El-Shaarawy to Roma for the rest of the season is happening. http://www.espnfc.com/as-roma/story/2794069/stephan-el-shaarawy-excited-for-loan-move-to-roma
Papy Djilobodji loaned from Chelsea to Werder Bremen. Dunno why Jose brought him in if he was never going to play him.
He didn't. One of our scouts liked him so he was bought. Same with the CB we bought from reading and loaned back to them who has now been benched in the championship. No one seems to be sure who actually makes the transfer recommendations and decisions on who to buy. A few like Costa and cesc were pushed for by mourinho and approved but some are just out of left field and no one knows who actually makes that decision
Swansea was linked to 19 different strikers this window and none seem all that likely. Fucking crazy.
Swansea signs a new midfielder today to replace Jonjo join our under 21's. Ryan Blair from Falkirk. We love raiding some Falkirk.
Also looks like Swansea are going to be grabbing Alberto Paloschi from Chievo....I know nothing about him but hope he can stay onside.
Miazga to Chelsea. Not a smart move for him IMO. Will probably end up in their horrible loan system and you've got to be Belgian to ever be heard from again once you're in it.
Agree Chelsea isn't the right fit.supposedly there is a no loan clause so I guess he will be fighting for time on the pitch.
Apparently Newcastle still going to try and sign another player or two. Sequiera from Atletico is rumored to be coming in on loan, and going back in for Berahino
Don't think Berahino goes anywhere until summer. That is what Peace has said and he is almost as big of a cunt as Levy with transfers.
Which is stupid because they won't get 18-20 like Newcastle is rumored to be offering if they wait til summer
Granted I haven't seen him play in a few years and he fell out of favor with Simeone but that seems like a really good signing for them.
Rumors: Oumar Niasse from Lokomotiv to Everton. Seydou Doumbia to Newcastle. Emmanuele Emenike to West Ham.
the Bordeaux pillaging continues? Rumor here... Leicester City is going after Clément Chantôme. Dude is a rock at the back.
Now it is getting saucy I don't think Newcastle make the drop after all of the investment made this window but at best it is a lateral move for Berahino (performance wise). Newcastle are a historically bigger club but at the moment aren't in the best spot. He has burned all his bridges at WBA now though so is probably open to moving anywhere.
That is a high risk/reward situation. He has the talent to be a 20 goal scorer, but his attitude is kind of shit. I guess you are happy to see Ashley open the checkbook in a bid to strengthen the squad for the home stretch though.
Scott Wilson @Scottwilsonecho 6m6 minutes ago Sky reporting that Dembele's move from Fulham to Tottenham is off. Could have interesting implications regarding McCormack.... #Boro
It will be off and on at least 3 more times before the window shuts, inevitably ending with us not signing him.
