Another transfer deadline day has come and gone, so here at The Transfer Tavern we take a look at the main dealings from the final day.
Assamoah Gyan (Rennes – Sunderland)
Sunderland have broken their transfer record to bring Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan to the Stadium of Light. Bruce became a fan of Gyan after he scored three times during the World Cup in the summer.
Robinho (Man City – AC …
Manchester United’s newly signed Bebé was ‘dropped’ from the reserves match with Manchester City’s reserves last night. This news has conjured up suppressed feelings from the author as this could possibly be the strangest signing that Sir Alex Ferguson has ever made.
Following the World Cup, rumours circled that Mesut Özil was to join Manchester United, but as we now know the German was prized away from
QPR remain to be the early pace setters in the Npower Championship after their third win in three games maintains their 100% record.
A 4-0 win, a 3-0 win and now a 2-0 win over Nigel Adkins Scunthorpe means that QPR are yet to concede a goal, never mind drop points. Doncaster were the unfortunate team that had to endure Craig Bellamy’s debue for his home town club, after he set up …
Huffanpuff, Steve Huffanpuff…
Rueful defending and a distinct lack of creativity cost Sunderland three points in a game which they really should have looked to win.
Peter Odemwingie scored the winner in the final ten minutes of a game derived of any real quality, not to say that West Brom didn’t deserve their win.
The home side were the only team who looked like scoring as Peter …
With John Johnston
David Moyes will hope to put last weeks defeat at Blackburn behind him with a win on home soil. Everton’s first home game of the season should see the team replicate the form from the end of last season which caused Wenger and Ferguson to have the Toffees down as the surprise party poopers towards the top of the table. Expectations are high at …
Mourinho to be Drog dealer?
Jose Mourinho is evidently not content with the capture of Mesut Ozil alone, and would love nothing more than to knock Barcelona off their perch, thus completing a hat trick of title wins in each of Europe’s “top three” leagues.
To add Real Madrid to the honours achieved with Chelsea and Inter Milan would be a gold standard distinction for the self appointed “Special One”, and now the …
Sky Sports News caused outrage amongst Liverpool fans after altering images on banners in the Annfield crowd for a pre-match montage preceding the 1-1 draw to Arsenal on Sunday.
The images were altered to show Roy Hodgson in the same picture of managing legends Paisley, Shankly, Dalglish and recently sacked Rafa Benitez, implying the newly appointed Hodgson is certain to replicate fortuitous times on Merseyside.
Fans took this as a sign …
Bundesliga bound?
Ryan Babel last night failed to dismiss rumours that he could be on his way to Wolfsburg.
Reports have been circulating – both here and in Germany – that Steve McClaren is preparing a £9m bid for the Liverpool player.
Talks between the two clubs are at an advanced stage and Babel is known to be well aware of the wealthy German clubs interest.
Babel was asked by a fan on Twitter whether …
Blackpool fans at the DW Stadium
Well, well, well, what a weekend of football we’ve had. You can always count on the opening weekend of the Premier League to throw up a surprise or two.
The main surprise obviously came from the DW Stadium where the supposed whipping boys of the league dished out a whipping of their own. So, what has the the opening fixtures of the Premier League taught us …
Who will be lifting the trophy come May?
The new Premier League season kicks off tomorrow, so Joe Redmond takes a look at the 2010-11 season ahead and puts his neck on the line.
Arsenal
So much lovely football, so little success. Arsenal are often praised for making the beautiful game just that – beautiful – but the club are heading into their 6th season without a …
Escapini, LOL! Point taken! Got a little carried away (removing bug from ze a**)! Craig, mate, no offense!
