Transfer Talk

[DFF]

Portsmouth have signed Kranjcar. Good signing, imo.

[Summers]

Something's up, seriously up.

[Dan]

The pair have been signed for an undisclosed fee and put pen-to-paper on permanent contracts with the club this afternoon. All other aspects of the transfers will remain confidential and undisclosed.

Not loan...

WOW.

JUST WOW

[Big Red Fury]

Something's not right about this situation...

[Summers]

Like I said, something's up here. If Tevez does brilliantly, I wouldn't be surprised to see Chelsea sign him next year.

[ONO]

Where the fuck did they get the money for that? =/

Yorke signs for Sunderland.

[Lord Nibbler]

"Undisclosed fee" = Free

MSI must be taking over the club. The situation doesn't make sense otherwise.

I'm surprised this is legal, though. Buying a club, selling their players to another club and then buying that club.

[Liam]

Well, the players are owned by a company that tried to take over West Ham last year, before pulling out. Whether that is dodgy or not, your choice.

Undiscolosed Fee doesn't mean Free, either.

West Ham didn't spend a penney, that's obvious.

[lafunky xxvii]

The next West Ham game could see Shaun Newton alongside Javier Mascherano in midfield and Carlos Tevez partnering Carlton Cole up front. What is up with the world?

Ah.

Well, Media Sports Investment own the rights to the two players, they were also interested in taking over the club last season. I wouldn't be surprised at all if West Ham gave them shares of the club for those two.

Sounds like a cheat on football manager, it either involves MSI or Chelsea, we'll find out eventually.

Nothing wrong with it imo.

It's like a feeder club isn't it.

Both. I'm sure the guys who own MSI are friends with everyone's favourite russian billionaire.

In this case it probably does. The money would go to MSI anyway, and if they're buying West Ham...

True, but thats if they do buy West Ham. They pulled out last year, so who knows?

It'll be interesting to see how it develops.

Did I miss the part where Chelsea are a part of any of this?

[fineintent]

People just hate Chelsea.

Maybe they'll hate West Ham, Pompey and Villa soon enough.

[ONO]

James Milner's deal to Aston Villa looks to have fell through.
