Next Zidane, Sofaine Feghouli, Going Nowhere in January (http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/1722/french-ligue-1/2008/12/29/1033119/next-zidane-sofiane-feghouli-going-nowhere-in-january)

Comparisons with the great Zinedine Zidane may be a little premature for 18 year-old attacking midfielder Sofiane Feghouli, however, the Grenoble player already has a lengthy list of clubs chasing him that even the great Zizou would be proud of.

The majority of Europe’s elite sides are represented in the hunt for the French U-21 international, with Liverpool, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Barcelona amongst a clutch of clubs chasing the highly regarded young talent.

It seems that these teams will have to wait until the summer before a bidding war begins for the Paris-born star as he revealed to 10Sport that he is not prepared to leave the south-east of France before the summer.

“I want to finish the season with Grenoble and do my best to help the club continue in Ligue 1,” he explained. “Personally, I’d like to stay in France. That is my priority. I don’t want to go abroad to be regarded as a player well down the order and rarely play. I need game time and I will leave my advisor to handle these things. For the moment, nothing is concrete.”

The news that Feghouli is receptive to a move to one of Ligue 1’s bigger sides is sure to alert the likes of Olympique Lyonnais, Olympique de Marseille and even hometown club Paris Saint-Germain, all of whom would surely like an additional player of Feghouli’s quality amongst their ranks.

Pompey Denounce Johnson To Liverpool Rumors (http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/751/portsmouth/2008/12/30/1033599/portsmouth-denounce-johnson-to-liverpool-rumours)
"We have had no approaches for any of our players and that includes Glen.

"I know that his agent has taken this story up with the newspaper and is pushing for an apology.

“Glen is livid, everyone is, it's an outrageous story.

"To say we have had a bid for him is a lie, it's just silly season."

I would like if this happened, as long as he doesn't play well against us. One of my favorite players that no longer wears the Liverpool Red. I would also be way more interested in games that Tottenham would play if he nailed down a regular role.

Did he not move back to Spain for family reasons, despite the fact Benitez wanted him to stay? That sounds all very odd, to me.

"It will be difficult to bring anyone in January because we have a good squad.

"To bring in anyone better than what we’ve got isn’t easy and could be expensive," he said.

Lets not forget Adam Hammil who's loan with Blackpool officially finished on 31/12/08 and who could come into the squad for Pennant.

Our "possibilities" could look like this for the wing and forward spots...therefore Kuyt would be able to play the majority of matches at RW.

RW: Kuyt, Yossi, El Zhar, Hammill, Babel
LW: Riera, Babel, Hammill, El Zhar, Yossi

Every time I hear "New Zidane" I want to puke.

Are tribal football posts allowed here or should I start up another crappy rumour thread?;)

Liverpool finalising deal for AGF prospect Victor Palsson
02.01.09 | tribalfootball.com
Icelander Victor Palsson is set to sign with Liverpool.

Palsson, who is a strong midfield player, originally had a trial at Liverpool’s Melwood training ground in October.

He has recently been promoted to Danish side AGF’s first team, but now they are braced for his departure, subject to medical.

[CCSC_STRIKER20]

No, you must start a new thread. ;)

You won't want to anger the Führer (26)! :D

I think this thread should remain open. Where we can banter and post awesome and incredulous rumors for this transfer window. All papers are welcome, except that rag that shall not be named!

YNWA!

You can post any shit rumors in here. :)

Liverpool and Tottenham Target Lafita
Angel Lafita could be on the move soon, with two Premier League clubs joining a long list of clubs interested in him...

Deportivo winger Angel Lafita is a wanted man, with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool being the latest sides to chase his signature.

According to The People, the two clubs are at the front of the queue to sign the winger, who has scored five goals so far in his second season at Deportivo.

Lafita has made no secret in recent times of his desire to move to a bigger club.

The player's contract is not due for expiry until the summer of 2012 but it is believed that Depor are willing to sell for a fee of around €3 million.

Manchester City Want Gerrard, Lampard, and Messi (http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/710/manchester-city/2009/01/18/1066071/report-manchester-city-want-gerrard-lampard--messi-after-kaka)
And now UK tabloid The Daily Mail claims that the Sky Blues will soon set their sights on another trio of world-class targets: Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, Chelsea's Frank Lampard and Barcelona's Lionel Messi.

Juve Chase Kuyt and Babel (http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/1713/liverpool/2009/01/18/1066143/juventus-chase-liverpool-duo-to-replace-nedved-reports)
The Corso Galileo Ferraris executives are already scouring the transfer market to find the right man who will be able to fill Nedved’s boots for the long-term at the Stadio Olimpico and La Gazzetta dello Sport claims this morning that director of sport Alessio Secco has already drawn up a shortlist.

Liverpool forwards Dirk Kuyt and Ryan Babel, capable of playing as wingers or strikers, seem to fit the bill. Kuyt is expected to command a fee of at least €12 million, but Juve consider him one of their primary targets.

The other ready-made option for the Bianconeri could be his competriot Babel, whose price would also well exceed the €10m mark.

LOL! At both of these rumors.

Though I guess getting rid of Babel wouldn't be the end of the world.

:D

Have they never watched England? Gerrard and Lampard can't play together!

[CCSC_STRIKER20]

Have they never watched England? Gerrard and Lampard can't play together!

I would love to see an estimate of how much it would cost to get all three of those players.

I would be willing to say that it would be 350 M.
