I got 7th in the NT standard league. Perhaps I could have done better had I not had Lucas in the lineup the whole season.

I finished 6th (4th if we take playoffs into account) in the NT league. Had an Arsenal-like run at the end of the year
Moved up from 19th through the year after losing 8 of the first 10 weeks. Lost in the semi-finals by 5 points

1. Kalou should look to Arsenal in my opinion. I've always thought he'd fit in with their style of play. Maybe if they dropped Gervinho
2. Giroud has been playing in Ligue 2 in france
3. Most interesting out of all of these....Hulk to Chelsea would be MAJOR. I wonder how that would fit in with Torres wanting to be the RVP of Chelsea.
4. Where would Robben even go right now?
5. I don't think Tevez CAN go anywhere, even if they wanted (PSG? Anzhi?). Tevez wages are
6. AVB could be a good look for LFC. He just needs time, at least 2-3 seasons to be fair.
7. I think Bale leaving is pending really on Modric leaving.

2. Giroud has been playing in Ligue 2 in france, it's safe to say, if United buy him, he'll be used for Carling Cup action.
4. Where would Robben even go right now?
Bayern was also interested in Giroud, obviously not a bad player.

Actually a lot of them are true...
The problem is people read "Real Madrid is interested in...." and they read it as "Real Madrid BOUGHT ..."
At this point, various clubs are going to be interested in various players....and various clubs will try and establish contact with agents, and get turned down.

My bad...I looked on Wiki to see his stats and I read his loan stats at "Tours" by accident.

No worries, just preparing someone who will inevitably be my boy when he signs for Arsenal and turns out to be a bum. Though this dude does look better than the last Ligue 1 leading scorer we signed...

I'm hoping Gervinho can have a better season, showed a lot of promise....and well you know, finishing and mistakes. He has a lot to prove this pre-season

I genuinely don't understand what happened with Gervinho. I thought he was going to have a "Chicharito" or "Cisse" entrance to Arsenal...and REALLY make a difference in his first season...Originally Posted by Mastamind89

He reminds me a lot of Cleverley for us....A LOT of energy, but his finishing is

Stoke are trying to put a bid on Lukaku for season long loan. (I think this will be a GREAT scenario for him to get game time...we saw how well that worked for Welbeck).
QPR want to pick up Jenas from Spurs to replace Joey Barton
Everton are looking into FC Copenhagen's striker N'Doye...but Everton will have to sell to afford a bid (maybe Baines money will cover this)
HULK is about to hand in a transfer request to make his exit a bit easier.
