CH's all singing all dancing transfer gossip thread on toast

[TKIZ!]

Wigan put a bid in for that birmingham player like 3 days ago and have already signed him up and yet we're only just starting to get a deal done we've been after for 2 weeks...

Yeah but he's well Clay Davis

sign in haste - repent at leisure....

Especially if it's Jean sodding Beausejour

There's a few clubs we could legitimately be jealous of, but they're none of them, and that signing's laughable

[BWFC_Insane]

Dos Santos is in "advanced negotiations" with Villarreal.

Shocking.

We are making another balls up of a transfer window.

Waiting on too many things rather than making things happen. We have some money, we should have identified who was available and who we wanted.

We've waited a week for Spurs to confirm a price with us for Dos Santos and still don't know if he'd even consider a move here (according to the usual).

Christ I wish I could be as slow with recruitment as Bolton are....

... and you were almost positive for a few minutes.

The wankers here are Spurs for even pretending we were in the mix. Very young, Spanish first language speaking Mexican multi-millionaire currently earning serious Spurs money & living in London has option to move to Spanish club .... or Bolton.

That alluring option would also mean continuing in a league he has failed in for years already.

... and him not coming to us is a disgrace and shows we are unambitious and shite ??

Nah I'm not that bothered as Dos Santos is a big gamble anyways.

so... had we moved like lightening with the cash we had and made something happen by waving it all under harry's nose...

then you'd have sat back and moaned that it was a bit of a gamble??

Stop being contrary. I don't think he will be a big miss. But Coyle wants him. It's the speed we move at that frustrates me, irrespective of who we are after!

[Jokers in White]

I had to laugh at this!


Hey honey!

Well, I've been here in Bolton, England, for a few days now and I'm settling in nicely.

I guess you are feeling kinda sore about missing our honeymoon but I know you will just love it over here.

You'll come to realise that life at a Premier League football club is like one long honeymoon. When you are not in bed, you are getting pampered. You even get free massages, although they tend to be from a short guy in a woolly hat, named Ronnie, who uses Vicks vapour rub instead of essential jojoba oil.

Of course Bolton is not exactly Tahiti. One is famous for its tattooed savages whose distrust of outsiders has hindered civilisation. The other is in French Polynesia.

But, honey, there are similarities, too. For instance, both places have a wet season from November to April. Granted, Bolton then has a damp season from May to October, but you just need to layer up. I can probably get you one of those padded jackets with initials on. There is a whole heap of stuff marked "GC", whoever that is, but he does not seem to be around. I guess he must have left in a hurry.

Just like Tahiti, Bolton is a cultural melting pot: French, Spanish, English, even some folk from Europe. We manage to communicate pretty well and the only guy I cannot understand is coach Coyle. He speaks something called Glaswegian, which must be the ancient native tongue because it sounds nothing like any language I've heard before.

Hey, you know how you really wanted to see a volcano erupt on Tahiti? Well, I've already seen one! On Saturday, after we beat Liverpool 3-1, there was a terrible eruption from a notoriously volatile landmark.

"King Kenny", as some locals call it, is said to have spewed flames and lava for several hours. It must have been pretty bad, because some of the Liverpool players' wives had been scorched a deep shade of orange.

I know how you wanted to look inside a volcano, too, so I asked the guys in the dressing room if it was possible to stand on a precipice and peer into the abyss around here.

"That is what we've been doing since November," they replied.

Anyway, I'm going to sign off now and hit the beach. Tahiti may have black sand but here the whole ocean – or, as they call it, the Bolton-Bury Canal – is as black as molasses! Kinda syrupy like molasses, too.

I cannot wait to see you, honey, not least for all the extra training that I think you promised me. I could not quite hear you when we said goodbye – you were sobbing a lot and the bridal veil was hiding your face – but I think it was something about wanting to shoot at me?

I sure hope so, baby, because I could use all the practice I can get at defending set pieces!

Your loving husband,

Tim

I, for one, would rather we did not pay the first price we were asked... you, presumably would have seen it as a sign of our decisiveness and ambition to have given Spurs £7mill for dos Santos and driven him straight to the reebok?

yet - no - you'd have called it a money-wasting gamble and called for Coyle's head...

in NOT signing Dos Santos, Coyle is indecisive and unambitious and too bloody slow
in SIGNING Dos Santos, Coyle would have been taking a money-wasting gamble on an unproven player

there's a pattern here - it's "whatever Coyle does is wrong and I wish we had Megson back, cos he was ace."

Just making a fictitious situation up doesn't make you right,

We've waited for over a week for Spurs to tell us whether they will sell Dos Santos and for what price.

I've said that my personal opinion is that I'm not convinced by Dos Santos. But we need players and if that's who Coyle wants let's get the fook on with it or move on elsewhere if it ain't happening.

Shit or get off the pot time is of the essence.

Whatever Coyle feels we need, get it fecking done!

[Ianmooreslovechild]

I'd have been gutted if we'd signed dos santos on a full contract,would have been worth a pop on loan though. I'm quite happy with what's going down so far. Ream sounds like a reasonable facsimile of Cahill,LeToux looks like a potentially useful KD like player but without the milage or expense(assuming we take him)if we can sign someone to play wide right when Eagles is having one of his bottle it days(like v Man U) and a left back so Ricketts is able to cover central defence without us resorting to Robbo then I'll be happy enough.

{sigh} it's only the 25th January... look back across every transfer window in the past and you will find that the last few days are when the deals are done - especially when you haven't got cash to burn...

sometimes I wonder if you just go looking for stuff to get yourself distressed about...

[Ianmooreslovechild]

Aye,it's also worth remembering that Coyle has generally done better in the January window than most of our previous managers even if you do have to wait until Rasiak day to find out who they are.

[jaffka]

feck me signed some sh*te under that last plonker in january

[seanworth]

feck me signed some sh*te under that last plonker in january

Who did he sign last January. Off the top of my head I can only remember Sturridge on loan and possibly Wheater.

[Lord Kangana]

The last plonker.

[gizmothevoomer]

The problem caused by the transfer window is the fact that unless clubs come in with an outrageous bid for someone no one will sell at the beginning of the window.
Clubs who are looking to offload players will sound out prospective clubs to get some interest, then wait for interested clubs make bids. In the mean time players and agents look to get the best package.
Some players will only now be coming available for loan as selling clubs do get offers for the sale of players which match their valuations. So a successful loan till the end of season will enhance the selling price. If Sturridge had been a flop last year at the Reebok he would probably been sold for 4 or 5 Million.

I suspect that may mean a Dos Santos loan is likely to happen Monday or Tuesday.

THE ORACLE HAS SPOKEN!!

[truewhite15]

Just as long as, if he comes, we use him a little more than we used Kakuta. Who must be wondering why the f*ck we bothered.

Yeah. His dad wants him to go out on loan ... for 6 months ... & preferably to Argentina ... where he comes from.

Oooooh. Let me think.

Not really as he was rubbish

[bobo the clown]

He won't be the only one then tw.

To be fair to Coyle he can't be accused of not using Wilshire or Sturridge. So Kakuta mustn't have shown anything in Euxton.
