That Transfer Window is Closing for Now

By: Bob | August 30th, 2006

Well, this is it. After a couple of months of frantic speculation and a few honest to goodness moves, the window of time allowed for players to transfer from one team to another is finally coming to an end. The transfer frenzy officially comes to a close at midnight Thursday.

There is still time for a lot of action to go down and for some big names to move from one deep-pocketed team to another. Heck, there is still time for Ashley Cole to move anywhere. Lord knows we have heard enough about him moving to Chelsea the past month to last a lifetime.

The BBC is all over the waning moments of the transfer window. Oliver Kahn is all over Owen Hargreaves, telling the Canadian England international playing in Germany to forget his dream of sharing a locker room with Cristiano Ronaldo and to act more professional. Good advice from a player who spent most of the World Cup defining what it means to not act professionally.

All of this fun will be over in a matter of hours. Thankfully, the speculation about who will be transferred during the winter transfer period will likely begin at 12:01 am on Friday and that closed window will start to inch open once again.

Tevez and Mascherano to West Ham, say it ain't so.

Although I am very anti-Kahn (as an 1860 Munich, not a Bayern Munich fan), I can't see how he didn't act professionally during the world cup. Him and Lehmann have been enemies for a long time, both competing for the number 1 spot in net for the Mannschaft, and although Kahn lost it to Lehmann (with many practice fallouts between them), he was seen giving Lehmann advice and a peptalk at the sidelines before the shootout versus Argentina.
