Transfer Window

STFC

Well-Known Member
It's all been a bit quiet so far. Has your club done much in the transfer window so far?

We've extended Fola Onibuje's loan to Wycombe, but apart from that not much has happened. There are rumours that we're going to sign Lee Barnard from Tottenham.
 
I imagine there will be a few comings and goings. :rolleyes:

nothing concrete yet but the rumour list includes...

viduka
swp
parker
barton
ashley young
luke young
upson
koumas
halford

I've forgotten the rest but it was loads. Can't see anybody decent coming, to be fair, so it'll be koumas.

Meanwhile...

NRC to bolton
Harewood to charlton
Zamora to anywhere
the rest of the squad.... offers accepted. :(

sorry you can add darren bent, super johnny hartson and lucas neill to that list.

basically any breathing player.
 
hahaha and if we get all that lot plus the dalai lama as spiritual advisor, we might just stay up...

if we get, in particular, SWP and barton, I will jog from here to haerbin in the winter snow. and that is not an idle promise this time.

SWP won't leave the comfort of the bench at chelsea for a relegation battle. and barton won't leave citeh for a team lower in the table.

yeah. I think you can discount parker, barton, ashley young (watford have said today he isn't for sale), darren bent (will pards want to sell? plus he is out for four weeks), lucas neill (was being touted for liverpool wasn't he?).

viduka seems to be a fight between us, charlton or staying at boro.

the rest... who knows?

The rumour is that SWP may be willing to come on loan but we're not sure. But then I'm sure you read that on the same site as me!

ITBS.

where I get all my "info". :p

it would be funny if he ended up there. I think the person who started it said he would be a replacement for campo. but campo has just said he wants to stay at Bolton

True I would be surprised if we get anyone really. The 2nd half of the season is going to be very nasty. But of course we won't get relegated too early. No, that would be too painless. It will be stretched out like last time to the very last fucking minute :mad:

Heh... cos the interweb is buggered in China at the moment (with only Urban, somehow, miraculously, working all that well - don't ask me how, even the Editor doesn't know) I find it a bit harder to keep up than usual...

Will be like this until Jan 15th at least when they fix the underwater cables :rolleyes:

Can't see Koumas going to West Ham. His missus is a pain in the arse by all accounts and doesn't like him moving around. He was also reportedly advising his West Brom team mates not to go in the transfer window as it would weaken their chances of going up. He's a funny bloke - terrified of flying so travels by car. He also came up with the best excuse for missing an international match ever: he discovered an old air raid shelter buried in his garden and wanted to spend the weekend digging it out!

I don't understand why West ham don't go in for Earnshaw. Guaranteed to get you goals and if you do get relegated he'll get you 25-30 in the Championship. He's much better than that overrated big-head Zamora who never even did it at Championship level. Would make a good partnership with Ashton when he gets fit too.
 
Looks like Cardiff are going to sign Geoff Horsfield according to the local paper. :rolleyes: We're in a difficult position in the Championship because our ground is so crap compared to most of the others. Even average teams like Coventry have much better facilities than us. If we were competing with say Sunderland for a player there's no way he'd pass up the Stadium of Light for a season at Ninian. Looks like it's has-beens and lower league players for us.

Barton is coming to Everton. He, Cahill and Barry Ferguson will battle for the centre midfield spots... though they'll do well to completely edge out Carsley this season (he'll be off at the end of the season).

It's bollocks. Rumours were that we'd have him too (£10m). Bollocks. No-one will pay that after the first half of the season - and he himself thought he was going to Man U after he'd walked through this season.

I'm starting a rumour that barry ferguson is on his way to west ham.

Nah, surely it's David Beckham, Ronaldinho and Pele (coming out of retirement to help out his boyhood dream-club)...

;)

nobody mentioned the fee.

we're going to resurrect bobby moore.
 
i say bring julian dicks in as coach. He will sort out who wants to be at the club or not very quickly. Presumingly by making harewood et al cry.

sorry you seem to be confusing us with spurs.


dave

I was going to make the same joke :D

They aren't quite as bad now - but do you remember 3-4 years ago when virtually every big name player would be linked with them in the close season... Always made me piss myself...
 
tommers said:

"West Ham announced today that they have appointed the son of god to their coaching staff...."

;)

Actually, though, he'd probably be able to teach the modern players a few things about heart and passion...

Transfer rumour reporting is hugely popular, so it kind of happens with any club who are considered to have a bit of money, now. So it's happening now with West Ham - because of the buyout, anyone remotely possibly "available" is being linked.

The Spurs ones were quite amusing, though. :)
 
kained&able said:
i'm pretty sure beckham and ronhildinho(if not then ronaldo) were rumoured that year(s)

dave

I thought it was rivaldo. actually... no you're right. rivaldo was to bolton. :D

True, but with us, it's plausible but unlikely EPL players. Spurs were being linked with just about every major star imaginable...

Weren't they owned by a media/publishing group? :D
 
I love the fact that even though we are having the shityest of shit seasons that we can find the time to laugh at spurs. It gives me hope!

We were supposed to be getting Lucas Neill for the back, It would be a good move. I don't think we'll get anyone else, the players we have need to settle in more.

The real redshites don't want him because they remember that he was brutal in breaking JC's leg. Still, rumour has is that JC and SG have stood up against him, and have the supporters club backing.

Not a surprise sleater wants him. I'm sure the new regime will force him on the players/ fans and force JC to shake hands with him in front of the fans.
