djc 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Said Doncaster in today''s online EDP column, "For a number of weeks, we had been tracking a player at one of the biggest Premiership teams. We were led to believe that the lad wanted to come to us, that acceptable (although expensive) terms had been agreed, and that the club concerned were happy to let the deal go through. But then, virtually at the last minute, it became clear that there was a deal to sell him abroad." Ok, so having done some transfer research i found the following (for January 2007) :Stephan Anderson - Charlton to Brondy (undisclosed fee)David Weir - Everton to Rangers (free)Edgar Davids - Spurs to Ajax (undisclosed fee)Massimo Maccarone - ''Boro to Siena (free)Ugo Ehiogu - '' Boro to Rangers (free)Claudio Reyna - Man City - N.Y. Red Bulls (free)Reto Ziegler - Spurs to Sampdoria (loan) So who could he have meant?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted February 1, 2007 Would of said Reto Ziegler but Neil Doncaster mentions the word ''sell''. Perhaps Sampdoria paid a loan fee on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ones to Rangers don''t count as "abroad", especially with PG in charge, and Davids would be far too expensive. Reyna has wanted to go back to America since before the window opened (thank you M.E.N.) and Anderson was hardly playing for one of the top Prem clubs, far from it... so Ziegler is my bet... shame, would have been good...

Fat Barman 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Zieglers loan is with a view to a permanent deal. I was told Ziegler was coming up until yesterday, so I think that''s the one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Time to go Delia 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Wow we nearly got a Premiership loan , just like we nearly got Cotterill and we nearly got Morrison , i think Mr Doncaster thinks the City fans are mushrooms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tumbleweed 106 Posted February 1, 2007 I would have guessed Maccarone or Ehiogu as we are clearly in need of a striker and a defender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
