With Welsh coming to PNE, Ian Hume is weighing up a potential move back to former club Tranmere Rovers! Rovers also look to sign a new striker, Ryan Lowe and Izale McLeod are both potential targets!

charlton and millwall are also showing a serious interst in him.

Strikers named for the England Squad? can any one tell me why Graham/holt should not be in the side? or why their preference should be in the side? dont bother with Rooney its a bit obvious that hes no1 even though banned! but theres 4/5 places available

Go on Yahoo and watch the Worst Shots of the Season video.
Holt is on there 3 times! We don't want him at the Euros thanks.

Basically even if you play in the premiership on a weekly basis but for a lesser team you stand very little chance of being selected because the managers are afraid of the press and the stick they will receive if that player flops. Pick somebody from a top six club then it doesn't mahtter if they flop, the manager won't get the same criticism. For instance , I couldn,t imagine Danny Welbeck getting anywhere near an England shirt if he played for Norwich. In my opinion one of the best midfielders this season has been Mark Davies of Bolton but do you think he's going to get a look in? no chance.

How has nobody snapped up Adam Clayton yet. I think he should go to Bristol city as I see him alongside Marvin Elliot and Kalifa Cisse

Nobody has got him because he wants too high wages

I dont know what your salary cap is at bristol city mate, but we (leeds) put him up for sale because he wanted £15,000 a week at leeds. good player though. garyd MOT

Would just like to say well done to Swansea, Norwich & QPR for avoiding relegation from the Premier league this season....well done to all of those people who had that right in their start of season predictions (ED ...I bet there wasn't one!)
I am a Swansea fan and although not as comfortably as they did I was always confident that they could avoid relegation, I also knew that Norwich were a very good side before making some very good acquisitions in the transfer market, I expected QPR to have performed slightly better because of the coin, but they stayed up never the less.
Now for all of those people who feel the urge to make their predictions for next season, most of whom have not known life outside the premier league, or have very short memories and think that their club immediately develop world class pedigree, here is a little tip watch more championship football, it's of my opinion (feel free to agree/disagree) that the bottom ten in the premiership are hardly, if any better than the top ten of the championship and any club coming up will be no pushover, I firmly believe that the three clubs coming up Reading, Southampton & west ham/ Blackpool have more to offer than the clubs that have just gone down (o.k. I think Bolton are better than they have shown but over the season they have been Siht) quite happy that Pratley has gone back to the championship, apparently it was not about the money just wanted a fresh challenge, well that didn't last long did it Darren? Pretty similar with De Vries...it was not about the money (wolves apparently offered four grand a week more) it was down to the fact that wolves were an established Premier league club so he wanted to keep their bench warm? And after watching his last few performances he may struggle to get a game in the Championship even if Hennessey goes!
Well that's enough of my Gloating so as I said Well done to Swansea QPR and Norwich and all of the best to the Three sides coming up, sorry to all west ham fans but I'm rooting for Blackpool!, come on Dobbie do the Bizz, I hope you sign for Blackpool and have a good season in the Premier league, because you deserve it, you know all of the Swansea fans love you but it just haven't happened for you and I don't think anybody knows why? You've always given 110%.

Do you want de vries back ? please take him i beg you hes so shakey not convincing at all

15 May 2012 20:44:46

Nardiello is a good signing, but I feel for Rotheram fans who have to sit and watch Odejayi play

Bradford city are looking at resigning Andy O'Brien from near rivals Leeds United. The 32 year old was transfer listed by Neil Warnock earlier this month after not being included in Neil's plans for a promotion push next season.

the liability that is joey barton may be
sacked from QPR but it will cost them
11 million if this happens

Trouble is there is always
another club that will
sign him
mores the pity
kick him out of the game
altogether

I agree he is a thug, should not be allowed to play profesional football in england again

id rather be at millwall than watford and we dont even want deeney he is pony!! keogh will be the top striker in the championship next season! watford better than millwall funniest thing i heard all year. melt

So you're suggesting Millwall are better than Watford? Who did the double over you this season (and last season, for that matter)? Remember the 6-1? Even Joe Garner has scored against you.

I love keogh so under rated at wolvesbut im happy hes scoring

from Mick McCarthy, Steve Bruce
or Alan Curbishley.

Gleeson will leave MK Dons if they do not go up and it looks like Peterboro are the favourites to get him
Paul Taylor is not going to Watford, he wants to go forward in his career not a sideways move.

Stop talking about Bolton you Dingle plebs and concentrate on your own mid-table team and dump of a stadium. Good luck with your bids for Mansfield players. BTW - Bolton are under no pressure to sell - owe the banks a measly 10m - and are favourites to win the league. See you at Turd Moor :)
