By four four twos magazines calculations southampton are the 3rd richest club in england.

Even if we were in massive debt that wont mean we will do poorly look at Manchester United I dont se them crumbling and their debts are astronomical.

I am afraid sonko is now just another mercenary footballer more interested in money than actually playing football, extremely glad he rejected the offer because every time i have seen him play he just looks a liability on the pitch, a penalty/sending off waiting to happen.

From a Burnley fan, Burnley are not in debt. Our best player have not gone to Southampton, & and when you say you are one of the richest clubs in the Championship, How much is borrowed money, debt. and when you dont do as well as you think you are going to do, and players start to wine and winge, Just remember House built on Sand sinke, House built on solid rock stands.

the reason burnleys best players are going to southampton is because weve got ambition the players arnt stupid, i hope jay rod signs though he looks quality and good age too, as for the burnley fan calling us second rate when we got the best academy going bale, walcot, chamberlaine.. massive fan base and st marys stadium capacity to be doubled to 65k in next few years and were one of the richest clubs in england now, dont mean to go on but burnley spent 1 year in the prem in the last 35 years only arsenal man u and liverpool have better records for staying in the top div we did 27 years consecutive... {Ed003's Note -Another team from Liverpool may disagree with your stats}

If luis suarez has a great season as predicted,and liverpool dont qualify for next seasons champs league,he wont be staying,his agent will go looking for a better wage deal,which means he will speak with other agents and see what other clubs are willing to offer,agents generally use the media to do this,expect the same for nani,hernandez,silva or any other player who is having a half decent season.a agent signs a two year contract with his player,giving the agent two years to make money and securing a further two year contract with the player.

Jason Puncheon is set to sign for Blackpool in the near future. QPR are unwilling to pay the asking price and Newcastle have brought in Obertan instead. Due to the fact he is running out of options and is unwanted at Southampton to the point where he doesn't even have a squad number he will sign for £750k within the next week.

Any developments on the German CB international?

We just need one solid central defender (a future replacement for carragher) and we will be right there near the very top YNWA

.... my team for this saturday would be:

Reina
Kelly Carragher Agger Enrique
G.Johnson Adam Lucas Downing
Suarez carroll

1) johnson can be a great right winger / can use henderson there...

2) Miereles, Aquaman, Gerard to battle with adam, lucas and suarez for positions or alternate...

3) Skrtel for Carragher during the main campaign

just my two pence worth...

lpool will sign just one more top player this summer, and wil use the last of there budget in the january transfer window, there looking into sign a CB

liverpool are widely tipped to finish in the top4. but other then man utd fergy no other team took morer points then lpool once daligish took charge, with gerald and carroll injured for most of that time. since then lpool have added ADAMS, henderson, DOWNING and the newcastle lb Jose Enrique, also considering they have Alberto Aquilani back from loan, with the fact the youngsters who broke though to the first team will be better this term

also point out lpool have 4 players thaT WUD GRACE MOST TEAMS FIRST TEAM reina,gerald,carroll,Luis Suarez

its reguarded that the once mighty lpool cud again strengh forth and slapp there neighbours and fellow competors down {Ed025's Note - i think gerald is a great player...who does he play for??

Believable0 Unbelievable2

Gerald...haha. He cant even get his best players name right. Oh dear oh dear. Mega FAIL.

Whilst there may currently be a much publicised shortage of strikers at Leeds what has happened to Mike Grella who Grayson seems to have left to rot in the reserves. Yet he has shown in the past he has plenty of creativity as well as an ability to score crucial goals. What is Graysons problem? Why bring in someone on a short term loan whilst Bechio and Somma recover when the answer is under your nose Grasyon?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

I like grella but he is more of an inside forward, our playing system needs a big target man who can score goals.

Hello Eds- Comolli seems to rate Jose Enrique quite highly. I must admit I've not really seen him play - have any of you seen more of him and what do you think? {Ed001's Note - personally he is not someone I rate, he has pace and is excellent going forward but he has no positional sense, he reminds me of me nan when she got old and she would just wander around aimlessly without a clue where she should be. Very similar to Glen Johnson really, but left sided, and the coaching under Dalglish and Clark managed to get Johnson defending well so there is a lot of hope he can be a huge success.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Knowing old Charlie Comolli his brief was to get a centre forward and that is what he came back with.

Ipswich's hopes of landing Jimmy Bullard on a permanent basis have been boosted as it looks like Hull are talking with Bullard today to settle his contract.In other words this means that Hull are going to buy Bullard out of his 45-k-per week contract.

Don't be too sure about that Bullard the Wretch had a disciplinary at the club on Tuesday. Hopefully the snake will be sacked, then sued in the same way as Chelsea sued Adrian Mutu. The guy's a leach He's done nothing but cause trouble. Hopefully he'll be finished.
Allegedly, On the clubs pre-season training camp, returning to his hotel room with a Slovenian prostitute, then threatening threatening the clubs goalkeeping coach with words, along the lines of "in two years when my contract's up, I'm coming back to f*** you up", then turning up to a Tuesday night match in a taxi, from London, still pissed from the Saturday.
This is from a guy who regularly say's "It's not about the money, I just want to play football".
Poor old Jimmy, my heart bleeds for ya

So, the point of this is, don't expect him to be an everpresent, or professional, or anything a professional footballer should be, expect him to piss it up the wall when he should be training/injured (more often the latter) and expect him to bleed your club dry

This is just my opionon of will happen before the transfer window shuts.
first of all the out goings will be................

Aqualani To AC Milan.
Ngog To Bolton
Merlies To Inter Milan
Ayala To Norwich City
Wilson Loan Rangers
Cole To Spurs
Pacheo To Aletico Bilbao
Amoo, Suso, Eccelston, and Shelvey on loan (don't know who). Players like Poulson and Elzar will be very difficult to move on.

New Arrivals will be..................
Enrique.
Cahill
Sissoko
That will be it untill Jan. When it's possible we may bring in a striker and Left Winger.

The youngsters we will see more of will be .......
Sterling
Coady
Ngoo
Morgan
Sama
Flannagan
Robinson.

All in all a much more optimistic outlook than last season. I feel we will a trophy this season (probably to early to champions yet) but certainly a Cl place is more than possible. (The Cheshire Red)

West Brom can't spend anything for 2 years? Just where did you pull that one from Dingle? West Brom are one of only a few clubs who aren't in debt, we can still spend money THIS season unlike Wolves who have said they need to sell to buy And anyway, Albion aren't on the look out for a LB, Hodgson has said we are in the market for a versatile CB if anything

It looks like Fabregas will finally get his move, but the whole affair stinks to high heaven.

It often happens that a club finds or develops a world class player who then wants to move on to a bigger or more successful club. With the player unsettled, his club has no option but to put him on the market and invite offers that reflect his current value.

But Fabregas only wants to go to one club, so Barcelona knows that there is no competition in the race to sign him. As a result, they have been making offers that are derisory for a player on a long contract who is widely regarded as the best playmaker in the Premiership.

In an open auction, with mega-bucks clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Paris St Germain and Anzhi Makhachkala all bidding against each other, Fabregas would probably fetch a lot more than the £35m (full of 'ifs' 'ands' and 'buts') that Barcelona are reportedly now prepared to pay.

I don't say there has been active collusion between Fabregas and Barcelona to force this move through on the cheap, but that is effectively what is happening.

Football, don't you love it

If they got rid of him last year at least £40m.
