Can see Cardiff City struggling this year if they perform like that evey week. When I say struggle, I mean don't get the play offs.
A lot of average players playing for them except a few who are top flight quality.
Surprised to see David Marshall not snapped up by a Premier League side. Definitely good enough for someone like Wigan, West Ham or QPR. Craig Bellamy and Mark Hudson are also at that quality. Bellamy may be a Cardiff fan but he's far too good for second division football. Again, surprised QPR didn't pursue their interest.
Jordon Mutch is going to be an international player in the future if he carries on developing. He's good enough for the Premier League now and I don't know why Birmingham let him go. Could be signing of the summer long term.

Huddersfield were pretty good tonight and quite surprised with how good they've recruited this off season
Joel Lynch, Sean Scannell and Adam Clayton are all Championship players with pretty decent experience. Jack Hunt is a Championship player now, going to be a Premier League defender in the future. Oliver Norwood is their best deal. Very surprised someone like Blackburn or Bolton didn't sign him as he's a top player and can see him playing in the Champions League in the near future, not with Town though!!. Top midfielder.
I was impressed with huddersfield and think we were lucky to beat them.Some great saves by Marshall (but that's what he's there for) stopped the best outfield player, Jach Hunt from getting the champers.

Obviously watched different game to me,neither team had any quality up front, defending poor and no creativity in the middle,a season long struggle and the wrong end
17 Aug 2012 22:23:16
from what I saw tonight huddlesfield don't need to many signings. Hunt will probobly have a rise in interest after the performance he put in against us
17 Aug 2012 21:48:09
Not a rumour, just a big big thank you to
Tony Fernandes for being the first QPR
owner to put his money up front and stop us
being a selling club, Come on u RRR's
Yeah thanks tony and mark, was at todays game. the most embarrasing game i have ever seen in 20 years of watching qpr.

Spurs are working on 2 major signings of quality players in excess of 25m. time is fast running out and the more they delay the weaker their position becomes, as they found out with the modric saga.

Swans will be even better this session no problem staying up !
17 Aug 2012 17:26:04
Charlton wont be able to sign a new striker until they get rid of Clarke and Hayes. Hayes is wanted by Brentford,Bournemouth and a couple of other league 1 clubs, however Clarke isnt wanted by anyone, this is a problem for charlton as they dont want to release Clarke because they want to use the combined fee's of Clarke and Hayes to sign a new striker. They are after a few strikers such as Stephen Dobbie, Sam Baldock, Nick Powell(Loan) and possibly a surprise move for Rob Earnshaw
17 Aug 2012 16:37:29
In all honesty I am a die hard charlton
fan and as much as I would of love
to of seen our club spending loads of
money I'm more excited that we may
see now more of our youngsters, like
Callum Harriot, Jordan Cousins and
Ruben Bover and Michael Smith. A few
have been on the fringes now for a
season or two its there turn to come
in now and become the new wagstaffs
and solly's!

Oxford UTD's Board are starting to make contigency plans incase the worst case scenario of relegation happens. This will be a bitter blow to the supporters who will be less than pleased that the club should even entertain the possibility when they themselves demand at least a play off push. There will be no danger of Wilder leaving this season regardless of results, the board feel that if they do go down then Wilder will be the best option to deal with the Blue Square.
This should be on the actual rumours page!! This news is no secret and many yellows are not impressed. {Ed001's Note - so news should be on the rumours page? Hmmm ok, if you say so.}
But news should be on the Banter should it? And has most of your contributors to this RUMOUR site claim that what they are saying is FACT you make a mockery of all of them do you? Grow up...your supposed to be a ED. Not that this will get posted but what I meant was this was obviously not meant as BANTER and it should be on the main page. {Ed001's Note - oh stop whining, you need to grow up, it will go where it is put, not where you want it. If you don't like it, make your own site and stop wasting my time with your brattish whinging. Just because mummy does everything her little soldier asks her to do, doesn't mean it applies to the real world I am afraid.}

nuri sahin could be set for a u turn and now move to arsenal over liverpool
He will regret either move.
17 Aug 2012 13:40:43
celtic fan here, i would have thought that considering the great team the PH is putting together that u have only sold 4850 ST, is there any reason why they have been so slow. best of luck on sunday.

All I have to say is Nicola, you legend! Oh and please sign some more defenders!
Ramirez has confirmed he is ready to fly to England to conclude a move to St Mary's.
"Bologna will tell me on Friday if I can move," he told the Corriere dello Sport.
"The truth is that I think, yes, this time I am moving. Bologna has reached an agreement with Southampton, and there are only a few details to be found but the agreement in principle is done."
Ramirez admits that Southampton have offered him very good terms, and he is happy to become a key player for them.
"The English club has reached an agreement with me, it is the classic offer that you cannot refuse for my life as a whole and my family.
"But they believe in me in every way, I will be essential and above all they are going to grow. Southampton is a newly promoted team in the English top-flight but they will become a big team in years to come.
"They have told me they are going to build and that is very stimulating."

Dervite signing now confirmed on official Charlton website.

Looks like ramirez is signing £11.8m! Looks a player. I knew Saints had money but if this goes through, cortese really has pulled it out of the bag!
17 Aug 2012 09:33:04
Southampton have all but signed Gaston Ramierez
Do we have your attention now!
The only reason why the saints went down all those years ago was you stopped spending money on players year after year..

Huddersfield fans I come in peace. I am a celtic fan and was just wondering how much realistically yop
u's feel Rhodes would be allowed to leave for? As a celtic fan I believe he is just what we need to partner hooper if we qualify for the champions league. At Celtic Park, the fans are screaming for him - he is just a class act! Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated. Thanks
Seamus :)
Why would anyone want to move from the championship to SPL With Celtic as the only good team
With all due respect to celtic fans, i cant see jordan moving to celtic. There just isnt enough hard competative games in the SPL, celtic will have won the league & be 20+ points clear by christmas, yes ur in the champions league, but jordan needs to prove the doubters wrong week in, week out, if he does he will be snapped up by a premier league club. AG
17 Aug 2012 07:09:06
Where do clubs/people get their valuations of players from? Rhodes £10m+ as he scored for Scotland. Fletcher £15m+, jarvis £10m+, Phillips (blackpool) £6m+, butland £10m+ there's a host of others aswell, non of which are worth what people are quoting...time to get real people!
They want 18 mil for butland just to pi** u off more

Hi can someone tell me what has happened to Jan Toral. Arsenal signed him a few years ago and he was touted as the next great thing.

reports Joey Barton going to Marseille with Mbia going in the oppersite direction. If true I don't know what the transfer world is coming too. Well done to QPR for getting rid of an person and bringing in a top player.
17 Aug 2012 00:57:03
can david healy still cut it at PNE? or should he go back to the prem hahaahaha
16 Aug 2012 23:50:18
Southampton have had a fee of around £15mil for Gaston Ramirez according to reports coming out of Italy this evening. If true, this would prove to be a signal of intent by the club to not only survive this season but to push on to at least a midtable finish. The stumbling block here could be the wages wanted by Ramirez. Could be something to keep an eye on.
The wages are agreed around 35k
