Looks like we are going to see Keane in Claret and Blue finally then.

Wigan have had a million or so accepted for Westwood haven't they? I would go and get Al habsi from Bolton - think he looks a hell of a prospect.

West Ham sign Tottenham striker Robbie Keane on loan until the end of the season.
Inevitable.
Still wouldn't want him here.

Al habsi must have the best reflexes of any keeper in the PL. Some of the saves he's pulled off in recent games have been incredible.

Rumours ozzjim- boothroyd said last night 4 teams have enquired about Westwood but as yet no bids lodged- because they are mid table and he's on a free in the summer it seems they will take less than £1m according to local radio- Wigan have not made a bid yet!

Apparently not playing for his club today. I know he's down as a CB, but in these highlights he looks like a LB to me

What fee was quoted for spahic? According to wikipedia they wanted £25m last summer when arsenal were linked to him, huge amount for a 30 yr old- any figures been mooted?

Hang on, i've just realised....

This rumour has come from The Metro who also reckon that Dunne is going to Arsenal.

File under bollocks.

I wouldn't say it is writ in stone. They just appear to provide independent, understandable and comprehensive explanations on some complex football finance issues.

Perhaps the issue you have is that their findings don't suit your arguments?

I'm always happy to read better or more authoritative sources of factual information if you know of any. 

That's a good one coming from you. Have you found an "independent, understandable and comprehensive" explanation of those Spurs wages yet?

I hope Ireland does well for Newcastle. In fact, I hope he's brilliant. Then they'll have to buy the mad pillock
