I have some inside Liverpool news so I thought I would post on here. I know many sources within Anfield so I get so much information coming my way. All those thinking Bentley is going to Liverpool, I can tell you now that he is no longer a target. I know for a fact that Alonso is staying so no point in continuing to say he could be leaving. Barry is trying to be bought to play on the left wing. Liverpool have not made any agreement to sign Philipp Degen. Philipp Lahm is not being signed so you can take him off the list. The number one target for left back is Wayne Bridge. Abidal has been linked recently and this rumour is actually true but Liverpool have around £6–7 million set aside for defense with most of the budget going on midfielders. They hope to tempt Chelsea into selling Bridge for around that price range. Quaresma, who many people want will not be signed I am pretty certain about that as there has not been any word of him. I believe Liverpool made a bid for him on January 12th but the bid fell way short of Porto's valuation. What was the bid? I have heard it was £13.5 million but Porto wanted £18 million. Mancini? Yes, this is a possibility and his situation regarding his contract is being monitored closely. David Silva? No chance. Just like the talks about Joaquin coming, it just will not happen. Rafa likes the player but knows that Valencia will not sell their star youngster unless they are forced to. If they get relegated then there is a great chance of this happening with a double bid for Silva and Villa. Talking of Valencia, Antonio Valencia is an option but not a top target so do not expect him to join. The big name player that Rafa really wants is actually Klass–Jan Huntelaar but because of the price tag he's been put off for now. He is also a huge fan of Karim Benzema so. I doubt he will move this season though. Do not be surprised to see Javier Saviola or Diego Milito at Liverpool next season as a replacement for Voronin
Firstly, the person that 'THINKS' Lulinha/Messi or Ronaldinho are going to the Bridge. you ARE HAVIN A LAUGH.
Chelsea are a team that buy players who would not turn them down and these trio above certainly will. SHAME
However Man United, hoping they wrap up the double, will be looking to stregthen in the right back slot. and other crucial areas
INS = Daniel Alves £22 million, Crisito £7 million, Valencia £8.5 million
Sergio aguero dubbed has the next BATISTUTA THAT will BE FOR £18 million.
OUTS = Luis Saha £5/6 million, John O'Shea £5 million, and MAYBE FLETCHER.
Arsenal however are in the market for Flamini's replacement. they will go for YAYA TOURE for £9 million.
Alexandre Song is being targeted on a loan deal by West Bromwich.
Pedro Mendes is also being targeted because Redknapp sees no future for him at pompy n West Bromwich have stated their interest.
Liverpool want Sergio Aguero from Atletico Madrid and he has stated he would love to play with Fernando Torres.
Benitez also wants Silva and Vicente from Valencia as they are both very dissapointed with Valencias season and they both would love to play for Benitez.
I'm a Chelsea fan but my Uncle is a director at Stoke City Football Club. He has some information on what they are looking for to secure a Premier League place for the season after next, although conceding it a tough but doable challenge (I do not care, I am just looking forward to my trip to Moscow in two weeks)
He gave me the 22–man shortlist ( = top target):
Carlo Nash (Wigan)
Boaz Myhill (Hull)
Maik Taylor (Birmingham)
Bernard Mendy (PSG)
Chris Riggott (M'Boro)
Hermann Hreidarsson (Portsmouth)
Abdoulaye Meite (Bolton)
Petri Pasanen (Werder Bremen)
Richard Stearman (Leicester)
Elliot Ward (Coventry)
Darel Russell (Norwich)
Brian Howard (Barnsley)
Peter Halmosi (Plymouth)
Sean Davis (Portsmouth)
Thomas Graveson (Celtic)
Seyi Olofinjana (Wolves)
Stephen Pearson (Derby)
Wayne Routledge (Aston Villa)
Marlon Harewood (Aston Villa)
Shola Ameobi (Newcastle)
Heidar Helguson (Bolton)
Sam Vokes (Bournemouth)
Mikael Forssell (Birmingham)
With a budghet of 10 – 18 million, these targets could be viable.
OUT – Parkin, Matteo, Diao, Broomes, Demar Phillips
AND there you have it: shortlist = real
COME ON CHELS (and to some extent Stoke)
Hull City
Ins:
Frazier Campbell (Man United) (5 million)
Jan Tauer (D. Stockholm) (400 k)
Bonaventure Kalou (Free Agent)
Harry Kewell (Liverpool)
Marcus Bent (Wigan) (Loan)
Outs:
Craig Fagan (Derby) (Loan End)
Jay–Jay Okocha (Retire) (Depending On If Hull Go Up)
Michael Bridges (N. Forest)
Stuart Elliott (Doncaster) (275k)
Ryan France (Mk Dons)
Frazier Campbell Will Be Bought If Hull City Are Promoted To The Premier League But He Has Said He Wants To Fight For His Place At Man United But You Could See Him Offloaded To E. g Bolton If Hull Fail To Reach Top Flight.
And Also Windass Will Not Be Going To Barnsley
And Barmby Wont Be Going To Leeds.
Liverpool Rumours have been flodding this site but here is the truth behind the rumours. Benitez highlighted already that to sign the good players, and get them into the squad and ease them into the Premier League then they should be bought early. In this, he said he had already signed someone who spoke English but was not his primary language, though this came out at the time when Riise was not getting his game. Left Back, English Speaking and straight into the first team. Phillip Lahm. He plays Right and Left Back and covers for Aurelio's injuries. Riise will be sold to Newcastle for £4 million with Lahm costing £10 + clauses. Degen will sign and with Finnan moving on next Summer/January, Arbeloa will play right back or left back where necessary dependant on Aurelios fitness.
Barry linked a lot but this was not DIC as was reported. Hicks will buy the club outright in the coming Summer and wants to instill English pedigree in the team and Rafa wants him to play a free role on the left due to lack of quality of Benayoun in this position. Suggestions are that Rafas Valencia colleagues are top of the shortlist but with Villa, Silva, Canizarez, Vicente and Jaoquin have all being talked about, it is likely that only one will sign; Silva the most likely.
DIC have just launched a bid in private to Hicks and Gillet. The two Americans have got five days to reply to the bid and open talks with DIC. The fee is thought to be around 450 million. This news will not be made public until the end of May.
Benitez has spoken to DIC officials about tranfer targets and two of these targets agents have been contacted. Targets for Benitez are thought to be:
Gareth Barry – Agent has been contacted
Michael Owen – Agent has been contacted
David Bentley
Thierry Henry – Enquiring about his availibilty.
David Silva – Depending on Valencia's position at the end of the season.
Sergio Aguaro.
Only three or four of these players will be signed.
Making a shock return will be Mark Gonzalez. The winger has only gone out on loan for the season.
Players leaving are:
Vorinin, Crouch, Riise, Agger (loan), Kewell, Leto, possibly Pennant.

RED Rumours
David Nugent will Return To Deepdale for £5 million which will be given to Alan Irvinbe to spend by Trevor Hemmins who is now willing to put his money into the club.
Leicester City's new manager will be EX FOXES PLAYER Simon Grayson from Blackpool. 100 percent True. He knows how to get out of this division, he kept Blackpool up in the ChMPIONSHIP.

Rangers want to sign West Bromwich Albion Scottish midfielder Morrison and WBA's Villa loanee Luke Moore. in return West Bromwich have been credited with interest in Rangers pair Daniel Cousin, although the deal with Fulham might be resurrected, and Brahim Hemdani, who is also rumoured to be interesting both Reading and Birmingham City.
Rangers also looking to throw money, and Alan Gow, at Hibernian to get Steven Fletcher.
Following lengthy discussions Colin Calderwood and the Nottingham Forest board of directors have agreed to a five day break with regards to Calderwoods contract negotiations. My source from within NFFC has hinted that two Premier League clubs have made tentative enquiries over Calderwoods availability, one of which is believed to be the Hammers.
Latest news from reliable source at the Echo:
Hicks realises that DIC are not going away and will form a 60: 40 partnership with them (Hicks with 60 percent of course). Hicks will take control of the Stadium issues to try to get it done ASAP and DIC will back Rafa this Summer in the transfer market. Major clearout this Summer, the gaffer realises that he cannot just tinker with his squad, he needs a major overhaul. Ins are:

Arsenal will sign Loic Perrin, Hatem Ben Arfa, Nuri Sahin and will add Onouha to the defense. NO keeper will be signed, Vito Mannone will step up to number 3
Firstly some of the Liverpool rumours arnt rumours there PEOPLE HOPES
HYPPIA will be staying, simple as that if only to help with the development of the youngsters.
Barry will sign but only if the deal is right for Villa, they will not keep barry against his will but they have a wealthy chairman and a very good season behinf them, so barry could be persuaded to stay if he see's big spending in the Summer.
GUDJOHNSON – is a huge possibility, he wants regular Champions League football, and we are all aware of his ability.
Henry – no chance, Arsenal do not want to resign him so out of respect will not join even though he would like to.
Joe hart, might sign a contract but be loaned back to Manchester City, the only thing stopping him is playing second fiidle to big Pepe but Rafa has challanged him to be number one, there is also talk of canizares or harper just as backup, but harper would perfer to be number one at a club after spending so long at Newcastle.
and there is rumours of silva, Villa, Bentley but there mostly media enquiries and gossip.
and lastly dic have lost interest and do not want to share the club.
Pnezzy Lfc for life
After his release from Norwich, Darren Huckerby has stated he will not play for another team that is likely to have to play against the Canaries, he has been lined up for a move to MLS with Toronto his most likely destination.
Meanwhile, expect Peter Ramage to be the first of many new faces added to the squad and 'Tiny' Taylor to follow soon after.
David Moyes is winning the race to sign Stoke Citys highly rated left back Carl Dickinson. Moyes is after a new left back to replace LeScott who is Arsenal bound. He faces stiff competition from Aston Villa and Sunderland though who are both interested in signing the £5 million rated star.
SAfc In's – S. Hunt £3.5 million, D. Fletcher £4 million, J. O'Shea £4 million, D. Forlan £13 million, N. Shorey £4 million, G. Barnes £3 million, J. Evans Season loan
Out's – D. Connoly, R. Wallace, G. Kavannagh, G. Halford, A. Cole, G. Leadbitter, D. Murphy
Ronaldinho is not moving to any team because:
1– No–one can afford his wages
2– No–one can afford the release fee Clause £97 million
3– FC Barcelona will not release him unless the release fee is reached.

Mike Newell, New Manager
Best Holdings, New Owners
Johnson, Paid off and OUT.
Arsenal rumours
Wenger reported interest in Robinho is still going, would not be surprised if this did not happen.
Jean II Makoun to replace Flamini.
Benzema will not leave Lyon for at least another season, especially not for Man United.
Ben Arfa is unlikely to leave Lyon too. Look out for Jeremy Toulalan though, if the price is low enough Wenger might be tempted over Makoun.
Do not expected Senderos or Eboue to leave, as much as we can wish, it is not likely as Wenger obviously has faith in the players. Eboue may move back to right back (cover for Sagna) if Rosicky proves himself. Rosicky on left, Walcott on right, Hleb to be used in rotation with them both as he can play on either wing.
Justin Hoyte may be tempted by Villa. MON has been interested in the England defender for around 2/3 seasons now, and will make his move this Summer.
Gunner4Life.
Dimi Konstantopolous (Coventry) has been told he can find a new club, and has approached his old club Hartlepool with the intention of returning.
Hartlepool have been in negiotation with Alan Sheared with the intention of him making his first move into managering. the talks have progressed well and he may be installed late May ealy June in time to bring in the players he wants
Breaking Rumours from Arsenal FC –
Despite reports of a £25 million Summer budget, Wenger has in fact been given an £65 million kitty. He has identified several key targets, as well as plenty of back up options.
As expected Flamini has scarpered looking for money, but fortunately as things stand Hleb will not follow him out of the door. This could change over the next few weeks though so keep an eye on this one.

spl transfer news
CELTIC–Aiden McGeady will leave parkhead in the Summer for Liverpool. Benitez has stated he will be signing someone ''who speaks English but is not English'' Mcgeadys also perfect for there left wing role. He will Be followed to Merseyside by Scott Brown who will join Everton. They will then fill thoses gaps with Re–singing Shaun Maloney from Villa and Steven Sidwell from Chelsea on loan.
RANGERS– The Blue side of Glasgow will have more skill injected next term with Kallstrom from Lyon Klasnic from Bremen and Steven Fletcher of Hibernian all on there way to Ibrox. Also mur–murs of a suprise return of Giovanni Van Bronckhorst.
ABERDEEN– Massive clear out well documented at pittodrie. Expect to see Scott Wilson from Dunfermline, Darren Huckerby who has been released from Norwich and Michael Stewart from Hearts.
HIBS– Steven Fletcher may be off to Murray Park but in will return Derek Riordan also young French Midfielder Gael Danic from Troyes.
Huge changes at Celtic this Summer:
Strachan will resign at the seasons end, even if they can win the league. David Moyes is top of the list for a successor. Scott Brown will sign for Newcastle for £8 million. Nakamura is also on his way with Levante, Recreativo and Bologna leading the chase for the £4 million rated winger. Scott macDonald will also leave in the Summer for £8 million with a number of top sides in Europe impressed by his goals ratio. McGeedy will stay on for next season despite a number of big offers from the EPL. Other players to leave will be: Balde, Gravesen, M. Brown, Caldwell, Riordan, Hartley and Venegoor of Hesselink.
Coming in will be: Samaras (permanent), K. MacDonald, Ghoule, Ivanosevic, Sempleton and Bethel.
FIrst things first any club in England can forget about signing Darren Huckerby. He has already saaid that he will never play for another club in England so he would never have to play against his beloved Canaries. Hucks will probably be joining up with former team–mates and pals Carl Robinson and Jim Brennen at MLS new–boys Toronto FC or be joining Beckham at LA Galaxy.
Norwich will be signing in the Summer Taylor and Jerome from Brum if they miraculously beat the drop. Teale (300K), Nathan Tyson and Kris Commons from Forest and if the Commons deal does not happen Bertrand will come into the squad (on loan) to fill the left midfield berth vacated by Huckerby. Another two forwards will be joining the club probably Rasiak and Paterson as Roeder is a known admirer of the two. Greg Halford (Sunderland) and Patrick Kisnorbo and Hume (both Leicester) will take a bit more money to join Carrow Road. Roeder has promised promotion within the next three seasons. Starting with a top 6 finish in 2008–09.

these are absolute dead certs
LUCIO (29) – centre back – Bayern Munich
MIRALEM PJANIC (18) – leftwing/forward – metz
NIKO KRANJCAR (23) – midfield (attacking or wide) – Portsmouth
MARK MILLIGAN (22) – right back – sydney fc
NURI SAHIN (19) – midfield (holding or attacking) – Feyenoord
NIKOS KARELIS (16) – forward – ergotelis
not so certain, but deffinatly realistic. Manchester City youngsters Michael Johnson and micah Richards, and long term target Robinho. these all depend on price ofcourse.
helb is staying put. Rosicky could be the next out, purely due to consistent injury. this would mean pjanic goes straight into the first team on the left with gibbs being cover. Eboue might be given one more season, but it's not a must as milligan will be cover for Sagna, and with kranjcar arriving there is plenty of cover for helb. Diaby will step straight into his natural holding position as Flamini will not be replaced
I have heard from my contacts at the City of Manchester sradium that they Manchester City are preparing a £5 million pound bid for Nottingham Forest star Nathan Tyson as they seee him as a futre premierleague star but next season he will be used as backup for Castillo and Bojinov. The forward would relish the chance to play in the Premiership while Forest will welcome the money as it would allow them to boost their squad for the championship.
With Alex Miller leaving Lfc rumour has it Rafa wants Ince or Gary mac as his no2 whether they come or not is a diff thing. now to real player rumours villa, Silva and poss Joaquin from Valencia if no Villa agureo from Athletic Madrid. barry from A. Villa Taylor from brum degen done deal and poss lahm Bentley swap+ cashplayers making the break through next season will be insua lb plessis mid and nemeth (st) players out Riise, intadje, Crouch, Finnan, Pennant and few other dead woods ynwa.

Hearts
The club has been scouting in Sweden recently and Malmo left back Behrang Safari has been targeted. With Jose GoncAlves leaving in the Summer, Safari has been identified as a replacement. He has a couple of caps for Sweden and is out of contract in December so only a nominal fee will be required.

Campbell may also leave and if so, go to Spanish football on a free contract.
Word is that there is not a huge amount for Harry to spend this year after his outlay last Summer. However, if the FA Cup is won the net £13.5 million above should happen. If the Cup does not come back to Portsmouth then expect Diarra or Kranjcar to be sold to balance the books.
Portsmouth will pay up to £12.5 million for Peter Crouch. While Benitez has tagged the England forward at £15 million, he will accept the offer from Harry Redknapp with Crouch keen about Pompey.

If you are a regular visitor to this site, you would have noticed that a few months ago I said that Harry Kewell would be offered a new deal at Liverpool and due to my inside knowledge of the club I was right, but Kewell rejected so he is off. Now for more inside info;
Gareth Barry will ask Martin O'Neill for a transfer to Liverpool which will eventually go through after plenty of negotiations.
Liverpool will definitely go for Thierry Henry who is the player who sp(eaks good English but is not English that Rafa was on about a few weeks ago. I have already said this.
Liverpool, if successful at persuasion, will tempt Ronaldinho to Anfield if his wages can be reduced to £100 k a week.
Philip Degen a done deal, expect a bid for Lahm or Gabby Heinze.
Rafa may raid Valencia for Canizares, Joaquin OR Vicente, David Villa and David Silva. Not all will sign but David Villa will definitely.
Rafa will hand him the number 7 shirt vacated by the departing Kewell. Thats all for now, keep you posted.
Red in The Know
Sam Allardyce has been approached to take over at Queens Park Rangers although Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo are in the running.

Strong rumours that Sammy Lee could be returning to Anfield. I would of liked to see Gary McCallister play some role.
Milan is planning to sack holloway on Monday and bring in former manager Mickey Adams to try and get promotion.
Joey gudjonnson could also be just around the corner as the former fox could return to Leicester along with the teenage prodigy Mongungo from Congo, and former Leicester player Luigi Glombard.
Steve Howard has told close friends that he will be leaving Leicester as he believes he can still perform in the championship.
