Luis Suarez, Gareth Bale and Wayne Rooney, these three big names are hottest transfer issue in this summer transfer. I believe most of the fans are taking popcorn to watch these astonishing stories every day. No doubt, these three players are the main assets of their current team and also Barclays Premier League.

There already many key and famous players such as Falcao (Athelico Madrid to Mondaco for 60m), Neymar (Santos to Barcelona for 55m), Cavani (Napoli to PSG for 65m), Illarramendi (Real Sociedad to Real Madrid for 33m), Reina (Liverpool loan to Napoli), Higuain (Real Madrid to Napoli for 34.5m), Jovetic (Fiorentina to Manchester City for 25.8m) and others. I would specially mentioned PSG because they crazily spent 1.01billion in purchasing players within one week. Those players are Cavani for 65m, Marquinhos for 31.4m, and Lucas Digne for 15m. The other France football club, Monaco, is not losing to their rival in spending money to players transfer. They already spent 147.2m in these players, who are Falcao for 65m, James Rodriquez for 45m, Jose Mouthinho for 25m, Toulalan for 5m, Martial for 5m, Lopez for 2.2m, and other players with undisclosed fees or free transfer. THIS IS CRAZY! (Resources from this website: http://www.soccernews.com/soccer-transfers/rest-of-europe-transfers/)

John W. Henry. 
In this morning; I have seen the strong leadership from Liverpool’s Owner, John W. Henry. He responded clearly in Luis Suarez transfer saga, which was Luis is going nowhere in this summer transfer period, no matter how much bid from neither local nor foreign club. (For full articles, you can click into this website: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/aug/08/luis-suarez-liverpool-john-w-henry) As a Liverpool fans, I am definitely delight when I read this article because it is a strong sign to Luis Suarez for not transferring to other team. We all know that Luis is a very important player for Liverpool FC and our skipper, Steven Gerrard, had said that Luis is the one of the key players for Reds to qualify for Champions League football. I hope he can find back the proper manner and apologized to club and fans for his actions. Fans and club always back for his action and support him when he is still our player. Remember this, ‘No one is bigger than the club.’

In football reasons, I hope Rooney can transfer to Chelsea because it will definitely lower the threat of our rivals, Manchester United. It is already not the first time for him to request transfer to other team, and Jose Mourinho, Chelsea FC new manager, has spoken for he only want Wayne in this summer. I knew that there was some argument between Wayne and Moyes, new manager of Manchester United, when Rooney decided to leave Everton for Manchester United. The board of Manchester United also mentioned that they won’t sell or extend contract with Rooney. It is very interesting now because of the attitude between player and board of club.

For Gareth Bale case, it is very complicated now. Although I don’t think he is worth the world highest transfer price, which is around 1.2 billion, I admit he is still a good player. As you can see the transfer list of players nowadays is incredibility high, you won’t be that surprised when you read the news of Tothenham chief executive wanted for this high price. I don’t really understand the reason of Real Madrid for spending this money in him when they got Cristiano Ronaldo in their team. However, if they really get Bale into their team, I can’t imagine how powerful Real Madrid are. I really can’t wait for the news at September 4th (the last transfer date for BPL)!
In conclusion, these three players already made them in a bad relationship with club now. They will be stuck if they could not transfer to other team successfully in this summer transfer. If it really be real, the only thing they could do is to apologize and respond it on pitch. ‘Be proud to play for the shirt!’
