The first day of the XBLN mid season transfer window brought about some wheeling and dealing from the leagues managers, with a few surprises to boot!The story on everyone’s lips actually surrounded the deal that never was. Gypsymuffin looked all set to fulfil his boyhood dream and finally gain control of his beloved Aberdeen after many years of staring enviously at Tiernobyl's tight grip on the Scottish premier team and after some long drawn out negotiations with Jarvinhio, this seasons manager, it finally looked like it was about to happen when at the eleventh hour in stepped the XBLN FA to crush his dream.
Apparently, Jarvinhio has insufficient funds to complete the necessary payments, thus incurring the wrath of the FA who quickly moved to quash the deal and slapped a fine on Jarviniho as punishment for his misdemeanour. This has now thrown the deal into doubt and leaves us wondering if maybe Gypsy is just cursed and destined never to get his hands on his beloved Aberdeen?
There was also the usual appearance from Grumbo on the Transfer windows first day of bidding although this time rather than using his considerable network of contacts to outbid anyone on the site, he instead resorted to just threats and bullying to ensure he grabbed control of Sampdoria.
A surprise manoeuvre also saw Jimortality swap the rain of Manchester for the sunny climate of Madrid with S1ocombe coming the other way as the worlds two biggest teams traded managers.
The remaining roundup of transfer window shenanigans goes as follows:
- ScottieDawglive gave up control of Reading to take over at FC Zurich
- Chairfloor and ARightTouch85 traded places between Burnley and FC Köln
- B3njamin91 swapped places with Dizzydonkeykong to take over at Hull from Anderlecht
- Cefcasan and Payne Wales swapped places as he moved from Hamburg to Athletico Madrid
- Craig 1687 went from Twente to Corinthians with Shammystu coming the other way.
- Daftfox took the reigns at Real Sociedad
- StueySAFC gave up his job at Santos to take over at Sparta Prague
That rounds up the days activities now we will have to wait to see what tomorrow brings!
