January Transfer Window 2013

Thatā€™s ridiculously low - was he nearly out of contract?

I hold my hands up, the ā‚¬4m is a loan deal with the option to take up 50% of his rights.

Marquinho is leaving Roma to return to Brazil and play for Gremio. Think heā€™s a good player, thought he might have got more time under Zeman.

I see United are linked with a Ā£14 million pound move for Wilfred Zaha. Ridiculous money for what is an unproven teenager and given the weaknesses in other areas

Agree fully. Zaha has potential but thatā€™s crazy money. Would have thought that Strootman would have been the focus this month.

I see Villa are linked with a move for Interā€™s Coutinho. Would a fine signing for them

His retarded cousin Cuntorino would be a fine signing for Villa at this stage.

Liverpool being linked with a move for Fenerbahceā€™s Moussa Sow

Paul Ince has cautioned his son and Blackpool winger Tom against leaving Bloomfield Road at the expense of regular first-team football.

Ince Jr has been heavily linked with a return to Liverpool, where he graduated from the youth set-up but failed to establish himself at senior level before joining the Seasiders in summer 2011.

His father is in no doubt that he is capable of making the grade in the top flight but feels the prospect of time spent on the bench at a big club may hinder the 20-year-old England Under-21 starā€™s development.

ā€œThereā€™s been a lot of press saying heā€™s going to Liverpool,ā€ he told Sky Sports News. "Not at one time has he said Liverpool - not at one time has Thomas said he wants to leave Blackpool.
"I just feel that heā€™s ready for the Premier League. Whether that means heā€™s going to go in January, or it means heā€™s going to go at the end of the season or the season after, who knows?
"I think heā€™s ready to go and play in the Premier League but I donā€™t want Thomas going to a Premier League club and not playing football because they will just stunt his development.

"Wherever he goes he has to have the chance of being involved and getting game-time.
"If you say Liverpool, you say Man United or you say Barcelona - I donā€™t want him going to those clubs if heā€™s not going to play football.

ā€œFor me, he might as well stay at Blackpool and keep playing week in and week out.ā€

Milan have completed the signing of Sapanora, Galliani has likened him to Kaka. He wonā€™t arrive until next summer however. He has said that Milan want to sign Cataniaā€™s Francesco Lodi.

Daily mail reporting that Negredo to spurs is almost done deal,Seville chairman flew into London today they say.

Sahin to Dortmund should ne announced at 6pm CET.

How is that? Madrid just switched his loan from Liverpool to Dortmund or are Liverpool loaning him to Dortmund? Is Suarez the only signing Liverpool have made in the last 3 years that hasnā€™t been unbelievably bad?

Stephen Kelly having a medical at Reading

Taison has turned down the chance to join Chelsea, has opted for Shaktar instead

18 month loan deal with the option to buy. Great deal for Dortmund. He was outstanding in his original spell there. Even if he doesnā€™t reach that level again he will be great cover/competition for Gundogan

Didnā€™t think he was that bad at Liverpool that necessitated getting rid of him as soon as possible.

Cutting their losses to take on someone else perhaps? Wonder have they really lost all that much on the deal actually.

The guy is coming back from two serious injuries, could be s while before you see the best of himā€¦ those at the club should have known. In saying that he may not want to ne there himself. There was hesitation initially, Germany may be the best place for him now.
