January Transfer Window (Confirmed Signings And Rumours))

[Mr Q]

1 - Gareth Bale has one assist in the Premier League this season, level with Newcastle United's Xisco. Inter-est.

Saw this, was a little surprised.Edit: Then remembered the collection of Crouch misses. /Guardian have f*cked up any transfer stories that might happen today. And he must be getting a sh*t load of abuse right now,

Going to ring up Gray and Keys for a pint later. Then maybe drown a few kittens

[The King]

The thing is, the Ronaldo story hes comapring it to, was of a deal being in place. This is just a sotry about a bid the will be launched in the summer. Very different.

[Mr Q]

Telegraph dismissed Guardian's exclusive within 18 minutes.

A club source told the Daily Telegraph that suggestions that Bale was destined to leave the club at the end of the season were "rubbish".It was reported today that Inter's president Massimo Moratti is considering breaking the British transfer record for a player who has won rave reviews for his buccaneering displays on the left wing for Spurs this season.

Shoddy journalism.

[Guest FA23]

its the kinda sh*t you expect to read on goal.com, pathetic....

[Guest Lens]

how is this even news?if Inter are that definite, they can make the offer now, but set the transfer to happen in summer if accepted, right?

[Guest FA23]

it wouldnt get accepted.

[Flojo]

Inter would just kidnap him and offer you the p, it's worked before.

[TF S4DK]

This serves one purpose...Gareth Bale's agent to rape Daniel Levy.

[Mr Q]

And now Inter's CEO is denying in Bloomberg. Seriously, what type of crap was this?

[Davicious X]

I doubt very much this was the news that was gonna drop.Some any cover story when the original deal fell through. Guardian still had to deliver something

Commons-Derby-Celtic(this guy was the best footballer in the Championship after El Maestro)Braafheid-Bayern-HoffenheimGreatest news of the whole window so far :Real Madrid midfielder Mahamadou Diarra is set to complete a move to French side Monaco.Monaco announced Diarra will fly into the principality on Thursday night before undergoing a medical and completing the permanent switch, which has been agreed between the clubs. The transfer will bring an end to a largely miserable four years in Spain for 29-year-old Diarra, who arrived from Lyon in 2006 but has struggled to win over fans and coaches alike. Under Jose Mourinho this season he has yet to start a match and will seek a fresh start at struggling Monaco, who are second from bottom in Ligue 1 and fighting to avoid relegation. Morocco international Salaheddine Sbai has joined Blackpool on a deal until the end of the season. Inter have signed Pazzini from Sampdoria, for 12m + Biabany + Caldirola(Pazzini will wear 7) and they also sign Kharja on loan from Genoa.Sporting Gijon's Jose Angel has rejected a 3 million move to Fiorentina.Galliani's in Barcelona. They've offered Espanyol 4 million for Didac Victor Ruiz to Napoli (6m + Jesus Datolo) is official. Sevilla are close to signing Rakitic from Schalke

[Guest Portuguese]

As if Inter would put a bid that high when they could get Ganso for much less.

[Guest Portuguese]

Finally O craque aka David Luiz is about to arrive !props for Rui Costa's hustling game!Chelsea appear on the verge of signing Benfica defender David Luiz after the Portuguese side told the country's stock exchange an offer had been made.The Blues have reportedly offered £26m for the Brazilian international. Carlo Ancelotti's side have four days to reach an agreement with Benfica before the transfer window closes. Chelsea are thought to have had a £17m bid for Luiz - a centre-half who can also play as a right or left-back, rejected at the end of December. The Benfica statement read: "We have received an offer from Chelsea Football Club for the acquisition of the sporting and economic rights of David Luiz.

Portugese stop talking like you are employed by Real Madrid.Marca reading mug.

[Mr Q]

He just dropped on his twitter that Chelsea made a £35 million bid for Torres. Which we rejected straight away. Are they taking the piss? £35 million

[Lot To Learn]

TonyBarretTimes Tony Barrett LFC have rejected the offer and told Chelsea Torres is not for sale
