tartofmidlothian Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Not much movement yet, but bound to be plenty down south as the big teams panic. This is an unusual one to start with, Wolves sign a young player from Portugal's fourth tier and loan him out to Sporting. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46732237 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham have a bit of a recent history of bringing in once wassers and paying them for hee haw. If he comes in and plays anywhere near the way he used to he'll make a big difference to West Ham. Pellegrini knows him and, obviously thinks he'll get something out of him. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure all West Ham fans will be happy with the 'drama' it brings, footballing wise though it could be a decent signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasri is a mercenary, but he's abit like Tevez in that he can play at the same time. He seems fit and his interview is all about Pelligrini and FWIW I thought it seemed genuine.

I think it was nutrients right enough, but I don't really see a difference between that and an illegal drug myself - it was a clear and deliberate breach of the doping regulations, serious enough to get him an 18 month ban. I have to agree it's more accurate to say it was a doping ban than a drugs ban to be fair, although like I say, it's splitting hairs a bit IMO, they amount to the same thing.

Phil Dunphy Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 That’s a very good signing for Rangers, if he manages to hit the ground running. But hes about 49 and hasn’t played a game since last season. So who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
