Lfc will also sign Javier MASCHARANO but sissoko will no be leaving for any fee Rafa also stated after the Chelsea game were sissoko dominated the middle of the park he could be a future captain of Lfc.

Lfc could get some big money this season coz the way that Cisse is playing in France rekon about 12 million from himI am a good friend of Harry Redknapp and he has told me that Chelsea have put in a £10 mil bid for Kanu but Harry doesn't want him to go.

To all the newcastle fans get a grip! you have a club that's worth practicaly zero. WHY? how much cash has been spent on flops in the last 3 years and players who haven't played through injury? the reason no one has came in and wanted to buy the club is the fact of the debt

Roy Keane has vetoed a swap deal with Steven Elliott however has offer Birnmingham £500k for Matt Sadler.

Lilian thuram to marseille

As Milan Mandaric has purchased Leicester, one of the other takeover parties that was interested in the club, is believed to be attempting a takeover at Nationwide Conference North neighbours Hinckley United - with the aim of investing money into the ambitious club to realise their dream of becoming an established League Club.

To Redangel, "Two England prospects, Gareth Bale&Ashley Young"!? Gareth Bale is Welsh.

I am a journalist in holland and i have heard that ajax's Wesley Sniejder is a transfer target for aston villa. Martin O'Neill is looking to spend around £8 million on the dutch playmaker.

Everton to sign the following

Reo Coker - 5m

Nugent - 2mil and davies

Scott Brown - 3m

And that is all!

I can confirm that ashley young will be an arsenal player but not until watford get relegated both clubs have agreed a fee of £7.5 million which sees ashley young move to arsenal and watford get a decent sum for him in the summer instead of the 3-4 mill he'll be worth when they get relegated

Ive heard that everton will sign joey barton on tuesday afternoon and will hold a press confrence at 5pm tuesday. also everton have had a bid rejecterd for ashley young.

expect james beattie to leave within the next 2 weeks, newcastle and bolton lead the race for the fat bastard.

Simon Jordan Crystal Palace Chairman appeared on Soccer AM and confirmed that Palace have purchased a player, but the player will be unveilled on Monday even though the deal went through on Friday, the player is believed to be Paul Ifill of Sheffield United

I have close connections to a well known football agent, expect Zat Knight to be an Aston Villa player by the end of Jan! Sick of London life and wants to move to his boyhood club! Also the person who said Anthony Stokes would be used as part of a Woodgate deal. haha! why would Real Madrid want Stokes with the number of world class strikers they have??

To the fan who talked of the LFC takeover deal being done but not announced. For what purpose? Can't be secrecy, if you know so does everyone else.

I don't claim to know for sure but I have heard a few whispers. Ribery is wanted by Arsenal but apparently he does not want to move until the summer. Other potential interest at the Emirates is for Jesus Navas. Notice a pattern here? Wingers are wanted by Wenger - Ljungberg on the way maybe. ?

Chelsea want Richards but he is going nowhere unless the money is so irresistible and City don't mind losing Psycho. They will I am led to believe shore up with short term prospects. The word I hear is that there is turbulence at the Bridge between Abramovich and Mourinho, only one loser there methinks. It does however inhibit transfer activity.

that's all folks.

Man utd will look to sign owen hargreaves 12-17mil during the january transfer window. Expect a bid to be made for Gareth Bale thought to be high around 9mil to put other clubs off. Torres 22-27mil will be signed in the summer along with Ricardo Quaresma 9-14 mil or Nani 8-11 mil because Nani is younger it would give him more time to adapt to english football A bid will be made for Micah Richards 9-14 mil. Pique will return from his loan spell at Real Zaragoza. Also Ben Foster will return from Watford as SAF rates him very highly and he could become the next Peter Schmeichel, (Excuse the Spelling).

Paul Hartley's agent has confirmed interest from Rangers. Expect the new 'Gers management team to make a bid soon. This will test Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov's statement that he would never sell a player to the Old Firm. Hartley is reortedly unsettled at the club after being disciplined last month. However, as a self-confessed Celtic fan, would he move to Rangers?

MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB NEWS

I SEE NO POINT IN POSTING A FALSE RUMOUR AND I AM NOT GOING TO. GIUSEPPE ROSSI WILL BE GIVEN THE CHANCE OVER THE NEXT 2 MONTHS TO PROOVE HIS MERITS FOR A FIRST TEAM PLACE. EXPECT HIS FIRST PARTNER TO BE LOUIS SAHA WHICH COULD CAUSE UNREST WITH ALEX FERGUSON AND WAYNE ROONEY.

EFC

These transfers will definately happen in january, David Dunn will sign for Everton, on a pay as you play deal. Moyes will off load Beattie to Charlton in exchange for Andy Reid, he will also raid West Ham for Etherington and Carlton Cole!Moyes also likes the look of Luke Varney but isn't shore if he's ready for the step up!!!. C.Kecks!!

My sources at Old Trafford have told me that Man Utd are definetely going to sign a striker in January but it will not be Torres. Ferguson wants and is very likely to sign Huntelaar for around 10-15mil. Hargreaves will not be bought until the summer, but will eventually for 20mil, and Bale will also not be purchased. Huntelaar will be Man U only signing in January

NUFC: IVE HEARD THE FOLLOWIN THINGS AT THE TRAINING GROUND, IN SJP AND AROUND THE CITY CENTRE ITSELF:

Coventry have agreed to sell Elliott Ward to Birmingham City. Birmingham did not want him cup tied hence the sudden injury keeping him out of the game today against Bristol.

Coventry will claim they are to get £3m but this is a similar structure as the McSheffery deal, Cov will get £0.5m now, £1m if Birmingham are promoted, £1m if Birmingham stay in the premiership for the following season and £0.5m if Ward gains international caps.

This is a bad deal by a poor management team but they will claim it will take the club forward.

OLD FIRM REALITY CHECKS - Dramatic Departure of PLG has clearly set minds racing upon this page. Let's examine the facts :

Smith and McCoist to RFC - Probable but not definite ; Compensation for WS has still to be decided and he feels a debt of honour to the nation and therefore may not be happy to take up the RFC post unless he can jobshare with the Scotland job until a new national coach can be found. AMcC meantime has hefty - and expensive to buy out - TV contractual commitments. These may yet make Murray think twice about the necessity of a largely unproven coach , particularly in circumstances where the club has presumably endured the cost of seeing off PLG and his entourage, and must surely anticipate a costly fire sale of the Frenchman's signings. All of this makes the prospect of the additional salary burden of auxillary coaches such as McCall and Gough seem unlikely too. If however this Smith / McCoist path is followed then how can the purchase of Brown and Thomson be achieved ? The asking price is likely to be cranked up to £ 4 M + by prem interest , and then there are the wages to consider - all for two players coming in to the area of the team that is best covered not least by Lord Bazza himself. Celtic fans need not gloat however as Stokes rejection of their terms in favour of those offered by Charlton accurately reflects where they are placed when there is competition for a player . Hesselink and Gravesen seemed impressive signings in the summer , but they were brought to P'head without any serious attention being paid to them by other suitors. Gravesen's form since his arrival and Hesselink's persistent injury problems may give you some idea why. The Bhoys have offered for the Hibs pair too , but may find that when an English club comes calling the Stokes scenario is revisited.

I can tell you that leighton baines will be leaving wigan in this transfer window. i'm not sure where he is going, maybe spurs or Liverpool but definately a team pushing for europe.

celtic to sign a big name striker brown and thomson pearson to go to derby alan thompson will go stokes is uneeded rangers are going to sign young striker sahil jaidka who has been scouted as the next sebo. sebo is to become captain

Just to clarify a few rumours on here of late. brooker will not be going to port vale ha ha, stop dreaming! if he goes anywhere it will be to a championship club and only if we sign grant holt

Amid a week of transfer fuelled speculation, it is clear that a number of clubs are chasing a highly rated full back from Newcastle. Also, Torre Andre Flo has completed a shock move back to the big time from leeds, whom he amassed only two games with. Many are competing for the lanky man's signature, with front runners including Scotland, and Villa who also have another old hand among their ranks. Young Levi Porter has completed a midfield switch to italian giants Palermo, with a batch of pink shirts going the other way for Rob Kelly and co. Expect to see radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles in the blue of city, with wanchope tempted with a return to eastlands. Down at the basball ground, derby have taken on Paul ince on trial after his drug allegations cleared. At southampton, the Dell crowd are excited by the return of fit again youngster Marian Parhars, who it is hoped can fire george burleys men into the top tier of football, where many believe they belong. Finally, Wigan have broken all records and signed higly rated pair of Gaz and Phil Nev, from Man U and everton respectivly.

West ham are set to put in a cheeky bid for Manchester United Gabriel Heinze should United succeed in their quest to land gareth Bale. Not sure about any details or whether this is true. Its just some whispers i've heard from people close to the club.

Chris Porter, looks set to sign professional forms with Palace. Michael Ballack is trying to convince long time friend and gambling partner Oliver Kahn to join him at Stamford Bridge in a bid to oust Magnus Hedman from the Blues as many players believe he is not fit to wear the Leicester blue, let alone the Chelsea blue. Plans to move Arsenal to their old stadium Highbury have been dismissed as 'rubbish.' Collins John has re-iterated his desire to better the talents of Thierry Henry, after completing his move to Premier bottom boys Watford. Raimond van der Gouw has been asked to become a buddist after police found traces of LSD in his bathroom. He has also been linked with a move to Port Vale. Others to join him will be Martin Gritton and an Italian youngster by the name of Mario Puzo. Gangsters led by Danny de Vito are expected to complete their takeover of Newcastle United today with Ian Atkins and David Murray expected to be installed as the duo to bring Championship football back to St James Park. They will sign Faustino Asprilla, Carles Puyol, Carlos Valderrama and Socrates of Garforth Town. Toon Army

PLYMOUTH NEWS. Akos Buszaky to join wolve along with Tony Capaldi for a combined fee of £2 million. With this money Ollie will but Chris Porter (£500k), Nathan Tyson (£1million). Also expect a shock 12 month contract offered to Steve Macmanaman!!

Sheringham On The Move?

Reports are surfacing, linking West Ham's Teddy Sheringham with a January move to Sunderland.

The veteran striker, now 40, played with Roy Keane at Manchester United for 5 years between 1997 and 2001. As well as playing with 'Keano' at Nottingham Forest for 1 year between 1991 and 1992.

With West Ham United on a downward slope, and Teddy's first-team chances very limited, rumours suggest he is looking to move during January and where better than desperate-for-a-goalscorer Sunderland.

Rangers to get Webster and Brown(Hibs)

Possible signing of Kevin Davis(Bolton)

Gow (Falkirk) and Anderson(Aberdeen)

Bringing back the Britishness at Rangers. Smith wants assurances of money to spend before taking the job.

Stokes will sign for Charlton not Celtic. he does not support Celtic, just cos he is Irish they seem to believe the whole country loves them.

Man United are trying to signn Deco for 12mill As he is unhappy at barca.

Liverpool are 100% signed Lucas Neill for 2mill.

Players leaving Liverpool are fowler, crouch, gonzalez. Others playing coming in are Marechano {spelling} on loan and then chance to buy for 6mill { fifa rulin},

DAVID BECKHAM WILL NOT GO TO LIVERPOOL. HE HAS SAID BEFORE HE WILL ONLY PLAY IN ENGLAND IF ITS WITH MANCHESTER UNITED.

EFC

We really need to strengthen and Moyes is no idiot. However, I think we should have signed Boa Morte, quality player especially with Fulham being linked with Simon Davies. Having heard all the rumours flying round at the moment these are the few i believe could happen at Goodison during the transfer window.

INS:

I feel we will raid Man Utd

Tim Howard - permanent deal, Man Utd Still owe us money from the Rooney deal.

Alan Smith - loan deal

Kieron Richardson - 3mil

Possibly John O'Shea on loan aswel to shore up our defense

OUTS:

No-one, we can't afford to lose anyone with a squad so small unless we get a silly bid for someone like 15mil from Real for lescott.

Nam Myoho Renge Kyo

David Moyes is looking to steal a march on Fulham by signing both Clint Dempsey and Oguchi Onyewu.

Everton will be meeting agent Will Sterling with a view to purchasing an international footballer currently playing in Belgium. It is beleived that the fee will be around £1.5million.

Glasgow Rangers News

some people on here are doubting whether Walter Smith and Ally McCoist will be the next management team. As the man who revealed on here 1st over 2 weeks ago that they were taking over I can reveal that they definately are taking over. Walter Smith agreed to taking over 3 weeks ago and the only delay now is Coisty tying up his media contracts. I can also reveal that no other 9-in-a-row heros will be jumping on board. Ian Durrant will remain reserve team coach. in a shock move we will be raiding Celtic and recruiting Kenny McDowell as 1st team coach. I have no news on signing targets other than what has appeared in the media. Waldo will look to recreat the 9-in-a-row spirit which saw the team made predominately of Scots with the odd quality foreigner to provide the team with a spark.

Arsenal and Sevilla are showing great interest in Edward Ofere according to a Swedish source very close to Malmo FF.

Newcastle United to sign joey barton for 5.5 and peter crouch for 8.5 with that Liverpool to sign villa. also gareth bale to sign to the toon for 8m with kris gate going the other way on loan for the rest of the seaon.
