January Transfer Window 2010/2011 Season Rumours/Signings

atpbx · 13 Jan 2011 at 18:57

I wish United would do something transfer wise, like take the opertunity to dump O'Shea and Gibson mabye.

DanH84 · 13 Jan 2011 at 22:06

I think Gibson will be gone by the summer at least. Definitely good enough for some clubs but we can do better.

Where are they getting all this money from?

5.9m is ridiculously low in this market, doub't they'll succeed.

LOL

Its soo funny how people underestimate the finicial power stoke have. (well in terms of mid table clubs)

We are a well run club with a local businessman backing us (owner of bet365)
we have a wage structure and are mainly operated debt free. (Thanks to Mr Coates)

Anyway Ba is having his medical tomorrow

You ****'s

Let's see if we hijack the Demba Ba deal

Has anyone else had enough of Holloway? He calls the bid for Charlie Adam disgraceful and then goes and bids 20K on Bradley Wright Phillips. What a two faced ****.

Second time he's tried to **** over his former club Plymouth after he ****ed them over when he was manager. Hate the mouthy little hypocritical **** with a passion.

He was funny at first, but I just can't stand him anymore.

Pigeon_Killer · 13 Jan 2011 at 23:20

He's nothing more than a media whore.

Plymouth Argyle fans thought that Ian Holloway was something different.

It turns out he's just like any other manager, in fact, he's worse because of his constant pledges of love for Plymouth Argyle Football Club.
Has any manager in the history of Argyle ever let the fans down as much as Holloway has?

The former Queens Park Rangers manager often spoke about loyalty and his love of the Argyle fans - the Green Army. He spoke with a passion, he spoke of leading Argyle to the Premiership and his frequent rallying of calls to arms were legendary.

Argyle fans bought into Holloway's enthusiasm, they believed that he was 'the one', a good honest guy who we can all stand beside, shoulder to shoulder.
The Bristolian was the Green pied piper, preaching loyalty to not only the fans but to the players as well.

We took it all in, devouring every last drop at the temple of Ian Holloway.

Except that Holloway was a fake, his words were just sound bites for an eager reporter, blatant self-promotion to grab a headline or two.
His promises were empty, his musings were false and his vision for Plymouth Argyle built on deception.

Manager's come and go, that's excepted in football but Holloway was different, he pledged allegiance, three weeks before he left Argyle for Leicester he said: 'I've signed a contract and until my chairman tells me any different, I'm staying here.'

But Holloway betrayed the fans and players of Plymouth Argyle.

Keane to Everton on loan as part of the Pienaar deal, who is going to Spurs at some point, he met Redknapp today, but might or might no be this window. Chelsea and Bayern have spoken to Pienaar's agent, and because of what's happened with Beckham, Redknapp has had to offer Keane along with what ever else, but apparently it's nothing at all. We'll see in the next few days.

syke · 13 Jan 2011 at 23:22

Keane better not go to Everton

say City finish above Arsenal this year, how long do you think fans will support the youth development not spending big angle? What about if both City AND Spurs overtake them in the league?

I think it'll last as long as Arsenal are qualifying for the CL. Bearing in mind the nouveau rich plus improvements at WHL I would say that realistically that is a par results.

Arsenal's failures to be competitive in terms of trophies (due to whatever reason) in the mid-late noughties are arguably more of an issue than their league position at the moment. Five years ago I would have said 4th place would be an underachievement whereas nowadays it is more of a realistic goal.

BWP back in the Prem? Never did I see the day.

Normally i would be worried but i think this is almost certainly a done deal now. German press said its completed on him passing a medical

We have been linked with him since the beginning of last season so its good to finally/fingers crossed get him.

and dodge a bullet in trying to sign c.cole

aaron333 · 13 Jan 2011 at 23:34

Lol

You didn't see Ba on SSN saying he loves west ham then?

It's the price that's going to settle the deal, I can't see us matching your £5.9 mil bid tbf.

Well its plain to see he is a bit of a mecernary 2bh. Throws his toys out of the pram twice now. Once to force a move to stuttgart and then to force a move to England.

He will probably say anything to get what he wants

5.9 million is not that much on the grand scheme of things. K.Jones cost us £7 million :eek:

stoke1863 · 13 Jan 2011 at 23:48

WTF

Ba has been tracked by Stoke since last January when they were quoted £18m for the Senegal forward - but Pulis is trying to take advantage of Ba's fall out with his German club.

If we get him for £6.9 mill that will be some turn around

An ITK on NSNO forums has said it's done. Harry doesn't like Keane that much.

Robert1986 · 14 Jan 2011 at 06:16

Can't wait to the Fifa 11 update and see everyone using Dzeko and Tevez upfront. :/ Might put Lindergard in goal and see how he does.

Why are Spurs supposedly still trying to do a loan for Beckham, when asked about Beckham and Utd game the other day Redknapp said, even if they can get Beckham sorted theres no way he'll play he's not match fit, he wouldn't play a game for at least a couple of weeks.......

So if they get him now they pay a massive insurance fee, ridiculous wages, he won't be match fit for at least a couple of weeks and he's due back to Galaxy in under 4 weeks now, seriously what are Spurs thinking?

Are Spurs fans really going to buy millions of quids of Beckham/Spurs shirts when they wouldn't normally buy a shirt, just because he makes a few 5-10 minute sub appearances?

I'd like to assume fans from no club are that stupid.

BaZ87 · 14 Jan 2011 at 12:51

Sky are reporting that talks between Pienaar and Chelsea have broken down and that he'll sign a pre-contract agreement with a major european club in the next 48 hours. I thought somebody said on here that he'd agreed terms with Spurs?

cm1179 · 14 Jan 2011 at 12:52

i think beckham is paying his own insurance but i take your point.

i personally would like to see beckham involved in the off the pitch role only. he will slow us down and isn't worth rocking the wages boat if we're only going to get 20 minutes from him from a few games.

pienaar deal sounds interesting though, keane would do well at everton and it's time we got shot of him.
