Rappy Veteran Posted July 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 17, 2009 Barcelona have reportedly concluded the transfer of Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Inter.According to Sport, Joan Laporta, Txiki Begiristain and Raul Sanllehi met with Massimo Moratti late on Thursday and an agreement was reached around midnight. The transfer will see the Blaugrana part with ?40 million plus Samuel Eto?o and Aliaksandr Hleb, with the Belarussian joining the Nerazzurri on a loan spell. The Barcelona-based daily believes that Inter had initially informed the Blaugrana that Ibrahimovic was keen on moving to the Camp Nou, at which point the Catalan club contacted Eto?o, who immediately gave the part-exchange deal the green light. And when Barca?s own negotiations with Valencia for David Villa all but collapsed, Laporta promptly contacted Moratti to arrange an emergency meeting last night upon receiving a request from the head coach, Pep Guardiola, to conclude the deal as soon as possible. It is also speculated that ?Ibracadabra? will take a pay-cut in order to play for ?El Tricampeon? ? and also ensure that he does not eclipse Lionel Messi ? while Eto?o has allegedly demanded ?13m from the San Siro outfit for a period of five years, or ?65 million in total.

Rappy Veteran Posted July 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 17, 2009 orly Fergie no more people :p Despite Sir Alex Ferguson's statement that the club would no longer be making mammoth splashes in the transfer market this summer, Manchester United have completed a swoop for Senegalese striker Mame Biram Diouf, 21.A statement on the club's official website indicated, "Manchester United and Molde F.K are pleased to announce that they have agreed terms for the transfer of Mame Biram Diouf. "Diouf is to attend a medical in Manchester next week with a view to joining the club in January. Until that time he will remain with Molde F.K. on loan." United chief executive David Gill intimated earlier this week that more signings may follow the acquisitions of Michael Owen, Gabriel Obertan, and Luis Antonio Valencia. Ferguson added, "We weren't intending on signing anyone else after last week - we feel we have a full squad - but the situation accelerated to a point where other clubs started to make bids. "So we had to decide whether we acted or didn't. We decided to act and he'll be last person we sign."

Martyn Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 40 million + Samuel Eto'o for Ibrahimovic? Eto'o is one hundred times the player Ibrahimovic is. After Torres, he has to be the second best striker in the world.

I wouldn't even put him in the top 20. Ibrahimovic is much better, and worth 40 million euros + Eto'o.

You need to get your facts right. Eto'o scores mostly tap-ins. And he can't be second-best in the world when Diego Forlan scored more goals than Eto'o in La Liga last season! And no bugger wants him because his wage demands are ridiculous! Pep Guardiola actually had to give him an extra week holiday this week so he can find a new club! :rofl: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/745234-football-summer-2009-transfer-thread/page/16/#findComment-591288752 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to speak of facts, Eto'o scored 36 goals last season including a goal in the Champions League Final. Not bad for a player who would not even make your list of the top 20 strikers in the world. Don't get me wrong, Ibrahimovic is a brilliant player, but he is not in the same mould as Eto'o. He has the horrible trait of being lazy, in about eight games a season he will score a fancy goal or do a nice trick and everyone will ###### themselves silly over him for the next few months. Your point about Forlan is void by the way, Eto'o scored more goals than him last season.

MightyJordan Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Fair enough, I'll concede. My fault for going with my brother's "facts". :p I just looked up La Liga last season, and yeah, it is true that Forlan scored two more goals than Eto'o but only in the league. And he seems to have something about any player that scores "boring" goals. He feels the same about Frank Lampard. He's probably still a little miffed about the Champions League Final. :p God knows why though; we were **** and that was that. I do stand by my belief though that Eto'o is getting a bit big for his boots. If he wants to play for a new club, he has to lower his wage demands, because not even Man City would buy him with whatever he's asking for.

Kralik Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 IMO Eto is good but not the second best in the world. David Villa and Aguero are both better than him and Pato and Vela will be better than him in the future.. i also feel Ibrahimovich is not worth ?40M.. not more than ?32M for that matter.. he is nothati> good.. however seeing the recent money paid.. ?40 sounds like a reasonable price.. but its not ?40M though is it? Its ?40M plus Eto'o who is worth ?30M thats ?70M for Ibra.. they must be:wacko::wacko: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/745234-football-summer-2009-transfer-thread/page/16/#findComment-591289152 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergkamp did that to stay with us and Villa is willing to take a paycut to sign with Barca.. I can't understand why they want Ibrahimovich? They have Henry and Messi and will sign Villa soon.. let Eto'o go Barca.. get Villa and Aguro or Pato..

Going from Barca to Man City is obviously going to be all about the money, he tried to milk them for all he can get and who can blame him? If I was going to move from the European Champions in sunny Spain to rainy Manchester and Man City...then I would want a lot of money! It is the same for a lot of players though, unfortunately it's all about the money now.

Rappy Veteran Posted July 17, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 17, 2009 Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, has confirmed that the swap deal involving Blaugrana striker Samuel Eto'o and Inter forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic is imminent, saying that negotiations for Ibrahimovic are "at a good stage" and "there is an agreement in principle with Inter". He also noted that he has spoken with Eto'o, adding that, for the striker, his future "is not about the money". The Catalan club chairman added that signing Ibrahimovic will cost the club ?45 million, Samuel Eto'o and the loan of Hleb.

Kralik Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Here's some Gunner's news.. Arsenal are to offer fellow London club Fulham a player-plus-cash swap deal in order to snare towering centre-back Brede Hangeland away from Craven Cottage, according to The Daily Star, who claim that Philippe Senderos is the defender deemed disposable by the north London management. Daily Star :rolleyes: Emmanuel Adebayor is set to remove all doubts over his future today, as he undergoes a medical at Manchester City. Adebayor had seemed minutes away from signing for the Citizens earlier in the week, before expressing last-minute doubts over how the deal would be perceived in his native Togo. However, according to The Sun, those doubts have now been erased, and Adebayor will today undergo a medical at Eastlands, where he is set to earn around ?130,000 a week. City will pay Arsenal around ?25 million for his services, and a work permit has already been granted, meaning the signing can be completed as soon as he passes the medical. ?25M.. fair enough.. we can get a great striker for that money.. Like this man.. Real Madrid's sporting director Jorge Valdano has today revealed that no offer for striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has been forthcoming from Premier League giants Arsenal, and, indeed, there has been only one serious offer so far for the Dutchman.Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart remain the only club to have made a concrete bid, and the Netherlands international, only six months into his time in Spain after a January move from Ajax, is said to be still considering their offer. "Only one formal offer exists and that is Stuttgart's," Sky Sports reports Valdano as telling Spanish media. We can also start Eduardo and give Vela + Bendtner more chances.. but I hope Wenger signs a big name of Henry/can Nistelroy caliber..

Martyn Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Selling Adebayor is a great bit of business for Arsenal, especially if they get Huntelaar in. Eto'o + ?36 million for Ibrahimovic has to be the most rediculous transfer of all time to be honest. Inter and Jose Mourinho must be made up.
