1744: BIG TRANSFER COMPLETED

Liverpool's official website tells the world the news it was massively expecting - Espanyol winger Albert Riera, formerly of Manchester City, has joined on a four-year deal for a fee believed to be about ?8m.

Erm... I know this may be the most stupidest thing to say, but why is the transfer market still open? Isn't it supposed to close on the 31st?

Because this year for the first time since the "transfer window" was invented, the 31st August fell on a Sunday. Nothing happens on a Sunday in this country, we don't even get post :p!

So, that was why it was extended.

Looks like West Ham have let another go!

West Ham and Sunderland are set to announce that left-back George McCartney has left Upton Park to rejoin his former club. The fee, I'm being told, is about ?6m, which frankly sounds utterly ridiculous.

Leaving Old Trafford!

Spanish reports claim Manchester City have agreed a 40million euros (?32.5m) deal with Real Madrid for Robinho.

Chelsea have been leading the chase for the Brazilian striker, who has insisted he wants to play for the West London giants.

Real have stood firm insisting that they did not want to sell Robinho and have refused numerous Chelsea offers in recent weeks.

Chelsea have, though, maintained confidence that they would seal a deal for the 24-year-old.

But now Man City - with new financial clout provided by their Middle East based new owners Abu Dhabi - have come straight in to offer the valuation Real placed on Robinho.

Television station La Cadena Ser, together with leading publications Marca and AS, have stated the agreement with City - which represents a British transfer record - is in place.

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea, the previous financial powerhouses of world football, will come back with a revised bid for Robinho.

In light of Robinho's impending move to England, it is believed Real made one last bid to land Valencia's David Villa.

But despite up to ?40million on the table, Los Che insisted they would not let the Spanish international striker leave.

My money would be on Berbatov going to Man Utd, but you never know.

It's practically a done deal now. He's at Man Utd, he's completed a medical, and he's up in the offices with David Gill finalising it all.

BTW, Robinho to Man City?! What is going on?! :D

Sky Sports News says that the Robinho deal is done!

Thats the WTF of the year, its certainly has to be for the money, this is the start tho of things to come Man City buying players for crazy prices.

Agreed. I can't believe that Abu Dhabi group has stirred up the transfer window so much in the last 12 hours! First, they had us believing they hijacked the Berbatov deal, and now, they've got Robinho!!!

Looks like West Ham have let another go!

Right, so, correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I'm aware we don't have a recognised left back anymore! What are the board trying to do? Sell everyone? If they wanna clear out the huge wage bill shouldn't they be looking at the likes of Dyer, Bellamy, Upson, Parker and Neill? Oh, and removing the players who have hardly set foot on the Upton Park turf... Quashie?

Maybe the so called Billionnaire should give up on trying to run West Ham United as it's own entity and open up his damn chequebook. After all, it seems from very recent event (Robinho to Man City) that money talks wonders in football!

2312: George McCartney has told the West Ham website he handed in a transfer request because his wife Elaine didn't settle in the south-east. And I thought it was Sunderland boss Roy Keane who hammered players for deciding to go where their wives wanted?

Brilliant! :laugh:

I am disappointed in West Ham's dealings today!

Kaka to man city next? ?60m I bet in January!

DONE!

0005: TRANSFER CONFIRMED AND MY GOD IT'S A CRACKER

Robinho, the 24-year-old Brazilian, has left Real Madrid and signed for Manchester City. That is officially the biggest deadline day deal in history. Probably.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.

Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas.

Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries.
