Transfer deadline muppetry meltdown

[internetstalker]

I've heard Harry Kewell is 'aving a free transfer back to Leeds Utd on a pay as you pay contract

 

[Epico]

My mum's friend's son's workmate's brother's girlfriend's father's cousin saw David Villa in a taxi with Carlo Ancelotti.
Villa to sign for Chelsea this afternoon. Fact.

My mate's cousin works at the Lowry Hotel and just took a suite reservation for a Mr Ribery, travelling from Munchen.

Seriously, both BBC and SSN have had loads of calls about him being spotted at Manchester airport. They're joking that Frank has now been there for six hours!

James Collins transfer to Villa confirmed:

Still waiting for news on Richard Dunne. If he signs as well, we can pack Curtis Davies off to the surgeon's table to get his shoulder fixed, and applaud Martin O'Neill for a tidy last day's business.

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

Cardiff closed the transfer window at 12pm tho, as Ridsdale is on plane to Malaysia to meet our new backers, no one is coming or going!

Oh right, oh well I couldnt see us signing anyone else after yesterdays shopping by Mick McCarthy.

 

[Phenotypic Dai]

Good.

I'd heard rumours that Ledley was signing for Fulham.

Dunne, by the way, has had his move to Villa ratified by the FA but NOT by the Premier League as it stands, and both need to be forthcoming before a deal can be confirmed.

What happens if the Premier League don't ratify it?

Either way, Aston Villa, Birmingham, Burnley, Everton, Fulham, Hull, Portsmouth, Spurs and Stoke were today's movers and shakers, making this a warm bath of a deadline day rather than a red hot lava-spilling volcano. Still, it kept you all occupied at work didn't it?

Fucking knobs-of-the-top-four-plus-Citeh sucking journalists .... why not try to analyse what these transfers mean for the participants rather than being snide? Twat.

Another FANTASTIC transfer window for West Ham. Selling one of our best defenders and then failing to use the dosh for a striker

 

[TrippyLondoner]

So glad we didn't lose anyone else, knew the rumours about steven taylor wouldn't come true. Happy lovenkrands is back.

so we are not talking about the fact we sold savio to fiorentina for a decent wedge plus a massive sell on clause and got a defender from them, AND sugned a striker for 7million the day before?

Its nailed on that the Nugent will go on some mad scoring spree now, isnt it?

Agreed. Brightside, el walruso, bright sde.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Been a really weak deadline day compared to others hasn't it? haven't really been all that interested in it this time round.

Yeah but we borrowed money from our own sponsors to buy that striker.

We still need a proper out and out striker.

which is why getting in 5 million was a good thing! Means we either can pay em back or still have funds for jan, dpending on quite how the money arrived, i have heard it two different ways.

I'm not disagreeing we could do with anoher striker, BUT considering we should be bust by now and didn't sell green, upson, parker etc I am fairly happy.

We got in: Illunga, kovac, nouble, Diamanti, da costa, Peter Kurucz(sub keeper), jiminez(loan), Daprela(swiss rb)

and lost: neil, collins, savio

that really isn't bad going. Reckon we spent a good 20 million and got in 8-10(depending on the savio deal, i dont think we got a straight 5million for him). Thats fairly good considering we have fuck all money.

I know you might be slightly more diserpointed then me cos you reckon we could have finished a couple of places hgher then my estimate, but dude its really not that bad, honestly! My only real regret is that quashie and davernport didn't fuck off! The 5 million(if someone was silly) from those two would have been the striker you were looking for.

[badlands]

that was a shit transfer window.

most unentertaining.

journeymen swap clubs.

big boring deal.

dave

That's a bit harsh, I dont suppose he's too happy at the thought of never being able to play again either!

 

[kained&able]

yes i know its well harsh. I hope he plays again but i was waiting for him to leave long before the coke dealer got to him.

He was never going to play in a west ham(first team) shirt again either way

It was a good window, but a shit deadline day.

 

[London_Calling]

A lot of players just moved around the Premiership though.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Am talking overall, not just the prem. World transfer record broken twice, and other big names moving around, wasn't boring for me.

This time next year: City buy United. We'll sell Robinho to finance the deal.

Deadline day at Sky Sports News is

 

[stupid dogbot]

Winger Franck Ribery, a target for both Real Madrid and Manchester United, seems to have signalled the end of his time at Bayern Munich by attacking manager Luis van Gaal.

Bit excessive.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Bit excessive.

Didn't choose the best of timing did he?

 

[stupid dogbot]

Not really. You'd have thought a transfer request nearer the start of the window would have been more appropriate...!
