The Daily Hilario: Welcome to Silly Season

TRANSFER WINDOW:

Eight hours ago, at zero-hundred hours (GMT) on January 3, 2015, the January transfer window opened.  Like an infernal gate to the pits of hell, it shall spew silly, random, hilarious, and occasionally even perhaps somewhat true rumors all the way until it slams shut (it never just closes, it SLAMS) at 11pm GMT on February 2, 2015.

Are you ready for this?!

I said, ARE. YOU. READY!?

Good luck!  May the forces of common sense be with you at all times.
