Hi Stoke fans- I'm not a stoke fan, but not sure if any of you heard Tony Pulis on the radio this morning, speaking to gray and keys?

Just thought it was really refreshing, just very open and honest, answering direct questions about the chelsea game- then they kind of 'sheepishly' asked tony if he was signing anyone. He just said, 'oh yeah we need to strengthen the squad, I'm looking to bring in 4-5 new players, I'm waiting towards the end of the window, as usually the prices are lower'.

I'm a gooner and when you are used to wenger's interviews, listening to pulis was like wow you guys are so lucky, no BS just as it is.

good result on sat- goodluck for the season
LG Gooner

Portsmouth are paying back a record amount for any sports club going into admin. Southampton paid back a penny to the pound, so both teams are as bad as each other , both clubs still owe the company i work for money from previous debts etc. Just both get on with your seasons and be glad the football on the south coast in general is looking up.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Liam Ridgewell - Wanted by Aston Villa, Newcastle and Leicester City. Value £2m

Cameron Jerome - Wanted by Leicester City, Wolves and Wigan. Value £1m(ish)

Chris Burke - Wanted by Bolton, Wigan, Leicester and Tottenham. Value £500k

Nikola Zigic - Wanted by Leicester City and Roma. Value £2m

Keith Fahey - Wanted by Burnley, Watford, Southampton and Leicester City. Value £300k

Stephen Carr - Wanted by Hereford, Exeter, Notts County and Sheffield United. Value probably free.
____________________________________________

Shut up you fool you dont know anything. Firstly the club value Ridgewell at more than 2 million and Villa said they have no money to spend anyway as well as Leicester saying they only want a new striker in now. Secondly, Fulham had a £3 million offer turned down about a week ago for Jerome so why would they know sell him for 2 million less only days later? Next, Burke only just joined Birmingham in July so I am not even sure if the rules permit him to move to another club... Plus, Zigic has said that he has only had offers from Premier League Clubs not Roma And finally, the club have been working hard to keep Carr so why would they let him leave on a free and why would he take a huuuuge wage drop to play at lower league football level? Im not even a Birmingham fan and i know this. Jheeeeeze.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Why would we sell a player for a 3rd of wat we payed-zigic. Fahey said he is going to be the future of blues. Burke can't leave till contract completed. carr wanted by bolton so why'd he go to them dodgy clubs.Ridgewell said he's takin us to prem.Jerome id terrible but why would we decline a 3mil bid and accept a 2mil bid?-season ticket holder i'd no

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would you think leicester want your best players?

West brom cant spend anything for.next two years. Is a fact they have no money the.cupboard is bare

-------------------------------------------------------

The fact of the matter is West Brom have no debt (or only a very small one) at present and are able to spend again this season if they choose. It is Wolves that cannot spend anything now for 2 years as all of their money is going towards the new stand at the custard bowl. And what on earth are you saying the cupboard is bare for? This statement usually applies to silverware which if you knew anything about West Brom you'd know that we have a very good history and have won plenty of silverware.

Ed, maybe you should start putting an age limit on for people to post on here because the children are doing my head in

Believable0 Unbelievable0

How did they buy long then?

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Aug 2011 12:53:38
Celtic have just annonced that the club debt has almost been wiped out. End of year figures show the bank debt is now only £530,000

Should be comfortably able to strengthen the team with a keeper, central defender and striker without putting the finances in danger, especially since there are a few to go

Happy days

Believable1 Unbelievable2

Yeah, Happy days........30 years ago.

"Wolves away win at Blackburn on Saturday has convinced the fans and the Wolves management they are now Champions league bound. Due to this the board have given Mick McCarthy £250,000 to go and get the players he needs to win the Premier League"


Grow up, disgruntled Albion fan? Every Wolves fan I've spoken to is very realistic about this season. We know it's gonna be tough again, but we're all fairly optimistic about making the continued progress that the manager, players, the board, all the fans and everybody connected to the club deserve

it says on here that watford NEARLY went into administration twice thats true in 2003 all the staff and players had to take wage cuts to avoid it and again in 2009 some of ur best players had to be sold to avoid it again if ur not sure of ur clubs history go to watford fc wikipedia

----------------------------------------------------

Surely you just stated this yourself - Watford NEARLY went into administration. Watford also NEARLY won the FA Cup in 1984. There is a HUGE difference between nearly doing something and doing it I NEARLY won the lottery last year when I got 5 numbers up instead of 6

FACT: Watford FC has NEVER been in administration. Can we get back to some rumours now please.

He has been playing for West Ham (mainly in the youth and reserve sides) since 2006 including a loan spell to Coventry. Zavons favourite colour is blue and he likes jerk chicken and rice and his heroes are Barack Obama and Usain Bolt. Apart from Upton Park Hines names The Etihad Stadium (Man City) as his favourite stadium. He likes hanging out with friends and playing his computer. With regards to him signing a new deal.

I have been following this site for the last 5 weeks now and it seems to me that 99% of what is written is utter rubbish. How many times do you see "guaranteed" or "reliable source" ?

How many clubs is Cahill or Dann been "guaranteed" to be going to. Shane Long, Modric, Nasri on and on and on....

I know its a rumour site but will all the pillocks who keep giving guarantees or done deals please start being truthful.

If you heard it from your dads best friends milkman it probably isnt true. If you had a dream and it seemed really real like the week before when you were holidaying in the bahamas with miss aniston and the baby was actually yours then dont actually write write on here about it......


Come on people....real stories please...

Anyway, got to go...off for a kick about...my mate says his mate lionel is over for a few drinks and a kick.

Yes i have a few rumours, come from a very reliable source known as JWM.
Town set to sign Billy Sharp even though he is crocked and also Jimmy Bullard. Comes from a relative who drives a taxi and has a friend who drives another taxi, who had a friend that was formally a taxi driver and who once picked JB up and took him to Portman Road
Personally i think we will sign Ryan Shotton and SEB but what do i know, i have no sources {Ed003's Note -You should always believe taxi drivers}
