having read a number of these comments some of you need to stop pretending this is fifa although this is a rumour sight it doesnt mean you should make them up yourself, half of these rumours are probably from your season on FIFA 11

James Henry is not handing in a transfer request after 2 rejected bids from Ipswich - which were laughed at by Kenny Jackett and John Berylson.

Nadjim "Jimmy" Abdou is not going to Watford, and it is highly unlikely that a striker will move in the other direction.

Tony Craig is definatly not leaving Millwall for Charlton, Gillingham or any other club. (Also Matt "Shaggy" Lawrence is no way better than TC, he's still a dirty player, look at the elbow he gave Jordan Stewart in the Gillingham 0-1 Millwall friendly)

No first team players will be leaving The Den this summer, FACT.

Absolute nonsense from an over hopeful Saints fan. The fee WILL be paid in installments; this is accepted practise. The only hold up now is Wenger's refusal to spend big.

Liverpool and Man City remain on the fringes

I appreciate that you maybe frustrated as a Blackburn fan with all the boardroom issues and reorganisation of the coaching staff, but you should know that Parker will only leave West Ham to play Champions League football and Tomkins is an important part of Sam's plans as shown by the minutes played in the friendlies so far. I can't comment about other targets. Good luck next year.

24 Jul 2011 12:54:15
Blackburn's Venky Owners are considering a shock reorganisation of their coaching staff and put old boy Alan Shearer in charge before the end of the month demoting Steve Kean to a backroom role and reshuffling the scouting staff after failing to sign any of their targets for reasons ranging from failed work permits to players reluctance to sign for an unknown manager.

This will enable Them to dive into the Market until september. They have 16 million to spend from phil jones and if they drop their 12 million asking price to 8 as the gunners have requested for Samba and ship Kalanic off for around 5 this could give them a decent kitty. Likely targets include: Boudebouz - Rangers, Sturridge (loan) Chelsea, Parker (loan with option) West Ham, Tomkins - West Ham, Ranger - Newcastle, a bunch of foreign signings

I have it on good authority that Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain will not be leaving Southampton unless a club matches the Saints valuation of £15 million (with Saints wanting at least £12 million up front), meaning that Alex will not be going anywhere this summer, as leading Premier league clubs that are interested in Alex are not prepared to meet Southampton's valuation of an untried teenager. Financially Southampton do not need to sell, and while Alex wants to move, the club have several other up and coming future stars that they want to protect. The club believes that failure to keep Alex unless on Southampton's terms will be an indication that future stars will be allowed to leave on the cheap, and this is something that they are desperate to avoid, following the old regeme, and the likes of Walcott and Bale

Once again the Arsenal fans just dont get it...Our chairman has said many times that the fee is 12million up front or no deal....This isnt newspaper talk like you lot listen too this is from the horses mouth and as you wont pay 12 million up front he will be at SFC at the start of the season..PS he played brilliantly yesterday and remember we dont need the money...Weve got more money behind us than Arsenal...............

Am i the only one bored rigid with this transfer window, nothing but semi-decent players moving for silly money - seems to me like teams have stronger squads but very little of them are going to have a stronger starting eleven. Man utd and Liverpool have both made some questionable signings, sunderland are trying to fill there team with man utd squad players, Chelsea have been quiet, Arsene Wenger is scared to spend money, Spurs have done nowt, Villa have bought a goalie on £80 grand aweeek that hasn't played in a year, Blackburn have brought in some unknown from aberdeen, Bolton have brought in pratley(unproven), David Moyes is getting next to no money as always, Fulham have bought Gecov ? and what looks like arne riises twin twin, Clichy is a good signing for Man City but any other player they go for cost them well over the odds cause they have money, Theres no way Pardew will get anywhere near the £35 mil they got for for Carroll, Norwich are buying nobodys and are certs to go straight back down, If QPR have money there hiding it well, Stoke have brought in a centre half made of glass, Swansea are in the same boat as norwich (only visiting), WBA will bring in more nobodys and will float about at the bottom of league, Wigan will buy nobody and wont hold onto there best player (Nzogbia), Wolves will always struggle to bring players in as nobody wants to live in Wolverhampton and Celtic and Rangers dont have 2 bob to rub together plus Scotlands league is utter p?h.If you have made it to the bottom thanks for reading my mindless pap and good luck to your team this year

No one wants to live in wolverhampton? wtf you on about why would o'hara move respected your comments until here whoch is utter bull... If wolverhamptons a bad place to live look at sunderland, wba, birmingham and places like wigan and blackburn...

Believable0 Unbelievable1

Sorry about the Wolverhampton thing - it was a cheap shot, Im sure Wolverhampton is nice place to live and i did say myself i was talking pap once again sorry if i offended anybody {Ed025's Note - well said mate..respect..

Agree0 Disagree0

Clearly based on your expansive ramblings about everyone buying nobody's Norwich & Swansea dead certs for relegation, WBA to float at bottom of league & No one wants to live in Wolverhampton etc etc etc suggests you do not support any of those teams you cheaply slagged off... - so who do you support ? and since you apparently know who will finish where I trust you have backed up your mouth with money at the bookies

Agree0 Disagree0

Wolves will be the surprise package of next season. with a fully fit doyle as well as the signings we have made it looks well it would have been nice to see el arabi and upson at the club but we carnt have it all our own way. btw whats bassong doing these days?

Ipswich Town look set to complete the signings of David Stockdale and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas tomorrow from Fulham and Arsenal respectively.

Although Stockdale had the opportunity to join Leeds on loan, it is understood that Leeds weren't prepared to match his wages. As so, Ipswich were, and Leeds are now likely to sign Andy Lonergan from Preston.

Arsenal accepted bids from Portsmouth, Ipswich and Burnley, however, after talks with Paul Jewell on Saturday afternoon, JET decided to join the tractor boys, believed to be on a 3 year deal. A major factor in his move, is that he is not far from home(London) with his move to ITFC, and will still be able to keep in close contact with family, and close friends.
