Good Ole Transfers

Well this is one of my first real time event blogs in a while, so bear with me. As it may get a little choppy.

Summer is here and has been for a month or two now, which means the summer transfer window has opened. Of course all the crazy rumors are going around and people start to wonder if anything can be true! Americans coming to the Premier League? Fuzzy Belgians moving teams? Wayne Rooney leaving or staying? Many, many more are floating around!

Jozy Altidore, a player who I do not really like, has been on great form for the United States National team lately and he is ready to make his move to England. Not the Championship, or League 1, but the Premier League!! Sunderland is the team interested and has apparently made the deal. As much as I don't like Altidore, I'm glad to see an American play with high quality players. I think its great for the National team! This will be his second go in the Premier League after playing with Hull City in the 2009/2010 season. It didn't go to well, but you have to remember Altidore is only 23. So he's young and has improved a lot. It will be interesting to see what he can do in his return to the Barclays Premier League.

Marouane Fellaini has been wanting to play with a higher quality side then Everton after having a pretty nice season at the Merseyside. Many teams have said they're interested in him and he brings a few qualities. He's tall and a good aerial threat, but he can also pass and win possession. Arsenal, who needs another big tall guy besides Giroud, have said they are interested. You can never tell with them, but as an Arsenal fan I hope they get him. One of the big problems with Fellaini is that he is not very consistent. When he does get on a good run of form, he might do something crazy like elbow a Stoke player. In the end I think he's worth it for many teams. I think he will leave Everton.

Wayne Rooney has been a big story. Nobody can ever tell what's going to happen to the English man. The latest news is that David Moyes, new Man U boss, is going to keep Rooney no matter what. Of course, any player is always for sale as long as the number is big enough. But will Rooney impact Man U? Do they really need him? He brings something Van Persie does not! He brings a passing game and plays defense. An overall hard worker. The counter to that is, he wants to be the star, and I do not see that happening. The problem for many teams are his wages. The amount of money needed to pay him is too high. So, unfortunately, I see him actually staying at Man U. Why would he go to Chelsea or Real Madrid if he wanted to be the star?
