January Transfer Window Thread

[AlexOC]

Hart is a great keeper, young and flexble.

He can save good shots, but not when the defence is letting floods of attackers through.

Hey, it's Routledge missing out not us.

When qpr get to the Premier league, he'll be sat on the bench.
When Cardiff get to the premier league, he'll be our first choice winger.


So, Wayne, when your sitting on the bench at QPR, wondering why your position is being taken up by some £20 million Italian, you can suck my ****.

Are Arsenal actually signing anyone? As far as i'm aware we're putting up most of the yongsters up for loan to other teams and yet not getting anyone in return :s

Tbh we need Baptista back on loan

Apparently, we are linked with Arshavin, Alonso, Inler and more. Just wait.

Shay Given claims he dosen't want to move, and his agent made that statement without the consent of Given.

He's been falsey linked with Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City.

And you know this how?

17.23 Everton boss David Moyes admits he will be looking to add to his threadbare options in attack in the January transfer window. Who should the Toffees chief be looking at?

16.45 Queens Park Rangers have confirmed the signing of Wayne Routledge on a three-and-a-half year deal. The Aston Villa wide man spurned Cardiff to move to Loftus Road.

16.23 Gareth Southgate has again reiterated his desire to keep Stewart Downing at The Riverside. The Boro boss admits he is aware of interest from Spurs but is adamant his star man will not be sold.

16.11 Fulham manager Roy Hodgson has no intention of selling Jimmy Bullard or Brede Hangeland during the January transfer window. He does though concede that every player has his price.

14.22 Arsene Wenger has claimed supporters are in "dreamland" if they expect Arsenal to break the bank during the January transfer window.

13.50 Wayne Bridge's move to Chelsea is edging ever closer with news Manchester City have now agreed a fee for the player's service.

13.41 Tony Adams admits he is unsure over whether Jermain Defoe will ever play for Portsmouth again.

13.27 QPR's on-loan defender Michael Mancienne has been recalled by parent club Chelsea due to injury and suspension problems going into their FA Cup clash against Southend.

10.12 QPR have completed a permanent move for Iceland international Heidar Helguson, with the striker joining on a two-and-a-half-year deal for an undisclosed fee after impressing on loan from Bolton.

9.43 Olivier Dacourt expects to secure a move away from Inter Milan during the January transfer window after falling out of favour with boss Jose Mourinho.

9.14 Brazilian defender Kleber claims he would jump at the chance to join Manchester City in the winter transfer window.

8.44 Valencia have admitted they would consider parting company with star men David Villa and David Silva if they were to receive an 'exorbitant' offer.

8.30 It is also reported in the broadsheets that Bayern Munich have told Real Madrid that they must cough up a whopping £55million if they want to sign French star Franck Ribery. It will be interesting to see a measure of ambition at the Bernabeu this month.

8.27 The Times reports that Manchester City have made West Ham a new £8million offer for midfielder Scott Parker and Hammers officials are rumoured to have been considering the bid over night.

8.10 The Daily Mail claims that Chelsea could sell Brazilian defender Alex to AC Milan and use the cash to sign CSKA Moscow's Yuri Zhirkov. The Russia star impressed at Euro 2008 and would make an ideal replacement for Wayne Bridge, who is reported to be on his way to Manchester City.

7.55 Carlos Tevez has told Manchester United that he wants to stay at Old Trafford and he expect his loan contract to be made permanent within the next week. However, speculation that Real Madrid are set to hijack any deal continues to rumble.

7.41 Reports in Friday's newspapers are linking West Ham defender Lucas Neill with a move to Galatasaray. Yesterday it emerged that the Hammers could be prepared to pay off the Australian's contract to allow him to move for free this month.

7.34 Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce has been linked with a bid for Sunderland's El-Hadji Diouf, who he managed at Bolton. The Ewood Park chief wants to build experience in the battle to beat Premier League relegation.

Those are some of today's transfer stories that I've picked out from SkySports.com. Moyes was at the Blackpool - Wolves game so he might be looking to make a bid for Ebanks-Blake or Iwelumo (which I hope he doesn't), but out of the two I think Iwelumo is more likely to go IF Wolves accept the offer.

Podolski has submitted a transfer request and has admitted there being interest from Spurs, City and Roma. Plllleeeeassseee come to Spurs!

Well the clubs I have mentioned are the ones the ones that he has confirmed interest in. Most of the big four clubs aren't spending this window, and I doubt Arsenal will go in for him.

Apparently Arsenal ARE interested in hi, but Wenger thinks that if he says who he is interested in, it is 50% less likely to happen, so he is keeping quiet. But Arshavin and Alonso, i cant wait to see who City and Arsenal Sign

[Throne Sofa]

It seems like it's Cologne he'll be going to...

[Geraint]

Unlucky Geraint, Routledge has signed for QPR.
