Man City News. . . . . .
Regarding the post. . . Just to get a few things straight! There is no way Man City will sign Vidic even if they paid 100 million. and Fergie would never sell. . .
Fact One. Fergies words he would never sell Madrid a Virus and then sold Ronaldo for 80Mill
Fact Two. Tevez would never sign for Man City. He Did
Fact Three. Vidic would never sign for CITY. . Lets See
I must point out the transfer system is never straight forward. if ANY CLUB places an offer for a player it's usual the the player has indicated to the BUYING club he's interested in a move OR he's trying to IMPROVE his contract with the current club, just part of the game. . . . .

Pocket Dynamo
To the person that said robert snodgrass was going to newcastle well am very close to him and talk quite often on the phone to him and he said he is not moving because he has just singed a new contract.
Simeon Jackson (Gillingham)is likely to move to a Prem club before end of window especially after his recent hat–trick . West Ham , Fulham or Portsmouth could com in for him , he is an exiting player , not the new Jermain Defoe has potential to be better than Defoe .
Here are some very reliable top 3 rumours:
Liverpool ins: Lee Cattermole(wigan) 10m
Michael Turner(hull) 8m
outs: Dossena(napoli) 6m
Digraceful french keeper(who ever will take him) and a few youngsters out on loan.
Man U ins: Ronaldinho(Rooney said he wanted to play alongside him so ferguson will make an offer of 10–15 million for him)
outs: John O" Shea(everton)6m
Afew youngsters out on loan(Gibson etc.)
Chelsea ins:Pirlo(milan)12m
Vucinic(roma)10m
outs:Kalou(arsenal)7m
Deco(inter milan)8m
red 4 life
Fingers crossed!
We hope Wenger is signing Hangeland.
Gallas is a left back and never a centre back. .Chelsea realised this.
Djorou (like Senderos)is slow and ponderous not quick thinking and agile.
Jury's out on the new Guy but I'm sure he'll be adequate WHEN he aclimatizes.
Pre season our defence has been woeful as usual.
I hope AW overcomes his pride!
The Shropshire Gooner!
To the guy who said that he was talking to torres t a hotel i would just like back that up as i know someone who saw him at a hotel on friday.
liverpool ins
Silva 18m 80% chance
catermole 10m 40% chance
turner 8m 90% chance
liverpool outs
dossena 5m 90% chance
If liverpool complete the takeoverthere will be either aguro or villa in january maybe both.

Notts County will conclude their recent purchasing spree, when they sign midfielder Jean–Paul Kalala on a free transfer this Friday.
In response to "The Doctor"
Mike Ashley's reign has been a complete and utter nightmare. He setup a very bizzare management system at the club that took power away from the actual manager of the team, and just to point out to yourself not all toon fans wanted Keegan to return as we feared he'd walk away once the going got tough.
Yes alot of us did want Shearer installed, he's someone us fans can relate to and deeply cares for the team, but then again he wasn't every fans first choice (so we can't all be tarred with the same brush). But the rot had set in long before Shearer took the managers seat, you can't have players signed behind a managers back for a start! Then there's the whole thing about every player being up for sale, now that's bound to get players backs up and think why the hell should they bother trying to play for a club that clearly wants rid of them! And for not having a manager for the time we have, that's just beyond a joke.
Ask yourself this The Doctor, how would you feel with Mike Ashley being the owner of your team and inflicting this nightmare on you? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be trying to defend him if the shoe was on the other foot.
Still a sad time for a Newcastle fan, but lets hope he sells up instead of staying!
MANCHESTER UTD NEWS !!!!

After norwich citys dismal opener to the seasion manager bryan gunn has pulled a few strings with the board and his close pal alex ferguson has offered to lend promising defender fabio till january
this is not a rumour

Reports from inside Leicester City suggest that 25 year old Indian stirker Sunil Chetri, who currently plays for Dempo SC in the I–League, is set to complete a £600,000 move this week. Despite his lack of goals at domestic level Chetri has a good international record and Pearson sees him as the perfect foil for Steve Howard. Assuming that work–permit issues are resolved the deal should be concluded by Thursday.

Peoples favorite the talented and how shall i say it: missunderstood?, Joey Barton is coming back to the Premiership, congratulations Blackburn fans big sam wants to sign him again, he see a raw talent that he can tame, good luck on that one big sam.
man utd locked in talks with madrid for Wesley Sniejder. as he can play any where in midfield also he is a deadball specialist, which man utd are missing now that portugeese man left, i forget his name/.

Heard some interesting news in the last hour (23:48), Liverpool are in talks with Blackburn Rovers about the possible signing on Morten Gamst Pederson, heard it here first!!
The Black Hat
I have heard some surprising news coming out of Anfield, firstly Rafa has made an offer for Anton Ferdinand. This news could go public in the next few days because of Rafa’s pursuit of M Turner. Brown of Hull feels that Turner will leave due to Liverpool’s long term admiration of Turner but is holding out for the best price and Rafa is now trying to play the cool card by showing major interest in another player.
Liverpool have also made a bid for Arjen Robben and R van der Vaart, the van der Vaart angle is to try to persuade O Neil to be reasonable about Ashley Young, with the price again being the main obstacle.
Wenger wants Vieira to take over with Bergkamp and Adams on the staff, this is common knowledge around the emirates, he's stated this himself over the past few years, Henry will come back in some capacity.
Wenger will then head upstairs to oversee the continued development of the team. just like SAF will do when Murinho takes over next year.
Wenger has been lining up some of europes top talents for next year already if his current crop don't produce this year.
Joe Hart will come in to replace Alumunia
Sagan will stay with Traore switching sides, he did it for pompey.
Richards will replace Gallas
Sakho will replace Djourou with Vermaelen as backup depending on how he fairs this year.
Clichy will stay on with Gibbs as backup.
Nasri will have Gourcuff to contend with, if wenger gets him before he retires.
Cesc if he leaves will be replaced by either Arda Turan or JW if he comes good this season, and Merida will be back from loan.
Song will play second fiddle to Matuidi
On the left Vela will be first choice, with Nuri Sahin as backup.
up front there will be no major changes, with Theo playing a strikers role along side Arshavin RVP Bentdner and Eduardo
To who said Bob Malcolm to Rangers: he has already moved from Motherwell to the "Rangers of Australia" Brisbane Roar.
To who said Darren Mackie to Rangers:
1. He is crap
2. Rangers have loads of strikers already – we already have one dud striker in Andrius Velicka
3. We don't have any money at the moment – of course that will all change when Celtic get thrashed by Arsenal.
When that happens, Rangers will bring in James McArthur from Hamilton, possibly Chris Brunt from West Brom and possibly Jack Wilshere on loan from Arsenal.
Duff rumoured to be going to a premiership club right?
Maybe West HAm, Sunderland, Aston Villa, Everton, right?
Wrong, story is he's had tentative talks with a club with a Spanish manager with whom he's being linked before.
6 Million and a good loan arrangement or two.
Rafa, the Heart of Discretion. . .
To the person who wrote this
RANGERS NEWS
Heard from a good mate of mine inside ibrox AMCC that WS is in intense negotiations with Motherwell over the return of the one and only BOB MALCOLM this is to replace Ferguson and add a bit of steel to the midfield as none of the current crop offer it.
Bob Malcom left Motherwell when his contract ran out
happy to help
WEst ham news here
West ham are gonna really struggle for goals this season if they can't find a sutible striker
Possible players in
LucaToni–Loan with option to buy. I dno how much chance of this happening.
EidurGudjohnson–i believe if it is going to happen it will need to be the same sort of deal as the Lucatoni one would be,
MarioBalotelli–LOAN This is a possible one as he would gain neccassary experience at a high level an then he could return to inter to be a star.
These are the only names i have really heard and maybe they will happen. West ham till i die :P
My friend from home goes to uni in Sheffield (Hallam) and does Sports Science. He works at Sheff United. Clearly clubs do except students.
Silva to Man United done deal.
Expect Liverpool to bring in a surprise striker and ship out either Voronin (Hull) or N'Gog (Burnley) on loan.
Never miss a rumour on here, thought it was about time to add one of my own, there will be big hype soon of liverpool either signing david villa or david silva, noone will know until the last minute which one has been signed, it will be silva.
Also, may sound crazy, but expect Rafa to make a bid for Sidwell, i hate it when people say this, but you actually did hear this one first.
How certain are you that Manchester United will sign David Silva?
Why do you say firmly that Manchester United Will not sign Sergio Aguero?
Please i need answers and more Manchester United Transfer news. You guys are doing a good job and you need to keep it up.
LIVERPOOL – don't be surprised to see Rafa go for David Bentley – the kid has talent – he was awesome two years ago at Rovers. Rafa can turn his career around. Only stumbling block would be the fee. He is English, good on the dead ball and a perfect squad player. Good cover for Kuyt if he has to move infield to cover Stevie or Torres.
((( AFC Bulletin )))
Fulham defender Hangeland is unlikey 2 move 2 Arsenal as Fulham want 15m and AW won't pay that much, AW may move 4 BORO defender Wheater . AW is also unlikley 2 sign INTER player Viera as AW has said so . Celtic , WBA or Reading 2 take AFC youngster Jay Simpson on loan 4 the season . Stuttgart defender Serdar Tasci will not be moving 2 AFC or any other club as he's 2 sign a new deal 2 stay at Stuttgart . Its heard AW is looking 4 a possable replacement 4 GK Fabianski .
Breaking news out of upton park
I Heard From A VERY Reliable Source West Ham Are Set To Make A Double Signing Of RUDD VAN NISTELROY & LUCA TONI For A Combined Fee Of 8 Million With Matthew Upson Heading To Money Bags City For Around 14 Million Zola Stil Has Some Cash To Spend On A Decent Midfield Player Perhaps Robben From Real Madrid.
COME ON YOU IRONS!!!!!
In response to. .
He will also sign the following in the next few days:
Whitbread
Onyewu
Shorey
Would this be the Onyewu who signed for AC Milan at the start of the transfer window after the confed cup!!!

Bob Malcolm is currently playing for Brisbane Roar in Australia's 'A' League. He signed a one year contract with them at the end of July 2009. It is therefore extremely unlikely that Motherwell would have ANY input to any negotiations involving his transfer to Rangers or to anyone else. Check FACTS before typing!!
>
ARSENAL
Arsene Wenger will make 2 signings before the window closes. Personally I like the new 4–3–3 formation with BENDTNER in the wing and the current squad looks good and hopefully BARCA don't come in and start bing for FABREGAS again. IFFF we don't make anymore signings we are still going to raise hell!!! onto rumours:
INS: MAROUANE CHAMAKH– 8 million or 10
SAKHO or HANGELAND or NALDO
MEXES??? (HUGE MAYBE!! have good sources on this move)
OUT: VELA– loan to FULHAM (almost a certain because it might be part of HANGELAND deal or because CHAMAKH came in)
SENDEROS– 6 million to EVERTON
in ARSENE """I""" TRUST
Reading FC
Can you give me any news on reading on who is coming in, i know roughly who may go, but im desperate to see new players!
Benitez has 20mil left to spend on players. Benitez wants Matias de Federico (8mil) Michael Turner (8mil) and Alvaro Negredo on loan with a view to a permenant deal next summer for 11mil.
If a club comes in with an offer for Albert Riera for around 10mil, Liverpool will scrap moves for Federico and instead sign David Silva for 21mil.
Dossena will stay, Benitez feels he may cement the left back position, he has looked solid in pre season.
If Turner arrives, Kelly will be allowed to go out on loan.
Just a little something i have been told by the players dad that Ashley Chambers from leicester city will be making a season long loan from leicester to crystal palace leicester hold Chambers under high regard and think that he one for the future therefore do not wanna sell but are willing to loan him out
Too the sad person who said
"Billy Davies will play striker Dele Adebola at centre back against Bradford if the Chambers appeal is unsuccessful. He was playing there in training this morning.
He will also sign the following in the next few days:
Whitbread
Onyewu
Shorey
"
please check your facts before posting.
ONYEWU has only just signed for A.C.Milan, so why would he sign for Forest.
WHITEHEAD again has only just joined Stoke City.
Stop playing old versions of championship manager and only post facts.
Matthew Spring and Matthew Oakley were seen at meadow lane this morning according to my source who works at ML
both were there with SGE and IM
Leicester are about to raid CD Tenerife for their star striker Nino
The recently promoted spanish club may be in for some financial problems after some rather questionable dealings over the past few season have been brought to light recently and this may mean that they could be tempted to part with their star player as money would become tight and they have already signed some quality players that could fill the void left by Nino.
Leicester City will fund the near £2 million move with money raised from the sale of Joe Mattock
To the person who posted. . .
"Breaking News. . . . . .
Cesc Fabregas Arsenal to Barcelona 25Mill
Yaya Toure Barcelona to Man City 45Mill
David Villa Velencia to Barcelona 20Mill"
your valuations for fabregas and villa seem shy of around £20–£30 mill per player
iv said for weeks that i believe arsenal will sell fabregas and it seems that barca certainly want him according to reports in the press. i think a bid of £50 mill will be made and arsenal will gladly accept. 100% profit remeber!!!
but don't expect the money to be used. the money will be set aside as everyone knows as wenger has stated we need to sell a top player each year to cover costs of the stadium. £50 mill will cover these costs for 3–4 seasons so any other monies accumulated on the way will be a genuine transfer kitty. a certain jack wilshire will then be handed the number 10 shirt (yes i know gallas has it at the mo) as wilshire will be the new bergkamp!!! FACT
paul the gooner
Notts County are very close to a fantastic double swoop for Kesper Schmeichal and matthew Spring boith on season loans
Schmeichal will be brought in to replace current keeper russell hoult after he dropped down the pecking order at city and spring will be brought in after he fell out with charlton boss phil parkinson.
Mancienne to join Wolves 0n season long loan before season kicks off, he was not named in the Chelsea squad for the charity shield hence his move north. .
Also Alan Smith is being eyed by Wolves and talks are to commence this week
Agree with the person who said Arsene wenger wants to prove his point to the world without spending money, but i don't think he should leave ASAP.
Wenger couldnt leave a squad he built over 2 years and if he did, everyone else would too, because every player wants to play for wenger, not Arsenal.
Everton F.C. News
This season is the 1 we push 4 that top 4 finish. Only Chelsea out of top 4 haven't weakend there team which showed in community cup. Not sayin ManU won't finish 4 but there 1st team seems 2 be all they got cos there subs are either over the hill or not prem experienced. Liverpool guna really struggle with the team they have if Gerrard or Torres get injured and will miss Alonso. Arsenal have sold Ade and Toure to City. Dont think they will miss Ade but Toure will be missed. Now i no Everton haven't made any major singings but we haven't lost any big names either. The only player that cud still leave is Lescott but looks like City have lost out (unless a bid above £25mill is made) so they will now bid 4 Upson at £10–£12 mill. City av spent loads but that don't gaurentee success and i and many others think that Sparky will be 1 of the 1st managers to loose his job this season if they don't get off 2 a flyer. They have to gel as a team and quick. Anyways the players Moyes and his staff are lookin at are
Senderos £4mill (Arenal want 6 but in last year of contract so to all you out there sayin we will sign him on loan never guna happen)
M Turner £8mill (only if Lescott goes)
Hutton £7mill
Rasmus Elm £4mill
S. Hunt £3mill
Yebda £3mill
Defour £12mill (if this 1 happens will be on deadline day just like Fellaini deal)
M Sissoko Loan
V Obinna £4mill
Not all of these will happen but there will be 2–3 signed off this list. And with the signin of Jo and the return of the Yak, Arteta and Jags we shud be in 4 a great season in the league and Europe. COYB
1 True Blue
Any news on Michael Turner going to Liverpool??
breaking news
first time post leeds are in talks with yeading for the signing of wonderkid mark doyle for a fee of around 10 grand.
also man u fans u won't sign no1 else nor will chelsea not sure about liverpool arsenal will sign 2 players possibly brende and chamkh please people stop posting nonsense its pathetic to read
lots of love aw96
To "The Big Cheese" who said about Aquilani: £17m was given to Roma upfront (they need the cash as they would £30m in the red due to missing out on the champions league this year) plus £2m signing on fee.
Caught spoofing again – Roma released the nature of the deal, 5M was paid up front with another 5M payable in January.
now who is sad
LFC do have an accounts department based at Anfield! KPMG actually look after their Accounts from a fiscal / tax/ VAT point of view and not the day to day running of the club. . so your missus as you referred to her would have known that. . . as KPMG would be audited like LFC are for the statement of accounts each year!!
Now for a rumour that I have heard from several people about possible signings are there will be a CB coming in and t will be one of Shawcross or Turner whichever Rafa can get for the cheapest.
Negrado is seriously being considered on loan for a season with the transfer fee set at €12–15 million dependent on appearances for LFC in 2009/2010 season. . so the less appearances the price reduces!
To the rather sad individual who wrote the following.
Lpool will bid for villa and valbuana of marseille before transfer window closes
there is plenty of cash to spend i work in the accounts dept.
there was going to be an offer for silva made early in the window but the whole alonso thing came up, this deal has given the club enough cash for villa and the fact aquilani only cost 4.25 up front has also meant there will be spare cash for the attacking frenchman
purchases are also not dependant on any more players leaving, the money raised from departures will be used in jan with a huge shock coming to anfield if things don't go to plan for his current club.
well clearly you don't work in the accounts Dept at LFC, because LFC DONT have an accounts Dept.So please don't come on here telling lies.Liverpool FC's accounting and financial affairs are all carried out by a firm of accountants called KPMG.I know because my Mrs works for them and personally holds the caseload for 2 premiership club's.
As a genuine rumours I am reliably informed that Sunderland are looking to bring in Distin and prelimanary work as been done to bring in Tuncay from Middlesborough
Dangerous times at Anfield with regards to Rafael Benitez.
Someone has leaked the problems at Liverpool, and Benitez is set to Kop it so to speak.
George Gillett and Tom Hicks are in negotiations with RBS/Wachovia, and a Middle Eastern consortium, believed to be of Qatar and Saudi investors. If these talks break down, and the season does not start well, Rafa is in trouble, and both owners are willing to spend big to sack him ASAP regardless of the fans reaction. Both of them need a YES man if they want to keep the club. Things have changed from previous talks when contracts were signed.
And the worst thing is that a certain former manager who was talked about before by the owners is on the agenda. Jurgen Klinsmann.
West ham

luca toni=10m
damian duff=3.5m
Cristiano Zanetti = 13m

upson 9m + ricards man city

savio = loan ac millan
reaid = 4.5 wolves as the maniger rates him highly
spence = loan haninberg
That is all a load of rubbish!
Luca Toni is 32 and is nowhere near worth 10m, 3m at best.
Cristiano Zanetti is also 32, so how the hell you can quote 13m is beyond me!
Van der Vaart 20m, you really think West Ham have all this money to spend?!
I take it you mean Kieron Dyer and Kyle Reid? Kyle Reid not only left West Ham for free when his contract ran out, but has since joined Sheffield United!
Haninberg??? Maniger??? All the errors are his/hers, no mine!

Liverpool Breaking News
Villa has agreed a contract at 90k a week.
Julio Baptista and Javier Arizmendi could be brought in as cover.
Rafa wants some PL experience. Dont rule out Henry or Luis Garcia Milan Baros returns.
Defender needed. Roberto Ayala and free transfer Ivan Helguera possibilities. Also C Davies or Turner.
RUMOURS
arsenal – m diarra, lassana diarra, Van der vaart
man u – silva

everton – moutinho k nolan
wolves – nicky butt macheda
SG
To the person who said Arsenal to get Adriano.
He left Inter to return to Brazil with Flamengo in may. Homesick. Very unlikely.
Roman Pavlyachenko – Liverpool – 7m
here first
Benitez looking to bring in English talent in particular Cattlemole, Turner and Shawcross.
It would also appear that he is looking attacking midfielders Valbuena, Silva and Honda.
Wouldnt rule out a bid for a striker as back up as well.
Most of Rafa`s talk about his budget is BS and just trying to pull the wool over other managers eyes so they don't raise prices for players he is interested in and hopefully give him a clear run at them in particular Silva.
Im the one who wrote "DIC(Dubai International Capital) are in talks with Tom Hicks and George Gillet about purchasing Liverpool , though talks are only at an early stage." And yes i can give a little more info , Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum knows that Gillett and Hicks are in a total mess as you may have noticed the refinancing has not been made offical by the club that's because the talks are ongoing , DIC are planning a 350m and are confident it will be accepted.
Matias De Federico the young argentine forward will join liverpool next week for 8 million euros plus future incentives also joining will be michael turner from hull city the fee will be 8 million pounds plus ukraine striker andrey voronin.
Leicester City are set to make a 1.5 million bid for Simeon Jackson of Gillingham. Also Paul Benson could be on his way from Dagenham and Redbridge. Lastly Ryan Shotton is set to sign on loan for Leicester from Stoke.
Billy Davies will play striker Dele Adebola at centre back against Bradford if the Chambers appeal is unsuccessful. He was playing there in training this morning.
He will also sign the following in the next few days:
Whitbread
Onyewu
Shorey
To the guy who said west ham to sign van der vaart 20 mil toni 10 mil cristiano zanetti 13 mil what are u on mate west ham have no money. They are looking to sell the club as quick as possible so there not gonaa pump in 40 odd mil. west ham might sign toni its still on whether tootenham stick there noses in. Gudjonson can't see it personally. balotelli is a maybe but if it happens it will be last minute. I hope west ham get a striker cause they will be in trouble if they dont.
Cant help but notice Liverpool still do not have a player allocated the No 7 shirt, a shirt that should be reserved for legends after recent owners of it (Kewell in particular)my source tells me that the next proud owner will be David Villa but there will be plenty of wheeling and dealing at Liverpool before the transfer can go ahead because Rafa has the funds for transfers but needs to reduce the wage bill by shipping out the deadwood in the squad first.Continental players have one eye on the new 50p tax rate and are chasing higher gross salaries to offset the tax hike before choosing there next move.REDBEN
Manachester United are hot on the trail of Ricardo Quaresma,
Inter are unlikely to accept another loan so a £10 million deal looks on the cards.
Matthew Spring is leaving charlton to join Notts County for 200,000 after a fall out with phil parkinson
Heard from a very reliable source at Bury that Leicester City are set to sign Bury striker Andy Bishop on a three year deal for a reported 300k – 600k. Bury rejected two bids from Leicester and have refuse two bids from a league 1 and another Championship club however the third bid from the Foxes was said to be too good to refuse. Bishop is heading down to the Walkers on Tuesday or Wednesday for a medical and may make his debut at Portman Road on Saturday. Bishop will team up with former Bury team mate Nicky Adams. Bury are said to be sad to lose Bishop however they admit it was inevitable they were going to lose him after missing out on promotion last term.
As there are many rumours flying round about liverpool fc i will like to logically anylise the financial situation. Cast Your minds back to the beggining of the transfer season. Rumours of rafa getting the usual 20m budget. this seemed likely. But due to the financial issues Rafa has been forced to not push through on a work permit for leto and sell. He has also sold arbeloa, alonso, and some more youth just to balance the books. After signing Aquilani Rafa has finnaly broke even. Liverpools balance now = about £0
But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Due to the re–financing loan the americans have some how got, they have cash free'd up and Rafa, finally, will have the 20m available to use. His Priority is Center Back. Turner, as we all know, is his priority and The shawcross rumour i have no belief in as it has come out of the sun, a newspaper no scouser should take notice too. A bid for Turner of 10m will be accepted. This leaves Rafa with 10m. His spending is likely to end there. A bid for a winger or striker may be launched. Negredo rumoured alot and Rafa has shown his admiration. More than likely the 10m will be saved for January where dossena and vornin will be offloaded and a Top Class winger/striker will come in then. Should be a good season. J496

Right people, I'm not Becks' brother or Cristiano Ronaldo's friend of a friend. I'm just here to give you some transfers that my sources think will happen.
>> Arsenal will conclude a deal with Bordeaux's Marouane Chamakh, aswell as signing in demand Moussa Sissoko from Toulouse for fees of £10,000,000 and 15,000,000 respectively aswell as signing Joleon Lescott from Everton for £16,000,000 plus Senderos, this is because Moyes does not want to sell to City.
No more big name players will leave Arsenal but expect some loan deals to happen for their youngsters. Expect Wilshere to play alot this season aswell.
>> Manchester United will seal a deal for David Silva in the next 2 weeks for a fee of £22,000,000. United will not move for Aguero, Ribery etc. who people seem to think will sign for United. Fergie see's Silva value for money but £40,000,000 plus for Ribery and Aguero, just not going to happen.
Manchester City enquired about Vidic last week but United turned them down. It won't happen anyway, close people to Vida say if he left United (a big IF) it would only be for a team in Spain.
>> Liverpool will sign a striker to play 2nd fiddle to Torres before the window shuts, targets Rafa has been looking at are Alvaro Negredo, Bojan on loan from Barca or a shcok move for Ruud van Nistelrooy.
David N'Gog will be the only play to leave the reds, only on loan though to Barnsley.
>> Chelsea will not make a move for anyone else this summer, Ancelotti thinks the squad is strong enough to perform on all fronts this year.
Deco will get his wish to join Mourinho at Inter in a £4,000,000 deal but Ricardo Carvalho will stay.
>> After all there big spending already this summer, Real have not finished. Expect a move for Ajax winger Luis Suarez for a fee in the region of £20,000,000 to happen, tis will be there final signing.
Sneijder will join Inter on loan with a view to buy, Negredo may join Liverpool or another Spanish team, van Nistelrooy will either again join Liverpool or a move to Bordeaux to replace Arsenal bound Chamakh. Mahamadou Diarra will move to Marseille for £5,000,000.
Thanks for reading, I'll report back soon when I have some more rumours!
To the person who posted this:
"A mate of mine from uni who is doing Sports Science is on a physio placement at Liverpool and he bumped into Martin Petrov at their training complex. Apparently the wheels are in motion for him to make a £6 mil move from Man City. City's midlfeild is now far to congested so he is the one to go in order to make some room. You heard it here first!!!!"
thats 100% not true, football clubs do NOT take sports science/sports therapy/physio students on placement as it means a member of the backroom team has to dedicate too much time to the student and not the team. . believe me i have tried to get myself a placement enough times!
Marky here – some news for bristol city fans, got it on good authority that willo flood is to sign a two year deal for us on thursday.
he's very unhappy at celtic and wants a move – could be just the sort of midfield talisman we need!
