Hello, everyone, here’s Winter’s Window, Day 12 report.

Signings :

Is Hatem Ben Arfa’s signing to OGC Nice, legal ? The French international, played for Hull, during the first part of the season, (on loan from his legit club Newcastle), but the game played under Newcastle’s colors with the Under-21 is considered legal and FIFA’s rules are very clear: no player can play for three clubs during the same season! Ben Arfa is gutted, unhappy and wants to abandon his professional career ! Nice’s lawyers are investigating, hoping to find a solution…

Welcome to Manchester City, Wilfried Bony ! After many rumors and suppositions, the former Swan is now the latest Citizen. The Ivory’s Coast international signed for  four and a- half-year( fee undisclosed); he’ll wear the number 14 shirt. The 26-year-old won’t be available immediately; Africa’s Cup is on the way !

Manchester United is keen to sign Serie’s A, Argentine Paulo Dybala, aged 21(Palermo) Nevertheless the club’s president, doesn’t want to lose the young striker, at least not in this Transfer Window:” Dybala’s worth at least 40M Euros, but he’ll stay with us till June.This is what I told the English(MAN.U).
