January Transfer Window Thread

[Jordie]

OK, this is just a load of transfers I've heard of, so they may not necessarily be true... Sorry that it is mostly about Man City but they do seem to be all over the transfer window.

• City are supposedly offering £17m for Santa Cruz, which Santa Cruz is interested in the move.
• City are also looking to bid for Toure and Given (£10), who are both unhappy at their clubs.
• Spurs and Arsenal are also interested in Given.
• Apparently Harry Redknapp made a £30m bid for Defoe, Crouch and Glen Johnson but it was turned down.
• Everton are interested in Wolves Ebanks-Blake.
• Hull and West Brom are going to make bids for Hamann.
• Jo is looking to go back to CSKA Moscow on loan or a permanent deal.
• Valencia will look at any offers that are made for David Villa, even though they do not want to sell him, but may need to because of their current financial problems.
• Hughes has given up on Upson as he believes West Ham are over-valueing him (£10)
• West Ham want a total of £32m for Bellamy, Upson and Parker, with Man City.

David Villa's agent was at eastlands yesterday but hes probably thinking why did i bother?

Stayed at the Radisson hotel. The hotel has to keep hush, they were not allowed to release details about him staying there. A deal has been agreed however Villa and the club must deny that there is a deal.

Villa played for Valencia yesterday..

[Sepron]

Wolves are also after Marvin Elliott from Britstol City.

Arsenal are scouting at Wolves Goalkeeper Wayne Henessey aswell

[Immenseman]

Defoe has had death threats and has now officially said he wants to team up with Redknapp again, although it didn't take a genius.

We don't need given.

Hart is great.

We need defenders to show easy shots getting through to hart.

Hart is good but if we want to compete for Champions League we need a more experienced goalkeeper as Hart is still young and learning. He needs to catch the ball at the moment instead of just hitting it away... lol.
Getting someone like Given can give him some more experience, thats why we wanted Brad Friedel.

I'm now hearing a rumour that City are offering £50m for David Villa. I can see him going to Chelsea though as he is the striker that Scolari is probably looking for and I don't see how we can attract him to play for us. Only his wages would make him happy enough to join us... lol.

Villa is a strange deal, I'm having a sense of the whole of the Ronald one around it. I am not going to get to excited about it, it's about 45% we could pull it off. We're the only club in for him, if we sign him it'll be more than 50mill, it will be around 65/70. And we're the only club who can afford the 250,000 a week. He needs to come because his club are is in MASSIVE debt.

Oh and if we do sign a keeper it's with Harts consent. We're looking for one with Hart, he has agreed that we can sign a keeper to help him learn. Which is why it's not really a major thing, however the defender and striker are.

[Andeeh]

We was going to sign villa in main transfer window if i recall but it never worked out.

hmm pennant should be off soon

It would be great to have Villa on are team, but I'm not too bothered if we don't get him. As long as we deffinitly get a striker that we know can play in the Premier League, then I will be happy.

I would be more than please to bring Given in as he can give Hart a lot of experience and in 5-10 years time he will hopefully be in the England number 1 and a world class goalkeeper. (hopefully still playing for us. )

Hart is so bad,
