One last hurrah for Bates as he parts, selling our last valuable asset in Snoddy. Absolutely gutted! Under his tenure he has sold every last one of Leeds assets. Bates out asap...

Sick as a canary that Nawich have again pinched one of our players and yet another captain. That's the last straw for me as Snoddy was my favourite player at Leeds. Why on earth he would want to go to a team that's relegation fodder in the Premiership I have no idea. At least go to a team worth it's salt Snoddy. I pray that Nawich go down next year and we pass them on the way up. Very rare that a player who has left Leeds goes on to do well. Snoddy I wish you well, just hope you live to regret it.......

Believable4 Unbelievable5

Oh dear sour grapes, was Snodgrass in the new catalogue just like Howson was, you have to laugh he's come to a team with 22.000 season tickets and a full house every week home and away.

Bristol Rovers are struggling to bring in players because the budget isn't as good as expected. Players are turning down the club left, right and centre. Manager McGhee is becoming incresingly frustrated in his efforts to strengthen the squad according to sources close to the club. Talks are ongoing with Mark Reynolds and Garry Kenneth, although Reynolds is reluctant to move to a club in League 2 and Kenneth is hoping for a move to the newco Rangers or a top League 1 club minimum. Frustrating times to be a gashead and another miserable season of struggle is looming large on the horizon.

Sunderland centre-half Michael Turner is reportedly undergoing a medical at Norwich City.Sky Sports News have reported that the defender has travelled to Norwich for a medical.

Turner, who has just 12 months remaining on his contract at the Stadium of Light, has made 77 appearances for the Black Cats since joining from Hull City in 2009 and he featured 24 times in the Premier League last season.

Watford are unable to officially sign any player yet as teh club is still under an FA transfer embargo. This was put in place when Bassini decided he was going to sell the club and did not pay off the bond holders. This started teh precession of putting the club into administration, one of the first steps of this of course being a transfer embargo. The Pozzo family purchased the club and stopped teh administration ball from rolling any further but the FA have yet to uplift the embargo. Once this has been lifted expect to see a few of the named people linked with the club (Almunia, Hall + the udinese/granada loan boys) announced officially.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

The FA cannot 'put the club into administration'. Only those owed money by the club, or the club itself, can do that.

Just goes to show how Norwich can't do well in the Premiership without Leeds players. It's alright though we'll buy Holt and the rest off you when we get promoted and the canaries fall dead off their perch!

MOT

Believable3 Unbelievable3

Just goes to show you that Norwich fans don't know a thing and are still jealous of us at Ipswich they keep buying your players but you only finished 1place above us this is nothing against you at Leeds but what I'm trying to say is there's nothing between are two teams yet Norwich keep buying your players and say there miles ahead of anybody truth is there skint and have no ambition no prem player gonna go there unless on loan cause they know there getting relegated

Looks like another season in the premier
league where west ham are fighting off
relegation. I also tip Sam Allardyce to have been sacked or leave by Christmas.

looks bleak for hammers

No way, disagree we are a mid table team at the moment, Sam will add quality so i predict we will push for a Euro place.

Totally disagree, west ham will be fine ,the other 2 promoted will struggle and i expect them to be relegated along with norwich,who haven't exactly made any quality signings

Despite fans of Notts Forest, Palace, Leeds et al stating 'why would xxxxxx join Huddersfield?' And looking quite stupid when said player did sign for the terriers, Blackpool fans had fallen into the same trap. Lo and behold Keith Southern does sign for the terriers today. Best signing so far for us, absolutely brilliant business once again.

*not tarring you all with the same brush Tangerines ;)

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Yeah because tiny terriers are such a BIG club.....get your head out of the clouds Bud.

You are a tiny club...get it right!

Agree1 Disagree0

Calm down "ROCK CHOMPER" must be that sea breeze thats gone to ya head, TOWN are a massive club compared to BUCKET & SPADE FC. AG {Ed001's Note - this is the saddest conversation of all. Who cares which club is bigger? Want to talk about whose dad is bigger next?}

Agree0 Disagree0

Brilliant piece of business?
Southern is a decent player yes, but nothing particularly amazing {Ed003's Note - He is very good at breaking up play and winning the ball back,100% effort for 90 mins of every game and a proper nice bloke aswell.Huddersfield fans will be happy once they realise what his role is}

Agree0 Disagree0

Ha ha , didnt you take 14,000 to wembley ???? blackpool bucket and spade brigade took 30,000 ..
why do people from leeds ,sheffield halifax all holiday abroad , while huddersfield folk come to blackpool ?, to chomp are rock????
disagree with you ed 003 ... southern not that good thats y only 3k turning up for his testimonial???

maximus (oh and i suppose this wont get posted as well hey!) {Ed001's Note - damn right it's not! Oh wait, ooops!}

For all you West Ham fans out there, I would really like to hear what you have to say on
the striker situation.

As it stands West Ham have 6 recognised
strikers on the books. Maynard, Cole,
Picquionne, Baldock, Vaz te and Maiga.

According to rumour mill today Maynard
could well be on his way to Leeds.
Baldock may be going to Bristol City,
Burnley etc, Vaz Te apparently wants more money or he would be looking elsewhere and
Freddie is of to El Halil by all accounts.

This leaves Hammers 2 strikers??

Does no other West ham fan find this
situation and the lack of transfer activity
worrying??

Believable5 Unbelievable0

All the strikers we have now all need to be sold so we can raise money to get our 2 main targets which would cost about 12/14mil.... plus we need 2 defenders, 2 wingers/created midfields...

Agree2 Disagree0

25 Jul 2012 09:14:07
So if United win the league this season will they have "bought it" like we apparently did? I doubt United "fans" will agree. In other football news I'll be sad to see Portsmouth FC die. It's a shame clubs aren't run by the right people and that it's allowed to happen.

from looking at both lucas and oscar united seem to be getting the far greater player.both players are clearly fantastic prospects but lucas jus seems to ooze class.his skills and pace are jus incredible,he goes by defenders wit ease and has a bullet of a shot.reminds me of zidane but wit much more pace.as an asrenal fan im gutted to see he might be going to united cos i think he will terrorise PL defneces.great singing if united get him and for the 30 mill been quoted it seems like a steal considering his age and time to progress even further.looking forward to seeing him in the PL

Believable1 Unbelievable0

But not all hot prospects turn out to be so good. We bought Robinho and, as we'd not signed big players as such before, we got hardly anything out of him. We'll just wait and see.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lucas isnt coming im afraid.

Agree0 Disagree0

Neither will join United. Oscar will join Chelsea and Lucas will stay in Brazil.

Stoke chairman Peter Coates has repeated in the press that Stoke need to sell before they splash any serious cash. But it's not as bad as it appears.
If you manage to get hold of the full quote, what he actually says is that he wants to get rid of certain players from the wage bill in order to get certain players in.
If you know Stoke, it's all about the wage bill with Coates as that's what the books balance by and not the transfer fees which are merely one off expenditures.
