Cole is believed to be having a medical in Manchester.

Where've you heard/read that?

[ONO]

Sky Sports.

Whilst signing autographs, he apparently told kids that he had signed for Chelsea. Anyway, he's not with the rest of the England squad, and was seen getting into a car. So, they're speculating that he's off having a medical in Manchester, as that's where the deal will have to be completed.

All from Sky Sports News.

[DFF]

Why would the deal have to be completed there?

[ONO]

Because he's got England training tomorrow morning.

[DFF]

ah... ok. Cool. Be glad once the whole Cole To Chelsea saga is over, as it annoys me hearing about it all the time.

Real Madrid have confirmed that they will take Reyes on loan, with Baptista going in the other direction.

Nice bit of business for Arsenal.

[DFF]

Cameroon international Roudolphe Douala Mbela has signed for Pompey. How much money do they have?

I'm well happy with getting The Beast. Reyes has been ordinary at best from us ever since his move. I reckon Wenger will try and convert Beast to centre mid and we'll finally have some power in there.

I wouldn't actually be that sad if Cole left because the one player we need right now is an experienced centre half. It allows Clichy to develop and gives us one more player in line before Pascal Cygan plays.

I'm happy with the capture of Baptista, I mean at least we'll find his best position and play him there, although I hope Wenger isn't too loyal to Gilberto, hopefully a sub-appearance or two will show him who's actually the best, he seemed to play all over the place at Madrid.

Reyes hasn't been as shit as everyone makes out, but he's not strong enough for the premiership and he's inconsistant, I put alot of it down to being unsettled but from the look of it its his own fault (apparently he didn't try to learn the language, etc). He'll shine at Madrid and hopefully it doesn't lead to Madrid keeping him and then taking back Baptista too, I'm keen on the idea of loans, but not when the loan is to us, always leaves me a little worried.

Now hopefully Cole fucks off too, Clichy needs to step up to the plate and I liked what I saw of Traore too, he seems to have alot of heart aswell.

Off topic question but I've been watching Green Street Hooligans a lot recently. How true is the whole 'firm' thing?

*EDIT* Wow Villarreal paid 2 million pounds for Cygan?!?!?!

Newcastle have signed Antione Sibierski.

[ONO]

Reports from Spain indicate that Villareal have agreed a £2m fee with Arsenal for Pascal Cygan.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Cygans joined Villareal for £2 million according to sky sports.

Nonda going to Blackburn on a loan deal is a pretty good bit of unmentioned buisness so far.

Sibierski? Meh, possibly could be acceptable but also has the potential to flop majorly.

[DFF]

Sibierski isn't bad. When he's on form he's pretty good. A good back up.

[Summers]

Fuck Newcastle, still.

Bastards.

[lafunky xxvii]

This is the real quiz folks, the biggest deal of the day, forget the Argentinian coup.

Pascal Cygan has been sold to Villarael.

For £2million.

I feel the phrase 'saw them coming' is appropriate.

[ONO]

Fuck Newcastle, still.

Bastards.

[Guest Ringy Bangs Dennis' Mom]

Cygan could do a job in Spain to be honest, all he has to do is stand still and hope the ball hits his head.

[Guest muddatrucker]

In a strange way I almost loved Pascal Cygan, he played well in Bergy's testimonial too, I imagine this means we'll be signing a CB before 12pm them, well hopefully, otherwise we have Toure, Senderos (inj), Djourou and Alex Song (shit),
