The 2011 January Transfer Window thread

[Tulip]

Agree with that. Cabaye and Tiote is a killer CM combination, Ba has been great up front but his knee could explode at any minute (hence why no club has taken a punt on his 7m release clause). Santon, Ben Arfa etc. are getting there. Only problem is whether you keep them ala. Modric or sell them like Carrick

Has been a hot and cold player for them since joining. If Moyes gets to reinvest the cash I'd back in to bring in a decent player.

 

[Cruyff14]

hahaha good one hawkman!

 

[Tulip]

Been pretty shocking for what they spent, as has Fellaini. Likes of Heitinga have been pretty ordinary too. Moyes operates best when he doesn't have money IMO

They'll need to dip into the scouting network and find 2 or 3 IMO. Squad is far too small

I think Bayern are interested in Lewandowski from Dortmund, but not sure the deal will happen.

I bring this up because he is a player Liverpool should be throwing their money at. He has 14 goals and 7 assists in 18 games, can play as a winger or striker and has been prolific in front of goal. And he's 23! A young player that you don't hear many raps about (Goetze steals the limelight), but he's an absolute gun!

 

[Latro]

Why would he move to an inferior team?

I cannot see Dortmund sell to a title rival.

Good god, only 5 days to go. I thought dalglish and wenger would've made 5 signings each by now!

 

[Cruyff14]

Wenger was never going to spend in January.

 

[Bet With Aus]

Wenger has been stubborn, once again. Said he would buy if not having full backs meant we would drop points. Well...we've lost the last three games. And the last game against United saw them score both goals starting from wide positions, particularly the first one where Djourou just refused to close Giggs down.

Cahill was a good buy for Chelsea, surprised more clubs weren't in for him. I suppose only City can match the wages Chelsea will pay him because of the small transfer fee.

Giovani dos Santos leaving Spurs for Villarreal for about 4m

 

[Cruyff14]

Cahill is your standard English CB, nowhere near the level Terry and Rio were at that age.

Considering you got anything for him was a good bit of business

Dortmund are a much better club than Liverpool.

Spurs want $222million from City for Bale

I love it, pull that one out of your arse Manchini

 

[Fwoy]

Liverpool have apparently put in a bid between £10-15 million for Chilean Mauricio Isla, who plays for Udinese and can play CM, RM and RW.

The guy can play....part of the reason why Udinese are so high in Serie A this year.

I think we all know that Spurs have put that price tag on Bale to deter would be suitors and NO player is worth that much money and certainly not Bale.

It's nice to know we are the only club that could afford it though.

Dont see why he would go, Liverpool are a step down from Udinese.

Well if Torres is worth 50m and Carroll 35m, I think Bale is worth 150m

Ironically, back in 2009, when Spurs were considering the sale of Bale, City turned down the chance to sign him for about £4m. Mark Hughes, City’s manager at the time, didn’t want to complete a deal.

Another reason for you to hate Mark Hughes

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Well if Torres is worth 50m and Carroll 35m, I think Bale is worth 150m

Well yes going on those figures he would be.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Bale scores goals though. It would make his worth off the charts.

Make it 400million. If City want Gareth Bale then they should pay for Tottenham's new stadium
