS MERGED]

Why? A smile and a handshake after a match and a reported dust up with Mancini? No way could Tottingham match his wages.

He'll stay.

didnt bellers say he would finish at cardiff

[Dameerto]

I'm pretty sure he'll give us one more season (based on tea leaves and my gut)

i have a slightly different view on these Ibra / Drogba runours

It is about the future of Torres who I think wants to leave Liverpool but where would he go?

Assuming that Inter is not a choice, there are only 3 places:

Barca, Chelsea and us.

Problem for Barca - they would need to off-load Ibra both to help fund the Torres bid and to save themselves a Robinho(esque) problem - so without that sale they are a bit stymied on going for Torres

Problem for Chelsea is similar with regards either Drogba or Anelka

So if these 2 clubs do not solve these problems they probably cannot go for Torres and therefore Torres's choices are us or to stay at Liverpool

So - just why would we help either of these 2 clubs out by taking their problems off their hands - probably some truth in the rumours - but only in so much as the selling clubs would like to do the business

The Torres saga will probably drag on well into August - if we do not get him Dzeko would be my 2nd choice - way ahead of either Ibra or Drogba

if mancini wants dzeko AND the other fella surely someone would be going. santa and tevez??? would fucking hope not on the latter.

I hope Bellamy stays for another season, he has really grown on me and I would be really annoyed if we sell him to Spurs especially if it is only for 6m which is less than half of what he paid for him. :(

Allowing Bellamy to leave wouldn't bother me however allowing him to leave to spurs would piss me right off. We shouldn't be strengthening our rivals no matter how big we are getting.

It speaks volumes of our proggresion when it seems any of our cast of will strenghten percieved cast off. Bellamy SWP Ireland Ned and Richards would strengthen any of the sides that finished below us and 10th in the leauge. We cant get hung up on strenghenting other teams. Unless in the case of Milner we are giving them hard over inflated cash to buy 3 or 4 players.

Taking my blue coloured specs of for a seconds, I'd still stay if I was Bellamy. His knee's are shot and he cant last a full season. Who better to be playing for than us right now in that postion. We have a large squad and a large fixture list. We can nurse him through his injuries when it matters and if he remains fully fit for any lenght of time he gets in my team every time.

Bellamy has stated he wants to win trophies, well the ONLY club he will have a chance to do that in the rest of his career is City.
