Maybe this would have been shocking three years ago, and maybe it’s still a little unpalatable for Arsenal and Tottenham fans, but William Gallas is undergoing a medical in North London this morning ahead of signing a one-year deal. 32 years old he may be, but Gallas will bolster Harry Redknapp’s fragile defence just through […]

No seriously, Jenas is off to Juventus.
Posted: August 17, 2010 by thepremierleagueowl in TransfersTags: Daniel Levy, Jermain Jenas, Juventus, Tottenham
Bizarre story coming from the Daily Mirror this morning, as they claim that perennial underachiever Jermain Jenas is ‘set for’ a move to Juventus. Quotes from the player… None. Quotes from Juve manager Luigi Del Neri… None. Quotes from an agent… None. Rock solid journalism. Still, apparently Jenas’ style would be better received in Italy […]
Ireland ‘greed’ stalls Milner move.
Posted: August 13, 2010 by thepremierleagueowl in TransfersTags: Man CIty, James Milner, Aston Villa, Stephen Ireland
Slightly bold move for a makeweight… The James Milner transfer did not go through as expected last night…because Stephen Ireland is refusing to leave $ity without a £2million golden handshake. This of course is the same Stephen Ireland who fabricated his Grandmother’s death to avoid International duty, wore a hairpiece for the 2008/2009 season, and […]
Hodgson snaps up keeper
Posted: August 12, 2010 by thepremierleagueowl in TransfersTags: Brad Jones, Liverpool, Middlesbrough
Hugely underwhelming transfer news from Anfield… Middlesbrough goalkeeper Brad Jones has joined Liverpool for £2.5 Million. With Jose Reina and Diego Cavalieri firmly established at one and two in the pecking order, this seems to be little more than a charitable donation to a struggling Championship side.
Milner/Ireland to trade places today
Posted: August 12, 2010 by thepremierleagueowl in TransfersThe most tedious transfer story of the summer to be concluded this evening, as James Milner and Stephen Ireland swap clubs. Thank God that’s over….
United swoop for Portuguese forward
Posted: August 12, 2010 by thepremierleagueowl in TransfersTags: Bebe, Manchester United, Tiago Manuel Dias Correia
Sir Alex Ferguson has dipped into the transfer market for 20 year-old Portuguese forward Bebe from Vitoria Guimaraes. Bebe will undergo a medical at Carrington this afternoon before completing the transfer. Bebe, or Tiago Manuel Dias Correia, is an unknown quantity to us – although apparently he’s ‘strong and direct’. Who Knows.
Spurs new boy Sandro to arrive in London next week.
Posted: August 11, 2010 by thepremierleagueowl in TransfersTags: Arrival, Internacional, Sandro Ranieri, Tottenham
Harry Redknapp’s lone summer signing Sandro will arrive in London on the 20th August. The condition of the transfer was always that the Brazilian international would only leave Internacional once the Brazilian club’s participation in the Copa Libertadores was at an end. At last that moment is upon us – the final is due to […]
Ramires to have Chelsea medical
Posted: August 3, 2010 by thepremierleagueowl in TransfersTags: Benfica, Chelsea, Ramires
Think a younger, more athletic, extra dimensional Gilberto Silva, and that’s what Chelsea have spent £17million on in Benfica’s Ramires – subject to a medical. John Obi Mikel, your Chelsea career is over – every team in Europe will want this guy in 2 years time.
Ben-Haim set to confirm West Ham move
Posted: August 3, 2010 by thepremierleagueowl in TransfersTags: Avram Grant, Tal Ben-Haim, Thomas Hitzlsperger, West Ham
West Ham are on the verge of adding to their ranks with the former Bolton, Chelsea and Portsmouth defender. With plenty of Premier League experience, the Israeli international would be an astute purchase for Avram Grant – alleviating the fear of having to rely too heavily on underdone youth players in important positions, a situation […]
