Rafa is all set to clear out all his fringe players as he wants to bring in some real quality. Out will be Fowler (MLS), Gonzalez in a part exchance + cash, zenden free, hypia free, Carson as he does not want to be back up, Kewell if he cannot prove his worth, palleta loan, Pongolle done deal, Bellamy to Villa or Blackburn, Dudek to dutch or German team, Cisse will move to marsielle or another foriegn club. and some others.
Total sales will bring 25m +.
In will be Daniel Alves for 15m as arbi is set to be backup for gaby millito who will join for 10m + gonzalez. Voronin done deal, padelli permanent 2m as he will back up reina, Simao will be signed for 12-15m, Fernando Torres will be enquired about and bought for 22m as he hasn't had the best season at A. Madrid also expect new young players to enter at Anfield.
Anyone else think that David Healy is going to sign for Fulham. Sanchez looks like he is staying and he was quoted as saying that Healy was a world class striker after he scored against Spain and whether the rest of us think that or not (emphasis on the not) lawrie is obviously a fan and lets face it, noboday else is going to go to Fulham
Louis Van Gaal will be named Newcastle manager on Monday. When Newcastle were beaten convincingly by AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA cup, Shepherd was impressed by their structure and their attacking nature.
Sam Allardyce still has the bungs enquiry over his head, plus fresh rumours of new problems. Sven is too expensive as Newcastle are not as well off as some people believe.
Birmingham city will move for
Billy Sharp
Philip Senderos
Wayne Routledge
sean Davis
Robert earnshaw
zat Knight
possibly a new left back, if sadler situation is not resolved, this is not guaranteed info but logic
Craig Bellamy will join Aston Villa.
It has been agreed over the last few weeks.
Wenger believes strongly in his young squad and with many players returning to full fitness over this summer feels his squad only needs minor tinkering to mount a serious title challenge as well as go fo the champions league. The players Wenger is looking at include:
Fabianski (GK) - deal basically done coming in to gradually takeover from big jens!
Micah Richards - Young, pacey, strong and English defender to build an English backbone for the clubs future
Leighton Baines - if Wigan go down he will be available cut price and Wenger sees him fitting into the English backbone of the side
Giles Barnes - If Derby don't gain promotion Barnes will sign as another young English attacking option to score the goals from midfield. Good mates with Super theo Walcott
Frank Ribery - Wenger is a long term admirer and sees Ribery as the man to create and score the goals that pires and ljungberg once did
enger will get rid of dead wood players such as ljungberg, Aliadiere, Senderos, song and poom.
Add to this the return from loan of players such as Bendtner, Muamba and gilbert and arsneal's young squad suddenly has the strength in depth and backbone it needs to go for a title assualt!
Ok, Liverpool are not going to buy Kaka, Torres etc etc. This would be awesome but Rafa only needs two or three quality signings to challenge for the Premiership. All German rumours papers are reporting that we are sweeping for Klose for somewhere around ten million as he has a contract release Clause, Eto'o is just a smoke screen. Rick Parry has told LFC official magazine the "The Liverpool Echo" that 'Simao is definitely not forgotten' and we all know how much Benitez rates him from last years transfer farce. Finally the only other definite player we can see coming is Gabriel Milito who will be subject to a cash plus Gonzalez deal. These are definites from sources which most people know about so no surprises here! please stop writing about how LFC are going to sign half the brazil squad please!
Scotto (Carra no. 1)
Sheffield United don't intend to waste any time if they survive this weekend's do or die game with Wigan.
Expect big money signings before the dust has settled Mr Warnock will not make the same mistakes as before he will swing the axe on bit part players. and a few shocks look a sure thing.
However Stephen Appiah and Dereck Boateng both tough/ Hard as nails no nonsense midfielders aged 24/ 26 and current Ghana National team Players look a solid bet at the bookies 5 million should buy them both.
also Senegal Hard Man Mamadou Niang aged 26 another midfielder and current international playing with Marseille and wanting a move to the UK 2 million . and finally the deal of the day Didier Y Konan 22 year old playing with Rosenborg but wanting a move to the Premiership and rated the best by far to come out of the Ivory Coast.
THE WHOLE SPOTLIGHT WAS ON THE MIDFIELD AT SHEFFIELD LAST YEAR HOW POOR IT WAS. IT WILL BE NEXT YEAR FOR THE BIG TOUGH PLAYERS NO NONSENSE ATTACKING APPROACH.
The only big name striker coming in will be Carlos Tevez (15mil) There will also be Billy Sharp (2.5mil) Simao will also sign (6mil+Cisse) Lastle a central defender for cover will sign-don't know who.
I know you will say we haven't spent much but:
1) that's a good thing-more money in the bank
2) We have got rid of players we don't want-Cisse for someone we do-Simao. If not involved in a swap we probably would not be able to sell him.
3) We have got 2 players who can change a game and get in the first team (not squad)
4) too many changes would mean players would have to get used to how others play hence another poor start.
5) We have enough competition everwhere with certain players happy to be rotated.
Lastly, just want to say, zenden will be offered a new 2 year contract-not that he'll play much
Expect fireworks from speedy next season!
Deco to sign for Inter Milan in the summer. probs about 10 million. fact!
P. S Kaka best player in the world. absolute class.
My friend who is an agent for some very well known players has told me these latest rumours, although none are guaranteed most of them are 90% done deals.
Thierry Henry will be signing for Barca this summer, Joey Barton will sign for Everton for roughly 5.5 mil, Roy Maakay will sign for Celtic in a 3-year-deal and Sunderland are current chasing Celtic's Evander Sno and have reportedly bid £1.2 mil.
Tottenham ins:

outs:
Mido

-
McBride/ Healy/ John/ Runstrom/ Bentdner
I will have a £100 bet with anyone that neither Torres, Villa or Berbatov will leave their respective clubs in the summer. These RUMOURS have a possibility of happening. Manchester United will be looking for a centre forward to replace the Lyon bound Saha although he could be used in the Franck Ribery transfer. Nani the portugese wonderkid has stated that he only wants to join Manchester United or stay at Lisbon. (This is because he wants to hook up with Ronaldo) . Bale the overated Southampton ful back will join Tottenham or Liverpool. Nobody knows the Hargreaves price it's all media speculation so there's a possibility his move to Old Trafford coulkd still happen although in Spain their are rumours Barcelona may put in an offer as they are selling Marquez and Motta. Thierry Henry deal to Barca is supposedly done ut I won't believe it till I see it. More rumours later in the month E. M
ARSENAL RUMOURS-
at the moment Bolton looks a good market for Premiership teams. so expect a sensational return for NICOLAS ANELKA. he will form a fantastic partnership with Henry/ V. Persie. I also think that Wenger should buy a proper midfielder, one who makes runs an SHOOTS, which some AFC players don't know how to. expect a 11 million bid for Manuel Fernandes from Benfica. might happen as previous teams who wanted him have just speculated. don't think eto'o will come. slight chance of Dani Alves, and possibly Torres.
Plymouth Argyle will receive special dispensation to keep their standing area for one more season, with Phase 2 of the ground redevelopment starting in May 2008. The revised plans will give the Pilgrims an all-seater stadium with a capacity of 28,000.
Walsall FC have just re-named their ground from BeScot Stadium to The Banks's Stadium. This means the away end at The Banks's Stadium will be redeveloped into a stand similar to The Floors 2 Go Stand. They will also be filling in the corners
of the Family Stand and the Healthstand with the Floors 2 go stand. This will take the capacity of The Banks's Stadium to around 15,000. The back of the new stand will also feature a advertising hoarding board, visible from the M6.
The team will have some changes :
Out-
Dean Keates - Peterbrough UTD
Chris Westwood - Peterbrough UTD
Trever Benjamin - Free
Tony Bedeau - Torquay UTD
Kris Taylor - Free
Par Cederqvist - Free
Craig Pead - Port Vale
In-
Colin Cameron - Coventry
Kevin Harper - Stoke City
JJ Melligan - Cheltenham Town
Rhys Weston - Port Vale
Michael Ricketts - PNE
Leon Constantine - Port Vale
Leon Constantine should be signing a 3 year Contract with the Saddlers on £3700 per week.
Thierry Henry spotted in a Formby (Merseyside) estate agents, and I don't think it will be the blue half of Liverpool he will be signing for!
Chelsea will add depth to their defense and sign Alex and micah Richards who will become first choice right back. And Crespo may return against his wishes in light of the fact Drogba and Kalou will be going to the African cup of nations. Chelsea will sign another striker as well however this will not be eto'o as he also will be at the cup of nations, with Atletico underachieving again this year expect Torres to move to a bigger club Chelsea is a likely destination.
United will be the busiest in the transfer market with no less than 6 players arriving. Expect to see a move for Steve Sidwell as Hargreaves is overated and very expensive whereas Sidwell would be free and has proved he can cut it in the big league. This will enable Fergie to spend more on the striker position but with so many possibilities it could be anyone but will be 2 from Defoe, eto'o, Tevez, bent, Huntelaar, Martins and Torres, a new right back is required also so expect bids for the best, micah Richards and Dani Alves, however it will be tough as there will be competition for both so there may be a bid for Nelson of Benfica or an ouside chance of Luke young. Gareth Bale will also be brought in for around £6 million and sent out on loan to Sunderland for the season. Nani seems to be a dead cert as he has publically stated his desire to join United and Fergie is a fan so expect a move in the region of £12- 15 million
Out will be going kieran Richardson for around £4 million, Silvestre £5 million, Saha £8 million and Phil Bardsley £1.5 million
United will not sign arjen Robben Chelsea would not sell him too us and he only ever plays half a season as he is always injured, as louis Saha is going to be leaving for that very reason I can't see a move for Robben happening
Liverpool will get Quaresma for 8 million and gonzalez going the other way. berbatov will come too. Kewell will stay sp will Cisse but Bellamy will go to Villa and Kuyt will go to Barcelona.
a new defender will come in possibly Phil jagielka
if Sheffield get relegated or anton ferdiand
Latest targets to interest Brian Laws at Sheffield Wednesday are:
Double swoop for Andy O'Brien and Richard Hughes at Pompey, also a triple swoop for Joe Murphy, Marcus Williams and Billy Sharp at his old club Scunthorpe
The Owls will be given extra cash from Wednesday supremo Dave Allen in a bid for the play-offs next season and therefore Laws will also be looking to re-sign Steve Watson from WBA to provide experience for his current squad
Everton FC
Incoming this summer will firsly be a gamble by David Moyes by signing trouble maker Joey Barton for 5.5m the Scot believes he can sort the but showing scouser out!
Also David Nugent will come in for 5m certain 100% he was at Goodison on saturday to watch the game v Portsmouth he is a true blue!
Manuel Fernandes will sign a 12 month loan deal 100%
Everton will also use the bosman market and sign Newcastles Titus Bramble and Middlesbroughs Stuart Parnaby
outgoing will be:
Wright=Southampton
pistone=Italy
Andy van der Meyde=Holland or Italy
James Beattie=Middlesbrough
Port Vale to sign Marc Bridge-Wilkinson (Bradford), Shane Tudor (Leyton Orient), Justin Miller (Leyton Orient), Marc Richards (Barnsley), Alan Goodall (Rochdale), Clayton Fortune (Leyton Orient)
Mourinho is going to leave Chelsea. Abravomich doesn't want any trouble next season. He will bring in Guus Hiddink.
There will be a mass leaving Chelsea:
Lampard (Barcelona) 8mil
Bridge (Newcastle) 8mil
Sinclair (Liverpool) 6mil
j. Cole (Liverpool) 16mil
Makelele (Madrid) 5mil
In will be coming:
Quaresma (Porto) 14mil
Andrade (deportivo) 11mil
Alves (Sevilla) 17mil
Team: Cech/ Alves/ terry/ Carvalho/ cole/ Quaresma/ Ballack/ essien/ Robben/ Drogba/ Shevchenko
Cudicini/ Andrade/ Mikel/ SWP/ Kalou
Shock I know, but this Chelsea team has a lot more balance to it
Right people. United's summer transfer targets have been identified and their respective clubs have been contacted:
Gareth Bale: An 8 million signing is on his way, but has the option of going back on loan to Southampton if they get promoted. He may still be sent on loan, to another Premiership team, if United keep both Silvestre and Heinze.
Micha Richards and Daniel Alves will be approached, but United will not pay over the odds, especially the 25million quoted for someone who is likely to play second fiddle to Neville for the season. Ferguson would rather bide his time and give the likes of Simpson, Bardsley, Lee a shot at proving they have a future at the Theatre of Dreams.
No centre backs on there way this summer as Pique is on his way back to play support to Vidic and Ferdinand. Wes Brown is going no where, Ferguson wants to keep him for his ability to play competently at right back as well as centre back. This, plus Brown counts as one of the 4 home grown (and 1 of the 8 English trained players) United need to registar for the champions league next season.
Owen Hargreaves will arrive if Bayern accept the 14million pound offer mounted (which includes a further 3 million depending on appearances and trophies won) . if Bayern demand more, then United will look else where, for a player who can play the 'pitbull' role. Gattuso has always been a player Fergi has admirerd, but his chances of coming to Old Trafford seem to have gone. De Rossi wants another season at Roma, and hopes to achieve a Scudetto in Rome. But his admiration for United has hightened since the 7-1 trouncing Roma recieved.
Sidwell is a player Fergi is trying to get, purely because he will be free. Ferguson is willing to offer him 50'000 a week because of this. He sees Sidwell being able to play second string to Scholes and Carrick.
Quresma has been ruled out, Ferguson looked at him at the same time Ronaldo was purchased. He feels that although Ricardo has improved, he lacks the consistancy for a 23yr old, and believes Nani is a better option. Expect a 12million pound purchase going upto 17.5million for Nani. Cristiano Ronaldo has also made Ferguson aware of Motinho, Nani's best friend, as a future Scholes. Ferguson sees him as a cheaper option than Diego of Bremen. Other options include Van der Vaart, but Ferguson has not been overly impressed
Attacking options. Heinze has persuaded Saviola to come to Old Trafford. Ferguson does not want another Van Nistelrooy at United. He believes he needs a forward who can score goals, but also create and move into different positions. With Saviola, may come Carlos Tevez or Fernando Torres. David Villa is also an option. Huntelaar seems to have been ruled out. Berbatov is still first choice however. but a 15million plus Saha offer will be rejected. Saha will be sold to Lyon for 8million. Benni McCarthy to be looked at too. Dong to be sent on loan to an English league team. and if Saviola plus another striker come to United will see Rossi go on loan, to Parma again if they stay up. Otherwise Sunderland or Birmingham are the most likely options.
Potential Squad:
GK: Van der Sar, Foster, Kuzack
DR: Neville, Simpson, Bardsley, O'Shea (could be sold)
DL: Evra, Bale, Heinze/ Silvestre (at least one, if not both will be sold)
DC: Ferdinand, Vidic, Brown, Pique
MR: Ronaldo, Park
ML: Giggs, Nani
MC: Carrick, Scholes, Motinho, Fletcher, Hargreaves

To the guy who posted on here yesterday saying that Craig gordon would sign for Celtic in a 4.5 million deal and Boruc would go for 7 million I have three points on this !
1. do you really think that Boruc is worth more than Gordon ehh naw.
2. why would Craig gordon want to sign for either of the ugly sisters as he states in this interview >
The Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon has dismissed suggestions that he may join Rangers or Celtic. Scotland's No1, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal and Fulham, has been linked with a move to Glasgow but said that would represent "a move sideways". He added: "You win a lot of trophies at Rangers or Celtic but I don't think it would be the same as winning them with Hearts. " so chew on that m8!
3. your club couldn't afford him
oh aye O'Conner is definitely signing for Hearts 100% done deal says he is so desperate to get away from russia and vlad has talked with him twice before about signing for us a fee of around 2.5 m will be agreed all over the media next week ! romanovs mole
Marcus tudgay to sign for Burnley for 400,000 in June.
Rangers FC
Listen up Rangers are no going for many big names so those rumours are crap, but I can confirm we will sign 2 goalkeepers to rival Allan McGregor but they will not be expensive signings. Rangers are going for K. Richardson on loan and Alan Smith for no more than £4 million. We will look to sign Bendter from Arsenal for £1m and if Robbie Fowler leaves Liverpool we will sign him also. Walter Smith confirmed he wants another defender but might not buy a left back as he will keep papac and the last signings will be Scott Brown for £3.5m or we will buy Robbie Savage for experience. The funds will come from selling Rae, Sebo, Sionko, and many clubs want Brahim Hemdani But Smith will consider
Rangers Fc Walter Smiths Blue and White Army !

My cousin is Ledley King and apparantley Preston North End's David Nugent and Simon Whaley were both at the training ground, just 3 days ago. (7/ 5/ 07)
Sheffield United shopping list for the start of next season includes the following all the buys this year will be for kids or players under 25 year old
Kris Commons from Notts forest at 1 million
Dexter Blackstock from QPR 850k
Matty Heath from Leeds 300k
Dickson Etuhu from Norwich 1.2 million
Zat Knight from Fulham 1.5 million
Bit of Arsenal rumours heard from an agent's assistant at the PFA office in Manchester.
Eto'o to join Arsenal late this summer for about £23m + Clichey (Who Barca think will be immense in la liga) . Barca are being forced to sell after a major and irreconsilable falling out with Rijkard. United are also interested (and willing to outbid) but Eto'o simply does not want to move to the city.
Arsenal to sign Leighton Baines for £4.5m to replace Clichey. Other than the Polish keeper, these will be Arsenal's only major summer signings due to finances.
Kroenke takeover will happen suddenly and he will put up around £35m to sweeten the deal but it's unlikely that the deal will be complete before the window closes. More signings to follow in January but unlikely to be anyone major unless Samir Nasri becomes available.
United to grab Berbatov for £20m, Nani for £14m and Torres in January. Hargreaves will not be joining them due to a long term complication with his recent injury that Bayern have tried to disguise.
=v=1
Your Luton Town rumours this season have been 0 from about 62. You are evidently deluded .
FACT ! Leon Barnett is off to Reading, in a player + cash deal, or even a squad player season long loan.
Other players leaving Luton are Peter Holmes, Danny Stevens, Shaun Ross and Michael Leary.
Players joining LFC:
-Mata (200k)
-Leto (2mil)
-Voronin (free)
-g&d. Milito (24mil)
-Tevez (13mil)
-Simao (6mil+Cisse)
My brother is friends with Ipswich's Shane Supple
who claims that he has been approached about a possible move to Vicarage Road.
Personally not a bad move for Watford, always reckoned that Shane had huge Potential, quite similar to a Shay Given in his Blackburn days
Spurs plan a £7m raid for Reading and England B left back Nicky Shorey.
Shorey who only recently signed a new deal at Reading signed for Reading from Leyton Orient for 25k under Alan Pardew back in the old 2nd division.
Well it looks like (shooter) hasn't been taking his medication again? so maybe he will understand this.
Robie Keane will not sign for Selik! no chance.
Scott Brown Has signed for Rangers 3.5 Mill
Joey Barton will sign for Everton 5.5 Mil
any way enough of the crazy selik rumour and back down to earth. Walter Smith is at present shoring up the 1st team squad as the signings of
JC Darchiville, Alan gow, Kirk Broadfoot and Webster are all squad players, we sign another 6 players with the same going the other way. the six in are as follows
Scott Brown as stated 3.5 mil
Danny Koevermans 1mil plus Buffel
Kingston - 1 mil
robbie Nielson 500k
and like I stated weeks ago the other 2 are major signings that will shock us all, Walter wouldn't come back to be second best would he?
Paul Ince will not even be considered as Manager at Leicester. Milan Mandaric will not risk his millions on an unproven manager who only narrowly avoided relegation to the nationwide conference with Macclesfield. Expect Worthington or Coleman to be named Manager in the next fortnight
