[Drew.]

Looks like Podolski is off to Inter after all, Travelling their tonight ahead of a loan move. Great guy & will be a big loss around the squad.

[Brother Leon]

Bale to United confirmed.

[Black Dagger]

Time to say goodbye to Nastasic and my heart will break into several pieces.

Jermain Defoe offered to Liverpool in January transfer window - Matt Law, Telegraph

Toronto FC and former England striker is interested in a move to Anfield on loan until the end of the season, but his club are still insisting on a permanent deal

Liverpool have been offered the chance to sign Jermain Defoe as a stop-gap solution to their striker problems Defoe is desperate to return to the Premier League in this month’s transfer window, with Queens Park Rangers and Hull City interested in signing him.

The Telegraph can reveal, however, that Liverpool have also been sounded out over the possibility of bringing 32-year-old Defoe back to England from MLS club Toronto FC.

The main stumbling block over any potential move for Defoe is that Toronto are insisting they do not want to loan him and instead want a £6 million sale.

Defoe, though, hopes Toronto are forced to relent on their refusal to let him join a Premier League club on loan until the end of the season and is aware that his name has been put to Liverpool.

Liverpool are unlikely to be interested in any long-term transfer, but a temporary deal may be tempting for manager Brendan Rodgers.



Wouldn't be against this if it's a loan til the end of the season, a nice option to have until Origi returns to take his spot

[Locke.]

Chelsea very likely to be signing Kramaric :( Wanted us to get him. They'll just be loaning him right back out like they do with all the other good talents they get as well, annoying as ****

**** knows who he is but let's see how the lad does

[Drew.]

There is Reids replacement

[Drew.]

[Shaun]

Permanent or loan? :( will forever piss me off how little we used him.

[Black Dagger]

6 month loan!

[Drew.]

Permanent or loan? :( will forever piss me off how little we used him.

Just a loan but i think its safe to say he won't be coming back after that.. huge loss to the dressing room.

[Locke.]

Hope he can start scoring again now that he has gone back home, and I expect that will be the case now that he has gone back to his blonde hair

[Locke.]

Origi is being recalled for £3m, excellent. Had a good start in France but Lille are bloody terrible and don't create any chances, he should link up well with our front line and be a great back up for Sturridge in the second half of the season.

I'd imagine this definitely spells the end for Mario and Borini as well.

[Locke.]

French defender Loic Perrin has claimed that Arsenal have made contact with him over a possible switch to the Emirates.

The Gunners had already been linked with the 29-year-old, who is valued at about £6m, however this is the first time that the St Etienne player has confirmed the talk. According to Perrin, Arsenal are yet to make any contact with the club.

"I was contacted personally. Arsenal are interested,” he told Le Progres. But for now, there is still no contact with Saint-Etienne.

Perrin tends to play at centre-back but can also play at right-back and in midfield if required - a versatility that appeals to Arsene Wenger.

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-transfer-news-and-rumours-loic-perrin-confirms-interest-gunners-lukas-podolski-exit-confirmed-9957533.html

Surely they are going to get done for tapping up?

[Drew.]

What good is a 29 year old going to do long term, all 3 of our centre backs will be 29 +

[Drew.]

**** sakes, Messi to Chelsea is trending on twitter because of this

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B6nFm25CUAAh6HV.jpg

This happens quite a lot on social media where players follow different players from other clubs.. but following an official club account too is quite a strange one, especially Messi, he doesnt tend to follow many people outside of Barca.

[Locke.]

He knows that Suarez is the main man there now, Messi is surplus to requirements

[Brother Leon]

Messi doing what he has to do to make Barca **** it and give him his annual pay rise.

[Locke.]

Cech to Roma apparantely, will be a brilliant signing for them

[Black Dagger]

Bony looking like a cert for us.

[Drew.]

Good signing, absolute beast & hes great on the ball.. Can play in the CL too.

[Brother Leon]

30m for Bony. The Market is nuts.

[Black Dagger]

It's including his wages and bonuses...

[Locke.]

His goalscoring record is worth way more than £30m.. 71 goals in his last 106 games. Don't think Dzeko will be too pleased though

[Brother Leon]

Barca pretty much having to choose between Enrique and Messi so that is Enrique ****ed. Not the first time Messi has had a manager/teammate sacked or benched.


He's so humble and lovely though.

[Locke.]

Pardew/Palace are after Lambert. I think for him it would be the right move, he is really out of his depth here, we've knocked them back though

[Locke.]

Leicester City beat Chelsea to the signing of Andrej Kramaric after agreeing a club-record fee of £9.7 million last night. The Croatia striker agreed a three-and-a-half-year contract to move from Rijeka.

Chelsea were expected to sign Kramaric and loan him, probably to Leicester, for the rest of the season, but the west London club were unwilling to pay in excess of £8 million.


Great signing, if they give him the supply he will keep them in this league

[Brother Leon]

Valdes accepts offer from United.

[Drew.]

Bonys agent on sky saying its only a matter of time before he signs, could be in a few days.

[Black Dagger]

Probably wait until the end of the month tbh. Sinclair and Nastasic need binning off and I think he's already left the country

[Locke.]

We are in pole position to sign Milner after he's been told by City that there will be no improvement on the contract he has already been offered.

Hopefully we can get him in this month and not have to wait til July

[Black Dagger]

Well he is a silly greedy twat then.

[Brother Leon]

Shaqiri picks Inter over Liverpool.

[Shaun]

who wouldn't

[Brother Leon]

554737789968064512


This will end well

[Drew.]

He has a ridiculous amount of talent, think it might do him some good getting out of this country

[In the Drunk Tank]

Good riddance to the useless show pony

[karl100589]

I support this move, more English players need to move abroad IMO.

[Drew.]

Pards and Yaya teaming up together, this will be beautiful

[Drew.]

Villa sign Carles Gil from Valencia

[BBfanUSA]

Jozy Altidore could be leaving Sunderland (Thank God) to join Toronto FC (Why? There are plenty of teams that want you in Europe)

Jurgen has probably punched a huge hole in the wall in his office with this mass Europe exodus.

[Black Dagger]

Bony is official and Nastasic has gone on loan. Just got to try and rid Sinclair and this window is done

[Novo]

you can call back those 2 bellends from the BJK camp as well

[Black Dagger]

Guidetti can stay put. The fat useless ****

[Drew.]

Gary Mackay-Steven signs a pre contract with Celtic & will join in the summer. Hopefully they don't waste him on the bench, was hoping he'd either stay at Dundee utd or move to the Championship

[Novo]

they will get a fair bit for Telfer in a few years, he is a great player

[Shaun]

Is there much truth in Villareal's Gabriel Paulista to Arsenal? I've read all sorts of stories about him saying his agent's in talks with them, and talk about his release clause being 20m euros.

Either way it seems more likely than the Otamendi/Winston Reid rumours.

[Drew.]

Twitter is pretty lively with that tonight, I think a journalist in Spain has said he'll be signing for us as early as tomorrow. Can't say I've seen too much of him but he seems solid enough, he's quick & he's young so fingers crossed we snap him up.

[Shaun]

We have our first signing!!!!!!!!

Arsenal sign teenage midfielder Krystian Bielik from Legia Warsaw

Arsenal have signed teenage midfielder Krystian Bielik from Legia Warsaw for a reported £2.4m.

Bielik, 17, who underwent his medical at Arsenal last week, signed for Legia from their Polish rivals Lech Poznan last July and has made six appearances in all competitions this season.

Arsenal say the deal "is subject to the completion of regulatory processes".

Bielik, who has appeared for Poland's U16s side, can play in both a holding midfield role and at centre-back.

well.

[Black Dagger]

17?!?!

He looks like an overgrown 12 year old

[Drew.]

I have heard great things about Bielik & there were quite a few clubs after him offering him more money but he went with us, great guy. A huge guy plenty in the centre of midfield, We haven't had that for years.

[Drew.]

****, Chelsea in talks with Cuadrado.. he'll pretty much complete their side playing on the right.

[Shaun]

apparently all we're waiting for re: Paulista is a work permit too, lovely jubbly.

[Shaun]

Although if Football Manager's taught me anything it's that work permits never get approved

[Drew.]

:joker:

Yeah i'm not getting my hopes up with Paulista

[Drew.]

I am getting my hopes up now

United signing some bloke called Dragovic(?) (CB) for 15m apparently

BR on Balotelli: "If you can't press, you can't be a part of the team. It doesn't matter who the player is."
BR: We had about an hour chatting yesterday [with Balotelli]. It’s difficult for him.

Right, someone give us £15m in the next week then

[GiRTh]

[Shaun]

Everyone seems to be saying Paulista is a done deal for 13.5m

Good ol' prudent Arsene battling down from 15m :clap1:

[Drew.]

Loads saying Joel could be going the other way for the rest of the season on loan :think: sending out both Joel and Podolski in the same window without replacements would be odd & risky

[Shaun]

I was expecting joel to go permanently this window tbf

[Shaun]

confirmed :clap2:

559089397124321280

[Drew.]

Get in, never been so happy to see a centre back arriving, we have finally got another Brazilian in the squad too. Hopefully he can make a good career here and make it into the national side. Shame about Joel, he'll do well over in Spain. Will be watching Villarreal whenever i can now though.

559086549829427201

[In the Drunk Tank]

Why are we signing Darren Fletcher ffs

[Brother Leon]

What a dull window. Bloody hell.

[Black Dagger]

Would anybody like Scott Sinclair? We can't shift him xo

[Locke.]

Wanting rid of Sinclair, Milner out of contract, Lampard going to America, are Hart and Richard Wright the only other Englishmen

[Drew.]

Arsene confirms there are no work permit issues and he should be arriving tomorrow

Get it done,Woody. This January can still be saved!

[Shaun]

i have never heard of players commanding £31m fees, this is the kind of world we live in </3

[Drew.]

£31m lol. Great talent but jesus christ how much more does he want to over spend on players.

[Brother Leon]

31m is fair considering the Market. Would prefer that than 25m for Coleman at least.

[GiRTh]

Ravel Morrison has agreed to a four-year deal with Lazio from West Ham.Is this true. A Four year loan? Whats he done to be shipped out like that . I Cant find anything only the assault charges that were dropped. Any body got any ideas what he's done?

Source (http://www1.skysports.com/transfer-centre/)

[Drew.]

West Ham released him didn't they?

[Drew.]

Oh never mind, he'll be available on a free in July

[GiRTh]

IT says its a loan on the source. Any way the idiot needs to sort himself out. We've known about him for a good 3 or 4 years now and everything we hear is negative.

[Locke.]

It's a pre contract agreement so it'll just be a free transfer. And then he'll return about 6 months later to a lower league club because they won't take his **** in Italy.

[Shaun]

idk why there are still so many rumours re: Arsenal when Wenger has pretty much said there'll be no more signings :worry:

but all sorts of Reus/Schneiderlin rumours resurfacing, and supposedly we've met the release-clause for some chap called Jose Luis Gaya (Valencian LB)

[Locke.]

It will just be a load of crap to sell papers. It's the same with us, it's been pretty clear for a couple of weeks we'd be making no signings yet the rumours just won't stop.

...Hopefully I've now jinxed that and we do sign someone.

There all summer rumours. Reus has a £28m clause that becomes active at th end of the season

[Shaun]

Has anything interesting happened today? I can't go too far back on the BBC page on my phone. Schurrle to Wolfsburg and Santon to Inter seems to be it...

[Locke.]

Not really, very quiet so far. I think Cuadrado signing for Chelsea will be the only incoming at any of the big clubs

[In the Drunk Tank]

Think Huth to Leicester is the only Prem signing so far, we're being linked with bloody Adebayor and Carlton might be off to West Brom but wouldn't be surprised if nothing comes of most of the rumours

Yakubu has just signed for Reading as well, not heard from him in a while

And you can't even get that done properly, he is staying now

Would feel wrong having Carlton at another Prem club as useless as he can be at times, amazed they actually wanted him

**** knows what United are playing at, just signed Andy Kellett on loan, a kid who's been playing in League 2 this season

[Locke.]

He's 21 as well, not like he's some really highly rated young kid :think:
