jeffrey schlupp in on loan possibly permanent if all goes well so paul benson will leave and darel rusell will join for 100 000 , hogan ephraim might sign but powell must think about callum harriotts development because harriot is excelling at an incredible rate and hogan is good but not sure, michael morrison will possibly leave but for 1mil as he is very good in central defence and that will mean stephen gleeson signing for 750 000
paul hayes could possibly consider his options as first team choices r being limited if he leaves tosan popo will step up powell will not need to sign a player everytime something happens to another player considering our academy is producing some of the best for a while, jonnie jackson is quality but no 22 he s 30 next year 2 more years at the club before harriot bursts onto the national scene when we r in the premiership and millwall r in league 1

Why don't you all keep quite for now lets be honest anyone in the top 8 could win it or automatically go up, also the play off's are normally a lottery whereby anyone participating could go up. Why don't we start shouting when the season is nearly over and get on with the speculation about who is going where, after all this website is called football-rumours not football ballcarp. Oh and by the way the Hammers are the best team in the league lol lol lol

What the hell does the situation have anything to with messrs Ferguson, Pardew and Moyes. The fans pay their money if the club ain't doing it they have a right to change-even though I would admit that oat times player's get manager's the sack.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Football is a results business. Kean isnt getting results. The fans have a right to criticize. {Ed003's Note - The majority of fans are complaining about the owners,do you realise they have not had a press officer since they took charge, there is no communication from the hierarchy to the fans it is unbelievable,when the first protests happened they sent the health and safety guy out to speak to the press!! I'm not saying Kean is the right man for the job/or not, but the owners have not got a clue how to run a football club. I will say Kean has handled himself with the utmost respect considering the relentless pressure.}

Agree1 Disagree0

I believe these were the original ones who wanted the trap door in the premier league to be bolted, because they do not know how to run or organise a football club, And at this moment in time can I wish Big Sam a very merry Christmas, and I bet he's still having a good laugh at his former employers, Go on Sam Bring the Hammers back up(signed A Norwich fan)

Swansea and Norwich never spent a lot of cash on new players and they are competing.And Rangers and Celtic have better players than they do.Also as far as the championship V SPL debate goes.Rangers buy the best SPL players.And are playing for 4 in a row.Celtic buy out the championship,and are already 4 points behind this year in the league.Lafferty was teqnicly a EPL player when we bought him.As Burnley had went up.Healy played championship and cant get games for us.Cant think of any more,that have played there.Have a think about it.Before you start running down Scottish football.Ally
...........................
In the 3 years he 'played' for Burnley he made 83 appearances and scored just 10. Also, he wasn't part of the 2008/09 season when Burnley won promotion to the EPL as he had already left you fool
English CHAMPIONSHIP
Seasons = 3, Played 83, Scored 10, not even a good championship record and would have been turn apart in prem. So get your facts right next time.

something i dont get, i have not seen 1 rumour post linking grant holt with any team yet norwich fans keep posting on how happy he is and settled in he is. fyi i dont think anybody actually cares.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

As a Norwich fan I can answer that very easy for you, It will be very supprising to hear any City player linked to any Premier league club, only teams would be is them in the bottom 3 and those in Lower league why would any Norwich player want to go to a team that is struggling so survive, we only have a squad of 25 as do all the prem but with other players sitting around doing the crossword in the sun is far better than going out on loan or perminant, deal to a team in the lower league And Grant Holt was baught in by the chairman and the season ticket holders who never took rebate when we went down to the 3rd division, Showing loyalty like that is not seen at many clubs,

I will give you that one.We did sign him in June.Who else have we got that has played championship,apart from Healy who cant get games.Our our back up keeper Alexander.And big Lafferty then?And people wonder why Rangers are playing for 4 in a row.They are playing for 4 in a row,cos un like Celtic.We buy the best talent out of the SPL.Well the ones that are not snapped up bye EPL clubs.This is proof that your championship,is not the great league that you claim it is.Our national team boss has even said so.He said last season,that he saw more boring games in the championship,than anywhere else.Ally

Blackburn have said they cannot afford to sack Steve Kean.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

Good !! I hope he stays. Blackburn fans need to undertand what 'supporting' a team means. Again 'SUPPORTING'. Chanting him to go is NOT supporting your team. If you get behind the manager then youre getting behind the team. And by getting behind the team you are raising the morale and confidence of the team. All this 'flying planes over the pitch with banners' is ridiculous. If Blackburn fans were to CHEER ON the team each week rather than PROTEST against the team then maybe their fortunes will change. Its not Keans fault. He's doing his best.

Agree2 Disagree0

Sack kean , give him a job in scotland ,
dont stop chanting kean out , you pay your money and the manager is clueless .
a bit like scottish football!

Neil Lennon says he wants a Centre Forward and a Centre Back, I think splash out on Jordan Rhodes and Sol Bamba and the league title will come home to where it belongs.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

What back at rangers?
you wont sign anyone , s**t club ,s**t league!

maximus

Agree2 Disagree2

Theres talks that Kris Boyd could be coming to Celtic or going back to Rangers.

Agree0 Disagree0

Maximus is angry that Blackpool mist out on Eion Doyle.And he would rather play for Hibernian.Who are a bigger club,with better facilities than Blackpool.I also remind him about Rangers kids,playing a full second half.And beating Blackpool this year.He has s short memory.Ally

Agree4 Disagree1

Sol Bamba will cost you 4 mill at least matey bit beyond your price range, Why would he go back to SPL anyway couldn't wait to leave it

Agree1 Disagree0

Cant see them getting Bamba to.They could afford that easy,they are a bigger club than Leicester.And could offer him a chance to play champions league,if they win the league.They have high pa rates there.So have Celtic for star men.But we are talking about Sol Bamba.The Marven Andrews off Hibernian.Lennon would have had him long ago,if he thought he was any good.So would we for that matter.I am a Rangers fan,Ally

Agree0 Disagree0

So you'd match his 15k a week that he's on at LCFC, and I think you'll find LCFC have loads of money, you missed out thats whats bugging you we got him for 100k and he has turned out to be excellent, perhaps the carp standard of football up there was dragging him down?

Agree0 Disagree0

And neil lennon's got a great record for signing great players hasn't he NOT

Agree0 Disagree0

Leicester signed Bamba for £250k not £100k and he's been ok, but not excellent. I'd take their arm off @ £4m but he's not worth £4m so it's not going to happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would any decent player in England want to drop down to Scottish league, which is on a par with our Blue square league, looking at the attendances of some spl clubs then look at Luton, even Lowestoft a league lower get around 1500 on a wet night, need we say more

Agree0 Disagree0

I would rather see Celtic signing championship players.And Rangers signing SPL players and winning the league.And Celtic can pay 15 grand.They have had guys on 25 grand.As I say there called sar players.Bamba is not a star player.He is a ordinary player,and not a cultured centre half.If he was any good,they would have signed him long ago.And Gers only wanted Danns as a squad player.This is why he signed for you.And no player will ever play in Europe again,for a long long time in that league.Birmingham being there is the first and last time,that your ever going to see that.And they are out on there ear.Ally

huddersfield fans are mugs.jordan rhodes is too big for you as he has proved, even if you flukely got promoted this year you would then be a mid table best in the championship, if there is interest from prem clubs then rhodes would want the step and it would be pretty harsh if chairman or manager stood in his way. big wow you won the league in the 30's but now you are wand will be for a long time in either league1 or championship at best.

What a person you are, must be a saddo Leeds fan who has nothing better to do.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Mid table ? well above leeds then

Agree1 Disagree1

People rate Jordan Rhodes because they 'think they have to'. Although hes good, he aint that good. People judge and rate him buy whay they have heard of him and NOT what theyve seen of him.

Agree1 Disagree0

Someone who has scored 4 hatricks by dec in 1 season speaks alot i think.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes but remember its league one your talking about,Billy Paynter shone in this league,couldnt do it in the championship.

Hi ed! Merry Christmas. Well it's all going on down Ashton Gate. Maynard is leaving us after 3 years! I just want to say, Nicky, good luck in your career. I hope Everton sign him, cos I think he has what it takes in the Premiership. Everton are short of strikers. But, the rumour about Kris Boyd replacing him is NOT true! I have heard a TRUE rumour that Hearts want away striker, Ryan Stevenson is 1 of 3 players on Del-Boy's wish list. The other 2 are: Ryan McGivern (Man City), AND Stephen Pearson (Derby), both are on loan at the Gate, and they have impressed us TRUE City fans and Del-Boy! But without Nicky, one fears we are in trouble. My message to the fans is: Get behind the boys, we are in for the rides of our lives.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Stevenston is not coming at all.He said so on radio Scotland yesterday or Boyd.Ally

How great the pompey support is? We have over 7k more average than them. Their support is poor, they restricted our allocation greatly, we sold ours very quickly. The bubble didnt help either. Get your facts right numpty. Probably another west ham fan that cant accept that they arent cut for prem anymore
---------------------------
7k more average in a stadium with 13k more seats? Congratulations on that one! We didn't restrict your allocation, we gave you more than we've given any team this season (apart from Brighton), so pipe down.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Is that the team. that,s in money trouble again here,s a penny treat urself to a personality .

Agree0 Disagree0

11k more average - FACT. We have more seats 'cos our support is greater, simple.

Agree1 Disagree0

Southampton have more seats because they have a fairly new stadium. At their ols Ground, the Dell, they had lower gates than Pompey. These days attendance has a lot to do with facilities and there is no doubt that Southampton have better facilities than Pompey. Better fans is a different discussion and if you ask most fans across the country they would go for Pompey's fans as the better.
