Transfer Deadline Day

[SNSUN]

List any key signings here, though clearly White Hart Line is going to experience more personnel changes than a strip club with a pervy manager...

[Robsk II]

Pavlyuchenko - Spartak Moscow to Spurs - £14m

 

Confirmed today.

[Saint Martini]

Ryan Donk from AZ Alkmaar to WBA and Tim Krul from Newcastle to Feyenoord.

Vedran Corluka leaves Man City for Spurs.

 

Not surprising really if you think of it. Why the hell else would they have signed Zabaleta? I was already starting to wonder in what position he would play.

[Alf Tupper]

Portsmouth have signed Algerian defender Nadir Belhadj from Lens on a season-long loan

[Saint Martini]

And Liverpool have signed another double passported 18-year old nobody from South America.

007?

[Merovingian]

yeah Steve because its been proved time and time again Harry is upto this sort of thing isn't it lol. thingy

 

the left/wing back is a decent signing, very quick and champs league experience

 

who are you signing ? And how was the game the other day with 15k attendance which I could hear a pin drop at ?

[Saint Martini]

From the BBC Transfer Live Text:

 

1246: Lots of talk flying around that Man City have entered the race to sign Dimitar Berbatov. The Manchester Evening News website is even running this story.

 

That would be the funniest thing ever!

[Hatch]

That would be the funniest thing ever!

[Scummer]

Surely the window closed last night?

 

No, they extended it by 24 hours.

[Gully]

No, they extended it by 24 hours.

 

Cool, cheers. Footballing world did seem a bit calm last night.

[Scudamore]

Tottenham confirm Man City bid higher than 30 mill

 

That is funny as f::ck for two reasons

 

1) Alex Ferguson will be spitting feathers

2) Berbatov won't want to go there...but Man U won't match that bid

[TopGun]

I'm hearing Man U have gone for Klass-Jan Huntelaar in any case for half the price...

Similar to the Man City / AC Milan / Barcelona Ronaldinho saga then.

 

Barcelona so desperatley wanted Man City to sign him as they were allegedly offerering nearly double the fee for him, yet he didnt want to go to Man City meaning the only viable option for Barcelona to get rid of him was to cut their price and sell to a club he would agree to go to.

 

I feel the Berbatov situation will be very similar. All it takes is for him to dig his heels in and say 'No, im not signing for city' and Spurs will be left with 2 options. Cash in now for £20m or so, rather than being stubborn, or in a year or two's time when he hasnt been playing and has been left to rot in the reserves lose him for nothing!

 

Ideally yes, he is worth what they are asking for him (Especially when you compare that to how much they paid for Bent!), but if he wants to leave, you dont have a choice but accept what someone is willing to pay, or lose him for a lot less in the future.

 

Spurs would be a lot better off without him now and £20m in the bank than the thought of a £30m player sat in the resi's doing jeff all!

[Saint Martini]

I'm hearing Man U have gone for Klass-Jan Huntelaar in any case for half the price...

 

In that case they won't get anyone. No way will Ajax sell Huntelaar on the deadline day for that price. Manu will have to pay something special to get Huntelaar now (at least 20 million plus and even then I'm not sure Ajax will accept).

[saint lard]

Real Madrid make 45 million euros bid for Berbatov.

Im not 100% sure but is it not only England which has the transfer deadline? Meaning Ajax would have time to replace him?

[Saint Martini]

Holland extended the transferdeadline as well, but to be fair. Ajax cannot replace Huntelaar, there's no way they can get a striker of similar quality to come to Holland. Besides that, he's their captain and they've had very bad experiences with selling players near the deadline (Ibrahimovic and Sneijder for instance). I don't think he'll go although Ajax have already gotten a replacement for him in Cvitanich from Banfield in Argentina.

[Saint Martini]

 

They've gotten a replacement but he's not of the same quality as Huntelaar hence Ajax not wanting him to leave. They want to win the title for the first time in 5 years (which for Ajax is very very very very long).:cool:

[saint lard]

Mega bucks Man City to make bid for David Villa.

 

Rumour has it that Spurs are looking to sign Heskey,no honestly,i kid you not.

[Saint Martini]

Why the hell would Spurs want Heskey? I thought they just Pavlov.... chenko? But I guess we shouldn't question Ramos, afterall he's doing just as well as Jol last year after spending even more....

[Saint Martini]

Damn, I gotta play a match myself now... I wish I could stay on the innernet for a great transferperiod climax (almost more interesting then watching football )

[the scud]

Man City also have tabled a bid for German foward Gomez

[the scud]

Stoke to sign Sores from Crystal Palace

[Eyes k8]

Are the Man City Abu Dhabi people the same ones who were linked with you or different?

[Ludwig]

Different.

 

And Barton to Pompey - lmfao.

[saints-cris]

Barton to Everton now.

[Ludwig]

No, it's definitely Pompey, apparently. Big lol.

[saint lard]

Different.

 

And Barton to Pompey - lmfao.

 

I heard this also,orignally just said a top ten Prem club in for Barton on SSN,i too thought it might be the Skates.

[Saint Matty 76]

He's at Portsmouth, accordingly.

[Andy_Porter]

Barton to Pompey would be hilarious, especially if it means Diarra is off.

 

Please be true....

[Gully]

Going clubbing in Portsmouth just became more dangerous.

[EastleighSoulBoy]

yeah Steve because its been proved time and time again Harry is upto this sort of thing isn't it lol. thingy

Intrigued as to why a Skate would be listening to a Scummers game! But then they do frequent this board. Obviously all part of their 'pony fiddlers obsession'!

Barton V Dyer. Winner gets the pick of the handbags.

[Saint Martini]

Ok, own up. Who texted this to the BBC Live Text coverage?

 

1939: "I've heard Man City and Manyoo have settled on sharing Berbatov, he will play in home games only... bloke down the pub told me."

Dave, Southampton, via text
