QPRS Jamie Mackie will sign for Stoke City next week. Matty Upson could join the London club in return.
..
Also Stoke will hope to have completed the signing of Posh midfielder George Boyd. By the end of the transfer window.
Highly doubt mackie will leave qpr at the moment, redknapp seems to want the team based around the hardworkers eg mackie, derry, nelson and then add quality like remy, m'vila, odemwingie .. wouldn't expect him to leave
Stoke need a better striker than Mackie to help their goal scoring record.
14 Jan 2013 22:09:17

14 Jan 2013 22:25:03
Seen him play. Very skillfull player
Not sure if Fessi is the new Messi. But he has a great career ahead of him.
Udinese paid 5 million for him, so how much did watford pay? 5/6 million?

Was told tonight that Danny Graham of Swansea is in Norwich at the moment talking over a possible move to the canaries. The fee is about £5m
Dare I ask, who told you this?
Haa that's odd as i live in the same appartment block as DG and he is here in Swansea.....
Yeah course you do haha!
Why would Danny Graham live in an apartment block? Couldn't he afford a bigger house on footballers wages?
14 Jan 2013 20:47:48

New Bristol City manager Sean O'Driscoll has targeted Northampton's promising young left back Joe Widdowson in an attempt to stave off relegation. He is reported to have bid around £80k to try to lure the defender away from the League 2 club, who are already over-budget for the season.
14 Jan 2013 20:13:15
New Bristol City manager Sean O'Driscall will carry on with the transfer of Kyle McFadzean from Crawley. McInnis started with the interest and O'Driscall thinks he will be a good fit for the club. Expect a quick signing, You heard it here. #COYR
14 Jan 2013 20:09:02
Southampton seem to be interested in Atlanta centre back Andrea Masiello, he seems to be the perfect back up for the Astori deal considering Cortese's Italian Links. Expect the deal to happen after the Chelsea came but before Everton on Monday.
True looks gd but what about hoovield fonte and yoshida all will want to play
He was involved in a match fixing scandal. I don't think Cortese will sign someone like that. He tends to go for personalities as well as playing strength.
14 Jan 2013 19:54:53
Derby County are expected to make a bid for Port Vale striker Tom Pope this week.
Along with forty other teams, my mother, the Lib Dems, Simon Cowell and the casting agent for Les Miserables. Come down to Sneyd Green in The Potteries and you can meet the man! He will stay till the end of the season at least, because he wants to get HIS TEAM into League One and as a vale fan would love to break the season's scoring record (having already broken the fastest to 20 and 25 for Vale). I know he might not do either, but as a Valiant through and through he wants to try.
Hmm, I reckon he's a bit too old for Clough. His transfer policy seems to be investing in youth, whereas Pope is 27 if I recall. Might do a job though. {Ed034's Note - maybe but he cheap and from the lower leagues, which is what Clough looks for
14 Jan 2013 19:53:54
Millwall are signing jerome thomas for 950k
and his on his way down to south london and the deal should be done by wednesday

Will never happen
Scouting winger is understandable, no chance westwood

Dundee Utd will look North for a replacement manager should Peter Houston leave for Blackpool.
Former fans favourite Jim McInally currently at Peterhead is the man Utd Chairman Stephen Thompson wants should Houston go.
14 Jan 2013 19:01:45
Stoke could be really short on fire power by the end of Jan Jones wants to go to Swansea, Jerome wants to move anywhere that he's guaranteed a starting place, crouch is set on a move closer to London and Owens fitness is a problem tp really wants to bring in zarate who is interested but would prefer a bigger club tp is also monitoring Charlie Austin and bechio who are both in demand
Pulis would not sell all his strikers without having replacements in place first
There is no way Pulis would sell 3 strikers in 1 window. Besides; Pulis' transfer policy for strikers has always been 1 out for at least 1 in.
14 Jan 2013 18:56:43
No surprises but Bale has been the subject of repeated offers, to the point that the club is concerned that Bale will become unsettled further.
No one has yet matched the £50+ asking price but one club, believed to be Real, has offered £40 million, payable over 5 years. This is typical of most transfers and certainly typical of the way European clubs structure deals.
Levy has rejected the bid but AVB has been warned to find a replacement in the summer.
50 quid? Il tell Warnock about that I think leeds could maybe afford it
14 Jan 2013 18:56:28
watford to sign tabb and perea soon
Perea is signing for Udinese then immediately loaned to Watford. Should go through in the next few days.
Tabb certainly fits the profile of what Watford are looking for and he's been told he can leave Reading. Could actually happen.
No it can't Tabb is not good enougth for Watford, Watford have a much stronger team than Reading do so why would one of there reserve players join?
14 Jan 2013 18:52:06
Brighton midfielder Jake Forster-Caskey will sign for Shrewsbury Town on loan.
Wont as we have so many midfielders
Jon Taylor tweeted saying there has been contact with crystal palace but is happy at Shrewsbury and quickly deleted his tweet
14 Jan 2013 18:46:32
Zaha will sign for Man Utd next Monday. The deal should have been completed earlier but for Arsenal trying to persuade Zaha to move to London.
Zaha has decided on a move to United but WILL NOT be loaned back to Palace. Quite how Holloway thinks he can influence deals is bizarre.
Zaha has no intention of staying at Palace. He wants to go straight in the Premier League.
The fee is £10 million, payable over 3 years and a further £4 million in clauses. It is possible that Man Utd might loan players to Palace. But that depends on those players agreeing to a move
Zaha already lives in london
14 Jan 2013 21:48:12
How can Arsenal be trying to persuade someone who lives in London to move to London??
CP1
Never seen someone make up so much trash since perhaps the start of the transfer window actually. Just some arrogant Manchester United fan, thinking that smaller clubs will be pushed over.
To start with, we wanted 20 million, but appear to be willing to go down to 15, but we also wants clauses on top of that, as well as Zaha to be loaned back for the season. As for your comment about Holloway influencing the deal, he's the manager of Crystal Palace. We have as much, if not a greater say of the deal that what United have.
14 Jan 2013 17:28:45

West Brom look like possible destination for Seb Coates on loan from liverpool
Well it would be a good thing if he went there, he can get some playing time and he knows Steve Clark from when he was assistant at Liverpool so i would let him go on as well.
14 Jan 2013 18:25:35
St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas has been told he has the funds to bring in one player in January and is considering trialists Gordon Muir and John Hamilton this week.

Nick Chadwick looks set too leave Plymouth Argyle and join Nuneaton Town, after bein told by Sherdian he will not play. A loan move is more likely, with a permanent deal too follow in the summer.
14 Jan 2013 18:14:20
stoke city will try and hijack west hams move for blackburns Swedish left back Martin Olsson by bidding 4million and loaning out Jamie Ness and Maurice edu to gain match fitness until the end of the season
Reckon this might be a good move by Stoke if they can pull it off. Olsson is a quality left back (Although Aly Cissokha would be better). I still think Ness has potential to be special, just needs more 1st team action.
14 Jan 2013 17:47:52
Watford FC are set to sign Brayan Perea On loan from Udinese for 6 months, He won't come with a option to buy at the end unlike the other loan signings. Udinese recently signed the forward in a co-ownership deal with Deportivo Cali.

14 Jan 2013 17:54:14
I've heard that Tom Ince will be on his way to SA1 after talks with Liverpool broke down, we have placed a 7 million bid in for him. Also Lamah is set to sign in the next few days, after Laudrup was impressed by the winger's talent.
I think the bid is more likely to be about 4/5 million for Ince.
14 Jan 2013 17:45:54

14 Jan 2013 17:25:09
Walsall giving trials to Andrew haworth and jacob morgan. They will also sign Craig Westcarr and Chris Zebroski as their promotion push gathers pace.
Andrew haworth is a waste of time, acts like ronaldo and doesn't put no effort in but then doesn't score goals and doesn't get assists, might aswell set up with 10 men
14 Jan 2013 17:23:36
WBA Linked with Ibisevic from stutgarrt and denis
from atlanta to add some firepower, also samuel inkoom for defence, only graham dorrans is available to leave
14 Jan 2013 17:19:53
Brayan Perea to sign for Watford fc.......He is about to sign for the family !! Love being a Hornet !!
You love being a feeder club?
Another player they don't own
14 Jan 2013 20:19:25
Great player, also love the hornets
Im proberly wrong about this but i thought you were only aloud 5 players on loan?
Udinese and Watford are owned by the same people. All the players on loan are to be transferred permanently if we want to keep them. So I don't see how people can say we don't own the players. Also the Pozzos have said that Watford are their top priority, hence the reason why all the players are coming in our direction and not the other way round. The free movement of players between the three clubs in the group is all part of the plan to speed up development of players.
We're a feeder club... that's why we just signed Forestieri permanently? People don't realise that before with our broke/corrupt owners we sold every good player we had every year... and the money disappeared. At least with Udinese we are going places, play attractive football and are getting good players, not selling them on before it benefits us. Ultimately in the Premier League we will pay our dues back to Udinese...
14 Jan 2013 17:19:06
Wigan to sign djibrill cisse from Qpr for 2 mil
Ill drive him up to you, no charge
Could see this!
Ha ha Hilarious, We couldn't afford his hefty wage he's on at QPR.
14 Jan 2013 16:50:20
Now Bristol city have appionted Sean O Driscoll as new head coach he is going to sign Nathan Tyson, Louis Mcgugan and the deal for Kyle mcfazdean is still on while Jon stead will be heading the other way
Mate lewis never played for us when odriscoll was manager... he wanted to get rid during january so i highly doubt he will make a move for him
That would be weird since he dropped Mcgugan when at Forest and Mcgugan lost all his form under him this season!
14 Jan 2013 16:47:10
Experienced Reading midfielder Jay Tabb is interesting Gianfranco Zola at Watford
We have Abdi, Hogg, Battocchio, Eustace (just about), Murray and a resurgent Mark Yeates. Do we really need Jay Tabb? Especially if there was a fee involved?
14 Jan 2013 16:14:53
Anthony Wordsworth is set to join Ipswich Town from Colchester United.
Due to numerous interest from Championship Clubs Ipswich Town are the 1st Club to actually put in a bid (200k), unlike others who want to snap him up at the end of the season on a free.
The Lad had a bollocking from the U's chairman who called him an ungratefull little s**t, and said he owed the U's some respect for all they have done for him over the years, so expect a signature pronto, and £200k going to the U's
14 Jan 2013 15:30:41
vydra signing on a perm at watford deal to be done by friday and so will forestieri, abdi, ekstrand and pudil. 5 world class players
Looks like Saints & Arsenal are interested in his signature as well, so the Hornets could lose out, never mind there's plenty more at Udinese lol
5 'world class' players, signing for WATFORD, to play in the 2nd tier of English football?! Whatever next? ......... 'Messi to sign for Bolton '??
World class?? lol
If they were world class they wouldn't be playing for watford
Forestieri just signed 1 down 4 to go
He can only sign for Watford at this stage as he's on loan for now, and unless there's a clause his loan can't be terminated midway through a season long loan.
Besides, he's said only a couple of weeks ago he wants to stay at Watford
No there not, they have already signed for Watford, they signed months back, there just finishing off the paper work and its done.
Seriously who makes this up. Star striker with massive future ahead of him going to move from Udinese to Southampton? Sure ( roll eyes )
We have first option to sign the players. Why? Because we have the same owners.... Arsenal would have to bid a massive amount of money that would suit owners who buy cheap and sell big at the right time. Makes more sense for him to stay at Watford then if he outgrows us sell in the Premier League.
14 Jan 2013 15:26:31
Huddersfield Town are set to loan in former England international Jay Bothroyd until the end of the season; after impressing manager Simon Grayson whilst he was on loan at Sheffield Wednesday earlier in the season.
He impressed Simon Grayson? Are you sure? He was absolutely shocking for Wednesday. He scored 1 goal in about 15 games. If you want a 3 goal a season striker I suppose he's your man.
14 Jan 2013 21:22:52
We do not want any more loan players. I want committed players who belong to the club.
14 Jan 2013 16:10:06
Bakary Sako of Wolves is wanted by Leeds Utd but Qpr are leading the chase.
He only recently signed a permanent contract. That was only because Everton & Swansea were sniffing around him. Make a good one up if you are going to lie.
He signed a contract at the start of the season he aren't going nowhere i think your on about tongo doumbia if your going to put rumours up
Make sure you got the right player
14 Jan 2013 16:04:19
Hearing that Man Utd striker Federico Macheda would welcome the chance to prove himself on loan away from Old Trafford has silenced the doubters that the deal involving himself as part of a deal to Crystal Palace fc to secure Wilfried Zaha to Manchester United.
Yes that be a nice deal, man you please rap zaha up because i hate arsenal and would like for us to get better players on loan like Macheda or possibly nani(Nani rumour was on tv so don't comment badly)
14 Jan 2013 15:59:29
Tony Mowbray is considering a bid for the £3,000,000 priced Bristol city winger Albert adamoah. Boro still have the joe Bennett funds to spend on a tricky winger

VALLEY boss Chris Powell has admitted the Addicks will consider offers for striker Bradley Wright-Phillips during this month's transfer window.
Source: News Shopper
Yes is a loan target for Gillingham
14 Jan 2013 15:10:28
FULHAM'S Karim Frei and Leicester's Jeffrey Schlupp are on Charlton's shortlist of left wingers.
Addicks boss Chris Powell is keen to strengthen on that flank and is also a big admirer of Andros Townsend at Tottenham.
Schlupp has been a long-term target of the South Londoners and has not featured for the Foxes since November 27.
Turkish international Frei made 16 appearances for Fulham last season but injuries have slowed his progress in the current campaign and he did have a loan spell with Cardiff in November.
QPR wideman Hogan Ephraim, who had a successful spell on loan last season, is believed to be keen on a Valley return.
Charlton are also understood to have made a loan approach to Bolton for their England U21 international Marvin Sordell.
Source: SLP
Wouldnt mind any of those mentioned really - Although Wagstaff deserves a chance first.
14 Jan 2013 21:52:58
schlupp is wat Charlton need but we won't get him
14 Jan 2013 14:57:44
Cameron Jerome on the verge of signing a 3.5 year deal with osasuna worth around £4.25 million
Also Southampton looking to sign former player Peter Crouch on 3 year deal for an undisclosed fee
Can't see saints signing Crouch back, or Stoke letting him go for the sort of money Southampton would be willing to pay. I know they have a lot of money but I can't imagine they'd want to spend any more of it on a striker with Lambert, Rodriguez, Lee and Mayuka available for them. Even while Mayuka is on international duty.
Osasuna could never afford £80,000 a week, very few spanish clubs could
Ever heard that saying "Too many chiefs not enough indians?"
Southampton would be stupid to buy crouchy back
Maybe the 'Southampton Way' is too play open football but always try to score. 1 more than we concede to sneak results?
Crouch isnt good enough with his feet, and is a target man, totally against the Southampton style.
Atleast Rickie Lambert can play.

Swansea are interested in bringing Man City's Scott Sinclair back to the club for the rest of the season, . The only stumbling block are his hefty wages.
14 Jan 2013 20:16:08
Sinclair, showed his abilities in the championship.He is not apremier player full stop. chased the money .... now a failed sportsman.
No way would we sign back sinclair now going to have way too many wingers ..he can stay and rot on the bench for man .c
Never in a million Sundays .
14 Jan 2013 23:07:23
the actual real stumbling block will be the fact mancini has lots of injuries and problems with the african cup and so on.. so won't be letting no players out on loan, get real
14 Jan 2013 14:42:27
We understand due to La Gaceta (popular spanish newspaper), that Fernando Torres has handed in a formal transfer request. However, Rafa Benitiez may be reluctant to let him leave unless the fee is half of what the club paid for him back in January 2011. It is rumoured Athletico Madrid want to bring him back 'home'. He could prove to be the perfect replacement, should Falcao leave later in the month.
14 Jan 2013 14:36:04
Middlesbrough are casting their eyes toward promising 19 year old HÃ¥vard Nielsen as he continues to impress for Salzburg. It is believed negotiations won't begin until the summer due to him having only recently signed for the Austrian club.

How this for a rumour, Have just heard paul lambert of Aston villa will get the chop and Nigel pearson of leicester WILL take over you heard it here first
Things are bad but that is beyond belief
I think that will be a fantastic appointment, hope that happens, he will improve chances of us staying up no end.
I could well believe it. pearson will go anywhere if the money is better
Haha highly doubt that

Iker Casillas is a suprise transfer target for Arsene Wenger after falling out of favour with Jose Mourinho.
Unlikely, Wenger views szechney as long term keeper {Ed001's Note - except that he has already tried to buy Reina since he became first choice! Clearly he does not have faith in his current keepers.}
Laughable. Open secret that Mourinho who has fallen out of favour with the Madrid board and is packing his bags in the summer whatever happens, so why would St Iker leave?

Arsenal set to sign Athletico Madrid's Adrian Lopez in the next 7- 10 days
14 Jan 2013 14:17:53
Town need to actually sign some players instead of all these loans. release players like tom clarke, alan lee, oscar gobern, and anton robinson to get extra money and bring in some quality players. sign hammill, vaughan, danns, and a few more and we'll be promotion condenters
To get rid of those players will cost a fair amount of money in itself so they have to be sold, but no one will want someone like robinson who is hugely over paid.
a few permanent signings won't make us promotion contenders. we are no were near good enough yet
14 Jan 2013 18:54:03
we won't be promotion contenders even if we get a few more players in. we gotta aim for midtable. and no one will take any of those players, they are on way too much and won't take a pay cut

Plymouth Argyle are set to announce the loan signing of Enoch Showunmi. He will sign on loan until the end of the season.
14 Jan 2013 14:13:04
New Barnsley manager David Flitcroft is wanting to add a number of new faces to his side.
It is set to be reported that goalkeeper Luke Steele will turn down a new contract and seek a move away from Oakwell. Derby stopper Frank Fielding and West Brom goalkeeper Luke Daniels are two targets if things goes sour with Steele.
Flitcroft is wanting to bring a defender into his side to start organising. It is thought England under 21 defender Craig Dawson will be at Oakwell for talks over a loan deal until the end of the season. The West Brom player is out of favour at The Hawthornes at the moment.
With midfield competition limited due to a number of loan deals expiring, Bradford player Will Atkinson is interesting the new Barnsley boss. The former Plymouth loanee has a pedigree in League 2 and 'Flicker' believes he has what it takes in the Championship.
A striker will join before the Ipswich game at the weekend, expected to be Chris O'Grady. Barnsley have been after O'Grady for a while and could tempt rivals Sheffield Wednesday with an offer today or tomorrow.
Another forward subject of interest from the club is Rio Ave attacker Tope Obadeyi. The 23 year old hasn't featured much for the top flight Portuguese side and could sign for a nominal fee.
Meanwhile, defender Tom Kennedy will sign a new two and a half year deal at Oakwell after impressing initially on a short term deal.
Fielding would be a good buy for you, can see you getting him around the 700k mark as he has fallen out of favour at derby and is too good for a championship bench
No chance of getting Will 'messi' Atkinson he has won over the majority of bradford fans and he won't move

We won't pay for a player as we have just given Jose Baxter a long contract so would have to be on loan.
Club won't spend all the CUP money as most of it will go back into the club as that's how we survive.
Jabo is signing for Colchester
14 Jan 2013 22:32:58
May as well go everyone else is, wish the chairman would put his hand in his pocket Abit more, can't see us getting out this league at the minute, then expect to lose all the big names come what may, ,consernedfanhere
14 Jan 2013 13:48:54
Portsmouth set to sign on loan Kevin Long and Wes Fletcher from Burnley
Beleivable.. but would rather see kevin long stay
I think Kevin longs quality. He could easily do well at burnley
Loved Kevin Long at pompey But don't know Wes Fletcher
14 Jan 2013 13:48:21
Norwich City will announce the signing of DJ Campbell for a fee of 500k in the next 48 hours. He will sign a 2 and a half year contract.
Not going to happen, not good enough for the prem.
No thanks we need someone better than him.
14 Jan 2013 18:01:05
i doubt it
I think not. No chance. He's wanted by Ipswich (that thing south, south east to us).
14 Jan 2013 18:33:20
Nonsense
Hopefully this is a cruel joke.
And Paul Jewell as manager is included in the move, in other words no this isn't happening
We don't want Dudley Junior!
Hope not we can do much better than has been
14 Jan 2013 19:52:14
I hope not, don't need him, Vaughan is better and he has been loaned out!
DJ Campbell he is 31 why would we waste 500k on him?
14 Jan 2013 13:39:12
Peter Houston set to be blackpools new manager after successful talks with Dundee utd good appointment I reckon
Europa leugue qualification twice, scottish cup and scottish assisstant manager not the worst cv in the world
14 Jan 2013 13:32:38
Reading's Jay Tabb to Watford
14 Jan 2013 13:29:02
Local rumour over here is that Sparta Prague outcast Tran Sverumbargo is heading to England. Crystal Palace could be one destination although Administration threatened Birmingham City looks more likely!
14 Jan 2013 13:20:40
Cardiff City and Rotherham scouts at the Pirelli stadium on Saturday, both expecting to make bids for top scorer Calvin Zola.
Notts County will renew their interest in Burton striker Matt Paterson following his 'screamer' to win the game on Saturday.
Jay Tabb will sign with Charlton Athletic on loan till the end of the season.
Tom Pope considering a move to Hull City.
Zola and pato are going nowhere
Unfortunately money talks, and both Zola and Paterson are becoming sought after. Tabb I believe may well end up at Watford and Tom Pope's had a good run, but L2 maybe L1 his limit.
14 Jan 2013 13:20:34
Portsmouth set to sign QPR U21 startlet Frankie Sutherland on loan. The striker will link up with the club in the next few days. Nigeria international Sam Sodje one of four new trialists at Portsmouth training ground today.
Portsmouth don't even have a training ground haha!
We supposed to sign Sutherland last transfer window but fell through as deal want done in time or something
I did here that sodje was on trial. he is 33 now but has a lot of experience.
14 Jan 2013 12:56:20
Rotherham's Ben Pringle has recently been watched by a host of clubs including Peterborough, Swindon, Sheffield United and Huddersfield and Rotherham are bracing themselves for a fight to hang onto one of their top players
I presume that this is a joke, following Miller's condemnation of Town for pursuing Aberdeen' Ryan Fraser.
14 Jan 2013 12:16:50
Rotherham boss Steve Evans to make a transfer bid for Northampton target man Adebeyo Akinfenwa in a bid to boost the South Yorkshire sides promotion push. Evans has grown tired of the lack of goals from current millers forwards Alex Revell and summer signing Kayode Odejayie and see's journyman Akinfenwa as the perfect foil for top scorer Daneil Nardiello
14 Jan 2013 12:12:03
Motherwell have accepted a 200k bid for winger Chris Humphrey from Shrewsbury Town. {Ed034's Note - wasn't humphrey being looked t by a few championship clubs? a good signing if it comes off
Absolute tosh.....ex town player and he ain't ever coming back...
HE is very fast, but he is poor! {Ed034's Note - no swearing please
Very unlikely as he was stolen from us for no compensation in the first place.
14 Jan 2013 12:00:27
Fleetwood Town have agreed to take Brandon Zibaka on loan from Preston North End. The young striker impressed Graham Alexander during his time as Preston Youth team manager, and a deal until the end of the season is set to be completed this week
14 Jan 2013 11:46:03
COMPLETED: Sunzu to Reading
14 Jan 2013 11:45:02
Callum Bennett is set to join Colchester United on a 18 month contract within the next 2 weeks
14 Jan 2013 13:30:47
Francis Jeffers currently training at PNE will be offered a deal till the end of the season, another master-stroke by Westley to go with Trundle.
14 Jan 2013 16:55:24
Memo to the Preston board, please get rid of Westley before he can do any more damage to our club. We already have too many poor players on the books, we are in free fall & heading for League 2. Or is this the plan to have this squad assembled for League 2 next season?
14 Jan 2013 13:01:43
Charlton are set to sign tabbs from reading
Can't belive reading are letting him go. He looked there beat player
14 jan 2013 12:59:01
following the excellent show produced by swindon`s matt ritchie last saturday, bournemouth have yet again made an enquiry for the player.
expect the offer to be rebuffed but a higher offer( and one that may be accepted) to be made before the end of this week.
This again? I'm a Bournemouth fan and was at the game Saturday, Ritchie looked very good but I'm pretty sure this move will never happen!
AFCBRich
Hate this rumour, don't want him
Haaa haaaa, you HAVE to be joking. Keep him at Swindon we have far better players who can't get in the team thanks very much... UTCIAD
This is we're Swindon fans start crying at this rumour
What excellent show & we don't need him
I seen him out in bmth sat night he said he wasnt enjoying his time here as much as he did at bmth and hinted at a return
Funny one I thought Richie was our weakest player and a little off than usual.
Thompson, Williams or Rafa De Vita when he came on had great games.
I'm a Pompey fan but Ritchie would never take a big step down to Bournemouth. Pompey dave
I thought he was poor considering all the hype about him you can keep him as far as i am concerned
14 Jan 2013 20:49:03
Same old stuff, if its not Benson its Ritchie, next week who will be up for grabs at a higher offer. Read the papers, listen to the man, nobody in the squad is for sale, end of.
14 Jan 2013 12:02:04
Preston midfielder Andy Procter is set for a loan move to Port Vale. It is though Preston are making room on the wage list to sign Morecambe player Kevin Ellison.
PNE fan site have a thread "Is Proctor our worst midfield player ever?" Quite a few think so. I know he was good at Accrington and had a season where he secored into double figures, but is he better than what we have i wonder?
14 Jan 2013 11:46:00
QPR will again try to sign Brede Hangeland this month, the C/B is keen on the switch.
Also expect Rangers to try and sign Kevin Doyle from Wolves.
Why does this rumour keep coming up? Brede is captain of Fulham and a fan favourite why would he go to a team who look set to have a very tough battle to avoid relegation. He would gain very little if he moved and risk a lot in the process. Plus he has been linked with the top teams so why go to a team currently at the bottom?
"We only have three strikers" Dean Saunders, can't see Doyle going if we only have three strikers .
Qpr should get championship players as that's where they will be
That's what i don't understand, he says we only have 3 strikers....
Sigurdarsson, doyle, SEB, Cassidy..
By my calculations that's 4..
14 Jan 2013 11:22:35
American outfit DC United have offered Keiran Dyer a one and a half year deal reportedly on a $45.000 a week contract.
14 Jan 2013 11:54:43
Reports from Norwich board Steve Morrison will be allowed to go talk to Celtic board about a transfer there in exchange for hooper plus cash. Apparently Morrison will be allowed to talk to board and if happy Norwich will make a bid for the Celtic striker hooper belived to be 5m plus player.
Ben
Why would celtic want morrison ? i would prefer if we have to sell hooper use some of the mney to bring in danny graham of swansea
I'd drive morison up there and bring hooper back and pay for my petrol and pay for hooper to stay a night and talk to norwich tomorrow!!
Gary Hooper is staying till the summer he want's to play in the Juve games, get it in your head Hooper isn't signing for Norwich or anyone in this transfer window.
Why would celtic won't Steve Morrison he wouldn't even get on the bench for celtic
14 Jan 2013 17:02:12
As a Norwich fan He is the same as Danny Graham but Welsh
14 Jan 2013 17:12:00
would certainly show lack of ambition by Hooper, a mid table EPL club wth no prospects of winning anything, never mind playing in Europe and in front of 60000 every other week, Norwich are not a big club, Hooper should only move if one of the bigger clubs come calling
anyway no swap deals, 10 mill at least
And how do you know? Just a hopefully celtic fan maybe??
14 Jan 2013 19:34:16
I would love to get Steve Morrison at Celtic big strong powerful striker someone that we need and then get a worker of a striker to go belong side him someone like Craig mackail smith
14 Jan 2013 19:52:10
And that's what 1p5wich fans said about Connor Wickham
^
Because you played in europe once doesnt mean it will happen again....it also doesnt mean it will not happen...but seeing as all of your hopes rest on Grant Holt I think it is highly unlikely...so Hooper will not leave Celtic for a fingers-crossed hope to stay up relegation battle engrossed team such as yourselves.
Plus Hooper already played in the Championship so I don't think he wants to again cause that is where your club is headed sooner or later...why not try to hijack NewCastles move for Remy? as there is a better chance of that happening.

Jamaal Lascelles is on the verge of joining Cheltenham on loan from Nottingham Forest.
14 Jan 2013 11:50:11
Steve Morrison of Norwich city has been spotted several times around the Celtic football club maybe cash plus player swoop for Gary hooper for Norwich city, Celtic belive to be happy to accept bid plus player.
You really think Celtic are interested in a Norwich City bench warmer?
We go for talent and then clubs down south try to buy these players while english football fans slag the SPL. Ironic.
Do any of these EPL clubs do their own scouting or just watch lesser leagues and throw in low ball offers when they know that they missed the boat on a player? get real and pay up!

14 Jan 2013 11:46:20
Crystal palace fc to take local boy nigel reo coker on a short term deal to replace the injured Owen garvan.
He left Ipswich because they only offered him a 12 month contract so why would he sign a short term contract now??
Right? No you guys ofeered him till the end of the season, 5 months not a year mate. Whereas Palace will ofeer him longer if its true.
Because palace are better than ipswich and he has a better chance of winning promotion
Because he is a london boy my friend
14 Jan 2013 18:34:06
Alright if you like a player that can only pass sideways, he's tosh, absolute waste of space, owen garvan is 10 times better than Coker
14 Jan 2013 10:16:25
Abiola Dauda of Kalmar FF is linked with Crystal Palace after he announced his intentions to leave Sweden. Duada scored 14 times for the Allsvenskan side last season.
Free agent Dawda Leigh is also linked with Palace after previously playing in Norway, but they face competition from Bolton and Wigan. Holloway is a fan of Leigh and may use the clubs Norwegian routes in Jonathan Parr, in an effort to try to tempt him to Selhurst Park.
14 Jan 2013 11:19:20
Qpr have made an offer of £2.8m to bring former Blackburn defender Christopher Samba to Loftus Road from Russian club Anzi.
He is playing well for them and they paid 10million so no chance
I've heard big sam is enquiring too as they worked together before at Blackburn.....watch this space!
And the rest maybe another 4 million plus
14 Jan 2013 11:06:26
apparently the astori deal has fell through!player wanted a bigger wage than we could offer.milan will get there man now!
There are no reports to back up your claim, so I take with a pinch of salt.
You clearly know nothing about the deal. It wasn't a case of personal terms yet. Milan have first refusal. They can't afford him but want him so want to offload Abate for around 8+mill euros, until they defo can't take him we won't even get a look in to sorting the deal. If they haven't accept a bid from us, which they can't, no way personal terms have been discussed.
14 Jan 2013 11:05:45
Newcastle will sign a defender in the next week but will also lose full back Danny Simpson.
Sheffield United player Harry Maguire is set for a £3.5 million deal. The 19 year old has been linked with the Geordie side over the last few weeks and could sign a four and a half year deal.
Danny Simpson will leave after a long dispute over his contract. German champions Borussia Dortmund are chasing the former Royal Antwerp loanee.
He was linked to Newcastle last January for a £3.5 Million deal, not this season. Besides the Blades have recently put a £10 Million price tag on Harry so he will not go for £3.5 Million.
IJA
14 Jan 2013 11:04:29
Billy Davies will replace Graham Westley and will be given funds to bring in new players at Pne, Trevor Hemmings was left seething at Deepdale yesterday, after witnessing another poor display. Westley is out of his depth and its thought Hemmings will act swiftly before the Jan transfer window closes this month.
Billy Davis brought in a number of bad players to the club, true supporters would not have back.If is so good why is he still out of job {Ed034's Note - so if you want him back yo are not a true supporter. what you mean is if you do not want him back, you have a different opinion to yours.
14 Jan 2013 11:01:19
Charlton manager Chris Powell is in talks with two players over potential moves this window.
Coventry midfielder Adam Barton is subject of an undisclosed bid from Powell and despite City manager Mark Robins being reluctant to sell, a move to the Championship may be to hard to resist for the 22 year old.
Preston striker Iain Hume, who is currently on loan at Doncaster will hold talks with Powell before the weekend and could sign for as little as £100,000.
I think ull find Hume can't go anywere as he's on loan till the en of the season
Adam Barton's not leaving he's important to us. Charlton Athletic don't there now where near the relegation zone.
14 Jan 2013 21:13:59
Funny Iain Hume has 18 months on his contract left at Preston north end think he will command a fee bigger than a meagre 100k.
14 Jan 2013 10:57:00
Luciano Bechio is wanted by Leicester, the deal would be worth roughly about 1.5 million. The player has expressed an interest.
I heard this as well but I think its more he wants to move due to unhappy with Warnock tactics and the clubs decline. Think Leicester were one of a few clubs mentioned but having signed Wood I think he will end up at Norwich
14 Jan 2013 14:12:33
great signing this would be, but we have enough strikers
Won't be happening as he is closing in a premiership move to Norwich.
Don't know where he will go but one thing is certain, he will be leaving Leeds very soon
14 Jan 2013 17:54:37
i think he will go to wigan seeing as norwich and leicester already have better strikers in there squad
Won't be going anywhere for less than 5 mill, and certainly not to another championship side
14 Jan 2013 10:51:39
QPR are to see one player come in and one player leave Loftus Road.
Nottingham Forest striker Simon Cox will undergo a medical at Rangers after a deal just under £3 million was accepted late last night.
Leaving QPR is DJ Campbell. The former Hayes & Yeading striker has asked manager Harry Redknapp to leave as he feels he won't be getting much first team football. The 31 year old is in talks with Scottish club Hibernian over a loan deal until the end of the season.
Leaving Dudley Campbell yes but incoming is Doyle from Wolves
14 Jan 2013 18:38:46
DJ will be at Ipswich then, we have put a bid in two weeks ago, and he loves Ipswich
14 Jan 2013 10:47:49
Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway is wanting to add three more players to his squad before the end of the month.
One of those is a winger. FC Porto player Christian Atsu Twasam is close to signing a loan deal of which will be made permanent at the end of the season if they win promotion to the Premier League.
Holloway is keen on adding two strikers as well.
Young Australian striker Dylan Tombides looks to be joining on loan until the end of the season from West Ham.
Finally, Hungary international striker Marko Futacs will sign for a nominal fee. The former Portsmouth forward isn't happy with the amount of football he's getting at Leicester.

Alright just cuz you got Sean odriscol doesn't mean your going. Any where fast going no where going no where your Bristol city and your going no where
14 Jan 2013 10:40:31
Huddersfield have made a loan bid for Norwich and Wales striker Steve Morison. Morison is getting frustrated at the amount of football he's getting at Carrow Road and could sign on at Town until the end of the season.
Another player also joining Huddersfield is Darren Pratley. Pratley has been out of favour at times this year at Bolton and could also sign until the end of the season.
14 Jan 2013 11:34:01
think Morison will be leaving in this window but only if norwich succeed with hooper or someone else, however get in line with that one! there's probably 6 or 7 clubs who have expressed an interest. And i can see us wanting a 2-3m transfer to balance the books instead of a loan.
OTBC
Hope so, he is underestimated at Norwich and doesn't fit in to the type of football being played.good luck Moro!
Please take him.he is all yours he can have my roller skates to go on xxxxxx ncfc
We need to sign players not loan. Were just not good enough atm. Need young passionate player sho can secure us some wins not draws!
No chance! Why would we send you another of our strikers?
Moro is a good player look at the last 2 seasons, i hope he leaves as he aren't getting the support here, if hooper comes here i just hope the fans giv him some credit instead of sucking of holt!
good luck to moro i hope he dose well for him self
I can't see us selling moro realistically and i no alot of fans hate him for some odd reason he's our best sticker look at the last 2 seasons your all wraped up in holt who aren't done much lets face it and he's getting old who ever we buy i jsut hope the fans don't do the same to him as they have moro, soon forget holt ws willing to leave us last season
Sign somebody permanently, too many loans
No more fiipin loans
14 Jan 2013 10:37:46
Reading manager Brian McDermott is close to adding two players to his squad in this transfer window.
Blackpool defender Craig Cathcart is subject of an undisclosed offer and could sign a 18 month deal this week.
The other deal is thought to be Tunisian player Nabil Missawi. The striker will ink up for a week training thi sweek before a deal on Fridat. He plys his trade in Tunisia for AS Marsa.
Where on earth did you pull that random rumour from?
14 Jan 2013 10:06:16

Set to leave the U's is home-grown midfielder Anthony Wordsworth who could end months of speculation with a £200k move to East Anglian rivals Ipswich. Chairman, Robbie Cowling refuses to be drawn into rumours although he did confirm that no concrete offers have yet been made for the 24-year old.
Macheda on way to the Mk Dons {Ed034's Note - man utds macheda??
Macheda to MK Dons?? I can't see it happening. Be absolutely amazing if he did but if Macheda went out on loan it is more likely to be Serie A or the Championship....

Qpr to improve £2 mil bid for west broms
P. odemwinge
Bid of 3- 4 mil will seal the deal.
D. Cisse looks set to leave, back to his old club in Greece.
Harry also looking to capture D.GRaham( Swansea)
and another centre half probably hangeland from Fulham
Cisse going back to Greece, is it a free transfer because that's all they can afford in Greece.
Clubs in Greece have no money
Odemwingie to QPR - why should he not want to go to a massive club like QPR? Big crowds, fantastic stadium, hmmmm. Mind you it fits because QPR tend to attract players in it for the money as they look to boost their bank accounts before retiring. WBA are not selling. They are likely to buy a midfielder this transfer window and that will be it.
Hangeland? you wish
Yep couldnt agree more, he will only join for the money!
14 Jan 2013 08:05:14
Oxfords Peter Leven next in at Barnet
Definately no way....The fee would be 6 figures and his wage well beyond finances at Barnet. And we are not looking to get rid of players when we are now in a decent position to push on for play offs.Sorry, but this is a non starter........
Genuine rumours only please, not your fantasy.

Reading are looking at fulhams Chris Baird and celta Vigo forward iago aspas.also rumoured that felix stoppila sunzu is on his way.
The chris baird rumour came about because the papers knew we were in discussions with Fulham over a player. That player was Stephen Kelly. Iago Aspas is completely false we will never stump up over 8 million for a player. Sunzu is a definate possiblity, discussions have been ongoing since the end of last year regarding a transfer.

Dom Dwyer of Kansas in the mls and Jacob butterfield of Norwich are both set to join Huddersfield Town.
Dwyer, can't see it, he has had a trial in Scotland with St Mirren and nothing materialised and its a huge step from MLS to championship football. Butterfield, we have just signed Danns so why another midfielder.
14 Jan 2013 14:58:30
Mls stopped Dwyer signing on at st Mirren as they own half his contract, st Mirren were very keen to sign him during mls close season

Stoke are looking at the possibility of signing out of favour Valencia left-back Aly Cissokho for £4m after only appearing in a hand full of games for the spanish club.
I would love this to happen!
Pulis to sign a proper left back
seriously doubt it he'd sign messi and stick him at full back
What about that Saint-Etienne LB? Faouzi Ghoulam?
I'd rather Cissokha to Ghoulam.
14 Jan 2013 01:52:06
Peterborough United are once again Linked with Stevenages Luke Freeman although Borough want £800k to let him go which may put the posh off after spending over their means in the summer
Posh spent over their means so much they bought a 750k striker to replace the 1 million man who has an attitude problem and was a flop this season from a similar sized club.
Maybe we just won't pay that much again after being robbed on Barnett for an unproven player, who may not be worth the asking fee. (we've made too many mistakes)
I don't see where we spent money in the summer other than 1 big signing for half a mill, and we did sell several big players before this.
More likely it is the wage bill or player wage demands, along with unrealistic valuations
Pboro have ended there interest in luke and won't be signing him in january. they were keen at the start of the season but not now
14 Jan 2013 00:04:55

Rayo Vallecano captain Piti is subject of interest from three clubs after impressing during a very good half a season for the club.
The favourites to bag the in form striker appears to be Manchester United. The 31 year old has impressed Alex Ferguson this season and could cost the club just over £6 million.
Reading and Tottenham are also keen but have not yet heard back from the La Liga outfit over their enquiries.
6M for a 31 year old? No thanks.
U mean Sunderland, qpr and Norwich? Bit more believable now!

Birmingham are very close to signing Oldham full back Jonathan Grounds.
I highly doubt that, but if you want to pay for him you can have him
He signed a two year deal in january, signed from middlesborough who were never playing. Why would Birmingham want him? Better question: why would he want to go back to warming the bench?
Ridiculous rumour
