Norwich City will finalise the Jonny Howson deal tomorrow, with Howson's signing being confirmed in the afternoon/evening.
The option to 'parade' Howson at the Chelsea game on Saturday was considered, but Lambert doesn't want unnecessary publicity.
The deal will be around £700k up-front, with various add-on's. Very good value for money.
Progress on other transfers is slow, but the cancellation of De Laet's loan deal opens up the possibility of an extra player joining on loan.

Pavlachenko to stoke as hek wants to prove harry redknapp wrong who says he is

Inside information. Hull City are closely watching Charlton striker Bradley Wright-Phillips and are about to make a substantial bid to solve their goal scoring problems. It is thought the player would fit in well with the teams style of play.

Scottish football is ***** end of! even the mighty Rangers are a mid-table championship team if they had to play quality week in week out they would crumble! its a 2 horse race spl pants!
18 Jan 2012 22:34:02
whatever decision is made it will be managed admirably by the Chairman. Just look at his track record with him having a say in football matters which normally is frowned upon by fans! Money is there to be have and we could buy realistically three players for the price of Hooper or Rhodes. So you fans can live with you pipe dream: we know it will be reality by the end of the transfer window!
18 Jan 2012 22:28:19
Now let me see if I can get this right. In the last few weeks Matt Tubbs of Crawley has been going to, according to those on this site, Ipswich (laughed off by the manager), Wigan (too high a leap), Bournemouth (£450k bid rejected, not returning with another), Millwall (yeah, right), Birmingham, Leeds, Huddersfield, Crystal Palace (they've signed a few recently ‚Äì all from a higher/same level - and won't spend any more), Portsmouth (unlikely as yet another new mystery owner), Hartlepool, Brighton (seriously?!) and now whackiest of all Barnsley (an alleged £300k bid after Bournemouth's £450k was rejected) Per-lease people, THINK before you type.

18 Jan 2012 20:05:58
Let's get this right. Southampton fc CAN afford to buy hooper, and CAN match his ambitions. I can understand Celtic fans not wanting hooper to leave the club, but unfortunately this deal is inevitable. Saints will not let this drag on until the 11th hour. COYR!
18 Jan 2012 18:53:33
I'm sick of all these sweaty socks think they are high an mighty an we just a wee club u forget we won the fa cup (a cup u will never win)beating man u from te old secoend division had the 2nd longest stay in the top flight! But co we were run by a muppet one Rupert Lowe we never built on our own success we pay more then Celtic play better football then Celtic an a higher standard an b4 u bang on about Europe every year I hard think loosing in a champions league qualifier an drop in into the the European ton cup league counts as anything special I really want us to sign hooper not coz I wanna see him in a saints shirt or coz he I'd decent but then u will all have to realise we are going some u will never go BACK to the premier league!
18 Jan 2012 18:52:54
When a club buys 2 players from another club, the other club is automatically their feeder club. We'll just have Snodgrass and then we'll be on our way. LEEDS ARE OUR FEEDER CLUB, LEEDS ARE OUR FEEDER CLUB. Pathetic Leeds fans, who live in the past.
18 Jan 2012 18:45:16
What is it way all this hooper talk still going on? Celtic are a massive club why would he leave for a pub team?
18 Jan 2012 16:50:56
Garry Hooper would be a great signing for Saints, he would almost certainly be playing premiership football next season. Saints are going places, their new state of the art training complex is under construction, and he and Nigel Adkins already know each other well.
18 Jan 2012 16:40:54

Swansea looking to sign spearing--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK for Swans bench
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newly promoted championship side with 2nd tier players still riding the rush of promotion,spearing would go straight into the 1st 11,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd tier players? Think you'll find them plying their trade in the top tier now actually. Spearing would not go straight into the starting line-up at all. And if you're a Liverpool fan.......former huge club riding the rush of former glory that were held at home in a very even game this season by so-called "2nd tier players". Swansea have earn't the right to play in the league and currently sit top half. Poke it. Jesse

Why are all these opposition fans so obsessed with Swindon ! Concentrate on your own team you fools !
18 Jan 2012 16:01:55
There is no chance of Marshall being sold, pulis has already said his future is at stoke and in today's local paper pulis has said he's considering not even letting marshall leave on loan as he wants to begin to Intergrate him into the first team... So anyones saying he will be sold wind ya neck in Bulls**tters!
18 Jan 2012 15:03:57
Why do all saints fans think they know all Burnley players on first name terms? Jay? Charlie? Behave.....
18 Jan 2012 14:51:40
If Saints were told he was not for sale, 2nd, 3rd bids would not be tabled. Everyone is too busy to waste their time, so clearly there must be some desire from Celtic to trade.
18 Jan 2012 14:49:06
How many times?? Jay is not going to tweeties or saints?
18 Jan 2012 14:45:50
i just watched that goal hooper scored on weekend and i see a better finish when i play sunday league he needs to come to southampton to improve and ed u should no southampton is a 60min drive hardly a life time away and by the way every player says there happy then gets on the next bus
18 Jan 2012 14:12:02
Can I just add over this hooper / Southampton debate? Why would he leave Celtic and go to a lesser team? Regardless of the wages he would receive. Another season at paradise and he will be going to a top six premiership team and not a doody team that will go back down the following season if they get promoted, and I hope they don't!

Celtic.
All you ever see on this page now and Hooper out, Rhodes in. It's getting boring really isn't it? Hooper will not be leaving for now at least. A player of his calibre is hard to come by and the fact we are approaching late January means it would probably take a bid upwards of £10m to have the Celtic board to seriously consider it. If Southampton get promoted I feel Gary may seriously consider the move but he is enjoying life in Scotland and might feel that challenging for trophies and the prospect of playing in Europe is more appealing than either a relegation battle of a series of mid table finishes but at the same time might want to boost his international hopes.
Rhodes won't be coming in to Parkhead in January and very probably not in the Summer either. Albeit he is publicly known as a Celtic fan the draw of the the EPL is one many players will be unable to refuse, depending on the club that come in for him. With the likes of Spurs now keeping an eye on his progress it's unbelievable to think that people still believe that he will join Celtic. His price tag is also steadily rising for the time being too, something that will rule Celtic out of the race.
18 Jan 2012 11:50:09
Disgusted! Time to boycott Elland Road Fan loyalty is being stretched . Papa smurf the Chelsea crank wants promotion from Grayson not a prayer without investment in the squad! get real Bates And get out of our beloved club .
Well said mate takin the piss he may have saved us but now he is destroying us
Captain birdseye is a legend
18 Jan 2012 11:46:50
Ha...Ha...Ha...It's really good to see Southampton and Palace Fans to post thier bulls**t up after we rubbed Saints noses in the s**t, Next stop Palace.
FYI, I'd rather wait until Sky Sports News makes official transfer info or my colleague at Brighton who is the new Head of Football Operations feeds me the real information personally.
Ooh, is he a close colleague? I prefer facts as well : Saints top, Brighton 12th.
18 Jan 2012 11:41:14
What the hell is going on at Leeds ,why oh why do we always sell our best players.We are NO LONGER A BIG CLUB and never will be again if we persist in selling the few good players we have! It's a shame because we have a huge fan base of LOYAL FANS some of the best fans around,that won't last forever if the club carries on in this vein ,IT'S HARD TO ACCEPT .
There is not a lot anyone can do about it. if jonny does not want to play for LEEDS what can we do.

Why does every other Supporter say Wolves are not ambitious?
With a new Stadium pretty much being built, new Training Facilities, a 50m revamp of the Leisure facilities for schools and homes creating money for the Wolves with a 2m yearly Government profit. First Football club to have a Mobile phone Tariff creating further income for Wolves, revamp of Molineux Hotel becoming the biggest football conference centre in the UK.
But we are not ambitious at all are we.
OHHHH and guess what we are still in profit after all the expenditure, best run club in Country by a country mile and give it 15/20 Years time all your Leicesters, Man Citys, Chelsea's, QPR's will be begging for a Chairman like Morgan :)
Why have u put Leicester in the same category as Chelsea and Man City? our owners av only been the half a season so we have hardly spent any money compared to them. NUMPTY!
18 Jan 2012 10:47:07
Stoke did take him and yes was going to get a contract till he could not get a work permit so
Could not make the move as for calling him he looks a good player then new kanu and u can see why , he will find his way to uk soon but not this season so sorry no trials for anyone else
-----------------------------------------------------
Not true I'm afraid, source close to the club told me that he wasn't that good. Pulis was quoted as saying 'He looks technically gifted, but he isn't for us. In other words he isn't going to set the world alight

Who is the person who thought Shawcross broke Eduardo's leg?... get him off football website's.. fool
Shawcross broke Ramseys leg, I think it was a birmingham play, Cant recall his name though.
Martin Taylor broke Eduardo's leg. He now plays for Watford.

Chaplow never wanted to leave Burnley and is a fan of the club, he is born and bread a Lancashire lad in the shadow of Pendle hill and would only come back to Burnley if he was unhappy at the Saints. Also Burnley have McCann, Marney and Bartley in that position and Chaplow although a great player would not improve the team in that department.
