What the fans say – February 3

Maybe it's a sad reflection of our team that there was so much interest in this one player. Yes, he can make a difference, yes he can bring something new to our team and something which we really need at this moment in time, but it's almost like folk are more interested in signing players than the actual football. It's weird. As I said I'm glad he's joining us but I think when people step back a bit and look at the circus that surrounded his arrival ... I dunno, it's all just a bit distasteful, in my opinion.

Chelsea: bluechampions.com – Quaresma's move prompts conspiracy theory

The Special One would be the last one to help a champions league rival. That's why it concerns me instead of comforting me. Is this like Fergie letting go Silvestre to join Arsenal? I know I'm taking it a bit too far. Quaresma can be good. At 25 he is at the right age to unleash his talent and realise his potential. Scolari has worked with Quaresma as you would expect him to do with anyone of Portuguese or Brazilian origin. May be it was Scolari who named him, who gave him a debut and was the priest in the church where he got married.

Fulham: hammyend.com – Jimmy Bullard's gone and already forgotten

We know that Jimmy Bullard has gone - and that subject really has been done to death. The latest revealation about Jimmy's knee seems to suggest that, with every day that goes by, the deal that took the cheeky chappie off to Hull for a cool £5m was a good one from our point of view.

Spurs: spurscommunity.co.uk – not everyone's happy about Keane's return

paxton_soul: Bizarre...now we get to find out how he and JD can't play together all over again. Angry when he left - decidedly mixed feelings about him returning...but all will soon be forgotten if he can recover the form he had alongside Dimi - and therein probably lies the rub.

West Ham: jlmd.blogspot.com – January has been the making of Gianfranco

Thus far, though, Zola, as a prudent Sardinian, has not poked his nose in other people's business. He has merely voiced that it is regrettable that for a month a team like his own, one which in difficult circumstances has found a rhythm and a self-belief that seemed so remote so recently, should be picked over like the shelf of a super sale. It wouldn't happen, he was saying so quietly he might have been speaking to himself, in a sport which understood the real meaning of competition.
