Loan to Buy subject to fitness. Rednapp's interest in taking Anelka to QPR make Zamora's return to Brighton more likely.

Lucas Biglia and Dieumerci Mbokani of Anderlecht are targets of Norwich and are set to sign in January. Both players have aspirations of playing in the Premier League and Norwich are a club going in the right direction.
Norwich couldnt afford one of them let alone both
Fed up with norwich,nicking our players on cheap,first doug crofts,then elliot bennet. you will not get cms or bridcup. cms needs a fellow striker of murrey standard ,then watch him score.charlie austin another brighton target. lay off norwich . the seagulls are no longer a selling club.a great chairman sees to that.go away norwich .chris houghton ,relegation .yo yo boys

Brighton are chasing a new striker after their recent barren run in front of goal. Rumour has it they are interested in a potential loan deal for out-of-favour Danny Graham at Swansea and Jermaine Beckford from Leicester. Poyet worked with Beckford during his time at Leeds and Graham's links with Orlandi and Dobbie (now at Brighton) may sway him to a move on the South Coast too.
Can't see a loan for graham
Your in the market for a new striker as CMS will be leaving in january.
also beckford has already played for 2 clubs this season so id rule him out
Every day another striker linked to Brighton. If Beckford stays on loan it will be at Huddersfield. Think it would have to be a permanent deal for him to go anywhere else.

Southampton looking to sign Paul Robinson and Scott dann for a combined 8 million from Blackburn. Rovers are keen to reduce their wage bill as promotion is looking unlikely.
No way. Too old, and not worth that sort of money.
Good joke. You are not going to offload your old players who are no longer good enough for the Premiership onto Southampton especially not for that much.
21 Dec 2012 13:34:37
Stewart downing is in line for surprise 6 month loan deal until the end of the season from Liverpool to reading as bate for the permanent signing of Alex pearce from reading to Liverpool at the end of the loan Liverpool will look to of load permanently in the summer as they feel they will get a better price then than in Jan for downing

The Tractor Boy
You can have them with pleasure!
I doubt Sophie Ellis Bextor will do them much good.
21 Dec 2012 13:23:30
the royals will try and persuade peter whittingham of cardiff to join them in january and will make a 3 million pound bid brian mcdermott is known to be a big admirer of the left sided player
There's no chance that Whittingham will go anywhere. Malky sees him as a key man in his promotion push
Leave a team that could be going up for one that could be going down ? Very doubtful.
Redbird
3 million you having a laugh try doubling that and you're still wasting you're time....he's staying with the bluebirds ........................stokebluebird

OUTSIDE CHANCE
Liam Bridcutt - Norwich - £4.2m
Bruno Saltor - Various Interest - £3m
Will Buckley - Various Interest - £3m
We shall see how definate a signing Wood is in Jan?
Well BHA fans don't be surprised if Wood has to go back to WBA until the summer as cover! & then you still wont get him!
You clearly do not know anything about Brighton Football Club! Some of these are ridiculous!! Harley at 3.2 million is laughable. We would let him go for free. Harley also worth more than Buckley is insane. 4.2 for Bridcutt.... as good as he is i do not think so
Will Buckley, if he goes will go for a lot more than £3m. Harley will go for much less than £3.2m. Would love it if we signed Wood
All I can say is ... what a load of tosh
Glenn Murray left brighton for Palace why would he leave a better club where he is happy for a worse club, not possible! Being honest!
21 Dec 2012 12:09:28
West ham to take highly rated
OSVALDO ALONSO on loan as a
defensive midfield cover for Mohammed
Diame. Hammers also expected to tie up Loan deal for Marouanne Chamakh with Hammers expected to cut there losses and let
Andy Carroll return to Liverpool in January.#
This frees up funds to bring in Nicolas
Anelka and Jason Puncheon
Jason Puncheon will not move anywhere in January.

21 Dec 2012 11:24:45

21 Dec 2012 10:19:12
reading fc are to use the january window to build a championship team to come straight back up expect gorks guthrie harte federici hunt to be sold in jan with lee camp curtis davis charlie austin coming in on a permanent basis with tom huddlestone coming in on loan
You make coming straight back up sound easy. Better ask Woves, Bolton and Blackburn fans if they agree.
Redbird.
If we are building a championship team then why get rid of last seasons best championship CB, LB and GK?
Hunt is going nowhere, way too valuable for the dressing room
Concentrating on staying In PL first is more clever than already building for champ.
But they are trying to stay in the premier league
Never mind Hunt being valuable in the dressing, he's too valuable on the pitch
Harte is passed it, Federici is poor. Get rid of those 2, Leigertwood and Church

Cheltenham will add Chris Robertson from Preston and Marvin Johnson from Kidderminster to the squad next month/ Meanwhile midfielder Darren Carter has rejected offers from Walsall and Rotherham to stay with the Rubies.
I support non of the clubs involved. But 100% Chris Robinson is NOT going to Cheltenham. May be shopping or Cheltenham Races but NOT the FC.
What about Chris Robertson?
Who I am sorry ! Yes Robertson is the player who will NOT be going to Cheltenham.
Rotherham are not after any more midfielders we hope to complete signing of Lee Frecklington (Peterborough) then we are targeting Strikers, Darren Carter not even on Rotherham's radar
According to Carter he turned down Walsall and Rotherham don't see why he is lying.
Cheltenham have money and probable league one football next season. No reason why Robertson would not join he almost signed before going to Preston and he is not happy up there now.
Glos Echo reporter John Palmer has confirmed Cheltenham boss Yates wants to sign Robertson from Preston - long term target.
21 Dec 2012 09:18:24

Reading are interested in Zambian defensive midfielder felix stoppila sunzu. Arsenal are also interested in him but he has choosen to sign for reading.
Who does he play for
21 Dec 2012 06:39:26
David Beckham was at Southend the other day, did he pop into Roots Hall ?
I'm sure that would be a name that he wants to add to his career list; Manchester United, Real Madrid, Los Angeles Galaxy and Southend on Sea....
He has also been seen at Gatwick which does not mean he is signing for Crawley, or does it?
Some people really cant take a joke...
Perhaps that's where he gets his roots done.
Redbird
Nope he was just toppin up his tan!
21 Dec 2012 00:42:26
Bristol Rovers reportedly looking to sign cheltenham midfielder Jermaine McGlashan in january, this i got from world football agent
Of course Bristol Rovers have half a million lying around and Jermaine would want to move to a club battling relegation to non-league. He'll only leave CTFC for a Championship club.
20 Dec 2012 23:51:49
Championship side Watford will be trying to lure hot Ghanaian prospect Kingsley Boateng to the UK in January having failed to agree contract terms with AC Milan. The talented 17 year old is a highly rated striker who Watford's new owners The Pozzo's have been keeping a close eye on.
20 Dec 2012 23:41:05
Bournemouth will only be operating one in, one out process in january with more exits expeting. Demouge and Davids are likely to retunr back to Holland, Gregory has terminated his contract, homas will be sold to Blackpool, Stephane Zubar may leave on loan as well as Joe Partington and Donal McDermott.
Howe may bring in Bartley who followed him to Burnley and is currently not playing, Howe will also look to strengthen in the full back area with only Daniels and Francis the only recognised full back.
The same Davids who is at barnet!??
No. Lorenzo Davids....cousin.
That seems quite possible, the dutch players have not shown much in their time in england. Fringe players put out on loan to get game time, and few signings to cover right and left back positions and playmaker for midfield.
A dutch team were watching davids against reading on tuesday but were more impressed with josh carmichael who was bmths stand out player maybe we could sell him to recoup some money
The Dutch Players have hardly played a game, would be shocking to see the both go in January. Can see Demouge leaving in the Summer though.
When davids has played he looks like a good player with a good touch, just didnt seem fit. wouldnt be surprised to see demouge, zubar, partington, mcdermott, tubbs, thomas and stockley leave on loan or permenantly
