Swindon have released two goal keepers including back up keeper Phil Smith. David James to sign for Swindon as back up and to help improve Wes Foderingham who had a fantastic season for Swindon, twice equaling the club record for clean sheets in a row. Di Canio and James old mates and James wants to stay in the area after his release from Bristol City.
Swindon will also make a couple of interesting signings next week that will definatly surprise a few people and without doubt show their intentions for next season...however if anymore after this are to come in they need to get rid of some fringe players first.

Chris Gunter has reportedly turned down a move to Swansea and is going to sign for Norwich
17 May 2012 22:23:37
West brom held secret interviews last week the person that spent the most time with your chairman as avram grant I am not saying he will get the job but his interview went very well
Snodin
So his interview went very well, that's nice for him isn't it. Great bit of in-depth reporting there fella, you know his interview went well, but you're not saying he'll get the job... in other words - you're guessing.
Dullard
Its big eck

Ole gunnar solskjaer will be named villa boss as early as tomorrow mark my words this is from a top source within the club.

Demba Ba is set to exit Newcastle this summer, once a club activates his 7 million pound release clause however the only problem is Ba has a clause in his contract entitling him to a certain percentage of any further transfer fees, so Newcastle could miss out on making a fair bit of profit from the sale.
17 May 2012 21:30:24
If Bridcut was part of the Croft deal Brighton wouldn't be paying they would be receiving 1 Million plus from Norwich (no chance)
17 May 2012 21:09:02
Players topping Nigel Adkins Transfer Wishlist
Matt Jarvis - 4.3M Nearly a done deal
Trippier - Fee agreed for Trippier and J Rod in double swoop 10M for both players
J Rodriguez -
Hooper - Most likely January signing due to Champions League Qualifier
Zac Whitbread - Free transfer, only personal terms
Jordan Rhodes - Agreed Fee if Huddersfield fail in play offs
Jacob Butterfield - Enquired but Newcastle leading
So in your opinion we are going to add 3 more strikers Rodriguez, Hooper and Rhodes. We already have Lambert, Sharpe, Lee, Barny, Connolly, you could also add Guly to that list. I appreciate Barny and Connolly will probable be moved on but there is no way we will add an extra 3 to the club.
I would not be surprised if we did get another 1 striker but not 3. Also i reackon Adkins will try and add a Striker with Prem experience.
Lol saints fans wolves have said its going to take 10 mill to prize jarvis from wolves

Saints (who do buisness behind closed
doors) have set their sights on
Aiden McGeady from Spartak Moscow
NA sees the former Celtic winger as
the perfect player for his team. Deal
to be done before RoI set off for the
Euros Cost 7M.
The two Owens Michael and Hargeaves
are to join as pay as you play along
with Clynde who will have a five year
contract
The final piece will be Heskey Saints
need a back up to Sir Rickie and he
fits the bill
Exciting time at St Marys
Wow that sounded alright until you mentioned those two injury prone Owens and Heskey.
The only way Heskey fits the bill is if saints are looking for some one to inspire Lambert into not missing a game as if he has Heskey as back up Saints are doomed! Looking to sign better players not world beaters just good players
Haha behave
17 May 2012 20:41:24

Crawley manager Sean O'Driscoll will go back to former club Doncaster to sign players
17 May 2012 20:28:27
who are any of you to criticize him? let's not forget that Martinez has avoided relegating with Wigan, He defeated Arsenal, Sunderland, Newcastle, and almost drawing City. by the way his "relegation" squad beat Liverpool once and drew once. who ever will be the next manager is already going to fail if hes going to be dealing with likes of some people on this site. Wenger came from a random Japanese club. he hasn't won anything except the THE PREMIER LEAGUE! Spanish coaches always play sexy soccer
17 May 2012 19:51:54
Andre Villas Boas favourite for me. Chelsea was the wrong team for him and he wasn't able to make his transfers but given freedom he could lead us into the top 4. He has world class experience and might be able to get some of those great Porto and ex-Porto players.
Rogers would be my seccond choice. Risky but good with transfers and if it pays off we would do really well from it.
Sorry Martinez, wrong club for you
17 May 2012 19:41:03
Cant believe Leicester are signing Jamie Vardy from Fleetwood. Hes currently at the King Power undergoing a medical. I cant help but think its a desperate move as he hasnt played league football before. He aint exactly cheap either costing 1m possibly rising to 1.7m. Can anyone shed any light on him as a player as i have no idea what hes like?
Good luck blackpool and chelsea saturday!
LeicesterLad {Ed003's Note - Small, tricky and fast,can play as a winger or striker }
Leicester lad .. give this boy a chance ..
stocky and quick .. watched him v blackpool fa cup . and tight .... oyston offered 1 mill straight after game!
he will make the grade !
maximus
Cheers lads he sounds very promising. I know a lot of championship clubs were after him so cant wait to see him in action pre-season. Hopefully we get rid of waste-of-space Beckford now!
LeicesterLad
Beckford a waste of space? He finished 2nd behind Nugent with 15 goals for goodness sake! Are you one of those clever foxes that was calling Yakubu crap for 'only' scoring 20 goals when he was on loan at Leicester?
What is it you people want from a striker, someone who scores goals, or someone who runs around like a headless chicken "giving his all" but never actually mustering a shot on target, ala Robbie Savage?
Vardy has the potential to be a very good player, he's expensive because he's in great demand and Pearson has dived straight in to secure him before someone else does. He'll line up alongside Shluup and will probably play as much next season, the odd game here or there, the league cup, a few appearances off the bench, but he'll be learning as he goes.
You clearly know nothing! Robbie savage was a great player for us! Beckford might have have got 15 goals but he's lazy and is only there for the money...he could of had 30 goals the amount of chances he had...the goals he did score my nan would have finished! Gimme the Yak all day long! Look at his attitude away to Leeds last day of the season! Ship him off to 'Leicester rejects Utd (Leeds) and have done with it!!
LeicesterLad {Ed025's Note - you usually talk utter rubbish...but i agree with you on this one..
I talk utter rubbish to get a reaction out of ppl m8
LeicesterLad {Ed025's Note - your good at it..
Cheers m8 lol! It would be pretty depressing if you post stuff on ere with no reply! At least my posts get plenty of attention even if they are ridiculous at times....i think this site is jokes but i know my sh*t as well m8

With Man United choosing Kagawa, Gylfi Sigurdsson's destination of choice is Reading. If the Royals have a severe lack of judgement and turn down the chance to re-sign their academy product, he will move to Swansea, unless a bigger club come in for him.
17 May 2012 18:28:43
Whoever is in charge of this rumour website must either be a West Ham fan or someone who got a bum holiday in Blackpool... Why are our friends from East London on the prem page Ed? 3-0 Blackpool for me!
Have people forgot that West Ham beat Blackpool 4-0 at home and 4-1 away with Lansbury in goal do 40 mins as well as finishing 10 point above Blackpool
And southend finished above crewe but crewe still beat them so it doesnt make a difference who won who before its all about the game at the weekend its going to be funny if west ham lose after all there fans think coz they beat them in league they have already won
17 May 2012 19:07:29
West ham planning a £1 million cut price deal for Kevin Davies if they get promoted, with Bolton being relegated. Davies played under Allardyce and suits his style of play
Hes signed a new contract
17 May 2012 18:55:17
micheal owen seen at st marys again this time for real after his release from man u adkins see him as classy player for the prem providing he keeps fit no doubt a 20 goal man if fit lee in soton coyr
Keep dreaming, he'll stay as close to his horses as possible, i wouldn't be surprised to see him pop up at Villa once their new boss is in place, it's an easy commute and he'll have more chance of staying up with them than with Soton.
..loads of horses in the new forest...
17 May 2012 18:14:40
If AVB gets Liverpool job... Hope he gets plenty to spend, we need world class players to become a world class team... We have got half a team of championship players... and apparently now lookin into Jordan Rhodes? no thanks!
AVB or Martinez!
17 May 2012 16:20:37
Players i want to see come to norwich:
Curtis Davies
Jordan Rhodes
And
Zaha
What do you think about them NCFC fans?
17 May 2012 15:59:44
steve evans says rotherham fans will
be excited next tuesday with the new
signging do you know who it could be
ed?? {Ed013's Note - Only one I can think of is Lloyd Sam, but I thought he would go to a league 1 team. You never know}
17 May 2012 13:13:47
Michael Owen has said he would be willing to drop down to the championship but would only join a club with ambition. Under Warnock I feel we have plenty of ambition. Also simeon Jackson is looking for a way out of Norwich to gain first team football with Leeds, leicester, Burnley and derby all interested in signing him
I can see owen goin to a lower prem team hes still gd enuff when hes fit !
Umm, Michael Owen has said that the Championship is "not an option" - shush
Owen has always said he would never drop down the leagues.
However, he was offered to Reading on loan in January but the club said no in favour of signing Jason Roberts.
I do though believe on a permanent basis is a totally different story. He will stay in the PL.
17 May 2012 12:45:24
FSG, now look like faceing the hicks gillett nightmare. Carn't sell, [without taking huge loss] can't afford the cash to by instant succsess,
and have now ailenated the supporters. Time for another yanks out march ?
17 May 2012 12:21:28
{Ed015's Note - Joe Lewis has signed
for Cardiff}.

17 May 2012 12:20:49
Butterfield isnt good enough for a europa league team
17 May 2012 12:12:24
In order to settle these silly big club arguements I have come up with a formula.
Average Attendence in past 20 years: to the nearest thousand then x5 for pts- so 22,300 would = 22x5 or 110pts
Number of Years in top flight:1pt each
Number of Years in Prem: 1pt each
Title Wins: 8pts
FA CUP wins: 4pts
Lge Cups: 2pts
UEFA/CWC: 4pts
Champ/EC: 10pts
League positions in past 10 years: add them all up for a score
1st prem:100pts
2nd-90
3rd-89 right down to 1pt for 23rd lge 2
i have no axe to grind I just thought it would give a fair score that takes into account history fan base but gives weight to recent performances.
try doing your club score :D
You've got too much time on ur hands mate, I worry about what we win now not in the past....Like Liverpool
17 May 2012 12:07:15
Following Micheal Owens tweet yesterday on his offical twitter account that read his contract was out, he was in Morrisons finishing off a fried breakfast.
17 May 2012 11:45:56
Could Alessandro Del Piero sign For Notts Count?
He Has been released by Juventus. Stranger things have happend.
Absolutely no chance whatsoever.
17 May 2012 11:43:11
Ed why do u think qpr bigger than southampton please explain. NCFC matt. {Ed013's Note - No idea what you are talking about as you haven't posted to any comment}

Hi to all barnsley fc fans. I have just heard that barnsley is changing the name of oakwell to spotland 2 in honour of keith hill. And that he will sign a striker from there today.
Remember you heard it here first.
17 May 2012 07:51:16

17 May 2012 01:04:02
alex mc leish interested in the wba job,liverpool job,postmans job,coalmans job,milkmans job.........lol cmon the villa
17 May 2012 00:42:14
all wolves players who signed contracts with wolves agreed to a 30percent pay cut if relagated,so we really dont need to sell and jez moxley would not sell them cheep but would let them go to rebuild the squad so 4 mil ... i doubt it but jarvis could go because we have good enough wingers in the sqad to get out the championship
Every club has these clauses in their players contracts, and yet they all have to cut costs further!
Don't kid yourself that Wolves wont miss the £65m - of course they will.
17 May 2012 00:38:07
Why would we even want jarvis? He hasnt exactly done the business for however many seasons for wolves. I dont really care who we buy,im more worried about who we let go. Yea,everyone can say they will stay and pledge themselves to saints but if a bigger club with bigger wages come in then the likes of adam,ricky,morgan,jose and jos could all leave. Sucks,but money is evil,and the promise of europe could be all to much. Watch out for that pardew up north!! Bring back papa! He was too quick for league 1 but would probably stay onside in the prem! Plus he always played with a smile on his face..
I seriously doubt saints have any players the top six would be interested in so stop worrying, perhaps a decent season in the prem and Wolves might buy one or two when we return next year. Calm down tong was in cheek for the second part of the post
OP sort your life out!
Jarvis is actually a good player and I would see him as a welcome addition to the Saints squad.
A side that won promotion to the premier league and is financially stable is also not going to go around selling their best players!
What is wrong with you? Calm down.
Lol 1st season terrorised left n right back every game should of gone to the world cup regardless
2nd season still terrorising left n right backs gets he england call up
3rd season starts off rubbish after january hes back 8 goals hatfuls of assists should of gone to the euros so i suggest you accually watch him who you think your going to sign pedro sanchez ronaldo ect ect ect just an average team
17 May 2012 00:10:17
Out Of Favour Kenny Miller to
Aberdeen on a season long loan from
Cardiff City
17 May 2012 00:05:25
Reading have signed McCleary, and it just ges to show some rumours do materialise!
There is also interest in butterfield, hoilett, Clyne and many more.
Looks like it will be an exciting summer for reading!
All 3 of those players listed will be going to bigger clubs, I am afraid
