Peterborough's summer spending is being funded by the sales of Paul Taylor £2.5m, George Boyd £1.5m, David Ball £250k, Nicky Ajose £250k, Mark Little £200k all this is on top of the January sale of Ryan Bennett to Norwich £4.5m. Posh have also got high earner Joe Lewis off the wage bill and there chairman Darragh MacAnthony has also made additional funds available on top of any sales and have already attracted Danny Swanson from Dundee United to Posh, they really could go very well next season as they always recruit well. A lot of clubs are starting to copy The Posh's transfer policy of signing young and hungry players and selling them for big profits. For me Posh are dark horses for the play offs next season and are a club clearly on the up.

Millwall to sign Marc Pugh from Bournemouth or if that doesn't work out the matt Richie from Swindon. Even though we signed chris taylor kenny wants another winger Becuase Liam feeney is rubbish and James Henry has one year left on his current deal.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

17 Jun 2012 12:54:17
Right-I for one am bored to tears of coming on here and seeing everyone go on about how much debt Norwich are in-The Facts are-On last accounts published Norwich had an external debt of 16million with 6-8 million to be paid off last year alone without accounting for any additional monies earned for finishing half way up the table (around 6-7million extra for finishing 12th) so there debt this year will be A LOT LESS than 10million-more likely to be around 8million with them expected to be a DEBT FREE, SELF SUFFICIENT CLUB after the 2012/13 season-how many other teams can say that? Lambert left Norwich because they thought with him at the helm he would keep them up without spending much and therefore clear there debts this season instead-With Hughton they have switched back to the original plan of clearing ALL DEBT in the next 2 seasons but giving him a much bigger transfer budget-FACT!
Oh and my source-a director of NCFC. And I am not a Norwich fan-just bored of seeing people slating a very well ran club who DESERVE to be where they are-not like other clubs riddled with debt.

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Why worry what people are putting on here , just some one on a wind up and your reacting to it, you know whats going on with your club so thats what matters

Agree0 Disagree0

It's ok lad. Don't be ashamed of your club by saying you're not a Norwich fan when you clearly are. Delia will set you up with a lovely pie from her Waitrose range.

I would personally want Reading to sign;
A Left/Right back, maybe Gunter. Or Matthew Connolly.
A Centre back, Marriappa looks to be a quality player.
And also a Striker, Rhodes, Pogerbniyak? - Not sure what that say's either, or N'Doye.

Hayden Mullins will be signing for Reading soon.

Swansea's appointment of Michael Laudrup will attract a new level of player to the Liberty Stadium, the best young continental talent on loan or possibly permanents and older, very talented players (Del Peiro) will start the summer spree. After a build up of top talent then the swans can dip back into the main market and best players, along with lines of Gylfi Sigurdsson. Laudrup may be able to convince Sigurdsson to stay although it may be too late to change to Icelandic midfielders mind. I doubt Laudrup will try to get Gunther from Nottingham forest and he will be looking for more flair from his players. Bendtner would struggle to play the lone strikers role so either a change of tactics at the swans or this rumour is unreliable. He will look for a bit more pace in the midfield so he may dip into the young players at Real Madric and Barcelona to add extra pace in the centre of the park and could also look for a Fernando Torres type player as striker. He will try to get back Steven Caulker from Spurs and if that fails he will go for a big strong centre back much like Chris Samba, although he wouldn't afford him. Laudrup will also want to develop for the future and will pick up the best young talent from the lower divisions

Believable0 Unbelievable1

WOW, you seem to know more about the future plans at the Swans than Laudrup.
