OK take a break from the wrist slitting and negativity while I bring you round-up filled with wrist slitting and well, complete negativity.
Yesterday's utterings began with POTL

Bentley to Brum almost complete- rejected move to Newcastle after initial loan fee was agreed.
Keane still refusing to go to B'ham. Hammertime could be around the corner- offering money now with more if they stay up. DL wants all money upfront.
Gio off to Italy on loan- 3 clubs to choose from.
Townsend off on loan this week.
Becks has arrived for Medical- DL still pushing for loan move- nothing to do with insurance- more about when Galaxy want him back.
Everyone still fancy a striker??
POTL
Once you have lived in a captial city, one tends to remain living in a captial city- country an irrelevance.
Plenty to digest but the bit about Capital cities resulted in 60 pages of guesswork and my money is on the following theory. It's his signature. Anyone still fancy a striker? Well as it happens, yeah, I do. That blonde one who plays for England Ladies. Back Doors. Smashed. In.
Storts tried to address the negativity with this..........
This is why sometimes stepping back, taking several deep breaths and following a sensible train of thought does the world of good. So come on, no more Lemming-like panic.Storts said:Date 10th Jan

The negativity in this thread is ridiculous. Firstly we will under no circumstances be signing Carlton Cole. You really think our chairman and manager believe him to be better than what we have? Secondly deals are well under way and Daniel is doing a great job as usual, the squad is being trimmed in preparation for those coming in, he knows where our weakness' are and they will be adressed. And for what it's worth, I expect to see Suarez at Tottenham.
Another new ITK then posted this.
Lets just say the jury is out on this one.Appy as Arry said:Date 10th Jan

With all of the ITK and POTLs cryptic I put a call in and just got this back. Everyone a bit tight lipped at the club, which in his words "usually means we going for a biggy or very close". However he did get confirmation we are in for Suarez after Broomfields reports
Diarra is still first choice DM, but Muntari is now on the radar as back up. I asked if Suarez not considered a biggy who is? he said " Not a clue, but there is money and Levy is ready to spend"
Still interest in Russian and French midfielders.
He also said Keanes move to Fulham could be on but Harry not happy if he plays in the cup. Still more loan outs to be done including Townsend.
Beckham is an insurance and length of loan thing, Harry wants 12-18 month deal, but secretly quite pleased at the moment because he is getting best of both worlds in that he is passing his knowledge, but doesn't take up a squad place.
Another update from CM told us that........
Beckham will be looking for a coach himself if he keeps knocking out the kids at his current rate.CorlukaModric said:When: 10/1/11

Suarez is the one we are after. Lukaku is a second option however Anderlecht want silly money.
Trying to do a deal for Pienaar. And like I said before Walker went to Villa we are still pursuing A.Young!
QPR want Townsend on loan but so do 3 or 4 other championship clubs.
Woody should also leave on loan very soon.
Becks deal still very complicated. Harry also interested in getting him in as a coach once his playing days are over!
Pablo told us that........
I thought Harry said money wasn't an issue on Day 1? I'm not so sure about this Galaxy wanting him back bit. I can't remember it ever being an issue before? There's more to all of this than meets the eye. IMO of course.pablo said:Date 10th Jan

pay no longer an issue..beckham will take whatever paycut necessary for terms of loan.
la galaxy want him back feb 10...spurs say no use unless march 15...that is the guts of the issue
JTG then went on the record..........
Which will have certain members slitting their wrists all over again. The agenda is there, for all to see in sentence No1......Nice to see JTG apologising to POTL for the content of his info. Now if he'd just be so kind as to extend that to the rest of us, that would be nice.Jurgenthegerman said:Where: COYS

For the record ...been told:
Billy Smarts Beckam circus has hi jacked this window and a Spurs insider I know fears the opportunity cost is going to be massive window wise
No where near signing a forward (sorry POTL ) lots of talk agents putting out loads of radio traffic,applies to Suarez, Adebayor (despite the fact City are desperate to sell and might even entertain us as a destination )Carlton Cole , etc...main reason being no permanent deals for Bentley Keane and Dos Pony and Levy won t flash the cash off the back of loans and no one will agree to a price for the deal to become permanent
Ashley Young stories no foundation , did say Phil Neville story might have legs as there might be a permanent deal for Corluka at Juve
Levy is going to be opportunistic this window which means he could do nothing unless the price and deal is right
And so we come to the end of today's round-up. A wild ride. A bit like Oddie's sister. Except you get to have a fag at the end of it. If we can find Flatters that is.
Now it's up to you of course, but a small donation toward the upkeep of SC would be nice. So dig deep, every £1 counts and every donation is appreciated. So be nice, click on the button and bring some feelgood into your life.
