Yeovil to get, gavin Williams, rory fallon, hendo, marcel seip, Richard Hughes, shaun macdonald, and maybe a few more. Plus dean bowditch isn't leaving nor is andy welsh. But hopefully nathan smith will !
To the author of the above: let's hope Gav is over his niggles then, Fallon good leader of the line but strike rate not the best, Seip very good but wopuld be very surprised if we could get him, Shaun Mac excellent, Hughes good but much rather get Tutte for balance in the squad creativity and amazing potential, good if true about Bowditch and Welsh but I suspect you are guessing as with the signings, as for saying Smith 'hopefully will leave' are you for real???!!!(3)(9)

No compensation is payable for Gunnarsson. If he leaves and he will probably will, the gaining club will not have to pay a fee or compensation for him(6)(4)

Coventry - an interesting assessment of the Coventry players but the valuations are way, way too high.
Westwood will leave, either to Leicester, Everton or Celtic.
King will leave, almost certainly to Leicester on stupidly high wages.
Gunnarsson is undecided.
Cranie and Clingan will remain the best 2 players on Cov's books but are valued between £250,000 to £500,000 each - The Sky Blues are losing money and need to offset losses. They are in no position to demand high fees.
Turner may command a higher fee but there has been no interest in him at all.(6)(3)

Turner

Keith Hill has dismissed speculation linking himself and assistant David Flitcroft with a move away from Rochdale.
Hill has been linked to the vacancies at Sheffield United and Barnsley, with the Tykes on Friday given permission to make an official approach as they look to replace Mark Robins.
Dale's hierarchy are desperately keen to keep hold of his services, with the board of directors only granting clearance for discussions at Oakwell in line with a pre-existing agreement which is in place with Hill.
But Hill himself is keen to stress that all the talk of him leaving the League One club is only hampering his efforts in the summer transfer market.
He told Manchester Evening News: "I've spoken to a number of players we're interested in but several of them are asking 'will you be there?'. They are interested in playing for myself and David Flitcroft and want to know if they sign will we be staying.(4)(3)

22 May 2011 14:17:56
Alot of people have been saying about their teams chasing players from Coventry City, but no-one appears to have any prices even remotely close to the players real valuations. I thought I'd clear them up.
Kieren Westwood - He will be available on a free transfer if, as expected, he rejects the contract on offer.
Richard Keogh - Players player of the year in his first season and really rated by the manager. Valued at a minimum of 800k.
Sammy Clingan - Has excelled since being given the captaincy by Andy Thorn and is expected to keep it for next season. Will be a vital player in the new formation. Valued at approx 1.5m.
Marlon King - Is currently mulling over a new contract and rumours suggest he is going to sign it. If not, he will be available on a free transfer.
Lukas Jutkiewicz - Was signed last summer, for a fee rising to around 1m. He will not be leaving for the measly sums being touted. Has got better and better as the season has gone on and will be a big player next season. Valued at a minimum of 1.5m.
Martin Cranie - Mr Versatile and has established himself as one of the first names on the teamsheet. Highly regarded by Andy Thorn. Valued at a minimum of 1m.
Aron Gunnarsson - Out of contract, but widely expected to sign a new deal in the next couple of weeks. Has flourished under the new management and will only get better. If he was to leave, any club signing him would be expected to pay a compensation fee of around 1.5m.
Gary McSheffrey - Will not be leaving, full stop. Has only just signed a new contract.
Ben Turner - Before his injury, he was officially the best player in the Championship. Loves playing for the club aswell. Will not be available for anything less than 2.5m.(1)(7)

Everton: David Moyes has confirmed that little transfer activity can be expected. Moyes has been told that he has to sell first before he can buy.
This will not stop him from acquiring Westwood on a free from Coventry, although Celtic are interested.
Nevertheless, the likes of Rodwell will have to leave before money can be spent. Rodwell is destined for Old Trafford but the sale of Rodwell might just force Moyes out of the door, with Villa waiting.
Moyes wants £15 million to spend but admitted
"Next season is going to be incredibly difficult with what is going on."(13)(14)

Arsenal are lining up bids for:
Gary Cahill (15mil)
Scott Parker (7mil)
Karim Benzema (23mil)(25)(12)
22 May 2011 08:19:06
Liverpool are planning bids for:
Juan Mata (22mil)
Eden Hazard (22mil)
James McCarthy (9mil)
Jan Vertonghen (13mil)
Jose Enrique (9mil)
Kevin Gameiro (10mil)
High earners who are only squad players will be cut loose. This includes Maxi (70k/ wk) Poulsen (50k/ wk) Cole (90k/ wk) Jovanovic and (60k/ wk) The wages in itself will save around 13mil/ year and the transfer costs of these (notably old with no resale value) players whould provide revenue of about 10mil.
The "dead wood" will also go: Konchesky, Insua, Kyrgiakos, Degen, El-Zhar and N'gog raising around 10mil in transfer fees and clearing the wage bill by around another 100k/ wk.
The controversial departures will be of Aquilani and Agger. Aquilani will leave for roughly £10mil and -70k/ wk. Agger is well thought of but his injuries are a problem. He will also fetch around £10mil and -50k/ wk.
This total will clear the wage bill of 22mil/ year, and will bring in around 40mil in transfer fees. The new players will add roughly 17mil/ year to the wage bill. The net transfer fee of 45mil - 5mil saved from wages will make total expenditure around the 40mil mark. It will also create re-sale value within the squad due to much lower ages of players in: players out.
With 3 proper CB's, Ayala & Wilson will have a chance
With 3 wide players (including Kuyt) Sterling will have a chance
1 defensive midfielder so Coady will have a chance(17)(14)

QPR to come back in for Danny Graham of Watford next week with a bid in the region of £3.2m + add ons.
Glasgow Rangers also interested with the Scottish club seeing Graham as making a similar impact to that of Gary Hooper at Celtic.
Meanwhile, Watford wonder kid Connor Smith is also on the Glasgow Rangers radar after his Great Uncle (Walter Smith) recommended him to Ally McCoist. Although not expected to be a 1st-team regular next season, such is his promise a bid of around £450,000 to £650,000 should see Watford part with their future superstar as new owner Bassini looks to shore up the Hornets bank balance.
Watford will not announce any outgoing transfers until a set number of season tickets have been sold as that money has been ring-fenced for the temporary ground improvements to be made this close season. A figure in the region of 8, 500 season tickets need to be shifted to cover the cost and it's felt news of sales of star players will dent any hope of reaching that figure.(9)(7)

I have sources close to Bristol City and have never been wrong in 3 years ive known them!
Glenn Murray has had talks with three Championship clubs including Bristol City, it seems to be his signing is depending on Nicky Maynard going or staying Q.P.R have made an enquiry late last night but the club has issued they are NOT willing to sale!
Maynard at the moment is staying so if Murray was to sign it could open up the door for David Clarkson to leave as his talks with Keith Millen over first team football couldnt be guarenteed by the gaffer. It is understood through speculation only tht Motherwell, Dundee Utd and Kilmarnock are interested.
The club has accepted an offer for Lee Johnson from Derby for £300,000 no other offers from clubs so far, although Gary Johnson his dad did joke with media this week he would love to sign him at Northampton, Lee has has talks with Derby over wages and contract length but no decision as he is on holiday at present.
Bristol City as we know are interested in Jordan Spence and Stephen Caulker, Spence has no offer from West Ham at the moment and with his contract up end of this month they seem to be leaving it late, but it is set in concrete if he was to leave Upton Park he would join Bristol City. Caulker is unlikely to come back as Bassong is leaving Spurs and Woodgate is again injured and likely to miss a large part of the new season, Caulker is likely to be a bench warmer at White Hart Lane.
Other transfer targets are Stephen Crainey from Blackpool he is a very good player and would be a good signing but he is another one waiting to see what happens as understandably would stay at Blackpool if they were to stay up, if not Ashton Gate is favourite to pen to paper with him has Millen made him his first target after talks with outgoing chairman Steve Lansdown.
Billy jones from Preston has announced he is leaving them as expected and has held talks with Bristol City and Crystal Palace so decision on what club for him could be made soon but originally got delayed as there has been a late approach from another club rumoured to be Premier Leagues Everton.
Roman Bednar and Nabil Taider Millen is keeping tabs on as to availability and fitness no decision made at present.
George Boyd from Peterbrough is highly rated by Millen but not David Lee (Chief Scout who left this week) Millen is believed to have been keen to deploy him as a winger rather then a striker, where as David Lee didnt think he could compete at Championship level out wide and the dissagreement is one of a few things leaving to his departure but in my opinion his only game as a winger at Championship level was against us and i remember him scoring against us at Ashton Gate and recieved man of the match by the papers following morning. But i think he is another one waiting to see if Peterbrough make it in the play-offs, if they do i believe he will stay as he is very close to Darren Ferguson. A bid of £500,000 is tabled by City.
Keith Millen has sppoken to the board and declared his ambitions to sign a Right Back, Left Back, Centre Half, Creative Central Midfielder, possible Striker and a Winger.
I would imagine someone who can play right wing as we have Woolford and Campbell-Ryce on the left but as Sproule has left Adomah is only right winger.
Danny Woodards a centre half at MK:Dons has been looked at by Millen aswell as Doncaster and Ipswich but is favourite to sign for us as he knows Maynard from his Crewe days.
That is only guarenteed knowledge coming out from Bristol City, but rumoured transfer speculation links us with 4 or 5 other players.
Players such as James Coppinger at Doncaster and Clayton Donaldson at Crewe have been rumoured in the papers but links don't seem to be true, could be true but no appraoch has been made for them yet.
Bristol City likely signings:
LB - Stephen Crainey
RB - Billy Jones/ Jordan Spence
CB - Danny Woodards
CM - Nabil Taider
RM - George Boyd
ST - 1 of Roman Bednar/ Glenn Murray
Although not all deals are expected to go through so im not getting my hopes all i know is Millen wants players in ASAP because of his new pre season programme.
Possible players out:
Lee Johnson - Derby
David Clarkson - SPL
Cristian Ribeiro ? club is worried about his proneness to injury.(8)(12)

Tranmere being linked with these players.
Stephen Darby - Season long Loan.
Miguel Llera - Free.
Martyn Waghorn Undisclosed.
Federico Piovaccari an Italian Striker is on trial.
Bayern Munich are keeping to their word by allowing two of their Academy players to join on a Season Long Loan, Tranmere also have the option of keeping them for an extra season should both parties agree.
Dejan Janjatović: Serbian-German born is a young Midfielder who wouldn't look out of place in a much higher League.
Max Dombrowka: Has skill but needs to learn when to use it in the right place at the right time for a defensive midfielder he has a lot in his locker. He can beat a man but can be too high up the pitch n get court out of Position.(4)(12)

Reuban Reid has docked his wages considerably to join latics and lee croft, clayton donaldson, shane higgs, jason lowe and massive signings sol campbell and paul scholes are set to join latics all on free transfers!

Marine winger, Jon Gillen has missed out on a move to League One side Tranmere Rovers after reports of him being drunk and disorderly in Liverpool city centre in the early hours of Saturday morning. Gillen, who has netted six times and notched up 15 assists in 40 games for Marine this season in the Unibond Premier Division, was told by Rovers manager Les Parry that the deal was off. Parry commented: 'I heard Gillen can't handle his ale and we can't have anyone like that at Tranmere.' Gillen was also rumoured to have been singing Everton songs until at least 2am.
Still on Tranmere's radar, however, is Prescot Cables defender Mike Biddulph. Biddulph, nicknamed 'the Crusher' for his tough tackling, is expected to undergo a medical at Prenton Park next week with a view to signing a one year deal.(5)(6)

I don't understand all these Lambert to West Ham rumors.
Whilst I agree that West Ham are a big club, and possibly don't belong in the championship, Lambert is enjoying his time at Norwich.
Achieving back to back promotions is an amazing achievement and is success he wishes to build on.
Besides, no one in their right minds would want to work for the 3 goons that run the club.(24)(8)
