Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

two things.

the first is in reply to that chesney interview. he is becoming a world class wum and keeper. syn would be proud.

the second what a joke it is that a chairman of a premier league club retweets calling another manager a bellend, that is outreageous

We should go back with a £3mill offer, see if we can make the classy folks at Bolton dance a little faster. Meanwhile, shouldn't all our players be in the newspapers tapping Cahill up? That's how it's done now isn't it?

[Darth Vela]

I don't think twitch is too worried who the player is, provided he gets the chance to do some wheeler-dealing with the club's cash. I suppose there's some sort of a back-hander built in too plus some mechanism by which to plunge the spuds into financial cataclysm in a couple of years. The standard Harry Redknapp routine, as seen at all his other clubs. Next England manager. LOL.

You know it's happening though, I already feel pretty dirty wanting a team containing Rooney to win but if it was managed by Redknapp I might have to discover a distant Spanish relative and 'do a Silvinho'.

The thing is...wenger is absolutely spot on with what he's saying. Bolton are acting very cuntish. If they are truly insulted by a £6m offer then they need to stop being so precious and grow some thicker skin. Just because they've slapped on a £37373m price tag doesn't mean any offers must be close to it. People can offer what they like, and they can reject what they like. If the offer was made privately, common courtesy would be to reply privately and not throw a hissy fit in public in order to get on the back pages.

Hold your nose and think of Jack Wilshere.

I don't know. I think the offer is irrelevant. If it was made privately and politely then the response should also be.

By confronting Gartside, Wenger's probably ruined the deal now. Their chairman will not want to sell to us, given he's obviously offended by the opening bid and think's Wenger's a bellend.

That's all it is, trying to generate some steam in the media. First they spend all their time telling the media no bid has been made for Cahill, now they tell everyone yes we have a bid but it is derisory. Small time club, if you invite gypsies they will wash their underwear on your lawn.

Fuck him if he's offended.

FIFA/UEFA whoever it is that controls this transfer window might as well just end it now.
