January 2017 Transfer Window Thread

[Lineker]

Inter’s Jonathan Biabiany has turned down an offer to join Chelsea on loan for the rest of the season. He is not keen on joining a club on loan and is also waiting for an offer from China.

Fulham striker Matt Smith has completed his medical and agreed personal terms with Queens Park Rangers, according to Sky sources. An announcement confirming the signing - worth an initial £500,000, rising to £1m – is expected imminently.

Why the fuck would we be loaning in a winger anyway? It's not like he'd play ahead of Hazard/Pedro/Willian/etc. unless substantial injuries occurred.

Conte obviously plays a lot of FM.

[stokeriño]

Either that or there's someone in the Chelsea boardroom who feels compelled to bring in a new winger every January regardless of context/quality/requirements.

Sky Sources: Watford defender Juan-Carlos Paredes is having a medical with Olympiakos in Greece. It is understood that the deal is an initial loan with a permanent option in the summer. 

Villarreal winger Alfonso Pedraza is having a medical at Leeds, according to Sky sources. Initial deal will be on loan until the end of the season but with a view to a permanent deal that could be worth up to £8.5m. The loan fee is £300k, which Leeds had to pay to end his previous loan spell with Lugo.

Former Manchester United and Newcastle winger Gabriel Obertan is on his way to Wigan for talks, Sky Sports News HQ understands. The Frenchman is a free-agent after being released by Anzhi Makhachkala. Crystal Palace have also been linked with the 27-year-old.

I imagine Joyce worked with Obertan at United. Hasn't really panned out for him wherever he's gone, same goes for Gibson really. I once spent an hour in Gibson's house watching Corrie with his missus. Bit of a surreal experience.

Take a look at @br_uk's Tweet:

 

 

Moyes is obviously basing his whole transfer policy on getting 100 chemistry on FIFA 13 Ultimate Team.

[Lineker]

@Gazz my yellow socks are at the bottom of a cardboard box in the flat somewhere!

 

Cue @9 to 5 calling me a stupid wanker in 3....2....

[Gazz]

Deadline Day ruined.

[Colly]

Is the Palace interest in Obertan real or has the rumourbot just forgot that they #sackedpardew?

Sky sources understand Crystal Palace midfielder Jordon Mutch is currently at Reading ahead of completing a loan move to the Championship club until the end of the season. The 25-year-old has appeared just eight times for Palace this term.

Aston Villa midfielder Ashley Westwood has completed a medical ahead of his proposed £5m move to Burnley, Sky Sports News HQ understands.

Hull City duo Alex Bruce and James Weir will join Wigan on loan until the end of the season, according to Sky sources.

Robbie Brady is expected to leave Norwich City today with Burnley the most likely destination.

Leicester have turned down an improved bid from Sunderland for Leonardo Ulloa, believed to be £8m. If the striker goes anywhere it is more likely to be Spain.

Sunderland have had a £12m bid for the Southampton striker Jay Rodriguez rejected.

Inter have signed Trent Sainsbury on loan from Chinese side Jiangsu Suning.

I legitimately had to Ctrl-F on his wiki page to check if Moyes had had any interaction with him before.  

[Lineker]

Sky sources understand League One leaders Scunthorpe United have rejected an extraordinary bid of £4m for striker Kevin Van Veen, from Chinese Super League club Henan Jianye FC. Scunthorpe are reluctant to sell a key player as they bid for promotion to the Championship, but would be interested if the offer nears £8m, according to Sky sources. Negotiations continue.

Go home China; you're drunk.

[Gazz]

They should ask for £16m, they might get it.

[Lineker]

José Mourinho has said that Wayne Rooney will not be leaving for China and he will stay at Manchester United until the end of the season. Ashley Young is also staying put, for the time being.

Southampton have announced the signing of Nice goalkeeper Mouez Hassen on loan until the end of the season.
