On Zigic Soxfan1, I couldn't see him going to team that has just been relegated to the CCC in Birmingham City, instead of a Premier League Side like Portsmouth.

 

West Ham were very close to signing him during the mid - season transfer window actually but we ended up with Dean Ashton. Needless to say I'm happy with that decision. :)

You should be, Ashton is one helluva striker.

 

But Zigic needs to get the heck out of Crvena Zvevda. Their my team and all, but he isn't going to amount to anything internationally. In Serbia, he is already a star and deservedly so. If he stays in Zvezda, he'll become a Serbian legend but will leave people wondering what kind of legacy he could have had if he left.

 

You'll see how well Vidic will do at Man United in his 1st full season, it'll do him wonders. Zigic needs to do the same. With his talent, it's a win-win situation. I just hope he signs for a Premier League team and succeeds.

 

Oh, and call me Slav. :aussie:

In fact, maybe I should start posting the English Gossip in the papers every-day if there's enough interest.

I check this thread everyday, so I'd definitely appreciate it if you'd post that kind of stuff.

Woo!

 

Where do you get this stuff from? Is there a specific site (such as Rotoworld) for it?

I wouldn't necessarily be happy with Pennant Felix. The guy's an absolute nut off the field, and I think you guys overpaid.

 

And Slav, apparently in today's rumors Bolton are after Zigic. That would make you one happy camper. :lol:

Apparently, he's loved Liverpool his whole life, so perhaps being there will make him more motivated to stay out of trouble. Plus, if it works out, he is a good guy to have on the wing with someone like Crouch waiting in the middle to use his head.

Man Yoo went out and signed Michael Carrick for $17M. Definitely a huge overpayment, but I won't be complaining as West Ham will get 15 or 20% of that transfer fee from a sell on clause.

Nice to see a fellow Hammers supporter here. :D

Michael Carrick leaves Tottenham for Man United.

 

Newcastle is trying to send a player+cash to West Ham for Marlon Harewood.

 

Newcastle also attempting to sign Wayne Bridge from Chelsea.

 

Benni McCarthy signs with Blackburn.

 

Portsmouth is interested in Thomas Gravesen.

 

I also believe American striker Brian McBride left Fulham for Birmingham today.

 

Hey DBAH0, do you know the latest about West Brom's negotiations with Kanu?

Kind of off topic. I recently started playing this online soccer management game. It's not trying to immitate real life, the players are all fictional and there are weird features to it. Basically, it is its own game with soccer as the general appearance of the game (the transfer system is weird, etc.). Anyway, there is an option to create a private league for free (joining is also free). I was thinking if we could get enough interest maybe we could set one up for Soxtalk. Check the site out HERE and tell me if you're interested or not.
