January Transfer Window Thread

Hart is so bad,

Don't try and look for a argument because I believe most people in here have got passed that stage.

Instead of looking for fights on HxF maybe go and decide which club you wish to support for more than six weeks? :S

Here are some of the transfer stories this morning, which include news that Stewart Downing and Scott Parker are NOT for sale, West Ham United and Middlesbrough have said.
9.09 Rangers striker Kris Boyd is hoping Newcastle United target Barry Ferguson will stay at Ibrox.
8.53 Premier League target Scott Brown wants to stay at Celtic, insisting he is enjoying playing for the SPL champions. Portsmouth have been linked with a £9million bid for the midfielder.
8.42 West Ham United have told Sky Sports News that Manchester City target Scott Parker is not for sale. The midfielder was understood to be close to sealing a £12million move to City.
8.27 West Ham United striker Carlton Cole is hoping team-mate Craig Bellamy stays at Upton Park. Tottenham have failed with a bid for Bellamy, while Man City are also interested in the Wales international.
8.20 Senegal forward El Hadji Diouf is planning talks with Ricky Sbragia to discuss whether he has a future at Sunderland. He has been linked with a move to Blackburn and is eager to play regularly.
8.11 According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham are close to agreeing a £15million fee with Portsmouth to re-sign Jermain Defoe, who is looking to leave Fratton Park.
7.58 Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson has again insisted that the club will not be selling any of their big names this month, with Stewart Downing wanted by Spurs and Gary O'Neil chased by former club Portsmouth.

Also to whoever said the Everton story, I think it's most probably true because David Moyes was at the Blackpool - Wolves game.

i hope we keep hold of diouf, he showed on saturday how good he is and he was by a long way the best player on the pitch.
just no-one has faith in his ability.

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. )

How do you know Villa can play in the Premier League?

modeste m'bami has been linked with a 6mill move to sunderland.

I heard Terry Henry coming to Southampton for 9M..

No really, I'd love for Toure in place of Richards, anyway at the mo for city, I think with SWP out we put zab right mid micah righ back and onuoha and dunne CB's instead of keeping same and put Vass straight in cos Vass if awful.

Scott Parker isn't too good but Johno too come back..

I don't think City need a new striker like Santa Cruz.

Caicedo holds up the ball very well and Robinho is great at running onto passes, perfect partnership. Santa Cruz can run onto the ball and head but not as good as Rob.

Wouldn't mind Downing on Loan as Petrov is injured.

Reading through these: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...th/7807491.stm & http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...750139,00.html

Spurs and Portsmouth are £1.5m off in valuations of Defoe, and Stephen Appiah is training with Spurs this week, with a view of signing a permanent contract.

Arsenal's main target was Inler but now Wenger doesnt want him and according to Sky Sports, Stephan Ireland is now the main target tbh he could work well with Cesc, cesc holding back and Irleand going forward

City won't sell Ireland.
