January Transfer Window - Rumours, Links, B*llsh*t and Made-Up Nonsense

[Mazrim]

I'm bracng myself for poxy fucking Spurs trying to hog the limelight tomorrow and Sky falling over themselves to regurgitate every juicy tidbit from the baggy faced arsehole ad nauseum.
They'll be jamming the airwaves with their lillywhite noise so nothing else can get through.
Keeping everybody waiting with baited breath right up until midnight and beyond to see if their fax has gone through.

"Yeeeeeaaauuurrrr, we didnt fink there wuz a deal there bat the cheermun did the bizniz and weeeaar deloited. Triffic bitta bizniz.

Stay tuned to Sky Spurs news, the home of Spurs news.

what will piss me off more is if they pull another Van der Vaart out of the bag, and sign someone like Benzema for 10 million. It would be sickening. Wankers.

Mods, can we make it a rule that if anyone uses 'lol' on this message board that they be tracked down by bloodhounds, smeared with Princes salmon paste and fed to a killer whale please? From now on. Thanks.

He'll probably bring in Xavi for £5m, with his luck in the transfer window.

Tomorrow morning, SSN will snatch two minutes with Redknapp, sat in his Range Rover, entering SpursMegaLolopolis or whatever their training ground is called, in which he says that he doesn't expect to do any business (during the conversation, he will cancel incoming calls on his phone at least three times) and that it's difficult in January yada yada yada.

This "interview" will then be repeated every 15 minutes until the window closes, and, if you watch said channel for anything more than an hour or two, will annoy you so much, you'll want to fish into your skull and pluck your eyeballs out to make it go away.

Luck... or well placed backhanders Boris Becker would be proud of.

[Monty]

Beautiful work, Maz. Though you misspelt "lahckily" and "aaaht" ("luckily" and "out").

[Mazrim]

I wont be watching SSN tomorrow. I'll only check in to watch if I hear that White Hart Lane has been annihilated by solar radiation.

Chelsea prepare to smash British transfer record to secure £50 million deal for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres

Chelsea are planning to make a £45 million cash offer for Fernando Torres, which would smash the British transfer record and, they hope, secure his move to Stamford Bridge. Add-ons to the deal would push it up to Liverpool’s valuation of £50 million for the 26 year-old, who submitted a transfer request on Friday.

By Jason Burt and Rory Smith 11:00PM GMT 30 Jan 2011

The Premier League champions will make a final decision on Monday morning on whether to deliver the offer or make a revised bid. The final decision will rest with owner Roman Abramovich.

Liverpool were in talks on Sunday with Aston Villa to sign Ashley Young and are understood to have had a £12 million offer rejected for the midfielder. It is believed that they will make a renewed bid on Monday — if they agree to sell Torres — which would match Villa’s valuation of £18 million for a player who has just 18 months left on his contract.

It is understood that Liverpool co-owner John W Henry was in direct talks with Villa counterpart Randy Lerner over the weekend. Henry also held talks with Kenny Dalglish and Damien Comolli, director of football strategy, as the club started to make contingency plans should Torres go today.

My arse.

[dave.woodhall]

So if you say on this site you went out to lunch with an attractive looking woman and you played football in an academy it means you're lying?

Damn, I wish I was a boring nobody who isn't trying to be successful in life!

Your mum taking you for your birthday tea doesn't count, even if your name is Will.

The Guardian seemed to say that this 'conversation' between Randy and Henry went something like this:

"Gee, Randy, can we buy that Ashley Young from you?"
"No."
"Alright, bye then."

You keep referring to that so much, one could be forgiven for thinking you actually want it to happen.

If they offered 20 plus million for Young with 18 months on his contract I am sure we would sell. It would be mad not too, especially given the indications that he won't be signing a new one.

RE Gareth Bale. This time last season he had not scored a hatrick against the European Cup holders in the San Siro, while also being one of the most consistent attacking threats to top sides in the champions league and premiership. He is not worth 40 million and I would sell were I Spurs at that, and I think they will as their Chairman is good at selling at the right time, but he has earned the reputation as one of the rising stars of world football.

I thought The Telegraph reporting that they'd made a bid yesterday was worth posting. Why the fuck would I want it to happen?
