31 Aug 2011 23:29:58
Shows Rodriguez got no ambition burnley going no where we didn't want him any way let him stay at a little club and rot
We didn't want him anyway !? thats why you bid 5m for him? face it you couldn't get your man. As for lack of ambition we are signing young players for the future and keeping hold of our best ones .. buidling for the future with the ambition of getting back to the Preimer League !
31 Aug 2011 23:15:02
LOL at all the Southampton fans who are now saying we don't need or want Jay Rod .. You were dying to have him posting rumours everyday about him !
UTC and massive respect for SUPER JAY RODRIGUEZ
I would have loved to have him at Saints but respect his decision to stay put.
31 Aug 2011 23:14:53
late transfer sensation rangers sign messi after further investigation it should read rangers in a messi
31 Aug 2011 23:10:58
Jay Rodriguez is still a Burnley player.
31 Aug 2011 22:39:55
Y banyoun has sign year loan deal he said very excited to play for gunner
Do you mean benayoun?
31 Aug 2011 22:38:08
lolololol im a watford fan , and no hes not a person all fans have lost confidence in him because hes useless, did u evan watch the birmingham game !
31 Aug 2011 22:32:46
Saints don't need him sorry for rod though coyrs
Why are you sorry for Jay Rod. He will end up at a far better club than Southampton who will soon run out of money the way they are frittering it away on wages. All good things must come to an end and the Liebherr's will pull the plug one day mark my words.
31 Aug 2011 22:13:43
Jay Rodriguez HIMSELF turns Southampton down .. not such a big club now you are ?!!! smug southerners ! SUPER JAY RODRIGUEZ
Good for him. I'm a Saints fan and I fully respect that he has chosen the club he loves over money. You don't see that too often in Football these days. Good luck for the season, just not against us! COYR
'not such a big club now, are you?' would probably sound better mate
Yes but, as a Burnley fan, I think it was disgraceful the directors were willing to let him go for a paltry £5 million when they said it would take £6 million for them to even consider selling the player.
Kilby out, sack the penny-pinching board.
I am a Burnley fan and am really angry about this. I am pleased it looks like Jay Rod is staying but the Burnley board is an utter disgrace for being lily-livered and willing to sell for such a low amount when only last week they said he "was not for sale". At least Bristol City have stuck to their guns about Maynard.
Come on Burnley fans, let's get rid of this weak and penny-pinching bunch of directors.
Good to see loyalty, i'd hate it if someone was trying to sign lallana, but i don't think that there is any need for gloating seeing that two of your players have already joined us
31 Aug 2011 22:06:01
Taxi driver mate just seen pardew leave ground that's it folks bed time
31 Aug 2011 21:53:22
crouch to wolves utter rubbish gone to stoke
31 Aug 2011 21:46:47
I so hope Leicester fall flat on there faces, if they fail to get promoted this season then they will be in a right mess. Sven will be sacked before Xmas, you watch. Dont worry Leicster jose mourinho will be your next manager, then Ronaldo will follow along with Ozil, Benzama, Kaka, he might tempt Messi as well, your be allright.
Lmao! someone needed some gripe water i think, are you ok now sweetie, did your likkle tantrum make you feel better?
Same old garbage from the same old places. Bitter (skint) rivals unhappy that we have money to spend. You don't hear people whinging about Derby signing more players than Leicester, or West Ham who have signed just as many as us. They're just jealous, bitter little rivals.
Shteeve McClaren said he wanted the board to show their ambition - they did, they didn't sign anyone! Mighty Leeds showed their ambition by flogging thier best player and the brilliant businessmen that are Bristol City figured it'd be better to keep their prize assest and let him walk away for free rather than cashing in so they could rebuild their side using the money.
Ok, i can see where the bitterness comes from now, BWAAAAAA!
31 Aug 2011 21:37:27
Qpr only signed 2 decent players Wright-phillips and Barton rest are ordinary. Wigan and Blackburn have better squads.
31 Aug 2011 21:34:06
Breaking news, leeds still haven't signed anyone.
31 Aug 2011 21:21:10
come on stoke!!!!!!!!!1
Who are they playing ? got all channels on and cant find them!
maximus
Perhaps he's just describing how excited some of the publically self-exposing mutants outside the ground got last night. I swear the last time I saw a crowd like that they were chasing Frankenstein's monster with torches.
31 Aug 2011 21:17:57
Kaka to Leicester........................well you started it
31 Aug 2011 21:01:02
Brighton signing billy paynter from leeds but poyet dosent want 2 spend 2 much he also wants an 'impact player. ive heard its a Spanish midfielder whos played in the champions league ive been hearing its vincente of valencia i hope it it is he is a great player

Watford are going to complete a shock move for heidar Helguson and Tommy Smith form Queens Park Rangers both of them for a combined fee of 800k
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wish, problem is that tommy smith has had a stunning start in the PL so why would qpr want to offload him, especially at that price
31 Aug 2011 20:46:29
Saints are buying no one in this window we don't need anyone
Crikey thats a change in tune from when you were going to buy beckford, maynard,bridge and half a dozen others maybe not as big as you think?
31 Aug 2011 20:32:39
Scott Dann going to Blacburn. He said the idian chicken wings was the deal closer! why dann ?? why go to a team that cant even fill there stadium... and had a real poor start to the season. enjoy those wings dann!! :) UTW
31 Aug 2011 20:26:31
James is not going to Norwich, silly talk
31 Aug 2011 20:23:02
31 Aug 2011 15:30:17
Watford hope anyone from anywhere wants to take Scott Loach......Prem....championship....pub and Scout groups all bids will be accepted and Loach has has 12000 fans who would drive him to whereverer he is wanted. Watford happy to play rush goalie to to get rid.
Moron, I think 90% of watford fans support loach, a good keeper who has had a good start to the season and is a very important first team player
31 Aug 2011 20:18:56
Congratulations to Scott Dann on his big move to Blackburn!! Turnin down Stoke and holdin out for a big club turned out well ey? NOT! HaHa meanwhile stoke snap up Crouch Jerome Palacios Woodgate n Upson! And knowing Pulis....a shock signing aswell!
31 Aug 2011 19:54:53
Southampton will not sign anybody fact.All the decent players have rejected them simple reason being that wage structure cannot be broken.So all the big name players will not come.
Saints offered Rodriguez £25k a week but he turned them down. Danny Fox jumped at the chance when he was offered £17k a week. The difference is that Rodriguez plays with his heart while Fox is just an average mercenary.
31 Aug 2011 19:53:13
BATES where has all the money gone, get serious or get lost.
Hi my names is bates , what money ?
if you are really unhappy with me ,come and stay in my hotel !

Rodriguez got no ambition burnley going nowhere
Jay knows he can join a better club than Southampton next summer.
Jay Rod may well be staying but Kilby & Flood are a disgrace for even accepting Southampton's £5 million bid.
They told us fans that they would NOT even consider anything less than £6 million.
Kilby & Flood out NOW - we need new ambitious owners not asset strippers.
Rodriguez no ambition, Burnley going nowhere ... May i just say ha ! You were so confident, not such a big club now are you ! your good start will dip ... SUPER JAY RODRIGUEZ !!
31 Aug 2011 19:27:52
Saints upped there bid to 5m for Jay Rodriguez, the board put the question to Jay and he amazingly turned down the move even though he could have a wage increase ! SUPER JAY RODRIGUEZ.
Fantastic loyalty by Jay if this is true.
31 Aug 2011 19:27:29
Middlesbrough will sign five new players before the deadline I was with the northern echo reporter at the training ground gates all boro executives still inside and cars are in and out but with black windows!
31 Aug 2011 19:15:39
Birmingham City to use the money from Jerome and Dann to sign absolutely no-one.
Coming from every one of us blues fans.
31 Aug 2011 19:13:34
Amazingly Jay Rodriguez himself has turned down a move to Southampton after an offer had been accepted and the player had been consulted.
Nice to see loyalty in football from a player from the area, especially when offered more money.
Fantastic loyalty if this is true. It would send a message to temporarily rich clubs like Leicester and Southampton that money is not everything. Jay Rod probably thinks Saints will be back in admin in a couple of years unable to pay wages like Pompey a couple of years back.
We got our player matey
31 Aug 2011 18:59:00
Crouch is a Wolves player according to the wolf, just been on transfer update. Come on me babbys
31 Aug 2011 18:56:20
Any rumour you hear is untrue and they will actually be going to wolves instead. This is due to the blind panic that has set in amongst Wolves fans now they have realised that the board has sold them short with some two bit story about transfer funds and a stand that had to be rebuilt due to it being done on the cheap the first time around. If there is anyone that they can take on loan until they can spend silly money on them in the next window (Ohara style!) is more than welcome. The bubble is about to burst and the wheels are falling off.... You reap what you sew
Who have we signed on loan you bitter sandwell town fan. no points no ambition
31 Aug 2011 18:50:40
Man Utd have just released a statement denying they have accepted a bid from Chelski for Howard Webb. He is NOT for sale at any price ! He is worth at least 12 points to them a season
Thought they signed webb off newcastle after the north east derby game!
Ha! Best rumour today. Well done!
31 Aug 2011 18:43:44
david james going to norwich so much for you only buy young players
I pity you guys if he does, he's now a reserve in the championship, well past it.
31 Aug 2011 18:40:09
Rodriguez staying at Burnly Fc after rejecting chance to join soton. Who will saints now turn their attentions too? Beckford, Pitman, Macheda or even Sam Vokes?
I am very surprised he turned us down - he must be mad.
31 Aug 2011 18:30:58
Inverness Caledonian Thistle have signed Aiden Chippendale from Huddersfield. The Caley are now going to be serious contenders for the SPL crown this season. In the coming years ICT are going to make Scottish football great again. Forget the Lisbon Lions, the Caley will be making history.
31 Aug 2011 18:00:48
I would not recognise hazard if he hit me but I am sure I have just seen him at the molinuex. Up the wolves
31 Aug 2011 17:53:26
my mate told me that wba want dimitar berbatov
My mate told me that 2+2 is five, but like you he is a wolves fan so it is to be expected!
31 Aug 2011 17:44:52
every1 is turning down spuds and they will not have any strikers lol. but just herd bentner could join them as Arsenal r willing 2 pay spuds 5million to take him.
31 Aug 2011 17:41:54
Nikicia Jelavic will not be signing for Leicester
31 Aug 2011 17:33:28
Blackpool have made a bid for every player in the english league and they've all been see outside Bloomers today
Blackpool did make bids for every player today apart from burnley ones , oyston doesnt employ carp!
there was 2000 players from everywhere at bloomers today think we signed all of them!!!!!!
maximus
31 Aug 2011 16:59:49
don't care who Burnley sign as long as we bring in a top quality centre half coz we desperately need one
31 Aug 2011 16:57:12
Leyton Orient deny signing two Brazilian teenagers.
Orient are in the market for a winger, but will wait for the loan window to open next week.
31 Aug 2011 16:56:44
News just in that everyone at molinuex has gone home, this goes some way to confirming that wolves will not be adding to their disappointing signings this transfer window. FWAW
31 Aug 2011 16:56:13
Manchester United extend their loan deal with Howard Webb
Harold webb is fuming he wanted permanent deal and 120 grand a week cos he knows he was that most influential person in untieds campaign last season
31 Aug 2011 16:25:11
Not so much a rumour but a wish list.
Southampton to sign Liam Ridgwell and Jay Rodriguez today plus sell that muppet Puncheon to anyone who will have him. One team in Hampshire.COYS.
31 Aug 2011 16:24:31
Gyan on his way if sland can get around 10 million for him apparently he was refused a pay rise and wanted to leave b4 mags game. If we sign samaras will be as bad as when we signed flo! Bruce clueless and the one big transfer we all want to see out
31 Aug 2011 16:24:09
Leeds not to sign anyone in transfer window Mr Bates needs the money to furnish his hotel, wont be full when we get relegated. More loan players anyway we will still turn up.
31 Aug 2011 16:23:41
: Interesting bets coming in for Villarreal striker Guiseppe Rossi, who has moved to 4/5 favourite from 7/2 to join Tottenham.
also maybe nothing but reports of cahill staying at the reebok stadium.
31 Aug 2011 16:23:11
Stoke won't sign anyone of any quality . To little to late from Tony pulis :(
31 Aug 2011 16:28:26
Regarding Jay Rodirguez, Saints still haven't upped there bid and Jay has been spotted around Burnley today with various sightings reported on the Burnley Forum. Even if the fee is matched it is down to the player and being from Burnley it is well known he doesn't want to leave.
Our Director said he's not for sale before and won't make himself look an person by letting him go on deadline day with no time to get a replacement.
As for Blackpool being in for him that's utter rubbish. Like Oysten would spend around 7m on a player, i think Blackpool's record signing is under 2m.
31 Aug 2011 16:28:16
ill be suprised if bruce allows wickam
to go anywhere paticullay after
signing him and not to another
premiership club !
31 Aug 2011 16:27:43
A signing similar to van der vaart going to happen at spurs 2nite :). You might hear who it might be early evening.
31 Aug 2011 16:06:11
I don't think jay rodriguez will leave burnley because if he did the club would loose supporters
No player is bigger than any club, and every player has his price. The fans will be very unhappy, but stop supporting their club?? I don't think so.
31 Aug 2011 16:04:19
According to his wiki page Nikicia Jelavic is now a Leicester player can this be confirmed?
31 Aug 2011 15:56:25
Jay Rodriguez will not leave Burnley he loves Burnley
31 Aug 2011 15:30:17
a bit annoyed it hasnt happened yet but charlton will sign matt tubbs and mark marshall sad to say though the writing is on the wall for benson who has only made one appearance and will go for 150k to balance the books.
31 Aug 2011 15:30:17
Watford hope anyone from anywhere wants to take Scott Loach......Prem....championship....pub and Scout groups all bids will be accepted and Loach has has 12000 fans who would drive him to whereverer he is wanted. Watford happy to play rush goalie to to get rid.
Make that 11999. Loach is a good, young promising goalkeeper with a lot of potential. He does make mistakes but name one player in the watford team that does'nt
11998...
Hes probably your best player :S doesnt mean hes good though haha
LUFC!
31 Aug 2011 15:27:46
Make of this what you will but looking at the livecam on the wolves site molineuxpride.co.uk you can see (as at 15:10pm) three men in suits at the bottom of the screen, this maybe nothing or it could be a new player being shown around molineux and being by the new stand this could be possible as this is being used to sell the club pointing out the ambitions. Or could be just be nothing transfer related. Interesting...
Three men in suits in Wolverhampton. One word: bailiff
31 Aug 2011 15:23:17
Sell gyan and spend the cash on bendtner get david bentley on loan then sign that german cisse :)
31 Aug 2011 15:20:09

Burnley have turned into Saints Nursery...Cork, Fox and now Jay Rod...happy days
31 Aug 2011 15:14:09
Why is Scott dann going to Blackburn.. They are going down he's showing a lack of ambition there
It is reported that Wolves had come in for him, the player understandably panicked and signed for the next club he come into contact with. Hope this goes some way to clearing this up
31 Aug 2011 15:13:56
dean leacock isnt a very good centre half i live in the midlands and hes shocking hes one player we dont need. i hope we dont loose any player ambrose or clyne

Cuddly Ken needs to put his hand in his pocket today, after selling Gradel for approximately £5million. We need a Winger, Centre Half, Centre Mid and a Left Back.
- Eric Lichaj can play LB.
- Stephen Quinn/Sammy Clingan at CM.
- Andros Townsend/Liam Feeney/George Boyd.
- Clint Hill/Joseph Yobo
(My personal opinion on Yobo)
Along with a couple of loans once some permanent delas have been completed

Brighton are closing in on the signing of ex-Valencia winger Vicente.
Vicente is available on a free transfer after his Valencia contract expired and he has been chased by a string of clubs.
The former Spain international has received several offers to stay in La Liga, but the 30-year-old is understood to be open to a move to the England.
Brighton are now ready to offer Vicente a move to the Championship with Gus Poyet using his contacts in Spain to set up the move for the winger.
The Seagulls have shown their ambition this summer by beating a host of clubs to the signing Craig Mackail-Smith and Poyet is now hoping to bring Vicente to the Amex Stadium.

KevDarko {Ed001's Note - some are yes, some of our servers can't cope with the traffic they are getting. I have to admit I am shocked as we spent the last couple of months upgrading all our servers. I really thought we would be able to cope, but then we were anticipating less than half the traffic we are actually getting.}}

Lee Bradbury yesterday night stated "We are close to completing a deal on a striker coming in. He is a proven goalscorer and it will be a really big positive " So Bournemouth are expecting a striker to sign at dean court by the end of the deadline at 11pm tonight

One man I've yet to mention today - Yossi Benayoun . The Israel midfielder Tweeted last night that he was due in London to sort out a transfer away from Chelsea , with Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham all reported to be in for him.
31 Aug 2011 09:48:38
*****-Barthy reports-*****
Really surprised no one's come in for Anelka. Chelsea don't need him - they've got Mata, Drogba, Torres, Lakaku."
Maybe his wages are a turn off,who would pay him and players dont take wage cuts.
31 Aug 2011 09:58:51
I bet Scott Dan wishes he had come to Stoke earlier with Jerome. Now Blackburn looks to be his only option so that means he will be back in the Championship next season !
31 Aug 2011 09:50:43
If Stoke are going to splash out $8-10m + on either Bendtner or Crouch then the Arsenal man is a better long term investment as Crouch is 30 and unlikely to give us a return if we sell him on in a few years time and Bendtner will be cheaper.
31 Aug 2011 09:31:55

He has signed for st etienne of france
Hope Robert Snodgrass is next out the door.He is to good to still be playing in that crap league.I hope a EPL club comes in for him in a last gasp deal,WBA STOKE,WIGAN all have been linked with him.
31 Aug 2011 00:01:31
lol, just gone through a load of comments...and this is not really a rumour site nemore...mainly the slagging off of liverpool...as a liverpool supporter i would like to say this is our year! ( same as every other year ) but i doubt it will be i dont think it will be uniteds either.
city a certainly gnna give you a run for your money maybe even win it..but as soon as fergie retires you can shout 19Times as much as you want! but soon be in the same situation as arsenal...well and truely f***ED!
It will never be liverpools season again, you are more likely to get relegated than win the premiership
Liverpool will go 100 years without winning the title
Chelsea will go longer than a 100 years to win the Champions League though, infact they never will.
I think andy beerbarrel carrol looked to slow looks like hes on a pubcrawl
He's scored more goals in less games than Fernando 'Oh it's gone wide' Torres. £50mill - 1 goal, sit down.
