Swoop deals (moved)
Can someone tell us the last time one of these 'swop deals' the press are so fond of actually occurred and whether there has ever been a high profile one?

The Carroll/Tevez, Carrol/Ba suggestions were frankly absurd!

Has there ever been a swop deal?

Why can't you spell 'swap'?

Fucks sake.

I hate it when people spell it as "swop". I know either is acceptable but... urgh.

They do very rarely happen. But yet papers keep inventing them.

They are both in the dictionary but I hate the use of 'swop' rather than 'swap':

a "swop" deal per se is rare. player+cash deals have happened in the past.

I'm starting to think that "swap" was never a word. Maybe it was always just "wasp", and we are all losing our minds.

I'm going to swop swap for swop in my vocabulary.

Colin is clearly awesome. Actually, I'll swap Hectic for Colin. Or swop. Oh, fuck.

Actually, I think you'll find that you're a true Swop.

A swop. Now there's an expression I like.

You swop.

Listening to Agent Sky Andrews,he believes that the day of the big money transfer move is coming to an end and swoop deals will become more prevalent.
