The Inevitable January Transfer Market Topic

[METALMAN]

Kris Boyd from Rangers to Birmingham is rumoured. Rangers say they've rejected a £3m offer, but will listen to anything higher, while Birmingham say they've already had an offer accepted and they've a 5 year deal on the table for him waiting to be discussed. While it would be nice to see the best Scottish players stay in Scotland, there's a part of me that wants to see how he'll fair in the EPL should Birmingham win promotion.

I hope he goes. I think Kilmarnock get a cut of the transfer fee.

[Captain Kirk]

20% Kilmarnock get from the fee supposedly. Wonder who the hell put that in? He was in his last 6 months of his contract when he left was he not?

[METALMAN]

I think so but we were totally ripped off.

It was weird that we got £2 million for Naismith but like a fifth of that for Boyd.

Apparently, WBA are going for Harewood from Villa. Oh No.

Matthew Etherington has signed for Stoke.

That's a really good transfer for them, I've always rated Etherington as a decent left winger and was always a bit disappointed when Spurs sold him.

[The Future]

United have signed some random Belgian defender from Stoke apparently.

I wonder how he is since he's never even gotten a look in at Stoke.

[TheArsenal]

He was at United's partner club in Belgium before he was at Stoke.

And for someone who claimed not to be buying anyone during January, Fergie seems pretty busy.

[Matt]

Fergie's lost it.

The guy's been on loan in non-league football, was rejected by Bournemouth and unable to break into the Stoke team (at Championship and Premiership level), yet Fergie signs him on loan... What?

BBC says Fergie signed him for three years. Not a loan deal.

Yeah, I just checked his wiki and it's reporting that. TimesOnline was the first result when I googled it and they said end of season loan.

Also Ritchie da Laet is his name.

Lee Trundle In

[Sam]

I guess at 100k it's not a big risk, that must be the same amount that Ronaldo gets a week at least. Silly football and its crazy money.

Peter Lovenkrands (remember him Rangers fans?) trying out with Newcastle

[Crybaby Bunting]

He doesn't seem that bad of a player, he'll come on a free and might get a few assists between now and the end of the season.

Pretty much he'll be a perfect cheap squad player with benefits

Stoke have signed James Beattie from Sheff Utd.

I'm sad to see him go as he was ridiculously awesome for us last season and was doing okay this year. Still, it's a nice buy for Stoke and him and Etherington might be just what they need to tip a few results their way.

[Captain Kirk]

Lovenkrands only plays well when his contract up and also is only really that good when he is played through the middle.

I love that move. Glad to see the new teams making solid moves.

Hull appears to be attempting to shore up the midfield.

[King Ellis]

I love the rumours of Boa Morte to Hull saying that Hull wil actually pay money for him, like 2m. Has he done ANYTHING whilst at West Ham? Everytime I see him playing for them he has been awful.

[Liam]

He only ever played well for Fulham. Honestly.

[TheArsenal]

He certainly did nothing while he was at Arsenal.
