Transfer tweets

We kick-off a regular new feature by looking at the best of the tweets from the transfer window.

We kick-off a regular new feature by looking at the best of the transfer tweets...

Social network sites landing footballers in trouble is not new news but Twitter as a mode of communication that breaks down traditional barriers between punter, pundits/journalists and players has never been more so apparent than in the transfer window that has just slammed shut. With this in mind, we're pleased to introduce a new feature that will pick out the best sporting tweets from around the globe each week.

Intrigued to see how Ancelotti now juggles #cfc line-up. 442 with Torres-Drogba up top, Malouda l-mid? Torres will thrive on Lampard passes

Things that cost £35m. Van Gogh's Irises, Picasso's Femme aux Bras Croises & #NUFC Grand Garcon avec Tail de Pony.

£35million for Andy Carroll? It's enough to make you fall off a stool in a casino.

Gotta say if sky sports news went pay per view on the last day of transfer window I'd pay and get my popcorn + ice cream out all day!

Sterling in crisis as Pound falls massively in value against the Football Striker. Now at £35m to the Striker.

@pbarclaytimes

If Torres had asked for a transfer a month earlier, it would have reported as a vote of no confidence in Hodgson.
