window ends. Dimitar Berbatov is reported to be holding 'crisis talks' with Tottenham officials who
themselves are waiting for Pavlyuchenko to sign (or [.

so.

Shevchenko will apparently return to AC Milan on a loan for at least a season, a move which would
probably suit all parties involved (especially Milan). The Shevchenko rumours have been persistant
ever since the Ukranian arrived at Chelsea, and its about time that he went back to Italy as it
just wasn't working out [.

Sunderland Football: Keano's proving a slippery Black Cat as Tottenham are stunned
So Sunderland football and the FA Premier League do mix! Roy Keano is beginning to show signs of
not only being a fierce man motivator, but a real canny mover in the transfer market as well.
His Sunderland football side has been beefed up with proven Premiership players this year, and boy
does it show, and with Anton Ferdinand another likely arrival you really can't see Sunderland and
Keano boys struggling in the Premiership this year.

This blog has in the past been critical of Curbishley's reign at Upton Park and it would be fair
for me to comment on the latest event in East London.
The reason for the firing appears to me to relate solely to the West Ham United transfer policy.
This summer, the club cut Freddie Ljubgberg and sold Anton Ferdinand, while nobody of significance
was brought into the club from outside.
1. Finally...
A lot of us thought this day would never come. For months now we have all battled against lowered
expectations, increasing frustration and even a progressively diminished appetite for one of those
things we hold most dear.
But then came the news we've all been waiting for.
It appears that two rumours have handily combined into one nice little package, is this a swap deal that works well for both parties?
Anton Ferdinand could be on his way to Tottenham in a swap deal for Aaron Lennon.
Fresh rumours this morning suggest that Spurs are set to capture long-term target Ferdinand, who Alan Curbishley [.
I don't know about you, but I am just sick to death of seeing pictures of
footballers' stunning girlfriends frolicking around in the sun on holiday pasted all over football
websites. What do they have to do with anything?
Anton Ferdinand isn't quite sure where he'll be next season. The West Ham defender has been linked
with a move to Aston Villa and Newcastle United but he thinks he'll be sticking around Upton Park.

King Kev fancies a defender with class, technique, and that certain "ooomph" not seen at
St James' Park since Philip Albert skated around the pitch with gay abandon, so quite why the
Keegster is going for West Ham's Anton Ferdinand is beyond me... And if West Ham aren't tempted ...

fancies a move to Wearside after Hammers boss Alan Curbishley accepted an £8m bid.Former
England Under-21 star Ferdinand, 23, is considering his options and will give Sunderland an answer
within the next 48 hours.
All signs seem to indicate that Anton Ferdinand is heading to the Northeast to play for Sunderland.
A move that I think is bad business by West Ham who seem anything but solid at the back, but the
board wants to thin the squad and I guess Ferdinand is part of that cull. Surprising news though
[...]
By JAMES CLARKIt's not the fact that we're losing Anton Ferdinand (pictured) to Sunderland,
per se. He was always a raw-but-talented defender. In many cases, his penchant for scoring goals
seemed to outweigh his talents for stopping goals at the other end, at least in the Premier League.
Remember, his best days with Hammers were when he partnered Elliot Ward and helped us win promotion
in 2004-05.
The sale of Anton Ferdinandto Sunderland was confirmed today by the club for an undisclosed fee
(rumours estimate his sale cost the Black Cats between £6-8 million). The club website reports
that Anton's move was "in the best interest of the club", something that I find hard to
believe unless they are speaking in purely [.

Arsenal defender with great potential. Don't forget to check out Online Football Manager! WEST HAM
have reportedly lined up Arsenal defender Johan Djourou as a replacement for Anton Ferdinand.

Seems the close of the player transfer window was also the opening of the manager door. First Kevin
Keegan (maybe) parted ways with Newcastle yesterday, and now Alan Curbishley has resigned at West
Ham Utd. Curbs has been under pressure from West Ham for the team's perceived poor performance last
season (even though they finished [.
IT'S arguably come as no shock that Alan Curbishley has quit West Ham. The crows over the
50-year-old have been circling for some time and the sale of Anton Ferdinand and George McCartney
to Sunderland seems to have been the last straw. But one thing his departure has certainly drawn to
the attention is the black [.
One report this week has had Tottenham signing West Ham defender Anton Ferdinand and another has the deal not going through. The deal, if it happens, is thought to be going to White Hart Lane for £6million. Who should we...

From Knees Up Mother Brown; Within the last 36 hours Aston Villa are thought to have tempted
the Hammers by offering a figure in the region of £25million for Ashton and team mate Anton
Ferdinand, whose future at the club had been under threat all summer. Hmm wasn't it like just
yesterday that Scott Duxbury said; "Hell would [.

to media reports. The Mirror claim that the former England Under-21 player was approached with a
deal thought to be worth £2million a year but has rejected it in the hope of an improved
offer. The two parties have been negotiating [.
I'm sick to death of the Berbatov and Arshavin saga's but someone else appearing on the horizon has
taken my attention - Anton Ferdinand.
Please no, it has to be some kind of sick joke. He's no better than Dawson as far as I'm concerned.
In fact, we may as well have held on to Gardener.
Just because he's got the surname Ferdinand people are under the illusion he'll be as good as Rio,
doesn't work like that I'm afraid.
There is still lots of talk in the gossip columns about Anton Ferdinand, but so far that is all it
is - gossip. Then there is more talk about Pinto, a player who has been linked with West Ham on and
off all summer... West Ham will hold talks with Chilean striker Sebastian Pinto, with a [...]
