Stoke city looking in to signing Bruno from Valencia in the summer(4)(15)So he fancies leaving Valencia to play for a team of vile alehouse brawlers then ?...Yea right.Your a bit bitter^^ how are stoke alehouse brawlers, if stoke are that bad how comes theyve attracted some top players to the club?I bet the guy above is an Arsenal fan...I'm not that you can read?!?...The above rumours claims that Stoke are 'looking' at Bruno, nothing about him actually agreeing to join etc..and that 'brawler' style that you have mentioned has kept us in the top again comfortably, so give your head wobbleU seen the fair play league table lately.Is this the same fair play league that is completely fabricated and includes criteria such as fans respect for officials and style of play? If you look purely at reds and yellows Stoke are by no means the worse, in fact they're one of the better. And I suppose not many places compare to Valencia, but it's all about the Premier League.Fuller is a premier league player

Celtic are favorites to buy jordan rhodes and ill tell you why.

1. Jordan Rhodes is a Celtic fan
2. Neil Lennon said today he is willing to pay any price tag huddersfield put on him.
3. Neil Lennon has begged the board for the money to be put on the table for once

jordan rhodes to celtic(13)(57)I personally dont think he will, as its not a great career move, I personally think he will sign for a premier league club. The guy has the potential to play at the very highest level. People can scoff at this all they like but im talking a top european club and I've heard that celtic are looking at him but so are 30 other clubs including Lille,Lyon,psg,arsenal,liverpool,everton,man utd, Athletico Madrid, Valencia, Juve, and Borussia Dortmund only saying in what Ive heard and the reports from France are adament that Lyon are in pole positionWhat i wonder is what ppl would say about him if that does happen. because he seems to be loved by all in epl and fans so would they say he is shiat next year because he plays in spl? because Hooper dosent get respect or any other player for that matter. dont be so surprised if he does go because Celtic can offer first team and CL plus he is a fan.But will this be to replace Hooper or play along side himJordan rhodes is a man utd fan as he comes from, oldham, england not glasgow, scotland!!!Here's reasons why he won't.

1. He won't move to the SPL as it will stunt his career
2. Celtic can't offer to "pay any price tag", you may be rich in Scotland, but you aren't in England.
3. The board can't afford to start making ridiculous transfers. With rangers disappeared as a contender, signings will be hard to come by. SPL was never attractive to play in, expecially now.

Jordan Rhodes not to celticSurely he's an Oldham fan by that logic? He came out in an interview saying he's a Celtic fan but it doesn't mean he'll sign for them.Jordan Rhodes is defo top of Celtic's wish list! But thats as far as it will go! This guy spouting about Elite European clubs is havering! There are at least 20 loitering with intent and to my knowledge the main teams in the frame are Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Fulham! Maybe after a year or two in the EPL the Elite might come calling, right now it's way too much of a gamble! JJordan rhodes grew up in scotland thats why he plays for scotland and his first love was celtic and it would be the best career move regular 1st team football, regular international football ,maybe cl football, better players than jr have been found wanting in the epl.I thought it was only a few days ago that NL said he had a transfer budget of £5m!
Rhodes, in that case, a little outside the reach of the SPL.He is a celtic fan, just beacuse he may have been born in oldham doesn't necessarily mean he is a fan from that area. Also, he definately wouldnt be a Man Utd fan because he isn't from essex!He supports CelticNah celtic have more than a budget of 5 million all you english people think celtic are skint but in reality we are the exact opposite we just wouldnt spend more than 6 million on a player when we have no opposition in the league that is why we will buy jordan rhodes because its the first time we have been in the cl for 4 yearsWhat a load of nonsense. Rhodes is neither a Man Utd or Celtic fan. Rhodes was born in Oldham but spent literally months there until he moved to Scotland. Rhodes just followed the clubs his dad played for so has an affinity with Dunfermline.

As for the transfer. HTFC turned down a 6m offer for him from West Ham in January. If HTFC stay down, he'll be gone with Fulham and West Ham in prime position. If HTFC stay up then they'll only sell him if a silly offer comes in..Rhodes said 2 days ago he would prefer a move to Celtic rather than epl because he wants to build his career and play for his team ( Celtic) before he moves to the prem league. Celtic could afford Rhodes.It doesnt matter who he supported as a wee lad, he is contracted to HUDDS TOWN till 2015, if they get promoted to championship, he may even choose to stay with HUDDS, its not like HUDDS need the money & he wil be playing against better, stronger teams.Are these Celtic fans stupid or something? Spl is worst that the championship! Poor competition when there is only one team in it, also why would he go to Celtic if he has English giants after him the likes of man utd, Liverpool and newcastle? Lastly Celtic cannot compete with the amount of money most English teams have to offer, if he goes to Celtic it will be towards the end of his career but not when he is in his prime.Wish his uncle steve agnew would have a word with him and persuade him to join boro.Ha, man utd and that arent after him, the best team that wants him is aston villa, and they cant buy or anything till they get a manager, Rhodes is a Celtic fan and HTFC have put a 3.5m asking price on himFor goodness sake its not like the whole world is in for jordan rhodes, all you lot are making that out to be the case, quite a few clubs are in for him i must admit but not teams like man utd or liverpool, why would any of they teams go for a league 1 player when they could get nearly any playerIf it is any price tag put on him would u still buy for 2 billion thats wat i thoughtNovak 17 goals played half season on bench Rhodes cudnt tie his boys not to mention assistsHaha English arogance realy makes me laugh. A team that gets 60 thousand fans 2 watch them, can play anywhere around the world and draw a crowd because of there name. Will be playing cl football and was in a european cup final 6 years ago cant sign a htfc player please. Even when scottish teams where reg in euro finals n semis yous english still looked down your noses for a nation 9 times bigger you aint that much better. Why would he go to villa or ther likes? to play mid table maybe relegation footy in a 2 horse lge were money has went silly for poor players. Ask guys like gazza and terry butcher theres not many clubs that have the same passion the old firm is unique.thats why these guys stayed and say it was the best time of there carears. got to play for them then it opens your eyes. By the way before slaggin us off id check the scottish/english head to head in europe!!

James Milner, Hulk, Kyle Walker and Falcoa just a few of Chelseas targets this summer(23)(13) 


 
No chance of getting walkerAgree with the point above, NO WAY they will get Walker. He's just signed a long deal this spring and regularly refers to Tottenham as "a club I love" (not as much as Sheff Utd mind)

 


24 May 2012 22:51:13
Saints agree fee of six million for j rod source daily echo(14)(26)Im a Saints fan, but saying source is daily echo, is like saying source is i saw it in a dream.Only fact the Echo is good for, is that it light bonfires.
Other than that, it is rubbish, and it's treatment of Saints is a disgrace. If it wants to base it's sport section on nonsense it should start reporting on Pompey.Rubbish
Daily echo lost all contact with the football club a couple of years ago

Dagenham and redbridge are close to the signging of Tosan popo after he left Charlton.(6)(0)Charlton are currently talking to 2 German div 1 players with a view to getting the deals tide up ASAP. Sorry don't know who they are thoughGerman div 1 as in Bundesliga?

southampton fc to sign cheque to HMRC more than the minnows down the road can do....gloat...(15)(10)Wee and you posted that on here because ? lolStill couldnt beat us even tho we went down love itLove that reply couldn't beat a relegated team haha did u not play in league one while we were premiership? U forget we won
The fa cup as well so go away n enjoy your moment of glory premier league got boring we needed a challengeAaahhh, premier league, those down the road will be forgotten, whether they still have their heads above water or not.I remember Pompey. They were that 'club' just down the road!^^
LOL you "love that" do you?? Keep scraping that barrel !!You might of won the fa cup but look at what cost it has done to your "club"Your Pompey till JulyJust remember your last 10 years have been a farce (cheats) signing players other teams couldn't by offering more money than you actually had enjoy your new challenge hopefully get you in the cup if not see you in about 20 years 😂😂😂😂😂Pompey is an absolute basket case of a football club. If it were a dog it'd be put down. You had your few years of fun now your back in your rightful place..... Below us!From a barnsley fans point of veiw to have overspent so much they should be kicked out of the league and stripped of there fa cup win 1 okay but twice is just blatent cheating

swansea have agreed a fee with hoffenheim for sigurdsson believed to be 8m with add ons depending on appearances, goals etc so it could rise to 9m only personal terms to be sorted.

also swansea are to entry the race for jay rodrigez with a 5.5m bid

also guidetti is said he wants to move to swansea on loan next season so should be completed in the next few weeks.


swansea team for next season

rw dyer st guidetti/rodrigez lw sinclair(11)(18)No Britton when he was one of the star players last season ? And clearly you have no faith in Graham which is strange considering he scored 14 goals in all comps last season.
Adomah from Bristol City and Matt Phillips been linked. Rodgers is keen to add more competition on the wingsYou won't pay 9 mill for 1 playerJohn Guidetti would not go to you!!!! No offence, brad hereHahah you fools, we havent paid 9 million we've paid 8m with a 1m add on at the end of the season, and yeah he would come to us cause he said he wants first time football, and mate i have faith in them both but at times last season britton was bullied and graham didnt score for 6/7 games which we cant have we need someone to score week in week out ! but i know what you meanWell we clearly will as the deal for Sigurdsson is now agreed?

Burnley are going to take some serious cut backs this summer. Players leaving:

Jay Rodriguez
Kieran Trippier
Chris McCann
Charlie Austin

I know people at the club and this is true.(23)(10)Sounds like we are a selling club once again div 2 here we comeRodriguez , we had resided our selves to losing him anyway, McCann is probably doing us a favour don't think he will ever be the player he was before injury.
Austin, I'm not convinced about up to press he's almost wether or not he can be bothered or not in games and gets bullied a bit sometimes with centre backs.
Trippier , gutted if true.he's still learning at the moment but improving all the timeBull shiWhat a load of crapUnfortunately Burnley will always be a selling club because we don't have the gates (or possible potential) The trick is to make the most of the players while they are on the books and have the foresight tp be prepared when the vultures start to circle. 15 - 20 million for these four is not unreasonableI know people at the club aswel and trippier and Austin are going nowhere , roggy and McCann maybe but the other 2 are not going anywhere trust me !!!Most clubs will cut back to comply with the new finance rules. How long before players and agents work out the only big deals will be in the PremiershipI know people at Walsall. It doesn't mean that what I make up is true. :)Jay Rodriguez - Yes more than likely
Kieran Trippier - only if a high bid comes in
Chris McCann - possibly, but see him staying
Charlie Austin - not a chance he is leaving.

I see Burnley looking to be pretty shrewd in the market as per usual replacing the outgoings with younger, lower league players. Hopefully we find the next seasons gem.The post above is spot on

Leeds are rumoured to be interested in Steven hunt . Warnock said he wants pace in the squad.(4)(23)Hunt was on Sky Sports this morning talking about staying at WolvesHe said today he wants to stay at wolves and help get them back up. also, my nan has more pace than him

Preston midfielder Paul Coutts is set to
sign for Charlton in the next few days.
Having a medical tomorrow. Fee of
£200,000.(7)(5)It will be a lot more than 200k more like 500k maybe 650kOverrated in his valuation by most pne fans, i dnt think anyone will pay 500k for him, but wud b more than happy if they didOver rated hes been one of best all season he still young has alot of potential so yeah he is worth that muchLooked good when we drew 2-2 at Deepdale. will probably go for around 300K - 400K.That's exactly the sort of fee he's worth. One of the best all season in a shocking side doesn't make him a great player

 


24 May 2012 22:05:09
Preston midfielder Paul Coutts has agreed a 4 year deal with former club Peterborough United and will link up with Darren Ferguson once again.(3)(8)Wont happen he is stayin at pne unluckyCoutts has made it clear he wants to leave PNE after his bust up with Graham Westley..it's just down to which club he goes to......Peterborough are the most fancied but there are 2 or 3 others interested

Michael Hector will have what it takes believe me. I've seen him play at youth level and whilst at Barnet last season. As a loyal Royal this is just what we need. Have faith my fellow supporters. In McDermot we trust! Also Michael Owen is 50/50. He has been seen visiting a certain private school near Newbury. With Lambourn up the road for his horses this could be true. Time will tell.

Adam Lallana is off to Reading.

Rumours were on Twitter tonight and Reading fans were welcoming him to the club. Saints vans responded first with questions and then some got nasty.

Lallana has now closed his Twitter account.

No idea of fee, but it will be a record transfer for Reading (currently £2.5m)(10)(37)Doubt it.Well that's complete BS, i remember saint fans saying before that he didn't want too leave. sideways move coming to us as well. i would say there more chance of the defoe or hoilet rumours being true than thisDon't think so mate, he cancelled his Twitter account because someone made accusations regarding his pregnant girlfriend, nice tryOne of the silliest rumours of the dayHe deleted his twitter because some bloke claimed his Missus cheated on him whilst in Zante last year. Why would he go to Reading? lolIm a Reading fan and I cant see this happening. We are around the same standard as Southampton and only finished 1 point above them. I would love to see him in a Reading shirt as he is a quality player but he is happy with Southampton so good luck to both him and the Saints. I have heard rumours about a move for Jason Puncheon however, also seems unlikely as he doesn't fit the Reading ethos.As a reading fan i'd lvoe to see it but there is NO WAY adkins would let their star academy player go!Blatant trolling

Try to neutralise the Saints in here, dont fuel them PLEASE !This is ridiculous. Lallana closed his twitter accoun tbecause some prck started spreading st about his fiance' for the world to see.

Reading couldn't afford to buy our prized asset, unless your willing to fork out £10million for a player that already said no to prem clubs when we were in league1/championship, so why would he say yes to Reading, joint fav's to go down and as boring as a library?You should be on stage! If Lallana were to leave (which he won't be anytime soon) he would not only go to a top 6 club and for a fee of nearer 10m. Silly post.LOL at the bitter saints fan. A library? We were making plenty of noise when ALF put 2 past you at St Mary's. Don't be sad because you couldn't hold on to that trophy despite being top 99% of the season.Reading are 20 x better than Southampton.. I mean didn't we win 3-1.. At s marys?Hohoho, boring as a post. That comes from a saints fan who if you didnt realise we scored 3 at your place and took 4 points of you and 6 off of the hammers.Saying "Why would he go to Reading" is the same as "Why will he stay at Saints as soon as a big offer comes in". He's far too good for both clubs, and before you rip into each other, Saints and Reading are the same size clubs!As a Saints fan, I am not bitter towards Reading as we both had a fantastic season in the Championship! But I don't honestly see Adam leaving Saints for a club in the same position as Saints, he loves the club and the city and if he were to go it would be to a well established prem club and for alot higher fee! AOC, Bale & Walcott all went for the 10-12 Million mark and Adam would be for around the same!!Reading and saints same size is crazy saints are much bigger than reading who have no support. LcfcNo support? the stadium will be full every game next seasonWhy do reading think there a big club saints are much bigger reading have always had no support home or away fact I'm a west ham from tilehurst who have friends who support readingReading were one of the smallest clubs in the championshipTo the reading fan who said you will fill the ground this season what have you got some music concerts on"No support? the stadium will be full every game next season" Congratulations on having plastic fans. Try get some away support next year, so close to the bottom on average away support. st support

chelsea have had a bid excepted for Cristiano Ronaldo, reportedly at 100m real Madrid have stated that they could not turn down that kind of money. the record breaking goal scorer says that he is excited by the prospect of playing with eden hazard and fernando torres {Ed018's Note - funny that Ronaldo would make that statement considering Hazard isnt a Chelsea player}(7)(24)Strange only the other day he said he was happy at Real and staying and there was nothing in Marca or El Mundo today with any comments about Chelsea from himAbsolute bull!no 1. chelsea wont pay mad transfer fees anymore 2.madrid dont need money they are basically funded by the spanish banks 3.ronaldo would not leave madrid for chelsea simple as.jus because yous won the CL does not mean your the best team and all the top players wanna go to you.chelsea are nowhere near the top 5 clubs in the worldYou couldn't make this stuff up.........well except for you that is.Honestly why dont you go back to playing fifa 12? £100million for ronaldo? you'd have to pay double that for him madrid make £100million a season on his shirt sales, okay you won the champs league... well done, but dont think any player wants to play for chelsea. You dont exactly play amazing football do you? You get a new manager every season theres no stability or consistancy at your club, ronaldo will never be a chelsea player...All i can do at this statement is laugh, someone plays way to much footie manager!

Bjorn Bergmann Sigurdarson will travel
to wolves tomorrow for talks after
new wolves boss Stale Solbakken
went to todays game and watched him
in action(13)(11)Reading had a £2m bid rejected.

He has already said he wants PL football.

You're 2nd tier fellas!See where Reading are next season boing boing , what makes you believe you will stay in the premier league ? PS I am a MUFC fan.Wolves have the best chance for going straight back up.Wolves can afford more than £2m for a player, due to our balanced books and the continuing parachute payments by the premier league. In addition to this, the vast majority of the Wolves squad had a 50% wage decrease clause in their contracts if we were relegated. Sigardarsonn has himself stressed that he needs regular football and he is aware that he will not obtain it in the premier league. Also Eggert Jonsson is Icelandic and good friends with him, as well as Stale Solbakken, who Sigurdarson has revealed he admires greatly. Stop being bitter Reading fans!His agent and henning berg have adviced bjorn to join wolves.Apparently everton Hav had their bid accepted for himWell apparently Everton are eyeing a 6 million move for FC Copenhagen striker Dame N'Doye so that would surely rule them out of the running for sigurdarson as they can't afford both!No they have not Everton opened with a 3 million pound offer , Everton are skint and we could out bid them esp if we sell on some payers.

Ross Allen moving to Swindon(3)(4)

West Ham clearout will pave the way for a few possible transfers.

Michael Kightly-Now Faubert has left we will need a new winger. Face competition from Reading.

Keiran Richardson-Has been heavily linked since promotion. Surplus to requirements at Sunderland. Face competition from Everton. Might favour a move to the capital for guaranteed first team football.

George McCartney-Has said he WANTS to go to West Ham. Would be very surprised if this move does not happen.

Michael Owen-Has left Man U and wants first team football. Face competition from a lot of clubs. Seems least likely of the transfers mentioned.

Ahmed Elmohamody-Bid made today (source: talksport)

190298(17)(12)Regarding Kightly , ha.How is richardson surplus to requirement? He is sunderlands first choice left back. The only reason he didnt play for the last 4-5 games was because he was injured and needed an op to sort it.Talksport article clearly states bid to be made in the next few weeks. unless i'm missing where it said bid was made today.....Talksport is not a source. Talksport is a waste of funding and is so far up west hoofs ase it's ridiculous. IT's opinionated crp

Southend have rejected two bids for Ryan Hall in the region of 500k believed to be from Rotherham and Shrewsbury respectively.(0)(6)500k haYour having a laugh 500k dream on dreamer more 50kSome southend fan making up porkies.... Shrewsbury's record signing was Grant Holt 170k, we are hardly going to spend 500k on an average league 2 player.You mean 100k lol 500k haYeah ok then, Ryan was one of the best players in the league Last year!1year. Hes not proven and would want to move up. Your playing Fifa if you think hes going for thatGarbage, Hall is worth no more than 200k. and Southend will take the first offer over 150K - they are skint.Average league 2 winger, Southend will be lucky if they get 100k, deluded fans.Average league 2 winger? 20 assists 14 goals i think that's above average and if your not a southend fan how can you judge how good he is as you won't have seen him playYeah average league 2 player! look at wright 10 goals from the wing still an average player!Try 5 grand the whole squad couldnt fetch 500k and that includes selling that dilapidated roots hall24 goals and neat 20 assists for Mark Wright in 2 years. 50k ish from Rovers. And hes been reportedly sighted at the GMNone of you Shrewsbury fans have seen Hall play except for a couple of times so you can't say much as you don't know how good he is.Shrewsbury fans are just kidding themselves if they think they can get Hall for under 100k. Live in the real world!!!!!Errr Southend aren't skint anymore if your gonna make up b at least get your facts right. Silly shrewsbury fans.Of course he would be sighted at the gm he does play for ShrewsburyShrewsbury fans may be kidding themselves to think we may get him for £100k but Southend fans are totally deluded if they think we will bid £500k for him. Personally I wouldn't pay money for him, plenty of good players on frees available so why break the bank.Im sorry to all of you southend fans out there but any league 2 club would snap your hand off if you offered them 100k for their winger and due to us being in a higher league we can afford to pay higher wages so there is no reason he wont come!Southend fan, as much as i disagree with the shrews fans i can say that my mate knows of ryan hall and his friends and has apparently been staying in a hotel just outside shrewsbury for the past 2 daysHi it's Ryan Hall here I would like to state some things about my future first of all I haven't being staying in a hotel in Shrewsbury and there are no teams that have shown any interest in me which I am pleased about as I do not wish to leave Southend. I'd like to state that i'm 100% fully committed to Southend and will be entering contract talks in the near future to extend my deal beyond next summer UTB.Why lie?Damn! Really wanted him...
Thats pathetic. Obviosly written by a fan. Players do press releasesWhy would hally go to Rotherham when he can stay at the blues? Madness! Average player who gets 19 assits and 15 goals get your facts right

Derby outs:

-James Bailey
-miles Addison
-lee croft
-steven Davies
-chris maguire

I have heard nothing about who is intrested a part from Steven Davies and Chris maguire.

Davies has been linked to blackburn, bolton, burnley, blackpool and surprisingly Preston.

Maguire has been linked with motherwell, dundee (in Exchange for johnny Russell) and also championship side watford.(6)(2)Russell plays for Dundee United not the wee team across the road and will not leave for less than 1.9 million..Hey, don't belittle Preston, we're on our way back!!Got to be automatic promotion next season, OllieMourinhoHahaa . UTC

 


24 May 2012 21:08:07
recently released Salomon Kalou has been linked to a move to everton(16)(11)PSG or Everton..........tough choiceCould move to WBA if Ranieri &Wilkins get the gig ? just a thought.

 


24 May 2012 21:01:16
Watford ins:

- Tommy smith (qpr)
- Chris maguire (derby)
- possible move for James Collins (shrewsbury)

Outs:

- possibly marriappa to reading

That's all I have heard but some might not happen for whatever reasons. Early days yet.(9)(6)Tell us something we don't know.

 


24 May 2012 21:01:12
As I first said 10 days ago, Joel Ward IS joining Ipswich.(2)(19)Why all this fuss over Joel Ward, had Ipswich fans heard of him before he was linked with a move?, he is not Ronaldo after allEven if Ipswich were to sign him, it would always have been his second choiceSecond choice? Lol. Some of you people are priceless. I think I dislike Leeds more than Norwich...at least the latter are a well run club!His first choices were Leeds and BrightonHe's agreed terms and had a medical at Crystal Palace.

Source: East Anglian Daily TimesTrust me, he will sign for palace.Why all the fuss about wardy? you clearly no nothing about anything hes a player to build around a great player to have in the backbone of your club you wont find many with his work ethics c,mon wardy sign for townIt's been confirmed that Ward has NOT had any contact with palace over a proposed moveNobodies first choice is Ipswich is it!Except for the 14 players that came here last year.They had a choice east stirling or ipswich it was a tough one think they all flipped a coin and didnt they do well last year

 


24 May 2012 20:59:28

just went for a look down charltons
trainning ground sparrows lane and
saw jay rodriguez trainging could
possible be having a medical.(1)(35)How much have you had to DRINK tonight mate?? A LOT I THINK!Why would players be training now? Thought the season had finished?

If it was for a medical, do you usually conduct those in the evening?

Hold on, I'll just ask Messi who is training on my lawn!I saw him as well and he told me he wants to come
To us as he sees us going up this season and also Emily Heskey was there as wellAnd elvis ? riding a pink elephantI know this as I was picking up my stuff as I left there and if u wanna know who I am I am Yado mamboGoing to southampton for a bout 6 millWhat a load of Bs, you really need to get off footy manager, I bet you don't even know who he looks likr.

Also he wouldn't leave Burnley for a team that will struggle in championship next season, he Prem boundHe's not going for 6mill when he's in the last year of his contract and doesn't want to renew, 3mill maximumHe's stated he won't sideways move. He'll only go prem if he leaves. good tryHa. U Charlton fans STILL haven't got it. Just because u went from Micky mouse two to Mickey Mouse one doesn't mean you're good enough to buy anyone anyone much kop. Theres being happy u got promited and theres making yourselves look silly.Im a Charlton fan and quite frankly im embarrased at the names of some of the players some people apparently "in the know" think we are signing. Whoever you are,just stop it,you REALLY think we are going to sign players of the calibre of Rodriguez and Le Fondre? We arent,as much as you want it to happen,its not going to so stop making a fool of yourself and CAFC. Thank you.Burnley are a nothing club! Where's your history oh yeah you don't have any I'm a Nottingham Forest fan and I would rather join charlton than Burnley

 


24 May 2012 20:39:46
Aberdeen defender Rory McArdle is being chased up by Southend United and Shrewsbury Town.

Shrewsbury Town are favourites to sign him due to their financial strength.(6)(3)Turner spoke to him today looking very good shrews it is

 


24 May 2012 20:22:21
ED any Reading rumours?(3)(5)Just ridiculous ones. Seemed to be linked with all the players you won't ever get.Dnt think that's true, genuine Reading fans have been rubbishing a lot of the claims on here to be fair and this is just a rumours website. Seen about 10 -15 names max.

Blackpool are interested in taking sylvain ebanks-blake on a permanent basis after the wolves striker was told by stale solbakken he does not feature in his plans with the fee to be between 1.5 and 2 mill with blackpool looking for automatic promotion(15)(13)SS hasn't spoken to any of the players individually yet - he doesn't start until 1st July

 


24 May 2012 20:12:49
Rotherham have completed the signing of Scott Shearer after he rejected an offer from Crawley.(10)(3)100% True Rotherham United official site.No way were Crawley going to offer him a two year contract. If they did get into the Championship after a year, Shearer would be out of his depth. Sensible move.But Crawley won't be in the championshipCreepy offered him a extension and he turned down better lg 1 clubs to come to The Rotherham revolution

 


24 May 2012 20:05:30
Derby county have rejected bids from
Arsenal,Manchester united and
Manchester city for England youth
International Duo Mason Bennett and
Will Hughes.


They have also rejected bids from
Chelsea and Newcastle for
Englnad youth international Kwane
Thomas.


The chairman had already hinted they
are in no posistion to have to be
forced into Cashing in on their young
talents.(10)(5)Learn to spell his name properly "Kwame Thomas".Kwame can go for me i have watched him a few times at reserve level and he was terrible, specially in the derbyshire senior cup when he missed a 6yrd tap tht rolled smooth no bobble

 


24 May 2012 19:49:29
Newcastle United are in talks on signing Kalou and Boswinga who are both set to leave Chelsea on a free in the transfer window.(18)(22)I can see kalou going to spurs.What a load of bcks. To high wages, kalou african, don't need another african striker with ACON. Boswinga over rated, too old and demand too much. Less of the rubbish!Didn't think ashley would pay over their £40,000 wage cap, what a load of rubbishKalou goint to PSG and doubt Bosingwa would go to Newcastle.Kalou wants 90k a week,dream on Newcastle,Ashley will never pay that on wagesWhy would Newcastle want eithe rof them? Both are past it... hence them leaving Chelsea

 


24 May 2012 19:48:20
Charlton are in final discussions to bring Adam le fondre on loan from Reading with the view of a permanent deal. The offer is thought to be in the region of 1.25 million pounds potentially rising to 1.5 depending on appearances(6)(22)And why are we going to sell are top goalscorer, that would be perfect preparation for the prem wouldn't it?
MrRfcLe fondre is our best striker y would hego down a league (and 2 in 2 seasons)!!Why on earth would Le Fondre leave Reading?! You guys are unbelievable, think about it.No chance of that - CAFC missed out on him when reading signed.Have Church instead...Why would we sell le fondre. Don't be stupid, he's a reading heroI think le fondre will be good in the prem hes always seems to be in the right place to finish the chancesYou would'nt this is just some muppet making things up and NOT a Charlton fan I might add

 


24 May 2012 19:09:42
Charlton have made huge strides in the past week regarding the signing of Daniel Powell from MK Dons. Chris Powell has long been an admirer of Powell's talents and the Addicks are ready to snatch the winger from under the noses of their South London rivals from Bermondsey.(8)(7)Surprisingly believable for a change.I doubt we'll be heading for a relegation battle.. We wont get jay rodriguez(cafc fan)

 


24 May 2012 19:01:15
Millwall to announce double signing of Bournemouth's Scott Malone and Preston's Paul Coutts early tommorow(7)(8)Does that involve McQuoid coming to Bmth?

 


24 May 2012 19:00:05
Striker Sean Sonner who currently plays for Non-league outfit, Slough Town, is about to jump up 5 leagues and sign for Championship club Birmingham on a 3 year contract. Apparently Birmingham had scouts watching him throughout the 2011/2012 season in which Sonner scored 18 goals in all competitions.(5)(10)

Fulham emerging as surprise contenders to sign Pienaar after everton revealed they may not have the funds, and Pienaar stated that he would like to stay in London.

Pienaar will be going to fulham along with 5million as part of a deal to sign highly sought after midfielder Moussa Dembele. {Ed025's Note - he will be going to his spiritual home...goodison..(8)(14)Believe the Pienaar to Fulham but surely coast alot more than Pienaar and 5 mill for DembeleThere is only one place pienaar is going, and it is nowhere near fulham. now, three guesses, it's about 230 miles north, he will get his degree, at the school of science, and it will be presented headmaster moyes.Pienaar cannot stand london, this posting is total bol....sHe'll only go to Everton if they can afford it.

Chelsea to sign everton duo Felliaini and barkley (loan straight back to Everton)(2)(24)Not going to happenWhy because everton are such a big club?lol any everton player would snap the hands off a top four club if they came in for them and also kenwright would sell in a heart beat for the right price.and ed dont not post this jus beacuse your a toffee {Ed003's Note - I'm not a toffee, but I do like them}I would imagine that chelsea tranfer plans will all depend on who their next permanent manager is!!!! {Ed007's Note - Why? It's never made any difference before...........}Moyes is gonna appreciate that 55million55million? Presumably you're talking Zimbabwean dollars?

Barkley has no pedigree at all (he's hardly played) and Fellaini? Just don't get itWhy would chelsea want barkley if he has NO PEDIGREE -

Fellaini is awesome!! Although some people don't see it, his close control and composure on the ball is class..

He is much better when permitted to go forward, since everton signed gibson fellaini has been immense!

Drogba Free china
Kalou Free
Bosingwa Free
Ferriera(11)(29)It's possible these players are coming but the numbers are wrong, hazard is not leaving below the 40 M and hulk is certainly not leaving for that amount...He has a buy out of about £80 million I think, HulkNo-one's gonna pay £80million.

They don't have to either - Porto can accept less. Don't be a dingus

Stevenage have made their first signings of the summer window. James Dunne has joined from Exeter City for a small fee as he is under 24 and Steve Arnold has joined from Wycombe on a free transder(8)(4)

 


24 May 2012 17:44:59
Current targets I understand are Michael Owen and Dimitar Berbatov, Grant Holt , DeFoe, Shay Given, Owen Hargreaves (payp basis ) ,Yakubu, Moses,De Yong,Joe Cole,Hangerland and Dempsey,Malouda,Ferdinand, Rodiagga,Ben Arfa,Darren Bent.
Obviously these are only on the list they wont buy them all, but these are the quality of target they are aiming at. Must admit Cisse and Yakubu would be an intimidating pair up front. Dont forget our Argentinian ace in midfield coming back next season. (Faurlin ), Glad to see Buz and Mackie have signed.
Impressed by the list of players let go -- show's Hughes is raising the bar.
C. O.Y. R'ssssss(2)(26)Not a chance with about 80% of that listLooks like some one is smoking the wakey backyAbout 3 of these are genuine targets(Q)uite (P)ainfully (R)idiculous

 


24 May 2012 17:37:58
Ross Barkley to join Burnley on Loan for the season(15)(6)This is true with Jay rod going the other way on a permanent.Wake up and smell the coffee. Barkley is already a better player than Jay Rod so it would be a backwards move for everton. Although Jay Rod may well be at goodison next year if burnley lower the price to £4m

 


24 May 2012 17:34:53
Leyton Orient winger Dean Cox is rumoured to be a transfer target of Shrewsbury Town.(2)(6)A few words, no thanks orientWhat rubbish did you get thet from why would cox drop a league when he is with slade who rates him highly and is wanted by campionship clubsWe're in the same league as Leyton Orient?Sorry forgot you got promoted but I really dont think cox will goHe just signed a new contract anywayConsidering he has not long signed a 3 1/2 year contract and that I do not think Shrewsbury can fork out 500k or more, this is complete and utter tosh.With respect to the Shrews (congrats on your promotion btw) Cox signed a new three year contract last season and would fetch a minimum fee of around £250k, I think that would be a bit beyond Shrewsbury. He also turned down a move to Peterboro a few months ago so I can't see what attraction a move to Shropshire would hold for him.Cox wouldnt go to a smaller club, and if he did leave it will be for championship, hes small but hes not stupid!LOL .. No chance , he has been in the eye of championship teams .. No disrespect to Shrewsbury but it isn't a step up more sidewaysLol this made me laughCoxy is happy at the os and has a good relationship with slade so wont happen.

 


24 May 2012 17:33:01
Ex Shrewsbury Town midfielder Steve Leslie has signed a 1 year contract with Hereford United.

York City have also enquired for Hereford United midfielder Harry Pell.(8)(1)Good luck to them both non league football lol

Id easily prefer Adam Matthews than Gunter! Gorseinon boy!(3)(5)As if gunter would want to join the jacks anyway

 


24 May 2012 17:20:26
Striker steven Dobbie is believed to have asked swansea leave the club this summer if the right price comes in, as he believes his future is else where. It would seem that his favored destination is blackpool after having two very good spells at the club, both the play and fans seem to want the deal to happen.(11)(2)"Striker steven Dobbie is believed to have asked swansea leave the club this summer if the right price comes in"

Blimey, for a striker to ask his club to leave its own stadium just shows you how far player power has gotten.If dobster does go - all at jacks would wish hime well. Sure £1m would get him.

 


24 May 2012 17:12:31
Andrew Williams to resign for Yeovil Town. Major 'U' turn from the player, as some of his much lauded offers haven't materialised.(2)(10)Hes off to swindon townUnlikely given he has said his goodbyes and thanks tonight on our official site!Johnson will reveal it was a wind up to keep the fans on their toes. Will reveal that willo has the number 7 shirt again for this season coming!

 


24 May 2012 17:07:53
Southampton CB Aaron Martin will sign for Crystal Palace on a season long loan deal(11)(6)No chance-small chance if part of a deal for Zaha.Would probably be good for his development but he is a talented youngster who Adkins clearly rates. He'll be needed in the squad and will start a fair share of games I would think so doubt this will happen.
If anyone will go on loan it'll be Seabourne, the prem could be too big a jump for Hin given the year he's had.He wont unless we sign a centreback hes are third choiceDerby want himDerby can forget it!Lol small chance if part of a deal with Zaha - Saints fans need to get the crap out of their eyesWould be a good move for both clubsWe dont want zaha or clyne! zaha is a stroppy little boy with a serious ego/attitude problem. as for clyne, the boy is hugely overrated. lallana tore him to shreds up at dellhurst and adkins targeted him as a weakness which led to both saints goals. as for spud martin a chance to get some more games under his belt. although he has been faultless for saints going from blue square south with eastleigh to the premierleague may be a step to far at the moment. however the boy has got excellent talent and potential and played a fair part in gaining promotion. the saints will need to sign 2 cbs first!

24 May 2012 16:53:19
Arnoud Mendy will join Walsall from Macclesfield this summer. Akinfenwa is a also a possibility from Norhampton with the striker wanting to play at a higher level(3)(2)Hope we get akinfenwaAkinfenwa has one year left on his contract so would command a fee. They turned down an offer of £150,000 from Crawley in January. Therefore, no chance of this happening.Mendy has been linked before and would make a decent squad player if he is cheap. Might make the bench but nothing better than what we already had last season

 


24 May 2012 16:48:56
Altrincham havee accepted a 100k bid for striker Damien Reeves with a 150k add on - teams linked include Doncaster, Stevenage, Oldham, Tranmere, Shrewsbury, Kilmarnock and Preston(7)(3)He is available for a free transfer!He's out of contract.He's out of contract , so won't cost a Penny.Tranmere haven't paid a transfer fee in 7 or 8 years. Preston maybe plausible destination.He is out of contract, why would anyone pay £100,000 for him.....He is on a free transfer so i dont know where you foud that outCompletely agree with the guy above who said that Tranmere haven't paid a transfer fee in 7-8 years. They haven't, and aren't likely to do so any time soonTranmere signed Andy Taylor for over £100,000 about 4 seasons ago and Sam Morrow for around £50,000 the summer before lastFree transferMost likely to rovers cos he lives in doncaster so it probably suits him best

 


24 May 2012 16:45:32
Ross McCormack back to Cardiff City(18)(17)I would like that

 


24 May 2012 16:45:08
Izale McLeod to re-sign for MK Dons after being released by Barnet. Comes with Ian Wright approval(6)(7)Where have you found this from ? Great signing !Its not mk donsIf he went anywhere it wd b mkConsidering he lives in Milton Keynes and Dons don't have to pay a fee for him, it makes this an easy and practical transfer.Believable, possible..

 


24 May 2012 16:34:55
Whoever is responsible for this "rumour" must think we are all a bit "Slow(e)"....(4)(7)

 


24 May 2012 16:32:56
Greek striker Theofanis Gekas could be on his way to the premier league as West Bromwich Albion are interested in signing him on a free transfer.(2)(5)No way Jose!You'll find Albion don't need 1.5 mil and with Olsson probably leaving he'll get a chance. If you hadn't noticed we are now top Midlands club and already pay those wages for reserves.

AGWhen buzsaky has just signed a new deal...... good oneLeeds can't even afford £400k for ward!Shaun Very? Shaun Derry more like

 


24 May 2012 16:07:34
Stuart Beavon's situation is interesting Ipswich, the tractor boys are thought to be willing to pay up to 600K.(4)(5)Are they selling their squad and ground to raise the money hes going to leeds or brightonI hope not!Have a job selling the ground, its owned by the councilCouncil tax owed remember evans threatened to groundshare with lowestoft but wasnt sure he could sell out each week after 15000 empty seats every home game

 


24 May 2012 16:06:26
George Porter will definitely sign his Orient contract this week, but he may decide to go to a championship club instead.(1)(4)That doesn't make sense? Your saying he's deginately signing his contract at Orient then saying he might leave for a Championship?

 


24 May 2012 16:05:26
Hannover striker Mohammed Abdellaoue is seen by Paul Lambert as the ideal replacement for Grant Holt and he has made a £4 million bid.(9)(7)Rubbish

 


24 May 2012 16:03:17
Norwich interested in snodgrass but will have to pay 5 mil+, also Cardiff interested in clayton.(15)(8)Norwich are interested in every Leeds playerNorwich ain't got 5mill what they gonna do sell there squad and ground then there still got to find 4.5 mill not gonna happenClayton would be a good buy for cardiff can't believe leeds transfer listed himDo you seriously think a premier league club can't afford £5m
When they have already spent £18m in their first season back in the premier leagueSquad and ground for 500k that's just a stupid comment . I don't really rate him anywayJealous much? whats the matter? gutted that you're gona lose your best player to a better club?I hate everyone that says we haven't got money. Lambert has been told he can have the same transfer budget as last year.

Pilkington - £2 million
Morison - £3 million
E Bennett - £2 million
Vaughan - £2 million
Ayala - £1 million
Howson - £1.5 million
R Bennett - Upwards of £3.5 million.
We also signed 2 loanees on loan for the entire season.

That equals £15+ million in the kitty and that's before we freed up wages by releasing players and letting other players go. I'm sure Barnett and Chris Martin will be sold.

Conclusion - we do actually have money to spend.Why do people come on her saying Norwich have no money? it makes no sense. are they ex journalists for the 'news of the world'?Would love Snod & Clayton for BluebirdsIm so over the idea of Snodgrass. Im not sure he has the pace to trouble many defenders. Looks like a star in a poor team in the Championship, fitness not good enough and dont think hed bring enough to justify his price tag. I think Norwich can think bigger than him.Don't get all this fus over Robert Snodgrass, he's alright but he's not as good as Pilkington and Bennett so why would Lambert spend £5 million on a worse player?Because he would be a significant upgrade from Crofts and then we would have 8 amazing midfielders, something QPR can only dream of!

 


24 May 2012 16:00:15
I have it on good authority that Reuben Reid is interesting Ipswich Town.(7)(4)

 


24 May 2012 15:59:08
Norwich City are to top contenders to sign Norwegian striker Mohammed Abdellaoue and have agreed an undisclosed fee with Hannover
The player will fly over to discuss personal terms some time in the coming days
Norwich fans will be able to have a look at their new star when he plays for Norway against England in this upcoming international(11)(6)Should think it would be easier to sort it out while in England than flying back again.Hope its true good player lambert does know german league wellMight be some substance behind this one seems like a realistic dealSounds very promising. They should go for John Guidetti as well (Swansea are apparently trying to buy him off Citeh).

 


24 May 2012 15:58:43
Liverpool are close to completing a £14m move for Gaston Ramirez. Liverpool are sending out a bad message IMO signing a player without the new mans consent. Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has warned Roberto Martinez that he may have not have full control, Chelsea have had a similar system in place for the past couple of years and players such as £30m Andrey Schevchenko and £50m Fernando Torres have failed spectacularly. Liverpool are also in the hunt for free agent Maynor Figueroa to replace the outbound Fabio Aurelio while players such as Gary Hooper,David Hoilett and Lassana Diarra all fit FSG's moneyball criteria and are being considered. Louis van Gaal has been offered the role of Sporting Director but it is rumoured he would much prefer the managers job, the two front runners for that position are Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rodgers who is still keen despite rejecting FSG's initial approach.(4)(7)So sad a great club like liverpool are short changing loyal fans,matinez or rodgers are not the standard we require dalglish would have turned it round,now there has to be doubts.Maynor Figeroua has a year left on his current contract with Wigan, so he isnt a free agentI'm not 100% sure, but I think Maynor still has another 12 months on his contractFigueroa - a free agent? I don't think so...The reason why we are in this mess is because Dalglish over spent on average British rubbish, that why he got the chop, as the owners couldn't trust that he could buy value for money instead of wasting money on a stupid xenophobic policy.Deluded as ever, so no change there.

 


24 May 2012 15:43:22
in my opinion plymouth should sign logan released from ex@%$r and mcleod who was released from barnet as the two main strikers next season.(2)(4)Unlikely with the offers for mcleodI think plymouth should use some of there younger strikers like jarred sims and vassell as these to players have scored goals for fun in reserve and youth team games, also be nice to see some local players firing plymouth back up the leagues :)

 


24 May 2012 15:39:14
Watford are taking a look at Northwood FC striker Oliver Hawkins who was in impressive form last season, finishing top scorer for the woods. At the age of 19 he has plenty of potential and would not cost much money. {Ed025's Note - cheers olie(3)(2)

Aston Villa/ Fulham closely monitoring Craig Dawson with a view to offer £1.5m and offer £12000 a week 3 year contract after his impressive spell with England u21s and lack of opportunities in West Brom 1st team(3)(8)Ironic that Villa would supposedly offer a player a deal because of 'lack of first team opportunities'. Anyone who saw Villa stink the place out two seasons running would have seen the pure definition of those words.Villa no chance,fulham 3 million.although he will probably feature on a more regular basis for the Baggies next season.Villa pfffft hes at top club in mids int guna take step backwards be in out team this season haha villa good oneTop club in the midlands? Sorry but even as a Newcastle fan - you are having a big laugh baggies fan..
aston villa will always be the top midlands club.Albion have always been the top midlands clubNewcastle are the top team in newcastle, why will villa always be the top club in the midlands ? enlighten us.Do we have to point out where we finished compared to where Villa finished?No way would we let him go for that amount! Stop making up silly rumoursTimes have changed toon fan new boys in Ctown now lad,Watch this space return of aston villa i see fast approaching.

shearerthegod77Baggies fans are fuuny.... u may have had 1 slightly better season but that doesnt make u top dog.... ur seaspn was a success, villa's was a disaster what does that tell you....Totally agree, look through all of history of midlands side , villa always come out on top.
They are just having another dip season as they did 20-30 years ago. They will come roaring back as always.^^ That villa have a poor team and couldn't compete?Only one place villa are heading and it isnt up losing like 56 million last year. Dunno why villa think theyve got a Devine right to the prem cus they don't. Times are changing...Return of aston villa haha classic sign of the times boys villa to go down bext season should of gone this year lucky we kept ya up, mick mcarthy next vile managerAston villa arent even the biggest club in birmingham let alone midlands, boing boing ;)

Preston North End have held contract negotiations with striker Nathan Elder.

Elder is a proven goalscorer in League 1 and Graham Westley is said to be a big fan.

Preston's Conor McLaughlin has also agreed to join Shrewsbury Town on a 2 year contact.(7)(9)Would welcome McLaughlin back to Shrewsbury any dayElder is ste, conference footballer although Westley might be interested in Elder because he is so physical.Only thing Elder is proven at is being rubbish.Westley see's him as an ideal target man.An ideal target man for fans abuseWestley's dream signingSorry but if preston are to get out of the league they must give elder a big miss he is one of the worse players to enter the field of play preston have sign some very good players the last few weeks and must be favs all ready to win the league but forget donkey

Crystal Palace hope to complete the following signings before pre-season training begins:

Henri Lansbury - Loan with a view to a permanent deal
Joel Ward - 400k
Paul Hanlon - 200k
John Flanagan - Loan
Luckas Fabianski - Free
James Vaughan - £1.5m
David Norris - 600k
Paul McShane - Free
Graham Dorrans - £1m
Leroy Lita - £2m(12)(36)Ur having a laughY flanagan when they have Clyde, don't make up bull you pile of crapGraham Dorrans £1M. Classic!Weres the 5.5 million coming from?Fabianski! how deluded are you?!No chance whatsoever with most of those...Henri Lansbury no
Joel ward maybe
Only ones that are realistic are mcshane and norrisAre you serious!, dorrans is worth a lot more than that, and not 1 of those players would ever go to palace!I think you can 4get Henri Lansbury, he is wanted by West Ham & Norwich.
Maybe he might choose Premiership over Championship football.Vaughan sounds realisticHope to sign, not definitely will sign! i didn't post this, but not all of these are out of the realms of possibility. Most are thoughPalace havent spent 5.5 m in total since they were last in the prem, why would they now?I'm a Palace fan, will quickly give a summary on some of these-
Fabianski- We have a quality first choice and back up keeper in Speroni and Price, we don't need Fabianski, his wage demand would be way to high for us anyway.
Vaughan- Has been a bit-part player for Norwich, relatively realistic, though for 1.5 million, I doubt we'd spend that on the one player.
Lita- Same with Vaughan, realistic, though we just wouldn't spend that kind of money on the one player at the moment.
Dorrans- Would be nice, though for a million, we have no chance.You have no money for fees or wagesWe do have money for fees and wages. We arent in administration anymore ffsVaughan was only a bit part player for Norwich cos he's been injured for best part of the season. Now getting back to fitness and will feature regularly for Norwich next season!

Looks almost certain that Liam Trotter is joining Brighton. Cash + player. (Vincelot or Harley possibly)(10)(7)Can't see that happening when Sunderland and Wigan r watching trotterHope so, looked class against us last season. Millwall will be very disappointed if they take Harley. Vincelot would be a loss though, good utility player to have around.He won't join us when there are big teams wanting him

Jay Rodriguez will only be leaving his beloved Burnley this summer for an established Premiership team, he will also be staying up north. As a saints fan I am gutted but Everton seems his likely destination provided the price is right.(13)(14)I love it when people pretend to be fans of other clubs.....Everton can't afford to spend that sort of money! 8m for a player out of contract next season is ludicrousJay rodriguez .... he's one our own !Your not a Saints fanOut of contract next summer yes . however he said if he doesnt go he will sign another extension lmao4m (rising to a possible 5.5) + Anichebe - DONE DEAL

Yeovil Town are interested in Ebbsfleet's highly rated young winger Michael West. His deal at Stonebridge Road comes to and end in June and would make a good addition to Gary Johnson's attacking options.

Charlton are linked with the following:

Lee Cook (QPR)
Danny N'Guessan (Millwall) No swap
Sam Baldock (West Ham)
Anthony Wordsworth (Colchester)
Jay Rodriguez (Burnley)
Joel Ward (Portsmouth)
Michail Antonio (Reading)

3 of these players are in final discussions with the club.(5)(37)This post made me literally laugh out aloud. The delusions of Charlton fans never cease to amaze me. Rodriguez to Charlton? Made my day!Jay rod? some of the crap posted on here is ridiculous. why would he turn down the premiership and choose togo to charlton and be involved in a championship relegation battle?Jay rod not going to another championship club, go back play footy managerNo way are you getting jay rod on his way to prem and Antonio wont be a permCertainly not Jay-he will go to the Premiership.Linked by whom?Definetely not Rodriguez. He's class and prem quality by a mile. The others are decent targetsI think we can guess which 3 they are!!Jay Rodriguez..... Time to wake up, sleepy headJay rodriguez!?!?!? Lol!! That is top quality rubbish! Brilliant!Made me laugh too that one. Also why would Antonio go to Charlton when he could either fight for a place in the reading team for prem or go to Sheffield Wednesday where he has said is the only place he would go if reading doesn't work out.Michail Antonio will sign for Wednesday.I also heard thisJ Rodriguez? sorry but be realHaha theyll never get jayBaldock wont be going south of the river u mugLook stop taking the pee out of charlton fans--the rodriguez rumour is true i can clarify it aparantly we and southampton are both interested in signing the player and has been shown around the training ground in new eltham this fact i do know to be true!several of the current squad were exciting at the possiblity of us landing rodrigues but any deal will have surely be paid in stallments for when reach the prem league.Charlton are also interested in danny n guessan but millwall also want him back the 2 who i think will join are wordsworth and boyd with also a very big name player ariving as my mate steve friendly with j our chairman whos out in dubaiWordsworth won't go to charlton, he's to alike Jackson in ways. Don't need to of the same at the expensive price he'd cost (around the 800k mark)Typical deluded charlton fan !!The important word there is 'linked' he didn't say we have bidded or are after, I agree with this post we have been linked with all of these apart from ward which is the first ive heard, we won't sign Jay rod but we've been linked so DEAL WITH IT!LINKED ?? Linked by who ? Playing football manager does NOT count !! The championship is a massively difficult league, Charlton will have had a good season if they remain in the league. Now please stop embarrassing charlton fans and stop dreaming !!Do you Charlton fans think you are the next Man City or something. You think that because some drunken baboon links you with a player destined for the Premier League that you will get him. We all have news for you. You are in the Championship. No one would want to take a sidewards step to a newly promoted team in the Championship, its common sense. Maybe some League 1 players but other then that, dream on you delluded Charlton fans.Burnley have no money and don't have the ambition to get printed, charlton have a 3 year plan to get back in the prem and it's will not be a side step, staying at Burnley will ruin his career, also your all deluded claiming your players are all prem qualityJay to charlton ! installments we have been ripped off on these before re bolton still haven't paid all of the eagles mears and coyle davis compo . when will our board learn . pull your finger out . get a chairman sorted so eddie can do whats needed .Wordsworth would play CM surely? JRod I cant see coming to the club - Southampton will sign him if they don't land Hooper.Deluded claiming all your players are prem quality .... who said that all burnley players are prem quality ... im a season ticket holder at turf moor and have been for 5 years . i dont think all the burnley team are prem quality . possibly 4 are . i agree with the youth policy eddie has . i think a few more experienced yet young players from the championship and burnley would fly in this league but all depends on money coming in to the club and how much eddie gets to spend .

Steve Coppell trying to use his past links to bring Nicky Shorey to Crawley.

Arsenal to sign M'villa and Gotze this summer but will miss on Hazard as the player wants 200,000+ per week. Christian Eriksen also in arsenal view with a bid of 18-22 million needed to secure the player due to ajax looking to have lost Vertonghen to either of the two north london clubs.
Expect M'villa to sign for 12million and gotze for 20+

Chelsea set to bid 100m euros to release Hulk from his contract at porto.
Drogba has a number of clubs in hot pursuit although juventus are among favourites to sign him after drogba admitting dis-interest in moving to China. Also on Champions league winners radar is brazilians ganso and Sao Paolo player lucas moura.

Liverpool set to keep luis Suarez and sign fellow international forward in order to improve the number of goals at annfield.

Man utd and Man city in battle for both Eden Hazard and Gonzalo Higuain - who is also sought after by both milan sides -.

Modric is pledging future to Spurs after euro 2012 with Tottenham also looking to sign Jan Vertonghen.
In lesser news Kilmarnock set to engage talks with Hasslebaink , dean shiels and peter leven.

Rangers want to sign Ian Black and are in talks with administrators to piece together a way of signing the midfielder even though they are under transfer embargo.

Celtic to recieve bids of between 8-14 million for Gary Hooper from ; norwich , southampton and aston villa providing that villa get a substantial manager.(8)(15)Haha what you have just said is laughable arsenal have given up on gotze as he's said he wants to stay with the champions of Germany. Porto have said they will except £38 mill for hulk, and chealsea are leading the way for hazard now they have won champions league. And dont even get me started on all the players you think arsenal will be getting. The hooper to saints deal is the only one with any substance.100 million for Hulk?!?! Chelsea have already said that they don't want to pay more than 30 million. This isn't fifa 05 mate.You're as mad as a box of demented frogs.No-one will pay more than 6 mill for hooper.Not even worth discussing what you have written, seriously deluded if you believe a lot of them. Only ones that could turn out right are m'vila and hazard, the rest are pure fantasy.Why would Norwich blow practically their whole transfer budget on Gary Hooper? He played in the testimonial and was poor, We are looking for a ST but no more than a 5-6m bid!Considering Southampton are preparing to bid £7million, I'd consider that as untrue'No-one will pay more than 6 mill for hooper.'

Then no one will sign him then.
£10m, then we'll talk.Hulk 100 million no, closer to 40 million
Gotze 20 million, try 55 million and why leave dortmund for arsenalM'vila will go for around £25m as im sure a bid of £20m was rejected."Why would Norwich blow practically their whole transfer budget on Gary Hooper? He played in the testimonial and was poor"
well i guess ppl are judged in a game that dosent matter then eh? after a full season of 40+ matches in which he scores against top italian side and have 29 goals in the season meaans nothing because he didnt give it his all in a nothing friendly? you are a JOKE and if you watch the game you would see him taken the ball holding it up and making great and smart passing to open up the play. in that game Celtic had under17 and 19 players and maybe 3 regualrs playing yet they only owon 2-0....going by epl and english team playing against under 17 and 19s should have one 10-0 but they couldnt. Hooper is 8-10 mill at least because the only person to score more then him is RVP, if you dont think so then i would llike to know what you think carroll is worth?35mill?15mill, for he scoared 4 goals, tell me that?Gotze has signed a new contract, so please making up fiction.Why Kilmarnock set to engage talks with Peter Leven?The SPL is so crap compared to the English leagues. why would someone pay about £10 million for a player who is virtually championship standard?Championship standard ? Andy Carroll ringing a bell. hooper scored more goals than him when both were in the championship and has continued to score both in spl and europe. english premier league is better we all know that but the spl does have good teams and good players. Jelivic hasnt done too bad at everton now has he. get a grip of your english ttness and just admit that hooper is a good player and 8 mil would be a good price for him8 Mil at a stretch i could see. But no more. We have seen 10 players move from the SPL to England and fail for every Jelavic. Im not saying Hooper would fail, but scoring in the SPL isnt that impressive. I think he is a similar standard to Grant Holt at Norwich, albeit a lot younger so would think with the correct service maybe a 10-15 goal a season striker. So yea ok, 6-8 mil would be a decent fee. 14 mil though? You cant be serious Papiss Cisse only cost 10 mil and hes twice the player.Are you really still comparing Carroll and Hooper from their time in the championship? Talk about clutching at straws? That was ages ago!
Jelavic is a good striker who moved to better himself as a player and advance his career. And??
The SPL has one decent-ish club, one bankrupt club and the rest are atrocious. I watched some of the Scottish cup final. No exaggerating it was league 1 stuff!
Of course the jury is still out on Hooper. He has scored a hatful but only against championship and SPL opposition. A few goals in the CL Qualy's and warm up groups doesn't say too much, he can only have a true valuation when he plays regularly against decent defenders.
But, the rest of the planet will admit that he's good for you if you in turn admit to us that Celtic aren't the footballing giant you lot bleat on about. Deal? Go on. It might be quite liberating!The Scottish league is still awfull, wheather he can cut it in the premier league we'll see, but this is the first I've heard of Norwich wanting him, thought only saints were looking at him, it looks likely he'll end up a saints for around 7-8m.

West Ham after Robert Snodgrass of Leeds and ex-Leeds player Max Gradel(16)(19)Gradel went to France because he was homesick, he isn't coming back to UK anytime soon and if he does he will go back to Leeds. Snodgrass may leave Leeds and if he does it would likely be a northern teamSnodgrass will go to Norwich and Gradel is happy in france plus he's too good for the hammersWe will see we will battle it out for snodgrass with u bit to much to say you aint got any money bout u r buying this n that

Barnsley are interested in signing 3 new strikers to replace Andy Gray and create some competition for Craig Davies:

Eddie Johnson (would be available for free, has Championship and International Experience, as well as pace)

Darius Vassell (available after Leicester released him and would bring a poachers instinct, which we've sorely lacked this year)

Kayode Odejayi (former Barnsley player, knows the club well, struggles for goals but can act as a target man for someone to play off, much like Bogdanovich used to. Cheltenham are ready to let him go for nothing to get fresh strikers in)(0)(19)Odejayi signed for Rotherham last week!Is this the same kayode odejayi who has just signed for rotherham ?Odejayi plays for Colchester and signed for Rotherham last week....Kayode Odejayi has already signed for Rotherham United this summer.Jesus Christ man stay up todate Odajayi has been playing for Colchester for the last two years & signed for Rotherham a week ago.Odd job aint good enough and is off to rotherham and the other two player will cost too much in wages for us so try againNumber 1. Odejayi was at Colchester
Number 2. Hes Signed for RotherhamIs this a wind up Kayodi gone to Millers and how old is Vassell?Kayode Odejayi has joined Rotherham from Colchester on a free already.The striker Barnsley will sign will be Chris O'Grady from Sheffield Wednesday.Barnsley lacked everything last season, they were nearly relagated!Vassell was released by Stoke and not Leicester,, and he's talking abouit coming back to Ipswich see TWTDThere speaks the voice of experience!!!!, Barnsley at times played some fantastic football, but unfortunately the times were few and far between, but bench mark was set ,against derby the first half was fantastic one nil distructionVassel released by stoke. Is that the same vassel who was playing against us for leis last season? MupetBloody hell, odejayi left cheltenham in 2007 and has had 3 clubs since. have you been in asleep for 5 years?We wouldn't need three strikers to replace any Gary, dusty bin could replace the lumbering cart horse!!!!

Solid & dependable, wins aerial balls time after time.He is shocking! anton ferdinand will dodge shots coming towards him and when going forward looks very nervy. at west brom v qpr last season i wouldnt have been surprised if they bought him off in the first 10 mins!

Southampton have upped the bidding to 6m for Jay Rodriguez. The bid is again expected to be re-buffed as the Clarets are holding out for around 8m for the Burnley born striker.

Lancashire Telegraph.(23)(16)Burnley say they have had no bids from anyone-local papers in Lancs. about as good as the ones in Hants. All info. found in the bottom of a gin glass!Rodrigues aint worth 8 milion
6 million topsVery good prospect but as a Saints fan I cant see us breaking our transfer record (previously 4 mil for Rory Delap...didnt even know he could take throw ins) for J-Rod... From what I've seen looks good but i think 8 million is the usual valuation to scare clubs off.He is worth 8m without a shadow of a doubt! Connor Wickham 12m......Now ur havin a laugh!!Hooper,Rodriguez or Rhodes?Rodriguez

24 May 2012 10:51:51
Saints have bid in excess of £6m for Jay Rodriguez. Dont put 'unbelievable' until you look at the daily echo website...suggest they want £8m - for someone with only 1 year on contract and not really proven i think £6m is steep and i am a siants fan...£4m seems fairer to me...(8)(22)Don't believe the Daily Echo!Might seem fairer but if you don't hit 8m he'll be going nowhere.No way will he go for £8m especially if theres 1 year left on his contract. Daily Echo are wrong btw...no bids made yet.We will see but my bet is that he will not be sold for that much - it is not like Burnley are exactly rich...How much do you dreamers value lambert and Lallana at. Seriously, Jay Rod for £8million is a bargain!Burnley would be mad to hold out for 8m under circumstances. Tops of 6 million. And that's generous! I'm not convinced he's any better than sharp or lee.Yeah, Burnley aren't that rich. Which is exactly why they'll hold out for £8mIf Jay doesnt leave this summer he will sign a 12 month extension to his contract as he wants Burnley to get the maximum amount for the club he supports and loves. From Jay himselfJay rod will be sold for £8m, no question about that. but to a club who can afford him ... not southampton if hes any ambition who cant afford him..... jays a top player and will play for englandHave a look at the quote from Burnley-no bids received for him!!

Echo is useless-only yesterday trying to stir it up about season ticket prices. They are the ones who fell out with Saints and until they eat humble pie and get some ethics their info. will be rubbish.I no what your saying about Lallana and Lambert mean to our club. Lambert goals got us to the prem so he is priceless, however so Jay Rod is the same to you. However money talks and the fact is he does only have a year remaining on his current contract and wether you like it or not he will leave you this summer, not saying he will go to saints but he will leave. as for what he is worth 8 mil for a player with a year on his contract does seem a lot. I cant see any club paying that which means unless he signs a new contract he will go next season for free or maybe a tribunaral because he is under 24If burnely don't sell him this season he will be going on a free next season, and you will have lost 6milion, face it, the odds are he will be leaving this season or he will go next season for nothing!

West Ham are in early-stage talks with Saint-Etienne over Max Gradel(9)(16)Why would they buy a player whos been released by dirty leeds mutch lower stanards when they can buy someone like vaz teIf max gradel decides to come back to england he has already stated to the french media that it will only be leeds and his feelings for the whites will never change.Leeds have no money

Ipswich in talks with Ricardo Fuller about making a return to PR, since his release from Stoke, also we are linked with Brad Guzan againg as he's been released by Villa(13)(4)Slagging off stoke again as usuall cuz ur own club is ..... we game plenty of money you person that's why we are in the top 3 in the prem standings for low debt. But either way we'll push on again with a couple more signings as we did with crouch etc. All good here an that's what you all hate FACT.Have heard the Fuller rumour from the Brit and Danny Collins from StokeWho is slagging Stoke off? There's one child who posts the same old nonsense on nearly every Stoke post but good that he cares so much :-)

I think Stoke will make some good Summer signings once they clear out a few fringe players

michael appleton will be appointed the new boss of manager of west brom, fact.
he is big pals with dan ashworth, and dean kiely(9)(7)As an albion fan I can say this wont happen, Appleton is highly regarded by the albion board and see his as a potential manager of the FUTURE, he wont get chance to have the job till he's more experienced. Albion want to replace Hodgson with someone who has managed at the highest level end of. so no appleton, mccines (spelling), di canio or poyet!Appleton is set to join and is in the process of signing a contract with West Brom

Family and friends have confirmed this.We all know that's not happening

if huddersfield get promotion against sheffield united dean hoyle is set to spend 8million to push the club towards promotion to the premier league. his targets according to graysons son are :

ross mccormack (leeds united )who grayson brought to elland road
jermaine beckford (leicester)
grant mCcann (peterborough)
dean lewington (mk dons)
Ricardo gardner (bolton)
and before you all start yes huddersfield can afford it our chairman has 370 million you wait and see?(7)(26)Ridiculous.It's not whether they have money or not, it's the fact that the clubs a lot smaller than most of the other teams in championship. It has reached its peak and no one will come.Chimp. Those players are not capable of getting ANY team out of the Championship, except downwards. Deluded Yorkshireman strikes again!Interesting point, your not an attracive proposition for a player looking to further their career. Why throw good money after bad?Just because your chairman has a personal fortune that doesnt mean he will spend spend spend. Could you really afford £4Mill for Beckford and then match his current £40K/week wages? i dont think so!It doesn't matter anymore how rich an owner is, the new finance rules operating from next season restrict both how much an owner can invest and set an maximum loss allowed.Thought Gardner had retired ? Could be wrongI wouldnt be upset to see Lewington go for the right money, Chicken is growing in confidence and Dean is getting on. We could use the money to buy a decent right back!Unless your a Huddersfield fan like me you don't understand how much money we really haveWhy haven't you used it then ..I'm an HTFC fan - what that guy has put is utter guff. Hoyle IS wealthy to the tune of 154m. However, he's not going to bankroll the club to silly amounts such as Beckfords 40k pw wages. He IS after Grant Leadbitter should we get promoted, but again there's stiff competition for him.Hudders do not have any money,the owners money is not the same thing,hudders make a loss every season so will have little sway under the new rules.anyway you are not even in championship

Charlton's Chris Powell is trying to bring in Southhampton's Jason Puncheon. Powell is also looking for a CM with some championship experience. Powell has expressed his desire to keep the bulk of players that gained promotion but will be looking to tweak things here and there.

Everton could complete a 7M move for Jay Rodriguez over the weekend with Everton youngster Ross Barkley joining Burnley on a season Loan as part of deal(23)(21)If this deal was too happen I would be over the moon, no doubt Jay Rod deserves a shot at the premier league and will fit in perfectly at Everton. Plus were getting a wonderful talent who can only improve and go back a better player.Haha everton have not good 7M to spend hahaLanc Telegraph reported that Everton will have to sell before thay can buy Jay Rod, so I cant see it being this weekendWe havent got 7mill certaintly not for a chamionship player, and barkleys going to be an important player for us nxt seasonThis would be a good deal and the right move for jay if he does decide to leave as long as burnley get the full amount to spend on playersSign on the line please.......No way will you get 7million and Barkley on loan for the season, maybe 4.5mill and Barkley but not 7 million4.5 million and Barkley on loan ? Y would we do that ?Because Barkley is quality and would improve your team, and 4.5mill for a replacement for jay rod who is in the last year of his contract. Nobody is going to pay 8million for him when he's in the last year of his contract.Jay has already said that he could sign a new contract with burnley so that's y we r holding out for 7-8 million for him , if no body offers that amount then he will be here next season

Their obviously rubbish cause you can't concentrate on themDoomed? clearly a leicester fan... you offered 6M but it didnt matter if you offered 10! fact was he was never going to sign for you anyway and it was a sidestep, which he actually said in an interview which you can find on the bristol city player archives, before you mouth off about how rubbish we are and how 'supposedly great' you are then take into consideration that we did the double over you

Stoke look certain to sign Romelu Lukaku, Jermaine Defoe, Matthew Jarvis a LB a RB and a CM in the summer(16)(16)Do you want to bet me a fiver that you don't get any of these - because we both know - this is your made up wish list!Lol yeah chelsea will never sell lukaku you may get him onloan but you couldnt afford him even if he was for sale lol what a dreamerLukaku is a done deal agreed a year loan not signed in January, Jarvis almost certain, Defoe will come if Huth goes the other way, as for the rest yeah your right a wish list!The plan is to get Lukaku on loan for the season.Lukaku is a loan deal/ and its apparently pretty much confirmedStoke asked the FA for special permission to sign Lukaku on loan in Jan...........was even on SSN but they rejected the deal under the 3 club rule despite Lukaku not playing for Chelsea. Of course it's a loan deal . Jarvis has had contact with Stoke as has Defoe so before some of you say no chance etc learn your facts. Not saying all will happen but the original post holds water.Yeah right Chelsea without a manager are making decisions to loan out a young star before they appoint a manager, where do you come up with this rubbish about pretty much a done deal, your chairmen has also told Pulis that he will have to sell players to generate funds for any players coming in.
So lets see ? Jones you paid 9M for him I think, and you would be lucky to get half that right now, he scored one goal this season so even half the 9M looks generous, Jerome you paid £3M for him and you would be lucky to get that back assuming someone actually wants to buy a player who scored 4 goals this season.
Defoe will move if he wants first team football and I suggest QPR would jump in for him, and likely offer him the salary level he would expect, also he can then stay in London clubbing and chasing all the wanabe wags.To the smart arse above- Stoke have had negotiations with all 3. Stoke and Chelsea agreed a loan for Lukaku in Jan and special permission from the FA (was in the media including SSN) for him to join on loan but it was refused. Jarvis looks a good bet to be joining Stoke and even Pulis has mentioned him as trying to land him before and Defoe has publically mentioned his loan to Stoke that Harry blocked in Jan but was with a view to a permanent deal. Think and learn what you're on about before you try to act smugKenwyne Jones has scored 7 goals this season and he cost us 8 million and cameron jerome cost us 4 million so why dont you get your facts rightStoke almost signed defoe last summer, so he is very much a possibilty no matter how much people think its un-realistic'your chairmen has also told Pulis that he will have to sell players to generate funds for any players coming in.'

Not exactly what he said at all...........he's told him to get rid of players before increasing the squad which they are currently doing. He hasn't said that money for players will be generated by sales alone.

I am sure Guly will play a huge part in the team next seasonHaha...I'm a saints fan and even I think that is hysterical lolIf onlyHope but i think celtic would want more money considering guly is awful6 million for both! Not likely unless you value guly at like 3-4 million. Lol. Not a chance.I'm a saints fan and want shot if do prado. One good game in 8 not good enough. Take him away!Dream on! Guly would never stoop that low and play in a Mickey Mouse league like the SPL!Guly was very erratic last season, great at times but more often a passenger. We can't have that in the prem. I like him and he's done well but I'd flog him. That said, this story is fantasy!Guly better than both them players end offHere we go, Saints fan dreaming again. Next thing they'll be signing MesseWho's Messe?! Some unkown european talent? Is he the next Messi perhaps?

Reading are going to sign a player who flopped in his debut season, including the worst defensive performance I have ever seen against Man Utd.Jenkinson didn't flop. Jenkinson wasn't supposed to play at all, but Arsenal fcked up and was so unlucky that Jenkinson had to play on a level that he wasn't quite ready for.I would prefer he went to a championship club before we had to fork out a significant fee for a year with an inexperienced right back

Chesterfield have completed a move for sought after Port Vale striker Marc Richards on a 2 year deal.(11)(5)Cant hack it at a league one club by the sounds of thingsNahhh. He got offered more money at ChesterfieldHe's a proven goalscorer in the 4th division so why not take Chesterfield back to the 3ed tier of English football and take it from thereChesterfield are scouting benjamin pinkney from matlock town, promising left back very quick.Shows that this player lacks ambition by not even going to a higher league. chesterfield are a poor team even with a striker, so silly move for Richards.Richards has gone to town cause he can score goals,hold the ball up,bring people into play etc .he is a quality player that any team in league 1 or 2 would have in a flash you numpty.He was talking to league 1 clubs so people who say he can't hack it in the high division haven't a clue what they're are talking aboutRichards will rip that league up. If he stays fit! He still loves the vale thoughGood signing for chesterfield ,will get them some goals definitely .

Lillestorm striker Bjorn Sigurdarson has
said he favours a move to wolves
over any other club as Cardiff Ipswich
and Reading are not the clubs he
wants to play for(21)(19)He's staying at Lillestrom or going to the premiership so I doubt he said that.Why, when there are various Premiership teams interested (a number of whom would view him as a 1st team signing), would Bjorn opt for Wolves OR Cardiff?

Won't happen.Hope this happens! never seen him playing but im sure if he moves to the premier league he wont be a first team regular whereas at wolves he will be!Why go to championship with wolves when reading, everton and other prem teams have been looking at him!Because he is not guaranteed regular first team football in the premier league.Our new manager Solbakken is best mates with his uncle! solbakken is Norweigan and so is Sigurdarson!Reading have just signed bjorn sigurdarson and adrian mariappaHopefully we sign junior hoilet and yakubu because he's best friends with robertsHe's had Reading, Everton, Villa and Bayern Munich scouting him. Why would he choose Wolves?Sigurdarson is from Iceland not NorwaySigurdarson is Icelandic, not Norwegian.If Bjorn and agent has any sense they will sign for Reading. Everton are static but I admit their a bigger club and Wolves have just been relegated. I'd pick the club that will have more to spend in the transfer market and are on the up. This one's going to be a scrap be interesting to see what happens.I'm a wolves fan n BS is from Iceland his half brother is joey gudjonsson (spelling) (ex wolves) n wolves henning Berg has said wolves would be his ideal club n even his agent has said that wolves should move quick cause we have got a chance of getting himHe's to old need young players to get in plReading will be back down after one seasonHe's 21! That's old now?Not going to the championship- not wolves or anyone else. Cardiff were interested but his agent has said he wants a Premiership club. Oh Wolves not in that league anymore.

swansea looking at beckford from leicester(17)(28)Hope this is true, i am a LCFC fan and i can't stand the lazy waste of space, the type of player that causes problems with team spirit due to his negativity^ clearly hasnt watched his game closely or kniw anything about JB football wise or personallyHope it's true too, he is rubbish. Lazy and disrupts the team. See ya Jermaine!Don't think he is the right player for the Swans. Didn't do much last season with Leicester. Has seen better days. I'm sure there is better than him such as Jay Rodriguez of Burnley, Matt Phillips of Blackpool.I'm a Leicester fan and would hate to see Becks go! Brilliant footballer, natural goal scorer and great footballing brain. Anyone who says he is lady hasn't noticed his role is to play on the last defender and its Nugent who ldoes down. Thats their roles.Beckford! Rubbish? You alright in the head guys? Swans fan

Crawley are interested in loaning Millwall striker Josh McQuoid for the whole of next season.(7)(11)Hes rejoining AFCBScott Malone from bournemouth is looking more and more likely, with McQuiod going the other way

 


23 May 2012 21:38:16
I heard also that Torquay Utd were going to loan James Ward-Prowse and Ben Reeves from Southampton for 3 months next season.(4)(11)Dont think that will happenWard-Prowse has just been promoted to first team, they wouldnt have bothered with promoting him and triggering an increase in wages if they planned to loan him outJWP no chance. Be a good move for Reeves though. He looks decent and would get better with a few games under his belt.That makes sense as both need competitive experience, and to those who say playing in lower leagues isn't good enough, look at Oxlade Chamberlain, he's been selected for the euros, now we can keep our best youth prospects

 


23 May 2012 21:25:02

Someone like Eidur Gudjohnsen should join the Saints,he's already done it in the premier league,up for free transfer now I think,decent,experienced player.(15)(20)Thats a good shout! Not a saints fan but he could do a decent jobThats 101 players now ^^ lolIs not up for a free. Signed a 2 year contract last year at AEK. Would most likely only leave with a fee, as AEK need the money.

newly promoted mega rich Fleetwood town chairman Andy Pilley is going to make an audacious bid for Michael Owen and Emile Heskey after the sale of leading goalscorer Jamie Vardy for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £1m.(9)(40)Rubbish, have you ever been to fleetwood, they are no bigger than Accy Stanley or Morecombe.

Go back to playing footy manager.

Also Owen has stated that he wont even play in championship so why would he go to a newly promoted second division club

Watford have shown intrest in Chris maguire. Derby have set an asking price of £400,000.
WATCH THIS SPACE.(13)(5)Ridiculous rumourI didn't post this but it isn't ridiculous! This is looking very likely especially since Chris has been transfer listed. I've heard that a bid will be or has already been made.Chris maguire did well at portsmouth so derby have set an asking price of 575-600k.They paid 450k for him why would they loose 50k on him even if they dont want him its not like hes declined its just that he prefers to play as a lone striker whereas clough wants 2 up frontFor that sort of money I'm sure SD could get someone better in at WatfordWe could do better than Derby rejects. Looks like another Joe Garner.Can't see this happening

 


23 May 2012 20:35:05

Palace looking to sign either Leigh Griffiths or David Goodwillie but may struggle as both their parent clubs may need them having been relegated from the premiership.

Having been scouting in Scotland Dougie Freedman is interested in signing midfielder Ivan Sproule and defender Paul Hanlon from Hibs, whilst they are also looking at three unnamed Rangers players.

Crawley looking to do deals for Jermaine Easter and Andy Dorman, whilst Middlesborough are interested in captain Paddy McCarthy who's contract has one year left.(8)(13)No way, goodwillie and Griffiths are awful, don't be sillyI think Wolves will manage without Griffiths.Goodwillie and Griffiths have poor disciplinary recored (inside and outside football) and Sproule is awful, just released from Hibs who are equally awful !!I guess someone is making this up based on a post on the Palace supporters website saying there has been a lack of scottish relate palace rumours. So busted.

Peterborough United's Lee Tomlin has agreed terms with Stoke City. The deal will be worth £3m(11)(14)Been rubbished by Posh's Chairman.....Shame though, been a Peterborough fan out of all our players apart from Lewis he's the one I'd most like for us to sell. His performances this season have been poor. If some one offered me £3mil for him I'd snap there hand off lol.

CARDIFF CITY are prepared to shatter their transfer record with an audacious £5.5m bid for Burnley hotshot Jay Rodriguez.

WalesOnline understands no official approach has been made by the Bluebirds, but the club has expressed a 'strong interest' in signing the 22-year-old striker, who fired 21 goals for the Clarets last season in the npower Championship.

Cardiff boss Malky Mackay rates Rodriguez the best striker outside the Premier League and has received the backing of the Bluebirds board to go out and land his man.(10)(44)Sure they would like Messi too-but neither are going to a Championship club!Way too good for cardiff, easily prem standardDream on boyo, u will lose your manager to wiganThe cardiff owners have already stated that costs will have to be cut, there is zero chance of them spending that sort of money.Jay is going to the Prem next season, not to a crappy little club like cardiffGo back to playong footy manager, what a load of rubbish

If you done your homework, we rejected a 5 million bid, also reports are saying we rejected a 5.5 mill bid aswell.

Also why would he want to go to a team that has failed everytime they have been in the playoffs, also he will only go to a Prem club aswellWhere have our owners said cost will be cut... You need to do some research.
Cardiff are hardly a crappy 'little' club, we're the biggest team to have never played in the premier league, and had more success in recent times than anyone else. Roriguez isnt prem standard and I wouldnt want us to spend that much for him. That settles that.Why would we lose our manager to Wigan when our manager has signed a contract to stay with us until 2014Rodriguez is prem standard and Burnley's asking price is 8m.This has got to b the funniest thing I have ever heard in my entire life , KEEP ON DREAMING CARDIFF . UTCAlso he isnt from watford so cardiff wouldnt want himCarrdiff city sign rodriguez i dont think so . more likely to sign fat overweight chopra from ipswich .Who are cardiff city no bottle and surely not 8 mill youve more chance getting promoted to the prem ,than buying jayHaha im a spurs fan and its funny how all the championship fans here think there clubs are big. fact burnley are a small club as much as i hate to say it cardiff are twice as big as burnley there fan base is huge for championship level jay rodriguez is overated.OOOO I see the Welsh haters are out in force today! Small minded idiots who only come on here to criticize, ridicule and insult. Grow up you muppets!Liverpool fan here , Cardiff have proven they are one of the biggest clubs in the UK , did you see their fans against us in the CC final . Respect where due!! Reds hoping for Cardiff to go up this coming season!! YNWAMost of the posters above must have been on the Bitter this afternoon!!! ha ha ha ha ha!!!I am a burnley fan and i think cardiff are a bigger club than ours . However i dont think jay would move to cardiff if a established prem club comes in . tottenham isnt that a suburb of chelsea and fulham . lmao jk . at least burnley is its own place . even if it aint to pretty lmaoWould love to know why a spurs fan has an interest on a burnley issue ?,but its a fact believe it or not? burnley fc are the best supported club in england ,when you consider per head of population in burnley .its a football factI dont think hes worth 5.5 million to be honest yet alone 8 million burnley fans need to get realSpurs fan has an issue because every forum i go on its all about jay rodriguez. why doesnt he just stay at burnley he doesnt need to go anywhere . if he goes burnley are doomed next seasonI am a Cardiff fan and this bid is nothing more than a publicity stunt. Owners trying to prove that they still back the club and the fans. it is easy to bid for players you know you cant get. He is highly rated and has six or seven Premiership clubs after him, so why would he want to come to Cardiff. Come on city fans wake up and smell the coffee.If Cardiff are double the side Burnley are then how come they're not in the premier league and also who was in the premier league more recently?? BurnleyIf your such a big club you would have stayed in the premiership one lucky season getting up it will never happen again swansea are bigger than burnley lmaoThat reminds me we also beat spurs 4-2Well we would have stayed in the prem if our manager didnt leave half way thru the season and get replaced by a person hu didnt have a clue wot he wer doing !!And at least we got to the premiership , something which Cardiff can't do , even when u had Bellamy u couldn't get there haha

Mustapha carayol is in talks with bristol city ,believed to be worth around 800k to Bristol rovers,the player sees this move as a launching pad to him playing prem football(11)(18)No he's going to shrewsburyHa ha if bristol city pay that kind of money for him 800,000.(you dont even have that).Hes worth 100,000-150000.
Im a derby fan and aparently it was between us and boro and if we dont want him shrewsbury.But if this is actually true you can have him seen videos of him he is just fast.I will actually cry with laughter if you pay this feeI heard that City had offered £350k + add ons for Carayol. Revised offer for Keogh was in region of £400k after initial £200k offer was refused.I am slightly bemused by the Derby fans insistence that BCFC don't have any money. Look up Steve Lansdown and you will see that we are fine thank you. I assume this is the same poster who keeps posting that we are going into administration too? Epic fail.
Our club have always worked on the premise that we 'will buy a player if he is better than the ones we already have', no gusto or budgets just the same line for years. Does the Derby fan see us as a threat?To the person who believes Bristol City are skint google the name Stephen Lansdown (the clubs owner in all but name and only creditor as all loans are to him) All this talk about our finances are way off the mark.Nope we cant be a threat to Derby who will be middle to bottom of the championship next season as we will be top to middle.Lansdown isnt gunna want to buy all these players at such high prices when he has a rugby club to run aswell as a football club he said he is focased on trying to get bristol to the prem while city take a backseat for now he doesnt even run bristol city really any more he just has a small shareWhere tthe hell does all these people get the idea that our club (bristol city) has no money. our owner has been putting money into the club for years planing on building a new sttdium and also he is the 3rd richest man in the west countryTo the Derby fan. He's worth a lot more than 150,000. I wouldn't accept anything less than a million. Reading and Watford both had 2 players on him this season and both still got tore to shreds.

Good ole Ip5w1ch.Chopra wasn't useless last season. He was still the 7th highest goalscorer in the championship with 14 goals.This is BoKs we are talking to Fuller of Stoke about a return to PR, not a 36 yr old OTT lump

Former Palace employee was on a scouting mission for the club in Japan. Lennie Lawrence confirmed that TP was watching a Korean It is believed he was watching the Korean defender Yun Song Ju.(4)(14)Complete rubbish

Tony Popovic already admitted who he was scouting before leaving for West Sydney and that man was "Jesus" KennedyHilarious!

Swansea team next season GK:vorm
RB:Gunter CB:Williams CB:Caulker LB:
Taylor Rm:Dyer LM:Sinclair CAM:Siggy
CAM:Emnes Cm:Allen ST:Graham!(6)(25)Great team which should guarantee mid table finish but i think gunter and emnes may not be good enoughThe same caulker that is owned by spursEmnes will only get better, really maturing now as a footballer.Why would emnes play cam? no clue about football what so ever!Interesting. You could be pretty near the mark there. Emnes, yes. Gunter, strong possibility.No Britton? Personally I'd rather Clyne than Gunter if the deal could be done, and seeing as Sinclair and Dyer are more attacking wingers than side midfielders two CAMs are gonna be far too muchSo where is our best player? Leon...cant tick without him.What, No Leon Britton.True but i think they need a new right back though with pace perhaps kyle naughton or nthaniel clyne?Good team, but I think we could do with a better LB (no offence to Neil Taylor intended) and maybe bring in either Nathaniel Clyne or Adam Matthews as RB to strengthen out defence coz if we lose Rangel or Taylor to injury we haven't got cover atmMate you do know in football you can chnange positions so Emnes could play Cam if he was asked!Yeah, you won't be getting Caulker back. With King, Gallas and Nelsen all a year older and Dawson injury-prone, Caulker will play for Spurs next season.

And yes, I know everyone is a year older, but you know what I mean.Spurs already have Gallas, King, Kaboul, Dawson and Nelson on their books and they are looking at Jonas Olsson of WBA and Jan Vertonghen of Ajax that could leave Caulker bench warming for Spurs and he is farr too good for that. Better off returning to Swansea on loan or even full time.Caulker will be playing for Spurs. Dream on sad jack!

Shrewsbury Town to sign some of these players in the summer:
Kane Ferdinand
Matt Ritchie
Mustapha Carayol
Lewis Grabban
Ryan Hall
Marlon Pack
Some of these players will be tough to sign due to championship competition.
With the signings Shrewsbury will challenge for promotion and possibly the title.(3)(28)Would love us to get some of them but with Matt Richie, Mustapha Carayol and Lewis Grabban we haven't got a chance.Mustapha Carayol? Jog on! No chance is he going Shrewsbury!Are you having a laugh you have no chance of Matt Ritchie. we turned down 800k from Bournemouth and Di Canio wants 2.5 million plus he wouldnt go to a smal club like Shrewsbury no disrespect.Ritchie, Carayol and Grabban very unlikely. dont lieDon't be silly.They wont sign anySeen as though ian sharps argue-ably your best player last season left to join rotherham its unlikely grabban would leave rotherham to join you. no disrespect to shrewsbury but this rumor is a fantasyI'm not lying CARAYOL will go! I can't see why not!Is that the Matt Richie who plays for Swindon or another one cos if its the one from Swindon you've got more chance of platting fog my old son!Ferdinand and hall are too good for Shrewsbury!What's so great about Matthew Ritchie did he run rings around Shrewsbury no did he score against Shrewsbury no league 1 player say no moreYet Hall is ok for LEAGUE 2 SOUTHEND. they are do able. no others thoughI am a shrewsbury fan and can say this is obviously someones wish list rather than reasonable targetsOnly likely ones are Pack and Hall the others are bcksAlso a shrewsbury fan and i had a laugh. why on earth would Matt Ritchie move to us, no logic at all. Rovers rejected a 6 figure bid for Carayol and we only do free transfers..... this guy is deluded.Wish list it is a wet dream list.

In Turner we trustDeluded Town fan I think. Sign them and we'll be back in the Conference having gone bust in no time.That guy talking about Ian Sharps is clueless. Learn your facts before you post! The only thing stopping Ian Sharps signing for Shrewsbury only offered him a one-year deal, whereas Rotherham gave him the security of a 2-year deal.

You're talking as if Rotherham are a big club.Sharps left because Rotherham offered him 2 years and Shrewsbury offered him only a 1 year deal.

Wolves are leadin the race to sign bjorn sigurdarson from lillestrom, due to his age constant first team football is his priority wolves unlike the premier league teams interested can offer him that. He won't be joining any other championship club as the likes of Cardiff and Ipswich aren't ambitious enough for him. Wolves also have links to him with solbakken and Eggert Johnsonn.(14)(16)City and Town are going to finish above Wolves next season. I just know it you have no hope.Good that Sigursson is going to Wolves. You must admit, going to a club that couldn't buy a win with a team that made a Blue Square outfit look like Real Madrid is a damn sight more of an attraction than that tatty old Premiership. There's ambition!I ain't got a clue what either of the others are trying to say, face it he will be going to wolves!Lol we will be promoted one way or another let's fact it city there rubbish n so are townBitter people wolves for the league ...come show all these rubbish clubs how its done..city and town hahaWolves were relegated so its funny that there fans call cardiff and town a bad clubCardiff have never been a big club and never will be they are nowt compared to swansea.Cardiff are a big club they have a huge fanbase and a new stadium there a club on the up wolves are on the way down

We won't get promoted were a mid table side and always will be unless we get the man city owner before the fair play rule comes inI'm a derby fan and... yes he willTbf alone he wont but him, a 20 goal ST and another defender and we'll get play offsNo he won't lol. we will not get promoted by signing Jacobs and losing S.Davies and GreenGreen is rubbish and S Davies is good but will never get u play offs cus he neer finishes a seasonThink there's some forest florist fans on here. green and davies have been injured a lot recently and we have done fine without them. but sounds like our loyal derby fans must of seen a different season to the rest of us.

 


23 May 2012 18:17:38
Johnson will not leave city as many people seem to think, he only recently signed a new deal. He scored quite a few goals this season, many after coming on as a good sub, so City will be happy to use his as an impact sub! The only reason he will go is if he hands in a transfer request.
In
Hazard-City will offer him more than United
Thaigo Silva-a deal that will involve Tevez going the other way
Martinez-an alternative option to Barry who is getting old and De Jong
Cavani-as Tevez will leave in the Thaigo deal

Out
Kolo Toure-he is getting old and his best days have gone, Thaigo will replace him
Bridge-he will be sold to anyone who will take him, if he is prepared to take a wage cut
Tevez-as a part of the Thaigo deal, he is too unreliabe, shown by what happened with the poster
And lots of other unplayed and out on loan player such as Santa Cruz(8)(19)I think Milan have made it quite clear that they won't be selling Thiago...I thought that was obvious when they said he costs 40m+You say city will offer more than united but hazard has agreed terms with both so surely that cant be the case?

Jake Forster- Caskey to sign for a prem club after breakthrough season at Brighton.(7)(14)I agree that he deserves his chanceI doubt it. He has fantastic potential and brighton dont need to sellNot ready yet another couple of seasons and we'll knowYh ok 3 year contract left, plus arsenal were after him last year and said he wouldnt leave and want to progress with us..... epic fail.LoL whay do people put such bull no way is he going to the prem 1. he aint ready 2. he has said he wanted to stay at brighton 3. his contract isnt over and we would probs on loan him if we did anything!Although he was impressive. He didnt play enough to warrant a Premiership move. HGe will be a Premiership player soon. He needs to excell a regular first team place in the Championship first. He is likely to be a 'key' midfielder for albion next season (2012/13). Now Navarro has gone, ideal opportunity for him to prove he is good enough.Epic fail ?? dont be pathetic. You obviously know nought about football. Typical impatient so called fan.Wat breakthrough season? 5 apperances 2 goals

Liverpool are most likely to get Roberto Martinez as their new manager.(14)(25)He's already said no once, so if this is true, what have they had to offer to make him change his mind ?Just shows how far liverpool have fallen,what a jokeFair play to liverpool if they do offer him the job.Look at how Di Matteo turned around Chelseas season. It would be refreshing to see a major premiership team not going for one of the usual big name suspects.Liverpool cant get big names anymore thats why they went for rodgers and martinez and even they to turned them down!how the mighty have fallen!!They drew up a shortlist of 5 managers, all the rest are paper talk; Benitez, Villas-Boas, Guardiola, Martinez and Rodgers. It's believed all along it's been a two horse race between Rafa and AVB but the management wanted to open up their options in an attempt to drive down the costs of the new manager.Hes pictured in america with john henryLiverpool fans are a joke. The dont want to give anyone a chance at the helm other than dalglish and we all saw what he did with fsg moneyI wish that FSG would focus more on the football rather than business. It's all well and good cutting costs but you have to invest to get champions league. That's where the money is, not 8th place and a Carling cup. We need a proven manager who can handle a club like Liverpool, pick out quality targets without paying ridiculous fees and who's tactically sound. Not someone who can just about save a team from relegation.

Ed any Decent Southampton rumours ? {Ed025's Note - yes mate ...apparently you are signing everyone!...only kidding...you are being linked with jordan rhodes, and jay rodriguez..(14)(8)Haha cheersSaints offered just over 6m for jay according to lancs telegraph but does he want to move all the way down there and be stuck in a relegation dogfight all next season? i dont think so especially as there are established premier league sides nearer home like everton showing an interest. saints you aint got a chance of getting him...I think we do.Daily echo website belives saints have offered 6m for rodYeah yeah, just like we weren't going to get Jack Cork because he 'loved his time at Burnley'.Why wouldn't Saints get him? Everton are not exactley financial flush and need to sell before they can buy anyone.And how would you know weather the saints are going to be in a relegation dogfight are you mystic meg? he could do alot worse than saints anyway imo who would pay 6+m for him imo he is worth only half thatPersonally I think his options are Burnley or Saints. If he stays with Burnley, he will be close to his friends and family and will play the majority of games. Southampton a team now in the Premier League hoping for survival where he will be in the first team picture. However teams like Everton, Newcastle etc.... they already have a fair few strikers and will need to fight very hard to overturn all above him, so my conclusion is I hope he stays with Burnley and signs a new contract because I like to see players stay with their local team (le tissier and hopefully adam) , but would be very happy if we signed him but not for the asking price of 8 million

Thanks
Jake (saints fan)You say we dont stand a chance but if he wants to PLAY in the premier league were his best chance. He wont get in the everton starting 11 maybe the bench, all the way south. Lol it aint that farHow do you know saints will be in a relevation dog fight? Everyone said we would struggle to be top half the table in the championship but we stayed top most the season and finished second to a reading that hit form at the the right time. COYRJay Rodriguez is a southampton fan mind you, playing for your childhood club is kind of his ambition. Just saying, he should want to...

Yakubu to replace Holt at Norwich {Ed025's Note - or at weightwatchers..(10)(24)1st of all Holt ain't going anywhere, and he is not overweight, one of the reasons he has made the step up was the conditioning Lambert put him through.
If Yakubu was to come to Norwich Lambert would be on his case straight away about any excess weight, ain't going to happen because Norwich would not pay his wage demands.Ed015- Oi ! {Ed025's Note - its ed025 actually...lolYes but I am ed015.Bit harsh ed :D {Ed025's Note - i apologise....but only to ed015, for not reading his post properly...sorry mate..That's what i like a nice impartial editor crikey

Frank nouble of west ham could sign one year deal with Yeovil town, depending on interest from other clubs in London region. Also if we can't get chris weale because of his wage demands then we will look to Scott shearer.(7)(9)How about the wage demands of Mr Nouble?I think Richar Hinds did well this season. He fitted in the team to great capacity making us stronger. I feel he could contibute well again especially alongisde a the new defender at the heart of defence. I feel N'gala and Ayling are strong as well. Jones and Haynes Brown aren't the best of players for promotion standards, though we need them. We need more then sixteen outfield players at least who belong to us. The choise of players becomes vital, I do feel however Hinds can be one of them. We have a tight budget we just need good two keepers sixteen or seventeen outifield players who belong to us plus four of five loans.

reading have had bid accepted for Adrian Mariappa
MrRfc
so far - connolly, Mariappa, Parr, Sanchez and Rhodes being tracked(16)(10)MrRFC you post repeatedly every day yet nothing you say has come to light can you either shut up or tell us your real identity is being Brian McDermott?Just you wait and see, and i said yesterday Connolly will sign and next day reading post say we are in talks
MrRfcYou don't know what you are talking about - Mapps is in the Carribean for the next 2 weeks and has been there for a while - why make stuff up - what are you 12?The first post i made was two days ago BE PATIENT, when this happens i what an apology and just because we are interested in or approached someone doesnt mean we will sign them
MrRfcBut marriappa is in jamaica on international duty! pls note nothing major will happen till after the euros and summer break most likelyWhy does Mariappa have to be in the country for us to have a bid accepted
MrRfcDavid silva coming to reading and paul scholes for last season maybe ryan giggsLol southaptonNo offense to the people rubbishing this rumour, but there is such things as a mobile phone... this isnt the 16th Century. I personally do not believe this, especially since we have been heavily linked with Connoly and according to Sky, Reading believe that young Micheal Hector has what it takes to flourish in the Premier League.I don't understand why people start to mention the likes of Silva (like above) and players like that when Reading rumors appear! Since when does the likes Mariappa and Rhodes lead to David Silva, did I miss something and these players from non prem teams world class stars!?Reading have only shown an intrest no bid according to sky sportsBid has been agreed and he will have a medical when he returns from international duty, but this doesnt mean he will sign still competition
MrRfc

 


23 May 2012 17:40:13
Burnley closeing in on Adam clayton and James meredith. They are also optimistic about joel ward and may return with an improved offer for O'neil. still no offers for Jay rod accepted yet(16)(7)Not true 5.5m offer for jar rod from an unnamed clubActually that "offer" never happened, no bid has been made.And no bid will ever be made for him BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUCH PLAYER. You may get a bid or two for your other striker Jay RODRIGUEZI said accepted, there have been offers just none accepted. Also stop being an person you knew exactly who i meant so whats the problem!So is their no such player as Leo messi then either then , or scholsey , if a player has a nickname does that mean they don't exist ? Get a gripAnd actually his nickname is roggy but I suppose it dunt matter coz he dunt even exist

He only got realeased today but he would be a good signingThey are on holiday. how can he be training with them!!!

Grant Holt will not be leaving Norwich City after his problems have been resolved by the board.(26)(6)I hope holt wont go

 


23 May 2012 17:26:50
If Grant Holt does leave Norwich will replace him with Celtic striker Gary Hooper(9)(25)Buy him if he stays- what a strike force, hooper can replicate jelavicOh dear how many clubs is hooper playing forHooper wont leave celtic"On a worse note let me darken the hour. Paul Lambert Has just agreed to sign for Aston Villa." Oh dear... Crystal ball was a little broken I think, mate.

 


23 May 2012 17:25:29
Norwich to sign:
Dani Pacheco - 2m
Henri Lansbury - 2m
Jordan Rhodes - 4m + K Smith on loan
Curtis Davies - 2m
Wilfried Zaha - 4m + C Martin
Kyle Naughton - 2m
and Lucas Piazon on loan from Chelsea

Total - 16m... Which Norwich will be able to afford to stabilize their place in the top flight.(13)(24)And Stuart Holden sorryNaughton will cost more like 6m and Zaha is rubbish compered to bennettWould all be good signings and all are realistic, but I can't see you getting all of them.More like relegationRhodes, Naughton, Zaha and Lansbury are the only players who will challenge for a first team placeCurtis Davies is worth more than 2mStuart Holden is overrated and no better than Howson, Fox, Hoolahan ^^
Zaha, waste of money, Chris Martin will probably leave thoughNorwich City fans please wake up and stop being so ridiculous.Kyle Naughton was a brighter star than Kyle Walker at the time we paid £10m for two kids from Sheffield United. Walker took his chances at Villa on loan and has evolved to the world class player you see, please do not be so blinkered to think we would allow a fitness & experience loan to you to materialise into some £2m transfer. Face it Naughton is just gaining experience and be grateful to have him at such a bargain on loan price. He is likely to join the main squad with Caulker who has been given the same experience at Swansea. Perhaps if you are lucky we might give you another years loan, but selling a young up and coming star for 40% of what we paid years before is just not happening.

On a worse note let me darken the hour. Paul Lambert Has just agreed to sign for Aston Villa.Mate Naughton is 23 not as young as Walker

 


23 May 2012 16:57:08
Reece Brown is wanted on loan by Swindon Town and Shrewsbury Town.(6)(5)He's also wanted back at Oldham, most likely to be as well.

 


23 May 2012 16:55:42
Young Manchester United Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is a reported loan target for Preston North End and Shrewsbury Town.(11)(6)We wont we got stuckmannWe wont be looking at goal keepersOnly have one keeper atm so could be plausableOf course we're looking at goalkeepers we've only got Thorsten Stuckman, who is strongly rumoured to be replacing Paul Robinson at Blackburn. Robinson returning to the Premier League.Stuckman moving on, Johnstone is a replacement.

 


23 May 2012 16:52:03
Newcastle sign Romain Amalfitano, confirmation released soon. {Ed025's Note - i watch sky sports news as well..(18)(5)H yes edHaha gud one ed

 


23 May 2012 16:50:32
Frank Nouble hwo has been released by West ham is interesting Millwall and Watford(7)(10)Fits KJ's transfer strategy.Stop making up such rubbish. No chance at Millwall. He couldn't even score at Gillingham !!Neil Harris couldn't score for Gillingham, but look at his goalscoring record at Millwall!!True and it all depends on who the players are around youHarris is a league one player, just like Nouble.

 


23 May 2012 16:49:15
Shrewsbury Town have shown interest in former Arsenal players Rhys Murphy and Gavin Hoyte following their release.(5)(6)Not coming to shrewsGavin Hoyte definitely is!

 


23 May 2012 16:49:01
After his release from West Ham, John Carew is set to join his ex- valencia team mate Vicente, at Brighton !(15)(6)Please say this is false, carew is awfulSadly not up to Championship standard even these days. I can see him going home to Norway but certainly not going to Brighton who need a striker who can do just that!Please say this is true, carew is ideal. Just the type of physical presence Brighton need up front. Good in the air, strong, versitial, experienced and knows how to put the ball in the box.
whoever said he is awful needs a reality check.

 


23 May 2012 17:17:55
Gary Johnson is expected to name a new centre half farely soon. Defender Clarke Carlisle could be a possible candidate after being released form Burnley.(8)(5)

 


23 May 2012 17:17:34
Next season Crewe duo Nick Powell and Max Clayton will sign for prem clubs, if they are promoted to League 1. As well as that Ajay Leitch-Smith, Matt Tootle, Luke Murphy and Ashley Westwood will join championship clubs depending on promotion or not.(9)(6)If half their team were that good then they wouldn't be where they are.

 


23 May 2012 17:12:13
I work for Norwich city and can confirm that things happening with Dani Pacheco and Henri Lansbury are a little more than just rumours. watch this space very soon...(18)(9)Oh really. I think this rumour is reliable as a glass hammer!

 


23 May 2012 17:11:51
Chris Eagles to leave Bolton W.
His agent to exercise contract clause.
Possible clubs are Reading or Leicester.(15)(9)Btw that comment was meant to go to the post below!!Why would eagles go to leicester when bolton are better placed to be promoted next season?Just how are bolton better placed? do you know anything bout football or are you a deluded wanderers fan?

LeicesterLadNo we are not just a bigger premiership club that had bad luck last season and will win the championship factBolton have too many out of contract players, they are on a downward spiral, whereas leicester are on the up. they are being talked about, and being talked about means people take notice. people taking notice means you can attract players^ Clearly a deluded bolton fan. Not much hope when they get smaller attendances than leicester when in the prem. Championship will finish your little club.Leicester wont finish in top 2 this season bolton will fact!Not impressed with Eagles for Reading. Let Leicester have himBasically Bolton are a better team than Reading...They may have been relegated from the Premier League but it wasn't too long ago Leicester were relegated from the Championship.It wasn't too long ago that Norwich were relegated from the Championship and where are they now? The same with Southampton. As a Leicester fan I disagree that Bolton are a 'bigger club' but I do think you stand more chance of going up automatically than Leicester.Leicester gonna stay in championship forever, they are a nothing team in a horrible place. you will never see the premiership, come on you whites!Obviously all these leicester fans think they'll buy the league like they tried to last year.Chris eagles would be brill for bolton in champinshipLeicester will do better than bolton this coming from a cardiff fanI know the whole championship hates leicester, but and I am no gambler, bookies don't loose money... check out the odds on Leicester being promoted before writing this schoolyard drivel. Bookies tend to have inside knowledge that we generally dont. I saw them play last year and they were awful, but if the bookies have confidence I would suggest you worry about your own club fighting for a second spot or a playoff place... {Ed001's Note - bookies do NOT have inside knowledge, they base their prices on the money wagered, nothing else.}Jog on leicester are nothing, spend a fortune and cant even compete for a play off place #joke

 


23 May 2012 17:03:47
Paul Lambert has hinted he has no plans to leave Norwich 'I absolutely love it here'.
In the summer he plans to sign:
Henri Lansbury
Dani Pacheco
Jordan Rhodes
Curtis Davies
Charlie Mulgrew
Liam Bridcutt
Stuart Holden
Kyle Naughton
Robert Snodgrass
Chris Gunter

He plans to sell:
Andrew Crofts (swap deal for Bridcutt)
Aaron Wilbraham
Zak Whitbread
Either Rudd or Steer (loan to a champ side)
Simon Lappin (loan for season plus £3M for Snodgrass)(12)(15)You really dont want mulgrew he couldnt hack it when was at wolves in the championshipSteer will not go to a championship side we had him at yeovil and personally i thought he was one of the worst keepers i have seen okay at shot stopping but doesnt command his area at allWhat do you drink? I want some. Its better than my wacky baccy!!!Wilbraham and Whitbread have been released. According to transfermarkt.co.uk

Very reliable source. I;m an Arsenal fan by the way.

StEvEWhitbread and wilbraham are already released numpty, brad burton hereMulgrew has changed since then....have you been watching him? i guess not because its a shiat league eh so everyone is shiat. he took 3 different player of the year awards,he is a different player now, and has one of the best crosses and free kicks around...but thats your opinion, he will prove you wrong again next yearJed Steer has improved massively this season. He made a few appearances for the first team at Norwich and performed extremely well in doing so. He will reach the top. When you have no confidence in your back line then you dont perform well, im guessing that was his problem at Yeovil.Mulgrew wont go anywhere why would he want to be relegrated with norwhich when he will be playing champions league football with celtic?There will always be a long running argument between premier league mid table teams such as Norwich and Rangers/Celtic about who is better, who will sign for who etc.

My view point is that when you look at where your best players have come from, Celtic's 'Stars' have all come from middle of the road or lower end Championship teams. You even have our League 1 GK ffs. I dont know how playing 3 games in the Champions league with little to no chance of ever doing anything in the competition again, coupled with the least competitive top level league in Europe is much of a draw any more. Im sure playing in the most competitive top league against some of the worlds best teams on (more than likely) more cash is likely to start turning heads if we want them. BUt we went down the route of buying players from Scotland a few years back, and that took us down to league 1....

 


23 May 2012 16:48:06
Newcastle update
Romain amalfitano is having a medical today ahead of signing a three year deal.
Newcastle are in pole position to sign mapou yanga M'Biwa from montpelleir his agent has already held prelimanary talks with the club, the player is also keen to join newcastle as he feels he could settle in to the premier league easier alongside so many of his fellow countrymen. All of this comes after a move for fc twente's defender douglas stalled with negotiations proving too difficult due to the number of representatives he has.
Newcastle are also confident of tying up a deal for lille's 26 year old right back matt debuchy who said a final farewell to lille after an 18 year association with the club he joined at the age of 8, yohan cabaye has been instrumental in the deal the brings his best freind to the club for a fee of around 6 million which they are hoping to complete before the start of the euros and stave of interest from bayern and lazio.

Newcastle are expecting to loose both danny guthrie and danny simpson this summer. Simpson will be sold if he continues to refuse a new deal as club wont risk looseing him for nothing with villa and qpr interested in a 4 million deal.
Guthrie will be looking for first team football over the summer with wba, villa and norwich possible destinations in a 3 million deal. Dan gosling and leon best are the other potential departures as they will looking for regular first team football.

Newcastle will try to hold on to thier top players this summer however they have deals lined up to replace demba ba, cheick tiote and tim krul with bas dost , sven bender and hugo lloris if they did decide to sell(10)(5)Like Lloris will move to Newcastle.Dream on, I liked the reported interest in M'Biwa and Debuchy but you must be joking when you think Newcastle are in any position to sign Hugo Lloris?

 


23 May 2012 16:46:53
Palace now favourite to sign Joel Ward(9)(20)I've been saying that for the last 3 weeks.

 


23 May 2012 16:44:22
i think you will find that Motherwell accepted a bid from Blackpool for Jamie Murphy in January of £250k but he refused to leave. His form has been so poor that they want to cash in on him this window before his contract runs out next year!(4)(1)

Stoke city are showing an interest in former west ham striker John Carew who has been released by west ham since their promotion back to the premier league(5)(21)The same john carew that stoke did not offer a new contract to before he went to join west hamIt may be a bit tongue in cheek but it seems like every single tall available player gets linked to Stoke on these pages. Above post has it right though; why would Stoke want Carew when he failed to impress on loan in the 09/10 season. {Ed025's Note - becase he,s tall?....lolSomeone should learn their football before making up rumours :-)He was released by Stoke last season so why would we want him back - doh !!Haha Class, even the Ed is getting on the "we all hate Stoke" train....... learn how to spell mate!

simon cox in a deal worth 1.5million

cox will score for fun at the scottish giants(15)(7)No he wont,and celtic will not be signing himCox has signed a new contract at west brom
also he will cost double that price.Please please take him celtic hes pantsHes hasn't signed a new contract albion have taken up the years option in order to sell him for a fee rather than him walking away, just like they did with marek cech.

celtic don't want him though even though it was reported on sky it was just his new agent trying to create interestWhy does everyone think we sell our best players really cheap? You're looking at at least £3m for Cox!

Saints may be after Giovanni dos santos of spurs. Surplus to requirements at white heart lane and could therefore be aquired for a knock down price-
Source

Saintsweb(18)(10)Never heard of a knock down price at whl only overpricedLots of clubs have been after Gio but have not come up to Spurs asking price so i cant see him going for a knock down price

ou812Deluded.Dos santos favours a move back to la liga, was on his way to villareal before they got relegatedAs said above he will only move back to La Liga, Udinese put in a big offer last summer but he rejected it because he wants Spain, he won't move to another English clubYou're looking at £10m plus. Sounds ridiculous I know but that's what they're willing to offer for him in Spain and Italy so why would Spurs sell to a domestic team for less?

 


23 May 2012 15:50:37
Izale Mcleod in talks with Oxford United following his release from Barnet, as is Lee Holmes after being unhappy with his spell at Swindon following his loan at Oxford.(8)(15)Agreed , one to watch , reckon this could happenWhat a load of rubbish......they need to build a stadium with 4 sides first before splashing the cash!!Considering We've (oxford) signed a left winger already, and that Holmes loved his time at Swindon, we wont be after him. And he wont be interested.
Also we have 5 strikers at the club and have stated we are not after anymore. The manager has already said we're only going to sign a left winger, we got Sean Rigg from Port Vale,
A right back, and 1 or 2 centre midfielders, As waiting for a current player to accept a new deal.With Oxford looking to move some of their current strikers on, don't dismiss this McLeod linkLee Holmes rumour is garbage! BUT however i have a very good mate who is involved with Oxford United Football Club, says Izale Mcleod will be an Oxford United player early next week.

James Constable will be sold on, after the Mcleod deal goes through. Im told Constable will be heading to League 2 Plymouth.Can believe that beano would be going to Plymouth, I would like to think he would stay at Oxford and work well with another strikerYawn! Constable is not being sold on. why do people need to lie?
Chris Wilder is happy with our attackers in our squad. We are not looking to sell or sign any strikers! IF a striker was going to leave, It would be Dean Smaller who was on loan at Bradford for 6 months!
Oxford are hoping, midfielder Adam Chapman signs. And then looking to sign another centre midfielder to replace Asa Hall who thankfully went to Shrewsbury, and a new right back!
SOURCE : Chris Wilder!!Everybody knows Beano won't go! He loves the club.

 


23 May 2012 15:49:05
Orients Dean Cox has agreed a move to Crawley Town and will sign when he returns from holiday.

The fee is £200,000.(13)(11)Believable. Cox has been added by the Crawley CEO on his twitter. No other reason for this?Absolute drivel !

Calvin Andrew will be having a medical at Leyton Orient later on today.

He has agreed a one year contract and will spearhead Orients attacke next season.

Meanwhile George Porter will reject Orients contract offer to sign for Brighton.(11)(8)Another striker who can't score :(Porter - Won't be coming to us.I can confirm that calvin andrew is having a medical tommorow and if all goes well will sign a 2 year deal with the os.He was so pony for orient that he was dropped before his loan even finished, so a very strange signing if trueNicky adams i think will happen.............Porter to brighton no chance.....Calvin andrew youre having a laugh..........Great news for os fans, calvin andrew had just signed a 2 year deal at the os, and there will be a press conference tommorow at 2 pm...No chance on Andrews , if slade signs Andrews then before a ball is kicked the fans will be singing for him out . Shame about good player with a bright futurePlease dont sign andrews i cant stand him what a waist of wageswe could spend on a decent or younger and better playerUmmm why is that great news?I probably have more of a chance than scoring than Andrew. Nine goals in a 153 games- 'nuff said.Please noHeskey could probably score more than andrews

Wigan will look to sign Leeds United pair Ross McCormack and Adam Clayton if both are still available in 2 weeks time when Martinez gets back from his holiday in Spain.

Plus dont believe rumours that Martinez is meeting with the Liverpool owners on thursday.
Martinez is on a family holiday and is no longer considering the Liverpool job after seeing and hear what the Liverpool fans think of him.(11)(11)Good we dont want him,why get rid of dalglish for a lump it forward manager,wouldnt last six monthsLump it forward manager? Clearly not seen Wigan play then. We play some of the best football in the league.Martinez a lump it forward manager?!?!?! are you for real?No you dont,please keep martinez so you wll be religatrd next seasonLump it forward manager ! You obviously do not know anything about football . Martinez likes to play attacking , free flowing passing football , on the floor and not in the air . If I am not mistaken thats how the great Liverpool sides of the past used to play . Before posting actually watch some football and get your facts right . (Phil Thompson on Sky Sports said that when Wigan played Newcastle it was like watching Brazil )I actually want him to get the job, any new manager will get my full backing.Ouch your wrong about martinez!Will be nice if we get both :)Im not wrong about Martinez, just wait and see.

James McFadden is also set to train wth Wigan with all three hoping to win contracts.

Ispy.(22)(7)Cuellars going back to spain ... nice one!Cuellar has said he wants to stay in the PremI hope we get Cuellar, are back up defenders are really poor and Alcaraz has been a bit injury-prone recentlyI think you will find wigan are in the premiership next season if you look at the table they are the one above villa

Having seen him play several times this season, Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman is on the verge of signing Leicester striker David Nugent, who is rumoured to be travelling to London this weekend to undergo a medical, however the Scotsman may face stiff competition from Blackpool and rivals Brighton.

Also on Freedman's radar are Swansea's Stephen Dobbie, Norwich striker James Vaughan and Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson.(10)(33)Congratulations on your boredom!!Nugent must be driving on the sea to get to London seeing as he is in Tenerife on his holidays! Check his twitter small boy beofre you make up liesSorry but why would you think that Vaughan is on his radar. He will be very much in Lamberts first team plans now that he has recovered fully from his injury which kept him out of the team most of last season. We spent good money on him, and he is starting to show some of his promise, just needs a good run and the goals will come. He aint going anywhere.Im a palace fan and this rumour made me laugh.we couldnt match leicester on wages plus im sure he is happy there.Nuge will not sign for u or blackpool he hates both teamsHe probably made this to get it posted on the BBS. Fair play son.& we wouldnt wont that person at Brighton I wouldnt even wont him at palace as Id feel sorry for them!!Dreamer! What makes you think leicester with all there millions are gonna sell there top scorer? get a life!

LeicesterLadLeicesterLad? anyone that calls themselves lad is a right Colin.

Carl Jenkinson is one of the worst footballers to brace the world if he comes to palace I will get rid of my season ticket.

MAN UTD are looking at ARTURO VIDAL of Juventus following speculation that Bayern are very much leading the race to sign Utd's primary target Javi Martinez. Bayern are willing to part with £35M for the spaniard whereas Utd are not keen on spending a penny over £25M for a defensive midfielder. This is where the interest for Vidal comes in who scored 8 goals this season as an offer of around that amount would encourage the Serie A champions to sell. Juventus have already expressed their interest in signing Udinese's promising defensive mid Kwadwo Asamoah who could be seen as a replacement for the departure of Vidal.(7)(11)Vidal is an extremely classy player, once described as "an iron fist in a velvet glove". He'd be a great signing for Utd (or anyone else) but, bearing in mind Juve only bought him last year, I can't see him moving on just yet.Bet Vidal is handy with a hair dryer!

Southampton, whu and wba weighing up a bid of 1.8 million for Granada winger/striker Dani Benitez. His agent says he'd love to join the epl.

Sounds like an awful potential addition, he failed to score last season and was suspended for 3 months for throwing a bottle at a referees face after losing to real madrid.(8)(7)He would suit West Ham thenHe could join BartonHe's available for free

23 May 2012 14:12:52
Louis van Gaal received the offer to become the new technical Director at Liverpool. Together with the new manager, he will be responsible for the first team results(14)(5)Now, I know livpool realy mean bizness, hope 2 see a good manager being signedResponsible for first team results? Nonsense.

DoF is responsible for scouting and recruitment - if the Head Coach then doesn't make use of the players by achieving results then he is solely responsible.

If what you're saying is true, that means a poor run of results would mean that both the DoF AND the Coach would be sacked. Again.

I don't think they're THAT silly...Oooh, they're pretty silly

I'm a Leeds fan and I'm getting so fed up with the Bates regime of not having any money to buy players to get us into the Premiership. He expects Warnock to trawl through the bargain basement and still achieve promotion. What planet is he living on?Players are wanting to leave and god only knows why any player would want to join us. Very Very depressed he talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. Bates out please(30)(3)Give it a rest!!!!! i see all the other championship teams have signed 5 or 6 players already, we have too many negative fans, we where a massive club once, now we are not and rebuilding takes time!! not seen lines and lines of arabs willing to buy us! and i tell you why because we have to many fans like you who live in cloud cuckoo land, get real and be patient m.o.tStop moaning look at what Leicester did when they spent money, it's not all about spending, Leeds is ment to have one of the best academys in the country, look there for players, I'm a reading fan and look what we done with a shoestring budgetPeople who moan about their chairman failing to back the manager financially make me laugh. You want someone else to spend their money on YOUR club but will moan when your season ticket price goes up to cover costs.Doe,nt it just get on your tit,s when you get idiots like the last 3 who have replied to this thread ! Bates is a Leech ! All he has done since buying the club for £1 per share ! is hound the council for rights to build on the East stand facing car park ! Fabian Delph 8mill Johnny howson 2mill kasper smicheal 2mill !! And what as the mr Big put back in !? NOTHING ! He has invested in corporate box,s !!! whats his next big idea ? use the east stand function rooms as a casino !! Bates wont pay wages to keep the rising Elland road stars ! All bates as done is line his pockets ! with the ONLY BIG club IN YORKSHIRE ! no doubt the !st person who commented was a Bradford city fan 2nd a Sheff utd fan And as for the Reading fan ! person Get a life Your club has just been bought by a Billionaire so don't come the ! Oh didnt we do well speech Self self-righteous P":CKWe (reading) have been a selling club for years and have still reached the prem twice, every season we have had to sell players (long, Siggy, Doyle, hunt , kitson) the list goes on) the new chairman has not spent a penny aside from Roberts wages which isn't anything major. At least your club is still running unlike other teams who spend money and it soon hits back at them

Ex Plymouth Keeper Luke McCormack has starting training with town(15)(4)Yes since February when he started day release from prisonAlot of Town fans not happy with this because of what McCormick did which was kill two children whilst twice over the drink limit and also the father is paralysed all due to him drinking.
There is going to be alot of unhappy fans if he signs. He is on trial for preseason so we will have to see what happens next with this.What a complete Joke!
This guy should not be aloud to play football for anyone ever again!Which Town? I failed clairvoyant stage 2!

Ed can we have a rumours page just for the psychics?So Joey Barton goes a little bit nuts on the football pitch during the game and gets pilloried for it but a convicted killer possibly signing for a league team gets LESS press coverage!! No wonder football is ruined.Swindon town if anyone confusedI don't think its a bad thing he's done his time and will have to cope with it for the rest of his life. if he plays football again maybe it would help him get over it. not saying what he done wasn't completely irresponsible, stupid etc but everyone deserves a second chanceAgreed with that last comment, Plus remember Lee Hughes (Notts County) Hit and run and went to prison, Came back to play football at a similar level.If it's something which he is naturally gifted at then so what... I bet if the dad was in Luke's shoes then he would try and carry on his career!

 


23 May 2012 13:24:07
West Ham to sign Danny Simpson from Newcastle(5)(14)Quite literally anyone is welcome to him. Even Sunderland I'd let take him, hell, I'd be happy for the mackems to take him, maybe they'll slide even further from their expectations. Hard as it is to believe.

Joey Barton is signing for WHU! Should be done by next Wednesday!(14)(34)And He will make his premiership debut sometime around Christmas - VERY unlikely ANYONE will touch him or even speak to him before they know how long he will be out.Good player but we wont be able to use for a while as he is likely to have a long ban for that viliont conductHe would drag West Ham into a relegation scrapHe should be banned from football for life.

He WILL disgrace the game again no matter what he says.He has a 12 match banD. Sullivan specifically said in an interview with the Sun that the ONLY player he would never ever sign would be Barton. If someone has told you this rumour then they are wrong/lying. But personally I think you just made this up on the spot. {Ed025's Note - dont buy the sun!

 


23 May 2012 13:21:34
It is believed that Rotheram United Manager Steve Evans is preparing a bid for Cheltenham Town ace Kaid Mohamed and has had a 3 figure sum rejected by Bristol Rovers for Mustapha Carayol.(7)(7)3 figure sum? no wonder it was rejected..how much was it? £100?Reckon you mean 6 figure sum palThey are not ace's if they are playing in League 2That's amazing as rovers rejected the bid from a championship side, rumored to be Derby or Middlesborough

 


23 May 2012 13:15:17
George McCartney and Keiran Richardson are Upton Park bound.(20)(4)With Richardson and McCarthy on there way which l think would be great cause we need speed in the squad l also would like Charmak Elmahamady,Ohlsen J.Cole

Bristol City are interested in a few players. Expected to make bids for the following players;

David Templeton, Danny Swanson, Scott Laird, Marlon Pack, Ryan McGivern, Kyle Lafferty and Stephen McManus.(5)(17)Nothing short of utter pish really. Templeton, Swanson and Lafferty are all too good for themWe would never never never ever try and get useless mcgivern back. Bristol city are a good team and wil get pack, mohnsi, keogh and lafferty

 


23 May 2012 12:44:21
Robert Snodgrass (£5.5m), Jordan Rhodes (£5.5m) and James Mcfadden (free with £500K signing on fee) all Wigan bound! Wigan can expect good creativity and goals form these acquisitions!(10)(31)I hope so, Leeds could do with 5.5 mil , would get 4 players for that!Rhodes + Snodgrass fees will not be near those figures.Im a Wigan fan and although I hope these deals happen, I doubt they will. There is a really good feeling around Wigan ATM and Whelan is willing to invest in the team as long as Martinez is still here.

But I agree with the above comments, neither Snodgrass or Rhodes are worth 5mill+Maybe about 5mil for all threeObvious lie... wigan cant afford to pay out 10mill+ just like thatIf henderson cost liverpool 20 mil,snodgrass is a bargain far better player.Snodgrass and rhodes are bit expensive for wigan. aren't they?Wigan can afford to pay out 10mill... they are one of the best ran clubs in the countrySnodgrass and Rhodes will easily command £11m between them!! Only people who don't know what they are talking about would disagree!

 


23 May 2012 12:38:01
Readings Jimmy Kebe is unlikely to be able to make the step up to the Premier leagues with chamionship favourites charlton the most likely target(8)(25)That's just all that can be said about thatCharlton are only favourites to be relegated! Kebe is too good for such an insignificant teamPhha!! good one. kebe will be the drving force of our attack from the wingJust LOL at this rumourJimmy Kebe will storm the premier league. Who wrote that post is a monkey. Ok he might get found out after a few months but his pace will be the downfall of the lower teams in the premiership. There's only one jimmy kebe!Get a life have the school holidays startedWho are these people who post this rubbish.he's just signed a new contract after the club went out of their way to stop him from leaving in the summerAnd why is he unlikely to make the step up? He's quality and I he's going to leave considering he signed a new contact in JanuaryHe'll need to pull his socks upWhat a load of complete bcks!!What a laugh. Kebe only signed a new contract to be in the prem. go away unless you have a true rumour.Kebe could be hit or miss in the prem league I agree last time he was awful and kept falling over all the time if he makes the grade he could bea very good player, but I cant see him being sold.Are even a charlton fan? Because real charlton fans like me know Kebe wont be coming to us, also Chris Powell said he will buy sensibly not buying everyone.Charlton...favourites... are you mad ?!?! Bolton are the favourites you deluded Charlton fan and alot of clubs bigger than Charlton want Jimmy Kebe. Get yourself clean mate, drugs are bad.Why stop with Kebe, Charlton might as well sign Ronaldo whilst they're at itJimmy will be playing in the prem next season Reading not going to let him go to a team like Charlton.Considering charlton are an overall bigger club in terms of history and success, buri agree that kebe wont be with us and wil be fine in the prem but that person that said we are insignificant needs to look at his own club before saying stuff like that!Lol its only reading ffs back down next yearYeah saying Charlton are insignificant is rash. They donned league 1, wouldn't surprise me if they do really well next season

Challenge for play-off places maybe?Reading will be relegated after a season in the Prem, so Kebe may as well stay there.Please ignore this rumour it is started by and propergated by an Ipswich fan, same as all the others.Loving the people saying we'll be relegated next year, yeah cause our track record in the fa cup hasn't been good against prem teams, both everton and liverpool beaten in last couple of years and a strong man city side given a good run last year! yeah were really gonna just crumble under the force of these almighty sides, also to add that last year teams that did the best of promoted sides kept most same squad (what were doing) when people like qpr got rid of many key players just to struggle this year (not that west ham have just got rid of 6 and a couple of them have been pretty key to them cough cough) not saying we'll stay up for a good 20 year period or nothing but just annoyed people say were going down this season without giving us even half a chance despite our track record...I do think reading will stay up with the players and money they're prepared to spend, I could see you doing a Norwich/ SwanseaYou beat those teams in the fa cup well done, but may i point out you lost to charlton in the carling cupIt was a second string charlton side aswell. I can see reading breaking records, records for the least amount of points in premier league history!

Crystal Palace are on the verge of completing a deal for Aleksander Tunchev, the defender is a free agent after leaving Leicester City and previously enjoyed a spell at Selhurst Park last season. The club is also seeking to tie up deals for Paul McShane and Peter Ramage who are also free agents this summer, it is likely both will be signed by the club however Birmingham City, Blackpool and Blackburn Rovers are also interested in signing Peter Ramage

Jose Zamora is flying in from Spain to talk to Palace about a move from Real Madrid Castilla, the Barcelona born winger is keen on a move to England but other Spanish clubs are currently circulating the player this summer.

Palace are also looking at loaning Conor Wickham in for the season from Sunderland although a number of Championship clubs are also interested in securing Wickham services on loan for next season.(13)(10)Ipswich have first refusal on Wickham, clause built into the transfer.

LEEDS NEWS: Neil Warnock is said to be interested in Gavin Hoyte who was released from Arsenal. Paddy Kenny may be joining as early as next week from QPR as he wants to join up with former manager. Other rumours I have heard include Barton coming to Elland Road and Diouf joining him. Adam Clayton is expected to join Burnley and Aidy White is interesting Celtic. Tom Lees is talking to the club over a new contract.(15)(14)Considering you could not raise 450k for Joekl Ward and had to pull out your very ambitious or deluded at Elland RoadWarnock may be interested in a lot of players, but if Bates doesn't back him then that's that.Wot a joke that would be.cmon sparky you said we would never be in that position again. Kd and oh.
oh oh noI could see kenny going but not DioufWarnock will not want diouf warnock thinks he is a sower rat

Mourinho signed his new deal at Madrid yesterday after they promised to do all they could to lure RVP to Madrid.

Nigel Reo-CoCker is expected to sign for West Ham. Big Sam is also likely to go after Paul Robinson of Blackburn as Rob Green has expressed an interest in playing abroad.

Jordan Rhodes is expected to wait to see if Huddesfield will be promoted before deciding his future but he is expected by many to join Aston Villa if Simon Grayson gets the managers job there.(11)(9)

Leeds are strongly linked with recently released Emile Heskey after failing with a loan move in january.(12)(23)Can't wait 15 goals in 3 1/2 years for the villa should be looking good for next year! Can't imagine why Villa released him what a snip... C'mon boys lets build a decent side that deserve to wear the badge, a team that will fight for the cause, not just this next year, but a team to get us up and stay up! We don't need has-beens like Heskey, Smith and Bowyer! MOT

sinclair to aston villa 6.5m(5)(24)Quidetta has been released so no need to loan himYour think of the wrong player mate haha, guidetti scored 20 goals for feyenoord last season and had 10 assissts man city want him to get prem experience for the 2013/2014 season, why would they realease him?Moore is definately not coming to Derby. The mighty rams had a chance to buy him a couple of years ago, but decided not to due to his wage demands.Take Emnes please, he spends more time on his arse that playing football, but sadly i don't think this post is too reliable.Why would Sinclair want to drop down to go to Aston Villa??Its not football manager mateHeard that defoes coming in on loan? dont think it would happen tho due to wage demands?

Leicester to beat Ipswich to the transfer of Alan Judge for 600,000(11)(14)800.000.more likely.Yep, that sounds about right. We'll just stand by and watch players go to other clubs.Why would he take a step down by signing for ipswichStep down? so would it be nothing wrong if he signed for Leicester then?Hes not for sale hes staying with nottsI don't understand why it would be a step down to play for Ipswich who are competing in a higher division? Judge is a great little player and I for one would be sorry to see him go but the club should not stand in his way if the price is right. I believe he will go for £650k - and that is a steal.

DUBLIN PADDYHe won't be sold until the new West Brom manager is in place and if he is sold it won't be for 1.5mCox has just signed a new contract at The Baggies so he wont be on the move for as little as £ 1.5 million or even the january transfer window at the earliest if he does n,t get enough games under the new managerSimon hasn't signed a new deal, west brom have decided to activate a 12 month extension clause so they didn't lose him on a free transfer and could demand a fee, owned

ED just seen Whittingham at the Madejski Hotel! Was staying there for a conference and saw him being greeted by Nicky Hammond.

Any further info you could give us? Or is it just a generic talk he's doing with a few clubs? {Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware, he is not interested in moving anywhere, though I guess his head could have been turned by the chance of a return to the Prem.}(4)(14)Whittingham tweeted earlier about the holiday he is on outside the UK so I don't think he is in Reading any like Ed said he isn't going anywhere.

Ogude would struggle with a work permit, White is Premiership-bound, and Nielsen is very highly rated in his homeland.You do realise White will be a free agent, so you'll be giving us a player for free and then paying us in compensation (1.5mil) because of White's age. Because that makes perfect business sense.Ogude has now got a work pernitIs the poster about White being a free agent stupid? If the deal was to go through, then the compensation package would be Steve Davies, it isn't just limited to moneyConor Doyle next season is the stand in right mid next season maybe a couple starts

Rotherham are keen on signing former Miller Kevin Ellison from Morecambe for a fee in the region of 60k. Steve Evans is a big admirer of the left sided player who has just scored 17 goals for the shrimpers this season. Evans is also chasing Kyle McFadzean and keeper Scott Shearer from former club Crawley.(8)(6)Kevin Ellison recently signed a new contract at Morecambe FC and Manager Jim Bentley sees him as an important player next season. Very unlikey that any move to Rotherham or anywhere else will happen.

Richard Hinds to sign for Yeovil Town today(6)(3)Maybe tomorrow if himself and the club can agree terms. All I can say is that we are negotiations with Richard Hinds as well as many other targets.Guys we must not forget he was on a development contract, the envitable was his release at the end of the season It's about development. he player in the Cyprus second division for a time apparently. He maybe could handle league two but he didn't play at all this season, that proves something because Skiverton and Johnstone are experienced and realise the standard needed. He will stay a reserve player most likely at Hereford as well.1 - Skiverton isn't experience in the managerial world.
2 - Who is Johnston

Moyes has long been an admirer of the striker who scored 29 goals this season.(19)(19)If Southampton are not going to pay over the odds for him then Everton won'tHeard this too as he wants to team him with Jelavic. dont know if Everon will get enough money unless they sell first.Everton have more money than southampton, theyre getting 10 million for the nike kit and hooper would rather sign for everton than southamptonBalls mate. hooper would rather sign for adkins at the saints. thats obvious like. dont just say everton cause you think there the bigger team. its not always about that and also southampton have alot of money abd quite a bit more than everton do. david moyes transfer budget the past 4 years anyone?Why would you want to sign for Southampton over Everton? Southampton are delegation fodder whereas Everton are established in EPL.

Anyone else heard this?(13)(13)He can keep KD company in the treatment roomI think this would be a good shout/pay as you playWith a name like OWIN! he should be signing for GLASGOW RANGERS!

Tom Curle ‏@LawFirmFootball
Got a busy week ahead! Meeting at @MANCH235TER tomorrow then off to wigan wednesday, coventry thursday and derby friday

SEE THE ABOVE THIS IS JAMES CATON AGENT THIS SIGNING WILL BE DONE ON FRIDAY.
Live tweet form twitter(0)(9)Derby are NOT signing james caton we are getting Michael Jacobs and if failing that Daniel Powell.James Caton is at best
a league 2 player.Otherwise he would have featured for Bolton by now and
Bolton are not favourites to go back up because they will be loosing alot of players.So if he was Npower championship stanard they wouldnt let him go.For a winger he has no pace but average skillNo chance are CCFC spending .05m let alone the numbers being put forward - JOKESigning for which club??That is Directly off of the Twitter account of Tom Curle and is a copy and paste job. Tom Curle is his agent and James Caton is being brought by Derby County mark my words....Ive heard of Sheffield Wednesday but who are Wigan Wednesday?Ha ha. .Caton is signing for Derby, his twitter feed confirms it, but this post is ridiculous

For those who said Paul Lambert has asked to leave Norwich City to go to Aston Villa, stop making things up. PL said at a interview last night at Adam Drury's testimonial: "I am delighted I am at norwich if that's what you're asking. I never said a word that I want to get away. Not a thing and people jump to conclusions about what I say or what I don't say"

He earlier refused to talk about Holt leaving, and they are still in talks.
Hopefully both will stay.(14)(9)To be fair, Lambert made a rod for his own back when he told the media he was could not answer the question if he would be in charge next season. He obviously was putting feeler sout for the Villa job and is now back tracking. Either that or he has made a major PR gaffNo , He has just negotiated a nice pay rise for himself.He was covering himself incase he got an offer he couldnt refuse. If he came out and said he was fully committed to the club and the Liverpool came in with a progressive plan, money to spend and time to build a team rather than expecting instant results, which no one would blame him for taking, he would look a right ct. Hes always been the same. He used this last season to secure a bigger budget, and im sure they will have squeezed a few more ££s out for him again in the light of this, this year.

Hes happy, hes settled and (unless a BIG offer comes in, not Villa...) he aint going anywhere!He played the same game when Burnley made an approach, its what agents make people do these days. keeps him in control. he is a huge asset to NCFC and will leave eventually so he has to play the game to keep progressing and build his reputation. dont think it will be this time with villa though, theres a reason other managers are turning down the chance to manage there right now.

 


23 May 2012 08:49:46
Leeds radio aire just reported interest from portsmouth for billy painter(19)(7)Yes,the stadium could do with a lick of paint-but he should insist on cash up front!
They currently can't afford to buy a can of Dulux, let alone sign a player. Even "frees" expect to get wages.WARD is the bait and Pompey need a stiker for Div 1. Paynter good at this level. Pompey losing players and no money. Leeds got no money but want to offload to reduce Ward feePaynter set to leave on a free not for a fee

Reading are scouting 18 year old 6ft 5 Panathinaikos keeper Stefanos Kapino. Valued at £2m and also being tracked by Arsenal and Juventus. Extremely young, but already a bit of experience. Sal Bibbo flew out to watch him. This could mean the sale or l(10)(12)Well done on breaking a story that had already been broken by reading 5 hours ago. Clap clap clap.I dnt know how true this is, we have enough keepers already. Federici should of made the Chmpionship team of the season and we have a good back up as well.Reading are not going to let sentimental value get in the way of signing someone with great potential. Why would we not want to sign a player with much more potential than any keeper we have at the club. He fits the general mould of a Reading player and valued at £2million, we wouldnt need to overspend which is something both Owner and Manager have vowed not to do.Can't hurt to have some depth after Feds. Only 18, why not give him a shot, could be greatReading are gonna get relegated and i am a reading fan!"Reading are gonna get relegated and i am a reading fan!"

Firstly I doubt you are a reading fan and secondly unless you have a crystal ball you don't know this."Can't hurt to have some depth after Feds" What...? We already have McCarthy and Andersen, both top young keepers. If that's not depth I don't know what is.I really can't see Reading being relegated next season. We were the best team in the league last season, we were champions, we played as a team. We have money. We will most likely buy a good goalscorer or two, and build the rest of the team gradually. We'll just have to wait and see but I can't see us being relegated next season.

Mark McGhee has spoken to his old club Motherwell about a fee for forward Jamie Murphy. He has been put off by their £50k valuation however and looks set to sign Jon Nurse from Dagenham on a free(3)(8)Murphy wud be more than 50k ya numpty

daviebhoy08Lol motherwell already rejected bid of more than 500k in january

 


23 May 2012 08:24:33
I went to the Norwich VS Celtic Adam Drury testimonial match last night(Norwich won 2-0) and with the way Lansbury played(he scored the 2nd goal, and I was directly on the line where I was sitting, and it only JUST slowly rolled across the line), Lansbury was fantastic. Some amazing passes and shots from him. I would love if we even just tried to sign him.

Pacheco was also good, played in a kind of CAM position after starting the 2nd half beside Wilbraham. He would seem like a fantastic signing.
OTBC(17)(8)Lansbury would be a class signing, that man couls hit a 50 pence peice with 40 yard ball! utter class!

micheal owen might be leave man u as stoke have shown intrest(6)(24)Might? He has not been offered a new contract and is available as a free transfer!Hes been rleased by man united. stoke looks his set destinationI would say he is very likely to leave Man Utd as he has been released hasnt he?Michael Owen HAS left Man Utd. His contract expired. Nothing to do with Stoke.Micheal Owen might be leaving Man U--- He is leaving they not giving him a new contract and his current one runs out next month!Why are top clubs still interested in this loser

 


23 May 2012 08:07:15
Bounemouth, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace have approached Miles Addison's representatives. Derby have transfer listed the CB/CM.(14)(7)I hope one of the other teams sign him not us at bournemouth wasent impressed with him when he was on loan with usYour comment fills me with joy if he was rubbish at league 1 what hope do championship teams have

 


23 May 2012 07:50:22
Dani Pacheco and Henri Lansbury both played for Norwich in Adam drurys testimonial last night. This increases norwichs chances of getting them both. Deal could be done soon.(24)(12)Lansbury has already said he is close to joining west ham,Norwich have no Monet for transfers hence lambert wanting villa jobPure speculation. I think they were just all close friends when they were both on loan at Norwich.

It'd be great to see them join Norwich, but I don't think last nights testimonial was a trial.

By the same logic, Huckerby will be returning to Norwich.Of course Norwich have money for transfers. Lambert himself said he has a similar pot to last year where he spent (summer and Jan combined) close to 18million. Not up there with the big boys but its a decent amount. And as this season we only need 3-4 quality additions rather than an overhaul it is enough.Norwich have no money? Spent 18m last season, with probably the same or a little bit more this season...

 


23 May 2012 07:35:26
Here is a rumour, with a little fact behind it from the THISISSTFC web page:
Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson has revealed that Town have previously courted Posh forward Nicky Ajose.

Rumours were rife on the internet yesterday linking the young frontman with a move to the County Ground, and Ferguson said Swindon have taken a look at the 20-year-old in the past.(9)(2)Would love this..... Swindon have some cash to risk at what amounts to a young lad who will never make the grade, crawley tended to take on players we threw money away on and with steve Evans moving to Rotherham we haven't had a club silly enough to take on our poor transfer decisions

 


23 May 2012 07:28:34
Peterborough will use the money from the sales of Boyd, Taylor, Ball, Tomlin, Micky Ajose, Mark Little & McCann thought to be in the region of £5.5m and the Ryan Bennett money to fund the following signings as Darren Ferguson wants to overhaul his squad. Luke Freeman & Michael Bostwick - £1.9m Stevenage. Luke O'Neill - Mansfield - £450k. Danny Swanson - Dundee United - Free. Stephen Gleeson - MK Dons - Free. Ben Amos - Manchester United - £400k. Brian Woodall - Dagenham & Redbridge - £180k. Tom Heaton - Cardiff - Free(11)(14)Heaton will sign for Sheff Wed to be with his old mate D Jones again, he's too good for Peterborough... McMackay should never have let him go.Too Good For Peterborough But Yet Tour Saying He's going To Sign For Sheff Wed ? How's That Work Then.And Peterborough are too good for Cardiff the perienial play off flops, good luck with Joe,You won't get Gleeson for free. He's under 24 so you would have to pay (usually to the value of the contract we have offered him, which is about £200K by my reckoning)Dream on posh

 


23 May 2012 07:25:59
Ex-Man City player Gai Assulin is signing for Cardiff, Huddersfield or Derby.(13)(16)UMMM Barca, Man City and Derby!! speaks for itself really.Derby won't sign Assulin, Clough prefers players from the lower leagues - can't get enough of them.

 


23 May 2012 07:22:16
West Ham have offered James McFadden a contract in an attempt to steal him from Wigan who had offered him a trial.(13)(11)Will never sign him west ham are relagation favourites he will probaly go to an upcoming team like wiganI dont think so . West Ham have plenty of strikers and I think Wigans strong scottish links would make them favourites . He would be a good experienced squad player .This sounds plausable! West Ham do need some creativity and PL experience would be vital! Also might help that Jordan Rhodes is coming (Scottish link).

Louis van gaal to come in as liverpools director of football with avb taking over as manager. With these two in charge Liverpool will attract a higher calibre of players because of AVB's Brazilian contact and van gaal's years of managing at the highest level(10)(14)How will this gurarantee a better calibre of player exactly? The bigger name players will not go to Anfield as there is no Champions League football and the club are gradually losing touch with the clubs in the top 5. Liverpool will be a long term project with no quick fix.Who are the top 5 then??Pretty clear that untied city arsenal chelsea and spurs are miles ahead of liverpool.even everton finished above them.how can a team who finished 8th attract top quality players.liverpools days of being a top club are well and truly over

Blackpool will be keeping Thomas Ince and Matt Phillips but will be getting rid of Brett Ormerod(8)(18)IF....you are a Pool fan you would know that Brett is being offered a job within Ollies backroom set up and he's only looking at 4 or 5 new "quality" signingsThe only true part of this rumour is Brett who has been released.If you want dobbie then your losing either ince or phillips ;)Wooooo! Up The Pool!Blackpool might get steven davies but never theo robinson, we do need strikers awell ya know..."Blackpool will be keeping Thomas Ince and Matt Phillips"

That is yet to be seen, don't be surprised to see at least one of them go.You wont get theoNeither matt Phillips or Tom Ince will leave, their careers have just started and first team football is guaranteed at blackpool, and who would walk away from that ?Naismith vould do better than Blackpool

Apparently Watford have been watching Billy Boden who is on loan at Crewe from Swindon. Stalling on a new Swindon contract now, anything in it I wonder?(10)(3)Good onePlease take loach..no worries from 11000 hornets fan.Dunno he had a cracking last game of the season, unless we pay decent money not sure we will get anything better. If he could kick the ball in a straight line, be mroe decisive and come out and claim at corners he would be premier standard

Ferguson has a limited transfer kitty and While hes got evra he wont spend half that kitty on baines when they need to add quality to other areas, fact. Dont believe that poor excuse of a newspaper the mirror.(19)(5)Apparently his main oncern is a CB, the club has been linked with re-signing Gerard Pique (unlikely I know as he is doing well at Barca)Evra has Benin under performing for a couple of years know, he needs someone to push him for the first team spotBarcelona have enquirer about evra, I believe real Madrid have enquirer about either Rooney, real would consider a part ex for khedira, want to pair rooney back with ronaldo and also rvp who united would be interested in selling rooney for 100million or Hernandez who united want 30 million for. Berbatov on his way back to spurs if they don't sort adebayor out.

it appears to be one football division now featuring southampton, charlton, notts county, rotherham, and crawley buying ll the players leaving all the other clubs without players so goodnight(12)(4)Jealous? just sayinAnd leicester, and reading etc.West Ham & Norwich too.It's a rumour siteCrawley have very surprisingly and worringly for Crawley supporters not brought any players in yet since O'Driscoll's arrival. No pre-season fixtures announced either. Hmmmmm.Compared to other clubs the number of saints rumours is relatively lowAlso with Shearer not staying at Crawley because of money and Rotherham now saying Grabban is staying where he is after he couldn't agree terms, you have to wonder if the bubble has burst at Crawley.Lets not forget you can have only 25 man squadsLooking at their site, they currently have 12 players. I don't think the 25 man squad issue is in danger there.Saints 25 Man Squad Can Only be:
1. Davis
2. Richardson
3. Fonte
4. Hooiveld
5. Martin
6. Fox
7. Harding
8. De Ridder
9. Do Prado
10. Chaplow
11. Cork
12. Hammond
13. Schniederlin
14. Lallana
15. Lee
16. Sharp
17. Lambert
18. Butterfield
19.
20.
21.
22.
23.
24.
25.

That leaves 7 places that need to be filled, and it is not guaranteed that saints will sign everybody that they want- thats when there are possibilities. Don't get jealous now. Its call www.football-rumours.co.uk for a reason, its a rumour siteLuke Shaw, Calum Chambers, James Ward-Prowse and Jack Stephens have been promoted to the 1st team squad I believe. We will be signing a keeper to replace Bart. Harding I'm sure will be sold and I have a feeling Guly might go too. That leaves 4 excluding the new keeper coming in. Striker, Centre back, right winger and either a centre mid/left wing of left back. I'd go for a solid experienced centre mid. We'll need that this season.U18s dont count towards the squad, so it will be 7 spaces free, and it is unlikely that Cortese will want to replace more then 7 people, so for that reason I do believe that Do Prado and Harding will both stay. Though I can see Lee Barnard being sold with all of the speculation over us buying a new striker along with Dan Seabourne, is unlikely to be able to step up sufficiently.Good striker but not for chamionship.Home grown players under 21 do not count towards the 25 man squad25 man squad only applies to over 21 year olds so the list is cor
rectAll the players under 21 dont need to be registered :)Under 21's don't have to be included in the 25 man squad.

Aston Villa to name Steve Bruce as manager next week as he is free agent and will not cost Randy Lerner to buy out of contract, reliable source(15)(16)I have heard the same rumour tonight from a member of the back room staff, can't believe Lerner would go for another ex blues manager but it looks like it might happenVilla have learnt there lesson.
Still a ton of better managers wanting the job!
AVFCforLife! (or until Stephen Wonky Nose Bruce gets the job!)Lambert is going to be next villa boss,he has already had talks 2 days ago and randy was impressedNo Lambert hasn't had talks with Villa, Norwich wouldn't let Lambert leave without a fight.

Anyway Lambert said last night, hes NEVER ask to leave & is VERY happy at Norwich.All wrong, No Rafa Benitez is an absalout stick on! Get your money on now!!!No approach from villa for lambert. source: SSN & NCFC. so any talks would be tapping up. stop making up crap.

Cardiff have agreed a deal with West Ham regarding Peter Whittinngham. A fee of £4m will be enough to see the midfielder leave. Cardiff will look to invest this money in to all areas of the squad.

Adam Le Fondre, Reading, £1.5m
Darren Ambrose, Crystal Palace, £1.5m
Danny Gabbidon, free transfer
Michael Kightly, free transfer
Jason Shackell, Derby, £2m(5)(43)Reading will not sell Le Fondre.....it's like talking to a brick wall with some of you Cardiff fans. Thus rumour has appeared and been dismissed about 10 times already.You can have ambrose he's a passenger in most gamesKightly has signed a new 3 year deal.....You're not getting Shackell.Why would we let Kightly who is contracted leave on a free, especially as everyone knows Jarvis is leavingReading value Church, who is far, far, worse than Le Fondre at £2m. So if you think we would sell ALF (which we won't) for anything less than £3-£4m (not that we'll be selling him at all) you can think on. And to think you Cardiff fans called us deluded.Why are Cardiff constantly posting about Alfie? Its never going to happen!As a Cardiff fan I'm fed up of seeing Le Fondre linked with us...I don't want him here and he is no where near worth 3 - 4 mill more like 1 - 2 mill.Shackell haha dont make me laugh, we're not selling him end of...How do you know what our values are. Church would be about £500k and ALF would be slightly more. We bought him for £350k a year ago and all he's proved is that he can't get in our team. £3-4mil is a joke.Really where does everyone get these ideas from, us selling our super sub who has got us the most goals over the season... not happening bud even if cardiff are looking we aint selling, plus alfie is growing as player here, start of season yeah but iffy but his form at end of the season, it was like watching an entirely different player, no way, gotta say though would be happy to take whittingham off your handsLooking like Cardiff have turned thier attention to Jay Rodriguez , £5.5m bid according to The Mirror and Wales Online?!?!?Le Fondre is our top goal scorer, he will make alot more appearances next season"All Alf's done is prove he can't get in our team".....you mad bro? He was our top scorer and scored important braces against Leeds and Southampton. But yeh he's done nothing you're right....moronThat adds up to £5m.How many starts did he make in the last 15 games? 1? Thank you. I really like ALF, should have been partnering Roberts but he didn't-fact. Just saying he's not worth £1mill let alone £3-4mill."Just saying he's not worth £1mill let alone £3-4mill"

In todays current market he's worth a lot more than one million, it doesn't matter how many games he's started recently he is top scorer for the champions of the championship.ALFs a top player! stupid comments about him not breaking into the team. Some players aren't meant to start every game. LOOK AT THE IMPACT HES MADE FROM THE BENCH!Alf can't get in our team? Have you not noticed that he's used as a sub because he is effective as a sub? Hunt an Roberts start because Hunt wins the flicks and Roberts scores the goals or brings it down. ALF doesnt work like Roberts or Hunt who are perfect for each other. ALF is quick, clever and intuitive - just what you need to save a game. Also what you're saying is, if we bought someone from the Championship for say, £200k, and next season he scored 20 goals, you'd only value him higher? Crazy. I know what our values our through my source...Look, I didn't want to upset anyone but the people on here are a bit silly. ALF isn't worth £3-4mill, end of. Church certainly isn't worth £2million. Lets not give our player silly price tags, they shouldn't have price tags. That's why your "source" is make believe.

Norwich Keeper Declan Rudd will sign for Peterborough United(14)(19)Not likely as Norwich would need him as a backup keeper along with steerLoan deal with recall is very likely. Both him and Steer need games so i would like this to happen for development purposes. Ideally we would sign an older backup and get them both out on loan with recall clauses and see them progress.Dont think we need an older keeper, both are decent enough for Ruddy's backup!

Paul green to sign 2year deal at Ipswich by the weekend,Ipswich also hoping Joel ward will pick them over palace by the weekend.

Daryl murphy looks close to completing a return to portman road on another season long lone deal,making the payer a free agent at the end of next season.

Ipswich also close to agreeing fee with Watford for Scott loach.

Players out- Ellington back to bristol rovers
Peters to yeovil(14)(19)Wishful thinking (coming from an Ipswich fan). Although Murphy looks like he might be signing a permanent deal soon with us.Why would we sell our first choice keeper to a divisional rival without any other established keeper? absolutly ridiculous. you re not getting loach so deal with itYou would only get Loach if we got Kuszczak or another top goalie on the cheap.

Also some of the rumoured prices are a bit too low. Don't expect to get the £2m+ clauses we rejected a season or two ago but still.You've got to be kidding me another stupid ipswich rumour!
to be fair loach is a ipswich fan but with watford releasing there back up goal keeper accordind to ipswich were playing iwelumo in goal next season. Maybe if ipswich offered 1.5m then watford would be interested and would hope get the cheltenham keep in he looks solid!Apparently rooney ia prepared to take a pay cut to move to ipswich. Dream on love scotty aint going anywhereIs'nt Loach contract up in the summer?Ipswich will not persue Loach now Guzan has become avaiable on a free.Loachs contract is up next summer not this summerNope, he still has one year methinksWatford wont ditch Loach until they have signed a replacement as only back up is about 19. Tamas Kuzeck (spelt wrong I know) top Watford target wont decide where he will sign until after the Euros. So dream on tractor boys unless you are gonna pay over the odds.That's alright we will have him for free next yeah then simplePay £6 million and you can have loach hes rubbish any way.

Doncaster favourites to sign Tom Taiwo as he's rejected a new contract offer at Carlisle, also Doncaster interested in signing Damien Reeves, Paul Huntington, Grant McCann, Izale McLeod and also William Grigg!(5)(6)Paul Huntingdin has signed for PrestonHuntington to pne confirmed so thats one off your list
DevonGreenMccan is going to bristol city, mcleod is going to yeovil and huntington has gone to pne, so unluckyWhy is McCann going to Bristol City? Because you said he is?Like mcleod would pick yeovil over rovers yeovil play like a sunday league teamIf u want tom it will cost due to age regardless if he has no contract

 


22 May 2012 21:41:12
Southampton speedster Steve De Ridder currently having a medical at Wolves as part of a "Money plus player deal" which will see Matt Jarvis arrive at St Mary's.(10)(25)We wont let steve go. Defo not for jarvisMakes sense. Hope so.I'd rather Puncheon went as part exchange but Jarvis and Lallana out wide would be nice!Doubt this is true but would love to see Jarvis at Southampton.
If De Ridder was part of deal it I think the cash part would be in the region of 3/4 million.Wolves have said "only cash up front and 10m"So de ridder is worth 6/7 million lucky if you get 1 mil for him try 9.5mil and de ridder then may get a look in but haha no chance.De Ridder is the only pace we have in the team at the moment, cant see us getting rid of him when we need pace in hte prem.12 premiership clubs have enquired about Jarvis. With that in mind i think he is more likely to choose an established premiership club. I'm not trying to predict where saints finish either.De Ridder is faster, more dynamic, better crosses & full of confidence.....How is he any less of a player than Jarvis? Not saying either player is worth ten mill because thats just daft...but muppet wolves fans pluming for that kind of money are deluded.Bull. De Ridder is on holiday atm, check his twitter account.De ridders crosses are useless, don't even try saying they are good. good with everything else.Love all the bitter wolves fans with their 'haha no chance' championship bound and championship is where you will stay for years to come. Jarvis will go for 4-5m Im surprised he hasnt already handed in a transfer requestIm a huge southampton fan, but seriously some people are so deluded. How is Steve worth 6/7 million?? He couldnt even get in our team last year and now we are in the premiership he has not got a hope in hell!!
Would love to see Jarvis up the st marys, would be a great signing with Llanna on the other side + chaplow can then play more central. I hope this little rumour becomes a reality :-)"but muppet wolves fans pluming for that kind of money are deluded." - We're not deluded at all mate, the club wants 10 million and has reiterated numerous times now we don't have to sell therefore 10 million is a realistic fee we can expect, especially when jarvis would be content to stay if the right offer doesnt come along! anyone thinking jarvis will leave for 4/5 million is deluded and you sir who wrote that is probably amongst themI don't think Jarvis will end up at Saints...They are going to be a risk next year. He's got options with established teams.Wolves may not have to sell and of course no relegated club wants to lose its best players. But that is largely irrelevant. He won't want to play in the championship and if a player wants away from a relegated club he'll go, they always do. He won't be at milieux come August end of.
Price wise 10mill is ludicrous. I suspect wolves are resigned to losing him and starting the bidding high. He'll go for between 5-7 mill. Personally I hope we don't spend that much. If we are going tomake one big money signing I'd spend on a top notch centre back. We could go abroad for a winger and pay half what Jarvis is worth. Decent player though wouldn't be upset to see him at st.marys.Jarvis £10m, Fletcher £9m, Doyle £4m etc...etc.. how the hell did wolves finish bottom this season with this amount of talent on their books .... heheheheI find it incredible that people refer to the newly promoted teams as 'a risk'. Promoted teams didn't do too badly last season did they? It's complacency that kills you.

22 May 2012 21:34:38
Southampton winger Adam Lallana who excelled in this years championship is rumoured to be holding talks in the North-east with Newcastle and Sunderland fighting for his signature.(13)(32)Adam bleeds red & white, he isnt going anywhere for anyone. he is getting married next year to a girl from southamton, his best mate plays for totton and his family live in southampton. so i really don't see him going anywhereHe won't leave. ^^Can never say never but i would be surprised if he did leave. He could of left last year when we were in the championship instead he opted to sign a new contract with us and now we are in the Prem i am sure he will stay for at least this season. Then depending on how we do he will make a decision on his future. My opinion only of course.Not likely 3 years left on his contractUnrealistic saints fans who feel that they can now compete with Newcastle and Sunderland, your club although well of financially is just not yet upto a good enough standard to attract these players that you all have written will be buying. I Personally don't get the hype over Lallana he seems to just cut inside continuesly and he will be found out in the Premier league.Not a chance. You clearly gave nothing better to do.Tosh, on twitter he has often referred to the fact he is a "saint4life"Absolute tosh.
Do you know anything about football? Adam Lallana could easily have gone to a prem club 2 years ago when we were in league 1 but he didn´t want to leave as he loves Southampton and it is where he has been since he was 7.
I expect him to follow in the steps of Le Tisser and be at the club untill he retires.
Anyway, why would he leave now that we are in the prem!? Common sense.Absolute garbage. Grow up!!Not happening...Lallana is dedicated to the Saints cause unlike previous academy stars!Lol ...Sunderland. The only place there is the football stadium. Not really an attractive move for Adam.If he has a good start to life in the Prem (which I'm sure he will) i could see the likes of the top 6 come sniffing around for him in January, until then he'll definately be a saints player...and if he did go I doubt he'd go to Sunderland as they are a mediocre team and also Newcastle wont want him as he isnt french speaking!Don't you young Skates have to go to bed earlier than this?
Get a life and stop being so silly.Adam Lallana is going nowhere. He would fail a medical due to an ongoing heart problem at any other premiership club, hence the reason why nobody from the premier league has tapped him up before.
Adam is by far our best player and will be fantastic for the saints and no others this season!Unlikely seeing as adam lallana is still in Las Vegas with Richard Chaplow, Jack Cork and Danny Fox, also he had the chance to join man united last year and turned it downHaa haa haa , i cant wait til next season , we are much better than everyone thinks ;)He's not even that good anyways, McClean and Larsson are twice as goodTo the above comment about him not being that good, i am guessing you are Saints season ticket holder, if you are not then you cant make a comment like that. I am a season ticket holder and i can tell you Lallana is a class act and one of few current Saints players that will shine in the prem. I dont no if he is better then McClean or Larsson because i dont watch them week in week out and it would be wrong to compare them. All i can say is he might just surprise a few next season.If you think McLean and Larsson are twice as good as Lallana then either you know nothing about football or have never seen him play. Or both!Saints fans get off your high horse, lallana maybe a good championship player but he is not proven in the Pl. and the comment about Larsson not being that good, he is the best free kick taker in the premier leagueTo the other fan, your not a SAFC season ticket holder so pipe down, McClean is not as good, well you must be on something,Adam's fiance would never let him leave the south coast anyway, regardless of all the other reasons keeping him at Southampton. As for how good he'll be in the Prem, we'll just have to wait and see!No Sunderland fan get off your high horse. Lallana wasn't a good Championship player. He was the best player in that league last year. He has represented England U21's and has been tracked by top prem teams ever since he broke into our first team. He is a tricky, skilful traditional out and out wide player. McLean and Larsson aren't like this. Totally different sorts of players. Dumb comparison!
Sunderland are a good club with a top manager and I think they'll do well next season but if Adam goes it'll be to a bigger club than Sunderland. Not knocking you, that's just a fact.To the post above, I understand what you are saying, but you must remember SAFC is a bigger club than SouthamptonI have a lot of time for Sunderland as a club. Top fans, the Tyne Wear derby is one of my favourites as a neutral, always electric!
However I don't quite agree that Sunderland are a bigger club than Saints. We have had a difficult few years on and off the pitch to say the very least but remember we were in the top flight for in excess of two decades and for a fair part of that time Sunderland were nowhere. It goes in cycles.
The north east is a hotbed for foot all fans and talent and have a super fanbase, top manager and good stadium. But Saints are really on the up, we have a promising young squad which we'll hopefully significantly add to in the coming weeks. We have a great fanbase as there are only two clubs in hampshire and no big clubs in the south west so we draw support from there. We are looking to increase capacity to 55,000, we have a good, ambitious young manager, one of the best academy's in the country. We have a crop coming through now who are being likened to Bale, Walcott, Chamberlain. We also have very, very wealthy owners. I am not getting carried away by this as some fans are. There has never been a suggestion that we are going to try and do a Chelsea or man city rather a slow build based on a vision of developing great young talent and not just flogging them on as we have done in the past.
I'm not naive I know we are in for a tough season the key is consolidation over the next 2 or 3 seasons. I think we will finish bottom half this season and Sunderland top half but we are coming from very different places. All said there are a lot of similarities between the two , including the kit!!
All in all I think they are probably on a par. I maintain that if Lallana goes and Christ I pray he doesn't, it will be to a top 6 club.

Bumped into old school friend Ross Wilson who confirmed that Watford have agreed to sign James Collins from Shrewsbury on 01st July with a compensation package agreed in the region of £100K plus add ons

Welcome on board James.(13)(7)If hes signed why isn't it official yet?Don't think that's trueReally?Not true! he may end up at Watford but this is a load of old cobblers. Collins is still contemplating a contract offer from Shrewsbury and the compensation package will be more than 100k.Wouldn't suprise me if the fee could rise to 150k as this seem to be the mist common compensation agreed for young players. But the shrewsbury fans who are saying 450k are kidding themselves hes a free agent from league 2!Someones telling a lie there. Why would this guy know and 100k is nowhere nearNot true.Ross wilson is head of watfords transfer operations so he would know, but 100k is a bit cheap. still some way to go in this one i thinkWhere would you bump into him? Ross Wilson is from Scotland.Why would he disclose private information with you? bore off with your lies.He would really tell you.Why would Shrewsbury accept £100k compensation? If Watford have offered that then we would ask for £500k to get more money from the tribunal.

Kagisho Dikgacoi has handed in his transfer request at Crystal Palace after a falling out with the management. It is believed that he was told that unless he showed a willingness to improve that he would not play a major role next season. Palace have accepted his request and are willing to cut their losses asking for only half the £600k they paid for him last summer.

With very little interest in the player in England it is thought that Kagisho is hoping to go back to his homeland of South Africa to continue his career.(4)(5)

Hes one of the dirtiest players, doesn't exactly fit in with the adkins mentality does it?And thats why you know nothing about football...He isn't one of the dirtiest players. He can't be compared to the like of Barton who has no brain...Don't read into the tabloids loving the Money teams and criticising the real football teams.

Millwall have made a bid for Wycombe Wanderers striker Stuart Beavon.

Beavon, who swept the board at the club's recent player of the season awards, scored 25 goals in all competitions for the Chairboys this term.

A number of clubs have been keeping tabs on Beavon and now they are ready to make a move for his services this summer.

Wycombe face a major battle to keep hold of Beavon following their relegation from League One with clubs higher up the football pyramid chasing his signature.

Charlton, Preston and Sheffield United have all expressed an interest in Beavon, but Millwall are hoping to steal a march on their rivals by tabling an offer for the player.

Millwall boss Kenny Jackett is keen to add to his attacking options next season and he is hoping to win the race for Beavon.(8)(4)Be quick kenny!coylLook this goalscoringrecord on wikipedia! Not good so I hope you get himHe looked a good player to me last year, his off the ball movement causing problems for defences.I don't think 171 goals from 374 matches is too bad to be honest, statistcally he has scored in 45% of the matches he has playedI don't think 171 goals from 374 matches is too bad to be honest, statistcally he has scored in 45% of the matches he has played
------------------------------------------
You mean awful as 107 of those goals were for Didcot town in non league football.I mean in the football league esp for Wycombe he scored like 7 goals in two seasons for them and now scored 20 or something he'll be a flop so I hope wall sign him25 goals in league 1 no mean feat and a partnership with Keogh a proven scorer 15 goals each in the championship ....suits me sirCAFC Fan, I think he is a good player , therefore I hope Millwall dont get him :)

A source I know at st Mary's is saying Leon Osman is 100 % certain to be joining saints next week(6)(19)The only sauce you have must be coming out of a pint pot=or a number of them!Meanwhile on another planet.Leon Oman to saints would be like messi to Villarreal {Ed025's Note - leon is struggling to get in the everton side at the moment...but if he were to sign for saints...he would be the best player ever to pull on a red and white striped shirt!Leon Osman has never even heard of Southampton!Torres?Bit farfetched edI heard that as well its 100% done deal what a signing I can't wait to see him in the famous red and white stripes COYRI've also heard this , everton need the money and are willing to sell . Saints won't pay no more than 4m tho . He will be a good squad player !Yeah, Leon Osman is a far better player than Matt Le Tissier. No doubt about it.Shockingly bad rumour!! Osman is easily 31, not worth investing in, plus he has been one of everton's best players this season, and is a blue through and through, he has a low wage which is no trouble for moyes, possibly the last name that should be linked away from goodison! Try again!This is ridiculous

Portsmouth to offer Owen Hargreaves a football lifeline offering him a pay as you play deal. Hargreaves is likely to take them up on the offer as he is unlikely to have any other offers due to his constant injurie problems.(8)(22)No money so no players.Very funnyPay as you play-that would be novel for Pompey.
No pay, so no play!More likely to be a no pay as you play same as rest of squadEven at Pay as you play rates, the wage would be too high. Also, the manager is looking to build a young side based on the Academy players and fortunately, Pompey have half a dozen very good ones!Good ones, you mean the same ones that finished bottom of the Academy league this season. Pompey if you do manage to field a team next season there is a good chance you will get relagated again, you are deluded you lot.HARGREAVES has got an injury problem not a mental problem ! 'Pompey my aspidistra'The players in question were largely training with the first team and did not play many games for the Academy side you numpty!

Modric and Bale to Man U in the summer Carrick and Berbatov will go the other way as part of the deal. reliable source(25)(28)Plus £30 millionCarrick won't leave Man U and Bale won't leave Tottenham. Unlikely Berbatov would return to Tottenham but who knows.Where do people get these ridiculous ideas from.First of all i dont no if there is any truth in this rumour but to say Bale wont leave Spurs i think is wishful thinking mate. I would be very surprised if he didn't after they failed to get in the Champions league. He is a top player mate and a bit like Giggs he wont get many chances proforming at a national level ie.. world cups, euro. So he will want to play in Champions league regularly. Like i said dont no if him to united is true but what a replacement for giggs he will be.Another deluded mancSwaps don't happen.

My sources at Pride Park have confirmed that interest has been shown in all 5 players transfer listed by Nigel Clough.

Steve Davies: Bolton, Cardiff, Ipswich £750,000. Derby want £1m plus Davies wants to head north excluding Ipswich.

Chris Maguire: Motherwell, Dundee United, £500,000

James Bailey: Doncaster, Blackpool, Burnley, £500,000
Doncaster are the only team so far to actually make a bid. Both Blackpool and Burnley are weighing up their choices. Obviously Bailey would like to stay in the championship.

Lee Croft: MK Dons, St Johnstone £0

Miles Addison: Bournemouth, Barnsley, Notts County £150,000(9)(10)We (Dundee United) haven't paid a transfer fee for many years. We certainly wouldn't fork out half a million pounds for Chris Maguire. I'd say any other SPL team bar Celtic would be in the same position.Suggest you gen up on your geography ... Ipswich is further north than Cardiff .. so that leaves only Bolton for Steve Davies then ...Ive heard cash + maguire for johnny russell.So Davies is going to Bolton then as Cardiff ain't exactly north of Derby.Dundee utd have not got that money to spend would be surprised if motherwell have that cash to spend possibly maguire and cash for russelMiles Addison to Ipswich - Jewell has history with this lad and rates him!Have u seen addison play 150k give overI heard that Burnley have had a 450k bid accepted.Bailey is more likely to be closer to a million in all fairness. Derby paid Crewe half a million, and he has since proved himself as a half decent championship midfielder, with outstanding passing ability. Addison and Croft are likely to leave on a free, and Davies does not necessarily want to move north. He wants to leave for 'family reasons' - could be anything really, possibly just a willingness to get away from the area due to marital split, who knows?Got to say ppl who think rovers will be paying £500,000 for players what are you smoking back to the free transfers i think! And thats from a rovers fan

 


22 May 2012 17:07:54

Norwich possibles:

Pacheco - Liverpool
Zaha - Palace
Davies - Birmingham
Ki - Celtic
Andy King - Leicester
Ince - Blackpool
Snodgrass - Leeds
Naughton - Spurs
Redmond - Birmingham
K Bennett - Doncaster
Bridcutt - Brighton
G Hooper - Celtic

and others rumoured we deffo won't get them all but a few are very close and should sign.(16)(31)Tee hee Naaaaaarwich really do have an unusually high opinion of themselvesInce has already said hes staying at blackpoolWhat are they going to buy them with? Lambert has already said he has no money to spend..unless holt is on his way to Sunderland as rumoured.Had a good season - now planning to scrap the lot and sign a complete new squad. Seems a tad unlikely.I could almost suggest its just someone putting a list together of everyone else's best playersWhen did ANYONE within the club say there will be no money to spend??Lambert said it in April. The club were £40 million in debt and on the verge of administration last year and promotion to the premiership saved them. If Norwich buy one of those players I'll be surprised,unless holt is sold.So which of these in your opinion are very close to signing then?Kyle Bennett wont get a game and he said hes stayingActually when we went up to premier were approx. 20 mill in Debt and have since reduced it further so where 40 mil has come from I don't know, I'd guess lambert has about as much as lady year to spend on new players.You do know that norwich story on being on the brink of administration was made up be news of the world.Hooper just started contract talksYou have got some of the elements of the story correct. The full story goes like this.

After relegation to league 1 Norwich were close to Admin. We brought in McNally, Bowkett and subsequently Lambert. Lambert sorted out the team, walked the league and got promoted. McNally and Bowkett set about improving our fortunes off the pitch, restructed the debt (around 24mil) and set out a repayment plan to pay it off in approx 5-7 years depending on success on the pitch.

We then spent the most in the Championship after QPR, won auto promotion to the premier league and with it a 90 million minimum cash bonus (1 season in the prem and parachute payments should we be relegated after a single season.)

We then spent circa 16-18 mil (Summer and Jan combined) if you dont believe have a look at the players signed and for how much, add it up. A couple are estimates due to undisclosed fees (Howson, Pilkington, Bennett) but it works out to the previous figure. Off the pitch we have now reduced our external debt (banks and other creditors not directly working within the club) to £10 million. We secured another season in the premier league, and with it another 40+ million in TV revenue, higher ticket prices and sponsorship.

We now arrive at present day, Lambert and McNally have both said they have a similar pot to play with as last season 16-18 mil (maybe 20 as they said similar not exactly the same.) While not as much as the big boys £20 million spent wisely on young, developing players could take us again to the next level under Lamberts astute leadership. We are also scheduled to pay off the final £10 million of external debt by the end of the season.

Next summer - plans are afoot, should we secure our premier league status again, to expand the stadium via redevelopment of the Geoffrey Watling City Stand to approx 35k. But as i said, only if we survive relegation again. With no debt we will be able to borrow again to do the redevelopment, with a proven track record over the previous seasons of being able to pay off debt quickly. If we get relegated then the development will be put on hold, but with no external debt and high parachute payments we will be in place to swiftly return to the premier league.

We really are in a happy place right now, regardless of the outcome of Holt and Lamberts situations. If you dont believe any of this post then please do some research, it is all out there, free of charge in plain sight.Norwich successfully sued News of the world for the article over administration. Norwich have money to spend. how did we bring in Vaughan, Morison, R Bennett, E Bennet, Howson and Johnson? some people really are quite thick.Add to that Pilkington and De LaetWe spent 15m last summerThe financial post above is spot on. We really are on the up at the moment.

Its the best post i've seen on this site for a long time!Some people talk rubbish: Norwich have no money to spend? Norwich are a small club?
Norwich may not be a huge club but is recognised in football, Norwich do have money to spend and Lambert never said he has no money to spend. He reffered to the fact that we do not have as much as the big clubs, but I think £18m for a first premier league season isnt a bad amount to spend nor for the second season; a few decent players for that amount of a budget. Just look at the players Norwich have brought in: Howson; only played a few games and bosses the midfield; Pilkington and Bennett, quality players for only a couple of million. As Norwich have proven; its not how much you have, its how you use it.Hope we keep Bennett
Alex oatesYour not getting Holden he said he was staying even before the stoke game, and would anyone seriously buy CYL or Holden after they have been injured for a combined total of 30 months?

Luke Young plymouth to Reading 4Million

Denis Suarez Man City to Plymouth Loan(7)(18)4 million for a plymouth player, why make this utter rubbish up.Why would reading spend 4 million on a player from plymouth?!Why would Reading sign anyone from Plymouth fullstop? Garbage side lucky not to be relegated out of the football leagueGarbage club? Lucky not to be relegated? We've been in play-off form since February, get your facts right before posting that crapYes probably crap, but luke young is one of the best young players in league 2. He has just signed a new deal as wellLuke young too good for poxy reading. If he leaves it will be to a decent club, dont know about 4mill though.Maybe £40k if your luckyWhy would Luke Young sign for a 2 bit club like Reading. Who will go down next season when he is good enough to play for a better team.Royals fan, dads a pilgrim, both good clubs no point saying well go down next season or plymouth are carp, both decent sides :) secondly, luke young promising prospect but more time needed, could prob just about make jump to championship this season but not prem ready, though definitely will be a prem player in one form or another in 3 years or so!3 leagues above you?You are in the premiership Reading because of a sugar daddy. Reading were in the lower leagues not too long ago.

Brendan Moloney set to go on a season long loan to Notts County. This due to him falling behind Kieron Freeman after his impressive loan at the same club. The move will also be with a view to permanant signing.(6)(5)I can also confirm this to be the case. Although it may not be a loan and just a signing for Notts County. Forest's financial worries forcing their hand.Saw him play at County a couple of years ago. He`s a class act but we have already got Julian Kelly.

Jarvis has turned down stoke because harry R wants him to replace bale at spurs.(6)(31)Nice on mateLololol good jokeSpurs are accually after him its reported in the express and starPeople complain about this site being full of lies and stupid comments yet when an actual fact and legit rumour is posted they laugh and click disagree. People need to stop being pathetic on here. Spurs are in fact looking at Jarvis IF bale leaves.I agree with the last posting, why would Jarvis move to a club before he knows he has a regular first team spot, he's not going to move to Harry and be G.Bales reserve/understudy. He'd be better being the main man, he's too good to be anyones bitch!Harry always pulls this trick, tells every player under the sun that he wants them at Spurs just to keep his options open, after all it'd take a brave (or foolish) player to sign for the likes of Stoke while the carrot of Spurs is dangling. It's exactley how Stoke got Begovic though, supposedly wanted by Spurs and annoyed when he found someone else going for a medical. It'd be good to get Jarvis at Stoke for a full pre-season but if he have to wait until deadline day for a cheaper fee so be it.Bale is a thoroughbred Jarvis is a donkey,
no comparison.Can't be a donkey if so many teams are after him.Jarvis hasn't turned down Stoke at all. He's actually having talks early next week so nice try

Swansea ins:
Sigurdsson 7.5
Guidetti loan
Vela 4.0
Emnes 3.5
Toornstra 0.5
Kum free
Mariappa 2.0
Cornell back from loan

outs:
Lita 750k
Moore 500k
Dobbie 750k
Routledge 750k
Bodde not renewed
Gower free
Bessone free
Monk 250k
Tate 250k
Moreira free(7)(20)Not disputing that you will sign gylfi but the price is totally wrong. we sold him for about 7.5m 2 years ago and your saying he hasn't increased in value after half a season tearing up the prem?About right but id keep routledge as a number 2 just in caseSwansea paid more than that for routledge so y would they let him go for 750k?I would take routledge for 750k at everton any day of the week I think he's class even though everyone knows dyer is betterRoutledge won't go, he's set up most of our goals this season...Never sell Monk or Tate, 2 of our class heros, keep them for another season!I dont think we need 3 more strikers mate, just emnes and guidetti but the outs seem about right, we could get 1 million for dobbie and routledge bu this is close enoughRoutledge is too good a player to sit on the bench would love yo keep him as back up... but unless we lose sinclair or dyer not going to get much game timeYou won't get Mariappa for £2m. Better than that and has a lot of interest.You need 2 quality players for each of the 3 striking positions: Graham/Guidetti, Vela/Dyer, Emnes/Sinclair... maybe sell Dyer instead of Routledge if you can get more money for him - Dyer works hard and can look good one-on-one but too often his finishing and decision making in the final third are poor... Monk & Tate are not premier league footballers, no room for sentiment... and I believe Mariappa is in the last year of his contract, so 2m sounds perfectly reasonable.Routledge may not score the goals but we need some depth to the squad. Plus he sets up so many chances we can't let him go.

Emnes - Why the fuss? Is he really THAT good that we chase again this season?

Tate and Monk - Nowhere near prem quality so get what we can.

Leicester have had a bid of 4m accepted for Robert snodgrass!(15)(30)If snody leaves its for a prem club.And the price for best drivel of the day goes to.........this post.
Snodgrass would never sign for small time LeicesterIts true bid bin accepted hes being offered 25k a weekWakey wakey Leicester would hold NO appeal to Snodgrass - he is looking to the Premiership for is next move.Some Leicester fans embarrass our club with posting drivel.he would not join us in same league as leeds,heard warnock on radio and apart from the £8mill price tag he said they will deffinately keep him till January.

 


22 May 2012 14:44:19
Norwich to sign Dani Pacheco after Durys testimonial and also approach Lennon after the game about the possible signing of Gary Hooper and possible Emilio Izzaguire(14)(16)If you want those 2 look to pay about 18mill, izzy is a legend in the making and prob would go for 20-30 mill in epl in a few years but he loves Celtic. would think you have a better chance of getting hooper then izzy.18 million?
Dream on. Sure, Hooper and Izaguirre would be expensive, but not THAT expensive.Where do these
people come up with their numbers, both players are valued at £4M each on transfer market website so where the hell does someone come up with 18M and before anyone spouts on about Celtic turning down £6M for Hooper from Southampton, its what you read in the papers and they always inflate the numbers so its looks bigger and better, suspect both players would be sold for sums somewhere close to their current market values.Current market value? whats that the epl one where they spend 35mill on a sticker who cant score? where as Hooper goes for 2 mill and scores 50 goals in 2 season, and only 1 player rvp scores more then hooper this year...29 goals =4mill no way. what is your problem is that you think spl is a shiat league so it has shiat players. Well like it or not Celtic wont be taken small money no more, Hooper is worth 7mill no doubt and izzy(as man u has been sniffing,maybe paper talks) should be 10 mill.

do you agree andy carrol is worth 35mill? or even 15mill as he is listed in trasnfermarket? for scorng 4 gaols, or do you pay because of his hight? the guy is good in the air but whats more important that or goals.

get off your high horse that we are the best league in the world so no player outside of it is good for it. wait till the euros come around when you have carroll in not scoring and you have Hoopers 29 goals out of the team. hope some one gets injuried so he could have a chance to show you all up. {Ed025's Note - fair point mate...we got jelavic for buttons, there are a lot of good players in the SPL..Im sorry but I think I could score 50 goals in the Scottish League....

Joel ward is signing for Leeds Tom, I have just spoken with Warnocks best friend up north,the deal stalled last week over the fee or rather kennys refusal to spend 450k,paddy kenny a Definate as Paul Robinson moving back to London after Blackburn relegation,clayton has agreed to join burnley subject to terms,from the horses mouth!(11)(14)Hope you are right about clayton coming to burnley !I really hope your right about clayton! UTCJoel Ward is signing for Ipswich Town! FACTClayton to Burnley is a backward step, cannot see it happening.I think agreeing the £3mill transfer fee for clayton would have to be agreed and burnley can not afford that.no he will be sold to Leicester.Wish we would get £3M NW already stated he will accept £400-£450k for him as that is what he has to got spend to replace him in NW owns words I can get a better player than Clayton for £450k which is what I expect to receive when he is sold

But I will take the £3M!Neil Warnock ha already said Clayton will e leaving for a fee of around half a million

 


22 May 2012 14:06:03
In terms of stuff to do with Reading, this is what I know/Have been told:
FOR CERTAIN:
- Interest and fee agreed for Mariappa. Only way this won't happen is if the contract negotiations go sour or he fails a medical.
- Enquiry and talks with Carlos Sanchez. No medical as of yet, player is interested in joining.
- Mullins and Conolly will not be joining.
- There was never any interest in Bjorn Sigurdarsson. No bid was submitted.
- Ian Harte has nearly finalised a new contract.
- Enquired to Liverpool about Joe Cole, paying 50% of his wages. No decision will be made until a new manager is appointed.

POSSIBLE:
- Defoe. This will depend on other signings and so how much money is left, his performances in the Euros, and interest from other clubs.
- Rhodes. Unsure on this but we've been scouting him.
- Hoilett. Unlikely but again depends on interest from other clubs. As we have signed McCleary this seems less likely.
- N'Doye. Still interested in him, on the shortlist of strikers.

UNLIKELY/DEFINITE NO'S:
- Sigurdsson, Doyle, Fletcher, Jarvis, Whittingham, Maxi Rodriguez, Butterfield.

No updates for you guys on the TSI deal yet, sorry.(14)(15)Matthew connolly will sign
MrRfcShame about Connelly if that's true. We can forget about Defoe and Cole. Wages would be off the scale for Reading(even 50% in the case of Cole)Must of got the doyle 1 from ssnAgree with all!I don't think there will be any chance of reading receiving Defoe
Since there has been intrest from liverpool in 3 players Bent, Defoe and Hoillet
Defoe is a possibility bent maybe and hoilet almost defenitly will not be going to liverpool since so many others want him such as Man U Spurs and others

Gus Poyet to become new West Brom
manager with Jim Magilton replacing

Albion manager, Jim shares the same
footballing philosophy as Gus.(8)(16)No way Gus will go to West Brom and even if he did why would Brighton want Jim Magilton?What, have someone sent off each game or try and kick the opponents into submission?I don't think soNah not a chanceIf magilton gets the job be prepared for a relegation battle.Gus Poyet has stated many times he would like to manage in the Prem with a can't be discribed itopp club or Brighton (that rules WBA because they can't be discribed as a top club even by a Baggie)From a brighton supporter, if gus got offered the west brom job he would seriously consider taking it. it isnt a step sideways and puts him in the prem where he wants to bePoyet having talks with Aston Villa's Randy Lerner on Friday.To whoever made this childish 'so called' rumour - go and continue your giggles with your childish friends and READ THE NEWS (if you can) before trying to be clever. Gus has already said he is not interested.He isn't having talks with lerner, why post such bullsht??!If anyone has been tempted to place a bet on Poyet being anywhere other than Brighton next season, you've lost your money.

Millwall have also made an enquiry for MK Dons skipper and left back Dean Lewington.(5)(3)Take him, would prefer to have mcqouid backDean Lewington would be a very good signing for WALL! IMO COYLYou can have malone but please keep mcquoidMalone in January signed a 3 and a half year deal and has shown no intentions of leaving AFCB and is just a pointless rumour, plus Mcquoid wouldnt go down a league anyway as he is a championship playerThis deals looking more likely with Mcquoid going back to bournemouth.

Man City ready to offer A. Johnson and Adebayor swap for Gareth Bale.

Carlos Tevez will be joinig AC Milan in exchange for Brazilian Centre back Thiago Silva, forget about Ibrahimovic.

Eden Hazard will join for 32m from Lille and Edinson Cavani will join after the Olympics from Napoli for around 30m.

Hart
Richards
Kompany
T. Silva
Bale
Yaya
Hazard
Nasri
Silva
Cavani
Aguero(16)(21)You keep telling yourself this mate ......
Edinson Cavani would cost closer to 50million and thiago silva would cost alot more than tevez's valueHahah, and how do you know all this exactly? ;)Your dreaming, Bale isnt a left back and Milan have already come out and said Silva is a no go to leaving!I'm sure AC Milan need Tevez as well as Ibrahimovic, Pato and RobinhoAbsolutely not happening. Bale is 100 percent not leaving Spurs during this window, but probably will next year. As for that City "lineup" for next season. Its so unbalanced. Just one CDM in Toure, and even he attacks more than he defends. Quit playing Football Manager and carry on flipping burges or whatever you do to pass the time in your hovel.^Bale can easily play left back.

But yeh, I can tell why the author of this post isn't the manager of a club, or has anything to do with football. It would get torn apart defensively.

If City sign Hazard and/or Cavani I am sorry but they will have to sell some of their attacking players, they are too top heavy.In relation to the swap deal, surely you meant to type "Man City ready to offer A.Johnson, Adebayor AND £15 MILLION CASH"...no? Because Bale is at least worth £30 - £40 million, and with Johnson being valued at around £8m and Adebayor somewhere between £10 - £12m that only comes to around £20m...Financial fair play my apse if this is correct

 


22 May 2012 13:56:47
Spurs news

Adebayor it seems will have his wages subsidised by Man City as they realise that no clubs will take some of their players on the current salaries. Has turned into a nonsense but of Man City's own doing. Same happened with Robinho and no-one will touch Bridge. They're also having trouble with Adam Johnson as interested clubs just can't afford his wages.

Jan Vetonghen and Robert Huth could be a new pairing next season as both players are keen to come.

Jermaine Defoe will join Stoke City and may be joined by Jermaine Jenas

Demba Ba looks a very likely arrival after Harry missed out on Remy in January(15)(15)Why would Demba Ba move to a smaller club?Would love defoe and jenas at Stoke, but can't see this happening. Also I'd hate to see Huth leave, I'd rather keep Huth and miss out on Defoe and Jenas. (Just personal opinion)

genuine rumour - ramsey to swansea, looking to replace potential sigurdsson loss
and we're not even going to talk about it?! come on Ed! {Ed001's Note - come on ed? What the hell are you on about? What the hell has it to do with us?}(6)(13)Absolutely NO chance!!Ramsey played for Cardiff. NO chance of him going to Swansea.Lmao someone needs to stop taking them magic pills, the ramsey that was born in cardiff, played for cardiff, all his family lives in cardiff????? what a joke!!!!!!Ramseys st haha, besides we have almost signed siggy soTbh I think that Ramsey would be a great signing for any club, but can't see him leaving a team which has champions league football next season although I think if the price was right he would come, because it is a lot less distance from home and he could play with other Welsh players, although then again we are going to have sigurdsson next season anyway so it don't matter

portsmouth to sign klovis kamdjo, liam o'brien and danny webber, after exits: jason pearce,ricardo rocha,jamie ashdown,benjani and stephen henderson(8)(8)Who will sign whilst they do not know if their wages will be paid??

They can't claim benefits, you know?

Until the club is secure it is unlikely anyone will sign-and the Chanrai offer could be unacceptable to the FA, so don't pin too much on that.Love it how every one jumps on the pompey postsThese signings are quite possible but nothing is likely to happen for another month or so, with the excepion of a few more sales of course!If Chanrai's bid is rejected by the league then The Trust bid would win through so more than happy if Chanrai is deemed unfit.............for once the league guys will have got it right! Who am I kidding, they will screw up again and let another one asset strip Pompey!

This has just been announced on Radio

Looks like Joel Ward has made his mind up. Hillsborough his surprise destination, and he is at Middlewood Road today undergoing a medical.

Leeds had apparently done the deal to sign Ward, but were unable to come up with the £380k transfer fee, asking instead payment to be deferred until the start of next season - sounds like they have cash flow issues.

Pompey administrators insisted on an up front payment, and Ward will now join the Owls.(8)(14)Wednesday fan here i can tell you ward not coming as we are not willing to pay what pompey want so we have pulled the plug on the dealAnnounced on what radio station, radio ga ga !!.Wednesday have pulled out anyway

 


22 May 2012 12:43:36
Walsall forward, Manny Ledesma, is set to sign a 2 year deal. This is on Mackens wages and Jarvis' wages together, meaning he is on roughly £2,000 a week, without add ons (goal scoring bonus etc)

He has however, got a relegation release clause in his contract, meaning if Walsall are to go down he will automatically be released.(3)(1)

Ive heard from a source, very close to Mark Hughes that Qpr are after and very close to signing Micah Richards, Adam Johnson, Shay Given, Dembele, Defoe and Hoilett .All will be announced by tuesday.(1)(38)Of course they will. I doubt any of that list would go there.I don't believe that for one secondMicah richards?! the guy who just won a title at city? dream on wannabe. QPHAAnd why not ? half of them not regular startersIts tuesday - no announcementDefoe is an outside possibility as he is desperate for a move - but even though he hasn't had many games, I think he could do better than QPR.

As to the rest - only if hell freezes over and hughes gets to be trustworthy.That's what smoking crack does to youThis is clearly a list of players u want to see sign. Can't be anything to do with reality as none if them would sign for relegation fodder in a million years!As a QPR fan I can tell you what this person is saying is a pile of horse sh..Cant see us getting any of these....Micah Richards, Adam Johnson, Shay Given, Dembele, Defoe and Hoilett, but you never know, Joey Barton was at Newcastle when he signed for us, and thats a bigger club than, Blackburn Fulham and Johnson wants a move as does Defoe, so as much as i doubt any of these guys signing for us, stranger things have happened.Hoilett could move, and so could Shay Given. Adam Johnson could go out on loan and so could defoe.Richards isn't even a possibility. Johnson could happen but only on a loan deal. Shay Given could happen as he and Mark Hughes have a good past and Villa look unstable. Dembele never. Defoe perhaps, probably the only realistic target and Hoilett will be attracting bigger and better clubs. Johnson on loan, Given and Defoe maybe.Adam Johnson will only move on loan, and most likely to a lower league team. Mancini will not sell him to any rivals, because he knows he is talent

Neil Warnock seems to have had an initial approach for Jon Stead rebuffed. Stead is said to be interested in joining Warnocks new regime at Leeds and favours a switch back to his home county of Yorkshire. Reports indicate Leeds will have to meet a seven figure valuation set by Bristol City.(14)(13)Stead has said he is more than happy down bristol,and if we r going to offer a 7 figure sum then they will accept it without doubt and be laughing all the way to the bankHes worth nowhere near 7 figures. 500k more reasonable but hes crap anyway.Stead says no way is he leaving as he feels settled in bristol and leeds would be a backward stepIm a city fan and stead loves bristol so he wouldn't wanna leave but leeds wouldn't be a backwards stepLeeds would be a backward step from Bristol City? remember that probably the worst Leeds team in recent history claimed a 3-0 win at Ashton Gate this season....He didn't say it would be a backward step, he said it WOULDNT be. And congratulations u beat a struggling team who had 9 men

 


22 May 2012 11:19:41
Words spoken by Robert Snodgrass yesterday on LUTV seem to indicate his patience is running out which will alert the likes of Cardiff and Norwich.

More to this than meets the eye!!Cardiff got no chance!

Leicester want around 1.5m for their previous prized asset as he is currently out of the form which drew interest at 3m.(6)(7)Rubbish, even if he had a poor season, he has been one of our top players in the previous 3 why would we let him go at such a low priceHe is the most overrated player in the championship. If we can get rid and get some money for him as well, it would be great business.

looks like it's a two horse race between palace and ipswich to sign joel ward, after ward rejected leeds and admitted that blackpool and sheffield wednesday were too far away.(8)(18)Leeds deal still favourite according to press this morningH. What planet are you on?! He's agreed to join Leeds in principle, where he's always WANTED to move, and that will be confirmed tomorrow. The only competition was Wednesday, a proper club on the same scale, and I hear they just pulled out of a deal. Should be tied up by Warnock tomorrow, along with Halford.
wallyWard has signed for Blackpool after meeting his new team mates at Wembley on Saturday.How can he go to leeds when warnock is on holiday and leeds cant even afford him?! i will laugh at you when he dont sign for leeds it might not be ipswich but it definetly aint leedsOh very sorry...we aren't a proper club evidently, even though we've won numerous trophies during the years. Your arrogance is astounding. It's clubs and supporters like you and yours that get right on my wick. I quite like Sheffield weds but can't bear you lot.He's going to Leeds or BrightonLeeds can definitely afford to pay for himwhat planet you on?NW on holiday AFTER 25th so he is still here

NW has stated so many times when is going on hols!

Unless you av booked him in somewhere!Joel Ward will be playing at Blackpool next seasonHey ipswich fans! Im a leeds fan and ican tell you guys now theres serious problems at elland rd with our chairman not giving nw money. Leeds were supposed to have wrapped wards deal up last week but nw didnt get the money he was promised. So just thought ide let you know your the favourites to snap him up now. Also you can offer more wages. JakeHey leeds fans just to let u know ipswich have no money at all bosmans for us

24-year-old Kamara is currently with Dulwich Hamlet, having only arrived in English football with Margate in 2010.

After an excellent campaign with Dulwich, a host of league clubs are now ready to offer him a route into professional football.

Sky Sports understands that Stevenage, Crawley, Northampton and Bournemouth are all keen on landing him.

And Kamara's team-mate Omarr Lawson also looks on course for the Football League.

He spent time on trial at Portsmouth and, more recently, Watford - who remain keen on him.

However, Charlton, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and also Stevenage are also keen on the teenage forward.(5)(2)You forgot to copy and paste the first line of the story.This sounds like an agent sending out the feelers. Nice try. The Crawley one is nonsense btw.Hope notOld news where have u beenBrentford should go for richard barrilohet from fulhamOr daruis vassel who was realesed by lesiter city

A few Championship clubs including Watford are interested. He's a hot prospect. All the fuss made re Marshall leaving- this guy is 10 x the player.Really hope Flo gets his chance in the prem this season, seen him on the training ground and he looks awesome, BUT Pulis hates youth so won't be holding my breath.

Stoke City;

Ins-
Jarvis, Deal done with club just
waiting for the player
Owen, free transfer pay as you play
Defoe, Tottenham are playing hardball
and are asking for huth but stoke
are determined to keep him and he
wants to stay expect him to sign a new contract.
Pulis is also looking at a number of
CM and has been scouting abroad
but if he can fiind a prem CM that
would be preferred.

Outs-
Ricardo Fuller, will look at offers
Mama Sidibe, Released
Diao, Released
Kenwyne Jones, thats if someone will
take him
Tonge, championship
Soares, Championship
Davis, whoever wants

Some youth players will go on loan;
Culliver, championship
lund and moult league 1 or
championship(11)(12)Huth looks likely to leave- a Dutch centre half is on Stoke's wanted list.

Defoe was hours away from joining on loan in Jan.

Jarvis will join in June

Owen depends on how talks go next week.

Plenty of interest in Jones but Stoke want the right price. There is a clause in his contract which he hasn't reached which will trigger another payment to Sunderland so Stoke will cash in.

Stoke want Gardner from SunderlandStoke wont be listening to offers for him as they are releasing him, mama will not go yet, TP is standing by him following his injurys and has pledged commitment to do so.

Doubt huth will go, dispite being hot property, him and Shawcross have formed a formidable parnership.Explain why Huth in nearly 12 months hasn't signed a new contract despite having one on the table since August? Pulis has promised that Sidibe will get a good pay off.........ie looked afterSidibe is crocked and will never play again, TP and Coates have vowed to stand by him so will probably offer him a coaching role, ambassador position or such like.Sidibe been give another one year contract

Grant Holt has been persuaded to stay at Norwich and has siged a 3 year deal making him the highest paid player at the club - The deciding factor was that Paul Lambert has given his assurances that he will be staying for at least the next season and that he has a decent transfer kitty to add to the squad.(13)(19)And you got this information from where exactly...C'mon! Why do people keep making things up? Stupid stupid stupid...... I'd love Lambo and Holty to stay, but where the .... does this come from??

 


22 May 2012 09:36:02
reading are after
defoe
or
yakubu
or even both if the tsi deal go through(8)(18)Defoe's wages puts him out of reach. I fancy Yakabu but QPR are also after him and will just throw money at him and blow Reading out of it

 


22 May 2012 09:22:41
Dagenham & Redbridge have released Arber, Nurse, Walsh, Gain & McCrory.(5)(0)Ogogo has agreed a new deal as well which shows how much some people on here know.

Hulk
James Milner
Subotic
Anew(4)(19)Do you mean ayewWhy hulk, every time I see this guy play I keep wondering if he's the same player the press rave about. Vastly overrated and massively over priced.

He is also probably one of the biggest cheats i have seen for a long time.If hes a cheat then hes the perfect replacement for drog.heard hes off to finish his career in hollywood

 


22 May 2012 08:49:50
eric huseklepp ius closes to sealing the deal with championship club watford. After Birmingham rejecting to sign him permantly, his departure from portsmouth was immenent. Portsmouth and watford have agreed a fee of 300,000 after fighting of competition from ipswich and leeds.(10)(6)Decent player, very fair price, I suppose with our good league finish we can definitely compete with teams like Ipswich and Leeds. He would probably start in most games so sounds good.Where did you here this?So wish this was true cant see it happening, source?Im not sure we will sell him for 300,000 we bought him for 1.5mil. I know we cant be picky but it will have to be higherI thinCk he is a striker. Could possibly replace iwelumo as watford are trying to get rid of him after a poor season.Huseklepp? What planet are you on?! He's quality and if that's the fee that he's worth then Leeds or Ipswich will definately snap him up. Watford are a mess, you shouldn't have to release four youth players before their contracts are up. That's some serious issue there^ The players we released were not any good, and almost every team has financial constraints. How you can say we're a mess compared to Leeds is beyond me, and Ipswich aren't particularly any more attractive.

What I will say is that £300k seems too cheap.When exactly did we release 4 youth team players before their contracts were up? Check your facts before you post.Before you say Watford are a mess you need to have a long hard look at your own team. That's where the real mess is and also get your facts right next timeI've seen this name in relation to watford around a few rumours websties , it was in paper gossip section, i will try and find source to back this up. Being a watford fan i hope this is true as iv'e watched huseklepp seem quite pacey which is what watford look lie they could do withLeeds aren't in a financial mess at all. Yes Bates is tight but we are operating at a profit at the moment and our small debts are now managable. The only problem Leeds will have when trying to finish off deals is the wages that Bates is willing to pay as he still believes we can sign players and pay them league 1 wages of around £5000 pw when infact we should be paying over £10000We didn't even release 4 youth players! we released our backup goalkeeper who wasn't tht great nd we hav a better backup in our acadamy, one defender who we signed from non league last seaon but wasn't good enough, a youth player who at 20 had failed to make an appearance, and a winger who started well but now even bradford wouldn't play him. we havn't even released them. we just told them they wouldn't be renewed. just because sky sports had a ridiculous story about us not being able to afford them doesn't mean its true. all teams release youth players. are you saying arsenal are a mess because released 6 youht players yesterday?!Will certainly take more than £300k to buy him, even with Pompey's difficulties, would think £500k min..........and a great deal at that price too!^ I dunno about Leeds but £5k p/w is not league 1 wages. Except for the most experienced who are closer to £10k p/w that's our budget. But yes for youngish up and coming players like Clayton you need to offer a bit or there's no loyalty.300000 your having a laughHe was bought for over 1.5m hes not going for 300000We bought Ellington for 4m but we didn't get any money back for him, in the state Portsmouth are in, you would be best off selling him for anything you can.

Bradford are interested in signing Izale Mcleod after he was released from Barnet. Other Clubs intrested are Swindon, Peterborough, Gillingham, Huddersfield and Doncaster(8)(11)He won't go to Bradford, Huddersfield or Doncaster as he is settled in his home and is is not willing to travel long distances.
Gillingham and Swindon are possible destinations as is Northampton
SOURCE - I spoke to his wife in their coffee shop in MKEven though Peterborough choose not to sign him a year ago, because he couldn't cut it in the ChampionshipWell I've heard that PP is very interested because he was at charlton when Mcleod was thereThink he might sign for swindon di canio did speak about him a few times.. be the physical presence he wants as well

 


22 May 2012 08:34:26
Southend to sign Kuffour after being released from Gillingham(6)(6)Southend are skint. They cannot afford Kuffour, dream another one up.I wishKuffour's not good enough for Southend there are plenty of better players out there that are cheaper.Southend aren't skint anymore get your facts right!How are we skint? that was 2 years agoUr still skint look at ur ground its awfullToo many southend hatersHe is good enough for usBrady, Sturrock and Martin put all their eggs in one basket this season on promotion. They failed. You are skint. Liquidated by Xmas, Simples! Kuffour would never join you, far too good.Okay then if we are not liquidated by Xmas you can come on this site and on the supporters website and say how stupid and deluded you are. Deal?We are not skint you obviously know nothingOur ground is awful? who do you support? no doubt a team with a characterless stadium like colchesterWait until you find out how many players and staff have not been paid for April and May and then tell me you're not skint. Failing to get promotion = administration.Every member of staff including players were fully paid in April and May and have been since we were relegated from league one so go away get your facts right and come back when you have something truthful to say. Small minded deluded person!

Fulham are in advance talks with Jordan Rhode's people over a move which will be for £6mil dependant on appearances. Also they want Matt Jarvis but Wolves want around £8 mil which fulham are willing to pay but only if deals for Hernandez n Assaidi don't happen. Also Danny Simpson is a major target at RB. Narsingh has annoyed fulham with his divering so is likely to join Ajax but Nacir Chadli is very much still in the pic along with Defoe.(6)(16)Jarvis is valued at ten million by Wolves , up the ante kidda.I doubt anyone is in talks with Rhodes at the moment, seen as he has still got a match to play.Fulham's bid for Jordan Rhodes has infact already been accepted and he will be a Fulham player by the end of the week. £3.5m rising to £6m.

Peterborough to sign Stevenages Michael Bostwick for 250k + George Boyd.
Boydies in his last year of his contract and wants to move, but any transfer we have to give 35% to Stevenage so makes sense really!(2)(29)So Boydy is going to lower himself rather than better himself! lmaoI thought Boyds' sell on fee to Stevenage was bought out by MacanthonyY would Boyd go down a league when he to ood for PeterboroughNever gonna happen. Im a Posh fan and Boyd is better than League 1 and worth a lot more than Bostwick..A nothing post, will never happenI would love George boyd backBostwick is awful, no thanks {Ed025's Note - its good for glueing aifix models..

Leeds, Ipswich and Bristol City are targeting transfer listed striker Steve Davies after the 24 year old striker rejected a new 3 year deal. It is thought that Leeds have bidded 1 million(17)(13)MATE ARE YOU MAD!? Warnock will go for some random guys that we have never heard off as usual.
KONY 2014Who does he play for never heard of himLeeds don't have one million to spend, we havn't even got 400k for joel ward.Derby county, he was offered a new two year deal but turned it down for family deals. Not a bad player good in the air and shooting from long distance, but very injury prone. In the past three seasons he's had a fractured skull, fractured eye socket and hamstring injuries just to name a few!!

QPR to make use of uncertainty at Villa & Wigan by making bids for Given & Moses. It's is also believed that Danny Simpson, Del Piero, Rob Green, Junior Hoilett & Matt Jarvis are all on Rangers radar.(7)(30)Absolutely no chance. You are just naming all West Ham targetsWell del piero is retiredDel piero...wow you really are struggling. I heard Patrick kluivert is free too? Signed him while ya at it aswell...What clubs are not looking at them players lol stiff compation from bigger and better clubs..and personal who wants to play infront of 18k fans at a home game?No jarvis to southampton, simpson to stay at the geordies all others possibilities !West ham? They'll be lucky to get joe cole this summer. Del Piero would be brilliant, sells alot of jerseys.All the westham targets. dont make laugh. all teams in this position are after the same targets. from a mutual perspective i belive qpr have a better chance of getting their signatures over westham because of the team their building and the plans theyve made.What does playin infront of bigger crowds at home count for? all they care about is the money they will be being paid. plus why would bigger and better clubs go after players that are just average?QPR will just outbid WestHam for any targets they may have in common, simple as that. we have money, you dont.De piero goin arsenal or qprDe piero ain't retired. he'll be a free agentWhy would Moses go to QPR? sideways step

 


22 May 2012 03:48:54
Despite being on the verge of announcing a deal to control the Keepmoat Stadium (which is currently being run by Doncaster Council's Stadium Management Company), Doncaster Rovers financial situation is weaker than most think and without tight financial management the club could be facing the threat of administration in the new season.(12)(7)What a ridiculous rumour, the club's in a fine financial situation.A very ill informed and irresponsible comment. The club is certainly run on a tight budget, but this has always been a policy since the return to the Football League and it will continue to be run in this manner whilst John Ryan has any involvement in the club.

Rudi Skacel didn't want to move to league 2 maybe he'll move to League 1 with Crawley. He's out of contract had talks in Jan and he has said his mind was made up in Jan.

When he played for Saints he was unreal.Looks like he'll be moving to the League in USA if he doesn't get another contract from Hearts.He's moving to America

West Ham to bid £6.5m for Chung -Yong Lee to further add to the former Bolton players already at the hammers.

Big Sam sees him as a key signing and believes the lure of a bigger Club like West Ham can see a deal completed soon.(20)(18)Bigger club. LOLOn their way back to the brink of administrationLMAO. Who do west hame think they areWestham is by far a bigger club than bolton, bolton no history."West ham is by far a bigger club than bolton, bolton no history."

Every club has history, its irrelevant what west ham have done in the past, try living in the present.Well in the present west ham are in the PL league and bolton in the championship so looks like west ham are bigger
arsenal fan here btwWest ham is bigger club period. You sound delusional. It is not just about history.. The club itself has a lot bigger value than bolton and a lot more supporters as well.That's why west ham lost half there fan base when they went down and still dont like big Sam even though it's him that has promoted them single handedlyBolton sre bigger club fact. we may be in the championship now but west have have been the twice in as many years fact. plus we always take 6 points off you fact. COYWMSo last year we where the bigger club going off Arsenals logic? We beat westspam pretty much every time we play them.If chung was to leave bolton which he wont i cant see him leaving for a yoyo club like west ham

After having a bid of around £500,000 accepted over the weekend the signing of Dean Moxey from Crystal Palace to Sheffield Wednesday is likely to go through in the next 48 hours. It is believed that Moxey has almost doubled his wage in the move up north.

Palace are also extremely close to confirming the signing of Tunchev and Dumbuya, both on frees. Palace were hoping to win the race for Portsmouths Joel Ward but the increased interest has reportedly put the asking price from £300k to almost £500k and Palace see Dumbuya as a better alternative.(10)(11)The fee for Ward has not changed as it has been pre agreed with the Administrators. There are other cost issues related to the deal including payments due to Ward. Similar to the deal that saw Pearce move to Leeds, where Leeds paid deferred wages and agents fees on top of the feeMakes sense, shame about Ward who is probably the better playerThe Moxey to sheffield wednesday bit is rubbish, the rest is true apart from freedman saying dumbuya is no longer a target.Fact, MOXEY is STAYING
Ward will sign on Wednesday
Dumbuya is no longer a target as Dougir confirmed at the fans forum
Tuchev will sign on WednesdayMoxey leaving Palace - I really can not see it.
We should still try and get Dumbuya as he did well when on loan

Gary Hooper has no indicated that he is thinking about his future over the next week.
The feeling is with rangers in dire trouble, there is a lack of competition in the SPL. southampton are on high alert(15)(16)If he has any ambition he has to head to EPL. Saints would be good for him. Ambitious, on the up, he'd start a lot. If he wants to just win endless cups against league 1 standard opposition and play in the prelims of the CL then we don't want a player with such a lack of drive.This talk of Saints "being on high alert" is a little silly. Saints professionalism is second to none and they will have been in regular contact with Hoopers agent and Celtic since January.
I believe it will only be down to valuation now and whether Hooper feels Saints are right for him-can't see Saints trying for someone if their attitude is not 100%.Be strange considering he has insisted for so long that he is happy in the SPL and the prospect of CL football?

I'm a Saints fan, so not trying to stir anything, in my opinion we have stated our price, they have said no and stated their asking price. We can't agree. Hooper is happy in Celtic and not complaining. We should all just move on without arguments and club size (sorry not particularly pertinent to the initial post, but always worth emphasising I'm not supportive of continual stirring BS, so unless there is a source then let it die). {Ed007's Note -Prospect of CL Football!?

What...............both qualifying legs!? ;)So what Celtic have to play 2 qualifiers big deal, they have a good chance since they will not come up against any top clubs really. and when Celtic came up against the top club and winners atletico m and juventis they held thier own and really should have advanced in the hardest group in europa. think all your eyes will open when they are in the CL and making some noise. Yous dish out shiat to Celtic even though your club is small, you will be no where near what Celtic is even with the millions you get from the english leagues.^^
Celtic isnt a big team, man utd,chelsea, madrid, arsenal, barca,milan and soo on r big clubs. Celtic will never make noise in cl not with the teams above listed in there. Group stage if lucky!Look Celtic lot. Saints are not a small club. They are a medium size club who always punch above our weight, decent fanbase, good stadium, brilliant academy, billionaire owners. Small clubs are what you play every other week with one man and his dog in a shack.
Celtic are a big club in SPL nowhere else, insignificant on the euro stage, living off successes of about 30 or 40 years ago, only play in the CL because Scotland only has 2 clubs and one of them is bankrupt.
The tit for tat is pointless. It comes down to this. If Hooper has serious ambitions to represent England he has to move south. He won't improve as a player playing against dross like Kilmarnock and Aberdeen each week. Even at a lower end or mid table EPL club he is up against top players nearly each and every week. So it's down to his own ambitions. That simple really!Any player that goes to a team outside the top 6 in the epl must me the least ambitious players out these players will never win anything and their biggest achievement is to pick up three points now and then inbetween the occasional thrashing sky tv cash runs all the clubs not the supporters the esp is nothing more than a glorified playstation game {Ed025's Note - make that top 7..Sound a bit jealous of us being in the big league Celtic? You'd love a bit of it wouldn't you? You need it a whole lot more than it needs you though, plus join the EPL and say goodbye to CL football and any trophies. Oh the dilemma!! I suspect you'll settle for your tinpot cups and telling everyone what a massive club you are for another 50 yearszzzzzzzzYa we would like to join the epl just to get some respect and show you lot that we would be neat the top in the position of the europa or CL position...plus the money we would get would only make Celtic even stronger.
and what about your club? are they winning trophies or even coming close..no. not good player in spl? well it seems to me that everton is enjoying there strivker lightin it up and where did he come from? and why is it all epl try and get spl players? because they are not good?
and this whole ambition thing, would you go to an epl team just to sit on the bench and maybe get 2-5 games a season, or play reg on the team and play against better players in CL then in epl?hhhmmm, the ones that are not turned by money and say no to epl has more ambition then most, for how do you progress...by playing no matter who is your against, talent is talent.
and Celtic is a big club because it is well known and loved around the world and is amongst the top 30 clubs in the world.^^
1. The EPL fans are not disrespecting Celtic. They are just bored of hearing you talk about being a big club when this is based on nothing other than you winning the European cup 40 odd years ago.
2. You would not finish near the top of the EPL. Yes you would get more money to Invest but you are light years behind the Manchester clubs, Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea. There is barely a single player on your books who would make their squads. If you spent wisely and had a great season you would be in the mix with Toon, Liverpool, Everton, Sunderland. So fighting for 6th to 10th.
3. Nobody has talked about saints winning trophies or being a big club or bigger than Celtic. There is genuine talk of one of your players joining us. That is a fact. Don't be so touchy, makes you sound like your threatened by lil old saints
4. EPL are not always taking the SPL players because they are great. Good SPL players move south because it is a great, competitive league packed with talent. Great players from all over the globe come to the EPL. As for Jelavic. Yeah he's a good striker who moved to the EPL to advance his career? What's your point?
5. You talk of Hooper being sat on the bench?! So your suggesting one of your best players wouldn't be good enough to start at sides in the EPL?! Wow way to make a case for the strength of Celtic's squad!
6. Celtic in the top 30 clubs in the world? Maybe. Seeing as there are 7 or 8 EPL clubs in that group, it kinds of blows a hole in your argument that you'd compete in the EPL. Do you think when the CL draw is made the Milan's and Barca's and Man U's are worried about being grouped with Celtic? Your just an awkward side for them to negotiate before the tournament really gets started. Big club in Scotland, in Europe? Just also rans, sorry. The fanbase thing is a myth too. All Irish people support Celtic? Never met a single one. They all support Utd and Liverpool.Celtic are not a big club? thats lies, they are one of the biggest clubs in the world and if you put celtic fans and barca fans in the same stadium your guarenteed celic fans will make more noise. the spl is really poor, but why would any player want to play with southampton? yous will never win a trophy and wont get european football. celtic have a young promising team and if not this year then next year the will reach the group stages in the champions league. and any decent footballer would rather play against the best teams in the world than finish in the bottom half of the premier league^^
Oh dear. Celtic are a big club in comparison to Dundee and St Johnstone. Compared to Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, Milan, Juve, Barca, Madrid, Bayern etc etc. it's relative. What are the criteria for a big club? Finance, European history both past and recent, fanbase, commercial success. Roll these all together and your miles behind the teams named above and many others. In Asia, Africa, far east and other places worldwide nobody gives a st about Celtic?! They watch the EPL and Spanish league and support those teams. The global audience follows the CL too and as Celtic don't ever progress past the first set of groups then why would they be appealing to a global audience.
Celtic fans sound as if they are stuck in the 70's. The football world has moved on at speed but whilst you've been stuck in your little SPL fishbowl it's whizzed past you. You whine about EPL being the money league? Well this is jealousy, nothing else. The EPL is an exciting, competitive league packed with homegrown and world talent that is watched by millions and millions all over the globe. The SPL is a crappy little league that nobody watches and the sides in it get weaker and weaker each year. Funny how you never complain about the money generated by Spanish and italian clubs though!
Also please stop talking about Celtic and Europe. You play in the early stages of it and then get ko'd, similar to a plucky non league side in the FA cup! CL football isn't a draw for Celtic players as you don't really play in it properly. Europa league is Mickey mouse, spurs played their reserves in it. Enough said.
Why would anyone play for saints? Well a place in the most sought after league in the world and to play against world class players every week. Trophies? Don't make me laugh. Finishing bottom half is more worthy than any Mickey mouse cups to be won in Scotland. Probably worth more financially too. If Celtic are such a massive club and Southampton were so poor and if all these riches and trophies and wonderful fans and CL football(??) at Celtic is so much better than a place in the EPL would Hooper not just come out and say thanks for the interest but it's great here and I'm staying? He hasn't done that though has he? I'm not saying he'll sign, for the record I have a feeling he won't for whatever reason but the fact that it is still being discussed and it's still a possibility speaks volumes about any apparent gulf between these two clubs.Celtic have always been a big club, good stadium with big fan base but i think the gulf between the spl and epl has widened in recent years probaly due to the money u get in the epl which has made it the strongest in the world and the decline of the other teams in spl with financial prob etc.. i dont think it makes u a big club cause u outsing the other team thou lol we outsung the arsenal in the fa cup final handsdown even though we lost 1-0 but were not bigger, what southampton are at the mo is ambitious, thats why players wil want to join us. people dont realise were not the same club that spent 27 years in the topflight punching above our weight anymore with no money, we have wealthy owners now, were actualy the 5th or 6th richest club in the world now, but we havant even needed to spend that much yet compared to other teams in the chapionship for example, because the club is so well run under the leadership of cortese and adkins, instead weve been spendind money behind the scenes for the futre, upgrading our training facilitys spending 15 mil and getting ready to increase capacity to 55k, actualy we did win a trophy a few seasons back, ok it was the st johnsons cup a kinda league cup for div 1 but we took 50k supporters to that game and applied for another 20k tickets which wembley wouldnt let us have, even though cortese ofered to pay for extra stewards etc.. theres not many teams that could take 70k to that final, our support is big now we took 12k or more to sum away games last year, we also have a top academy along with arsenals its the best in england, producing the likes of bale, walcot and chamberlain in recent years and going back alan shearer and matt le tissier..oh and scott mcdonald remember him? he scored twice against u for motherwell and cost u the title to rangers, u then bought him and he scored 51 goals in 88 games, he couldnt get near our first team when were in the prem back then, i did see him play in a testimonal for us once and i thought he looked good but rupurt lowe our chairman then was playing along side him up front.. lol but with regards to the hooper deal i'd say it was 50-50 , one thing in our favour thou is that he knows adkins from Scunthorpe but see what happens i heard celtic have offered him a new contract, so there obviously trying to keep him..
