I think there was a thread related to UK football gossip, but I cannot find it. So here is a new one.
I love a transfer window, and all the gossip, rumour and basically bullshit that goes with it. Looking at the gossip today, these stories caught my eye:
* West Ham want Bordeaux centre-back Lamine Sane - that is a very cool name, so I want him at my club. If there isn't a Cyprus Hill chant going round on his debut, I will be sorely disappointed.
* Stoke are to sign 6ft 5in striker George Waring after he was released by Everton - I know nothing about this player, but there is one part of that sentance that makes this rumour so unsurprising.
* Chelsea apparently thought they were close to agreeing a deal to sign £50m Radamel Falcao from Atletico Madrid but it seems they may miss out to mega-rich Monaco, who are prepared to hand him a staggering £8m a year after tax - wow, that is a lot of money. I have done some quick calculations, and per week it works out to be significantly more than what anyone I know owns.
