Transfer Dealings
Posted by Anonymous
We shall try and post updates a few times a week on who is moving in the current transfer window and, as always, we will include opinions, and as much information as we can find.
Up till now there have been only a few moves along with a seemingly unlimited supply of rumors (many of which are thanks to Man City's new owners). This is nice as it gives us something to talk about.
Movers:
Wayne Bridge to Manchester City
The first of apparently 5 signings that Hughes has planned. They bought his services for an undisclosed fee but it is rumored to be around £10 million a ridiculously over priced fee for a player who has never proved that he is a top team player having disappointed Blues fans for five years. Don't get me wrong he has talent as he showed with Southampton and his loan spell at Fulham but I don't think he is good enough to play on a team with serious plans to be a top contender. With Phillip Lahm and Yuri Zhirkov possibly moving this January, Bridge seems like an even stranger signing.
Jermain Defoe to Tottenham Hotspur
Probably not the only deal manager Harry Redknapp will make this January. The English international who had an impressive start to the season has joined the Spurs after a few days where it looked like it might not happen because of the Spur's premature unveiling of Defoe at the Carling Cup tie against Burnley.
Manchester United entered the transfer market for what Sir Alex says will be the only time this January when they signed Serbian duo Adem Ljajic and Zoran Tosic of Partizan Belgrade.
"That is the end of the transfer business at Manchester United this year,'' Ferguson said. "There will definitely not be anything else this January.''
Seventeen year old Ljajic will continue to play for Partizan Belgrade for another year as Ferguson feels the stability will help the player. Twenty-one year old Tosic, however could make his first appearance for Man United this season.
The Shakers:
Carlos Tevez to ????
It is any bodies guess as to where Tevez will go (although it is rumored Real Madrid are after his services) but this contract saga leads me to believe that he will not be with Man United come February.
