January Transfer Window 2011

Fairly glossing over the departure of Torres there. Only injuries have disrupted his ranking as best striker in the league. Don’t know how you can be happy with him leaving if the financial side doesn’t bother you.

I think it’s slow because he needs to get a work permit

Stevie Ireland to Newcastle on loan for the rest of the season has been confirmed

disappointing lack of cleavage fomr hayley

El Hadj Diouf to Rangers :lol: :lol:

El Hadji Diouf to the huns. Now that’s a perfect match. Jim White’s creaming himself about that.

If the Suarez deal hadn’t been arranged then you could have understood an element of panic, but having already signed a striker (more or less) it makes very little sense to make a sudden expenditure of that magnitude on an unproven player.

One possible angle is Dalglish wanting to secure a permanent position and having only until the end of the season to do it. He’s made no bones about wanting the job long term.

Just about to post that. Of all the biggest cunts in football… they couldn’t have looked for a more odious cunt.

I posted earlier about how they were up to something. For all the talk about them managing on a shoestring, they’ve actually spent as much as they’ve recouped from sales. They’ve lost Miller upfront but they spent £4m on Jelavic in the summer and now they’ve taken Healy and probably Diouf too. They also have other cunts like Lafferty, Naismith etc there so they’re not short on numbers either.

Harry’s popped out to give an update interview. :clap:

Can I recommend this Twitter list for news this evening?

http://twitter.com/#!/zonal_marking/lists/football-journalists

It was assembled by Zonal_Marking and tracks most of the decent/credible football journalists and the best of bloggers.

It also features in the sidebar on the TFK homepage for those who don’t like leaving these hallowed servers.

Harry Redknapp:

‘Good to see you Gary*. Now I’m off to have my dinner.’

Top man. :clap:

Seems a bit bitter with Newcastle over Carroll. Implied that they’ve been trying to sell him all month and then come out with the ‘we did everything we could to keep him but the player wanted to leave’ soundbites.

Suarez has signed.

He’ll wear number 7.

Ah lovely.

:clap:

I watched him in person at Ajax this season. Feel free to question me about him.

Some revealing tweets from football journalists who clearly don’t like the huns… always nice to find out who hates the huns.

Rangers always have been such a likeable club so the addition of the lovely El Hadji Diouf seems like a marriage made in heaven

How is he at defending corners?

Artur Boruc on Twitter:

‘Diouf for Rangers? Marriage made in HELL’.

:lol:

Huns have also signed a young Arsenal centre back Kyle Bartley on loan.

Some talk that Given is going to Cardiff on loan.

I would advise Liverpool against placing him at the front post defending zone as he has a strange propensity to raise his hands and fist away corners that are going over his head. At risk of conceding penalties.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Not really Rocko. My post before the one you quote said I was happy with Carroll and Suarez for Torres. I’m a massive Torres fan but he’s only one player. I actually feel that overall Liverpool are stronger now. Great potential with those pair and if only playing one up top it means that we have more than decent backup. When Torres was missing Ngog was the backup. Not the case now.
