Awesome.
Yep, Rubin Kazan.
In December Carlo Ancelotti said they had no use or interest in Beckham. I'm sure he's thrilled with this signing.
Damaio wouldn't sign for me in Football Manager unless I gave him an absurd contract. It is okay that I don't like him in real life for that?
Quick! Somebody sell the man a bridge!
Yes.
Good stuff.
Yeah, it's dead.
Excellent player (who has deserved a bigger stage for some time), but that's seriously crazy money.
Aha, he's the guy who had to retire at 26 because of an ankle injury. I remember hearing the sad story about him now.
Zing! I was going to go with "I guess Spurs dodged a bullet here since the market is telling us that Willian isn't quite as good as Andy Carroll."
Fullback prospect Adam Smith will remain on loan at Millwall for the rest of the season.
In other Bolton news they apparently are getting a Sierra Leone international on loan from Partizan Belgrade. What?
And in a more traditional paradigm, a Slovak player on loan from a Czech team.
The apostrophe must have cost them something.
Diminutive attacking midfielder/wing forward prospect Alex Pritchard heads to Peterborough on loan for the rest of the season. No word on whether he signed a new contract/extension as part of the deal.
Will he be donating the money he gets for his image rights, too?
Would it be cynical of me to suggest that he won't, as that probably doesn't fall under the purview of FFP?
Gomes moves to Hoffenheim on loan for the rest of the season. He's still got a year left on his Tottenham contract, but I reckon we've probably seen the last of the Octopus in a Spurs shirt. I for one will miss him terribly.
I have a soft spot for all the CL qualifying players and the players that got us past the two-headed monster from Milan. Legends, all of them.
We're not the only ones cynical about Brand Beckham. From The Guardian's transfer blog.
Mmmhhh nachos *drool*.
If ever an EPL organization could remind one of the underpants gnomes, it's the current QPR regime.
You're welcome Gooners. That one was free of charge.
Signing a new player would almost be like a.... uh, a new... signing. Dammit, that joke doesn't work if they're going to sign people.
Are they any different that Chelsea or Man City or Fulham? It's clearly not being run as a business.
With that said, Bale is clearly the higher upside player (I think mainly as a result of unmatched size and athleticism) and I doubt anyone in the world would trade him for Walcott.
It somewhat reminds me of the Lebron vs. Carmelo argument win they first came out (remember that? what a laugh!). Lebron's unmatched physical gifts far outweighed any current skill deficits he may have versus Carmelo and, in time, he was able to close those gaps for the most part as well. I see the same outlook for Bale vs. Walcott.
I do feel Walcott has easily been Arsenal's best player this season.
Presumably 'Arry rang up Tony Fernandes and alerted him to the fact that, while he meets the minimum wage criteria to play for QPR, Bentley is in fact too s**t even for them.
Well, Man City is at least good. Fulham...eh, who gives a crock about Fulham?
I just mean in sense of clubs that lose money with no hope of getting it back. Whether Man City is good or not seems besides the point in the context of if their business model makes sense. It clearly doesn't make any business sense but I don't think profit is what they're after. That sums up QPR pretty well, too.
2005-07: Jonny
2008-2009: Heurelho
2010: Jonny/Heurelho
2011-Present: Jonny
Around Spring 2010 I was finally starting to say it "Gomez" and then Jonny rebounded into a contributing member of a Division-winning team and it was back to "Gomes," rhymes with "holmes."
That's Rosie, of course...
With the huge difference being that Tony Fernandes is genuinely ridiculously wealthy and not a money launderer posing as being ridiculously wealthy.
Maybe he asked for outlandish wages.
I think it's hilarious that a lot of Spurs fans have grown to hate him. It's not his fault this transfer never happens and that Spurs come back in for him every window. I do think Spurs need to move on if it doesn't work out again. It's clear Inter are waiting for a club with deeper pockets to come calling. Good luck to them.
I was referring to my own 1606. Which is to say I understand those fans.
I know. I'm just enjoying that real life is imitating your video game!
What the hell happened in 2008? There was a big jump that year that seems to have held up (though this year is a bit down making my point a bit less meaningful). Was there a rule change that kicked in or a new TV contract or something?
Evidently he's still in the air and doesn't know the deal is off yet. Can we call this a Reverse Berbatov?
That's hilarious, but why the hell is Shaun Derry in there?
Attacking midfielder, mostly plays on the left, but is ambipedal, so can play elsewhere if needed. Good technically, but fairly raw still, could use some more stamina, as he seems to fade late in games, when not subbed. And I have seen maybe 2 of his matches, plus some Zweite Liga highlights, so the probability of me talking out of my ass is pretty high, but it's the internet, so whatever.
In Freiburg's 4-4-2, I assume he will mostly share time on the left with Caligiuri, who against all odds is German, and has been pretty awful. With maybe the occasional spot service on the right for Schmid, who against all odds is French, and has also been not good.
Only a little? I'll try harder then.
Alex Pritchard has signed a 2.5-year contract, so he'll remain Spurs after the half-season loan to Peterborough.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Yay!
But that's why I have 4 tabs open on my browser on soccer sites right now....
I've got bug-eyes and carpal tunnel right now.
I'm not sure how Shea fits at Stoke since he's an attacking player. But he is tall.
And he has the requisite backpfeifengesicht.
They play the same position, other than that they are polar opposites. Am mostly familiar with him from his Helsinki days, but he is a much better passer than Spearing. Main concern is if he can deal with the physicality of the EPL. His defensive game tends to rely more on vision and intelligence, and picking out opponents passes, than being a PITA like Spearing. Though he is pretty good at winning headers too.
And interesting side note: He lost both his parents at age 7 due to the civil war in Sierra Leone.
I know I'm fully indoctrinated as a Spurs fan as I just assume that even if he signs now he will be crap.
You are misremembering, sir. Jenas was ahead of Sandro on the pecking order until inuries forced 'Arry's hand. That said, Jenas really isn't very good. As bad as he looks on tv he's even worse in person. Mrs. Shooty even noticed how much slower he was than other players a couple of years ago.
edit: Let's also remember that Jenas played in the 3-1 win over Inter at the Lane. Legend!
But he was so good in FM10!
I has a happy.
I don't understand QPR's interest in Jenas. He's terrible. 'Arry had him on his squad and never played him, because he's terrible. But apparently Jenas to QPR is a thing that's probably happening.
My guess is taking Jenas is part of the loan "fee" for Townsend.
Imagine Steven Fletcher with the technical skills of a Brazilian midfielder. He's a big, strong center forward who is good in the air, can take a defender on with the dribble and is very technical in and around the box. He's also very good at involving other players on a move. He's no sure thing like a Neymar so I think the 16 to 19 million (depending on who you believe) Spurs are offering is fair, especially since no other clubs of note have made an offer. If Inter want to keep him to achieve their own ambitions, then fair play to them, but I don't think Spurs are low-balling them at all. He's their Modric, basically.
Twitter crashing a few times today was the best thing that could have happened for them.
What time, locally, does the window close? If it's at midnight they're missing out on it being a premium television event.
11 pm.
The last window deadline I worked from home and so could watch sky's coverage. It was glorious!
You go straight to hell!
Spurs ITK's think it's going to happen now. Against my better judgement, I'm getting excited.
Triffic stuff.
History and European law basically. Teams legally can't simply assign a player to a different team against the players will. They have to negotiate a new contract with the player. For every player you add, that's 2 more parties that can muck up the trade. Also it can be difficult for teams to find trading partners that match up, especially for lower level teams, dealing with the big clubs. Money is just... simpler.
Buy all the French players.
Same as in baseball really, find undervalued assets. In football that is mostly scouting the less exposed players, similar to Latin American scouting in baseball. Youth academies can be productive, but the impact is typically much less than in baseball, since there are no indentured servitude contracts for youth players, and the players have so much more power.

As far as I can tell, neither of them are at all related to former USMTN stalwart Paul Caliguri, who spent more than five years playing in Germany in the late 80s/early 90s (HSV, Meppen, Rostock, Freiburg and St. Pauli). He actually won the last ever DDR Oberliga with Rostock in 1991.
