Thought I'd make a little place to talk about all matters in the January transfer window. West Ham have signed Luis Boa Morte today for a fee of around 5 million. The other gossip surrounding the Hammers is that they're targeting a 22m bid for Shaun Wright-Phillips and that Javier Mascherano may be on his way to Anfield if FIFA will grant him 'special dispensation' to play for a 3rd club in a 12 month period. Juve have apparently cooled their interest in JM. EPL deals so far:Charlton have signed Chinese international Zheng Zhi on loan from Shandong. Fulham have brought in Vincenzo Montella on loan from AS Roma. Manchester United have signed Henrik Larsson on loan from Helsingborgs (SWE) [Like you didn't already know ] Spurs have brought in Adel Taarabt on loan from RC Lens. They've also splashed 700,000 on Ben Alnwick from Sunderland in a deal which sees Martin Fulop go the other way. Watford have signed Moses Ashikodi from Rangers on a free. Wigan have signed David Unsworth for and undisclosed fee as well as bringing in Andreas Granqvist from Helsingborgs on loand and Kris Haested from IK Start (NOR) on loan. Oh I also saw that Leeds have signed Tore Andre Flo. He was a class act in his day. Other rumours:Hargreaves to Man Utd Gareth Bale to any number of EPL clubs Wes Brown to Newcastle Anton Ferdinand to Spurs (4m bid) Crouch to Newcastle Critiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid. Apparently a 40m Euro bid has been rejected. <<This was on Polish TV this morning so could be a little trivial>> Walter Smith and Ally McCoist to manage Rangers Martin

The David Villa to lpool doesnt disappear!
One that made me laugh was Wes Brown to Newcastle, imagne him and Bramble in the heart of defense, calamity central but potential to not let teams have a sniff!

Sheva should come good. He's class.
May well be next season if Jose has gone. Hiddink will get the best out of him.

He was class Sunny. He's lost that yard of pace that set him ahead of most of the other strikers. He peaked a few years ago if you ask me

West Ham conceded 6 in their last league game but seem to be out bidding for umpteen strikers. Surely they ought to consider investing something in shoring up the defence a bit?

Last season he played 22 Serie A games and scored 19 goals. He played 12 UCL games and scored 9 goals. All he is lacking is confidence and time to bed in to Eng football. It took Henry, Pires, Overmars, Drogba and many others similar time. Maybe the dam will burst v Forest.

I've said he's awesome and far better than Reyes. But until yesterday he'd done squat. Another example of a player taking time to settle in and then exploding. Martins at Newcastle fits it too. Apparently Vidic and Evra look much better now than 12 months ago. Which is why Juve may get Heinze. Chelsea fans should keep the faith. Like they did with Zola and Viali.

One source I read said if the interest sparks a bidding war then the price could go as high at 7m I really would laugh my ass off if someone paid 7m for Marlon Harewood. Oh another bit of news, Wigan backup, Mike Pollitt has joined Burnley and, as widely predicted this morning.... DJIMI TRAORE has joined Portsmouth for ONE MILLION POUNDS Anybody fancy a ride down to Portsmouths training complex for a kickabout? There's a good chance we could be Premiership footballers this time next week. ;D

Scoring 4 goals against Liverpool reserves is hardly exploding now is it? Shevchenko did have reasonable pace i'll have you know but he seems to not have the ability to make it in the Prem. He can read the game fairly well but struggles to get himself into the position to utilise it in the Prem. Shin, it may be early in his career but you compare him to Drogba, but Drogba wasn't 30 years old last year.
