After speaking to a few of the boys in Swansea it sounds like us swans would like the look of Eddie Howe being our next manager. He is young, vibrant, ambitious and has his teams playing a good ground game similar too the Swansea way. I hope Huw Jenkins atleast interviews the man. I for one would love to see him here.

Oxford won't be spending much and feel they already have a squad that will lead to success. Don't expect much in the way of signings. Most supporters will be hoping that the current squad play like they did early last season, and not like the side that only took 3 points from 21 at the end of it!

We just avoided relegation so what! its been like that for ages, i was glad we actually spent the first half of the season around 10th and not 24th as the other seasons.
As for signings we can only afford league 2 players so stop expecting messis
and at least they are young unlike the previous managers who brought in pensioners

Is it just me or does anyone else love hearing all the rumours about Baldock going here there and everywhere. Snubbed P'Boro for West Ham, sat on the bench for 95% of the season and can't get a game. Not bitter but I thought when we bid for him is he good enough! prooved right he ain't. Gleeson also, MK will never get out of Div 1 with the players and manager they have and the near empty stadium every home game with little or no atmosphere can't help.

Danny Murphy and Fredric Piquionne to join Steve Bruce's new look hull city side

I doubt it, Bruce will be going after young players, not old premier league rejects, to fit in with all of our other young players.

Ha Ha, after just about surviving after spending millions on wages and fees for overpaid, old players. You want them to do it all again. Really, get real

Wrong. He wants a few older players to add experience to the young squad. Sensible move if right wages.

Oxford are about to launch their transfer assaukt. They are going to take 6 of the top players in league two which will see them promoted. They have a firm plan to see Championship within 3 years. There are no money issues and have just been bideing their time over the last few years and putting money away ready.

The gulf between the Premiership and the Championship is getting smaller by the year - hence last season was one of the first seasons where the three who had been promoted and not had at least one relegated straight away.
Swansea will struggle this season. New manager and second season syndrome.
Norwich as well - shame to see them in the bottom three but I think they will be in the mix. Likewise QPR, Wigan, WBA and Southampton. Reading and West Ham to survive.
Brendan Rodgers will be an enormous flop at Liverpool and will only last half season. Liverpool will be in bottom half of the table when he is sacked.
Top 4 will be Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd and Arsenal. Tottenham and Newcastle have had their one good season and will both finish Top 10 but not chasing for Champions League again.
I can also see Alex Ferguson finally deciding to retire at the end of the season as another year goes by with Man Utd winning nothing for the second season in a row, and handing over to a top European manager... watch this space

I wonder if anyone from Charlton or any clubs really read these rumours. Knowing what Chris Powell did last year i think he would have new transfer lined up weeks ago. Some of the players he got last year were great and I think they will be given a chance next season. With seven subs now I think he will get another few players in. But we Charlton fans have got to remember what happen a few years ago. We paid top league one wages but will we pay top championship wages. We want hungry players who want to prove something not players moving down the league end of their careers. But it does make me smile about some of the things said on here.
