January 2014 Transfer Thread

[redfromtubebar]

Bet Rodwell goes to the bitters on loan.

[Lee909]

I wouldn't mind taking him on loan if we had a fee to sign him at the end if we wanted.

[mgw100]

A Richards loan would have been great

[Nightcat]

I would love Micah Richards.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Rodwell's big move has worked out really well hasn't it. He basically retired from football.

[Dr Nowt]

Be a good low-risk loan move for someone that.  Two for one on him and Lescott would see us through nicely to the end of the season.

 

Not a chance we'll even try.

[El Rojo]

Just something from the Echo to cheer this thread up a bit.

 

1. Luis Suarez - signed from Ajax for £22.8m, 2011

 

 

2. Daniel Agger - signed from Brondby for £6m, 2006

 

 

3. Daniel Sturridge - signed from Chelsea for £12m, 2013

 

 

4. Javier Mascherano - signed from West Ham initially on loan, 2007

 

 

5. Philippe Coutinho - signed from Inter Milan for £8.5m, 2013

 

 

6. Martin Skrtel - signed from Zenit Saint Petersburg for £6.5m, 2008

 

7. Alvaro Arbeloa - signed from Deportivo La Coruña for £2.5m, 2007

 

 

8. Maxi Rodriguez - signed from Atlético Madrid on a free transfer, 2010

 

 

9. Robbie Fowler - signed from Man City on a free transfer, 2006

 

 

 

Wow. Pretty much explodes the myth that quality and value are never available in this window. Based on that list we should only do business in January!

[Barrington Womble]

Bet Rodwell goes to the bitters on loan.

Don't think they can loan anyone else.

Mitroglou chose Fulham over West Ham then.  Good news if they could pull away from the bottom now, as that leaves one less team West Ham can hope to separate from the flock.

 

He might have put a few points in the credit bank the other night with his amusing handling of The Special Cunt (courtesy Jairzinho), but him being relegated would still be one of the very best shows in town, and far too long in the making.

[Dr Nowt]

In other news, Wilfried Haha being interviewed sounds like a retard reading an upside down autocue.

[The Golden Eel]

I'd take Rodwell for a laugh.  I think he's a bit overrated, well was, he's probably not even rated these days as who knows how good he is.  But he should, in theory, be a decent option for us and it would rile Everton fans ne end.

[Gym Beglin]

Jack Rodwell was the Flat Earth version of Ross Barkley.

[Dr Nowt]

Emmanuel's been Frimponged into the Arsenal bin I see.

 

Yet another of their fabled nursery moving onto pastures new.

 

When's that AMAZING league cup final losing side of theirs going to germinate again?

 

Have they been carbon-frozen without it being reported?

[FanchesterCity]

Rodwell looked like he might go on to improve and become a steady 8/10 type midfielder, but he's as injury prone as hell. I think City took a gamble and it's not paid off, it'd be madness for Liverpool to think about him.

 

Without the injuries, he might have been a good buy.

[FanchesterCity]

In other news, Wilfried Haha being interviewed sounds like a retard reading an upside down autocue.

 

They showed a clip of him signing in at reception... you could see his advisor having to explain to him where to put his name and date etc. I know some of these lads have ability, but how do intelligent players cope with these types on a pitch?.. being good with a ball is great, but you still need a bit of nouse sometimes.

It's a wonder he can get dressed in the morning, based on that little cameo.

 

They showed a short interview with Holtby just before; chalk and cheese.

 

High time we got another German player or two on board, essential ingredient in the dressing room are players with that comes-as-standard excellent mindset and footballing intelligence.

[PestiRed]

Seem to remember Gerrard being injured a lot as a kid. Van Persie was made of glass for a long time (possibly still). It's very possible to turn these players around

[FanchesterCity]

The Fail are claiming that Man City turned down a loan bid for Micah Richards from us.

 

If true, you've dodged a bullet there.

 

He keeps getting injured and it's no wonder when you see him... he's like a body builder (seriously) the guy is overly muscular. It's like he's injured and spends all week in the gym on the weights - I'm stunned as to why City let him do this, his whole body shape is wrong these days.

[Lee909]

Rodgers has said we didn't bid for Richards

[Dr Nowt]

RT @DuckerTheTimes #mcfc saying they'll be no ins or outs. Mangala/Fernando deal won't happen in this window.

[Lee909]

Get Fernando on a free quick

[Dr Nowt]

Mark Ogden ‏@MOgdenTelegraph 2m

Deadline day being deadline day, Porto may now decide they want to cash in on Fernando and drop their price. But that's just a maybe..

[Dr Nowt]

Oliver Kay ‏@OliverKayTimes 6m

Re #MCFC, Fernando & Mangala deals WON'T happen in this window. Porto asking price too high. #MCFC in strong position to sign both in summer

[Dr Nowt]

Avram Grant on Sky Sports News.

 

When did this become the Red Light Window?

[Nightcat]

heh, how much did Port ask and made City back down?
