Winter Transfer Deadline Day!

[the4thjuliek.livejournal.com]

So today (February 2) is the day that winter transfer window closes. And let's face it, summers transfers are way more fun and worrying.

But anyway, what are your thoughts about this window? Has your club signed someone useful (or useless)? Have they missed out on any special player that you had your eye on? Any news/hopes/dreams about summer transfers? And while we're on the subject, what were the best transfers made by your club? Any shocking ones? Ones that made you weep or cheer or laugh?

There are tissues for tears and champagne for celebration available (silly, I know.)




Something worth reading (and I agree):

How much does the January transfer deadline day matter?

To keep track of things:

The Telegraph's live thread for deadline day.

The Independent's live thread.

The Guardian's live thread.

The BBC's live thread.

Also, if you're bored, let's make this a regular FFA.

Oh Kara
he is currently at Genk, the youth club of Courtois. He is a defender. Not top, top quality but a good one. He's only 25 so his best years are still to come.

I think my old laptop was Vista(?) It wasn't bad, it was out for a very brief amount of time before they quickly switched to 7... I didn't see a lot of difference tbh... (maybe it was the home pc that was vista... one or both were...)

Yeah I don't really use websites on my phone (esp tumblr omg that app is the slowest thing in the world)

OH yeah! Cannot unsee.

Ah well, Milan is at least a beautiful city. There are worse places to be banned to.

So I hear Poldi isn't happy in Italy.

What a shocker!

Clicking should make that photo bigger.

He's only been there for 3 weeks but Inter is a unhappy place right now. He should have gone to BVB. He knows what a relegation battle is and it's not far from Köln.

[enen-chan.livejournal.com]

Great, now I do too, thanks T-T

RE: Because I know what some of you like!

[marsyke.livejournal.com]

Thanks! So I see he mentions Beckham. Does that mean we'll see him in underwear soon?

[koyuki]

not to snark, but what is he unhappy about? is he not getting the first-team minutes he wanted? the language? :/

And he and Kevin Großkreutz seem to get along very well.

I don't understand Handegg any more than you, and I grew up with people who love it.

No official word from Celtic. Probably found GMS's legs are made out of chalk and gravy.

[areusuretho.livejournal.com]

I'm watching the live coverage right now I'm and extremely nervous.

[areusuretho.livejournal.com]

Hahaha this is so sassy, I love it.

[izaguirre.livejournal.com]

Per-Schürrle-Reus tribrid (who is also two years through a law degree!) signs for Celtic on a three-a-half-year deal. :)

Don't forget the new name we have: Alexis FC.

Because having 19 goalscorers this season doesn't matter!
