what portsmouth did when they got to the prem has never been done before, they didnt have much money but they borrowed 100s millions on players and huge salarys to achieve a little bit of glory, when they messed it up and got relagated they went in to admin and left the public to pay the 60million bill, when southampton went into admin we owed about 2million which we paid back also when we were in the prem we sacrificed spending big on players to build st marys and top rate training complex, we also invested in the academy, the best in the country now all good foundations for a top club, all that money pompey spent they didnt bother investing anything just players they couldnt afford, even to this day there still training at wellingtons ground with second rate facilities and its in southampton

QPR BID 4MILLION FOR SCOTT PARKER, HAHA IM SORRY THEY'LL HAVE TO ATLEAST DOUBLE 4M TO EVEN GET A CHANCE OF SIGNING HIM.

Maybe they could get parker from thunderbirds for 4mill..??

Parker is 30 and geting,im not doubting that hes not a decent player.but hes had his chances with chelsea and newcastle and didnt shine.if hes that good why is he still at west ham?

The way West Spam play they should get Lady Penelope on a free.

There is no chance of parker leaving thunderbirds,but i beleive there has been an approach to the muppet show for some more transfer talks..Ive been informed on the quite by big bird and miss piggy.......

Just like to say lallana has been outstanding sheer class {Ed025's Note - i must agree ..

In my opinion we don't need to many high priced players after Southampton's recent form of scoring 13 and Conceding 4 in the last 4 Games, we might need to sort out our defense just slighty but that ain't a major concern. For midfield I think we have one of the best in Lallana, Hammond, Cork and Schinederlin (Spelling). And for strike I'm not too concerned after Lambert and Connolly Have both Scored 3 in 4 Matches, Might need a Impact Bench Player in which I think a Striker who is worth a max of 1 Million. Maybe names like Nathan Eccelston of Liverpool, Benik Afobe of Arsenal or Dani Pacheo (Spelling) again from Liverpool if they are not on loan or brought by another club. I would of thought If we are to sign anyone it will be by surprise. Deals reported by this website never happen except the Cork deal and Slighty the Fox deal (No one belived there was any real interest in him). But Who ever we sign it will be a young Striker located in England or a slighty experienced Attacker from eroupe, Either Italy, Belguim, Dutch or Swiss league based players

E.R.W P.s someone used my initials in an earlier post so please ignore that

Yes, it was you who used your own initials

Leeds - Ken Bates has reiterated his determination to secure Leeds' financial sanctity by confirming that Leeds will now not sign any new players until January.

Bates has blasted Leeds' fans as "morons".

Apparently, loan signings will remain an option

Bates is bang on

You couldnt make it up, spurs already have an injury crisis. Ten players out and not a ball kicked yet. No other team gets bad luck like spurs, every year injuries cost us, unbeleivable. {Ed001's Note - surely it is bad training?}

What a baby, every club gets injuries.
Getting the excuses in early before having a miserable season. team on a downward spirral, now they have finally run out of money. The brown bag man redknapp will be off soon.

for people who keep sayin scott dann is moving to stoke city he will not be moving the the britania as stoke have signed mathew upson and jonathon woodgate on cheaper wages. stoke are interested in signing joey barton (newcastle) and i very doubt there will be a deal done for peter crouch as he doesnt want to move from london however stoke do like finalising a deal for wilson palacios. stoke are also in the transfer market for a new striker and whoever is saying kenwyne jones is leaving stoke are talking rubbish because jones signed a year cntract and he loves it at stoke. i am stoke fan and i would like to see the signing of scott parker and see him play for stoke in our midfield and for the game at the weekend chelsea boss AVBi believe he needs to get a grip as we are playing football it is a contact sport players are bound to get puphed around and as for torres if hes worth 50m how much are jermaine pennant and mathew etherington worth football is getting ridiculous with money and with managers complaining if AVB doesnt like the pushing and shoving then tell him come down stoke and join a ballerina class that might suite is sort of ability better

Arsenal have turned their attention to Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak, who has fallen out of place since the arrivals of David de Gea and Anders Lindegaard. Wenger wishes for a number-two alongside his Polish starter, Wojciech Szczesny

Rumours at Brighton are we are going in for Ebanks Blake andJarvis from Wolves. Poyet seems to think 2.2m for the two should get Wolves intrested, Me personally i wish we had got Miller from West Brom as Ebanks Blake always looks a tad on the fat side and Jarvis runs around like headless chicken, i dont think either will improve us to much.In Poyet we trust.
---------------------------------------------
Jarvis would not go to a championship club full stop, certainly not for anything less than £7m and Ebanks Blake would not be part of that deal. Blake isn't fat, it is actually muscle and he can move when he needs to, he is not lazy. And Jarvis is rumoured to be attracting big clubs and has a cap for England, that doesn't happen if you run round like a headless chicken. And if you think 2 premier league players won't improve your squad then you are quite clearly delusional about your teams ability. And if Poyet does believe £2.2 would at all interest wolves then he delusional too.

The way you lot play you would be better signing Tom Daley

Southampton are now in talks over changing there kit colour from red and White to the beautiful claret and blue and changing there stadium name to turf moor. It is quite clear the southamptons fans won't care as they are clearly thick as they call Burnley rubbish but think they are better by taking there team...
Don't think your going up cause they have already proven they can't win promotion and that's why were getting a nw team.....
HAVE FUN IN LEAGUE 1
--------------------------------------------------

Southampton has bought one and bid on another of Burnley's players, it's hardly a starting 11 is it? lol. Oh and before you go harping on about Jack Cork he was on Chelsea's books, not yours.

Also I can't remember reading any post where our fans have called you 'rubbish'. I have however read some of Burnley's forums where your own supporters have called your side far worse

As for promotion, who knows? But in the form we're in I wouldn't bet against it.

'Southampton fans are clearly thick' ? .......Mate, you should read your posts again before hitting the send button. I don't think you are in any position to call others thick.

looks like pompey are living in the southampton shadow once again, we had a couple of years in front things to be put in there proper place now, os pfc site.

Not a transfer rumour but...heard that Pearson will be asked to resign after playing 4 and loosing 3, hardly great is it.

You heard these voices in your little head did you? hmmm.

There are so many ill informed people around. Yes southampton were in administration and weeks away from being liquidated. BUT unlike portsmouth there was no CVA as they were bought by a swiss billionaire (rip), who paid off ALL their debts. They are not trying to buy all of Burnley's players, they are strengthening an already strong squad of players so dont be bitter Fact, Burnley is not the club southampton are. I for one think they have a strong chance of promotion if not this season then next. If Burnley are such a big club then why are you worried about keepig hold of your players?

Jay Rod stats Appearances Goals
2007–Burnley 70 (26)
2008-Stirling Albion (loan) 11 (3)
2010- Barnsley (loan) 6 (1)

What is the big deal about this player...hardly prolific is he, played 6 games for Barnsley last year.......

Burnley you can keep him
--------------------------------------
I don't know who you support, but he's an england u21 international and easily has the most potential for a striker in the championship. Read a book.

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

You could argue that Shane Long had a poor goal to appearance ratio before last season, It comes down to the fact that Jay is much younger and has potential to grow into a bigger and better player. Also if your using those stats to make out that Jay-Rod is poor. What about Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain? He was bought for that price because of his age and potential just like Jay will go for a high price because of his age and potential
.........................................
I'm very sure that Jay rod never played 70 games in 2007...Burnley didn't play 70 times

Send him to the SPL
