Did we send out carlos Velaon loan or Sell him to that Spanish team?

Loan(for the season)
(why is this on the rumour page)
1732

Alas, just a loan deal.

Better than Park though, by quite a distance and still not Arsenal quality

What may cause confusion is that on Fifa 12 he was not counted as a loaned out player and neither was Denilson although other players like Bartley and Wellington Silva are.

How can you call him better than Park, give Park a chance..

On loan, but i think with something like 9m buy-out clause if i recall correctly...

every 1 is talkin a lot about gotze.the way i see it there are three teams in for him.us bayern munich..........and man utd.man utd are in bad need of a creative spark.i think gotze is on their radar and possibly still sneijder.i think sneijder will leave inter next summer which leaves us and bayern, and unfortunately top german players almost always stay in germany with bayern almost like something of a holy grail to them.lets hope gotze is different and we can somehow get him..will not be until the summer though.no chance of a january deal
1886 {Ed002's Note - Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona have already been knocked back by his club and Goetze himself has made it abundantly clear that he wants to stay at Dortmund for this season, although no doubt a very significant offer would be listened to. Real Madrid may be able to persuade him to move. He has identified his favourite teams as Barcelona and Arsenal. There is also interest also from AC Milan - and I suspect that they are shifting their interest in Ganso to Goetze due to persisting non-EU quota issues. There may be some, so far unpublisized, interest from elsewhere announced soon.}

I have a funny feeling that this is not Wenger's number one target.

I believe he is trying to draw attention to Gotze - but that Hazard remains his main target.

I believe the 50mln figure quoted by Lille is simply to deter bids in January. However, they are likely to let him go for less in the Summer.

Furthermore, with Belgium not in the Euro Cup, Hazard's price will not be further inflated.

I think Vermaelen (cousin) and Gervinho (Friend) can persuade him to join.

Song, Wilshire, Hazard would be a young but one of the most talented midfields in the world.

Price: 30mln {Ed002's Note - Unless an extraordinary bid is made in January, Eden Hazard will not be available to the summer. Real Madrid or Barcelona is his preferred destination. PSG, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are all interested to one degree or another. I said over the summer that I would not be surprised to see Manchester United through their hat in to the ring with Hazard as well. I don't see Hazard moving to Liverpool, Juventus, AC Milan or Arsenal for that matter. Chelsea have maintained a long-term interest but one particularly influential party at the club sees the player as having an attitude problem.}

Ed002 not sure about AC Milans non EU quota or who they have. But I do have a question about it. Would Tevez add to that non EU quota or because he has been in England 5 years does he qualify? Well 4 1/2 years..
RD {Ed002's Note - To accommodate Tevez AC Milan need to move a non-EU player on (Pato is the obvious choice and is available) or increase their quota by taking on another place unused by another club. Tevez is a non-EU player.}

Arsenals interest and pressing was the most for Götze. If Wenger wants a player he usually gets him. Wenger wants Reus and Götze!!

There is a couple of stories iv read that say because Hazard is the best at Lille he has an attitude problem.. He would fit in nicely with the England rugby squad! Sorry again Ed but I meant to ask can a non EU player become EU qualified if he plays/works in the country for a certain length of time? Like if I moved to Australia I could become a citizen after 5 years of working full time there..
RD {Ed001's Note - you can apply for citizenship after a period of time, but it is not a small period, which is why Prem teams usually send non-EU players out on loan on the continent to get the passport.}

On one of the ad boxes on this page it says Udinese's Gabriel Torje is another man on our wishlist...can't believe we've only just clocked!

Wonder if that's true.
