if liverpool sign podolski is he will obviously play him on the left wing.carroll is long term and team to be built for two tactical systems.1 system for carol and 2nd system for suarez also for 35 mill kk must see something in andy for that price.we are building a strong future team and using statistics and brains behind the scenes.the same strategy started years ago in american baseball with the oakland athletic baseball team.they built a team on bare minimum money using high statistic unfavoured and underated players buying them in cheap from other teams which almost won them a major league baseball final.everyone questioned ther tactics and they took half a season to pik things up and went on a 20 game win streak.the longest ever in history of baseball averaging $240,000 of team per game compared to ny yankees 1.4mill per game.thats were the boston red sox got there idea and brought in the guy that wrote the book wer it all stemd from on statistics on baseball players and getting the best from players which proved to work and brought them ther title back in early millenium.i think we r goin the same way.we dont throw around 40 and 50 mill on overated fancy players ,which im proud of we get value for money and i dont believe in fans putting players like downing,carrol,kuyt,adam etc down.we will get better and better and stronger while all the other top teams blow ther millions down the tubes.we just need time for team to gel.we play superb and culd score loads we just to fond of hitting woodwork wereas utd play crap and scrape a winner.

And you have heritage too pal! Not many can say that!!

Celtic will not sell hopper for under 6 million pounds.

Disappointing really as I am a saints fan

NO YOUR NOT

It's HOOPER unless you are talking about the little fat orange bouncy thing with eyes in the corner of the home changing room (but I don't think Gordan Strachan went back North)!

10 Jan 2012 23:17:50
Robbie Rogers set to sign for leeds afterhe has received his work permit.

10 Jan 2012 23:04:31
I've been a cherries fan for 22 years. Our new chairman has brought us stability, funds, ambition and good business sense. The whole club has been restructured from the burger seller in the car park now being club owned and bringing revenue in to the corporate contingent sponsorship which has trebled. If Ritchie came he would be a great addition to a team that is going places. When we faced financial difficulties we had to sell. Quite a few of our former players Ings, Bartley, Pittman, Vokes, Robinson, Hollands, Wiggins, Feeney, McQuoid etc... have left us in the last year and gone on to Championship sides - which shows the quality of players we had.

It's now our time to shine and I also hope Swindon do well as they have a great team, amazing Manager and fantastic fans. If you have to sell along the way to achieve then that's the way it is for now!

We are financially stable , and don't need to sell either. So f*** off and annoy someone else.

Jason puncheon does not want to be at the saints, could this mean a reading fc move?

No.


Way.

From a Norwich fan.

Your dreaming he's staying put
from a peterbourgh fan

I think everybody at southampton wants him to leave could be used for some swap deals

10 Jan 2012 22:33:43
Shane Long to sign for brum in a 1.4 million deal. Just seen on sky sports news.

10 Jan 2012 22:08:17
i see charlie austin quite alot in newbury in the hogshead having a beer..he cant wait to have a free wkend and come back down south..all his family live in hungerford so southampton is only 30miles away from there so rumours of him coming to saints is not far off the truth..and also he would be living in the beautifull berkshire downs playing for a big club with big ambitions once again..not living in a poverty stricken dive like burnley.. {Ed003's Note - Obviously you have never visited the Ribble Valley or Pendle}

Dude saints do not want him, burnley would want about 3 mil for him and he is not a 3 mil player, saints need to sign players to take them to the next level, all this nonsense is from the austin camp and he can try as much as he likes but saints are simply not interested... It will not happen

10 Jan 2012 22:21:59
As a Southampton fan I would like to say fair play to Bournemouth. They are starting to get up everybody's noses (especially Swindons) now they have Russian money. Having seen what they've been through over the years it's well deserved........ Fair play Bournemouth we might be finally starting to hear you down the road..... A tiny bit

I suspect a mischievous Swindon or burnley fan posted this

Dunno, a lot of Saints fans have a 'soft spot' for Bournemouth.

I like bournemouth there like a pet dog to the saints

10 Jan 2012 21:43:17
Is it true that Riordan played in a private trial game for Killie against Rangers having been released earlier? Any news of how he did?

Dont know all that I know is that Rangers won 4 1.

10 Jan 2012 22:08:18
Are blackpool definately gonna sign Jason puncheon {Ed003's Note - Not definately, but talks are ongoing after a 650k bid was turned down }

10 Jan 2012 21:54:41
betting has been suspended on gry chill to chelsea so mus mean he has signed and 90% sure smba will go to qpr
confiormation tommorow
cahill to chelsea and next week samba to qpr!!

10 Jan 2012 21:37:35
Charlie austin not settled in the north haha give over he is burnleys best player this season and jay rodriguez he wont leave burnley he is one of our own not unless its stupid amounts of money closer to 7 million and lastly marvin bartley again playing well at burnley why would he want to leave?? absolute garbage as for the cocky southampton "supporter" saying he has found his level burnley you are in the same league you tot and i dont recall you beating burnley? unless i'am wrong and its only a matter of time before it all goes pop and you are still in the championship next season

Wind it in burnley, we fear Bournemouth more than you zzzzzzzzzzz

Is that the bloke who is always injured?

10 Jan 2012 21:35:17
rangers have a scout looking at james vardy tonight ....on another note with performances of S.FLETCHER and JORDAN RHODES things are looking up for scotland 2 very good strikers {Ed003's Note - Fleetwood want £1m for Vardy and the player to be loaned back for the rest of the season ]

That rules out rangers then as they have no money and if they did would not loan him to the club when their forward line is in dire straits

Ally must be lying to us all then eh?When he says that he has money,if he sells players or not.Every time he is asked in interviews.The question is do we want to spend £1 million quid,on a non league player?If he was to come to us?When we could go for a goal machine like Ryan Donnolly at Airdrie for a much cheaper price.Bomber Brown is going to watch Vardy any how.Ally

10 Jan 2012 21:25:18
Tony Mowbray is apparently planning an ambitious £2,000,000 move for Liverpool right-back Martin Kelly.

Gary Cahill has finally agreed a 5-year deal with Chelsea moving for £7m from Bolton. Liverpool and Blackburn have agreed a £5m fee for David Hoilett. Arsenal have agreed what could be the biggest bargain in £3m Saloman Kalou from Chelsea. Bolton have made an ambitous £5m move for Porto's 18-year old winger Juan Manuel Iturbe.

10 Jan 2012 20:36:16
Heard from an ex-pro today that Rangers were trying to quietly sell Jelavic and Steve Davis but is now common knowledge and most clubs will only pay reduced fees. Kyle Lafferty was supposed to be sold as well but his injury has scuppered this and this means 1 or 2 others will go. He said Riordan is a real possibility and Sandanza and Davidson from St.Johnstone were main targets but there is a big difference in wage demands.

Why was Riordan playing against us for Kilmarnock in a bounce game last night then,and not for us?Ally

10 Jan 2012 20:27:45
morgan aint going anywhere

10 Jan 2012 20:24:07
Bournemouth to sign full Swindon team as they need some new ball boys

Is that supposed to be funny??? you either very, very immature or extremely sore losers. dont shame Bouremouth with your childish comments.

10 Jan 2012 20:11:07
Liverpool have opened talks with Blackburn over a £7m move for David Hoilett but they will have to fend off Tottenham,QPR and Bolton for his signature. Liverpool are tracking a number of players with a view to summer moves most of their targets are unproven youngsters who have great potential but potential is just potential unless it is fulfilled and I would prefer if they were moving for players around the age of 24-28 just coming into their prime. Liverpool are looking at Xherdan Shaqiri,Luuk de Jong and League 1 Huddersfield pair Jordan Rhodes and Alex Smithies while all have potential none of them are plying their trade against tough opposition on a regular basis Shaqiri while he looks good plays in Switzerland, de Jong has potential but again the Dutch league has produced as many Alfonso Alves's as Luis Suarez's, and the final pair play two divisions lower while I would like to see some of these at the club we need players who can slot straight into the team rather than buying for the future. Alberto Aquilani will likely complete a £6.7m move to AC Milan before the end of the season once the appearances clause is triggered. Joe Cole is still a very good player but I don't see him fitting back in at Liverpool with Suarez,Bellamy,Gerrard,Shelvey and Henderson all able to play in the hole I can't see him getting in there and he is not quick enough to play on the wings which is Liverpool's main problem in my opinion not enough pace and the first player they should sign is a fast winger hence Hoilett although i'm not convinced he will be good enough to hold down a first team slot. Joe Cole will likely leave next summer along with Dirk Kuyt,Maxi Rodriguez,Fabio Aurelio,David Amoo,Stephen Darby and Emmanuel Mendy so if we could move for players slightly more mature I would be pleased as during the summer we will probably see Chelsea sign Hulk, United sign Sjneider, Arsenal sign Podolski, Tottenham sign a top class striker and City sign one or two of the worlds best so will the likes of Hoilett,de Jong,Shaqiri,Rhodes and Smithies help us keep up I can't see it too be honest and I would like a few more ambitious moves in the transfer market.

10 Jan 2012 19:58:03
Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is believed to ready to make a £30m bid for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

10 Jan 2012 19:52:04
Kris Boyd to Leeds. I can't believe it either. What on earth will we shell out for his wages.
wally

10 Jan 2012 19:34:57
sorry but neil lives @ yealpton devon

10 Jan 2012 19:37:30
Could the deluded QPR fans please stop making up bs that your gonna sign Darren Bent let me ask you a question have you got 30m to spend on 1 player....... NO exactly

10 Jan 2012 19:28:18
what a load of piffel..anyway hes going to be star man under oniells management just wait and see

10 Jan 2012 19:23:46
After Jason puncheon's agent, tony flannigan has come out and said that southampton don't want/need the Winger a lot of clubs have been alerted. Blackpool have been slightly put off due to the asking price, which is believed to be around 1 million. Qpr did seem to be intrested but now mark Hughes is in charge, he has different transfer targets. Now a move to watford might be on the cards after a surge of money from owner laurence bassini.

10 Jan 2012 19:14:32
Jordan Rhodes is Nigel Adkins number 1 target for the saints during this transfer window. The club believe he will be the perfect foil for lambert, and will also work well when lambert is out of the team. Saints face fierce competition from west ham and a handful of premier league clubs, however the lure of first team football and the opportunity to help the south coast club reach the top flight could prove decisive. Watch this space!

Wat space is that then, the 1 between ya ears no doubt. Join the queue, i really dont think u wud b JORD'S first choice

10 Jan 2012 19:03:44

Gary Hooper will not leave Celtic in this window, hes 1 of only 3 fit strikers and is chasing a domestic treble, ask yourself why would celtic sell their top scorer midway through a season when they are chasing 3 cups? answers on a postcard....

Where is Modric, Silva, Aguero Rooney etc.

Turner will cost you between 5-7m and I can't see him going to southampton

10 Jan 2012 18:18:00
apparantly mccoist has spoke to craig whyte and is fuming because there is no cash for transfers. Even if jelavic goes mccoist will only get 1 mil 2 spend. Kris boyd was offered 10 grand a week but has said he wants the 18 grand he was offered before he left and wont budge so that 1 wont b happening.

10 Jan 2012 18:15:43
Sky Sports Understands That Brighton are going to make a move for Hull City's Striker Aaron McLean. As a Brighton Fan I think This would be a great signing!

10 Jan 2012 18:03:07
apparantly jelavic is unwilling to leave rangers for southampton in january incase they dont get promoted, the deal to qpr is dead as mark hughes has his own targets and jelavic not 1 of them. Jelavic will only go in january if an epl team comes in for him, maybe west brom if they can afford him but it looks like ther is a chance he will stay untill the end of the season. Also doubt rangers will pay 2mil for this spanish striker, sandaza or o'connor more likely with broadfoot and mackay heading for the championship. Sneaky feeling novo might sign a pre-contract although heard we might do a swap for ortiz..good bit of business if you ask me

10 Jan 2012 17:41:39
Demba Ba's Agent has said that Man Utd are Interested in Demba Ba

10 Jan 2012 18:07:48
Sunderland fan.

Never given a real chance at Sunderland.
Big favourite of fans.
BB.

Totally agree a proper heart on your sleeve footballer all the best nyron you did safc proud and good luck for the future

10 Jan 2012 17:08:13
There is a difference between Cardiff City and Brighton, Cardiff City are 3rd and Brighton are 13th. You see Cardiff City are a better club

10 Jan 2012 16:57:05
these are some players that leicester are rumored to be bringining in and i know some of them are stupid and not all of them are going to happen but if the owners are backing pearson with the money anything can happen

jimmy kebe
billy sharp
cameron stewart
robert snodgrass
jordan rhodes
jelavic
emile heskey
john fleck
chris humphrey

tom huddlestone
like i say i dont think many of them will come

U b luky if even 1 of them happens. Dream on crisp muncher

10 Jan 2012 16:56:10
small chance that Frank Lampard will move back to West Ham if they get back into the Premiership

10 Jan 2012 16:16:36
Carroll scored more goals than Torres played 11 less games cost 15 million less only reason Liverpool paid 35 million is because we received 50million from Torres and were desperate for a striker who at the time had scored 11 goals in 16 league appearances for Newcastle



Demba Ba stay at newcatsle till summer then will consider options most likely PSG

Kuyt on his way out
Liverpool to Enquirer on Podolski and Higiuen ( Doubt he will come)

Spurs to look ay every player that other teams want

10 Jan 2012 16:13:23
Could be a good career move for Doyle - the last keeper to make the step up from Brum to Watford was Tony Coton and it did wonders for him.

10 Jan 2012 15:31:23
Torres in a straight swap for Tevez.
Pavlyuchenko to Q.P.R for around £7million.
Wayne Bridge to Arsenal on a loan deal.
George Boyd to West Ham for £2million.
Tottenham and City will battle for Ajax defender Jan Vertoghen.
Billy Sharp to Celtic for £3million if Gary Hooper secures his move to Sunderland for £6million. O'Niell will also try to sign Heskey or if money is available will bring Kenwyne Jones back to the stadium of light.
Last but not least Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United as he is unhappy with the Madrid fans. Deal believed to be £50million plus Javier Hernandez.

CO2

Quite believable apart from tevez for Torres. Tevez hates England and wants to get out asap

Got some imagination you have

10 Jan 2012 15:31:07
AFC Bournemouth have bid rejected for crawley striker matty tubbs, but bournemouth have not ended interest with tubbs and ritchie to sign by the end of the week

10 Jan 2012 15:17:44
HAHA! Swindon Town bigger than Bournemouth? Right, not quite sure how you work that one out? Also, we've actually been in League 1 (Div 2) most of the time.
I can see why Ritchie would want to join a club like Bournemouth, a) we're challenging for a place in the Championship this year, b) we've got some money behind us, c) it's a great place to live (unlike Swindon, no offence), d) he'll earn more.
So, can only see one way this one going. He won't be easy to buy because Swindon don't want to sell, plus Di Canio is such an arrogant, disrespectful tosser, he suddenly thinks he's worth £2m!! Get real mate. Some of B'mouths best players went for peanuts when we were in League 1 and they made it in the Prem/Championship.
And on a seperate note, what was Di Canio on about getting a plaque for beating WIGAN!? They're a poor team and would struggle in the Championship. I seem to remember much bigger 'giant' killings...Bournemouth beating Man United anyone?
Anyway, good luck Swindon for rest of the season, though I doubt we'll be playing each other for a long time in the league.

Swindon are a bigger club than bournemuff..theyve got more history..bigger fanbase and some might say that the town is actually same size as most cities in england if not bigger...so if they were to become succesfull the fanbase is there..where as bournemuff it isnt..when poole pirates speedway is on at same time as football the attendance at bournemuff goes down 1 thousand...enough said

What a load of tosh!! Bournemouth is twice the size of Swindon you absolute tool! We don't get the crowds because we've been crap for so long, let's look at things now not the past, the hoddle era is over buddy and we are going places, the fans will come trust me, cheerio Swindon, we'll take Ritchie from you then say our goodbyes....... Championship bound.....

10 Jan 2012 15:01:25
What's the odds on Sparky trying to sign Tevez on loan they have the same agent and have worked together before! Watch this space

10 Jan 2012 14:43:18
Mark hughes is set to bring unsettled winger Adam Johnson from man city to QPR. He rates the winger highly and is looking for a possible loan/perminant deal

Why would A.Johnson want to go through relegation. QPR a little team who think there bigger than they are.

Darron Gibson to Everton (more than likely in the summer on a free) with Tim Cahill departing for Stoke.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tim Cahill is also wanted by a number of Australian clubs, mostly by Melbourne Victory to partner Harry Kewell in midfield


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tim Cahill is NOT going to Stoke. This is a rumour perpetuated by certain Stoke fans who seem to particularly pleased at the prospect and Liverpool fans who know that it annoys Evertonians. This is not meant as a slight to Stoke, who are clearly are clearly in the process of establishing themselves as an upper-middling Premiership team (whilst Everton's future is anybody's guess). I know that this is a rumour site and that 95% of what's written here won't happen but please, for everyone's sanity, can we please let this one drop?
---------------------------------
Stoke fans most definitely dont want Tim Cahill as we know that he is past it and he's not needed by us

10 Jan 2012 14:36:17
Stoke City are looking to bring in Dundee star Johhny Russell along with Michael Uchebo from VVV Venlo as they look to add pace to their strike lineup. The rumoured fee is 500K plus a deep-fried mars bar

Russell plays for Dundee Utd,has years left on his contract.And is good as David Goodwillie,who they got £2 million for,who was only on the last year off his deal.Russell is worth a lot more than half a million quid.Ally

10 jan 2012 14:20:08
has no one put 2 + 2 together and come up with carlos tevez for qpr??

tevez and his old boss mark hughes share the same advisor kia joorabchian

tevez at loftus road ...not impossible come tony fernandes hand in pocket

Like QPR are gonna pay his wage demands, i know there rich but there hardly forking out 20mill and then 200k a week, think things through.

Hi Ed, just wondered where the links to the other talk sites have gone? I kept "fishing talk" in my favourites list as I read it a lot, but I used to enjoy the other sites from time to time, & can't access them now. I'm sure the traffic on these sites has decreased without the links here. Thanks, Ed.
Toffee Tezza {Ed001's Note - I didn't know they were gone, will get them put back up mate.}

Cheers, Ed. {Ed001's Note - the links are now in a drop down menu next to the football sites drop down menu.}

Wolves had estimated 150k people on their open top bus parade for promotion in 2003.not bad for a team that nearly went out of existance in the 80's and have won nothing for 30 years. Proper loyal fanbase, and large one!

Not won anything for nearly 30 years. we won the sherpa van trophy in 1988 lol. dont think that realy counts though. but wolves and burnley while only in the lower leagues got 80,841 in Wembley which was more than england were getting at the time

That was yesterday ,try to drag yourself into the real world mate,you even call yourself a city but barely get bigger crowds than the boggies and they are a little town.

To the person who called Stoke's medical team "daft", my son is good mates with the club doctors son, and even though we desperately wanted to sign Ba he has a well documented problem with his knee. I was told if he get's a bad knock/tackle on that knee, his career is over,full stop.

So too risky to sign him.

If Messi takes a bad tackle his career might be over too, pretty feeble excuse if you ask me. I might get run over by a Bus this afternoon, i'm not going to stop crossing the road though.

Yes, but you can take out insurance against being run over by a bus, or knackering your healthy knee. You cannot take out insurance against knackering your knee if it is already f***ed.

10 Jan 2012 09:14:24
"A dont understand why you Stoke fans dont like Ba.. It was your daft medical staff that pulled the plug when thas claerly been nothing wrong with his leg."

- I never said I didn't like him - indeed, I would LOVE to see him smashing goals in every week like the Toon fans are. I merely implied that Stoke would probably be the last club Ba would now sign for following the acrimonious car-crash of an attempt to sign him when he first came to the UK. Personally, I don't think he will be going anywhere especially whilst Newcastle are doing so well.

He will go for the money probably the summer though see how his knee stands up to a game every couple of days in the africa cup

United's dressing room minutes before kick off in the derby. 'Right i want 150% effort against this blue s****e. Remember the b******s did us on the anniversary of Munich. If you don't win, those cocky f*****s at City will never let us live it down.Now i don't care if you kick. punch or head-butt your way to victory, you must win this. Good luck. Then Sir Alex walks in and says, 'Thanks ref, i'll take it from here'.

Why does everyone think Swansea are a poor team ? We have the 6th best pass % in Europe and are 11th in the EPL. Maynard Deal has a possibility of Dobbie going to Bristol City. Personally I think Blackpool want and need him with Shelvey gone

I am a Norwich fan and I certainly do not think Swansea are a poor team, on the contrary I believe you have a manager who has stuck to his principals of pass and move and play a very attractive brand of football, defensively you look spot on, and I believe a top striker would transform Swansea into a top 8 premier league club. Norwich also have a great manager who plays an attractive game however at times I feel we are over ambitious going forward, and consequently we sometimes get caught on the break and concede more goals than I would like.
In conclusion both clubs have worked wonders in the Premier league this season with limited funds and are have been a credit to the league, long may it continue.

How can your teams pass rate be higher in europe than the EPL...is england/wales not in europe?

Nor do I, I'm a Villa fan and you completely played us off the park a couple of weeks ago....would have won at the Liberty if Lita wasnt crap

09 Jan 2012 23:19:27
players Bristol City could do with out and reasons why

Hunt -hasn't played in god knows how long waste of wages and get paid for nothing or he could be given a spell of 5 games to redeem him self.

Lee Johnson - Been out on loan all season doing well and we now have Kilkenny so he is out of luck.

Stead - Injury prone never plays Pittman and Maynard are always going to be in front of him.

Taylor- we signed at the time we needed cover for stead but then played Pittman pointless signing and hasn't had a chance to do much just another one in the reserves.


Woolford - wasteful when he gets his chances to play only good game was at derby away this season needs to be dropped or sold.


Stewart - out on loan now another signing who could have been good but is too slow even if he is a center back Louis Carey has a lot more pace.

Riberio - young player who was out on loan needs a chance but is never going to make in city's first team time to sell.

Clarkson - another player who has been out on loan can be good on his day but he never has it just another striker on the books.

Spence - on loan to us needs to be played or go back city need to save money and he is just adding to the wage bill if he is not getting played.

what are you opinions ?
