Transfer Thread

Yakuba has been denied a work permit as well, apparantly. Bit silly considering the amount of football he's played in this country for the last couple of seasons, but it's still quite funny.

Surely it's not too long until he's done his 5 years in England? When did he join Pompey, 2002/3?

[IAceI]

Yep, odds are he'll get it on appeal. But it was almost a given it was going to fail on the original attempt.

Liverpool sell Paletta to Boca...

Hmm, kinda surprised me.

[Thomas]

It's pretty complicated...

We agreed a fee with Benfica for their 50% of Fernandes (£6m), and also agreed a fee (£6m) for the other 50% owned by a third party. Everythnig was going nicely and Fernandes had told everyone at the club he'd sign when Valencia offered £10m for the 50% share Benfica own of Fernandes. This was beneficial for Benfica because they get £4m more for the transfer, and the third party can continue to make cash from Fernandes as they did before.

[ONO]

Villa will sign Zat Knight for £3.5m today. Talk about quality.

Those talking about Yakubu, I thought he only got his original EU Permit due to marrying his girlfriend from Portugal, otherwise he wouldn't have got one in the first place. Unless they split up, I'm surprised there was a problem.

[Guest Ringmaster]

I like the Villa defender purchase progression, it goes Curtis Davies ---> Per Mertsacker ---> Zat Knight.

All I'm saying is it's a good thing Titus Bramble just signed for Wigan.

[9 to 5]

Not for Wigan it isn't.

[Guest Ringmaster]

Zat Knight's so bad, he couldn't even play for the Spurs defense.

[9 to 5]

Perhaps he is the answer to your left wing problem?

[Summers]

Zat Knight is bad? Decent defender to replace Ridgewell, in my opinion.

[therockbox]

Yakubu is only 24

I thought he would be much older than that.

[Summers]

Yeah right, and Martins is really 21.

[IAceI]

Babayaro is actually 77.

[Thomas]

Martins is nearly 23, Yakubu is nearly 25.

[Herr Matzat]

Bremen might still be able to get Nilmar for free which would kick major major bad ass.
