The Transfer Thread

[Buford Ripley]

Bwahah, awesome.

I'm gonna get his name on the back of my shirt >_>

[Liam]

Deuce >_>

That's if I don't get Volz done first

Although, admittedly, I'm too lazy to get it done

[Buford Ripley]

Sky Sports News say that the transfer of Lauren to West Ham for £1M is imminent.

In a random Mortiz Volz fact, he has Hoff 2 stitched into his boots, making him so much greater a legend.

[Liam]

Sounds cool to me.....I just don't get Coleman's love affair with American players.

[Guest President Ringiah Bartlet]

I don't really get it either. Not that they're bad (except Bocanegra >_>) but could he have some pressure on him to tap into the American market or something? Fulham really is turning into Team USA now.

[Liam]

I dunno...it could be a good idea though, as the US market is big, and the more US players we have, the more fans we potentially get from the US. Win win, if they are good.

Bocanegra is alright, just a bit naff at times, thats all.

[Lord Nibbler]

Plus, everyone tends to ignore America so there's always the chances of uncovering some gems.

And the language and culture are similar so they probably adapt quicker/better than most foreigners.

[Liam]

IIRC, they've always been complemented generally for thier work ethic also.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

We released Momo Sylla on a free

Okay, he was lazy but still.

[Summers]

Ok, I lied, the best one is Olof Mellberg.

You know it.

Yep, I can see it now. All the US fans are walking around in 'soccer' shirts, but it's not a Chelsea shirt with Lampard on the back or a United shirt with Rooney or even a Real Madrid shirt with Ronaldo...it's a Fulham shirt...with Ian Pearce's name proudly displayed on the back.

Dream on, son

Not implausible, Leeds United still hold a huge fanbase in Scandinavia for relatively no reason, so why a premier league club couldn't hold an overseas fan base when they have a lot of their players (something Leeds didn't really have) isn't too absurd.

In other news, Alan Thompson is coming to United with him just needing a medical before he joins. And we're supposed to be talking to John Worthington the Huddersfield (captain?) player.

I think the fact the Leeds United phone in is called "Bremner or Brolin" with Bremner being good and Brolin being bad says enough about Mr. Thomas Brolin. I mean, there's Alf Inge-Haaland and Eirik Bakke too, but I'd hardly say they were pivotal in Leeds dominating the Scandinavian market. Besides it's not even Sweden (I've probably just made an ass out of myself there, because I'm not entirely sure Brolin was Swedish now I think about it ) we're particularly popular in, it's Norway, Denmark and Finland, or so I gather.

[The Future]

Al-Itihaad the Arabian club dealing with Figo is also planning a bid for Ronaldo(Real Madrid).

[Steeb]

Yeah, they're MLS goals, but he seems like a damn good finisher anyway.

Mellberg has a beard.

Ergo he's great.
