2 Important Messages From Dcfc.

1.Shackell will Not leave.The Current
Ongoings are known to Shackell and
He has told people that Clough
told him it is "Highly Unlikely that you
will Not be a Derby Player"."I only
thought it was fair to the Supporters
that we alert them to bids that had
been made.The bids that we recieved
were Way way off the Mark.Shackell
Is a really important Player to Derby
Someone the Club and I have been
Watching for Years.The clubs that
Made Bids for Shackell must of
thought we needed to sell.When
actually we are no posistion to force
a sale.I have no Doubts that Shackell
will be a Derby shirt Next season."

2.We are not Getting a Striker.Clough
and Derby do have targets.But Nigel
feels that he was Impressed by the
Improvements made by his young
Strikers and is More than Confident
someone like Callum Ball can Step up.


After Michael Jacobs Signing 4 more
players will sign.They are

Luke Garbutt
Jon Taylor
Krystian Pearce
Magnus

Sone Aluko was in London on Tuesday to discuss terms with Charlton Athletic and Sir Chris Powell, obviously we don't know how it went but expect it to be successful and to be announced on the weekend

barnsley to sign steven quinn from neighbors sheffeild united

Portsmouth to loan a keeper before Pre Season starts.

Norwich have made a move for Stoke's out of favour striker Kenwyne Jones. Stoke already have two offers on the table for him. Doubt very much Norwich could meet anywhere near his wage demands though.

Reminds me of a post the other day - NCFC and KJ would suit each other because non have played a good standard of football for some time,,,,

YTFC have signed James Hayter and Jamie McAllister on two years deals . Hayter signing on Monday :-)

Eunan O'Kane has turned Crawley down on proposed move.

Can see Crawley struggling this season. Only a couple of signings on what was already a very small squad.

Okay Stokies ,
Definetly not the best transfer period
Mainly mediocre signings ,
mediocre rumours best possible
signings being Matty Phillips and
Matt Jarvis. Michael Owen is probably
for higher profile for signing other
players. Wait till 1st July all will be
revealed as here at the Brit we keep
transfers close to our chest.
Hopefully some extreme quality next
time round. IN TP WE TRUST

Stoke want SSteven Naismith too,after signing Ness today.Everton and West Ham,Southampton,WBA also want him.

ed - where's John Guidetti heading? there are teams interested from almost every league. Do you have any thoughts? {Ed001's Note - I would expect him to stay in the Prem next season on loan. At least, that is what I have been told is the preference City have.}

28 Jun 2012 12:16:28
Sad to see Ness leave Rangers to Stoke. One of the most promising players in years. Has had injury problems but seem to be behind him. That's 4 million odd quid down the drain.

Pls give your opinions and don't hate(PLS put on rumours page ed?:D thanks) {Ed001's Note - the rumours page is not for clogging up with predictions! Don't even waste your time asking in future.}

Nice to see someone believing in the promoted teams, come on URZZZ!

Arsenal 3rd? Norwich 9th? Swansea 10 th ?Southampton and Reading above the likes of Stoke. Get a grip on reality

Southampton, Reading and Norwich to go down.

I think the liverpool in 5th is a bit optimistic , top half maybe just !

Much love

Torres golden boot haha,if he doesnt start scoring hell be given the boot.

An obvious southern bias there, i don't support any Premier league team by the way.

Geordies being under estimated again! Just how we like it.

Well saints and reading are spending more than stoke atm both good sides, both Norwich and Swansea finished above stoke last year, enough reasons?

I take it that it's a Stoke fan keeping on about saints going down don't get jealous of us cause we got two things you havnt good support and money

Hughton interested in resigning Zak Whitbread if they can come to an agreement over wages

Don't know if Owen will end up at Stoke. It looked like Owen had turned down Stoke's pay-per-play offer to join Dubai outfit Al Shabab. His agents had begun discussing terms. For a while it looked like he'd completely given up on his football carer (enter Stoke jokes here, yawn) and was after one last golden pay cheque whilst also expanding his enterprises in racing to the UAE.
Tony Pulis is renowned for being as stuborn as a mule (no horse pun intended) and certainly won't like this turn of events and being treated like a 1am fat girl at a dance.
It will be interesting to see what happens next, I for one, have lost a lot of respect for Owen after this. {Ed003's Note - 1am ? }

You've lost respect for Owen over a load of unfounded rumours?
