Despite the number of names that were tipped to leave Tottenham during this transfer window, things have been very quiet. It certainly doesn't look like we'll sell more than one player at most, so yesterday I set up a poll to determine who you would most like to see leave.

One of my motivations was to test the water regarding the popularity of Robbie Keane.

Manchester City are due to play in their first semi-final for 28 years this month, under the guidance of new manager Roberto Mancini.

The population of Manchester is 460,000. City fans say all "proper Mancs" are blue. So why couldn't they sell all their tickets for the biggest game they've played in for almost three decades?

Yesterday, Manchester City still hadn't sold all their tickets for the League Cup semi-final which was due to be played the following day. On the Monday, it was announced that any season ticket holder or membership holder could purchase an additional two tickets.

Given that City haven't played in the semi-final for 28 years I thought it was odd that the game wasn't a sell out.

We've said it once and we'll say it again: nothing good ever comes of the January transfer window. But while rumours of big-money moves and blockbuster trades persist, here is our pick of four relegation-bound players ripe for the plucking:

Morten Gamst Pedersen. Having threatened to drop off the radar under Paul Ince's stewardship, the Norwegian winger looks to be re-discovering his best form with Big Sam in charge.

Chivas USA and U.S. international defender Jonny Bornstein is auctioning off the pair of boots he wore when he scored a goal for the U.S. on the final day of World Cup qualifying that sealed Honduras' trip to South Africa and made him a national hero in the Central American nation.

Bornstein, of Los Alamitos, has autographed the boots and put them up for sale on eBay today with 100 percent of the proceeds to go to the American Red Cross to aid in their relief efforts in Haiti.

Man Utd 3 1 Man City (agg 4 3)

Manchester United once again proved that class is permanent with a convincing 3-1 win in a fiercely contested semi-final derby.

Wayne Rooney headed home an injury-time winner which saw the red half of Manchester into the Carling Cup final against Aston Villa after a pulsating second leg at Old Trafford.
