January Transfer Window Gossip and Stuff

[Mr JP Fugley]

Andreas Hinkel has joined t'Hoops from Sevilla for £1.9m we really needed to strengthen the back 4. Let's hope for another full back.

Rumours continue about moves for Barry Robson (Dundeed Utd) and James McFadden (Everton). I'd get that back 4 fixed personally. Also a new keeper, see below. The lad at Dundee Utd looks the part.

It's surely only a matter of time till we hear where Boruc is going to. Similarly for Zurawski, rumour has it LA Galaxy are interested.

[Something Else]

Looks like Hutton is gonna stay with the Gers unless Man Utd come up with a great offer. He has already rejected the advances of Spurs if what they say is true. Let's face it G.Neville looks ready for the scrapheap and United could do with another right-back. How is the lad. I've only seen the odd champions league game with him but he looks solid.

[Mr JP Fugley]

He's a cracking player, just came into his game over the last year or so. Will get even better with time and top quality coaching. I'd take him without thinking once about it.

Good in defence and great going forward. Has developed a little bit of the "light in his loafers" recently but I think he's been taught that.

Unfortunately for you has just signed a 5 year contract so it would probly have to be silly money. Tho' silly money to us is going rate for the EPL. It would be pure profit for the hun as he is a product of their academy.

What do you think of Boruc to the EPL.

[Something Else]

Boruc should make the transition easy methinks. It's not so hard for keepers to settle in as long as they don't drop early clangers.
Is £8-12m silly money for Hutton. That's the fee been mentioned.

[Something Else]

English Roon 0-2 Great finish. Ltrz Villa.

He's not worth that just now but definitely will be if he keeps going the way he is.

I say that because I don't think he's actually proven it yet, however I think he will. He's shown enough in the Champs League and at International level to be given the chance.

£8m would be a decent buy but you would be buying potential to a certain extent. The higher figures are probly just because of the long contract.

[Something Else]

At 23 he's getting on a bit for an unfinished youngster.
Ronaldo and Rooney are younger and already vastly developed.
Defenders do take longer to mature, it's true.
I'd be happy with £8m for the lad maybe with an appearance/success based add on for another few mil.

He's hardly what I would call an unfinished youngster, I just think he's still improving. With more top level football and coaching he will achieve his full potential. That's what he would get at a club like Man Utd.

I think your idea of paying the £8m with add-ons would be a good idea and the best way forward.

Yup, it is for huns.

Unless of course you get rid of your best player (Hutton, as discussed)

That's the cunt about not qualifying for the knockout stage of the Champs League. There's just no money in the WAFA cup.

Oh sorry, I thought you were taking your leave.

Good to see you're not going then.

[Something Else]

I'm sure Chelsea will be splashing out.
I hear they are after that Johnny Foreigner. He looks to be a good player to be fair.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Update on Boruc. He has signed a new deal with t'Hoops. Reputed to be worth £5.5m to him over 3 years. Not huge by English standards but very substantial in the Scottish League.

[Mr JP Fugley]

New Japonese lad supposed to be joining t'Hoops.

Name of Koki Mizuno, apparentement the work permit is being sorted out over the next few days. He's played a few internationals but doesn't meet the 75% rule.

Thing is, that might mean Naka is on his way. Or indeed might mean he is staying.

[Spider_dude]

any more noose jp?

[Skweeky]

what's the 75% rule?

[manker]

what's the 75% rule?
Haftae play in more than 75% of the international matches for your country before you're granted a work permit in this one.

Well, that's the theory but it rarely works like that. It all depends how good your club lawyer is. For instance, Man Utd signed Anderson this summer and he's played for Brazil all of twice.

[manker]

any more noose jp?
Noose seems to be that daft cow merkin golf anchor woman's specialist subject.

Daft cow: "I think the only way to deal with Tiger Woods is for the other players to lynch him in a back alley."



There's just no place for women in sport analysis :no:

Looks like scouserpool aren't going to be transferred to Dubai. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/7203724.stm) Good.


"People are worried that I might take money away from the Texas Rangers [Hicks' baseball franchise] to go to Liverpool," Hicks said.

"But it is just the reverse. Liverpool is going to throw off lots of extra money which, if I choose to, I can use for the Rangers or the Dallas Stars ice hockey team." Man Utd's merkins > Liverpool's merkins.

Celtic have signed Georgios Samaras on loan and Kozi Mizuno on a permanent basis.
Go on Bhoys. Busy day in the market today.

[manker]

After going bonkers on shite yet expensive players in the summer and recently signing the perennially injured Woodgate, Spurs now reckon Hutton is a done deal - where are they getting their money from.
Jew bastards.

[Something Else]

Maybe they sold Martin Jol to McDonalds. I noticed their profits were up.

[manker]

:lol:

[Agrajag]

Hutton has signed after his personal terms were improved.

Believed to have received £1M sign on fee and £33K a week wages.

Cousin move to Fulham rejected as he played for about 20 mins for Lens before going to the huns. Too many national boundaries in 1 season.

Celtic have a £2.25M option to buy Samaras if the loan works out.

[Something Else]

Samaras would have to be a fool not to score 10 goals for the Bhoys this season.

Spurs FFS I wanted Hutton for Utd. :fist:

[manker]

Samaras is an awful player; no pace, no skill, sulks a lot and didn't get many games for City last year - even when they went six months without a home goal. That's how bad he is.

Like benji said tho', he'll prolly do well in the Scotch league.

[Agrajag]

I'm not familiar with his work at all.

Which is obviously because he didn't play much. Wasn't he a Stuart Pears signing.

[manker]

I think so. I do know that he cost about 7 million and scored maybe 5 goals in 2 years.

Unsuited, apparently, to the fast pace of premiership football.
I just think he's shite.

[Agrajag]

An ideal deal for the SPL then.

We've signed that wee Mizuno lad as well. Tho' I think that's as much for merchandising as anything else.

[manker]

A tiny tad tautological with the 'wee' there, n'est pas.

I think the neutral's favourite piece of transfer news of the week was Dennis Wise to Newcastle as Director of Football. How strange.
I suppose, tho', they need a contingency for when Keegan walks out next month.

Homophobe.

And also I think Wise is a wee cunt. Used to see him nipping people on the cawk and stuff to wind them up and get them booked. I really hate that.

Go in hard and tackle someone, fair do's. But pish like that and spitting, nah it's cunt behaviour.

That's like a decent night out in Neewcastle, but.

[manker]

I don't think anyone in football likes him.

He did it to Nicky Butt when he was playing for Chelski, reached up inside his shorts and, presumably, put his finger up Butt's arse or something else. Butt twatted him and got sent off.

Nicky Butt should totally beat seventeen shades of shit out of him tomorrow and call it an 'initiation prank'.

[Agrajag]

Maybe he did it for the irony.

Newcastle United have signed teenage Italian striker Fabio Zamblera from Atalanta for an undisclosed fee.

The 17-year-old is a product of the Atalanta academy and joins Newcastle on a four-and-a-half year deal.

Zamblera has been capped at Under-18 level for Italy and represented his country in the 2007 Under-17 European Championships.

about feckin' time we bought someone, like.

Still no good defenders tho', ffs.

Absolutely, like you said he's good enough to shine in the SPL but that's damned by faint praise.

To be fair tho' if you look outside of the(normal)top 4 in England there's not a lot to see and they're only being propped up by TV money. Most of them don't have a look in compared to the Hoops when it comes to stadium size, average crowd, season ticket sales, worldwide appeal etc.

[Something Else]

There are some quality players outside the top 4 in the prem..

Tottenham, Man City, Spurs, Blackburn, Everton, Newcastle Portsmouth all have a couple of quality players.

Sorry didn't explain myself very well. It's more the clubs / teams I meant rather than the individual players. Obviously with the money available for transfers and wages they can attract some of the best in the World.

Feck, that's gotta be the slowest burning rod dans l'histoire. You've been doggedly avoiding the bite for nigh on three years :happy:

One can't fail but to admire the two Glasgow teams (unless one supports one or t'other) for their results in the Champions League this season given the level of opposition they face week in week out - which is poor.
The way in which they're financially structured is probably better than anything save, possibly, Arsenal in the English Premier league.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Actually the huns are, or at least were a financial mess. They are now basically David Murray. He had to do a new share issue recently. Looking to raise £55M. Eventually he had to put up £50M of it himself. They were about £70M in debt before that.

That's why they were so desperate to get the money for Hutton.

T'Hoops on the other hand have just built their new training ground which was paid for out of profits. They budget without allowing for champs league money so any they get is a big bonus.

[manker]

I didn't think it was like that at Ibrox, I read a series of articles in the autumn specifically about how they (Celtic and Rangers) were structured and it seemed as if all was rosy. By Chick Young, if I recall - he's normally pretty good.

Hutton was awesome against United yesterday, btw. I only saw the highlights but he seems to be a fine player.

[Mr JP Fugley]

As discussed, really good going forward and I think he will get better with EPL competition and coaching. Probly help our National team that will.

I'm ignoring the Chick Hun effort btw.

[manker]

:lol: :naughty:

The articles weren't by him, I don't remember who they were by. I was linked to them from a discussion much like this one but on a different internet.

[Sextent]

Celtic in

Hinkel

Mizuno
Robson

Hutchinson
Samaras

Boruc signs new contract.

Celtic out

Jarosic
Magic

Neither of whom could get a game anyway.

Nice bit of business on the playing front.

huns in

Dailly
Davis

huns out

Carroll
Hutton
Ehiogu
Cousin (possible)

So they've got rid of their current top scorer and their best player and brought in Christian Dailly and some Fulham reject.

[Something Else]

Ehiogu was the best the huns had to offer. :unsure:
