January Transfer Rumors

Not yet Madness but I reckon he could be Chris Baird's replacement (roughly same price) rather than Tomas Rincon.

 

We have truly become the try before you buy club. I think it makes good business sense to have a look at how a player adapts to a new club, new system, new city/country.

 

What a cock-up by Roma on the Stekelenberg transfer saga.
They pull out off deal when he is on the plane to sign for Fulham, but they are unable to
get a replacement in by 18:00 Transfer closure time in Italy so they recall Stekelenberg!!!!
Same happen with Giganac last season from Marseille.
But what I don't get is that they had all transfer window to do business and get a replacement,
so what went wrong, especially as we were in for him in the summer. Now I can see us getting
guzumped in the summer as if reported the deal will go now through in the summer.

And what will this do to Schwarzer's form who now knows he might be surplus ?
He doesn't have any competition for the rest of the season.

 

A new meaning to the phrase, "the deal's up in the air"?


Sorry, SuperBri, shouldn't be frivolous - I agree with all your points and especially about Schwarzer.

 

Gossip this afternoon said we were in for Butland,with a loan back deal. so this one seems to have gone tits up.
We do need a keeper,if not in this window, then in the summer

 

I'd love it if it was us.

 

Eyong Enoh is on his way, according to BBC, and Bairdinho stays!

Rumour has it this one fell through because we were told a work permit would be 'refused'

 

An interesting assessment from Yuri Varbanov, a Bulgarian fan familiar with our new Bulgarian (the broken English is not me!):

 

Hooray !!

[It's probably only me, but I have a feeling that Jol doesn't like Chris and he'll be gone in the summer. Whatever, he's exactly the type of squad player we need for the rest of this season. We still need to build on our League position, if only to get the extra revenue that means.]

 

Sounds as though what the Captain was saying about the Italians getting their own back because of the Berba signing was correct. Apparently Roma pulled out because Fiorentina renaged on selling them goal keeper Emiliano Viviano at the last minute.

 

Ajax confirms, Enoh on loan to Fulham for 6 months with option to buy

 

I was sorry to see that Brek Shea the tallented American winger has gone to Stoke.
At 22 and only 2mil, he could turn out to be the new CD.
Will be interesting to se if he hacks it in the PREM!.

 

Agreed rosc. The bummer of all transfers though must be Jack Butland going to the same Stoke and for only £3m.

What were we doing??
