2011 Summer Transfer Window Thread

[Cymbols]

Sky Sports are now reporting that Villa are interested in signing Joe Cole. I think Villa have found their Ashley Young replacement

We weren't interested in Benyaoun and Barton because of wages. Do the math. Sky are wrong again.

1154: As mooted by Phil McNulty earlier, we can confirm that Liverpool's Joe Cole - who was thought to be on the verge of joining French side Lille - is now in talks with Aston Villa.

Maybe not...

Go to France, we (I) don't want you.

[Summers]

I'd take Cole. On loan.

We're also chasing Jenas on loan, but Spurs want to sell him for SIX million.

I'd take 'em both, they'd add to our threadbare squad. Need Hutton wrapped up soon, too.

[brenchill]

Maloney to Wigan for £1m. Great signing.

[Summers]

He'll be back at Celtic for 1m in 12 months.

Nippy little player. Brilliant footballer.

[Matt]

It'll just be a load of bollocks to get the numerous United fans to tune in to hope it's about Sneijder.

Yeah, definitely. They've not even mentioned it since that news flash.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Jerome to Stoke :/

Elia completes move to Juventus, some brilliant business for them in this market as they reshape their squad.

News:

Rennes have confirmed making an enquiry for Georgios Samaras, but the Greek striker has turned down the chance to join the French club as he wants to stay at Celtic.

[Lineker]

Joe Cole has joined Lille on loan.

[Summers]

Sums up Villa at the minute. If Eck really wanted him, why did he wait til he was in France?

[Dan]

Anton Ferdinand off to QPR.

[Dynamite]

Can't believe teams are willing to pay money for Cameron Jerome.

I'd be surprised if we didn't lose a striker today. Macheda on loan somewhere or Diouf sold/loaned are my guesses.

[Dan]

EWB Deadline Day Chatroom!

[Lineker]

Thought we were going to use the IRC one that we use for live WWE shows.

Makes no difference to me, I'm off to Camden soon anyway.

[therockbox]

Joe Cole has joined Lille on loan.

Best news all summer.

[stokeriño]

Mom? Bloody American.

If we're setting up an irc let me know, off work today

Always mom, never mum.

Urgh.

Mother. Mom. Momma. Correct.

Muther. Mum. Mumma. Wrong.

Exhibit #4,516 why the Midlands/North/etc. may as well be a different country.

Glancing at the transfer feed on BBC this morning, I swear there was something about the Cole deal going through would give Liverpool first option on Eden Hazard. Probably untrue, but, purely down to his FM godliness and the lol, Arsenal factor of it all... I'd like it to be true.

Then Arsené can go and buy Thorgan Hazard.

[Marcos]

Anyone heard anything on the Bellamy to Liverpool stuff?

[IAceI]

Obligatory "good on Cole for going abroad" post.

[stokeriño]

lol, BBC.

1320: DONE DEAL Chelsea transfer news from Stamford Bridge - but it's not exactly a show-stopper, with recent arrival Ulises Davila shipped out on loan to Dutch side Vitesse Arnham. Showbiz.

This was confirmed two days ago. Sadly I think the BBC are relying on the official CFC website, which moves so slowly that it looks like time is running backwards.

This could be the most wonderful transfer window ever. Hutton could go, Crouch could go, Palacios could go, Bentley could go as part of the Parker deal, Jenas could go....

Glorious, wonderful. It could finally all be working out.....ABOUT FOUR WEEKS LATER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
