January Transfer Thread: Speculation, Lies, Absolute Cr*p and Bosman Rumours

[Duncan Shaw]

Twitter is the worst thing to happen to humanity since flared trousers. The world will be undeniably better off when it dies.

Not sure it will TBH. Well not the concept of Twitter anyway. It is just the easiest way to communicate and quickly share information.

Call me old fashioned but if people want to communicate they should do it by scribe and papyrus.

Seriously I really dislike twitter, not just because of the bollocks factor but people (ie: players) say things on the spur of the moment that they regret and can get abused on it.

twitter is a brilliant tool used correctly, i put out a tweet last week for a ticket for bradford, i asked all the kingswinford lions club followers to retweet it and for them to ask all of those to retweet as well. this was a brilliant way of getting thousands to see the request and by 3 pm on the day of the match i had 6 come back with available tickets. superb!

In the words of Monty Python (sort of)

You unlucky barstard, you unlucky, unlucky barstard!!

Sissoko would improve our team practically instantly. He and Westwood would give us a great platform to play from.

[Small Rodent]

Give the man a relegation clause and get him in.

[Mazrim]

Moussa Sissoko. That's more like it.

A poster on VT says we enquired about Sissoko last week, fee £3.5m but wants £75k a week, therefore were not taking it any further

£75k a week? I highly, highly doubt that. If he could command those sort of wages it wouldn't be two clubs in relegation worry trying to sign him.

[peter w]

Players who cost 3.5m who are relatively young and not at teh top of their profession do not earn 75k per week. heis agent may have asked for it as a negotiation opener but he'll be getting a third of that if he's lucky.

Nope, it would just be QPR.

[danlanza]

Pubehead would sign him just to piss on our fire, i am sure of it.

[Damo70]

He is out of contract at the end of the season, so knowing he can ask for a big signing fee and wages then he won't sell himself short now.

Yeah, but he's still getting absolutely nowhere near £75k a week from any club that would be put off signing him now for 3m.

Please sign Sissoko Villa he would be ideal. I severely doubt he's asking for £75,000 a week.

[VinnieChase84]

Matt kendrick has tweeted saying in his opinion this link is 'possible' rather than 'probable'

[PaulWinch again]

Well I hope it comes to fruition because he's exactly what we need.
