The January 2015 Transfer Window thread

[King Ellis]

Can't wait for Figo to turn out for Blyth Spartans.

[The Lusophone]

I'm more excited for Barack Obama to make his debut for Blyth.

Apparently Messi recently followed Chelsea on Instagram.

Seriously

He also follows Manchester City.

Messi wouldn't be worth the total amount of money it'd cost to have him. The agents fees alone would probably be the GDP of a small country.

Co-ownership. He'll alternate weeks at each club.

Suso looks set to join AC Milan either this transfer window for a small fee or on a bosman at the end of the season.

I'm disappointed he never really got a chance at us, he would never have an extended run it would always be odd games. He's got a lot of potentialans even though I'll be a bit gutted that he is leaving, it's better for him in the long run as hopefully he'll get first team football at Milan.

[Nerf]

Doesn't make any sense from a Milan perspective, but they haven't made sense in a long time. Apparently he's signed a pre-contract now.

[TCO]

Could be another Paul Pogba situation...

[Gazz]

Can't wait for Figo to turn out for Blyth Spartans.

He unfollowed them, something about lack of playing time...

[stokeriño]

Messi's agent has evidently been taking tips from Wayne Rooney's re: contract negotiations. They've now got Barcelona radio spouting such bollocks as "Whether the next season or the following, Abramovich goes for Lionel Messi".

Which is genius from the media's perspective, because it already hands them scope to drag this nonsense out for at least another six months.

[Gazz]

He's wasting his money, Messi or not, Chelsea will still not be able to beat Stoke.

[TCO]

Is Messi angry and confused yet?

Speaking of which isn't it around the time for Wayne Rooney to get a new deal?

[King Ellis]

Messi will end up on loan to AC Milan within 36 months.

[stokeriño]

He's wasting his money, Messi or not, Chelsea will still not be able to beat Stoke.

This joke would work better if we hadn't beaten Stoke two weeks ago.

[Rich]

If He was playing for Chelsea they would have scored one more goal against Tottenham

[King Ellis]

Bony to Man City for 30m? Obviously solving an injury crisis by being away on international duty the whole time he'd be needed. Solves the problem of him being wasted at Swansea though.

[Ant]

Oh good. THAT AGAIN

[Gorka]

Why does nobody take Jazz Richards and Dwight Tiendalli? It was bad enough losing Davies and now another favourite goes.

[Ant]

I'm surprised nobody has picked up Dyer to be honest

[Gazz]

Because Jazz Richards and Dwight Tiendalli are just two names you've stolen from Key and Peele's East/West College Bowl sketch.
