January Transfer Window 2013 (General)

[Tee]

Wonder how long before they go for a French Manager? I am sure there are some get out clauses in that 8 year contract.

[Reece]

They should get in Gerard Depardieu Houllier

[Shaggy]

Maybe their Manager should change his name to Alan Depardew.....

Surely Alain Pardieu?

[Fernandinho]

Yeah Juve will be paying massive wages, they'll be doing the same in the summer when they bring in the player to play off Llorente. I can see it being Alexis Sanchez, they'll definitely be trying for Suarez though, as will Bayern.

Giovinco?

[Fosterbloke]

Surely Alain Pardieu?

Alan Departplatformtwo

Sissoko for around €2M is a great, great piece of business as was signing Debuchy... as for the others, I'm really not sure.

Said to a Newcastle-supporting mate of mine last night - Newcastle could **** their own season right up here by signing so many new players from a weak league and trying to bring them all into the team at once.

One of the guys is a left back, another is a centre back and Debuchy at right back... so he could have three quarters of his defence completely new. Shift Santon forward?

I personally think he'll go three in the middle - Tiote holding, Cabaye spraying the ball around and Sissoko as the box-to-box but again that's a serious change to be making mid-season.

[Fredo]

I think Newcastle made some bargains there.

Two cracking deals

As far as I can tell Tiote and Cabaye have been fit for only about 50% of the games this season and their defence has been terrible. Buying a whole new side was probably more or less a necessity if they want to move away from the relegation battle.

Still not sure who will score the goals for them though.

[Captain Stu]

United have confirmed a deal for Zaha.

[Tee]

United have confirmed a deal for Zaha.

*******s.

[Captain Stu]

*******s.

Why? He's not that good.

[Reece]

They're welcome to him for £15m.

[Captain Stu]

They're welcome to him for £15m.

Exactly.

I'd pay £8M for him or £14M for Henderson over £15M for Zaha, he's good... but he's not worth that sort of outlay on little evidence that he's good enough.

I hope this turns into another Bebe.

[Reece]

Or Zoran Tošić.
