[Football] Winter Transfer Window 09/10


Recommended Posts

1801: Two deals we keep being told have been wrapped up are Vasilis Torosidis from Olympiakos to Liverpool and Asmir Begovic from Portsmouth to Stoke City.

1809: DONE DEALS: We've got so many now it's embarrassing. Middlesbrough have announced officially that Egyptian striker Mido has signed for West Ham on loan until the end of the season.

Celtic have confirmed the signing of Tottenham striker Robbie Keane on loan until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old Republic of Ireland international is travelling to Glasgow on Monday evening and will be presented at a 2300 GMT media conference.

Keane has been consistently linked with a move to the club he is known to have supported as a boy.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp said: "He needs to be playing and to go to Celtic is a dream come true for him."

Celtic had already added Diomansy Kamara from Fulham on loan and Morten Rasmussen from Brondby during January to bolster their strike force.

He is a Celtic man and it looks like it probably will happen

And the Keane deal followed Australia international Scott McDonald's transfer to Middlesbrough minutes before the closure of the 1700 GMT deadline for incoming transfers in England.

McCarthy has something to prove before the World Cup, so perhaps he'll put in some effort. Mido? Mido is yet to know the meaning of effort.

No idea who Ilan is but it's a good deal, 6 month short contract and if Zola likes him, we've got first choice for another 2 years extension - which is my understanding.

Yeah McCarthy will be useful I feel, Mido well we all know his track record! and Ilan could be good an for 6 months we really can't go wrong.

West Ham seriously has no excuse for not scoring goals now :laugh: Dreading our game against them. :cry: BTW Rappy have they rearranged it yet?

according to the West Ham site it was meant to be 2nd February i.e today but that was postponed again so who knows!

Actually i totally forgot we were meant to play you tonight, instead we've got the cup replay. If i'm honest i'd rather we had played you tonight just to get the game out of the way.

7 Strikers!! :blink: Barry Fry isn't managing West Ham these days is he :laugh:

so celtic sell macdonald to buy keane.... i wonder if that is even a good move....considering macdonald is performing for them and keane is inconsistent....

I had the same tht while reading abt this deal.. Keane can be a very handy player or he can have another spell like he had with 'Pool.. Mido is same but I feel West Ham made the right move by going for him.. he has quality

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
