Leicester City are set to have a good championship season.. This will be through nurturing home grown players through the youth team to develop in to great young talents, and buying young and hungry players from the lower leagues for small fees.

This is all set to take place without them simply splashing out the cash and buying their way to the top... oh wait.. never mind. I guess all they can do is buy their way up.

Ha ha ha , leicester a city that the fans only watch rugby
welcome you to the seaside , when blackpool rip your crap side to pieces
think you better enter the jpt , cause nothings else will happen

is it just me or is there anyone else out there who thinks that fabregas would stuggle for a starting place in the barca team i also personally think he is ever so slightly over rated and only looks good because he has a very limited bunch of team mates with the exception of van persie

Thats the best view and decent comment ive heard on this site for ages
so true

Hargreaves won't be joining Bournemouth after intrest from higher clubs such as QPR due to the videos he realeased to prove his fitness.

A bid has been excepted for Simon Frances around the region of 60k and it's thought that he will be moved to left back as a replacement for Rhoys Wiggins.

Barrett will be a lightley to be a first team defender with Cooper and Baudrey will be moved into midfield based on the performance he put on last season as sub.

Theirs no deffant first team spot for Jalal or Flahavan as they are fighting for thier spot.

Mcdermott wont be returning as he's joining Huddersfield and Smith still has a tough decision.

No news on when Garry will return and no news on potentional loan moves for any Burnley players. Its been thought that Bartley will make a retun loan move.

And Eddie Mitchell has stated that Bournemouth arn't fiished in the transfer market and to expect surpizes.
--------------------------------------------------

bit late on the Mcdermott info , he signed for the terriers a week ago and played in our first friendly yesterday

---------------------------------------------------
Plus I doubt the bartley rumour is true as fans would not really like it as the way he left, going behind the board and managers back to sign for Burnley, also i think Bradders made a comment on how he left and he was not at all impressed so i hughly doubt this will happen. also QPR are not interested in Hargreaves it Leicester which he has all but signed for and also Francis will be Bournemouth's RB not LB as Bournemouth are most probably getting the Bristol Rovers LB Sawyer or going to get a loan LB in and let Francis play RB

ALSO VILLA ARE VERY CLOSE TO ANNOUNCING THE SIGNINGS OF

SHAY GIVEN
ALAN HUTTON
SCOTT PARKER
JONATHAN WOODGATE PAY AS YOU PLAY DEAL
SCOTT DANN
CHARLES N'ZOGBIA
SHOULD ALL BE VILLA PLAYERS BY THURSDAY

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

mate thats a load of tosh. villa dont need a center back, let alone 2.

if we sell downing as well we need 2 wingers, not one

The players we've lost;

Julian Bennett
Robert Earnshaw
Dele Adebola
Paul McKenna
Guy Moussi (Almost definately)
Kelvin Wilson
Nathan Tyson
(Then Boyd and Konchesky went back to their parent clubs)
I don't see those players as much of a loss if I'm honest.

Bennett never played due to a long term injury.
Earnshaw was poor last season.
McKenna (See above)
Moussi (Came back from injury and never found his feet)
Tyson (Was a bench player, possibly worst loss of the lot)
Wilson (Wanted to go off to Kris Commons at Celtic, barely played a part last season due to Chambo/Morgan
Adebola (Supposed to be one of those impact strikers, hardly Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.)

If we sign ten players, we'll have around 24/25 and with the players we have now, we can mount a serious challenge.

Remember, we're still fourth favourites and Birmingham may struggle.

Cardiff/Leeds will be nowhere near the playoffs this season. Consolidation for them.

Chambers will stop. Guaranteed.

A little point here;

Sven Goran-Eriksson joined Man City in 2007 under the ownership of former Thai president, Thaksin Shinawatra. The club spent big, £30m in one season I recall. The circumstances weren't white as white. Thaksin was wanted for money laundering, fraud and corruption.

Notts County were taken over by Munto Finance, it's fans promised Premier League football in five years. Look who popped up, Sven Goran-Eriksson. Sol Campbell and Kasper Schmeichel were two huge captures for County. Munto Finance were investigated and found to be all sorts of bad things, including frauds.

Sven's next conquest in England is Leicester City, owned by a group throwing over the top fees to sign players such as Matt Mills. Sven still wants Nicky Maynard who will probably cost around £6m. All things considered, Leicester will attempt to buy promotion this season at a cost of around £30m (Wages etc).

Not being funny but whenever Sven turns up at an English club, things look glitzy but if you peel back the wallpaper and take a look at what's underneath, historically, (2/2 times already) there's something wrong.

I'm not bitter, my club is getting promoted this season, I've no doubt about it. Likewise with Leicester, though I doubt they can afford not to.

I am going to pay Owen Hargreaves to play football with my kids in the back garden - pay as you play deal £5 an hour
--------------------------------------------------
I know this is rubbish as national minimum wage is £5.93

10 Jul 2011 19:20:09
Have Leicester or Derby won anything in the last twenty years?

I recall Derby breaking a few of the Premier League records a couple of seasons back, never really picked themselves up from there, and Leicester are on the same sort of level as Forest.

Short memory, in the last 20 years -
2 league cup wins and thats not even mentioning the play off wins or league one champions?

10 Jul 2011 18:16:16
Few squad numbers for Liverpool new one's and changes are Adam-26, Spearing-20, Doni-1, Henderson-14, Maxi-11, Aurelio-17 I would assume that Downing will be handed the number 6 shirt while Brad Jones will be sold if Doni is taking the number 1 shirt.

10 Jul 2011 18:02:46
Leave Arsenal, who play champions league football every year only, to take a sideward step to Man City who can't guarantee medals..Only 30% uplift on a wage that Man United will pay. Not a the right move for Samir Nasri.

10 Jul 2011 16:57:03
Gotta say the guy who puts Nick.KA is very reliable for Southampton rumours, he is probably the only person I would believe on here, well done mate don't know how you get these just keep us posted, cheers:)

I saw Titus Bramble in Norwich last night, he claimed he had pretty much signed for Norwich, any truth in this?


DEAR GOD I HOPE NOT

Norwich are signing young up and coming players dont think Brambles is a goer, but what do you all think of Lambert? He is quietly working away and I think Norwich will not only stay up but be mid table Timalloy

For a team who went into administration in the PL. Yet now they have £7.9mill to spend on 3 players? why lie? it's pathetic

Ed, Could you please make a Millwall rumours site?

Millwall will go Bust there is a rumour for you

10 Jul 2011 12:27:34
Frome studying the newspapers and sports sites I think the look of Tottenham Hotspurs will resemble the following list. Some may be added or deleted but 90% will remain.

Goal. Courtois, Fridel, Cuddiccini

Defence: Corluka, Dawson, Gallsa, Assou-Ekotto, Walker, King, Bassong, Cahill, Tasci, Upson.

Midfield: Lennon, Sandro, VDV, Pienaar, Parker, Pjanic, Diarra, Cole, Evans, Huddlestone, Rose

Forwards: Berbatov, Damaio, Pedroza, Coullibaly(for the future) and one of Llorente, Rossi or Osvaldo.

Just research and you will see this is the closest us punters can come. Of course there will be a few changes but few.

10 Jul 2011 12:23:42
Lee Hughes would be a benchwarmer at best in the Championship. If he stays with Notts, he would continue to be a fan favourite and a regular starter. He has already committed himself to Martin Allen, and he wont leave now.

10 Jul 2011 12:05:18
Foster on the plane to USA with WBA, 5.5 million plus Miller to Birmingham signed last night. Jerome Thomas to Newcastle 5.75 million to be sorted this week although he is travelling with the team. Morrison also leaving 4 million Everton, Rangers favourites. Bednar to Middleborough stumbling block 2.25 million price tag. All happening with Roy and Dan plotting next moves to be tied up within next 2 weeks.







He will have to be pragmatic - we all hate taking losses but with the contract running down - £3 - £4m is realistic - who is going to pay more - he could always pay wages and then lose on a bosman - i reckon he would hate that even more - don't even suggest rangers - they are broke


Got to laugh at all you idiots on saying Rangers have no money, as it happens we are probs one of the only clubs around that are not in any debt and there is money to spend otherwise there wouldnt be bids going in for players, so unless you are Rangers owner Craig Whyte you know eff all so away you go play tig with the buses.

Hey Pal Rangers ARE STILL in debt just that it is with Whyte's holding company, as for making bids you are not very successful are you. Maybe you should up your wages offer to over FIFTY POUNDS a week Haha Timalloy

You lot will be in admin shortly once the tax man takes back the cash you swindled

Hopefully the Bluenoses will go bust, bye, bye.

10 Jul 2011 11:22:15
Im sick of people saying that Michael Owen will join a championship club it wont happen he started his career in the Premiership and he will retire a Premiership player.

Owen has been finished since he left Liverpool, stole his wages at Newcastle and got medals at Man U with no input ( these are frowned upon ) Premiership footballer? I would say league 1 and no better.

Good luck... Whitts will be long gone at the start of the season due to the crap technical players macky bringing in.. Mid table if you are lucky...

Dundee arab ere sorry to disapoint but goodwillie off to blackpool unfortunate for us but wat the hell

10 Jul 2011 09:50:59
Scott Parker has too much respect for the WHU fans to sign for the Spuds, he would rather poke his eyes out with a red hot poker whilst having his toe nails pulled out. Spuds have to much in midfield and Scott would not get many games

09 Jul 2011 22:55:02
Scott Parker is off to Spurs and West Ham will replace him with former academy star, Chris Cohen for a fee of £800k

10 Jul 2011 09:46:19
Reality check for QPR fans, do you really think you have the squads to compete against the likes of 99% of the teams in the Prem, look at Sunderland, Blackburn, Fulham, Stoke, Newcastle let alone Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and so on they have purchased/gained some good/great players QPR are looking at loans from the Championship. Still you have nice looking shirt. Good luck with that, lets talk again when we're swapping leagues in May 12. Sorry don't mean to be nasty but get real, if West Ham went down with a crap manager and a team of demotivated players what chance has QPR got when after the first 6 games you may have a few points but also a team of demotivated players and a manager hanging on to his job. Enjoy the demoralising trips to most away games this season. ha ha ha


Reality check for West Ham fans
It will be a hell of a lot more difficult than you think to bounce straight back as Champions, there are a few teams that will be right up there, Having Sam as Manager is no guarantee.





Not sure on this source for noble but for a club that got relegated with a bunch of players paid fortunes at least QPR have got a team moving forward getting added to and there will be signings West Ham will find themselves in full financial crap mid table and any player worth more than twenty quid being sold enjoy the trip to Doncaster this season ha ha ha

10 Jul 2011 08:46:50
Some of these Oldham rumpled are 100% lies, the fact that they're training at the Lancaster club at the moment whilst Chapel Road has the pitches done is a big clue.

Stop making up 100% untrue stories, clueless people

10 Jul 2011 02:13:20
heard that mike ashley is being giving the freedom of sunderland for his good services AGAINST newcastle

10 Jul 2011 01:25:40
What these deluded half wits can't see is that Mr Bloom might be worth £20 trillion - it is irrelevant - the only thing that mayyers is the cash / loans / guarantees he gives - frankly they are over trading - remember Leeds chasing the Champions league dream / Risdale - everyone that overtrades gets caught out = tick tock - your clock is ticking
What was that Bang
Brighton going pop

Unless you are Brightons accountant how the f*** would you know?
You have no idea of the funds that are available, or the conditions for repayment, the running costs of the club, or the income from sales.
If you want to worry about other clubs finances, take a look at Man U or Chelsea

I'm no fan of Man Utd or Chelsea, but Man Utd is the ideal long term business in football. They are a very strong brand world wide and are a very well run club.

Chelsea, admittedly, have an owner that could pull the plug, but I think he's still enjoying himself. He's one of the richest people in the world and hasn't really overspent in the past few seasons. Chelsea have a long term future.

With regards to Brighton, they haven't got the millions to spend that is being reported, nor have Southampton (I think it's just two rival clubs going up and fans/media getting over-excited.

The only club with money to spend are Leicester, who are trying to make a statement by signing everyone who played in the Championship last season. Their finances ought to be the talking point.

Believe me, southampton do. their owners are worth quite a lot and will do whatever it takes to continue with their '5 year plan' for the premier league

09 Jul 2011 23:58:08
Norwich will not get into any auction to sign Nicky Maynard, one we have signed all the forwards we need, and two he is over priced at £4.5m.

Too right, that's what it is. He's not of a quality to help you stay in the Premier League.

I'm a Forest fan and it looks as though our club wont get caught up in a bidding war, Southampton wont pay out millions for him either and Leicester keep having bids rejected.

Bristol City are trying to cash in as much as possible for Maynard here, my view is that £6.5m will see him go to Leicester, but no player in the Championship last season that hasn't gone up to the Premier League with Swansea, Norwich and QPR is worth £6.5m.

Maynard isn't worth the £5m Leicester had rejected for him.

Agreed, Sort of money Bristol City want should get you a good premier league player, not a decent championship striker.

09 Jul 2011 23:09:26
if it is true city's stadiums naming rights being worth £400 mil then it is the biggist swindle ever in football and if uafa do nothing they will be as corrupt as fifa {Ed001's Note - it is not just naming rights involved.}

It has already happened so just get over it. City won the FA cup this year because they were the best TEAM in the competition. You will not stop MCFC and your bitterness suggests deep down you know that too.
