Any Ipswich town rumours ed?(2)(10)Just have a look at Leeds rumours because Jewell seems to only go after our targets!


JordLUFCWhy would we go for your targets we have ambition not a selling club to Norwich like you are. As for your targets think you would find if you could read that we asked about ward in jan will we get him who knowsIpswich also had contact with Green in January. Said on here that Warnock didn't disclose his targets, so how would we know, that's it somebody posts them on rumours sites!

A move from Ipswich for Huddersfeild's right back Jack Hunt hangs in the balance on whether Jewell get no1 target Ward.

And anyone who still beleives Ipswich are skint and have no money, we have a multi millionaire injecting money into the club and likely windfalls from the sell on clauses we have on people like trotter and rhodes.

We are likely to be able to pay a considerable amount more on wages than clubs like leeds (particularly with bates still there!)(4)(12)Joel Ward will be coming to Leeds dont worry about that :) Ipswich are a sunday league club compared to us and we can pay the wages, we just wont pay excessive wages and fees as we currently operate at a profit!

JordLUFCWell, we could match your wages, but as you say, Bates. You have to remember the appeal lies in the fans, stadium and his chum Pearce too. We are still in the front seat for the signing too, and he could sign tomorrow (Friday).
wallyYour multi-millionaire owner can only pump £6m in under the new laws.Jack Hunt is going to NorwichIpswich were had over £60m of debt and spent around 100% of turnover on wages in the last published accounts. The new FFP rules means they have to reduce costs not increase them and as a post above says there is limit of input of £6m this season for investors and £4m on lossesYou may have money, but will never eclipse a club as big as the mighty LEEDSLeeds not a big club. {Ed0y25's Note - {Ed025's Note - yes they are..This thread makes me smile. Our feeder club (Leeds) and our impoverished neighbours (Ipsch) squabbling over sub standard players and who has more money to spend on wages.

Marcus Evans is using Ipswich as nothing more than a marketing tool for his business empire, while Bates is using Leeds to line his pockets. Neither will be blowing big cash on anything this summer.

Meanwhile, Norwich, still with Lambert at the helm will be building our squad to take us to the next level and a top half finish next season.

Have fun scrapping it out in mid table anonymity once more.Here pops up the canary, lambert wants to leave your lot asap as you will get found out next year as nothing but over achieverscwith league 1 standard players!Why does he hide is he the elephant man and he has wasted 60 million on ipswich down so no more funds and u r over 100% on fair play so bye bye bulllard

Notts County to sign Marlon Pack for 200,000(8)(24)Apparently rotherham are already in talks with him thats what evans was doing at the cheltenham v torquay game on sunday to look at him and eunan okaneAs cheltenham could potentially get promoted next week i dont think hed stay in league two with a mid table team like rotherham!Too much money for 'lil' notts countyIf they go up he will stay with Cheltenham...at least until Christmas!! If they fail at Wembley he will join his best Mate Matt Ritchie at Swindon Town.Lil Notts County comes from a fan of which club? Not one Notts are after either. One good game on Sky, no one else has else heard of him!

Appleton at Pompey is keen on free transfer Owen. Owen will lower his wage demands, he wants to play first team football and is garenteed to do that with us.
Also new buyer to be announced tomorrow, exciting times again for us. PUP PPU(3)(60)No chance. Owen said he wont play in the championship. If he is forced outside the prem he will look abroad for a club, not go down divisions here. On BBC interview today. Sorry pompey. No Owen, no owner, no future.

COYRNo. Just no.Even though he said championship aint an option? oh right.Ye coz a player who can still play in prem would drop down 2 leagues n wat would u pay him with penuts pompy have no moneyDo pompey ever learn? No wonder these problems contiune-there own faultI dont know what less likely, pompey getting owen or announcing a buyer tomorrow...Pompey wont even be around long enough to see him playBiggest joke i heard all dayPay up Pompey, Pompey pay upIts not our fault. The football league fappt is rubbish. They let us have all the owners. We are being picked on because we have the best fans in all the leaguesWhat a dog nut he wont even go to championship team he said so in an interview on SSN as for being bought thought that was suppose to happen weeks ago cant have many weeks left now and youll be shut down for good hahaDont listen to that lot up the road no passionOwen said he does not want to play in the championship , Portsmouth play in league one now so it still could happen.Pay Up Pompey.Hook,line and sinkerThis is clearly a scummer posting this too make Pompey look stupid. Every pompey fan knows this we cant afford Owens big toe.I rally hope you do find a new owner who really does have some money, our rivalry is the best , you could not call Saints v Brighton a real Derby (even though they think it is!) Let us hope you have some good news soon. COYRI dunno if this is a Saints fan or not, to be honest there are actually pompey fans that are this delusional!Something is going to happen at Pompey, read the Pompey news MA is making plans for for next season. PUPNothing is going to happen at Pompey, he has to have a plan regardless.

17 May 2012 19:35:30
Newcastle are busy lining up replacements for Demba Ba and have FC Twente striker Luuk de Jong at the top of their shopping list.
Ba, who signed on a free transfer from West Ham last summer, has a £7m release clause in his contract and could quit St James' Park in the summer with both Chelsea and Arsenal interested in the striker.
Tottenham are also thought to be interested, although he will wait to see whether Harry Redknappā€™s side qualify for next seasonā€™s Champions League before making any firm decisions.
Should Chelsea win the Champions League final against Bayern Munich on Saturday, Spurs will drop into the Europa League, the same competition Newcastle will line up in August.

Others will also be tempted by the Senegal international, who scored 16 goals last season and was instrumental to Newcastleā€™s success and top five finish.
Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has not given up hope of persuading Ba to stay, but he is not convinced the 26-year-oldā€™s is as happy as he was on Tyneside.

The Magpies have scouted de Jong several times over the last two years and believe they will be able to get him for the £7m Baā€™s departure would bring.
The 21-year-old, who already has seven Dutch caps, scored 25 goals for Twente last season and manager Steve McClaren has admitted it will be hard for them to keep him.


(source Daily mail)(3)(13)De jong would cost a lot more than 7m

 


17 May 2012 19:26:09
Possible Stoke City signings
Olsson - blackburn - stoke - 4m
Defoe - spurs - stoke - 8-10m
Jarvis and Fletcher - wolves - stoke - 11m

Out
Kenwyne Jones
Ricardo fuller - free
Tom Soares - free
Danny Higginbotham
Danny Collins
Salif Diao - free(6)(18)£11m for Fletcher AND Jarvis ? In your dreams!I am a massive Wolves fan, and am conceded to the fact that at least 1 of those 2 will be leaving, but not for as little as that price, 11 mil probably wouldnt buy fletcher alone...Fletcher is turning sunderland down so hell be staying at wolves but you may get jarvis but he also loves the club
aaron m daviesI love it when someone says 'he loves the club' on here :-) How many times do we read it ? Jarvis will be away as soon as a decent offer lands his way.Wolves have said to stoke that 20mill is needed to sign both

 


17 May 2012 19:24:48
Saints 2 sign every1 because they hav loads of money and will there4 win the prem league by default as other teams won't have players to make a team. This counts to every team in the world! Because we are so awesome.(17)(25)WOW...Seriously people are obsessed with taking the mick out of Saints! Seems like Pompey fans dont have much else to do.Get a life.Made me laugh. They do think they are better than they actually areNo they dont, they are just excited about the prospect of prem football, give them a breakAs a Canaries Supporter congrats to the Saints for achieving a second straight promotion to Premier League to repeat what we achieved last season.
A good lesson for all promoted clubs is what Swansea and Norwich achieved this season using the same squad with 4/5 good quality young players added to squad, keeping the togetherness and team spirit that got both clubs promoted.
The alternative was QPR, splashing big cash on fee's and wages and in some cases players toward the end of their careers with massive inflated ego's about how good they actually are Barton, Zamora, Bothroyd, Wright Phillips etc , and they barely survived.Obviously written by a skate or a 12 year old who only goes to watch once a year!!If saints are so good why didnt they storm the championship? lucky to finish 2nd see you next season see if you can handle it with the big boys.Thank you canaries supporter.

It's easy to misconstrue immature over-exuberance on a football forum for arrogance. No one here is arrogant, most people just excited to be back in the prem, and Norwich and Swansea have allowed some to dream big, no need to get all worked up and cry about it, it's just a rumour website.

 


17 May 2012 19:23:55

Richie De Leat who signed for Leicester turned down a move to Charlton in order to move to Man City of the Championship(17)(15)Was not impressed with him while on loan at Norwich, hes quick but prone to mistakes and injuries.Man city of the championship? lol lol lol lol...your tinpot, tinpot i tell youHow can you be the man city of the championship - they spent a fortune and won something - you spent a fortune and came 9th.It took man city 3 years, so get your facts rightJudging by Leicester's showing this season it's gunna take a helluva lot longer then 3 years for them to win something. Didn't Matt Mills join you for premiership football?...LOLThere are lots of similarities with the blue half of Manchester for Leicester. Long established club, play in blue, backed by lots of foreign money with no long term interest in our game, a new stadium and of course obnoxious up their own dirt box supporters.

 


17 May 2012 18:45:25
Cardiff are understood to be interested in Shrewsbury striker James Collins. Malky Mackay will first need to check with Watford manager Sean Dyce to make sure he is one of Watford's top transfer targets before making an offer.(14)(6)So true....can we stop the rumours on here in case he has a look. Note to Malky: WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN ANYONE!You Watford fans still bitter!? Move on you had a decent season so just look forward to next season. Just move on!

17 May 2012 18:24:22
I have it on good authority from a friend who works at the etihad that Southampton have enquired about Adam Johnson and are currently the front runners. It is understood that Johnson is keen to leave MFC in the midst of him being overlooked for the Euros.(17)(18)You're welcome to Johnson. Been relegated 2 seasons running with different teams haha so u will probably get relegated too!Yeah right, you can pay the sort of wages he is currently getting at Man City and he ain't going to drop his salary level, this rumour is in your imagination I thinkI don't think we'll get ADAM Johnson realistically but this person above me seems to be talking about ROGER Johnson who is not called adam and adam has not been relegated twiceNah, I've heard he wants to leave us too. Not sure he'd go to saints but from what I hear they would be able to pay him. He hasnt done much for us this season, let him go!Could get him cheap and if he was guaranteed first team football I could see him being prepared to take a wage drop. It would still push Saints wage budget however, so it will be interesting to see if either party are prepared to give in.

Personally I'd like him at Saints. I know he hasn't done much for City but he is a quality player and would be solid in the prem. We're not looking for world beaters, just solid players to keep us moving forward. :)Few premiership teams could match his arab wages - certainly not southamptonHe will be coming home to sunderlandAdam Johnson is signing for Sunderland. He still has house at Easington from when he played for Boro. However...this deal depends on the asking price in comparison to Aiden Mcgeady at Spartak. O'Neill values them both at similar levels- He worked with Mgeady at Celtic but Johnson is younger.As a saints fan this rumour is ridiculous ! 1. We won't pay his wages 2. He's just won the premier league with city 3. Why would he come to a club who's just got promoted when he will be playing champions league football AGAIN , 4. People saying he doesn't play any games for city , he's played 38 games goals 9 assist 7 I think that's enough to say you'veade a contribution to the team . So in my opinion is saints fans have got to be more realistic as much as I would love him I can't see it happening

 


17 May 2012 18:23:10
Brighton are close to agreeing a cut price deal for Norwich City's Andrew Crofts(14)(5)Is Bridcutt part of the deal?Will not be cut price.He will cost u 750.000 + always plays 4 walesNot cut pricedCrofts would be great signing with bridcutt part of the deal as crofts is far the complete player than bridcutt, as for cost of him he wont be too much as he is now falling down the pecking order at norwich and he is keen to get 1st team football, hopefully at the amex :)

 


17 May 2012 18:20:43
Wigan will turn to Gus Poyet to be next manager when Martinez goes to Liverpool.(23)(7)If he goes....The grass isn't always greener. Liverpool fans aren't patient enough and he needs time.

 


17 May 2012 18:17:19
Wigan give Liverpool permission to talk to Roberto Martinez about the vacant managers position
Source: Wigan chairman speaking live on Sky Sports News(20)(3)What a disaster that would be,kick and rush,liverpool fans dont want that,is that the yanks ambition god help usBy looks of things you dont watch wigan very often we dont play kick and rush we played big teams off the park in last few games oh yeah didnt we beat liverpool 2-1 at anfield so come back with better info you deluded muppetKick and Rush ? That would be Stoke not Wigan, Wigan play some of the best football in the league and a lot better than Liverpool.

 


17 May 2012 18:14:05
Michael Owen to Stoke?(21)(18)Far too short to play for StokeAnother has been !!!Would be a good signing for a club like stoke but aren't they already very very saturated with forwards?

Off the top of my head...
Crouch
K Jones
Walters
Jerome
Fuller

I'm not an expert on stokes transfers but surely they would have to shift a few of these before they started bringing in more forwards, particularly ones on Owen's wages?
FullerFuller, Jones and Jerome are all possibly going. Fuller out of contract, Jones and Jerome out of favour.Actually there is truth in this. Pulis a huge Owen fan

Fuller and Jones are nailed on to leave

 


17 May 2012 18:14:04
Both Aaron Wilbraham and Zak Whitbread are set to be offered a contract by Milwall. In saying this both players are attracting interest from numerous championship clubs and will probably wait to see what sorts them best.(7)(10)Rumour is that Zak has been offered a deal from Sunderland and Wilby could go to Watford.Whitbread does have a few premiership teams after him tooThey have not been released by Norwich yet, and Whitbread said he would love to stay at Norwich , so hang on a minute. {Ed013's Note - Check SSN, it says it on there that they are released}Zak is signing for southamptonMy mistake I should have read NCFC homesite first, quite surprised Whitbread has been released, althoiugh injury prone he's a half decent defender, so Lambert must have another centre half on his radar...

 


17 May 2012 18:13:50
Wigan have given permission for Liverpool to talk with Martinez - Skysports............My only question what sort of personnel would he attract(12)(3)

17 May 2012 17:44:39
As a huge Spurs fan it kills me to say it but we haven't got the money to buy Hunterlaar, Hulk ect ect.. WAKE UP! Nothing more than paper talk. We will do what we always do and that's buy young talent from the ages 18 to 24 priced around 15 million max on one player (because we dont have 30 million to spend on one player) and make them into first
classy established premier league players.(8)(7)And then sell them ;)Well saidAnd forever be in Arsenal's shadow.

Cheltenham are talking to Garry Warren and Sam Foley from Newport County.(2)(5)

 


17 May 2012 17:38:26
owen will sign for a club around the cheshire area due to his interest in horses etc, and doesnt want to move. so i would expect him to sign for stoke maybe, or another club around the midlands maybe villa.(13)(3)If you think owen can walk into any club you are deluded,he will get a pay as you play deal of some mug.I think at this stage Owen will take any offer at a prem club. He has high wages, injury doubts and is on the old side. His horse interests can be adopted all round the country so it won't be a problem. But getting an interested prem club might be the barrier.Owen is set to retire after only making 52 appearances in three seasons at united and will not sign for anyone unless they r challenging for major honours in the league or Europe, and out of these teams who would be willing to sign him??
No oneI have it from a reliable source from stoke who states that owen will be wearing red and white of stoke next season on pay as you play deal, pulis is a huge owen fan and would have signed for stoke if utd hadnt have give him a contract now he wants to stay in the area of cheshire, so stoke is an ideal club for him at this the very near end of his career.

 


17 May 2012 17:38:05

reading want dobbie from swansea who is currently on loan to blackpool and they are planning a 1million bid(17)(16)Reading want a proven striker at the top level, not one that didn't cut it and is alright in the Championship.Dobbie isn't really a striker mate. Reading aren't going to buy him instead of a striker. I'm a Saints fan so have followed you relatively closely this season and you need an out and out goalscorer. If Reading are interested in Dobbie it will be as an attacking, creative player not a goalscorer.

Can see them signing Dobbie and a goalscorer since their defence is relatively solid and they just need a few creative and attacking players.Reading will get chamakh

Reading are flush with top keepers. Federici is the clear number one. McCarthy is Eng U21 and tipped to play for the full national side in the future, and then they have Mikkel Anderson who is also highly rated and looking for a season loan in the Championship next season.Subs bench, yeah he will go for that I think not !!!Federici is to good for a sub keeper

I would think he would like to stay up north.He has already said he won't go to the Championship so Brighton won't happen. Don't think it will be Saints either though.

Fulham look placed to sign Jordan Rhodes from Huddersfield for a sum of around £3.5m

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

After we turned down 6m in Jan? Don't be daft, he's going to Newcastle United IF we stay in league One for 6m plus Nile Ranger, he'll stay to try lead us to the Prem otherwise(10)(21)6m stop living in dreamland if you got 3.5m for him that is an amazing price for someone who is unproven at prem level, he will leave if you dont get promoted and i guarantee it will be for much less than 6mSo £6m plus Nile Ranger values him at about £8.5m. Just under what Arsenal paid for Podolski, the German international and regular scorer in the Bundesliga. As a fan of a club who puts over the top valuations on players, dont ever moan again about how poor the national side is because we have no young players coming through. Stupid prices for a 3rd Division player is what forces clubs to go overseas for their players.I am a newcastle fan from Scotland and watch him a lot and i would say that he is worth that! he is quick, strong and knows where the goal is!Didn't arsenal pay £10 million for chamberlin an unproven at a higher level, league 1 Southampton player last year. Wonder how he's doing.Noone bidded for him in january, only west ham enquired in which you said 4m+ but your valuation has risen now but you stil over rate him, he is only another version of beckford, great for leeds in league 1 scoring like 35 goals then rubbish in the prem for everton and average in champ for leicester, and beckford is better thsn rhodes so dont get your hopes up! 3m max! {Ed013's Note - Beckford didn't do too bad for Everton with a return of 10 goals when he was a sub most of the time}Hes going for 3.5 so stop thinking hes worth more than he actually isWouldn't pay more than 3.5m for unproven 3rd tier player. Toonlad9There are a few clubs trying to get him including Norwich, but stop talking nonsense about £6M, you quote you turned down 6M in January what evidence are are you using - Newspapers? - the reality is that he's likely to go for around £3+ add on's, and even that amount is a major gamble for any premier club because there is always a doubt that he will not be able make the step up to that level.

Newly promoted Reading are after Palace duo John Parr and Mile Jedinak after some impressive performances for the Eagles last season(4)(20)As a Reading fan i can safely say that Parr will not want to come to Reading after the treatment he got off the crowd for getting Roberts sent off last month!Parr really impressed McDermott, so wouldn't rubbish that one yet.£10 million and Parish might consider it, otherwise jog on

Barnsley are set to steal Brighton captain Gordon Greer for £700,000.(11)(24)No they aren't Barnsley had a bid reject as there is no reason we would sell our captain to a club like Barnsley, and there is no reason Greer would want to take a backwards step to a club who will be in a relegation battleBrighton is the wrong club as they have no quality players or no money theres only one back step and thats brightonWhy make comments about something you know nothing about? you're clearly clueless. Vicente? Buckley? Lua Lua? Bridcutt? Calderon? the list goes on they're all quality. As for the money, we have a rich chairman who loves the club. If you're a Barnsley fan then that statement is hilarious!Why would Greer want to join a relegation dodging team when he could play for a team that's going to fighting for a top 6 finish next season...Oh dear, I presume you support palace, as only a palace fan could be so deluded. No money? That's why we have a £93 million stadium that has just been named the best new venue in the world. We have plenty of money. And ambition. And fans (we can actually fill our ground). And good players.

Mustapha Dumbuya to Crystal Palace is a done deal and will be announced next month.

Palace have had a bid for Nick Powell rejected by Crewe, it is though that they value him at around £750,000, way more than Palace offered.

Another done deal for Palace is the season long loan signing of a Manchester United youngster. It is unknown who but if reports are to be believed then it will be Will Keane.

After having a bid of £500,000 for Crawley Town's Kyle McFadzean rejected last week it is believed that Palace will now up their offer to £700,000 to see whether new manager Sean O'Driscoll will be tempted to sell.(4)(10)Nick powel will go for way more than 750,000 more like 3 million3 million lol! you live in a dream worldNick Powell is one of the hottest properties and is destined for better things. Crewe have sold a lot worse players for a lot more money than £750k. Can't see this happenning when scouts from the Prem are watchinhg his every move.Palace are after Clayton not Powell

 


17 May 2012 14:58:03
Charlton will look to bolster their squad and challenge Bradley Wright-Phillips for his starting place with the addition of Sam Baldock, providing West Ham get promoted.

The youngster, who arrived for an undisclosed fee last summer (thought to be around 1.5m) has failed to adapt to the Iron's current system and has found himself rooted to the bench most games.

With Chris Powell and the Addicks team recently coming back from their holiday in Vegas, the manager sees now as a perfect time to recruit Baldock, who sees The Valley as the perfect place for first team football and no need to a huge relocation.(9)(7)We may loan him out if we get promoted dont think he would be soldThis would be against Charlton's transfer policy and simply will not happen unless he is sold to Charlton. Charlton dont have pots of money to throw at up and coming players esp when we have our own forwards coming through.

Michael Owen is a target for at least 10 clubs. Its believed that 2 sides from the MLS have been in touch, as well as 1 from the Australian A league. My sources also tell me that a far eastern club have contacted Owen's agent. The rest of the teams in for the experienced striker are English.

Stoke City are also preparing to bid £7m for the Derby duo John Brayford and Jeff Hendrick. But with both players being first teamers the Rams could hold out for £9m.(12)(9)7 mil? Our best players but i'd snap your fingers off!

 


17 May 2012 14:53:37
Michael Jacobs looks set to snub Derby County and sign for Watford for £400,000. The Rams will now discuss whether to make a bid for Burnley striker/winger Martin Paterson. The Rams would be prepared to bid £350,000 for the injury prone player.(6)(16)Paterson would not leave Burnley for 350,000.Nope. He's in talks with Derby. Its close between Bristol City and Derby. Watford no where near.Nope. Jacobs close to joining Derby, Clough can confirmIm not a derby fan but why would anyone snub a team for watford LOLOLOLJacobs close to joining ramsBurnley turned down 2.5m in the summer .. 350,000 ....... good one.We finished higher in the table, why wouldn't he want to come to an up and coming team where he'd play? Who are Derby anyway?Also ex watford manager aidy boothroyd is northampton manager so may put in a good word for us. also watford hav a track record of giving young players a chance. he d b guaranteed first team football aswelMate you finished above us on goals scored... A word in? What you rather have? A "word in" or more money? Play infront of 14000 people a week in a falling apart stadium or 28000 in a big stadium. Who are Derby? Who are Watford? Remind how many times tiny Watford have won the first division? And its not exactly like you can out wage us can you xD. I know people and his move will completed very soon (to derby).He would be guarenteed first team football at Derby. Cloughs said we need a rw and he'd slot in perfectly. Cloughs also hinted the deal is very close. Who are watford, st ground, no fans, no history, and arguably take the worst away followings in the divison XDDDDDerby fans were absolutly awful when we went there, not getting behnd their team once during the whole game. and seeing as you were in the top half of the table at the beggining of the season and we were in the bottom 3 it makes it all tht more impressive that you got beaten by 'tiny' watford! stop living in the past derby fans. at least watford don't hav the lowest points total for a premier league side ever! real players choose a side for enjoying to play rather than more money. he wouldn't still be at northampton if he cared much about money. if your just gonna throw money at everything i hope you lot go the way of portsmouth. he might well go to derby but 'tiny' watford still have a chance.What are you on about? We have a bottom 6 club wage budget yet we're not. You say lowest points total but then say stop talking about the past? Wow contradicting yourself much. I can guarentee we'll finish higher. We've got no debt at all so how can we go the way of Pompey. Face it, Jacobs is coming to us and you're just jealous. FACT. Look on ssnWatford are small tiny has been club. Never do anything. Definite relegation candedates next term.Beaten? What about on the second game when we beat you? You beat us and it was deserved. Jacobs will go to Derby im afraid. I like Watford in all fairnessMate we've got no chance with jacobs. Northampton offered him 2k a week and we cant afford that. Bad times for Watford im afriad. Can see us selling some big players this summer as well. Derby fans are so annoying thoughWatford dont need to sell so i dont get where you re getting that infomation from. any sales will be for the best interests of the club and are too good to turn down. if we needed money we would have sold marriappa last january. we re always tipped as relegation candidates, making it all the better when we continuously beat teams like derby. have you even thought tht sky sports news could be wrong? they do report a lot of rumours as dead certs. it is most likely that he will go to derby, but nothing has been signed yet so no need to get so smug. if watford are a 'never do anything' club, wat does tht make derby then? both teams aren't going to win anything soon but i don't get why derby fans are acting all high and mighty

Newcastle United info.
Looking at Adam Clayton (Leeds) replacement for Danny Guthrie if leaves in summer good young centre mid, excellent squaddie/backup
Aidy White also at Leeds potential move, looks like losing Danny Simpson, allowing santon back to right back and Aidy white to left. lots of pace, should suit prem league. But Wigan also keen. ( suit there wing back style)
Jacob Butterfield another move
And finally looking for another winger to provide for Cisse and Demba with pace (Jonas losing his pace), potentially Jarvis in.(11)(9)White not as good as people thinkWarning from a Leeds fan. White has got potential and bags of pace as mentioned BUT his final ball can be poor and decision making can be frustrating. Hope we can thrash out a deal with him but if he decides to leave, I hope he joins Newcastle. Great fans and a good manager.This is a bit of the mark, simpson will leave as newcastle wont risk losing players for nothing if he doesnt agree a deal hell be sold however santon will stay at left back because guttierrez is better at protecting a defence than ben arfa also newcastle will sign matt debuchy from lille for 6 million before the euros start with sagna injured he is frances number 1 rb; source; just ask ed1 more thing newcastle wont sign a winger they have marveaux, obertan, guttierez, ben arfa, ferguson, sammy ambeobi, and they currently operate a 4-3-3 formation with ba or cisse playing on left

As a big tottenham fan Id like to see levy being in jan vertonghen,klass-huntelaar,sniedjer,adebayor on loan again??,i see luka modric is causing a upset again let's sell him now and get the 40 plus mil for him. Now ship out Saha,nelson, and sell Bentley 7mil, dos santos 6mil,bassong 6mil,Defoe 10mil???,I see nani wants out of united maybe spurs and united may do a deal between nani and modric plus united give us cash lol coyyyssssssss(8)(17)£7m for Bentley, are you sure? He has failed to hold down a spot anywhere and the only way to move him on is on a free.Bentley 7m are you insane?I'm sure you would like to see this, but it won't happen. Your valuations are way off (£7 million for Bentley?!) and although Spurs are undoubtedly a big club Sneijder effectively has his choice of clubs. He won't come to you. Also, with financial fair play rules on the horizon Adebayor will be sold, not loaned out.7mil bentley, dos santos and bassong 6mil . what are you smoking ?Bentley £7m....seriously.If Nani leaves United, it won't be for Tottenham.Sorry I meant to put 4 mil for Bentley lol {Ed013's Note - Spurs will let him go on a free to get rid of his wage}Most will go for hardly anything as you got no money and want the wage structure down. Sneider wants champions league football every year not once in a blue moon....I also think these prices are unrealistic, because the transfer market is in a major slump that is being disguised by a just handful of 'money no object' clubs. If they are not in the hunt for a player then the price he can command is likely to be much less than most fans think he is worth.

From that perspective it is not only Bentley that might be overpriced, but all these players.

Spurs sold Defoe for £6m when he was 4 years younger than he is now, so I don't see anyone paying more than that for someone that will be 30 in October.

Giovani has disappeared off everybody's radar and it is hugely unlikely that he will attract more than a nominal fee and certainly no more than the £4m he cost.

Bassong is a much better player than most Spurs fans recognise, but he is not absolutely top class and in the current market £6m is probably more than anyone that might want him could afford to pay.

That leaves Modric. £40m may be what Levy wants for him, but will anyone pay it? It is all down to whether Chelsea still want him. United are obviously keen too, but I see no signs that the cash-strapped Glazers can pay anything like that money unless it includes a player exchange in which the United player is similarly over-priced.

By the way, a wish or a dream is not a rumour.
KM7 million for bentley, really.Defoe is on a free transfer! And most likely to join new boys readingMay want to review your values for a start...Spurs would not pay Sjneiders wages never mind the fee he would command...Adebayor is still a struggle for them at the minuteIm a big tottenham fan and your and embarrassment.

Alright Ed.

Want to disprove/prove some Fulham rumors i have heard over the last couple of days.

Firstly, i have heard that Dembele is in talks with spurs and that a part exchange deal is being thrashed out? Any confirmation?

I have also heard that we are leading the pack to sign Rhodes from Huddersfield, how close actually are we?

We were also interested in Narsingh, Assaidi and Chadli, the talk of this seems to have gone quiet, any news?

Also, Dempseys future has been in the balance a while, but recently talk has completely died down, is this due to no interest, or are clubs in negotiation?

Cheers.(2)(6)About half of the clubs in the Premiership are linked with Jordan Rhodes at the moment. Nothing is going to happen there until after their playoff final

He'd be a good signingExcept Sharp was good at Scunny before that, as far as I can remember Eastwood scored a free kick vs Man U. That was it!Sharp was the 'forgotten man' after leaving Scunny and him and Eastwood came joint top scorers in League 1 at some stageWell he couldnt hit a barn yard door when he played for wolves

Brentford are due to sign ex reading winger tomasz cywka who didnt feature much in their promotion pushing season and is tempted by the thought of constant first team football(9)(4)Watford and Blackburn head the que for him. He wont drop a level.He'll be playing in the championship or back in Poland im afraid. he was about to sign for a polish team before reading signed him

Gary madine aka goal machine could be on his way to sheff utd with porter goin the other way(4)(20)Dont know why these blunts make up these rumours. Most unlikely scenario ever. Porter = pap. Madine = goals. Madine likes big crowds and champ football not some toytown outfit with no fansOn his way to NorwichWouldn't exactly say he was a goal machine. Only 18 in league. There are others who have scored plenty more!

Southampton's Jason Puncheon has held talks with both South London clubs Crystal Palace and Charlton Athletic over a possible move.

He favours Crystal Palace according to my source.(16)(8)So he'd rather play for a team with less money than charlton, worse players and manager and facilities, a worse fanbase and stadium and palace will be fighting for survival and charlton will be pushing for playoffs because i know potential signings which look promising!And people say southamptons fans are arrogant. charlton just got promoted from league one i wouldnt assume that they are going to dominate if i were youI'll assume that we'll finish above Palace, if you want to call that arrogant it's up to you.He is in a word, TROUBLE. so no thanks, he might want to come to Palace but we want player who share the dream and not wannabee big time charliesPipe down charlton, beating league 1 fodder for the last few seasons means nothing

Vardy of Fleetwood to leicester

QPR have a strong interest in Wayne Bridge(11)(18)Talking rubbish. george baldock is at MK DONS.Leeds would never sign Kitson and Ward is still deciding where to goThe only relible sauce you have comes in a bottleDo you mean SAM Baldock. Who signed for West Ham and is not still at MK Dons.Your posts are definitely relible. They are certainly not reliable.George Baldock plays for Milton Keynes. His brother Sam plays for Wet Spam. As for the rest, rubbish

news coming from swansea is that they are preparing a 2.5m plus lita or moore for marvin emnes and they are also said to be interested in wolves duo jarvis and fletcher but fletcher seems to be priced abit to high for the swans so only jarvis could sign. also interested in 3 defenders ( 2 cb and 1 lb) 2 midfilders ( sigurdsson or goossens, and someone with muscle and height) and 2 strikers ( lacina traore, owen , simon cox, sturridge) all names been throw around at the liberty stadium ! WATCH THIS SPACE!(8)(14)Have Swansea got ten million budget ? because that is what Wolves want for Jarvis and priced Flectcher the same.Jarvis to Swansea-now that is funny.Swansea can't afford The Sig.

Crystal Palace will announce 5 signings by mid june they are:

Joel Ward
Mustapha Dumbuya
Aleksandar Tunchev
Will Keane-Loan
Jamie Proctor

They also looking at:

Simon Church
Nick Powell
Alex Clayton
Lee Barnard
George Boyd
Luke Freeman
George Baldock
Henri Lansbury(3)(22)Either Alex Clayton has slipped under my radar, or you are mistaking 'Adam' or 'Max' Clayton of Leeds and Crewe respectively, and I doubt you'll sign either of them.
wallyAdam Clayton is off to BurnleyAdam Clayton ?? what the U2 guitarist? Do you mean Max Clayton and surely you mean Sam Baldock of West Ham and not his brother George. Christ i hope your homework is better than your rumours.Actually sam baldock's younger brother george is still at MK dons and is a decent prospect. not my post btw!

Some interesting news from Stoke this morning

The Defoe/Huth deal is fairly common knowledge within football circles at the moment so hardly breaking news but looks very likely.

Fuller has not been offered the 3 year deal he wanted and will leave the club in June. Sunderland and Wigan have shown an interest.

Another player to interest Sunderland is Kenwyne Jones a previous long term target of O'Neill at Villa. QPR also keen on the Trinidad striker who looks certain to leave.

Stoke are rumoured strongly to be one of several clubs monitoring Michael Owen - they did make an approach when he joined Man U

Joey Barton is another player that Stoke are keeping tabs on. Pulis again tried to sign him previously.

Matt Jarvis as reported in several media sources looks certain to be Stoke's first signing.

Expect a lot of fringe players to leave the Britannia in the coming weeks.

Martin Olsson as reported previously is interesting the Potters as is Blackburn's Jake Kean as Thomas Sorensen could be set to leave.(6)(7)Spurs have tied up Vertonghen so they won't be going after Huth. Whether Defoe would move to Stoke is another issue, I think he is looking to moveStoke are skint... no chance unless they sell before they buy...I have heard the Kenwyne Jones back to Sunderland rumour is pretty strong. His kids are still at a private school in Durham and he thinks he has unfinished business there. He never wanted to leave!Stoke are skint........:-) Stoke are one of the few solvent clubs in the Prem you fool with millions behind them. Coates has said the club need to shift out the dead wood before new players come in which only makes sense. Defoe agreed a loan move to Stoke in Jan btw

 


17 May 2012 12:26:13
with the news of Owen not being given a new contract with man united, swansea city have shown intrest if the player takes a wage cut. It seems the Owen would be intrested to joining a lower level premiership club.(4)(10)I like the team they have done very well and for all the fans sakes i hope this doesn't happen. owen will cause a buzz at first but he's just not got it and more and will milk the life out of the club with his wages just like at newcastle"It seems the Owen would be intrested to joining a lower level premiership club."............... - as long as he isn't expected to play any football

 


17 May 2012 12:22:37
Stuart Beavon wants to stay at Wycombe Wanderers and see out his contract. At the awards dinner - within his speech he stated "He is happy at Wycombe and sees no reason to leave".(3)(5)Yes. because at the clubs awards dinner he is not going to stand up and say "im unhappy here and can't wait to leave" is he?

 


17 May 2012 12:07:32
Southampton looking to complete moves for Ipswich midfielder Liam Trotter and Barnsley midfielder Jacob Butterfield to continue their policy of signing young English players performing well in the Championship.(10)(10)Errrrrr, do ya research, Trotter is at Millwall and has been for some time!!Liam trotter is a millwall player not ipswichPretty sure trotter plays for millwall?For a start, Trotter plays for MillwallBy all means pay us money for Trotter but we sold him to Millwall a few seasons back.

Reading FC are set to make an 'audacious' bid for Jermain Defoe. Source - Reading Chronicle
IMO it's not that audacious. With his desire for 1st team football, wages not being a problem with the new takeover, also the love he has for London, the short distance from Reading makes the bid a lot more plausible.(12)(10)It is audacious .. very. Reading have 0% chance of signing him. he cost a few bob and is on 50kAll depends on wages. Reading have spoken to Jnr Hoilett's agent about his free transfer BUT wages are a problem.

I would expect the same with Defoe.

Credit to Reading tho, they're prepared to spend but on the right type of player. I think they'll do OK next season.Ok, why is it that saints fans are told to get real when saying ridiculous things but it is credit to reading?? they are being linked with as many players and as stupid signings!

 


17 May 2012 11:35:27
millwall are going to make a double bid for ryan hall and also bilel moshni of southend £500,000 is what they want to pay for the 2, southend holding out for more though. also dont be surprised if millwall sign loick pires from welling joe gallen been 2 watch him couple times now and will be very keen on going to the den for next to nothing(5)(2)Hall = 800k mohsni = 1mill. try again

Fulham look placed to sign Jordan Rhodes from Huddersfield for a sum of around £3.5m(5)(20)So thats why they reportedly turned down offers of £6 million in the last transfer window, so fulham cud buy him for £3.5mill. think that smog's gone to ya headJordan Rhodes is worth much more than 3.5 milions

 


17 May 2012 11:31:12
David Buchanen has today signed a 2 year contract extension with Tranmere. Rovers player of the season had attracted interest from a number of other clubs however has decided to pledge his future to the Wirral club. This means only 1 player who was out of contract at the club has failed to resign meaning Tranmeres defence, one of the meanest in L1 last campaign, will be unchanged next season.(3)(2)

Niel Warnock refused to comment on Michael Owen joining Leeds next season. Interesting. Leeds fans do we want Owen?(8)(22)Owen on ssn as i type saying he will not drop down to championshipNo he wont be joining Leeds, he is quoted as saying "the championship will not be an option" look practically anywhere on the internet and this is what he has said. Plus you all keep forgetting that you're not a big club anymore...Haha as if you had the money to pay him for being constantly injuredHe possibly refused to comment becasue he didnt think it was worth denying such nonsense. So after nearly going bust and dropping down to League 1, because of paying silly wages, Leeds would go down the same route again would they?No chance.Can't see it. We can't afford 50k a week and it wouldnt be worth it anyway.

They could do worse - he's certainly a better bet than that plonker Andre Villas-Boas who is apparently favourite.(4)(18)That plonker won the quadruple in portugal, and was on the way to transforming an ageing Chelsea team. Who do Liverpool think they are? Let's get pep or Jose why on earth would they go to Liverpool, stop living in the past

with Owen now a free agent anyone with decent stables nearby will be trying to sign him , would like to see him at saints to add a bit of premier quality to the squad(3)(14)Owen will be joining Bristol CityStop it. seriously, no. not what we need at all. from a southampton SEASON TICKET HOLDER.I agree with the above, as another saints season ticket holder i really dont want Owen.
Wages too high, injured too often.
There are much better options available.As a squad member if pay as you play deal would be good signing still only 32 an better than barny or connolly

about joining them in the Prem. Can't see him wanting to join Brighton in League 1.Micheal owen has had possibly 1 of the most progressive careers in footballerAgree,so he won't be interested in joining

QPR not a bigger club than Saints in any way shape or form. {Ed025's Note - oh yes they are..(19)(19)Bloody hell what does it matter whos bigger than who? (Insert your own jokes here)...What matters is how they perform next season in the Premier League!Oh no they're not.
Sorry Ed,just had to.Ed i am not a Southampton fan, what are your reason for thinking QPR are a bigger club then Southampton {Ed001's Note - I think he means in terms of money to spend, certainly can't see any other measure they could be considered bigger. Southampton have a bigger fanbase for sure.}No, i agree, they arent... saint have bigger stadium much better facilities and a larger fanbase. qpr a smaller team in london. wish people would stop putting saints down, just because they got relegated... so are west ham, leicester, leeds nottingham forest, newcastle (2 yrs ago) and the like all small clubs now? i cannot condone all of theses southampton fans who are saying we will sign every player, but it is to do with the excitement. lets face it two seasons ago we were playing hartlepool and dagenam and redbridge. this season we are playing arsenal, city and united!! Stop putting saints down and saints fans if you want to be arrogant do it on a saints forumFrom a neutral Southampton are bigger than qpr, there stadium is bigger and bigger fan base, been in prem more times and have a great youth system with the likes of Walcott,bale,chamberlain.
(Sunderland Fan)CorrectSoton have much bigger fan base, better stadium, buckets of cash, brand new state of art training facility, one of best youth set-up's around, play better football and don't have idiots like Barton playing for them. No contest.Southampton do have the bigger stadium (and newer), the more fans (although the majority on here appear to be dolts) and the greater history and tradition. QPR, however, have the wealthier owners, in particular Mittal, and whatever Saints fans may think, a far superior squad and manager. Tough one that, actually.I am a Saints fan, does it really matter who is the bigger club its about how the team is proforming at the current time isnt it. The way i see it if you are in the Premiere league getting the rewards the Premiereship brings then you got to be considered a big club. The likes of Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday in my opinion are big clubs but all the time they are not in the Prem they will not be considered a bigger club then any team that is in the prem. LOL i am confusing my self i will shut up.Saints bigger club FACT. Ed you are clueless! {Ed001's Note - he is an Everton fan!}Saints fan here - No doubt QPR have more money, that Mittal guy is seriously loaded! Saints owners are around £3Bn +...however that doesnt mean all that money will be used on the football club. I agree with the guy above, if your in the Premier League your a big club..both QPR and Saints are big clubs and both teams have different reasons why.Apart from having rich owners, QPR are probably the smallest club in the Prem along with Wigan.

Powell is a talent but nowhere near good enough for the Prem.Powells gone to united for 4mill, over the 4 times weve played crewe this season powell has done very little to merit a 250k transfer however

Southampton are interested on signing veteran Neil Harris for a fee of 1 million pounds. The classy finisher said this would be a excellent signing because he would be able to prove himself at the highest-level. He is believed to be the highest paid player if he was to join Southampton, with a wage of £60,000 per week.(13)(25)From Southend of League 2 at his age, really likely if he wasnt good enough for MillwallAre you demented Neil Harris is too old and at the end of his career and no way will Saints pay 60k to anyone and im not a Saints fan. You must have had a weird dream last night to come out with that rubbish.If this is true,it would be a great finale for a great pro!good luck neil!always a lion!coyl!Good luck to him if true!Would be an excellent signing - if we were still in 1998Excellent player, you could do a lot worse, but even as a fan which i am i think this may be a step to far, but if any one deserves a go in the top flight it would be harris.

Adebayo Akinfenwa is no where near worth £500,000.

David James will either retire in the interim or go into goalkeeping coaching.

The Emile Heskey rumour I've heard too. Heard he wants to come in ideally as a player/coach.(7)(4)Wht do people keep going on about Akinfenwa the guy is overweight.slow is a L2 player at best and only moves in a 5 yard radius. No way would he be worth 500k you are having a laugh 100k maximum.Can you imagine Heskey as a coach? There'd be a generation of strikers who can't score and like trying to hit the corner flag!Turner wouldn't never sign calamity James & Akinfenwa isn't even worth £50 never mind £500,000! Shrewsbury couldn't afford Heskey's wages either.

 


17 May 2012 09:56:41
A.V.B to take over at Liverpool, he will be given in the region of £100 million to spend and allowed to keep the majority of any transfer fees recouped. Fenway Group will insist on a successfull season becuase they will not bank role another season with as much money otherwise.(4)(13)I think this would be a great move by Liverpool. We need a young but proven manager to be given a chance unlike the players at Chelsea who made his time a nightmare, we have a squad who will listen and learn from him. Would also attract Porto or ex-Porto players to the club, Pereira, Falcao, Rolando or Hulk would be great signings.

Several bits of Palace gossip today:

Crystal Palace, Leeds and Ipswich target Joel Ward is expected to sign for the Eagles by the weekend.

Palace are also set to sign an unnamed Manchester United youngster on a year's loan with a view to a permanent move.

Palace have also agreed a deal for Darķo Cvitanich. It is expected he will complete a permanent switch in June

Lewis Price is to join MK Dons on a season long loan.

Palace have also made a bid of £100,000 for Kaizer Chief's Siphiwe Tshabalala. Palace could have got him for free in January as his contract was due to expire. But after all the delays he eventually signed a new 3 year deal with KC.

Julian Speroni will sign a new "long-term" deal in order to finish his career at Palace. It is expected he will move into a coaching role at the club after finishing his playing career.

Dumbuya has agreed a deal to join the club. Transfer will announced on 1/6/12.

Bolton have offered to several Championship clubs Chris Eagles on a years loan. One of them is believed to be Palace, along with Charlton, Leicester, Middlesborough and Forest(6)(18)More rubbish. Ward will sign for ipswitch and eagles is far too good for you (you couldnt afford his wages anyway)Palace have enquired about Joel Ward but so have about 5 other clubs enquired,would love him at palace but doubt it.pppffftt ipswich all them star players and you only finnished 2 places above us pony comes to mind.Why would Bolton loan Eagles when he was part of their starting line up for most of last season.Lewis price will not join the mk donsEagles is going nowhere

Some Cardiff City FC News:

Despite the fans dislike to the proposed changes that the Malaysian owners wanted to make, there will still be a lot of changes to the squad in the summer.
OUTS:
Kenny Miller - Everton £500k
Peter Whittingham - West Ham - £4.7m (regardless of whether they are promoted on Saturday or not.
Rob Earnshaw - Vancouver White Caps - £700k
Filip Kiss - Notts County - Season Long Loan
Anthony Gerrard - Hull City - £1.1m
Mark Huson - Crystal Palace - undisclosed
Jon Parkin - Yeovil - Free

INS:
Will Keane - Man Utd - Season Long Loan
Yakubu - Blackburn - £2.5m
Roget Johnson - Wolves - £3m
Frederic Veseli - Man Utd - Season Long Loan
Peter Lovenkrands - Newcastle - Loan
Alan Smith - Newcastle Utd - Free
Joe Lewis - Peterborough - Free

Expect Cardiff to have a decent start but their usual poor finish to next seasons campaign.
9th Placed Finish(11)(19)If West Ham don't go up there is no way they can spend £4.7m on a player as there will have to reduce their wage bill and playing staff.
Likewise Cardiff won't be able to afford £2.5 & £3m fees (granted part of your assessment is based on getting £4.7m for Whittingham) if funding is withdrawn as has been intimatedGerrard is out of contract, he's available on a free.Lol welsh people need to keep in the no!! lovenkrands is free so no loan..., yakubu to cardiff who never go anywhere hmmmm 2.5 when blackburn want 10 !! johnson never go back to cardiff he has no relegation clause in his contract so stays on his 40k per week which i doubt you could afford a tenth of this..., keep dreaming and up swansea!!Carling Cup Final and Playoff Semi final , thats going somewhere bit harsh to say nowhere??

Ah bless was that a dig at Cardiff 'up Swansea'??? really mortified at that...ha ha ha

I think you'll find that Wolves will probably want rid of anybody on £40k per week as they will now be joining us in the Championship!! Im sure we could afford £4k a week for him as you state and thanks for being an expert on our finances , we'll pass you on our way up!! ttfnThe above is make believe !! Shock horror!!

 


17 May 2012 08:48:51
Man Utd in triple bid for Eden Hazzard,Grant Holt and Stewart Downing as sir Alex starts rebuilding squad.(9)(33)None of these players will go to United.Stewart downing would make their squad worse..,They wouldnt pay £1.50 for downingLMFAO.downing,ye can take him for freeHazard is extremely possible, either them or city. But downing and holy are you kidding meFergie needs to improve his squad- Downing would do that how exacly?

 


17 May 2012 08:45:54
Rafael Benitez to return to Liverpool
after the sacking of Kenny Dalglish.
He will hopefully bring in Gaston Ramirez,
Luuk de jong and Rasmus elm.(13)(10)That is all that Liverpool needs, another manager who believes in their own legend and thinks that they can spend silly money on players that are mediocre at best. What Liverpool need is a manager who will make the best of the players that they have and can work with a now limited amount of money as the owner have already indicated that players will need to be sold before they can buy.

I expect Liverpool to go for either Capello, Klinsman, Loew or Rijkaard.Capello too expensive; the other three too successful

New Vidic to be, this London born teenager,who also has a British citizenship, could be a target in the summer transfer window for several English top flyers.(3)(6)Sarkic is 17 years old and has onother year with FC Sochaux Montbeliard.

Liverpool want Watford manager Sean Dyche to take over at Anfield. They are looking a young fresh blood and The Watford boss has done extremely well for the Hornets this season with limited resources. Wolves are also interested.(6)(31)They MUST have a VERY GOOD sense of HUMOUR!Wolves have their new manager alreadyImagine the look on the scousers facesThey also want the Acrington Stanley boss to.......................Wolves already have a new managerCome on don't be silly..... Dyche has done very well, but does not have the pedigree, experience or any real achievements that would put him in contention. Great season with Watford, yes, with the resources it was arguably as good as Adkins/McDermott ....but that's not enough. He will stay another year at least...then maybe if we do well next year another team might try and lure him away.

 


17 May 2012 07:22:38
Neil Warnock was said to be furious last night as Leeds have missed out on not one, not two, but three signings this week.

Joel Ward - wages, will join Ipswich
Paul Green - wages - not joking, is also now likely to join Ipswich
Clint Hill - set to sign a new deal at QPR

Warnock goes in holiday in Saturday so that will be Leeds's last activity for at least a fortnight.(17)(10)Why would anyone be surprised by this rumour, Bates is still trying to run Leeds on the cheap wages wise, and they will struggle to keep any of their best players as their contracts run down unless Bates starts to recognise that salary levels have risen in the championship.Ward is joining Crystal Palace

Warnock doesn't go way until the 26th, he has said this more then once, he also said he expecting 2/3 signing before he goes and that the players haven't been linked yetWard will sign for Palace not IpswichWarnock not away until 25th.
You don't miss out on a player who signs a new contract with his current club and they are in the Premiership.
It's Ipswich fans that started the rumour about wages. Given that Ward was one of the lowest earners at Pompey, like Pearce, it's doubtful it's wages. The logical reason is that he wants to stay down south as has been muted.
Green could be wages, that's one of the reasons he didn't sign a new contract at Derby because he wanted too much.
At the end of the day there is no point guessing or listening to other rumours. If it happens it happens and if they don't sign they don't want to play for us. Think of it this way £15k/week is nearly £800k/year for playing football - how much do you earn a year?What any of us earns per year is irrelevant. The material sums the players earn are irrelevant as well - what is important is that you ensure you are paying competitively for the League in order to secure your targets. It doesn't matter if you're paying £1k/week or £500k/week. The important thing is, you're paying competitively when compared to other teams in the same division. Players won't settle for less than average. {Ed013's Note - There is probably a bidding war going on and Leeds will not go past what they offered. Teams like Ipswich will be getting frustrated of losing their targets and therefore up their offer in wages and instead of signing 3-4 players with their budget, they will take the hit and sign 2-3 instead so their budget adds up. It is early days, so I wouldn't worry too much}What does it matter if Warnock is on holiday or not...he wont be doing the negotiations. He will give Bates his list of targets and then its up to Bates to negotiate terms with the players.
Its NOT about competitive salaries its about having a wage bill that is LESS in incomings otherwise you accumulate debt.All decent players left leeds last summer and jan. Anybody with a brain would not join leeds. Plenty loans in there team come augI don't think Ward is coming to us Ipswich

17 May 2012 00:19:01
Southampton interested in re-signing Kenwyne Jones from Stoke, Stoke are willing to sell to reduce the clubs wage bill.(12)(15)I would say its more because he is like 5th choice striker! Not the wage bill... However I can see bigger clubs approach him like QPRWe don't want him. He's always injured and showed no loyalty last time he was with us.Jones only looks after Jones - he does not fit the profile of the new and improved Southampton....COYRs....Another player saints want lolSaints dont want Jones and Saints dont want the majority of the players mentioned on here. This is a rumour site which around 90% of is probably made up! It annoys me when I read people commenting "Another player Saints wants lol " or " How deluded are Saints wanting all these players " etc...It amazes me how so many people take all these rumours seriously and take it as fact. Saints will buy players and people will know who they are when they are signed. Rant over..No another player Pompey skates claim Saints want.
Look lets make it clear, no one will no any of Southampton transfers this season until they are made public by ethier Adkins or Cortese FACT.
So you Skates keep posting away, i personally love the fact you would rarther talk about our club then your own, tells you all you need to know.No Saints fan would want him back at all, after the way he left us.Saints have come out and said the want a home grown squad so why would they spend money on him?It's a rumour site ffsI doubt Jones would want to go near Soton and they couldn't afford him anyway.

Sunderland looks his likely destination as MON a huge admirer. Malaga have also shown interest

16 May 2012 22:55:04
A number of championship clubs are swarming after Southampton winger Jason Puncheon. Its believed that Charlton, Watford, Brighton, Bristol City, Derby and Peterborough are all weighing up whether to land the 25 year old.(6)(11)Leeds to sign Joel Ward and Paul Green this week, once Warnock is back from his holiday expect Halford and either Tommy Smith/Luke Varney or George Boyd.

Personally I wouldnt be surprised to see some sort of swap deal with Leicester for Adam Clayton and any number of players including Matt Mills, Jermaine Beckford, Neil Danns or Richie Wellens.

Also The Possible options for Left-Back:
Clint Hill
Nicky Shorey
Joe Mattock
Dean Lewington
Tommy Spurr
George Elokobi

Barnsley's Keith Hill looks set to lose star player Jacob Butterfield. The midfielder is set to complete a £1.5m deal to Leicester by the end of this week. Hill will look to add strength in depth with the money as the money he gets from Butterfield is all he has. Targets on Hill's list are;

Gary McSheffrey, Coventry, £450,000

16 May 2012 19:50:06
Hulk is close to signing for Tottenham.(10)(42)As much as I'd like to beleive this story, Daniel Levy is far to shrewd to pay stupid money for any 1 player. Hulk's release clause is £85m, and any realistic offer would need to be around £30-£40m. Spurs are much more likely to sign a player like Dimao for £12-£16m.Maybe in your championship manager gameSounds about right, kick & run man for a kick & run team

AshmanThat would be an incredible signing,the rest will be green with envy.Wasent HE on the TV!Have to agree with post number 1. No way will levy pay 30-40 million. If that was the case, Hazard would have joined spurs in January!!Levy offered £40m for aguero. not saying he will for Hulk but they have it.
shortySource?Dont think levy would spend the money needed to get him but i woudnt want him any way..clumsy striker who would be out of his depth in the prem..Incredible!

Ipswich set to complete the signing of Joel ward in the next few days, Jewell is also hoping that a bid is accepted for Huddersfeild right back Jack Hunt as the 21 yeard old fits his need of 'young and hungry' but isnt likely to be cheap after a good season in league 1 .

Good luck to the lad.He signed a 2 year deal at the end of last season, so not sure how he is out of contract. From the Wycombe official site "Inventive frontman Beavon earned himself a new two-year contract in the summer following a hugely impressive 2010/11 campaign."Stop making things upReally cant see that , as Bournemouth are front runners for himAnd Bournemouth being hugely different and much more attractive than Notts County because?Preston have agreed a fee of 400k for himWhere the hell have they got 400k from?

Wolves have put a 10m price tag on jarvis and a 12m on fletcher with a message ''we dont have to sell, both players are 25 and have a 3year contract left with us and they are both happy to complet their contracts with us. Sothey wont be going for anything less then our values''(9)(20)Fletcher will not be at wolves next seasonThe post is true, it's in the local paper.I dont think wolves will sell unless silly money is offered but this is unlikely so both players probably will stay and from what ive heard well be making a couple of signings like...

Simeon Jackson £1.5 m
Mathias JĆørgensen £5m
Nile Ranger £2.5m
Emmanuel Frimpong (season loan)
Greg Cunningham (season loan)Neither of them will. Wolves fan's are just a bit deluded and can't accept the downfall. Tough luck.Wolves are selling fact or face going bankruptIt is well known Wolves are financially sound so there is no need to sell will depend if the players want premiership football and on whether Wolves evaluation of them is met. Personally hope they stay.Wolves are no where near bankruptcy.How can we be deluded ? Moxey came out and said it.We do not need to sell to survive.They will go if a prem club wants them

which they will, wake up Wolves fans you have been relegated financially sound or not gonna be tough trying to get backIm a wolves and and to be realistic we dont have a choice if the player wants to leave he can do so as all players have a relegation release clause in there contracts plus we cant afford pay premship wages for championship moneyWhy do u want keep them anyways they got u relagated ?? poor players for a club thats going drop down the leaguesIf you know we are going to drop down through the leagues, can you tell me the lottery numbers for Friday night please.On another note can't see us buying Mathias Jorgensen just gone to psv. Fletcher tweeting things thats sound like he's stating ie "we'll be back" and "frimpong has unfinished business at wolves"Wolves are the only profitable Premier League team by the end of the 2011/12 season FACT. The need to sell is not there FACT. That being said Fletcher and Jarvis will leave to go back to the Premier League FACT and Wolves fans will have to accept that FACT although it will on Wolves' terms and not the players FACT. Will be an interesting summer of comings and goings but Wolves will be losing the better players FACT.

Just been speaking to the Press officer at Sheffield Weds and he said they are close to snapping up Sunderlands promising youngster Peter Horner & are also trying to tie up a 1 year deal for Jason Koumas.

Been a lot of interest in Madine as well, if the price is right they are willing to replace.

They enquired about McCormack but it was dismissed as he loves it there and Warnock is basing his team around him and Snodgrass next season.(6)(4)I can assure you that Peter Horner would not be interested in a move to the Championship as AC Milan are apparently interested.

McCormack might be tempted to move to a big club like Wednesday {Ed013's Note - McCormack, are you kidding! Premier League clubs wanted him in January!}As a Sunderland supporter I've never heard of Peter Horner. Who is he?

Also, Ben Foster is expected to sign for Tottenham, therefore West Brom are expected to sign Paul Robinson from Blackburn or Robert Green from West Ham, if they fail to get promoted.(5)(6)West ham obviously won't get promoted, they were nothing special when we played them... And as for big Sam.. hGreen is coming to Malaga, he would be mad not to !! {Ed013's Note - Fair one, I would choose the sun, I am sick of all this rain!}Foster will sign for West Brom definately,does not want to uproot his young family,whoever takes over at the Baggies will make Foster the priority.

16 May 2012 14:33:28
having been a big supporter of barnsley fc i must tell you that the club is not as sound as some people believe, in fact the only reason why vaz te left is because the books needed balancing. we have very little cash to buy players that is why keith hill looks to lower league players. so if you think i am wrong then write directley to patrick cryne direct at the club.(8)(4)Relegation next season would be a huge disaster for you.Would that be directly?The reason vaz te was sold was common sense !! he was going for nowt at the end of the season, and we were more or less safe, so 500k for nowt. its pointless trying to build a team around someone that intends to leave.the same happened with howson at leeds."Relegation next season would be a huge disaster for you." It's not exactly good for anyone now is it?

Some fantastic news for Ipswich fans reguarding the signing the of Joel Ward. Just been told by my ever reliable source, that Joel Ward is expected to complete his move to Ipswich by friday at the latest. Although he spent time talking to Leeds, Ipswich was always his first choice. H ecould of gone Leeds and earnt a great deal more money, but decided that Ipswich was his best place to go.

Looks set to be the first of at least 7 signings this summer.(5)(13)U obviously know nothing, leeds would never offer more money than ipswichWell, I doubt this is true. I don't see how he could have seen Ipswich as a 'better' place to go. Especially seeing as he can link up with Jason Pearce at Leeds, and possibly David Norris according to recent speculation. However, Ipswich have courted him a long time, and can match Leeds' wage offer easily. Its anyones guess in my opinion, 50-50 either way.

To Southampton fans, Wolves want ten million pounds for Jarvis , remember Wolves do not need to sell as they are not cash strapped.Wolves also want ten million pounds for Fletcher as well.So good luck with offering four million pounds for Jarvo.
Morto(9)(7)AHAHAH good one wolves aren't in a great position in terms of jarvis wanting to play in the prem. Wolves will lose at least 4-5 of their best players on the cheap as Wolves aren't seen as a team that can bounce straight back up. With the likes of Leicester spending big this summer as well as Charlton. Attendances will start to fall and you'll be playing league 1 footie in now time poor club with awful fans. By the way southampton have a bigger fan base then half the other prem teams and high volumes of cash waiting to be spent (what other team can afford to spend 15m on a new training ground?)You can keep him then better players in that position for half the priceNothing has actually been confirmed! Its all hear say wether Saints have made a bid, wether its £4m or even if they are interested! People need to stop taking rumours on here seriously! Jarvis is not worth £10m and when he leaves it wont be for that amount..regardless of what club he goes to.Have you taken into account Jarvis may force a move away as he would prefer prem football? I heard saints bid 5.5 anyway he's not worth 10 million get off yourgiabt horse made of strawDon't know if your a wolves fan mate, but your 100% correct. anyone who thinks wolves are under pressure to sell are just completely deluded and for 4 million you might just get jarvis's right footWe can do far better than jarvis-poor prem player. A club as big as saints should aim much higher. Jarvis imho isnt worh more than 800k. But then again if saints did want him they could have him just like that. Massive club, no disrespect to wolves but a far bigger club than them.Jarvis will leave for less than 10 mil. all clubs relegated from the prem need to sell players as there on high wages, much higher than the championship. All clubs need to balance the books when relegated or your be another Pompey/Luton/Chester etcSaints a big club omg delusion at its bestActually in all of Wolves players contracts it says wages are halved if they go down. Wolves have said they want £20million for Jarvis and Fletcher. They don't need to sell and Jarvis is on a long term contract regardless of where he wants to play.Wolves fans need to realise your now a Championship club...You are dreaming if you think your going to get £20m for Fletcher and Jarvis. Southampton are a big club...All you have to do is look at who owns them, their facilities and soon to be Cat 1 youth academy. In my opinion they will be a good mid table team.Saints are a bigger club than wolves fact over this season we've had just under an average of 1,000 fans more the wolves over the season. It's the wolves fans that are deluded. Have fun burnley and barnsley next season boys while we're playin man city and united. LOLBoth sets of fans are deluded, neither one of your clubs are a big club.I should think there are alot of saints fans embarassed by you lot. Wolves have stated in the local press we want £20 million for the pair. I was tol 4 weeks ago 12 for Fletcher an 8 for Jarvis. We will accept probably 1-2 less for each. We certainly wont let them go on the cheap as we dont need to sell. Although i suspect we wont see either in a wolves shirt again.Local press may have stated that but theres no way they are worth that much..and they wont be sold for that much either.Not a wolves fan by the way....
saints bigger club?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
league 1 recently and when you were also rans in the prem you played at the dell in front on 15 000.
I dont see alot of pedigree just posturing. welcome to the prem but get used to losing most weeks and being a small fish.We played in front of 15000 fans at the dell because that was the capacity of the ground. Idiot!The reason our attendance is lower than yours was because we have rebuilt 1 stand during this last season, so hence reduced attendance. We have had an abysmal season you were top of your league for most of the season and despite all of this only have an average gate of 1000 more. I am not claiming that wolves are a huge club but you saints fans really do have delusions of grandeur.Do Wolves fans not realise that it will be the players and their agents who decide whether a player will leave. It doesn't matter what the club wants, if a player and his agent are really wanting to move on, then a move will happen.
For the person Saints supporters (we all have them) get used to the fact that whilst the club does now have superb financial backing it is also very business like about costs. We will not pay silly money for players, we have a widespread network of scouts and will find good quality additions at sensible money. It is the crazy lot along the coast who sign average players at high prices on silly salaries and then go bust!

Just as an observation who writes this utter rubbish about barnsley fc. There is very little money to spend. Patrick cryne is on his way out of oakwell and we are looking for new investors to take over the club.if noone can be found barnsley fc will cease to exist in two years time.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How do you work that out when Barnsley are self sufficient and can run without investment but it would be a bonus if it could be found


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

We can all hope so


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

we make money, just, from day to day running,we have funds from player sales ie vaz te, 500k, butterfield 1.5 - 3m, plus any others. the wage bill is reducing. 2 out of 10 try again !


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

Never heard anyone speak so much rubbish about a subject they clearly dont know what theyre on about......cryne doesnt invest and will never invest again......we have enough money from player sales and will always have enough money as we are rich in producing good players from lower leagues and then sell em on for profit.


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

The op is correct I used to work for Barnsley FC as a contractor Patrick Cryne pumps between 2-3 million a year to keep them a float as they don't make enough to keep the club going, if he leaves they are in real trouble and will need to find an investor ASAP!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This used to be the case untill last season but we have completely changed the financial structure of the club over the last season to make our selves run self - sufficient in the same way as clubs such as Watford and Palace.(1)(4)Should point out that Watford are still in quite significant debt, but I dont doubt that they are well run. If you want financial stability, Leeds are the best run club in the football league, but as proved this season, that does not reflect onto the football pitch. Bit of risk is required sometimes.On what basis are Leeds the best run football club in the football league. There are teams in league two that consistently make a profit, allbeit only small. Is Leeds wage bill lower than than their income otherwise they are not well run!!

Norwich have rejected a first approach from Villa for Paul Lambert. This is set to cause trouble at Carrow Road, where Lambert has reportedly informed the board that he would like to speak with any big club that cones in for him.

Really hope we can hold on to him! Funny how he seems to want to leave as soon as a remotely better comes in, a bit disappointing.(20)(7)Cos he showed so much loyalty to colchester.Not being funny but he has already done it when he left colchester for uHas reportedly'informed the board that he would like to speak with any big club that cones in for him'. What a ridiculous statement. Of course he hasnt said this and even if he had how would anyone be able to report this as fact, unless they have unlimited access behined the scenes at the club. Dont pretend to know about football if you are going to make up ridiculous speculation such as this. Go and follow netballVilla a big club make me laugh what have they won lately only got two good players given and agbonlahor and american owner how doesnt give any money to spent for players what the differents between norwich and villa norwich have heart and passion villa dont on the ball cityOh shut up. You speak as if Norwich are God's gift to football, when all you've done is poach players. Thanks to you lot up there, Grant Holt could be pulling on a white shirt. Lets hope he wears it the right way around for starters, eh?
Lambert has proved himself a worthy candidate for a proper job with a proper club that has all the academy and scouting networks to make his life interesting. You know its down to him you are where you are.Yeah, lets slate the man for wanting to better himself, because nobody else would leave their current job for something better would they?Even if he has said this, what difference does it make. Just because you go into a book shop doesn't mean you are going to buy a book. such interest though is a great lever for Mr Lambert persuading the Canaries board that it will take more than chicken feed to keep him. In any event, all these managers are just hired hands. you nicked him off Colchester, eventually someone lese will nick off you and you'll grab someone else's manager. Had Lambert had failed, you'd have all be baying to to have him sacked months ago, so there's no loyalty anymore on any side. Football's a fickle business. Live with it.Lambert has left every club he has ever managed at the first sign of any offer. Don't think he has stayed at any club more than 3 seasons.

If... IF an offer comes in, he will go!Perhaps Villa should employ the same tactics to get Lambert as Norwich did to get him away from Colchester!"he would like to speak with any big club that cones in for him"

Villa are not a big club, now if Liverpool came in for him I dont think the board would stand in his way but Villa is a sidewards step, not a step up which is what he will do when he leaves.

Lambert will stay for 1 more season IMO.If you listen to what Lambert had to say at the end of season dinner at Norwich on Monday you will see that he is very happy and hinted that his non commital nature when interviewed is just that and nothing more. He said that he expects to still be at Carrow Road next season and then says to Chris Goreham he expects to be interviewed by him a number of times yet.

Not concrete proof but a lot more substance than anything else mentioned. Plus Villa are much more likely to go down the Martinez route, Wigan have said they will let him speak with clubs if he wishes etc, sounds like an offer is imminent.

The Liverpool job is too soon, West Brom is a sideways step, Wigan would be a step down and and Scottish club, well they arent even worth considering with that joke of a league. Next season is when i will worry as he will continue his good work here and more than likely have much better offers than the poisoned chalice that is Aston Villa.

He will screw you for all he can get, conference or worse here you come.He won't be allowed, and come Christmas Portsmouth will still be owner-less.Pompey need an owner by next month, so they cant be ownerless come Christmas.

Reading are ready to sell both Noel Hunt and Adam Le Fondre now they are in the PL. The Royals want 2 forwards that they can trust to fire them to safety.

Noel Hunt: Cardiff £750,000
Adam Le Fondre: Leeds, Cardiff, Birmingham, Burnley, £1.25m

Possible Ins:

Yakubu: Blackburn £3m
Jordan Rhodes: Huddersfield £5m
Gary Hooper: Celtic 6m
Johan Elmander: Galatasaray £5m(15)(41)The only truth in this is their interest in Jordan Rhodes... Reading scored more than enough goals this year to keep them up in the prem...Hooper for 6 million?
We already knocked back 7 million in Jan
and hes banged in plenty since then.
Try 10 and then there might be a conversation.10 million for a player playing in the equivalent of league 2 i. dont. think. so.And what are people paying for rhodes? and he is in an even lower league, who would you have Hooper or liverpool 25mill striker? many of GREAT players have played in spl and Hooper is one of 3 to hit 5 in a game. your arrogence is blinding you, the everton new boy is banging in goals after leaving rangers and he got most of his spl goals from pen, where as hooper just scores with bad refs and 2 pens maybe. 50 goals in 2 season, cant wait for him to get picked for euros and open all yours eyes, he is worth at least 10mil. he would only leave to a big, he was second leading goal scorer in the championship and i believe only rooney has scoed more then him in the uk.5 mil for rhodes should be around 8 and neil lennon said 35million for hooper because he is as good as carrol-apparently

I am a Glaswegian Celtic fan, now living outside Paris near Troyes, France. and the local newspaper L'Express reported today that Crystal Palace have made an offer for newly promoted, ESTAC (Troyes) attacking midfielder Mounir Obbadi, who has scored 5 goals this season. It also says they became aware of Obbadi whilst following up on a former Crystal Palace trialist, forward Sébastien Grax, though no offer for him has been lodged...... don't shoot the messenger {Ed013's Note - So why is your IP address from Goole, East Yorkshire!}(4)(5)And anyone with a knowledge of France would not classify Troyes as anywhere near Paris.....The original poster(not me) does not state that Troyes is near Paris, he states that he lives outside Paris near Troyes. There is nothing geographically incorrect about this statement. Get a life!Busted by geographical knowledge & i.p address in Yorkshire , I bet you feel like a reet'un now.

Serious info from trusted source. Man City backroom staff will at least attempt going to approach Messi's agent in the summer. They beleive now that Guardiola has left and with Messi having won everything in Spain they can tempt him with the new challenge of the Premier league and joining up with fellow Argentines Tevez and Aguero. If theirs any interest from Messi when he's approached it will be backed up with an offer to Barca of around what Real paid for Ronaldo (£80-£85 million)(27)(23)Not a chanceMessi has said so many times he will stay at Barca for the rest of his career and play one final season back in Argentina

Can't see him going to a club that's just got relegated and will lose there best players and struggle to get out of the hardest league first time round.

Kaka - Chelsea £57.5m
Joe Cole - Southampton (loan)
Billy Sharp - Wigan £7m(6)(50)Heskey's out of contract, kaka isn't worth that anymoreKaka 57.5m what greek dollars lol
were u get ur info 2006Heskey is out of contract.Maybe I'm missing something, but how do players out of contract, ie Heskey, demand a fee, who would get the money as no contract to buy out of, or alternatively is this person full of the you know whatNo way is Billy Sharp leaving Saints..Absolute rubbishNo Chance on Cole why Southampton the only low prem team he would go to is west ham(if they get Promoted) or he will sign for lille. Heskey is free agent Kaka for 57.5 mill is no chance and sharp is not going to leave Southampton and to Wigan 0 chanceWigan wouldn't pay £7m for Billy Sharp who is loving his NEW CLUB Southampton, who also wouldn't support the wages of Joe Cole! If Lyon can't afford his wages, us Saints surely won't break our structure and our way of thinking for him!Riiiight...heskey is on a free so won't cost £2.5mil, kaka was worth that huge amount... About four years ago...and Billy sharp will not leave Southampton after half a season and besides, he is worth no where near £7mil. Please refrain from posting rubbish on this site as it is clear you don't have even the vaguest knowledge of football.LOL the person for this post cant even be bothered to check when players r out of contractIf Wigan were interested in Sharp they would have bid for him in January when Southampton got him for less then £2m.Heskey is on free as his contract is up :)

 


15 May 2012 19:52:34
SOUTHAMPTON have had a bid accepted for Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez. The England Under-21 international will discuss personal terms on the south coast as Saints prepare for life in the Premier League, after a seven year absence.

22 year old Rodriguez who hit 15 goals this season for Burnley is understood to be keen on a move to the Saints after the clubs agreed a £7.5m transfer fee.(39)(15)Jay turned down Southampton in the summer and would favorably prefer to stay north with Burnley already turning down offers from Everton and Newcastle .. The fee however would be about right if you were to land him.Heard the same rumour....7.5 million! Not likelyWhere's this been reported ?Your be there for 1 year :)I think Saints will turn alot of heads in the Premier League..people who dismiss newly promoted teams saying they will go straight back down are narrow minded..especially after Norwich,QPR and Swansea this season. £7.5M is alot of money, but with rumours on this site you just take it with a pinch of salt.7.5m will be about right as Burnley are quoted as saying they want 8m.He won't go Southampton already rejected them one. more than likely gonna stay up north

Just as an observation who writes this utter rubbish about barnsley fc. There is very little money to spend. Patrick cryne is on his way out of oakwell and we are looking for new investors to take over the club.if noone can be found barnsley fc will cease to exist in two years time.(3)(8)How do you work that out when Barnsley are self sufficient and can run without investment but it would be a bonus if it could be foundWe can all hope sowe make money, just, from day to day running,we have funds from player sales ie vaz te, 500k, butterfield 1.5 - 3m, plus any others. the wage bill is reducing. 2 out of 10 try again !!Never heard anyone speak so much rubbish about a subject they clearly dont know what theyre on about......cryne doesnt invest and will never invest again......we have enough money from player sales and will always have enough money as we are rich in producing good players from lower leagues and then sell em on for profit.The op is correct I used to work for Barnsley FC as a contractor Patrick Cryne pumps between 2-3 million a year to keep them a float as they don't make enough to keep the club going, if he leaves they are in real trouble and will need to find an investor ASAP!

Can you tell me your ource for firstly Wilder leaving and to a more ambitious club - who is the club. And PDC is not, would not come to Oxford. He will leave Swindon, either by being sacked for the recent race issue or if not proven, to a bigger club than Swindon. But please, unless you are prepared to provide your source and which club in the Conference this is total rubbishAnd also, Oxford do not have any funds to source such a deal....what nonsenceWhat utter garbage, why would he join their biggest rivals in a lower division?
DevonGreenHa!! Very good..when is your next gig? Goes to show despite all the sick vile nonsense aimed at Di Canio by Oxford fans they would dearly love to have him there!! Haha..listen sonshine..Oxford are in dire financial straights!! The cannot afford to get rid of Wilder...your boards sole aim is to stay in the league..nothing more...you are only a small club now...and they are aware that ANOTHER fall into non league obscurity will just about finish the club! behind the scenes is real fear, if things are going badly at Christmas time you wait and see what actions they take!! Don't believe me? Well "Rats leaving a sinking ship" will be what you lot are screaming!! You better get behind Wilder and hope he can do as well again next season as this...

i heard that liverpool might sign Victor Moses, and Man U might sign Leighton Baines. {Ed025's Note - leighton is staying at the home of football!(11)(19)Anfield?Ed leighton plays for Everton not Preston, anyhow king Kenny spend this and last season funds on duck eggs, who would want to play for a team that spends 100mil + and cant even get in the top 6,signing for losserpool these days is a backward step for any footballer...Preston have more chance of winning the prem before LFCI presume that ED025 means the old folks home of football. Everton rarely play football these days. Main move is up to head of either Cahill or Felliani.

Watford Rumours:

Paul Taylor is not going to Watford.
Troy Deeney is not going to Millwall.
Sam Baldock will have a season long loan at Watford of West Ham get promoted.
Tomasz Kuszczak will sign on a free transfer from Manchester United.
Tommy Smith might sign for Watford now that QPR are still in the Premier League.
Watford might sign James Collins from Shrewsbury.
Another Watford target is Omarr Lawson who has recently had a trial.

These are all genuin facts.(8)(13)Apparently according to press reports, Allardyce has already told close friend Paul Jewell that he will have first option on Sam Baldock at Ipswich.We'd be extremely happy if this all happenedI just don't see us getting Kuszczak, Smith and Collins. Maybe...just maybe.... but who knows. Add Heidar in there and it would be a dream Summer.Do you see any of these happening Ed? {Ed025's Note - very doubtful mate^ "Any of these happening" - "no mate".

So Taylor is not not going to Watford and any other outcome is very doubtful? Great signing for us eh......

Garry hooper staying at Celtic .
Charlie mulgrew to EPL.

Hail hail.


What's with the Southampton fans thinking their a bigger club than they actually are .

Bottom line . Will you's be playing in the champions league this year ........fighting to stay up me thinks.get a grip.(15)(15)We will always play in a bigger league than u.Not hard to qualify for champions league when u only got 2 teams in your league lmao good luck your need itNo truly ambitious player is really going to prefer 180 mins of qualifying round CL football and a career playing L2 level sides domestically to testing themselves in the Prem.

Hooper wouldn't cut it in the PL, not good enough. Don't know why Southampton's fans want him so badly. many better options in the npc.

To add a real rumour I heard

James Forrest is signing for Reading.Two games in the champios
league home and away
and out
anything higher than mickey mouse
league you l get stuffedEPL is a much bigger league than the SPL! Celtic are a big club, but compared to the EPL clubs they are mid table at best...oh and you wont be in the Champions League for too long....Playing in the champions league until the end of AugustRangers and celtic have big stadiums (sort of) but the actual playing squad would struggle to survive in the championship. youre not a big club compared to the rest of the world ! you are in that little bubble we like to call the spl.Btw is this the same mulgrew that couldnt hack it in the championship with wolvesWith the squad celtic have we would finish mid table in epl but with epl tv money wo would soon be top 4 but southampton will alway be phCeltic? Mid table EPL?
I assume you mean relegation fodder.
Seriously what is up with you Scots thinking the SPL is the greatest league in the world?Plenty come to Celtic Park and seldom leave with a single point.
9 million fanbase worldwide you clowns have no idea what Celtic could achieve with EPL finances?
Alex Ferguson knows how big a Club Celtic is and he's pissed your League for 20 years.How do you get Celtic being mid table team to "Scots" think spl is the best league? we know the league is not the best but Celtic is a great club in the wrong leagu(maybe) so we get no respect. and do youthink epl is the best? because what i see is man u wining every year, now its the 2 man teams. for a league that is "crap" your english teams sure do like going to it to get players. Celtic would walk right through league 2 and 1 and championship, if we ever make it to epl and get the same money we would stir things up in epl and make it alot more exciting.Ha ha you lot make me laugh southampton your right are not bigger then Celtic ,, but I stress ,yet but the ambition our club has will take us all the d
Way not just to take part in the championsleague but to go somewhere in it we will survive and to oh from there trust me COME ON SAINTSCeltic fans get real you may have a big stadium but thats it u will be out of the champions league by august, group stages at best and southampton have big investment and go eat a mcdonalds ;)Can you please stop saying celtic are bad just cos we play in a st league. We have proved time and time again we are to good for it

COYI!!(10)(18)Going rate for Jarvis is currently 8 mill - Sunderland Liverpool Stoke all interested.Is maynard of vaz te, like vennegoor of hesselink?Blackpool to win play off finalDowning is worth twenty million , by my reckoning Jarvo is worth the same , considering Downing has assisted no goals or scored any.Based on this season alone Jarvis is a far better player than Downing but we all know that Downing has had a shocker of a season. But if West Ham are looking at bidding £5m for Snodgrass or Jarvis then Moxey will just laugh at that as Jarvis is 3x the player of Snodgrass.

They are also looking to confirm the signings of Matthew Connolly and Hayden Mullins. Gylfi Sigurdsson, Shane Long and Michael Owen rumours are incorrect.(16)(18)Yes please to that list!! Apart from Andy Johnson, not too bothered about himJunior Hoilett and Nathaniel Clyne will end up at bigger clubs. I cannot see you getting Jay Rodriguez either.I'm sure Reading are interested in those players as I'm sure 10 or 11 other Premier League teams are and realistically Reading will end up with 0 or 1 of those if indeed they bid for them.

Yakubu's words were to the fact that the players that have relegated the club should stay and help them get promoted. So seems from this that Yakubu is staying and Hoilett has agreed to join Chelsea. FACT. Also heard that Keane is more then confident that he will be keeping his job, he is not worried about this at all.(8)(20)He's actually opted to join spurs

Plenty of sources have been linking Leeds with Green and Ward, and it looks like those moves are indeed close to completion. But the one that seems to have slipped under the radar is Greg Halford, the Portsmouth utility man, who Warnock seems to see as his replacement for Connolly. The winger-cum-fullback is well versed in the Championship and had an excellent season last term. It seems he's been in discussions with Leeds, and several other clubs, for some time now.

Maybe loan signings are the way to go, just look at Jack Cork's situation as well as Ryan Bertrand.I think you guys should try to loan some young EPL players like gokan toure, billy clifford, Paul Pogba, Frimpong or Affene all could do with 1st team football and take Jack Cork, Scott Sinclair and Jack wiltshire all have had successful loan spells and will really benefit Millwall as a whole.

Whilst plenty of attention is being given to Lambert, Martinez and Rodgers as a potential replacement for McCleish, Villa have also added Steve Bruce, Steve Maclaren and Mick McCarthy to their shortlist.

Villa are aware that Martinez turned them down before and that Rodgers has consistently committed himself to Swansea. Lambert is known to want to leave Norwich but the issue is that Lambert almost certainly does not regard the Villa job as the right career choice.

The Villa hierarchy still hold Maclaren in high regard but are aware that fans' protest might reignite. The same applies to McCarthy.

This leaves Steve Bruce as the obvious contender.(14)(7)How is Lambert 'known' to want to leave Norwich, had plans for Norwichs coming season at last nights end of season meal! Ruined a perfectly plausible argument there!Lambert known to want to leave Norwich? You must be kidding, he is loving life at Norwich. The only way Lambert would leave is to go to one of the big clubs. And Villa ain't big enough I'm afraid.Do you mean the Steve Bruce that used to manage Birmingham? Super Lambo isn't leaving Norwich you deluded fools. You're not a big club anymore,so stop pretending to be one!'known?' Known by who? It is not 'known' that Lambert wants to leave Norwich.Villa need to get over themselves saying they are a top 7 team on SKY just who do u think u are the last time you done that was under o'niel and that wass down to him being a brilliant manager cause look whats happened to sunderland. so pls villa fans get over yourselves cause ur not a top 7 club and wont be for a long time just accpt it causeyou may get relegated next year if you hire wrong manager andI'm not a Villa fan, but Villa are a much bigger club than Norwich and always will be, more history, better pedigree and more financial clout. One good season doesn't make a big club just as one poor season doesn't make you a bad club. Lambert will leave if the chance comes.The same old names. Its about time some teams took a gamble on unknown or lower league managers. There are a lot of good managers in the lower leagues.Neither Martinez or Lambert will join Villa... Nowrich or Wigan may not be 'bigger' clubs than Villa, but my god they are better clubs!And MirrorSport understands Lambert is keen on the vacant post as he believes in Villas potential.Poster 1 try watching his interview where he paused for an eternity when asked if he would be at Norwich next season then said he could not answer the questionPoster 1 try watching his interview where he paused for an eternity when asked if he would be at Norwich next season then said he could not answer the question

--

Go back 18 months to the Lambert to Burnley debacle. When asked if he was going to be at Norwich by the end of the week he said, i have nothing to say, im not willing to comment or there is nothing for me to say. Which was true, there was nothing in the story and nothing for him too say, but by not giving a clear answer he squeezed more cash out of the board and used it to great effect. Hes not going anywhere just yet!

David Amoo.......you just cant make this stuff up....comedy gold!!Amoo will not sign for pne as they are looking a better players ,slew is on loan so cant sign for pne ,the laird rumour is true he as turned down millwall to join westleyWhy would freeman sign for PNE when he has good championship clubs (burnley, brighton) looking at him?So basically you are signing the whole Stevenage team

Fergie stayed behind on Sunday at Stadium of Light (and kept Man Utd bus waiting for 45 mins) as he was discussing deal with O'Neil for SAFC to sign Carrick & Park for £14mill - from a good source(2)(33)I'm sure that was the last thing on fergie's mind after full time! Also these sorts of things are commonly carried out by the likes of David gill!Yes, once Fergie has given any transfer the green light, that's when Gill gets involved, etc.It isnt pub football, transfers are not negotiated over a glass of wine and a packet of crisps after games.Yeah, because Carrick the Newcastle fan who has played most games for United this season and has played very well will sign for a rubbish football team who has no chance of doing anything, ever!

Simeon Jackson Is coming back to gillingham !(7)(10)Why would he go to gillingham when it,s said
championship clubs are interested anyway
don,t think you would afford his wagesFor a pizza?To open a sports store most likely0% chance. He has performed well in the Premier League with limited chances. He will go to the Championship at worst for a decent fee, in the region of £1.5m i would have thought. Hes quick, powerful and showed that he can score goals at Championship level given the chance at the end of last season. Someone like Leeds could do a lot lot worse than looking at him (if they can afford him and his wages? Debatable i know.)Behave, gills a good club why would he leave the prem to go to league 2?I've heard that Cardiff could sign himAlthough id love to see jacko back theres no way he would drop this far down the leagues. we could never afford him anyway. cody mac could be an option?

West Brom are going to ask spurs for permision to speak to Jermaine Defoe.(34)(12)I have heard something similar to this with Shane Long also being involved in any deal...not sure if its got any truth in though.Doubtful, there wont be too much tinkering before a new manager is appointed, only possible deals to be done before finding a replacement for Hodgson are deals for Foster and Olsson....wouldnt mind Defoe though he knows where the back of the net is!Not too sure about this one, wouldn't mind Defoe at West Brom though!Surely we wouldnt pay his wages. Anyway can't see us letting go of Shane already only reason he didn't play that much through the season was injury not to mention marco fortunes form in sure he'll play more next year

Leicester Mercury -

Leicester City are apparently considering a swap deal, including former captain Matt Mills, with Celtic defender Kevin Wilson.

Those are the only facts to have been reported


Do any of you Ed's have insight into this ? {Ed013's Note - Not heard, but will ask about}(10)(12)I have heard this rumour up in Scotland!Matt mills on his way to leedsAnother useless ex forest defender is the last thing leicester need and its kelvin not kevinThe words "apparently considering" means it is not fact.

WEST BROM chairman Jeremy Peace was advised by outgoing boss Roy Hodgson to appoint CHRISTOPH DAUM as his successor. DAUM recently left FC Brugges by mutual consent after a successful season. He has previously managed clubs in his native Germany,Turkey and Austria.

15 May 2012 08:04:47
Couple of LFC rumours that seem most likely to happen to me are;

- Hoilett from blackburn. Out of contract so will be cheap. Won't be a free transfer as he is under 24 so Blackburn will be due conpensation

- Tello from Barcelona. Although Barca rate him highly, apparently he might be interested in a move else where to play more first team football. Again out of contract but conpensation due

-Elm from AZ Alkmaar. Rumoured to cost around 8 mil as contract expires in a year. Highly rated in the dutch league.

Not saying any of these are definates, other clubs will no doubt be interested in all of these players but they seem most likely signings to me at the moment for LFC as I can't see the owners pumping another 120 odd million on average players again.(21)(18)Ha... Tello to Liverpool, best joke I've heard for a while!Why would anyone want to go to Liverpool? What can they offer them, history? lmao. Bset thing to happen to LFC was Kenny going back and screwing it up, well done!

I'd like to see Norwich sign
Henri Lansbury
Dani Pacheco
Curtis Davies
Kyle Naughton
Maybe Elliot Grandin
Leaving will be
Aaron Wilbraham, even though I love him
Leon Barnett
Zac Whitbread
Andrew Crofts
Unfortunately Paul Lambert(20)(15)That depends on who your new manager wantsBlackpool fan says elliot grandin wants to stay in france he was loaned to nice he is homesickAs far as i can see we dont need a new manager. There is suggestion that Lambert wants to leave or that he will. I really do not think that Villa will be his destination when he does go either. Villa is too much of a risk for him at the moment and he is not yet proven in the prem. 1 more good season at Norwich and he will have his pick of a lot better jobs than Villa.
