January 2014 Transfer Window

This is when "players on the edge of the England squad" means "any English player because we're that desperate", right?

Can't think of who we've ruined lately... Cahill is basically first-choice centre-back since Terry's departure. You could argue we delayed Sturridge's introduction to the England squad and he could have been there aged 20 if we'd (out of madness) shoved Drogba aside for him, but that's if we're going down the "any bright kid who shows talent gets straight in" route. Joe Cole did plenty well for both us and England for a few years then got simultaneously found out by every opposition player everywhere. SWP was never that good to begin with.

And so on.

SWP was a gentleman and a scholar

[stokeriño]

GCSE scholar, maybe.

[Colly]

You ruined Ross Turnbull!

[Thrilla]

Palace could be busy today. They're talking to Scott Dann (Cardiff interested too), and Celtic have accepted a bid for Joe Ledley, and is expected to discuss a deal.

Why anyone thinks Scott Dann is a Premier League quality defender is beyond me, he's too slow to play at that level.

[MDK]

Andros Townsend/Nani swap deal is being mentioned. Got to be bollocks.

Zouma: Mourinho uses FM14 to scout.

Kallstrom: Wenger uses CM01/02.

Its because CM01/02 is freeware

[Nerf]

Rodgers and Pellegrini have dismissed the idea of Richards coming on loan.

Chelsea also ruined Scotty Parker for a little while, which is a huge sin.

[Colly]

Ooh, and Steve Sidwell! Damn you Chelsea and your mediocre Englishmen in your reserves!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Livermore is staying at Hull?!

Best deal of the transfer window.

[Colly]

Livermore should go to Chelsea so they can ruin him.

[therockbox]

Rodgers and Pellegrini have dismissed the idea of Richards coming on loan.

Thank fuck for that.

[stokeriño]

There is a difference though between Chelsea buying players and not playing them...and whatever it is United do when their players turn to shit despite playing all the time.

Rumours on Talksport are awesome.

"A private plane, which was booked only yesterday, is on its way to Manchester airport from Porto..."

[HailtotheYo]

It can't be 01/02 ... the players Wenger scouts weren't born yet.

[Plubby]

AFC Wimbledon tweet an image, supposedly of Charlie Wyke coming in to extend loan. Twitter replies point out that he's left his headlights on. I suggest that it appears that there is someone else still in the car. Charlie Wyke favourites my tweet. I feel I have made a contribution to deadline day and thus I inherit the mantle of "Scoop" from GoGo.

BREAKING NEWS: CHARLIE WYKE DID NOT LEAVE HIS CAR UNATTENDED WITH HEADLIGHTS ON AT LEAGUE TWO CLUB HQ.

[Crybaby Bunting]

No club ruins England players.

England players ruin England players.

[brenchill]

Lallana to Dortmund is doing the rounds

[Baddar]

Avram Grant on SSN. What a nice fella.

[brenchill]

Macheda to Fulham has been confirmed.
