Transfer deadline muppetry meltdown

Diego Arismendi signs for Stoke. No idea who he was, so I checked out Wiki.

'An orphan, Diego became a priest in his native homeland of Uruguay. He followed his dream of moving to England to become a drug dealer, located in the Birmingham area. He used to work down the mines in Nottingham before opening a mexican restaurant at the age of 20 in Dewsbury. Not a great footballer, signing for Stoke City shows their ambition to become powerhouses of english football. Go diego Go!'

:D
 
Remember the wonder-kid Pele said would be the next great player, allegedly chased by half Europe when he was in the MLS?

Well, he was loaned to Belenenses, a mid-table team in here. :D
 
It appears that we're signing Southend striker Alex Revell, initially on loan until January, with an option to buy. He's looked good the last couple of times I've seen him play against us, and their fans don't seem happy about him going.
 
SSN latest speculation:

Petrov - Bentley loan swap
Benjani loan to Notts County:eek:

Ribery unhappy at Bayern. Transfer window in rest of Europe has closed. Chelsea?? City?? Maybe even indebt United.
 
I love the BBC live updates:

BBC Sport's roving reporter Sam Lyon: "Unsurprisingly, getting hold of football agents on the last day of the transfer window can be trickier than a four-foot-square Rubix Cube, but luckily for you good people I have a direct line to the biggest and the best by way of a batphone. Now, I have more digging to do to firm up what I've just been told by my high-profile man-in-the-know, but here's a teaser, to be taken with a pinch of salt for now: a big-money transfer will happen in the north-west today, with Everton and Liverpool, as well as Man City, ready to splash the cash; Arsenal hope to do a late deal for a midfielder; and Portsmouth are in the process of negotiating 427 incoming signings, of which maybe three will come off. I may have exaggerated the last one, but you get the idea."

Not that vexed really....why do Real Madrid need him? They couldn't fit him without dropping one of the other new signings. He's good but not £60m good.

True; I have to remember that not all Spanish managers are whiny cunts with chips on their shoulders like Benitez.
 
Bayern looked good at the weekend - for the first time - so they'll be desperate to keep hold of him.
 
Johnny Heitinga, who looks suspiciously like the white Gladstone Small, is at Everton's training ground for further negotiations aimed at reducing his weekly wage from what Atletico are paying him.
 
freddy adu?
That's right. What a bloody media hype he is. I wonder how much Nike paid ManUtd to give him a "trial run" and then say nice things about him some 4 years ago. Pele, goes without saying, probably has a predefined sales quote :D

Last I've heard, Ribery will go to Madrid at the end of the season, due to Bayern's insistence on not selling this year (and Robben was a sort of down payment).
 
1421: There are alleged sightings of West Ham striker Carlton Cole at Liverpool's training ground

Yeah, like we'd sell our only established striker, we're trying to make the club look profitable to a buyer FFS.
 
Badlands is in a meeting this afternoon, but has left me with orders to text him should anything emerge from Cardiff.

What do you reckon? Was thinking of texting him about 3.30. Ledley to Wolves £4m plus add-ons if they stay up, double swoop by Newcastle for Chopra and McCormack £9m, cash no sell on clauses.

It's OK. If Liverpool buy him, they'll only sell him back to you at a cut price in January

That would be cruel......and funny.
 
Mmmmmm ive heard these rumours about Joe Ledley coming to Molineux for £6m. I wouldnt mind him but I cant see us paying that.
