Football : Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

[MalteseFalcon]

I'm gutted that West Ham didn't win, but loving Man City tonight. Finally someone has knocked Wenger off his perch made my night that has. Sorry Arsenal fans.

Mourinho is just a wind-up merchant and the press love him for it. Just funny really, part of the show. He knows Chelsea have been criticised for the same tactics after all.

[thenry]

Yes they may well love him to get their wage but I get nothing but annoyance. Bore off. Plus more bad press for Wenger. That in my opinion isn't fair.

Juventus chief Beppe Marotta confirmed “we like Dani Osvaldo” and will only sell Mirko Vucinic “if he asks to go.”

There are reports Juventus agreed a deal with Arsenal for Mirko Vucinic, but he still needs to give the all-clear.

So another day of everyone rubbishing the Draxler rumours. Another set of back pages tomorrow saying the deal is almost done. Someone is set to look stupid on Saturday morning.

Ian Ayre, the Liverpool managing director, travelled to Ukraine on Wednesday to finalise the £16 million signing of winger Yevhen Konoplyanka as Tottenham Hotspur moved to hijack the deal.

At 100% West Ham's attempts to attempts on target is far superior to Chekski's.

Remember that was with Mancini at the helm and methinks the same mistakes won't be made twice.

Black Cats seal Scocco deal

Argentinian signs two-and-a-half-year contract on Wearside.

Sunderland have sealed a fourth January transfer with the arrival of Argentinian international forward Ignacio Scocco.

The 28-year-old, who has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal, arrives from South American club Internacional for an undisclosed fee.

Born in Hughes, Argentina, Scocco emerged with Newell’s Old Boys in his homeland and won an Apertura championship with the club in 2004.

After moving on to Mexican side Pumas UNAM – scoring 18 league goals in 53 appearances – Scocco headed to Europe to join AEK Athens in 2008.

He scored 28 league goals – including a number of spectacular strikes – for the Greek club, making 88 appearances in all.

A stint in the Middle East with Al-Ain followed, before a successful spell back in Argentina with Newell’s in 2012-13 yielded 24 goals in 33 league appearances.

Scocco, who joined Internacional in June 2013, has been capped once by his country, marking his debut with two goals against Brazil in November 2012.

Socco's a pretty good player, apparently, got to be better than altidore at any rate
