Just over from the Liverpool rumours page. Big Swansea fan, all my family are from there (Winch Wen). Wanted an opinion from you guys on the ability/potential on Borini, from what you saw of him, as he's being heavily linked to sign this week. Cheers.

What about the 6million hoilet will closet at tribunal?

Training photos at Stoke City show ex-rangers player Jamie Ness wearing number 8 in Stoke colours. Surely the low number is an indication that not only are Stoke determined to keep hold of their new player but Pulis has plans for him as a starting 11 player.

So Swindon have come out and said an extra 2million is being invested in the club! Can any town fans shed any light on if this is just for transfers alone or help toward re-development of town end? Makes sense its for transfers as Wray said yesterday we were waiting for 2 weeks before any other signings and by the time this meeting with board members has taken place and the money is sorted 2 weeks would be up! Thanks!

Also keep hearing stfc to sign Harry Kewell

FL to penalise Pompey a second time with another 10 point deduction to add to the one that relegated them last season. Surely the league should be trying to help Pompey not punish them again?

They are helping them by letting them stay in Football League BANKRUPTCY should mean Non League you,re bankrupt passed administration should be gratefulstill in position you are in ?
got to feel sorry though for all proper and true fans

Why, did the same to leeds except we had 15 point deduction

Let Pompey rot! They deserve all they get. Small clubs like them cant withstand the finances they had and expect to be ok. Leeds and Southampton have been through it. Pompey are in there rightfull place now. Lower league football

Also Hulk and young starlet Lucas will be looking at clubs in england when their olympic campaign starts with brazil.

This makes me wonder about neymar, will he enjoy is time in England enough to stay? Hopefully, but very unlikely.

Cheltenham Town will NOT be signing Izale McLeod.

I don't think any player is worth Losing Andy Carroll Over..
Liverpool will live to regret it. Especially if he's sold to another prem club.
I hope its Just 'rumour' talk because taking a 25mil loss on a up and coming playing is ludicrous

Its not a £25 million loss , its a £10 million gain coz hes worthless right now ! fact

Much love

This Aint A rumour but why is brendan rodgers so blind with all the interest in andy carroll he is obviously a top player using him as a loan player is ridiculous why dont liverpool staff focus on building the team around him and get the best out of him just like newcastle did

It just goes to show what a joke west
ham really are. They are about to lose
out on Nathaniel Clyne after they tried to
penny pinch when trying to agree
compensation with Palace. Reading are now
expected to offer Palace a substantial
package which could be to good to refuse.
They also HAD Kenwynne Jones and
Modibo Maiga lined up but both deals
now expected to fall through because WHU
again stalling over fee and wages, however
they are willing to throw good money down the drain
to try and bring in Andy carroll. Are you
having a flippin laugh. WHy would any
team use £15m and £80k a week when they
not willing to pay for Maiga (power and pace and good in the air), Joselu and Dame N'Doye.
WHat is going on in that WEST HAM
boardroom. If this is a sign of the dealings
west ham will get up to this season its
gonna be a very very long season and
championship beckons already

All the players westham have been linked with are either crap, untryed or foreigner's who are over priced and as wages looking for way too much... we can not waste any more money on lazy players... as for carroll 15m is about right. 80k over the top. maybe 50k... more if he does well over the years...

12 Jul 2012 02:41:53
got a feeling reading have already done some sort of deal with crystal palace regarding a player.dont know who but why would reading be playing palace at home in a friendly? reading would make a loss on this game so must be to sweeten a deal.

Possibly Nathaniel Clyne. We seem to have been talking to him for a while.
