OK Ed this is the Middlesbrough update direct from Rockcliffe. With permanent transfers there will be 2 'big' deals with a total expenditure of around £2.5m to £3. 0m. They're getting tired of Leed's refusal to talk on McCormack who's actually very keen to come. The back up options are Nakhi Wells and Nicky Maynard. Mowbray wants enthusiasm, good attitude and work-rate. They boy from Malmo is clearly an option and there are a couple of other long shots from abroad but all deals for the foreign players are difficult as the club do not want to outlay huge wages. I have no real info on the powerful centre half he's after but know Titus Bramble was on the wishlist earlier in the summer and lives on Wynyard which is only 10 miles from the training ground. With the loans in principal they've lined up deals for Powell, and the Keane brothers from Man Utd. These will get game time but will be squad players. Powell would be expected to get most game time. All 3 may or may not happen but they have been detailed talks. There have been talks on Ake but a deal isn't at the top of the list.

Regarding the Qutari World Cup, I reckon it should be played in the summer as if it were played in the winter it would disrupt too many leagues, but play it a t NIGHT TIME! It would be 20-30 degrees cooler than in the day and that wouldn't even factor in the air con, this makes the most sense.

It doesn't cool much at night mate, The fact is that fatty blatter and his cohorts took the qatar money and now expect the european leagues to cause chaos for years to accomodate them it should never have been given to qatar they have zero history of football, brown envelopes rule at fifa

Agree0 Disagree0

Lets be honest here, an arab country was going to get the w/c at some point so these problems would still have been there regardless of when it was. they have picked one of the richest countries who have already invested in a football infrastructure and are now pumping billions into it. yes blatter took a bribe but this was going to happen at some point anyway so I would prefer it to happen in a stable country who will spend to make it a success rather than having it in an unstable country who can't spend enough.

Could be a late twist in Bent deal. West Brom are sniffing again after missing out on Kalou.

If wba sign bent as well as vydra and Sinclair are th they going to play anelka rosenborg and shane lon in midfield. how may forwards do they need!

Agree0 Disagree0

To be honest as a Fulham fan I wouldn't mind him going somewhere else as I would prefer to get Osvaldo from Roma. Even though he would cost 10million I think he would do better than Bent and he is also younger.

Just a quick line to wish all Coventry Fans good luck, I�m overseas and have many pals who support Coventry. My club have been there and back even this season 80% of the team was sold to cut wage bill and wok within the Fl rules.
So let�s hope you can get a decent investor. What a result yesterday keep going all the best
