IIRC we were linked to Drmic 1 or 2 summers ago?

Last season.

Gignac has joined Mexican side Tigres.

Surprising one that. He's a current french international and still 29. You'd expect him to have offers in Europe.

I love the way that Gunner89 updates the thread title with the most uninteresting transfers each day. 😆

The summary above by marv on the same page if you had read it will give you an idea about how many interesting transfers have happened

Maybe the "interesting" stuff is a figment of your imagination

Didn't mean anything by it mate, I enjoy the updates. 

No offence taken mate 🙂

$$$. The Mexican sides have loads of cash to spunk.

Joao Miranda close to Inter for 15m euros. To add to Marv, Mandzukic to Juve for around 18m euros.

Ouch. Simon Kjaer has just signed for Turkish club Fenerbahce and in his first media interview, published by Haber Turk newspaper, he claimed that he had the opportunity to sign for Liverpool but turned the Merseyside club down.
Haber Turk quote the Danish defender as saying "Liverpool wanted me, but I want championships, I want to win trophies. Fenerbahce's goals this season are big, and it was explained to me very well."

Can this be true ? 😆 Players like Simon Kjaer are now turning down Liverpool... 😆

😆

How the mighty have fallen.

which one, Liverpool or Kjaer?  lol...

Kjaer is a strange one..  he looked so phenominal when he was at Palermo and then strangely went to Wolfsburg and seemed to stagnate (even regress) and no one has really heard that much about him since, even though he plays regularly..  i remember wanting us to go after him back in 09/10... 

Franck Tabanou has become Swansea’s second signing of the summer after penning a three-year deal at the Liberty.

honestly if swansea is signing him he probably is.

It means he is a adequate player to achieve a top 10 finish with. Fair enough - Swansea and Southampton have very decent scouting networks in place. They invest in decent players and utilize them properly on the field. Big fan of that personally.

Tabanou was highly rated few years ago at Toulouse, fell off the map a bit. Swansea's and Southampton's scouts aren't even that good but what you'd expect at that level with that kind of money involved, most of the league just falls well short compared to other leagues.

Flopped massively in Germany but has been one of the CB's in France since he went to Lille tbf.
