Above are the transfers for Febuary and January. This was probably the most boring transfer window ever but here are your top 10 January transfers:

10:Danny Welbeck: Man-U to Preston loan
In a normal window this wouldn't even make it into the top 20 but I'm desperate. A great young striker with bags of potential will move to Darren Ferguson's Preston.
9: Jack Wilshere: Arsenal to Bolton loan
You can already see Owen Coyle starting to try and make Bolton less into a side who can only kick people
8: Amr Zaki: Zamalek to Hull loan
Congratulations Phil Brown. You have increased your crazy manager CV by signing one of the worst professionals in the history of the game.
7: Victor Moses: Crystal Palace to Wigan around £2.5 million
A great young player gotten for a cheap price tag, should shine.
6: Maxi Rodriguez: Atletico Madrid to Liverpool free
A good Spanish player signed for a very good price
5: Sol Campell: - to Arsenal free
GRANDAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:Patrick Vieira
ditto
3: Chris Smalling: Fulham to Man-U about £14 millon
Small by name, small by nature. It puts the transfer window to shame as this was the biggest signing
2: Robbie Keane: Tottenham to Celtic loan
Quite frankly, he is an over-rated player who hops clubs regularily. He had exactly the same line when he went to Celtic as when he went to Liverpool 'I've always supported Celtic'. Yeah, like you have with Tottenham, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Wolves and many others.
1: Adam Johnson: Middlesborough to Man-City £8 million
A great young England hopeful, it looks like he will shine.
p.s. Sorry I havn't posted in ages. I've been on holiday.
John Terry:
This is the moral issue that everybody seems to be split on, should John Terry be the captain of England or shold he no? I, personally hope that he does get kicked out (although knowing the FA he'll get away with a serious warning like he has done for the past 5 times) I think that Ferdinand or Beckham or even Gerrard would be a better candinate for the England captain. There is a limit to what you can do and footballers need to learn that they are not gods. Terry should never have been given the England role and I hope it will be taken away from him.
Results since Sunday:
Premiership:
Arsenal 1-3 Man-U
Man-City 2-0 Portsmouth
Sunderland 0-0 Stoke
Hull 1-1 Chelsea
Fulham 1-0 Portsmouth
African Cup of nations final:
Egypt 1-0 Ghana
FA Cup 4th round replay:
Crystal Palace 1-0 Wolves
Notts County 2-0 Wigan
Tottenham 3-1 Leeds

Sunday, 31 January 2010

Predictions:
Man-U 2:2 Arsenal
Portsmouth 0-2 Man-City
Man-U vs Arsenal is set to be the first ever football match in 3D and it is being shown in 9 pubs in the UK. The people watching will need dark glasses to watch and it's all set to be the new Avatar.
Intresting poll I just had. Not many people voted but it looks like, most of you think that Liverpool will somehow fluke their way into the top 4.
Matches of note over the past 3 days:
Carling Cup semi-final second leg:
Man-U 3-1 Man-City (4-3 on aggregate)
Woo hoo!
The money spenders have finally been put in their place after months of boasting about the financial situation at Old Trafford we have stll got the better team! Wayne Rooney scored in injury time to send Man-U through to the final against Aston Villa.
African Cup of nations semi-finals:
Egypt 4-0 Algeria
Ghana 1-0 Nigeria
3rd place play-off:
Nigeria 1-0 Algeria
Egypt thrashed Algeria in a grudge match and will be looking to win the African Cup of Nations for the seventh time in the final against Ghana which will take place today My prediction is 2-1 to Egypt as the team spirit will be very high after the win against Algeria. Togo have also been banned for the next two Cup's because they withdrew from the compititon. This is incredibly in-human of CAF. Most people would have thought that they would say sorry for the Togo squad being machine-gunned but no. All we get is 'they are banned from the next 2 competitions'. Hopefully, the African teams will boycott the next tournament to show support.
Premier League:
Everton 1-0 Wigan
West Ham 0-0 Blackburn
Liverpool 2-0 Bolton
Hull 2-2 Wolves
Aston Villa 2-0 Fulham
Chelsea 2-1 Burnley
Birmingham 1-1 Tottenham
After the details of John Terry's affair with Wayne Bridge's girlfriend came out, it looks like he will be stripped of the England captaincy. This didn't stop him scoring the winner for Chelsea. You have to feel sorry for Burnley's new manager Brian Laws. Fulham's early form is falling apart after 5 losses in a row while the new owners of West Ham watched a boring draw.

Transfer watch:
So far this transfer window has beeen incredibly boring so we can keep this short.
Stoke player Leon Cort has moved to Burnley for 1.5 mllion.
Craig Gardner has moved from Aston Villa to cash strapped Birmingham for £3 mil.
Vladimir Weiss. The young left back has been loaned to Bolton from Man-City
Robinho looks certain to move from Man-City to boost his chances of playing in the World Cup.
Danny Welbeck, the teenage sensation has been loaned from Man-U to Preston. This is probably because Alex Ferguson's son, Darren manages Preston.
Jo has been loaned out again to Galasataray after being sent home in disgrace from Everton.
Amr Zaki has been loaned to Hull. In the first half of last season he was one of the top scorers in the Prem. Sine then, he's kind of been forgotten.
