Quite surprised by that. Quite a coup for City. Unlucky Septic 

 

Mark hughes is Fulham's new manager. Think that is a more than decent appointment. Hopefully he can build on Roy's success and ensure they retain a few of their key players from last season.

Not sure what's harder to believe - Darren Bent for 18-24mill or Gareth Barry to Inter.  Another one on the cards - Thierry Henry to Leicester!! 

Based on this, Newcastle should hold out for 25mill for Andy Carroll.

 

Was just about to post this.  Bonkers.

 

Never going to happen.

Read that Aston Villa were operating on a wage budget £15m a year higher than Tottenham.  Doesn't surprise me that their chairman wasn't really willing to give O'Neill more money to invest in the squad. 

 

Not only that, but he took in Sidwell on a £50k a week deal!  For 45 league apperances in 3 seasons.  Ridiculous.

I thought Randy Lerner was supposed to be a sensible businessman, seems like he's lost the plot!? £24 million for Bent

Pienaar has moved to spurs, bit of a pointless transfer on both parts. There are better players than him at Spurs and he won't get in the first team? My spurs colleague is raging because she wanted a striker.

 

Sammon has declined the opportunity to move to Scunthorpe, surely it's a step up from Ayrshire?

Surprised by that one myself though Redknap does seem to like him.

 

The bit in bold completely invalidates the opinion.  Be surprised if they bring in a striker.

So that's anything between £0 and £50k. They might be right then.

How much is the wee nyaff on at der hun? £10000 a week?

Probably more, I'd reckon about 15k.

Galatasaray preparing a bid for Barry Fungushun.  Can't see that being a move he'd fancy. Any bother over there they'll use knives, not just belts wrapped around fists which is Barry's choice of weapon in a square go.

So more likely to be offered, say, £20K, not £50K. Huns trying to bum up their player?

Graham Rix has applied for a coaching job at Aston Villa, after hearing that the forward line are Young and Bent.

I fucking hate that cunt

(Dani Alves not Johan Cruyff)

Yellow card magnet Mark van Bommel has signed for AC Milan.

Not surprised, he's too slow for the premier league so was surprised to see him linked with some teams. I see Spurs are linked with Phil Neville wtf, how many midfielders does 'Arry need?

He has had two offers for Neville knocked back already by Everton who have said he is not for sale.

Don't think Spurs have a decent defensive mid.

Emmanuel Adebayor has agreed to take a pay cut to join Real Madrid on loan from Manchester City, with what the Spanish club describe as a "unilateral option" of a £15m transfer at the end of the season.

 

However, the Spanish club are unlikely to want to be tied to anything more than a six-month contract. The deal is a victory for the Real coach, José Mourinho, who has persisted in his pursuit of a new striker despite resistance from the board.

 

"Real Madrid and Manchester City have reached a deal that will see Emmanuel Adebayor play on loan," said Real in a statement. "The player will remain at Real Madrid until the end of the current season, at which point the club hold a unilateral option to purchase the player."

 

The Spaniards have turned to Adebayor after being unable to persuade Hamburg to allow Ruud van Nistelrooy to return to the Bernabéu to fill in for the Argentinian Gonzalo Higuaín, who is out for up to four months with a back injury. Madrid also looked at signing the Germany striker Miroslav Klose but Adebayor's availability for the Champions League makes him a more attractive proposition.

 

I think he'll do quite well at Real.

Says it all about the cash swilling about down south when a player has to take a pay cut to join Real Madrid
