Transfers


Recommended Posts

Le Parisien report that Fulham are closing in on a £7m swoop for Lyon winger Michel Bastos. The Brazil international, who has been given permission to leave the Stade de Gerland, was on the brink of a move to Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates last week before that deal fell through. Employed at left-back by the Seleção at the last World Cup, the 29-year-old has been in fine form in Ligue 1 this season, scoring two brilliant goals for OL already."

JIm White is best known for his round-the-clock presenting marathon on Transfer Deadline Day. The day, August 31st, is affectionately known as Jim White day. What is less well known is how Sky Sports News actually gets the latest transfer news to Mr White. There is a complex and vast underground system of string that connects every british football ground to every other british football ground. At the end of every piece of string is a a paper cup. Sky Sports News hires an army of dwarves to man each paper cup. When the Sky Sports News presenter above ground hears of any hot transfer gossip, he taps out the relevant information in morse code onto the floor. The dwarf hears this, and promptly uses the cup and string device to communicate the news into a funnel that leads directly into Jim White's left ear.
