General transfer discussion - January 2010

Did I miss anything?





Didn't think so. 

Never worry.

According to Tom Hicks the next transfer window is going to be 'huge' and he's a man who sticks to his word.

Quality month. Been so impressed with the activity.

Robbie Keane was clearly that good that a year later he is moved to Celtic. Rafa got berated in the press when he let him go, well the way i see it he got top money for him at the right time.

will always disagree about keane. he got very limited football at anfield, wasn't given a fair go at it, don't care what anybody says. Did he ever start 3 games in a row? The amount of times Rafa subbed him as well or gave him the last ten minutes of games...I can remember we would be losing or drawing earlier on in the season and instead of bringing keane on, he would bring Ngog on instead. The kop used to go mad.

He was given 6 months. Is that enough time? In my opinion, is it F**k. I always say this as well, we finished 4 points off the league, 5 points more and we would have won it. I would bet my house on it that if keane stayed for the remainder of the season and he was given more games, he would have won us them 5 points just on his own.

Its obviously murderd his confidence now but he is still a great player and i will bet bloody anything on it. You can see hes still a fantastic player whenever he pulls on the Ireland jersey. Next season, somebody like birmingham or sunderland will sign him up and he will still bag 20 goals or so, mark my words!



 

Seems Benjani's gone to Sunderland on loan. SSN.

^^

I thought it was Blackburn he was in talks with. Either way, he's still gone from one sh*te team to another.

Agreed on NK,  when I saw that deal, all I could say was 'WHY?' Top quality player, who can cover all the midfield positions, behind the striker and if need be up top. And we couldn't get him for that price?

Just seen on Sky Sports that Metzelder's contract at Real Madrid runs out in the Summer and he's desperate to jump ship. With Rafa reportedly looking for some free transfers he could be an option this summer. Although Krygiakos is in belting form at the moment. If he carries on we probably won't be looking for a new CB.

why didnt we snap up mido, at 1000 pounds he should have been in our price range

Twente just signed Mihaylov from us. He was already loaned out to them, but now they made the move permanent.
It's a shame, I've been really impressed with him, he's very talented. He'll be the first keeper at Twente next year after Boschker retires.

Nothing you'll be able to read, it's in dutch http://www.vi.nl/Nieuws-item/175803/Mihaylov-nu-definitief-vastgelegd-door-FC-Twente.htm

Fair enough

Seems that Man City might be in for Javi Martinez in the summer, hope not as i'd obviously prefer him here but still.

I also don't know how reliable a source this site is so apologies if it's a notoriously sh*te one.
