Totally Unofficial Summer Transfer Thread 2011 (NWT)

Bert van Marwijk, the Holland coach, has stepped into the £40million transfer wrangle to tell the Dutch midfielder he can *become an even greater player at Manchester United – even if it means taking a pay cut!

Van Marwijk said: “A transfer to United will do Wesley a lot of good. He will benefit as a player from playing for them.

“With Real Madrid and Inter Milan he has already the biggest club names in football on his cv. But Manchester United will be another big step up the *international ladder for him.

“Manchester United have a unique playing style and they perform *consistently at the *highest level.

“Their methods in training, and the way people work at this club with players, are superb.

“This is why it will be a new challenge to Wesley. It will inspire him and it will give him new *energy.

“The United style is much more similar to the Dutch style than Inter’s way of playing.

“When Wesley plays for *Holland we make sure he gets the ball as soon as possible to his feet. Much quicker than Inter try that.

“It means he can have a goal *attempt much quicker or can give a decisive pass.

“In Italy he plays in a more *sitting role, and he is facing six defenders all the time.

“The control we let him take in attack with the Dutch team, I can also see with United.

“I think he would really fit into the midfield perfectly at Old *Trafford.”

laliga_news Sevilla and Sporting CP have agreed a deal for Diego Capel (via @JoaoFFVaz).
about 4 hours ago
 
I like Diego Capel, but that's def a step down
 
Capel has stalled in his development I think. I used to like him a lot



Also Juve left Amauri, Sissoko, and Felipe Melo at home for the North American tour. So you can say bye to them
 
2 years ago D Capel was the talk of Europe. He hasn't done shit since. Hope he gets his talent back. Fantastic player when he is 100%
 
Realized that's the portuguese club, and not the Spanish one I was thinking of. Not as big of a downward move as I thought, maybe even lateral... Guess the point being that at 23, he should be stepping up somewhere -- like you said, seems like his development stalled.
