Another rumour from the a local pub in Lytham, Lancashire. Manchester United to confirm a loan signing to Blackpool in the form of a well known "star of the future" from Fergie's youth squad....think of a make of Guitar Fergie thinks Holloway is the man to bring this youngster on, in the form of a loan till the end of the season. Another United "starlet" is thinking it over before commiting to Blackpool, but rumour is he wants a move back down south with a team near his home.
" CELTIC NEWS " A celtic director met with mark donaghy regarding a striker from scotland over a move to celtic! The player in question isn't prepared to sign a new contract for 6k per week when hes on 12k for the next 5 months, hes running his contract down and doesn't want to move his 2 kids out of their ayr school . Hes had talks with his family who stay in tarbolton , ayr and they are firmly behind him. Celtic are prepared to pay 12k per week and sign him for a small transfer fee of 300–400k. This transfer will be pay back for the mo johnston transfer. And will rock scottish football this week. T.R MOSSBLWN.
I really love reading this site but some guys are really away with the fairies. To the guy that wrote
"Your having a joke m8, 5'5mil for boruc, come back with about 15 and we will start from there, petr cech is a great keeper, prob the best in the world and boruc isn't far behind him, celtic to make a couple of big bids in jan and the summer, robbie keane is almost a cert to join, david bentley prob on loan, if man city sign another striker, bellamy could be on his way back to celtic, although i think keane and him are quite similar, with bellamy a bit quicker.also benficas oscar cardoza if others fall through, at least one centre half, poss john o shea, and don't be surprised to see riordan and liam miller back and danny swanson from dundee utd, not all will be signed, some are back ups"
15m for Boruc, You gotta be kidding mate. He is probably only the 3rd or 4th best keeper in Scotland behind Macgregor, Gallacher (St Mirren) Langfield ( Aberdeen) and your own Zaluska. All are on top of their game at the moment and Boruc isn't even fit. As for Bentley and Bellamy and O shea. These players would walk into almost any premiership team, so why would they move to Scotland.
As for rumours Bougherra to move to Spurs for 3–4m, Boyd probably sign for mid table Epl team as contract up in summer ( would be great buy for someone at around the 1=1.5m ) Also could see Mendes leave in Jan as he has been non existent for last 12 months.
Celtic to sign French striker for 1–2m and possibly 2–3 Spl players
I Heard Barnsley Might Be Bringing In Billy Sharp And Danny Shittu
Any Portsmouth Rumours???? Please Post
Man City rumours..
Big shocks for us blues, but good shocks!
(apart from one) SWP is on his way to Villa but a swap deal for Ashley Young.
Robinho has been rumoured to have said he wants to stay with City now, just as long as Sparky gets the sack sooner rather than later.
But if Robinho leaves for Barca, expect Yaya Toure to come in and also if we can't find a replacement for Robinho, don't be too shocked if you see Ronaldinho at Eastlands next season.
It also looks like we want to sign a right back, Sergio Ramos is actually a top target of Khaldoon Al – Mubarek (Chairman) but so is Maicon/Santon of Inter. A left back could come in although Wayne Bridge has been way better than Ashley Cole this season.
Also if Sparky gets the chop the top candidates for the job are:
Guus Hiddink
Roberto Mancini
Jose Mourinho (fed up in Italy)
Phillip Scolari
Zico.
That is not in order though, as Mourinho is the much more prefferred man.
Heard benni mccarthy is a possible loan for newcastle if wages r sorted out, evans from man utd...his brother not johnny, ukra from porto is reportedly keen on a move to the toon rather than stoke n blackburn, also heard bent wants away from the mackums since his mother was abused villa r ready to pounce if he decides to leave, lastly campbell is not joining toon instead they will go for a playmaker in the form of wiltshire on loan from the arsenal, wenger sees it as a great oppotunity for the young star to develope his fisical side and get games under his belt....denty the mag
Can you please post some walsall.fc transfer rumours today or tomorrow please
To the Celtic fan who said Celtic will sell Boruc for £15m and bring in Robbie Keane, David Bently and Craig Bellamy....get off the glue son and come back down to reality planet..Celtic will go for a young French striker for £1.5m and that's it...Boruc is valued at £4m now after his off field problems and no–one wants him...Rangers will sign no–one and looks like Bougherra will leave for between £4 and £5m if we're lucky and that will keep the banks happy till July.
Don't know how truth all of the rumours people are posting about arsenal have – as much as i'd like to see us sign 3 or maybe 4 players in January, i can't see it happening, Wenger just doesn't do it. Yaya is very unlikely to sign, his brother has hardly helped us recently with his comments and you'd imagine he'd prefer to sign for United or Chelsea :( Having said that, it would be a top draw signing, because of his versatility. As for CB's, it's painfully obvious that we need a leader at the back, and in my opinion he has to be English – looking back at all the title winning teams they've always had a strong English centre back (Adams, Campbell, Ferdinand, Terry, Bruce) – question is who? The only likely candidates appear to be Upson, Cahill and Shawcross – would Wenger ever re–sign a player, and would the other two be worth the inflated amount we would inevitably have to pay for them? Talking of re–signing a player, would it be worth a cheeky little loan deal for Flamini in January – not definite but i don't think he's getting much playing time at Milan so surely would be a good bet. Thoughts?? T–Dog
Manchester Utd. are enviously eyeing Pep Guardiola and the magnificent job he is doing at Barca... SAF has said that Pep would be the man to succeed him, and create a new 20 year Old Trafford dynasty...HOWEVER... He doesn't see Pep leaving the Camp Nou for ANYWHERE in the next five years.
"Iain the Know"
To all Barnsley Fans.
Mark robins will start the month of January by gettin rid of players such as JCR and El Hamiour but then will hopefully clinch the signing of Adam Le Fondre. He saw this guy play breifly at Rotherham when he was manager their and says he is one to look out for. Next will come a centre half, Robins has been linked to looking at Danny Shittu but also has been looking at Peter Clarke from Huddersfield. Lastly wil be a left winger who may be Robert Snodgrass but is highly doubtful as Simon Grayson will not let him go cheap.
Arsene never panic buys but he knows the squad needs a couple of tweeks to see us through this injury crisis. I believe that Vieira could be brought in on loan to cover Alex Song who goes to the African nations in Jan. I also believe a striker will be brought in to cover the injuries to RVP and Big Nic. Maybe Huntelaar as we need a big target man, we do have Theo who Arsene has told will begin the transition to striker this season, and Carlos Vela who could both play off a target man. Finally a centre half will need to be found, possibly Sakho or Upson. I like the look of Jay Simpson at QPR who is scoring for fun there and Fran Merida will be a big player for us in the coming months, he is similar to Cesc and has a massive future at Arsenal. I would like to see Yaya come in as he can cover midfield and defense but I believe we could be priced out of that particular player thanks to money kings at Man City....nice to see all that money still aint bought you success!!
Your having a joke m8, 5'5mil for boruc, come back with about 15 and we will start from there, petr cech is a great keeper, prob the best in the world and boruc isn't far behind him, celtic to make a couple of big bids in jan and the summer, robbie keane is almost a cert to join, david bentley prob on loan, if man city sign another striker, bellamy could be on his way back to celtic, although i think keane and him are quite similar, with bellamy a bit quicker.also benficas oscar cardoza if others fall through, at least one centre half, poss john o shea, and don't be surprised to see riordan and liam miller back and danny swanson from dundee utd, not all will be signed, some are back ups
Rafa is going to have a big clear out soon(if he is still here).
outs will be degen, the greek, skrtel, dossena, voronin, babel, david martin, itandje, and maybe reira depending on form and fittness, and maybe kuyt since his form as hit a low and he is ageing abit.
rafa is realy looking to sign to a right mid, left mid, left back, centre back and striker.
rafa main targets are:
right mid– milner 15mill or lennon 18mill
left mid– ashley young 20mill or mata 16mill
left back– vargas 17mill or cissoko 15mill
striker– carlton cole 15mill or toni 5mill or pandev 3mill/free
When things get bad people resort to holidaying in dreamland ie gurners and puddlers!!! rvn will not be joining ARSEnal and nor will pava be joining lfc in a deal or on loan! thfc will not be doing any deals with man utd or lfc after berba and keane! lennon has already put down the city, people and liverpool club, modric has insisted he will not be joining man utd for at least another two seasons after the end of this one but then only really see's himself going to spain? the rumour has it at the lane that pava and keane will go? pava abroad and keane back to the midlands??? poss villa poss blues?? spurs will in turn turn to central america and europe for replacements? spurs are also keeping tabs on the situation at man city regarding micah richards?
The rumor's posted abouy Arsenal buying akinviev are unture as is Villa Wenger threated to quit if he was requsted to spend 100 million and overhaul his young squd at the agm. and has great belief in alex song Chamachk is in the last 6 months of contact and would be in Wenger's plans as he wanted him in summer but would not pay 15 million for a player in final year off contract though he is free to speak in january. so a 5 millin deal will fall in place also his own word's were to only brind in changes 3 at a time at most with Ramsey fabregas song diaby denillson merida walcott rocsisky arshavin vela bendtner eduardo then watt eastmond sunu wilshiere coming through he would not want to damage there confidance by buying big also jay simpson to come back Villa would be great but in Arsene we trust Merida will be the next super gunner remember this space when the window over
Sevilla midfielder Diego Perotti has been the subject of a few enquires over the past few weeks from Premier league clubs such as Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea.Perotti has a clause in his contract that says if some–one offers 20 million for him, he will be allowed to talk to any other club that makes an offer.
Although rangers are in financial troble at the momement an american consortium will ezz that presure com january.They will give a NEW managment team a decent buget to work with.no imformation on who the new managment team will be but the usall names are being mentiond.levien, souness ect) as for new players paul konchesky has been metioned as papac will move into center back with big boogie.weir will be approached to be some part of the new managment. also rangers have been scouting two young players by the names of barry mcmahon and daniel robertson from hibernian youth.two very good young players the first a striker of a good 20 goals a season to be a great investment.not alot of information on the second but the deal is thought to be a great bit of bussiness. herd it first HENRY.xxx
I posted very similar to this a few times but it hasnt been printed!
Look some facts None of the top four teams will buy more than three players. None of them ever have. None of the teams would really benefit by paying the higher January prices, with a lot of the best players now cup tied from a european point of view. Chelsea will use the window to buy someone to help Anelka up front (African nations), but doubt they will break the bank! The mancs may buy one big name but i would expect them to follow that with a youngster and don't expect anyone to leave! Arsenal– Wenger NEVER messes with his squad too much and he won't start now. Expect a forward to ease the pressure on Eduardo and a midfielder to add some steel (?Matuidi?) LFC will lose a couple of players namely Dossena (wants his Italy world cup place) and Babel (Fall out with club/wants a world cup place). I'd expect two signings but no more due to a lack of dosh!! The forward should be Pandev and probably centre back cover but who really knows at the moment. I reckon spurs will sell one and buy one but thatll be it there as well. So all of these multiple change fantasy football rumours need to stop, its getting a bit boring!!!
Rangers may have to sell in january but there is no way we will sell steven davis, k boyd i do think if we get good offers for mcgregor bougherra lafferty mendes they will leave but he would have to get a couple of players in . keep the head up fellow gers fans and remember no surrender !!!!!!
A consortium has come forward with an agreed proposal to buy Rangers, wiping out the dept, paying an agreed price with SDM and providing a financial structure that allows the club to compete in the transfer market albiet at a level that is sustainable. No names have been released but the news is expected to be announced at this weeks AGM.
Dave King is not thought to be part of this although he was spotted in JJB talking to someone about the financial future of RFC!

News from portuguese football.
Ukra from Porto rumoured for premier league with Blackburn but he is most likely going to Newcastle in the Championship.
He would only leave in the summer after his loan with Olhanense finishes.
Also i think Porto would only let him go on loan.
Ok other thing, to the guy who said Hulk is going to Burnley, are u mad, he wouldn't leave on loan and he would go for a lot more that 5.5 million and he wouldn't want to go from Champions League football to possible Premier League relegation.
PAFC new head coach Mariner is already worried because the present batch of players are not good enough to survive in this league. Its common knowledge that Jamie Mackie is having his head turned by Derby who are 'tapping up' publicly via the media.
There is no money on the table for players and the squad is far too big and needs cutting but there are no takers for the likes of Mclean who reportedly earns £5k per week. Everything depends on tha World Cup bid so bums are twitchy !
It took intervention from mother nature to stop a Wiganesque beating at home against Barnsley and we set up a defensive midfield.
So who's out
Summerfield (sad good footballer not Luggys style)
Timar (no loss at this level, awful on Sat)
Mclean (just too slow for CCC)
Mackie (jewel in crown who wants better)
Barnes (needs lower league for a full season)
Siep (told the truth but is a Kn0b)
Fallon (will go in summer)
Holloway will be laughing and crying in equal amounts. He and his family loved it here but was intoxicated by the aroma of a Balti, but he will be saying I told you so from his cold windy northern # # training ground.
Just a few pointers for this post yesterday: 'Wenger to sign 3 key players in Jan, with the mega–bucks that Kroenke will give him (£100 million)'
First of all, Akinfeev – it will take far more than an £8m bid to land him, he's on Man Utd's radar too to replace VDS. We'd have to pay at least £12–16m to get him. Secondly, Yaya Toure will not be joining in January, he will be playing in the ACN so why would Wenger sign him when we are losing Song to the same tournament? Can't see the deal happening in the summer either. He'll cost a few quid (£20m+)and then there's the whole link with his brother who hasn't exactly been complimentary about our club since he left. David Villa may be mates with Cesc and he may enjoy the style of football that arsenal play (who doesn't?), but he's 28 years old and a layout of £20+m is simply not worth it. Liverpool paid £22m for Torres and he has plenty of years ahead of him. Would Wenger risk so much money on a player who has 2–3 years at the top level left in him? No. A striker is a necessity in January, as is a left back if Clichy doesn't recover in time, a CB to cover Gallas & Vermaelen and a holding midfielder. Any signings we make will not be CL cup tied, that's is essential to the deal. Wenger has stated that he was frustrated last season being unable to field Arshavin in European games. As for Kroenke pumping £100m into the club, I think you may have been smoking too much herb my friend. Kroenke is NOT the major shareholder – yet. Also, Wenger sold Toure & Adebayor for a combined £40m and had £30m available in the summer, only £10m was spent on Vermaelen meaning Wenger has £60m plus a January allowance (£15–20m) to work with. Kroenke can keep his money because we won't be needing it. Nor will Wenger blow the lot in one go with a World Cup looming. Summer deals will be made in late July/August next year (and they'll be pricey!). Expect possible deals for Subotic, Chamakh, Sakho, Hazard & Whickham – but not all of them in January! ––TOP GUN––
Arsene will bring in 2/3 players in January. A striker, defensive midfielder and possibly a centre back will all join. The premier league title seems almost a lost cause but in true Wenger style he still thinks Arsenal can win it. He knows aswell as anyone that his team lacks leaders and expereince. Losing to Sunderland put Chelsea in the driving seat and the experience of the blues was in honesty far superior to a young gunner side short on attacking finesse. He will move to sign a forward, potentially on loan with a view to permanent deal, it is likely to be between Henry, Balotelli, Remy or Van Nistelrooy. With Song departing to African Nations there is a shortage of defensive midfielders and Arsenal will move for Blaise Matuidi or Moussa Sissokho. A big reason Wengers side is so far behing is because of their inability to defend at times, We need a leader at the back which is likely to come in the form of Upson, 30 years old and done all he can do for the hammers, a big move before the world cup will only enhance his chances of being in Capellos squad. Despite various incorrect posts, Wenger is more than happy with Almunia and is unlikely to look elsewhere. There are reports Green could leave West Ham for as little as 5mil which may however tempt the frenchman.
Muamba to liverpool when mascherano leaves english replacement was going to happen in summer but mascherano thankfully stayed but he will leave in jan or summer, matias fernandez in to replace babel straight swap with matias fernandez playing either 'in the hole' or wide left.
Yaya Toure would be willing to talk to Chelsea or Manchester United after growing frustrated at Barcelona.
Birmingham boss Alex McLeish is eyeing an all–Serbian frontline of Nikola Zigic and Milan Jovanovic.
Arsenal are lining up a move for Sevilla winger Diego Perotti.
Newcastle will go for Huddersfield's Jordan Rhodes if Andy Carroll leaves the club.
Rob Hulse is a shock £3million target for Wolves.
Crystal Palace's Nick Carle is set for a loan move to Brighton.
Mian Muhammad Mansha is Notts Countys new co–owner
there is an other owner(the main backer) who will not
be named but Mian Muhammad Mansha is also putting some money in(but he is not main backer)
they are naming Mian Muhammad Mansha so the FL have a name to put to munto ltd
Notts County have also lined up a move to make a swedish side there feeder club for the 2010/2011 season who are as yet unamed but are reported to be hans backes old club
I was in the unfortunate position of being at the Emirates on sunday to see Arsenal to put it mildly, be DEMOLISHED by Chelsea.
I believe now that Wenger has noted several players NOT up to the task of winning games. Almunia has been mentioned on here several times which I agree. I also believe Eduardo's days are numbered.
I can't see much money being made available in Jan but there would be options for loan moves. I wouldn't be surprised to see thierry henry reurn for the remainder of the season and more of a surprise would be the loan of Ruud Van Nistelrooy as without van persie now for 5 months arsenal are stuffed. also a Loan move for patrick vieira isn't out of the question but more business with madrid with a loan move for mamadho diarra would be more a possibility.
Silent Stan will Not make any money available in Jan. Why would he???? He doesn't own the club....yet. By the end of the world cup he will and again tho big bucks WONT be made available. anyone who thinks that it will is naive.
the money from the adebayor and toure sales will be still available with maybe another 10 mill on top of that so around 40 mill max.
Edin dzeko will be earmarked as the new top striker to play alongside van persie if he recovers enough from this injury. I can't see any changes to the midfield but a defender or 2 to come in. Bound to be some unknown spotted in the world cup plus one with a little bit of experience. Micah Richards has been mentioned but is too short!!!
roll on next season, can't beileve im saying that and its only december 1st.
paul the gooner
Plymouth Argyle under–16 star midfielder Dan Hart is being scouted by Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona.Hart is also being looked at by several premiership clubs such as Manchester United and Arsenal.However, Hart is being tipped as an outsider for the 2010 England world cup squad.It is however unlikely that he will make it to South Africa but the 2012 European Championships are certainly within reach for the midfield magican.Also Plymouth Argyle defender Jamie Richards has agreed terms on a deal with a unnamed premiership club, believed to be Tottenham Hotspur.Various articles are tipping him to be a replacement for Ledley King.
Looks like sol campbell will be back in football at bolton.

Wenger is set 2 sign 2 new Cb's to cover the departing Silvestre and Senderos. Sakho is almost a dead cert 2 join in Jan or in the summer 4 around 8–10 million + Silvestre providing PSG can mange his wages while Senderos is set 2 leave 4 around 5 million to Germany and b replaced by one of 5 right–sided CB's the first is Neven Subotic who is valued at 18 million, the other is Udinese's Cristian Zapata who is valued at 15 million as well as Gregory Van Der Wiel at 8 million, Serdar Tasci of Stutgart (chances of snaring him increase if Stutgrat don't make the CL round of 16)– 20 million and Bolton's Gary Cahill who is valued at 15 million.
Wenger is still keeping tabs on Yaya Toure who is reportedly unhappy with his situation at Barca along with Inter, Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea.
In the striking department Mario Ballotelli is a possiblity after being critcized by Mourinho and enduring racist chants in Italy and Wenger is a known admirer Inter have set a hefty price of 20 million but a loan deal could b a possiblity with the option 2 make it permanant. In addtion Maroune Chamakh's good form in the CL has prompted Wennger 2 rekindle his interest and could b willing 2 offer up to 5 million.
These transfers are partly due 2 the player's and board's frustration of lack of transfers with high–profile names such as Arshavin and Sagna coming out and saying that Wenger MUST buy.
Big rumour Derby are going to sign the beast aka Mr Parkin from preston to help keep them in the Championship. Also expect a checky loan bid for ctr half the once forest target now with Reading Mills
I have heard on the grape vine that liverpool are looking at niang from marsielle for approx 10mill. also there are rumours coming out of anfield that there is goin to be a straight swap for rodelga (spelling) with ryan babel. rafa will spend in jan for sure and its just a matter of time till he turns it round for the mighty reds.
I just read daily star 2day it says tony mowbrey hoping to get jack wiltshire on loan i hope this is the papers making rumours as he riped us rangers 2 shreds at the emirates tourney
Craig Levein WILL be named as the new Scotland boss within the next 2 weeks. United will then look to Raith Rovers manager John McGlynn (on Levein's recommendation) to take over at Tannadice!

Chelsea have been watching Boruc of Celtic and see him as decent competition for Cech. Will bid 5.5 million and Hilario. Celtic will take the cash but not the Keeper. Good Keeper. Silva and Villa to sign in January £22m and £48m.
Babel to bayern swap loan deal with toni cumin to liverpool...arsenal will sign eitha chamakh, hulk or reports 2day are sayn henry on loan?? pavulychenko is almost certain to move to roma n victr moses is to cumin from palace.manu to move 4 gourcuff n shawcross...clint dempsy is wanted by chelsea which could see them loan s.sinclair n b.stoch as part of the deal.tamudo to wigann is almost a certainty..benjani is off to eitha bolton, blackburn hull stoke.beni mcarthy is bein ruoured with newcastle today on loan wv vie to a perm deal altho its 4t hull , pompy bolton may enter the race.r.koren cud join burnley or bolton on loan.sanchez watt off to albion on loan along with g.hoyte

Arsenal will make Yaya Toure their main target for the upcoming transfer window.Sakho, Subotic or Zapata who has long been linked with us.Arsene will look to solidify the defence as Yaya Toures versatility allows him to play central defence.He was outstanding against united in the Champions League Final.Arsenal will look at Chamakh or Huntelaar, Chamakh may be the cheaper option, who is good in the air and is good target man, Huntelaar is a goal machine but lacks mobility, personally both would do.Hazard is a must a star in the making, wenger will offer 6–8 million.Arsene will assess the situation over the Xmas period to see if Arsenal are good enough to win any trophy.Stoke.Burnley, lpool, Hull, Villa and pompey loom.These games will test Arsenals resolve and will shape Arsenals season.
Got alot of things to put straight on here.
to the guy who said United will keep there youngsters your probably right. then you go on to say Nani to Milan and Vidic to Barca? Ferguson has CLEARLY STATED that Nani's going nowhere. ANND Vidic hs said he's going nowhere. so that one ends there. you also said Shawcross had a United 8 million buy back? how exactly do you know the terms of his contract then?
Rob Green to chelsea? why? they have the best out there in Cech, then they have a good back–up in Hilario and a future great in Turnball.
Now that's out the way heres what i think Ferguson is thinking.
David Silva WAS a possibilty BUT due to the great form of Obertan it looks unlikely.
Villa looks likely according to the papers, if he comes that doesn't mean Rooney Berb or owen will leave the gaffers ALWAYS said you need 4 strikers to win it all. Besides Berb Villa or Rooney Villa would make great teams hopefully.
Akinfeev? i really do hope we sign him but ive got a sneaky feeling that tomasz kuszczak is going to be the new number one. whenever he plays he plays well. so we'll see.
Arsenal will probably get someone in January no–one with a super star name but still likely to sign one or two.
Chelsea have said they won't smash the bank, so im guessing an average striker who doesn't mind being on the bench once Drogba returns. then again you could shift Malouda up front and play Cole wide left?so you really don't know with these guys.
Liverpool? maybe a kid from the championship for next to nothing.
so yeah. bye. jordz142
[note to editor – can you PLEASE get the website to have profiles for posters with some kind of trustworthy rating? would really help? anyway keep up the good work i have a good laugh reading some of the nutters on here]
Theo Walcott to Barcelona.
Not a rumour here more of adding figures together!
After watching henry's performance against madrid his body language did not give off the best of signs. He isn't having a great time at the moment and with reports of a fallout with pep then i can imagine that the reports of him going back to arsenal when they need experience and a striker seems quite a real possibility even more so on loan...
SWP to swap eastlands for villa park plus £10m as Ashley Young goes in other direction.
