Swoop, Plunder and Ink: Jan 2011 Window

[Mostar]

Edin Dzeko has joined City after completing his transfer from Wolfsburg.

He has signed a four and a half year deal and will wear the number 10 shirt.

The prolific 24-year-old striker can’t wait for the new marriage to start after a lengthy engagement.

He is likely to make his home debut against Wolves at CoMs on Saturday week (tickets still available).

“It has been a long time that I have been linked with the club going back to last summer but Wolfsburg did not want to sell me until today,” he smiled after completing a medical.

“There was too much speculation in the papers but my head is always clear. It is important that is the case because if you think too much about what might be it is a distraction and it can affect your game. I was always attracted most to joining City.

So he is off to Cityh..

I cannot stand them but I'd still prefer they win their first one right in Fergie's red-nose face..

Transfer window tittle-tattle

Doesn't seem to be a general one - bar the LFC-specific one in the other forum.

Not a lot's happened yet. Bridge to West Ham on loan?

And Yakubu's going to Leicester!

Yakubu will sign for Leicester City after passing a medical tomorrow. He joins on season long loan but there's scope for a permanent move

Bizarre move, that. Always thought he was at least the 2nd best striker at Everton.

But then i spose, when your preferred formation is 4-6-0, you dont need 2 strikers

[little dave hedgehog]

think you could use swoop plunder and ink for this sort of thing if you wanted to

bit late for that though i spose...

[Shaggy]

But it's in the LFC section.

[Shaggy]

Maybe merge them. Bring it in 'ere.

could bring it in to this forum, but i think we all know which thread has the better title.

Was going to start one of these yesterday when I saw on Twitter that Chelsea were linked with moves for G Cahill and Peinaar. But I didn't.

Was yours meant for all teams then rather than just Liverpool?

[little dave hedgehog]

i suppose it could have been. in fact there are already a few stories in there about players signing at other clubs, so sure. why not?

[Reece]

Cool I'll merge them then. I'll keep your thread title though as I think we can all agree this one is a bit ****.

[little dave hedgehog]

reece for mod.

Swoop, Plunder & Ink is thread title of the year, no doubt. Although the year is only a week and a half old of course.

[little dave hedgehog]

was started on dec 30

or is this "year" like the one in the grammies or the oscars?

[little dave hedgehog]

reece, shaggy, i kind of fancy doing that three way high five thing that dan once described in some music thread or another, if anybody remembers it.
