Watford have quite a few strikers this season, but only about 3 will be in 1st team: Deeney, Acuna and forestieri however (i'm an arsenal fan) and lived around waford for abit and went to a fair amount of the games so I know abit. Any championship side should look at Chuba Akpom on loan from Arsenal he scored 21 goals in 36 matches which includes england u19's, u21 premier league and the next gen series (u18's version of champions league) Chuba was arsenals top scorer in the next gen and arsenal got to the semi's. I know watford have got a lot of strikers but I can imagine most will be loaned or put into u21's. But I've seen chuba play a lot and he is definetely championship quality, he's worth a try on loan.

It sounds unlikely but could Gareth Barry be making a return to Brighton & Hove Albion? The midfielder appears to be on his way out of Manchester City and Brighton could be his next club, possibly as a replacement for Liam Bridcutt.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think "sounds unlikely" is putting it just a little mildly, don't you think?

John Bostock is set to join royal Antwerp on a three year deal after agreeing a £50,000 a weak deal.
Also it looks likely that Swindon are going to let Alan Navarro leave after bids from port vale and Rotherham.

Adam rooney is set to join Swindon on a 3 year contract after he has sorted out his contract from last season. {source : tv}

"John Bostock is set to join royal Antwerp on a three year deal after agreeing a £50,000 a weak deal. "

A bit over-zealous on the old zeroes there mate? Careful, or there'll be some witty remark made about (An)twerp.

Agree0 Disagree0

If John Bostwick can get FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS A WEEK then I am Batman.

Are you sure you didn't get a bit trigger happy with the zeroes mate?

Agree0 Disagree0

Bostock, not Bostwick. Damn you auto-correct!

Agree0 Disagree0

Surely you meant the transfer fee was 50k? Or he's on 50k for the year and not the week?

Has to be a typo or a wind-up.

According to tv, Coventry City defender Cyrus Christie is being tracked by Stoke, Crystal Palace, Huddersfield Town, Derby County and Ipswich Town.

Coventry are battling to keep him but due to financial problems are facing the possibility of being without him this season.

The 20-year-old, who has come through the ranks at Coventry, has made 79 appearances for the League One club, scoring three goals.

As a Huddersfield fan, I would welcome him being signed but realistically if Stoke or Crystal Palace come in for him, I cannot see him turning them down for us.

So Southampton just released Vegard Forren, what the hell is going on? Who is approving these transfers? Is there any hope for Mayuka, maybe he's a bad egg too. Makes you wonder about Wanyama, are we just reaching for potential prospects because we have some money or is the scouting network genuinely working properly.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

All clubs make mistakes signing players, look at Sir Alex's track record with players and you will see even he signed a few turkeys

Agree0 Disagree0

"All clubs make mistakes signing players, look at Sir Alex's track record with players and you will see even he signed a few turkeys"

Yeah, nobody's perfect are they? That old classic excuse which translates as "we really made a balls of this".

Typical.

Agree0 Disagree0

You could scout for some new fans too, judging by the lot on here.

Lucky boy.

Agree0 Disagree0

Did not come up to the high level we are now setting at our club, shows where we are now when we can discard a £4.5 million pound player and on the same day sign someone for £12.5 million pounds. Great Escape I don't think so, The futures bright the futures RED AND WHITE

Pleased Martin Fillo has signed on loan for the season, Uwe Rosler rates him highly sound's like a good replacement for Forrester looking forward to seeing him and the another signing's when we play Celtic, now all we need is Harlee Dean to sign he's contract extension and one more central defender.
Looking forward to the season the squad's looking really strong could finally be our season for promotion.
YOU REDS

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Nice to see a League One side take a promotion bid seriously. Unlike my team and our deluded chairman. It's MK Dons, Peter! Not MaKe Do and mend!

Cheapskate!

Funny when you came to OAKWELL after buying you lot were singing and I quote "we buy who we want we buy who we were west ham utd we buy who we want" you need to buy who fits in next time don't you think LOL AT THE UNHAPPY HAMMERS

Hoping as a west ham fan we have a couple more gems up our sleeves before new season starts. A right winger would be great (Vaz Te is out of his depth), another striker to support Andy carroll with Modibo Maiga and I hope to god we don;t sign Titus Bungle

The tv Sport website has said that Albert Adamoah's agent has released a statment saying that Albert will be putting in a transfer request today after Bristol City blocked two bids last week.

This will certainly draw interest from Crystal Palace, Wigan, Swansea, Cardiff, Derby, Middlesbourgh, Burnley, and (as standard) Ipswich.

City are saying they will only sell him if their valuation is met, and that we want to keep him. (Which we wont).

Only Austin and Ings to sign now and Eddie Howe has an automatic promotion squad at the Cherries.

Agree0 Disagree0

Will you stop? I almost choked on my food there! Funny post though! Automatic promotion? Good one!

Agree0 Disagree0

What?!! Austin's knee's have gone, he'd be lucky to get any club once his contract is up. And for any hope you are contemplating promotion, can I just dash them quickly by saying just cling to the faint hope you stay up first! Jesus, a bit of light on your usual dreary saturday afternoon watching boremouth and all of a sudden your BILLY BIG TIME. Have a look again at the division and you'll see there is a HUGE gulf in class between LEAGUE 1 and CHAMPIONSHIP.

Agree. Top talent in making, would be totally wasted at Cardiff. He'd be better of staying at Blackpool given option of the two.

Di Santo has said his decision on which club he is going to join is imminent. let's hope it's not West Brom. Why let Fortune go and then sign another guy who couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo?

As a die hard West ham fan the thought of us being interested in any spuds players is hard to take. Thoughts of Robbie Keane and how bad he played for us in our relegation season still linger. However, Andres Villas Boas has said the following are surplus to requirements: Jermain Defoe, Emmanuel Adebayor, Scott Parker, Tom Huddlestone, Iago Falque, Andros Townsend, Beniot Assou-Ekotto, Bongani Khumalo and goalkeepers Heurelho Gomes and Brad Friedel. Surely, Townsend would be a good shout and at the right price Parker and Defoe wouldn;t be a bad call either (Ok, so they both left us but let's be realistic about this)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think you may struggle to meet the wage demands for the majority of those mentioned, mainly due to Carroll costing 15 million and refusing to budge from his 100k a week

Carlo Nash has signed a 1 year contract with norwich city as the 3rd choice, with the loss of jed steer now at Aston villa, and Declan Rudd on loan to Preston north end for some much more needed game time. I see Nash playing in the Cup matches.
