Hi folks, Wenger is unlikely to buy anyone else other than an unknown kid _ may be. It is a fact as this has happened for the last 10 years. He won't buy more than 3 players at any one window. 2 in already. Don'e keep your hope till the last day and get disappointed. Wrong but that is a fact.

Charlton Athletic manager Phil Parkinson has made two Enquiries for two strikers one being Macclesfield Town forward Emile Sinclair and the other being Bristol Rovers hitman Jo Kuffour.

Roy Hodgson has confirmed that David Ngog will not be leaving the club after his recent pre season form. However Blackpool will launch a season long loan deal for El zhar. Luke Young will not be joining Liverpool due to family reasons. So Liverpool will turn there attentions back to wayne Bridge. They are also interested in a move for Petrov from Villa once Mascherano has left the club (if Roy let's him).
By the way Ed as a fellow Liverpool fan i love this site. Just fed up with some of the dreamers who think we can compete with the likes of Chelsea and Man City in the transfer market. Kun Aguero Get real!! Liverpool will be looking to bolster there squad whilst reducing the wage bill and getting rid of Rafa's rubbish along the way. However Huntalaar would be a graet addition on a season long loan with an option to buy once the club is in more stable financial standing.

Can somebody explain to me why is there too many rumours of ozil joining utd.has he said he will join united or anything of the sort??and y do you guys think he was a childhood utd supporter, in fact he was not.i think man utd will sign ninis/defour, will mould into a player better than ozil.as far as i know there are strings of clubs including munich, chelsea, madrid, barca, arsenal, ac milan behind him.yet i'm not sure why do the guys here think he'll prefer united alone, ahead of these clubs.i aint saying it won't happen, but its bit unlikely.:)

–Southampton fc to sign Darius Vassell tommorow from Turkish side Arkanguru. Also on his way to saints in the next week is Bristol Rovers striker Chris Lines in a deal worth around £1 million. David Connolly set to be placed on transfer list.
To whoever posted the above, I'd be worried if I was a Saints fan, trying to buy a central Midfield player from Rovers and then shoving him up front.
bit more research needed I think.
30 Jul 2010 09:16:04

30 Jul 2010 07:00:14
No inside info from me, although looks like Luke Young is opting to go somewhere else. Fair enough, probably wants to play week–in, week–out. We should pick up Figueroa and Turan, and then a replacement for Masch when he leaves. Preferably a player with Prem experience; who do you think fits the bill best, Ed? {editor's note – so the papers say he it is Liverpool, then they find out that actually it is not Liverpool and that he is about to sign elsewhere and chenge their story to say he has opted out of a move to Liverpool to take up another offer. All that despite MON and Villa both confirming only ONE club had bid for him, and yet people still believe it! Sometimes I despair!}

30 Jul 2010 07:24:52
Ever Banega is an obvious one, Antonio Lopez another mention but I think Javi Martinez is a name a lot of people are forgeting LFC were interested in when Benitez was around. Young and a highly technical player. also a DM option in replacement for Macherano should he go. Currently playing for Athletic Bilbao.
30 Jul 2010 07:43:19
O.K. its gone too far I came home from work this morning the house is empty and my bird has left..

dont look for the crisps we have taken them all.
Will the real Ken Aguero please stand up!
30 Jul 2010 07:55:15
Its good to see that lennon is doing what mowbray did bringing in players for positions we don't need yet.everybody knows u build from the back.james to sign for bristol city(no ambition)gallas could still sign(hopeful)poss signing the spartak keeper on loan also spurs after this keeper as well.we need to bring in 2 cb and a keeper.was at the game on wed and we were dreadfull.all ball control, shooting, defending, keeper PISH

RE: Below comments. If, and it's a big if, Vassell signs he would probably not be deployed as an out and out striker but as an attacking midfielder or winger.
Southampton fc to sign Darius Vassell tommorow from Turkish side Arkanguru. Also on his way to saints in the next week is Bristol Rovers striker Chris Lines in a deal worth around £1 million. David Connolly set to be placed on transfer list.
_
Why would Connolly be placed on the transfer list, when he was only given a new deal a few weeks ago?
And when Alan Pardew says he needs ANOTHER striker, to go with the 3 we already have.
Please explain your reasoning.
30 Jul 2010 08:16:30
Let just get something straight here. Just because the Torres rumours are starting quieten down, why now does everyone suddenly turn their attention to start gossiping about another random Liverpool player?
Alberto Aqualani is going knowhere, he's managed to learn english pretty well, and Hodgson knows how to man manage italian players.
This is a rumours pagenot a fictional one.
Genuine rumours only please.
PS Aquilani didn't have a great game(in some peoples opions) because he got a knock last week in the friendly game. – Keep up the good work ed.
30 Jul 2010 08:20:54
I live near the villa training ground and whilst out walking my dog this morning seen ryan babel drive into bodymoor heath ! could this be a deal being struck for the mighty milner involving a swap with milner ? john the red !
30 Jul 2010 08:23:00
Celtic to sell Loovens McGeady, Samaras, Fortune and Hinkel yet. Still to sign Lawerence a goalkeeper, possibly James, a left back and two centre backs. Rangers must come out flying this year because when Celtic click they will be a good side.
30 Jul 2010 08:33:19
I believe Marlon King will go to Coventry as Boothroyd had a good rappore with him.they are very welcome to himas his attitude is somewhat suspect!
leeds WILL SIGN BRUCE but I can, t for the life in me see them signing Chopra too much money plus wages!SG mentioned he was going to sign a second playerwho would surprise supporters so who will this be Derbyshire or Mackail Smith at least with Kandol leaving that will release some wages Millwall would be his favourite destination
30 Jul 2010 08:39:23

Once the Balotelli to Man City transfer goes through. Inter will get Masch and Kuyt for 30 mil with Sulley Muntari going back to Liverpool
Being a liverpool fan all of my life i cannot seem to recall Sulley Muntari ever playing for us. He signed for inter from portsmouth. I can only think that you were thinking of Mohamed Sissoko who we sold to Juventus.
Also expect Liverpool to announce the signing of Huntelaar very soon with Dirk Kuyt going the other way.

Part 1 of my 3 part bumper transfer story complete – Mark Hughes has joined Fulham as their new manager.
Roll on the next 2 – Mascherano to Inter, Torres to Chelsea.
Ed – Is there anyway to confirm that I posted this rumour, or do you remember it? It was about a week ago.

Leicester City news:
My friend who works in the co–op in Enderby just served Marlon Harewood who has recently been released by Aston Villa.
Will he be signing?
he has already signed for a turkish club and is on 40k a week belive it or not
Harewood hasn't signed for anyone yet, let alone at £40k a week, the NotW claimed Galatasaraay were after him, but they probably made it up.

Aiden McGeady will be sold for 7 million..most likely to Aston Villa. Funds will be used to sign either Bellamy or Keane. Of course Celtic will rubbish this claim but it will happen.
Rangers will sign 3 players.Walter is trying to persuade Alex Ferguson let Danny Welbeck go to Rangers on loan till Jan next year.

Rangers FC
Goodwillie, is a no go, not good enough for Champions League.
Gattuso, maybe next year once his contract expires.
INS
Benalouane (CB), St Ettienne, Bougherra's replacement.
Or
Khumalo(CB), South African impressive in world cup.
Eagles(RW), Re–negotiations, Smiths first choice.
Jelavic(ST), Unlikely, Champ League cup tied.
or
Mphela(ST), South African, would do well in SPL.
Expect Smith to pay Sir Alex Ferguson a vist after both tours are finished, one or to loanings(e.g Macheda) to gain Champions league experience.
The last person to leave Rangers this Summer will be Bougherra if a high offer is put on the table (over 7 mill). Kenny Miller is not going anywhere as his shin splints make him Unsellable.
Some players are interested in Rangers Peter Lovenkrands, Lee Miller and Jonothan Utaka, unlikely to happen but worth a shout.
craigRTID
Jelavic is only cup tied if Rapid get to the Europa group stages. I don't think they will, looking at the teams in the play off round. Fact.
Apart from that i hope your right about the rest.

The Knowledge suggested at 29 Jul 2010 23:25:02:
"Liverpool are set to play hardball over the transfer of Javier Mascherano. Inter Milan are well publicised suiters and are set to make an offer, once Mario Ballotelli has been sold to Manchester City."
If Inter make a bid it will not be related to the sale of Ballotelli.
"Ballotelli fee is rumoured in the region of 45 million, this including signing on fee, bonuses, agent fee's etc."
This seems to be much higher than expected. At that price he will not be sold.
"Benitez is expecting to get Mascherano for in the region of 20 – 25 million but liverpool are set to hold out for altleast 35 million due to the hype around the transfer."
It is nothing to do with Benitez. He will identify players only and has no involvement in the financial aspects nor negotiations.
"A win win situation for Roy Hodgson. If Inter Milan refuse to stump up such a fee for the Argentinian captain, arguably the best holding midfielder in the world. Then Manager Roy Hodgson will explain that if a relatively unproven, tempremental striker can fetch 45 Million then a seasoned, world class, leader of a country can fetch 35Million."
You cannot equate players in that way. Hodgson would make Liverpool a laughing stock if he went down that road.
"Liverpool will then either cash in and make a tidy profit, or will keep Javier and force him to honour his contract. Afterall a transfer request is only a request afterall."
It rather depends if they wish to be stuck with a player who does not want to play for them or if they wish to clear the decks and move on. I would suggest the latter.
Sharkey.

Kun Agueros Cousin Ken will join him at Atletico as Kun believes he has "crisp" passing.Ken only accepted the offer as Kun stole his packets of salt and shake and Kun will only give them back if Ken joins.
where do u think Ken Aguero will end up Ed?and just wondering has anyone uploaded photos of players they have apparently seen yet? {editor's note – there are a fair few photos uploaded, not so sure about their authenticity though! As for Ken, it is a whirlwind of transfer activity out there, I don't think anyone knows which of his numerous offers he will accept, especially with Real Madrid showing interest.}

Heard a whisper that rangers have got a bit more to spend than they are making out. One of the reasons that Walter decided to stay. Apparently their are those at the bank who realise that the sale of the club is the best way for them to recuperate some of their money. And have decided on a limited spend in order to improve the clubs stock and make it more attractive to potential investors. Also one of the African players agent revealed that it was David Murray who was conducting negotiations. Apparently his wider business empire has been showing signs of an upturn and he also is becoming more involved. They also know that if Celtic crash and burn they are in serious difficulty as the board have pushed the boat out for the last two managers without any cl income. The tables financially could turn very quickly especially if rangers attract a buyer.
29 Jul 2010 23:49:11
Not a rumour just my thoughts..Liverpool have been bought by someone very rich its all ready been sold or in the final stages of being sold, and that's why there makin stupid bids for YOUNG he isn't even good enuf for villers first team never mind Liverpool's. The announcement will come when they have negotiated with all players on there Target list. What do you recon Ed could this be possible or just wishful thinking? {editor's note – wishful thinking, definitely. The club won't be sold in time to buy anyone this summer, in my opinion.}
29 Jul 2010 23:51:25

I have just been informed that Roy Hodgson is willing to listen to offers for Liverpool trio Alberto Aquilani, Martin Skrtel and Dirk Kuyt although neither of them wishes to leave the club.
Hodgson is trying to find buyers for Phillip Degan, Damien Pleissis, Nabil El Zhar, Kristian Nemeth and Charles Itanje.He wants the 5 off his books in order for more funds and for the deals to be completed before the end of this transfer window.
And a less reliable source tells me that Hodgson will make a move for either Spurs midfielder Tom Huddlestone, West hams Scott Parker or Aston Villa's Stylian Petrov and potentiallly a shock move for Jermaine Jenas.
Not saying these deals are definitely going to happen, I'm just informing you what i have been told!!
30 Jul 2010 09:46:30
It appears that Saint–Etienne have decided agaisnt making Pape Diakhate's loan permanent meaning that the player is back on the market. I would expect to see some interest from Arsenal amonst other English clubs. The fee for the player is reportedly low.
