Hi Ed, Everybody is posting about Podolski to Arsenal is he the only good player out there? I do think Arsenal need creative MD on the mould of Cesc, who can play the team and score goals. What do you think about?

The actual links that have been made with Norwich city this transfer window (various sources)
Chris Gunter of Nott'm Forest - I'm sure I'll be attacked by Forest fans for mentioning this as I've seen in previous posts, but a link in the Daily Mail none the less.
Nathan Delfouneso of Villa (loan) - Dependant on Naughton joining permanently or not (hope so!) Out of favour at the moment
Snodgrass of Leeds - Fair to say our interest will have been revived for this transfer window, he'd definitely be what we need in Midfield, but don't think Leeds need to sell players right now at all, therefore we'd face inflated prices.

Just to confirm, I'm not saying ALL these people, I think it'll be 1 or 2 players, but the midfield and attacking areas our the most likely to be strengthened.

Just heard from a Very reliable source from inside Plymouth Argyle, They have agreed a fee with Stourbridge for Ryan Rowe and for Stockport's Nick Chadwick, and they are deep in discussions with Harrison Dunk, Scott Spencer and Jon Shaw, The club also have taken teenager Rory Drake and Yannick Boli (who had a previous trial with the club) on a two week trial, at which point they will decide whether to add them to the ever growing squad. Also deal to sign Darren Purse permanently is expected to be completed by this time next week, with Millwall keen to offload the experienced deffender

Kane Ferdinand - Southend
Chris Whepdale - Gillingham

Rich Owner buying everything in sight, nice; Italian Manager as slick as can be, squirmy; Gareth Barry still playing when even Capello sees he's past it, crazy; Adam Johnson get get part games generally (except today) when he's the best they have, disgraceful. BUT a goal in the last second of injury time at the end of the second half to win for the home tea at the Stadium of Light, PRICELESS! Only the Manu U defeat, Chelsea capitulation, and Spurs draw yesterday came close to the deleight of that. Close but not quite there.

I keep hearing Liverpool are to snap Cahill from under chelsea's noses but why would they want to do so. Liverpool need goal scorers, their defence is the best in the premier league this year (equal with Man city presently in goals conceded - but 4 of those were when down to 9 men in a silly game of red mist). Meantime Chelsea, like England need desparately to replace JT. I've never been a fan but now he's even worse than bad and not at all top prem team centre half material. Advice to King Kenny (who to be honest needs no advice) - Skirtel and Agger are fine defenders, Carra still there to back up as are a few young decent lads in Kelly (actually really central defender) Coates and Wilson. Advice to AVB (who does need it) you are probably alienating the wrong one of the two Chelsea "idols". I know Lampard is not a central defender but he's been worth more to Chelsea than JT ever had (possibly because he is good) and can still do a job. JT never could so pay Cahil what he wants and get rid of the lad who has done no more for football than he has for the image of the game and the youngsters who should look up to footballers!

Believable8 Unbelievable2

Liverpool.......blah,blah,blah. Drivel dreamers, who continue to live off past glories....get over yourselves.

Agree4 Disagree5

I'll get over myself mate no problem but I am not a Liverpool fan sorry to disappoint! Not one part ofwhat I said should have made you think that by the way - I was talking about a teams need or not for a central defender and chelsea need it more FACT. Both can crash and burn for all I care but I reallly amno fan of JT FULL STOP!

Oh and who are your team pal? Probably like mine they have no past or present glories!! So get over yourself fool!

ManU, Chelsea lose and you'd think the world had come to an end. No matter what you say it's easy being a supporter of a top 4 (or 6) side. So having to read about managers, players and fans cry over one result is laughable. Try supporting a mid table team with no realistic chance of winning anything (money talks). And even when you get into Europe, if its not the champions league you have the brass to complain and dismiss the competition. Perhaps if the fairplay rules ever come into play (personal i dont believe they exist, and are a fairytale.... like Andy Carroll scoring a goal) things will become more competitive top to bottom, which can only be good for the league. Don't get me wrong if United or City win the title, well done, I don't hate any of these teams. But it would be nice if a few other teams than the usual suspects were in the mix (I am aware City are new to this dance) and then perhaps the fans of the so called big clubs would appreciate their time at the top of the table more. Now go ahead and run to the defence of your team and slam what i've said to be false.... but if most of us were in your position with your money we wouldn't be complaining (spoiled).

Believable2 Unbelievable7

Actually I support none of these so called cash rich big clubs but I do not believe you can tar Liverpool, Man U or Arsenal with the same brush as Man City and Chelsea in particular. With or without the recent influx of rich ownership cash (which is just a real game of monopoly for some folk that have nothing else to do with their money) the 3 first mentioned teams have HERITAGE and a history of WINNING and thus have built a kingdom and international fan base based on that. Income comes with that. Fact is they are 3 hugely successful clubs, probably (arguably) in the order I place them due to Liverpool's European joy but in any case and I think it unfair to knock that.

The others: Chelsea and now Man City could at any point be joined by another if another "monopoly man" wants to play the game (e.g. mid table teams like Villa, Everton, et all) but, like the Chelsea's and Man City's of this world, we'd all know it was only cash gone mad and that they'll never have the heritage that was in existence way before all this silly money came calling!

Agree4 Disagree1

I think you can include Liverpool, they splashed out £35m on Carrol thats more than my team has spent in the last 10 seasons.
