January Transfer Window Thread

Tal Ben Haim has signed for Sunderland on loan until the end of the season

Good signing for them, don’t think Ferdinand or nosworthy are up to much…

Watched bits of their match against Newcastle and was sweriously impressed with Jonas Guittierez(sic) on the wing for Newcastle, covered some amount of ground

Ben Haim is shite.

Sure Ferdinand and the other lad aren’t up too much but Ben Haim is woeful.

Always thought he was handy enough at Bolton farmer, didn’t see too much of him at chelsea and when I did he was playing left back, think he a moderate enough centre half, wouldn’t say he is outstanding but is an improvement on what they have already…

Remember Torres destroying him last season for the goal in Anfield against Chelsea and any time afterwards I saw him he never looked up to it for me.

He did Puke but I dont think he delivered a good ball once. Enrique was the same, great approach play but then hit the first defender almost every time. Really enjoyable game. Andy Reid was very good when introduced. Duff was booked for a pathetic dive. Looked lively though.

Is the transfer window slamming shut at 5pm or midnight?

5pm Bandage

Midnight but am open to correction

Shay Given has signed for Man City.

Villa are being linked with Micah Richards. He has huge potential but we dont need centre halves or right backs so dont think it is a runner.

What has happened to Micah Richards?

Last year he was hailed, and looked to be, one of the top defenders in the league and now he is being linked with a move to Villa?

Read somewhere that in preseason he went hard at the weights and ended up bulking up the wrong muscles and lost a bit of pace, also Richard Dunne’s form has been poor and I believe he made Richards look a better player that he is last season

Just shows how Villa are now perceived as one of the top ten sides in Europe being linked with a player of his stature :smiley:

If you’re not in for the likes of willo flood kib man you just dont rate.

Richards wasn’t particularly good last season either. He showed definite promise when he first came onto the scene but doesn’t seem to be realising it.

It is alleged that Spurs are looking to sign Ricardo Queresma on loan from Inter Milan…

Liverpool should be looking to get him in, would certainly be an improvement on what they have

How has Queresma done for Inter this year?

Can’t be great if they are letting him go.

Think he was booed at the weekend, I am sure it didn’t help him settle when the president said he thought he was shite and that mourinho shouldn’t have signed him(before he even played a game for inter)…Think Inter left him out of their squad for the knock-out stages of the Champions League so mustn’t be going great

Premier League are in talks with the FA and FIFA to extend the 5pm deadline due to the bad weather. This is unbelievable!

Ha, brilliant!
