​

​

IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU'VE READ THE RULES. (We're assuming everyone has done so therefore 'I didn't know' as an excuse will receive a horse laugh)​

​

Here are the important points​

1: ITK abuse/personal comments directed toward ITK will result in you losing access to this part of the sit​

​

2: Please do not give negative ratings to anyone posting ITK in the Read Only or in this thread​

​

3: Twitter - We know who the WUM's are so please keep that stuff out of here. Otherwise, Tweets from proper, sensible sources can go in here or the player thread, use your noggin.​

​

Now then, on to business............​

_______________________________________________________________​

​

Woohoo! It's open! The Transfer Window is here! 31 days of waiting for something that isn't going to happen! Fast Forward to the window closing and we'll see thread after thread moaning about another lost opportunity/Levy is a tight ****/Why didn't we sign player X/Y or Z? Deep down you know it.................​

HAPPY NEW YEAR by ABBA​

​

Here comes the pain
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling yellow and feeling blue
It's the start of the window
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every eyeteekay's a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we not get a cryptic post to try
I'd rather be poked in the eye
Yes, my japs eye

Sometimes we see
How the brave new info arrives
And we see how it thrives
ITK can rule our lives
Oh yes, A&C is a tool
And he thinks we'll be okay
Dragging on, day by day
Never knowing he's astray
Posting this shit day by day...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all get some info now and then
Moutinho, Sneijder, where will it end
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all get the signings that we need
If we don't it's down to Levy's greeeeed
So now sigh

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than rumours posted by a whore
At the end of the window
In about 31 days time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
What, a cryptic, we'll be fine

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all keep our sanity until the end
If we sign no one don't go round the bend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all take each rumour with some salt
If we don't we might as well all start to cry
You and I

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.

Oh yeah, and I took the wife to the Cinema the other day. I asked for two tickets, the cashier said' for the Hobbitt?' I said 'How dare you, that's my wife'

Rose spoke about his future in a recent interview:

But Rose, who has previously revealed his eagerness to join Sunderland on a permanent deal, is glad Villas-Boas has provided some clarity after revelling in the opportunity for regular first-team football with the Black Cats.
Rose said: “I spoke to the manager (Villas-Boas) on Saturday and asked him what was happening because I wanted to know myself.
“I’m very happy up north. I’m close to my family, and playing every week.
“I love the staff, players and management here, and I’m not looking to go back south and not play.
“I’m settled here, so I wanted to know what was going on.
“He told me the plan was to stay for the full season, and whatever happens after that is out of my hands. Then it’s between Sunderland and Spurs.”
Rose will return to the starting line-up at Liverpool tomorrow night after he was ineligible to face his parent club in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat.
The 22-year-old was a significant miss, with centre-half Matt Kilgallon shoehorned into the left-back slot before being withdrawn just after the hour mark.
But Rose hopes the break will prove beneficial after he has been battling an ankle injury for the past fortnight.
“The rest will do me good to a certain extent,” said Rose.
“You don’t want to take too many days off because you lose your fitness.
“But it’s been good to get my feet up for a few days because I’ve got a sore ankle at the minute.
“I obviously couldn’t play with the rules and regulations, and it’s very frustrating not being able to play in a game you want to play in.
“It was a shame we conceded two sloppy goals after going into the break 1-0 up.
“But the lads have just got to forget about it. The games come thick and fast now, and we’ve just got to move on.
“It was difficult for Killa, it is for any centre-half moving to a full-back position. He tried against Aaron Lennon, who is one of the best wingers in the league.
“But hopefully I can get back in the team tomorrow, and continue the good things I’ve been doing.”

Doesn't sound like he was particularly reassured.

 

[N17Jack]

Gomez anyone?

 

[Twizzle]

Rose sounds like he'd rather stay at Mackems

 

[allatsea]

Sounds to me as if Spurs are willing to sell provided the price is right. Problem is will Sunderland still be in the PL or will they have money to spend.
