The not so Official January Transfer Rumour Thread

[themn]

What a surprise. He was never leaving, and certainly wasn't leaving them for us.

Whilst I suspect you are correct, remember that this is the gossippy, speculative/bollocks, transfer thread.

Ah yes. apologies. In that case we are definitely signing Sneijder and Alonso and we will get 20m from Newcastle for Caroll.

 

[gene hughes]

Holy shit a 4m signing on fee for a player you already have!

 

[Y1]

After signing Theo has gone meh again.

 

[Shadey]

That only happens to other teams..

Liverpool midfielder Joe Cole is in talks with West Ham about a return to Upton Park, according to #SSN sources

 

[Fabio]

Stan Collymore just said micah Richards is in the Chelsea reception tonight.

That's talk sport that is

 

[#roadred]

On Holtby:
He said "I wouldn't even rule out Liverpool, even if it would be tough for my dad - he's an Everton fan"
I would prefer to sign players who would actually show an interest in wanting to play for the club instead of just using it as a stepping stone.

They bless their players when they leave?!

They clearly fucking cursed Carroll.

 

[Rafiagra]

Love how Pardew is at pains to play the 'big club' card as though he doesn't give a shit Ba has gone. You're fooling no one!

 

[Hansern]

Ha, you know its silly season when Sneijder is spotted at JLA.
Its from a decent Norewgian lad, but Zidane mrk II

We've (probably) sold Joe Cole to West Ham. But we'll be paying 3 million to Cole.

We should do a commercial (i.e. LFC) like that M&S advert:-

"This is no ordinary club"
"This is a transfer paying club"
"Both inwards and outwards"

You know what I mean - we pay players to sign for us and to leave us.

 

[nealmac]

Seriously, guys. Who gives a fuck? We've got rid of him. This time 6 months ago people would have took that offer in a heartbeat.

We can't pass up an opportunity to highlight how shit we are a his footie management-administration stuff.

 

[Red_Water]

According to SSN:

We have spent 140 million since 2008 on home-grown players. I have used 3 super computers, a calculator and 2 rulers and as of yet I haven 't been able to work out why!


My analysis continues. I shall report back soon.

I agree.

But it's hardly an "Andy Carroll" deal.

Maybe they mean English players.

 

[Red_Water]

No, that will hopefully remain to be the shittest deal in the history for LFC. Any future deal like that will probably mean administration the following week.

Regarding Cole, I think he has cost us between 10 and 15 mill since we signed him. I think that is pretty shit in anybody's book.

 

[Red_Water]

Maybe they mean English players.

British players I believe.

My calculations are around trying to understand how we managed to spend 140 million on British players?
