[Archived] Nicko's January Rumour Mill

[philipl]

Nicko, say he agrees to join sunderland or any other club for that matter, he has no chance of getting up to the north east today so what do clubs do with transfers in those circumstances?

Arrange for medical to be done down there today & agree the deal based on that, or can they agree deal based on medical to be done tomorrow?

Good question...I would imagine he signs on loan with a view to a full-time deal.

Then the clubs exchange e-mails.

But what happens if he fails the medical?

FIFA say you can't pull out of a deal on medical grounds AFTER he has signed.

Farce.

From the BBC:

1447: The plot thickens: I've had an email from a Swedish punter, telling us that according to Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, an experienced Swedish player is about to sign for an English club. That's the most brilliantly vague chat I've heard yet.

Where is Henrik these days?

Trying to come to England by the sound of it...and not succeeding.

Give him Stroke Boy's number.

So what happens if both clubs send an emai regarding the transfer of a player stuck in the snow lol, but the one email didnt reach the FA for some strange reason. What then?

Wow exciting thread today, just got back from work, its hard to keep up with it all.

It's a massive blow about Emerton but its understandable this late in the window it was too late to get a replacement in, the good news is Roque is staying, sure it would have been a good offer if a replacement was available but it looks like they never got close to our valuation anyway, I'm glad we have stayed strong and put two fingers up to City, well at least so far!

[Ewood and I Would]

I'm suprised the "Stroke Boy" tag is still sticking with poor Andy Burton, apart from his mannarisms resembling nothing like someone having a stroke I thought nicko would lay off after he systematically rubbished his Robinho to City story on the last deadline day only for it to be true. At risk of upsetting a few fan boys on here, but SSN is more reliable than our nicko on d-day from past evidence. I just hope nicko doesn't regret dissing the Dos Santod to Pompey story, seems like a goer by all acounts at the moment...

Larsson to Bolton is my guess.

Henrik plays floorball

[chocky]

I wonder why?

See post 6243...

OK, who's phoning him?

Bit strange how Stroke Boy knows Bent is at home on the computer watching SSN in the background...

The player wouldn't have "signed" though in that scenario as if he can't get there to do the medical, then he can't get there to sign the contract. As long as the emails were exchanged, and the snow was the reason the player couldn't get to the buying club, then the actual signing would still depend on the player passing the medical tomorrow.

From the Eastland Lies and Fibs Department to the Daily Mail to you dear reader.

Incidentally, as most of you will know, this is the summary of transfer deadline day by the BBC.

PREMIER LEAGUE TRANSFER TRACKER:

In: Everton (Jo), Portsmouth (Basinas), Stoke (Camara)

Given a free hand, would we take any of those three?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

I'm no genius, but can't you fax a contract to someone, have them sign it then fax it back?

[Ewood and I Would]

Bit strange how Stoke Boy knows Bent is at home on the computer watching SSN in the background...

[gumboots]

And why would 25 million trigger a release clause as that suggests? what use is the money now? if they wanted him a sizeable early bid would have done it. We know they haven't backed Hughes on this one at all so the papers must know.

and no we wouldn't have taken any of those because they do not play in positions we need to strengthen in as long as Santa Cruz stays.

My local post office won't take a fax copy of my insurance for road tax, so I'd doubt it would suffice for a multi-million pound football signing.

Besides, footballers a notoriously stupid, there's no way their agent would trust them to read and agree to a contract at home.

Smart arse..

Newcastle have reportedly failed in a bid to swap Spurs' Darren Bent with Obafemi Martins.

Didn't the sale of Kuqi almost fall through as it was faxed to a local chippy by mistake?

Did they think that was ever on?...

[Iceman]

I take it Nicko is stuck in snow somewhere, as he is far too much on here today instead of going one on one with Stroke Boy! Lol

[brian_gallagher85]

BREAKING NEWS.... Arshavin very close to Arsenal deal.

Sweet god, how far apart where these two

EDIT: Stroke Boy has now turned into Alan Carr

[Oklahoma]

Zoro will go on loan to V. Setubal

[bob fleming]

I cant believe Spurs signing all their players back

Redknapp will no doubt launch a bid to sign Bentley back shortly after he signs for Inter Milan this afternoon - but for slightly more money than they will have sold him for. The clock is ticking.

[rog of the rovers]

Looks like another deadline day without any action at the Rovers.
