Hey with the transfer window open, i thought it would be a good idea to have a thread with all the latest happenings and gossip <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> West Ham have completed the signing of Fulham winger Luis Boa Morte. Boa Morte arrives at Upton Park for an undisclosed fee and has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at the club. The Portuguese international successfully passed a medical and agreed personal terms at West Ham on Thursday. The former Arsenal man is Alan Curbishley's first signing at Upton Park as he looks to rebuild the side. Fulham boss Chris Coleman admitted he was disappointed to lose his skipper Boa Morte. "I am of course disappointed that Luis has decided his future is not with Fulham FC," Coleman told the club's official website. "He has been a great servant to the club and we all wish him well. "However, I have always said that if a player is not happy playing for this club and expresses a desire to go, then I would be prepared to let him leave; and this was the case with Luis. "Having discussed this with the chairman and the managing director, we believe it is in the best interest of the club to invest in players who are prepared to commit their future to us. "We will continue to add strength and depth this window and, if necessary, the next to ensure that we have a strong enough squad of players for the future to enable us to push on as a club, which remains our ambition." </div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Bayern Munich appear to have changed their stance on Owen Hargreaves' availability after hinting they would be prepared to do a deal at the right price. Manchester United were thwarted in their efforts to land the Canadian-born England international from the Bundesliga giants last summer after declaring their interest in the star. The Red Devils are reportedly still keen to land the 25-year-old, although chief executive David Gill recently stated the club prefers to do business at the end of the season. However, Bayern have countered that move by changing their stance on the player's future and conceding they would be forced to strongly consider large offers for the England ace. "In principle, we were right to stick to our guns over Owen," Bayern president Franz Beckenbauer is quoted in the Daily Mail. "If a player has signed a new contract with us, then tries to move for more money, we are within our rights to say no. "But this is different and if we receive an offer on the scale that has been mentioned it is going to have to be given serious consideration."</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Wigan have signed David Unsworth from Premiership rivals Sheffield United. Unsworth was out of the picture at Bramall Lane after dropping down the pecking order in Neil Warnock's plans. The former Everton man was placed on the transfer list last month by United and Wigan have moved to offer him an escape route out of the Yorkshire club by signing him on a free transfer. The 33-year-old will help provide cover in the Wigan defence with Andy Webster on the verge of a move to Rangers. Unsworth becomes Wigan's third signing of the month following the captures of Kristofer Haestad and Andreas Granqvist. </div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Fifa look ready to scupper Liverpool's attempt to sign Javier Mascherano on a loan deal, despite reports indicating that the Argentinian midfielder is close to a move to Merseyside. Mascherano looks set to become one of the first departures under new West Ham boss Alan Curbishley after failing to adjust to life in the Premiership since his shock transfer deadline day signing from Corinthians. The holding midfielder has pleaded with The Hammers to let him seek pastures new, and Reds boss Benitez has reputedly offered Mascherano an escape route from his Upton Park malaise. Widespread reports in the English media indicate that talks regarding a loan switch to Anfield are at an advanced stage, but Fifa rules prohibit a player from appearing for three separate sides in the same season. Now a spokesman for the governing body has confirmed that the rules will not be broken to facilitate Mascherano's potential move to Merseyside. "The rules are very clear. Article 5.3 states that, although a player can be registered for a maximum of three clubs during the period from 1st July to 30th June, he is only eligible to play in official matches for two clubs in this period," a Fifa spokesman told The Times. "In the case of Mascherano or [Carlos] Tevez, they have already played for Corinthians and West Ham United. "The rule is binding. It cannot be deactivated just because it suits the clubs and the player in a certain instance. "These rules were drawn up to protect the interests of players and clubs and to provide more stability in football. "If a case was formally submitted to the Fifa bodies, then of course the Fifa bodies would look at it, but the view from our legal department is very clear that the regulations cannot be broken." </div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Alan Pardew insists a ?7million bid for Charlton Athletic striker Darren Bent 'isn't going to touch the sides'. Speculation has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to bid that sum to bring Bent to White Hart Lane in January. New Charlton boss Pardew admits his intention is to keep the club's top scorer at The Valley, and certainly would not countenance accepting a ?7million bid. But Pardew also acknowledges that a knee injury to Bent, which will keep the England cap out for five weeks, has given him a problem. "It sounds like his price has dropped if you're thinking ?7million because ?7million isn't going to touch the sides for Darren Bent," said Pardew on Sky Sports News. "This is a top-class player in my view. After watching him for just a week and a bit, he's an England player and that's how he should set his goals. "At the moment he's a Charlton player and that's what he will stay. "His injury at the moment gives us a problem. We cannot afford to have him out of the team for five weeks, so I'm having to assess it and weigh up all the situations and I'll have to do what's right for Charlton Football Club. "My priority when he was here, and when he was fit, was that he was not going to go anywhere, I was categoric about that. "The injury changes things. We are trying to locate a strike to replace him, so we'll see. "Certainly the figures for Darren Bent being bandied around are way too low." Spurs later confirmed to Sky Sports News that the club had not made any bid for the former Ipswich Town striker. </div>

Plenty of gossip centreing around Shevchenko. He's been linked with going to Newcastle in a cut-price deal, back to Milan for £20m or back to Dinamo Kiev on loan. Also, Chelsea moving for MILAN BAROS. That's right. And they've been told to stump up £18m after an approach for Darren Bent. United still chasing Gareth Bale, Owen Hargeaves and have enquired about Ashley Young at Watford.
18 million for Darren Bent, PMSL. What was Pardrew smoking that day! Shevchenko can go.. hardly anyone will miss him. I'd rather slit my wrist then watch Baros play for Chelsea. However they're only looking for a short term striker, so im not worried.
<div class="quote_poster">retardx Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I'll kill Ferguson if he sells Ronaldo </div> It wouldn'y surprise me if Ronaldo moved to Spain. But when Fergy sells a player, it's either 'cause they're rubbish of there has been a bust up. And what would the old guy fall out with him about? spendin too much time on his hair?
