Championship rumours:

Derby are casting their eye over Australian forward Joshua Kennedy the 29 year old is currently with Japanese side Nagoya Grampus. A bid of 1.5m could see the target man leave.

Nottingham Forest are set to sign 3 players within the next month. Giles Barnes looks set to sign on a free transfer. Kyle McFadzean from Crawley for £700,000k and Hibernian captain Iam Murray who is out of contract.

Bristol City looking to add depth in all departments are chasing; Martyn Waghorn, Paul Dixon, Jody Morris, and Burnely's Martin Paterson.

Waggy loves lcfc and pearson and pearson loves him back loaned him from sunderland played him loads and then loaned him at hull.

Liverpool are looking to tie up deals for Mohammed Diame and David Hoilett this week, both players are free agents next month. Liverpool are looking to clear a number of players off their wage bill Alberto Aquilani,Dirk Kuyt,Jay Spearing,Fabio Aurelio,Dani Pacheco,Brad Jones,Maxi Rodriguez and Nathan Eccleston look set to leave the club. Joe Cole may yet have a future at the club Daglish wants to see how he does pre-season. Kenny is due for talks with John Henry and Co. next week over his future and to discuss what happened during the season, next seasons transfer budget and targets etc.. Ciaran Clark of Aston Villa is another surprise target for Liverpool while they will also look to add a back up striker next year, Gary Hooper and Jermaine Defoe are being considered. Liverpool may be looking to strenghten but no offence to the players mentioned they are good in their own right just not world class and while Liverpool sign the likes of Diame,Hoilett,Clark,Hooper all the other big clubs will be signing top talent like Podolski,Hazard,M'Vila,Cavani etc. the club will fall further behind if we don't splash on the best players we can get without CL football.

Why would Hoilett go to Liverpool. A mid table side without suarez. And he will be off this summer. Liverpool a few years ago could attract big players and get CL football not anymore. There not a big club and sooner you see this the better. You have a rubbish manager and pay stupid money for average players. Plus it's been over the papers you don't have any money to spend.

13 May 2012 21:50:13
Following their dramatic survival in the premier league, QPR are looking to conclude deals for loanees Taye Taiwo and Samba Diakite from AC Milan and Nancy respectively. The pair are believed to have clauses in the loan deals which would allow them to join the club permanently for a fee of around 4million each. Mark Hughes is also believed to want a Goalkeeper with the most likely options being Craig Gordon from Sunderland or Allan Mcgregor from Rangers.

Sounds about right, and maybe the odd one or two more. And Ale will be back :)

13 May 2012 21:44:10
I think luarence bassini will give Sean dyche a good amount of money for when the transfer window opens because of the large amount of money we've made from players and I've heard that we've got 4 players I'm the pipeline
Watford possible signings:
Tomasz kuszack(free)
James Collins (free)
Tommy smith(1 million)
Barnard(if Collins dosnt sign)
Joel ward(500,000)
Plus I heard that we will get 1 million pounds for sordell who left but since Bolton hot relgatef it's in the clause for them to give the money + adrain mariappa is likely to leave Watford for Newcastle {Ed003's Note - Cheers,Mr Pipeline }

Joel ward is going to Leeds sorry

Shocking reports are coming out of Norwich City that there may be 2/3 players in the Leeds squad who Paul Lambert doesn't want to add to his playing squad. Having made it public he wants to recruit the entire first team squad at Leeds, Lambert has now said he isn't currently looking at Paul Rachubka as a possible goalkeeping option, but would love to bring him to the club as a member of his backroom team.

Derby county to sign

Michael Jacobs-Nom fee
Fegor Ogude-400k
Krystian Pearce-150k
Sammy Clingan-Free Transfer
Paul Dixon-Free Transfer
Havard Nielsen-350k
Karleigh Osbourne-Free Transfer
Jonas Svensson-Nom fee

Outs
Chris maguire
Miles Addison(Possibly)
Paul Green
Lee croft
Chris jones
James severn
Aaron cole
Ryan Conolly
Connor doyle(loan)
Callum ball(loan)
Mark Obiren(loan)

Miles Addison is a Possibiltity because
he has been offered a cut price
contract but is yet to make his
decision.

Chris maguires loan to portsmouth was
a chance for him to show what he
had to offer and hopefully attract some
clubs as you can tell nigel feels it
wasnt the signing he thought.

Obrien will Be going out loan as Even
though it was fantastic for derby
county to showcase their youngsters
last year e.g Bennet,Thomas, there
should be a hint of embarassment
for some of the players when Bennett
got a starting place in a competive
league match ahead of alot older
players.So if derby do go up and with
these signings Play offs should
Definatley be a target.If we didnt buy
Anyone and went up last year and
you were 2-1 down to stoke and
needed a goal we only have 15-16
year olds to call upon

13 may 2012 14:11:42

Sky sports thinking they are the world police again. Tomorrow they are doing a report on football hooligans in Ukraine, really? From the country with the biggest hooligans in the world!?

Iceman

Every country has a hooligan problem but i think in eastern europe they are where we were in the 70s and 80s so i dont think we have the biggest problem now, dont get me wrong we still have our fair share of idiots.

Not this person again!
Usual inflammatory rubbish!
Liono74 ftm

Yep your right m8 ,scotland have the most hooligans and worst teams in the world!!!

maximus

13 May 2012 11:19:03
I love the fact that supporters of other teams call us Saints a small club! I think you might find we are in fact one of the richest clubs in Europe if not the world! However the club is careful about how it operates now. Whether we stay up or go down we will enjoy the ride. We deserve it after the sxxt we have put up with over the last 7 years and the stick from that skint jealous lot down the road. COYR!!

Haha that made me laugh lol you worry what people right on here a page on the internet you need to get out more mate

Rich doesn't mean your a big club.

Reading's new owners in waiting make the club 9th richest in the world, yet they don't think they're a big club.

In fact they admit they could become a big club, as Saints hope to do as well.

Stop getting above yourselves. Saints are a nothing club that hung around like a bad smell in the top flight for a good while, is all.

Rich doesnt make you a big club

Sounds like a lot of sour grapes to me

13 May 2012 11:02:38
i have been to northampton though it,ll be nice when its finished and you,ve got electricity and carpets !

13 May 2012 10:48:52

Whitbread

Pacheco
Jackson
Vaughan
Morison
Lansbury

This squad gives PL lots of options and formations to stablise Norwich in the premier league

13 May 2012 10:31:47
as an fellow Ipswich fan I think Leeds are going to really going to tick every club off because of the players they are buying!
For example I January pearce and ward were done deals but the personal details were a stumbling block. 4 months on pearce has signed for leeds and ward is very close to doing tht aswell.

This shows we can't compete with teams like Leeds on
wage demands which shows alot in the club not being ambitious enough!

Sadly I think Ipswich will be at te bottom half or the table like always!
Lastly SACK PAUL JEWELL

I don't think you know our chairman if you think this is the case haha

The only thing that now plays into Leeds' hands is the new fair play rules. Due to capping wages at 20k per player means that we can beat most teams in the league to players due to our facilities and heritage etc and i dont mean that in a we are bigger than you speech, just that in comparison to most teams in the league we have been in the top division for longer and capitalised on making ourselves a renowned club in English football.

It has nothing to do with wages, trust me 100%.

TeejLUFC

We have had our transfer troubles as well, other clubs hijacking our targets and other clubs taking our best players, we was after stockdale and boywer last season but your club snatched them but that's the way it goes, its a right pain just to left with the scraps,just now things are looking up at Leeds now coz we have warnock and love him or hate him he is an honest man and a brilliant record at the level and having a big transformation at Leeds so it looks interesting to other players, if jewell did they same I'm sure he could get the targets

13 May 2012 09:21:09
Look at the size of the populations, dee da is small small. Leeds is the second biggest City outside London with the worldwide fan base.

And you still can't fill your ground so what's that say about your fans with all this so called worldwide fan base

No it isn't, far from it in fact!!

Accually birmingham is thats why its called the 2nd city :-s n wolves got a bigger fan base than you

Yeh that's right Wolves have a bigger fan base than us what a horrendous comment. The year we got relegated our average attendance was 36,666, two thousand less than eventual winners Arsenal. Also prior to that we have always been in the top 5 supported clubs averaging around 40 thousand a year before relegation. Furthermore this year we averaged 24 thousand, in a very poor year, and wolves averaged 25 thousand in the premiership.

TeejLUFC

Birmingham dwarfs leeds and im sure liverpool and manchester are bigger.huddersfield is certainly more important as the home of the first league treble team.birthplace of rugby league and home of harold wilson.and a good chippy.

Fan base* not stadium average*

13 May 2012 08:53:50
Right as we all know Carlos Cuellar and Emile Heskey are leaving so.... Replacements.

Defensively unfortunately I think we will get Scott Dann. Big Eck will definitely put a bid in. I also feel we need a quick yet solid full back. Someone like Wayne Bridge.

Midfield, we already have about 10 midfielders, 60% are kids. We obviously won't see Stiliyan Petrov next season. So we need some experienced heads with quality. Niko Kranjcar will be a good buy. Junior Hoilett will be a steel, but there will be stiff competition for him.

Strikers. Well we simply are not good enough at the moment. My shout will be Yakubu, a goalscorer! I also think Jermain Defoe will be a brilliant buy. He hardly plays for Spurs. Will he want to come to Villa though?? Robbie Keane was awesome for us during his short spell. Sign him up if we can.

13 May 2012 01:28:00
To put rumour into truth, I've been analysing those about Peterborough United's Paul Taylor. I cannot confirm that Personal terms will be agreed, but there's been an enquiry from Leeds United. Paul Taylor valued at around 1.75million but with a year left could see him move to Elland Road for a fee in the region of 1.5million. As a scout of Leeds United I have attended 6 games at London Road including the home and away legs against Leeds. Another player on Leeds United's radar is George Boyd who is a hot target for us, where interest has been declared. Any Queeries do respond.

13 May 2012 00:01:59
Lee barnard to leave southampton this summer. Seam dyche's watford has shown a keen eye as they are looking for a goal scorer.

12 May 2012 23:55:50
I was talking to Nigel Clough in a pub in Nottingham today and he told me that the Michael Jacobs deal was off. A fee of 500k had been agreed for the winger but the player himself turned down the wages that Derby offered him. He has been offered a chance to join Watford with the Hornets increasing the money Derby offered him by 50%.
