Huddersfield to sign Lloyd Sam and Paul Connolly on a free from leeds regardless if they get promoted or not

17 May 2012 22:25:06
Snodgrass has told Leeds, that he loves the club but feels that the club cant make promotion next season, and will join Clayton on leaving Leeds. Looks like Reading were looking before Garath McCleary, Norwich and Southampton are now favorites both looking for quality in the rm roles..

West brom held secret interviews last week the person that spent the most time with your chairman as avram grant I am not saying he will get the job but his interview went very well
Snodin

So his interview went very well, that's nice for him isn't it. Great bit of in-depth reporting there fella, you know his interview went well, but you're not saying he'll get the job... in other words - you're guessing.

Dullard

Its big eck

Akinfenwa could rejoin one of his former clubs, Doncaster. Bayo became a instant hero with Rovers after firing them to the Div 3 title 9 years ago

Demba Ba is set to exit Newcastle this summer, once a club activates his 7 million pound release clause however the only problem is Ba has a clause in his contract entitling him to a certain percentage of any further transfer fees, so Newcastle could miss out on making a fair bit of profit from the sale.

Players topping Nigel Adkins Transfer Wishlist

Matt Jarvis - 4.3M Nearly a done deal

Trippier - Fee agreed for Trippier and J Rod in double swoop 10M for both players

J Rodriguez -

Hooper - Most likely January signing due to Champions League Qualifier

Zac Whitbread - Free transfer, only personal terms

Jordan Rhodes - Agreed Fee if Huddersfield fail in play offs

Jacob Butterfield - Enquired but Newcastle leading

So in your opinion we are going to add 3 more strikers Rodriguez, Hooper and Rhodes. We already have Lambert, Sharpe, Lee, Barny, Connolly, you could also add Guly to that list. I appreciate Barny and Connolly will probable be moved on but there is no way we will add an extra 3 to the club.
I would not be surprised if we did get another 1 striker but not 3. Also i reackon Adkins will try and add a Striker with Prem experience.

Lol saints fans wolves have said its going to take 10 mill to prize jarvis from wolves

People saying about adam Johnson on a high wage he is one of citys lowest wages on about £25-30,000 a week from what ive heard

17 May 2012 20:28:27
who are any of you to criticize him? let's not forget that Martinez has avoided relegating with Wigan, He defeated Arsenal, Sunderland, Newcastle, and almost drawing City. by the way his "relegation" squad beat Liverpool once and drew once. who ever will be the next manager is already going to fail if hes going to be dealing with likes of some people on this site. Wenger came from a random Japanese club. he hasn't won anything except the THE PREMIER LEAGUE! Spanish coaches always play sexy soccer

Cant believe Leicester are signing Jamie Vardy from Fleetwood. Hes currently at the King Power undergoing a medical. I cant help but think its a desperate move as he hasnt played league football before. He aint exactly cheap either costing 1m possibly rising to 1.7m. Can anyone shed any light on him as a player as i have no idea what hes like?

Good luck blackpool and chelsea saturday!

LeicesterLad {Ed003's Note - Small, tricky and fast,can play as a winger or striker }

Leicester lad .. give this boy a chance ..
stocky and quick .. watched him v blackpool fa cup . and tight .... oyston offered 1 mill straight after game!
he will make the grade !

maximus

Cheers lads he sounds very promising. I know a lot of championship clubs were after him so cant wait to see him in action pre-season. Hopefully we get rid of waste-of-space Beckford now!

LeicesterLad

Beckford a waste of space? He finished 2nd behind Nugent with 15 goals for goodness sake! Are you one of those clever foxes that was calling Yakubu crap for 'only' scoring 20 goals when he was on loan at Leicester?

What is it you people want from a striker, someone who scores goals, or someone who runs around like a headless chicken "giving his all" but never actually mustering a shot on target, ala Robbie Savage?

Vardy has the potential to be a very good player, he's expensive because he's in great demand and Pearson has dived straight in to secure him before someone else does. He'll line up alongside Shluup and will probably play as much next season, the odd game here or there, the league cup, a few appearances off the bench, but he'll be learning as he goes.

You clearly know nothing! Robbie savage was a great player for us! Beckford might have have got 15 goals but he's lazy and is only there for the money...he could of had 30 goals the amount of chances he had...the goals he did score my nan would have finished! Gimme the Yak all day long! Look at his attitude away to Leeds last day of the season! Ship him off to 'Leicester rejects Utd (Leeds) and have done with it!!

LeicesterLad {Ed025's Note - you usually talk utter rubbish...but i agree with you on this one..

I talk utter rubbish to get a reaction out of ppl m8

LeicesterLad {Ed025's Note - your good at it..

Cheers m8 lol! It would be pretty depressing if you post stuff on ere with no reply! At least my posts get plenty of attention even if they are ridiculous at times....i think this site is jokes but i know my sh*t as well m8

Whoever is in charge of this rumour website must either be a West Ham fan or someone who got a bum holiday in Blackpool... Why are our friends from East London on the prem page Ed? 3-0 Blackpool for me!

Have people forgot that West Ham beat Blackpool 4-0 at home and 4-1 away with Lansbury in goal do 40 mins as well as finishing 10 point above Blackpool

And southend finished above crewe but crewe still beat them so it doesnt make a difference who won who before its all about the game at the weekend its going to be funny if west ham lose after all there fans think coz they beat them in league they have already won

17 May 2012 19:07:29
West ham planning a £1 million cut price deal for Kevin Davies if they get promoted, with Bolton being relegated. Davies played under Allardyce and suits his style of play

Hes signed a new contract

17 May 2012 18:14:40
If AVB gets Liverpool job... Hope he gets plenty to spend, we need world class players to become a world class team... We have got half a team of championship players... and apparently now lookin into Jordan Rhodes? no thanks!

AVB or Martinez!

steve evans says rotherham fans will
be excited next tuesday with the new
signging do you know who it could be
ed?? {Ed013's Note - Only one I can think of is Lloyd Sam, but I thought he would go to a league 1 team. You never know}

17 May 2012 12:45:24

Butterfield isnt good enough for a europa league team

17 May 2012 12:12:24
In order to settle these silly big club arguements I have come up with a formula.

Average Attendence in past 20 years: to the nearest thousand then x5 for pts- so 22,300 would = 22x5 or 110pts
Number of Years in top flight:1pt each
Number of Years in Prem: 1pt each
Title Wins: 8pts
FA CUP wins: 4pts
Lge Cups: 2pts
UEFA/CWC: 4pts
Champ/EC: 10pts
League positions in past 10 years: add them all up for a score
1st prem:100pts
2nd-90
3rd-89 right down to 1pt for 23rd lge 2

i have no axe to grind I just thought it would give a fair score that takes into account history fan base but gives weight to recent performances.

try doing your club score :D

You've got too much time on ur hands mate, I worry about what we win now not in the past....Like Liverpool

17 May 2012 11:45:56
Could Alessandro Del Piero sign For Notts Count?
He Has been released by Juventus. Stranger things have happend.

Absolutely no chance whatsoever.

17 May 2012 09:01:06
Hi to all barnsley fc fans. I have just heard that barnsley is changing the name of oakwell to spotland 2 in honour of keith hill. And that he will sign a striker from there today.
Remember you heard it here first.

Transfer activity will continue when NW is on holiday, why would it stop? Chairmen work from lists provided from managers.

17 May 2012 01:04:02
alex mc leish interested in the wba job,liverpool job,postmans job,coalmans job,milkmans job.........lol cmon the villa

17 May 2012 00:38:07
Why would we even want jarvis? He hasnt exactly done the business for however many seasons for wolves. I dont really care who we buy,im more worried about who we let go. Yea,everyone can say they will stay and pledge themselves to saints but if a bigger club with bigger wages come in then the likes of adam,ricky,morgan,jose and jos could all leave. Sucks,but money is evil,and the promise of europe could be all to much. Watch out for that pardew up north!! Bring back papa! He was too quick for league 1 but would probably stay onside in the prem! Plus he always played with a smile on his face..

I seriously doubt saints have any players the top six would be interested in so stop worrying, perhaps a decent season in the prem and Wolves might buy one or two when we return next year. Calm down tong was in cheek for the second part of the post

OP sort your life out!
Jarvis is actually a good player and I would see him as a welcome addition to the Saints squad.
A side that won promotion to the premier league and is financially stable is also not going to go around selling their best players!
What is wrong with you? Calm down.

Lol 1st season terrorised left n right back every game should of gone to the world cup regardless

2nd season still terrorising left n right backs gets he england call up

3rd season starts off rubbish after january hes back 8 goals hatfuls of assists should of gone to the euros so i suggest you accually watch him who you think your going to sign pedro sanchez ronaldo ect ect ect just an average team

17 May 2012 00:05:25
Reading have signed McCleary, and it just ges to show some rumours do materialise!

There is also interest in butterfield, hoilett, Clyne and many more.

Looks like it will be an exciting summer for reading!

All 3 of those players listed will be going to bigger clubs, I am afraid
