It has everything to do with it
Chamakh has gone to Wham on loan.
If you canât respect yourself, what can you respect?
Whiskey-nose is having a hissy fit over Zeki Fryersâ move to Tottenham.
Should have thought of that before he left him go to Standard Liege. Belgium is the new breeding ground for the EPL.

Its me CM- believe it !
[I actually read this on baords.ie]
On the flight to Munich- and read the German papers Bild etc- looking for news about Holtby (front page story btw was Sylvie and Rafa splitting up)- read that he Holtby, had turned down Schalkeâs offer to double his wages and he would definitely not renew his contract. I was sitting in row 18 in the middle of the plane, and the steward says you can exit through the back door, so I turned around and to my astonishment, I saw the entire Schalke team had been sitting right behind me. they were on their way to Qatar btw, training camp etc. So I saw Holtby and thought Iâll have a chat with him. Luckily we had to get a bus to the terminal, so i got in the bus went straight up to him, and told him I was a big big Tottenham fan, that Iâve just got back from the Reading game and that weâve heard he might be coming to us. He smiled a bit and obviously didnât want to say anything, but Huntelaar- who was really nice, and friendly as the Dutch often are, just chipped in and said literally-âItâs a done deal, all signed and sealedâ. Holtby looked a bit embarassed, and then said âwell thereâll be a statement in the next few daysâ. He speaks perfect English btw-'cos his motherâs English, without the trace of a any German accent.and then we started to talk about Tottenham and WHL and AVB. The conversation went like this: he told me, heâd been over for the West Ham game, and he was really surprised at how poor West Ham were as they are in the top half of the table. I told him that they are a home team, and donât perform away. I said that WHL is an old fashioned stadium, and he said he thinks that itâs great, the atmosphere is unbelievable, and that he loved being there.Then we talked about the team, and it was obvious that heâd seen every game, and how impressed heâs been. I said that Iâd been a bit sceptical about AVB, because I thought Harry was so great, and he seemed surprised, saying that heâs a great young coach. I agreed with him and said Iâve been won over, and think weâre playing some really good football, which he agreed with too, and really thinks we have a lot of very good players. We talked a bit about the PL in general, and about the Chelsea/QPR game, which we both laughed about. Altogether we spoke for around ten minutes.
I couldnât take any pictures 'cos the bus was so crowded, but I take it that people on here know who I am, and will trust me- but all in all. Expect him to arrive now or in the summer. I personally think it will be the summer, but everything today pointed towards him becoming a Spurs player. I got a great buzz from meeting him and Huntelaar- to whom I said. weâve been waiting for you too, he laughed an said, you just keep waiting.[/quote]
That story falls apart with a factual inaccuracy. Holtbyâs mother is German.
Joe Hart and Wayne Rooney to be swapped between the manchester franchises.
Mirin to Liverpool said to be more or less completed⌠Dunph, add Coates to your list of flops.
Who is Mirin?
Who is Mirin?
French u21 plays for Valenciennes⌠Know nothing about him. Apparently was a guest at the Sunderland game the other night. Swapping one unknown for another it seems.
Clip of Mirin in recent game against PSG where he destroyed Ibra

We all know Fergie has never been involved in any dodgy transfers in his time. In unrelated news Bebe has left the club on loan.
Southampton are close to signing Cagliari centre back Davide Astori for a fee between âŹ10-12m. I think Astori is overrated myself and that there are better defenders that should be ahead of him in the national team pecking order, however given the complete lack of competent defenders in England I would expect him to do well there.
Rossi to Fiorentina is done and Armero is supposedly close to signing for Napoli. That will be an excellent signing for Napoli. Serie A now has seven or so really, really good teams. Roma, Fiorentina, Lazio and Inter have all strongly improved from last season while Napoli are more or less in the same position - only Milan have deteriorated. Outside Juventus there is a pack of six, all of whom are vying for the Champions League spots. Should be a great second half to the season.
Robbie Brady looks to be joining Hull on a full time basis after they agreed a 2 million pound fee with Man United for the winger
Meyler on his way there too it seems.
Napoli had a transfer bid rejected for Sebastian Coates before last nightâs game. Mazzarri sees him as a replacement for banned P.Cannavaro.
If Napoli come back with a loan offer, #LFC could consider. Liverpool want to loan Coates out to gauge his consistency at high levels.
The playerâs preference for Napoli will be high considering presence of the S.American contingent at Naples, esp with Cavani, Britos, Vargas.
West Brom are also trying to sign him on loan
That would be the job.
Shane Long to Lazio?
