The 2011 January Transfer Window thread

[Kompany]

Arsenal are an outside chance due to their emphasis on youth but if it comes down to a bidding war which I think it will then it will be a showdown between City and Chelsea as to who will give him the best deal.

He'll have the last say. Lille won't force him to go anywhere. If City has the biggest offer but Mancini can't convince Hazard he wants him to play every game, he won't go there.

He's always said he wanted to go to Arsenal or Real, but it looks like it'll be Chelsea, and maybe City.

He will end up at Real or PSG IMO. He is meant to have a good relationship with Zidane and PSG will pay the most.

No and no. He doesn't want to stay in France and he's said he's going to England already. If Real wanted him, we'd have known by now.

 

[Latro]

He has also said he would like to play in Italy and Spain. He says a lot of things. I know he was at the Arsenal Utd game as guest of Gervinho.

I think it was Dugarry who said he is 100% going to Chelsea.

 

[GrandBlue]

Arsenal blew their chances when they poached Park Chu-Young off them, while he was on the train. Lille will happily favor selling him to Chelsea or City.

Hate all you want, it's possible.

 

[Cruyff14]

He's a whore.

 

[Kompany]

Pretty sure those are his agent's instructions, just to get the likes of Chelsea nervous. This is not the Hazard of the last 2-3 seasons talking about his future. He really doesn't want to go to PSG.

Ravel Morrison going to West Ham in one of the most intriguing transfers in recent times.

Been talked up as a sure thing since he was a 14/15 year, but is a nutter, probably only a traffic offence away from a jail term and apparently picks and chooses when he wants to train.

Can't wait to see him and Fat Sam get together, will be an interesting one.

 

[Magma]

wayne bridge having a medical at sunderland apparently

hahahahahahaha

 

[strauchanie59]

QPR's Bradley Orr at Blackburn having medical now.
Nott Forrest confirm that Chelsea have bid 1.5 million pounds for Lewis Bamford and have accepted it.
Jelavic to join Everton in 5.5 million pound deal.
Wilfred Zaha very likely to join Bolton.
Kevin De Bruyne HAS signed for Chelsea from Genk but will go on loan back to Genk for the rest of the season.
FC Basel have rejected a $8 million bid from Zenit for Xherdan Shaqiri.

Fee is 300k with sell on clause. Has a 4 year contract however I think its with club option for 1 of those years from what im reading. Probably be on a fair wage though (like 15-20k)

TBF to Fat Sam hes gotten the best out of troublemakers all the time. El Hadj Diouf is equal the douchebag Ravel is and in all honesty the only time Diouf looked sane both on and off the football field was when he was playing with Bolton

 

[Magma]

a few players being linked to everton

jelavic, cerci, hoarau, riquelme

If that ends up coming to pass, he'd be an improvement on most of their strikeforce

 

[Cruyff14]

Can't see Riquelme joining Everton. He'd want far too much, and England does not suit his game at all.

 

[strauchanie59]

Jelavic has just arrived at Everton's training ground to undergo a medical.

 

[Magma]

we're getting closer to a loan with permanent option for david pizarro

i dont know much about him besides that he's very classy, can pick out a good pass and roberto absolutely loves the bloke.

A good pickup.

Pavel Pogrebnyak looks very likely to join Fulham today

 

[Benno_900]

I'd have thought that the Russians would've learnt to avoid the EPL by now ...

 

[Magma]

Pavel Pogrebnyak looks very likely to join Fulham today

along with the possibility of barrios it's a decent looking front line for them. this is offset with zamora rumoured to be off to qpr

 

[strauchanie59]

And it has been just confirmed...Juventus has made an offer for Paul Pogba..they are waiting for Man U to reply now.

And Djbril Cisse looks near certain to join QPR in a deal around 4-5 million pounds.

How have they manage to get Barrios? Fulham would be a huge step down.

 

[HolyRioli]

Alan Smith is apparently likely to complete a full circle and be loaned back to Leeds

 

[Magma]

not wanted at dortmund, hasnt scored all season and dortmund only want 9 mil for him. surprised a lot of other clubs havent come knocking.

I have heard that Liverpool are seriously considering buying him..great player for just $9 million pounds. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

 

[glenferry23]

Spurs seemingly closing on a permanent move for adebayor. As has been said, if spurs can accommodate his wage demands then this appears an excellent move. Good footballer when he's got his head right.

 

[Coledinho]

West Hams first team strike force currently consists of

Carlton Cole, Sam Baldock, Freddie Piquionne, John Carew, Freddie Sears, Frank Nouble, Dylan Tombides, Brian Montenegro, Robert Hall

and we have agreed fees so far for

Ze Eduardo (loan), Ricardo Vaz Te (700k), Nicky Maynard (2.5 mill)

If no one left that means we have 12 first team strikers
