Transfer Deadline Day

[LeftyHoges]

Only 2 hours left until end of deadline and no HUGE surprises as yet.

Keane back to Spurs is intriguing, but I'll be surprised if it happens. Although there are many reports of a medical.

Praying like hell the Gunners can work something out for Arshavin.

Bentley or Jenas to Inter Milan for Quaresma is insane! Why the hell would Inter want Bentley?

And there is a rumour that Avram Grant may take over from Tony Adams at Pompey! Adams can feel very hard done by if this is even remotely true.

Chelsea and Man U have been pretty quiet through this window. Bankroll troubles maybe? (Probably not, but just throwin it out there)

Lets see what the final two hours bring...

Arshaving isnt going to arsenal is latest I heard, they fell out over personal conditions and he went back to russia.

Chelsea supposedly want robinho but cant imagine citys owners letting him go any time soon.

Sir Alex said we wernt signing anyone in the transfer window at all, we signed 2 people on the first day, I wouldnt put a last minute deal past him.

Transfer deadline? I assume that this is the same as a trading deadline?

What time was this? According to Football365 at quarter to 3 it was still on...

Chelsea want to do a straight swap, Robinho for Drogba, I've heard. Any truth?

And you're right, I'm waiting for that last minute deal from SAF. Don't think he'd be sitting back twiddling his thumbs on deadline day.

I say, this is proper english old chap. I'm a slightly different pond than those guys but the EPL is the greatest league in the world of any sporting code, hands down. (For me anyway)

Very similar yes, except these teams trade a player for cash, not for another player. In most circumstances anyway.

Looks like Keane is on his way to London for a medical .. crazy stuff .. Spurs sell their 2 strikers and less than a year later buy them back again ...

[LeftyHoges]

N'Zogbia gets his wish and gets the hell out of Toontown. Can't say I blame the bloke and now moves to a strong side in Wigan.

Poor Ryan Taylor though, sent to near certain death...

[LeftyHoges]

And now the big news:

'Pool and Spurs agree a figure for Robbie Keane with an hour to go. Looks signed sealed and delivered.

Arsenal and Zenit agree a figure for Arshavin, but Arshavin owes Zenit money, holding up the deal. Come on Andrei, cough up the dough, we need you!

Arshavin deal tied up .... he's to wear the lucky #13 shirt

Nice, funny as hell Dave!

And now City have allegedly paid the 25 million for Roque Santa Cruz. OK, this is getting a little nuts now...

Edit: Nope, sense has prevailed and no deal for Santa Cruz. My bad!

Damn, all my insight into the signing of Shay Givens to City is gone.


Still the best move on the transfer season. Arshavin is second. None of it will matter as Man U is going to take the EPL title anyway.

Yeah, I sure as hell wish the gunners picked up Given. Hell, for 6 million why wouldn't you?

Man U will take the title this year as they're the only team thats stayed out of any trouble. Yeah, they had a few 1-0 wins but they still count as 3 points at the end of the day.

And I love the fact that everyone claims they're injury-ravished and depleted when they have maybe 1 or 2 consistent first-teamers and another 2 or 3 sometimes first teamers out of their squad of 25.

It's true boys and girls, money can buy you the title (Unless your Liverpool), hell just look at Chelski! (That little smiley means that Chelsea are a bunch of tits!)
