Transfer Rumours in January 2011 Predicted to Make Headline News

The forthcoming January 2011 Premier League football transfers are expected to make news with clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea looking for big name signings in order to compete with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Champions League and of course to get their hands on the Premier League title.

Transfer rumours get football fans talking like nothing else with gossip, speculation and in lots of cases, total nonsense. Premier League managers keep their cards tight to their chest regarding players they are looking to snap up in the transfer window and this January will be no different. Here we look at why transfer signings are such big news in the English Premier League.

Players like Weisley Schneider, Fernando Torres and Karim Benzema are bound to be on the list of players these managers would love to sign for their club in January. There's always negotiations taking place behind the scenes involving players clubs and agents. These talks are usually tentative approaches which are strictly off the record but many of these discussions are leeked and make the news. Take for example the recent Wayne Rooney saga at Manchester United. The news that he wanted to leave the club made headline news in most newspapers and then all the transfer talk surrounding which team was going to sign him. This example just shows how big Premier League football transfers are by making headline news.

Signing a new player is just as important to the supporters as they want players that will improve their team and new signings can mean the difference between winning and losing. Apart from actual football results, it's the one of the main things that fans look out for when checking the football section in newspapers or websites.

The fans tend to spread transfer news by word of mouth from one to another. Social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter fire the flames by spreading transfer rumours very quickly and to many people, especially if the rumour involves a well known player which can capture the imagination of the fans. If a famous player is seen talking to a club, people immediately come to the conclusion that a transfer is on the cards. A football transfer can give everyone connected with the football club a huge boost along with improving the quality of the team.

There are some websites that deliver the latest transfer news, from newspaper/magazine type websites to individual blogs. These websites contain all sorts of rumours from the sublime to the ridiculous. Many of these transfer rumours are gossip although the mere fact that these websites are so popular demonstrates how seriously fans take this subject.

Who Should Liverpool FC Buy in the January Transfer Window?

Note that this article is about who we can realistically buy, not who I want us to buy in fantasy land. Liverpool Football Club have been strongly linked with Turkish whiz-kid Arda Turan recently, and I see this as an ideal move. Reportedly Arda (Turkish players are commonly known by their first name rather than their surname) would be available for around £10m, and we could easily raise that amount of cash with the sale of Andriy Voronin, Ryan Babel and Andrea Dossena. The Turk often plays on the right wing but has been known to play in central midfield before, making him a highly versatile player (the kind that Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez likes).

The second player that could really benefit our team is veteran Dutch striker Ruud Van Nistlerooy, who, at his peak was one of the top marksmen in the world, but sadly now can't get a game for Real Madrid (his current club) due to their heavy squad redevelopment in the summer (where they spent over £200m on new players).

Another player that could be quite handy is Simon Kjaer. The Danish defender is one of Europe's hottest defensive talents, and the 20 year old who currently plays at Palermo would be a great addition to our squad and would certainly help to sure up our uncharacteristically leaky defence. Despite this, I think buying Kjaer might be a step too far for us, as we probably don't have the funds and our money would be better spent on quality attacking players.
