Leeds Signings:
GK Alex Smithies Huddersfield 1 Million
LB Alex Pearce Bournemouth Free
CB Al Haed {Spelling} Brighton 500,000
CB Jose Fonte Southampton 1 Million
RB Daniel Fox Burnley 1 Million
LM Andrew Surman Norwich 1 Million
CM Jack Cork Chelsea 600,000 He won't go to burnley or southampton
CM Neil Danns Cyrstal Palace Free
RM Michael Antonio Reading Free
ST Craig Mackail Smith Peterbrough 1.5 Million
ST Nathan Tyson Derby Free
------------------
You don't get it you Leeds fans, always think you can get whatever player you want, smithies is staying a Huddersfield, Craig mackail smith is going somewhere else and you will only get one or two out of the your special wish list, would not be surprised if you got none of them. you lot need to step into the real world, stop thinking you can get anyone, your dreamers you think your still number one and you can get any player.
Tyson just signed for Derby for free from Forest.Why would he go to Leeds?Its not going to happen.And Danns singed for Leicester City.And Danny Fox is a awful player.If that is the level Leeds are after.Enjoy being in the championship for years to come.Fox has to be the worst full back that I ever saw at Celtic.How he got a Scotland cap.I will never know, he stank.
Jose jonte 1 million you are having a laugh arnt you first of all, Fonte is a Prem player. He would get in any mid table and below Prem team second, your 1 million value of him is way out he has to be worth at least 4-5 million judging on what some players are being sold for these days, Third he wont leave Saints for Leeds as i consider you to be no bigger then Saints. so all in all that is a pretty stupid list to make up at least when you put a bull s*** list together next time try and make it more beleavable.
also neil Danna has just signed for Leicster and Surman has just returned to prem why would he come to Leeds
Nah. this is a fake leeds fan. real leeds fans like us know that we wont be even spending any penny this year or any other year. we are only looking for freebies. this person is just trying to make us real leeds fans look bad. can u ed delete all those fake leeds fans' posts?

Ex Kilmarnock striker Conor Sammon is at Portman Road for a medical ahead of a loan move from Wigan to Ipswich.
No he's not... He's going to be playing for us next season because he started playing at the end of last season... It's not going to happen so don't make stupid roumors up
01 Jul 2011 23:19:01
So man city after nasri, at this point next year man utd wont even be the biggest side in manchester
I equate man city to like the boy who show offs, has the nice car, nice house, fancy clothes, but his dad paid for it all, takes the shine off it a bit , if only he could have managed all that success of his own back .
They are like the kid who shows offs cos he has it all, but daddy pays for it , it kinda takes the shine off it, wouldnt it be so much better if he had achieved all this success off his own back, thats why we hate chelsea and city, nobody likes a show off who didnt achieve it through their own hard work.
01 Jul 2011 23:15:06
Leeds Signings:
GK Alex Smithies Huddersfield 1 Million - Unlikely
LB Alex Pearce Bournemouth Free - It's actually Jason Pearce and he has gone to Portsmouth already.
CB Al Haed {Spelling} Brighton 500,000 - Al-Habd, again Unlikely
CB Jose Fonte Southampton 1 Million - Living in a dreamworld on this one.
RB Daniel Fox Burnley 1 Million - Unlikely
LM Andrew Surman Norwich 1 Million - Interesting in the fact that he was a star performer in their side which are now in the Premier League.
CM Jack Cork Chelsea 600,000 He won't go to burnley or southampton. Yes he will
CM Neil Danns Cyrstal Palace Free - Gone to Leicester already, don't you keep up with football?
RM Michael Antonio Reading Free - Unlikely
ST Craig Mackail Smith Peterbrough 1.5 Million - Bizarre because Leicester have already had a £3million bid accepted. Why would they have the asking price?
ST Nathan Tyson Derby Free - He signed for Derby from Forest less that two weeks ago.
You are an absolute person who knows nothing about Football or what is going on in the transfer market.
He may know nothing about football, but replying UNLIKELY doesn't make you a genius either,

Sorry guys but if the other 19 teams played the way Stoke play their football the TV revenues would soon be switched off, because the rest of Europe would not take the coverage.
As a Norwich Supporter I am sure we will get hammered quite a few times in the premier league next season, but at least we will try to keep the ball on the ground and play football because the manager believes in it. Personally I would rather have our team give it a go playing attractive football and get relegated back to championship as an alternative to watching 11 x 6ft+ robots hammer the ball into the penalty area, or rely on throw ins bombed in every chance you get.
Would you rather try to play good football and go down , or stay in the premiership every year , become established and gain a europa league place. Take your pick ?
01 Jul 2011 22:46:52
All the Southampton fans on here really need to freshen up on there football knowledge. Posting ridiculous comments about the possible signature of Jack Cork. You simply can not claim that Jack will not be coming to Burnley because he is afraid he will end up like Charlie Austin Charlie Austin started every game when he signed in January and then dislocated his shoulder... Are you saying Jack Cork will not sign for Burnley because he is afraid he will dislocate his shoulder?? Have a word with youself lad Clearly you all still have a little grudge on us Clarets for sending you down to your beloved League 1 :D :D :D Prepare yourself for a struggle in the championship... Without Jack Cork
Cork offer also accepted by Chelski from Blackpool, final talks being held on Monday with player and agent.

Big news Steven gerrad has said he wants to leave liverpool, a lack of belive and trophies, he wants to end his carrier winning as much as he can, it will be a tough move as he loves Liverpool football club says gerrad
The Deal with Real Madrid has been arranged already just waiting for Liverpool to secure his replacement.
Thought that was henderson

Source : Daily Echo - Jack Cork. Bid accepted by Chelsea. But same with Blackpool. I reckon he will sign because he will be able to get into the first team. He will not go to Burnley I believe as he has seen what happened to Charlie Austin after he joined the club in January. Cork will probably sign due to having a loan spell at Southampton in the 2008-2009 season I think and also having meet Nigel Adkins at a different Club.
__________
What he is going to dislocate his shoulder like Austin? think you need to find out why players dont play. Cork has said many times that he wants to join burnley, he loved his time with us.---------------------------------------------------
Tbh do Eddie Howe did'nt really give Austin much of a chance before he dislocated his shoulder. The thing is Blackpool and Southampton have both had bids accepted for Cork which Burnley Have'nt. Also Howe is'nt intersted in Cork, He did'nt loan Cork in Laws did.
- -------------------------------------------------
It really looked like Howe it didn't want him. I mean come on he only played him in every game. Pure hatred for the kid
Trust me Cork will be at Burnley and im going to come on here and laugh at all you southampton mugs when it happens
---------------------------------------------------
Austin has played 4 games for Burnley. Also Southampton are apparently the only team now who have had a bid accepted for Jack Cork
Come on girls, break it up. Its getting very boring.

All you florist fans saying Leicester is bankrupt. I say that we are buying good players compared to florist
Evidence :
florist

Leicester
Peltier (one of the most promising young RB's in the football league
Danns ( one of the best midfielders in the championship old firm intersted
schmeichel (Best keeper in the champ under 25s)
Oh go to bed laddie.

I'm a sunderland fan and this argument between the sunderland lad and the stoke lad is pathetic, we don't give a sh*t about lazy boy Jones and the method Stoke are paying us, so why don't both of you chill out and stop arguing and start talking banter about players who will be arriving at sunderland and stoke. neither club is in debt, they both will have money to spend on improving their squads. SAFC TILL I DIE FTM
01 Jul 2011 21:24:45
Liverpool are locked in transfer talks with heskey as he is seen as a better bet than carroll for next season.
Heskey and kilbane i heard
I am also hearing that Darren Ferguson will replace Dalglish as he can tap his dad up for some loan players.
01 Jul 2011 21:18:50
Ok, whats the big deal if fabregas goes? Obviously, he is world class talent and will be hard to replace.. BUT he played in less than half of arsenal's games last year, when he did play he never finished the game, and he is not a true leader and should NOT be our captain..
Ed, please give your opinion but if andy carroll goes for 30 million then surely fabregas has to be 50 million right? {Ed011's Note - Absolutely, liverpool paid too much for carroll
01 Jul 2011 21:05:44
Spurs are checking the entire staff for the black plauge. because of the rats deserting the sinking ship.
Small club
little class
no ambition
tiny band of deluded fans
on a downward spirral, having run out of money, living beyond there means.
The new leeds.
01 Jul 2011 20:43:45
Does anyone actually have some news from Elland Road that might be a tiny bit true, because we have been linked with loads of players but don't seem anywhere near a signing.
01 Jul 2011 20:35:48
Stevie gerrards back has gone!!! Years of carrying a s***e side. Liverpool are the biggest joke around
Well said, they have only 3 decent players and loads of deadwood. Anfield is a dump
Gerrard is s***e now anyway, lfc is a sinking ship
Totally agree gerrard is crap very overated always s**t for england, never been world class anyway, face it gerrard your finished
Awe lads leave it out will, ya , im still gr8, im guna do what i do every year n burst the united net sure am always at that , that or ill just quick pass to luis suarez to dance thru, either way im happy with that, try be nicer guys come on ;-)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hs ha deluded man u fans.. Luverpool will win the league this year bunch of numpties
Liverpool will go down
Hope the scousers would get relegated best thing to happen next season, dogleash gets sacked, just love it,
Liverpool will go into financial ruin with kenny spending like a mad man
Kenny to be replaced by avram grant, you heard it here first!!!
SAF and KK two madmen together there.
What's the chances of every person who has made a comment on the post above being either a bitter blue or a scared united fan? 100% if u ask me
Daft lads how many players in the premiership put in as much work rate as gerrard he never shirks a tackle his pass rate is amazing and his goals ratio is excellant liverpools downfall over the years has been some of the foreign s**te brought into the club at which kd is trying to rectify with some of his signings and players he has in his sights watch out for more british players arriving at anfield and im not scouser or liverpool fan but would love gerrard at my club than any other what do ye want t call him defender midfielder or attacker as he has the lot. lets here ye mention someone better so we can have a laugh

carthorse carroll won't get more than 10 goals next season and the ones he scores will go in off his backside
Do you mean 10 own goals. The lad is a donkey
He will need to pick up sauraez off the floor a lot as he will be diving all over the place
Carroll is worse than a donkey, he reminds me of a long haired usless yard dog lfc what a very poor signing 35 million wasted, happy days
Carroll if he remains injury free will score more than 20 goals next season and im not a deluded manx or a sour geordie as this is all the s**te they can think of
01 Jul 2011 20:24:03
Im Jack Cork's best mate, he said he hates Burnley and thinks that all of their fans are idiots. He's coming to Southampton for a medical tonight. COYR
Adam Lallana best player in the league by far

Huddersfield are looking at Oldham Athletic winger Chris Taylor as a possible replacement for want away midfielder Anthony Pilkington. However, a stumbling block is the £425,000 price tag Oldham have put on taylors head.LMAO oh dear me keeping dreaming
------------------
Y are we dreaming, it's not like he's miles out of our price range.
for the simple reason your hudds he hates you with a passion i should know i drink with his dad & he is going to burnley after the pre season game as said before

Re chelsea fan, your right im sorry. I forgot to mentiowm david speedie, david lee, joe mclaughlin, kevin hitchcock, craig burley, ken monkou, eddie newton, andy myers and they were the better ones lmfao.
You see the ones you mentioned was at the time you were spending money that wasnt yours, wasnt it? Cos you were soo desperate to be big.
Twice as many fans yeah? lol, you fool.
You aint got an argument chelsea boy, your club is fake and ruined football. Coys pride of london.
Spurs guvnor
Spud boy, will you put your dummy back in. You win nothing, your hated by everyone & your team is second rate.
Spud cry baby, your best player modric is begging us to sign him, because your such a tiny club. But we only put his name up to keep the price of pastore down. Your best muppet wouldn't get a game in a great side like us.
Your a knob spurs guvnor you talk utter s**te spuds are a second rate london team teams like palace, charlton, millwall are better clubs than muppet, shedenderblue
Great side? You havnt won the Champions League yet. When is that going to happen? Even Man U beat you in the Final. hahaha your skanky captain messed it up, the Chavvi cheat.
Just a matter of time before we win it, chelsea forever
Your time is running out

Bournemouth Fans please lay off Eddie Mitchell I mean seriously what could he have done to keep the players we have lost NOTHING
Firstly Danny Hollands moved for extra monye we did not have due to his wife going to have triplets.
Jason Pearce wanted to play in the Championship and we again cannot give him that nothing mitchell could have done there.
Rhoys Wiggins wanted out since January so why on earth are people complaining about him going when he really had no plands of staying.
This is very true, comin from a mancheter united fan, he will do very well to secure replacements
01 Jul 2011 19:05:17
Back again me spin instructor mate, was speaking to fuller again, and he told him, pulis was tryin get rid of him, so maybe it is messi that is comin after all he's the only footballer out there who can lace fullers boots

To all you Leeds fans well well Bradley has come to little oll Narwich who would have thought it.Seems he wants to play for a big club in the Prem.
Seems like the three promoted teams dont have a clue who to sign
Was he drugged when you signed him?
That's right Norwich signed a player that refused to renew his contract with Leeds no doubt because Bates wanted to reduce his pay, then he spouts some garbage about wanting to improve his squad and he was no loss, I guess that's why Leeds had tried on numerous occasions last year to get him to sign a new contract, he did the same thing with your ex GK, I think you have a good manager but you will struggle next year unless you get to buy a few players and with Bates holding the purse strings Good Luck
If you go fishing on this site, you can usually catch an angry Norwich fan. Whats this blokes problem haha At this rate that £42 mill YOU LOT insisted you had, will buy a lot of not very good but cheap players. Dont be so touchy.
01 Jul 2011 19:30:39
No more nonsence about teams going in for Bournemouth players the most they will loose now is litrelly 1 and that 1 is likely to be Ings.
-------------------------------------------------
Why Ings? I high;y doubt we will sell him this year i=even for £1 mill because if, like he should, score about 20-30 goals this year it increases his value even more and we are very determined and adamant that he will stay. The ony likley person would be Jalal if we dont meet his wage demands like over clubs can, as he has stated he has told Bournemouth want he wanst and we have to meet it.
And the only reason Bradbury has kept quiet over incoming transfers is if we go shouting of the rooftops that we want this decent players there are plenty of clubs that can out-pay and out-bid us for that player

01 Jul 2011 18:45:55
Re km, interesting post mate. I would add that spurs have a 40,000 people waiting list for season tickets while chelsea and man city have plenty available right now. Why? Thats simple, cos like i said yesterday they are both small clubs.
Look at chelsea (man city aint worth talking about) and compare players throughout the years and you realise why chelsea had a greyhound track for all those years.
Yes you had george weah and a few others before ambramovich but chelseas desperation to get these players almost cost them cos the banks wanted their money. Chelsea got lucky.
Once tottenham get their new stadium we will see wont we cos your russian monkey wont be able to splashout as much will he
Is it kerry dixon or gary lineker, gazza or gavin peacock, glenn hoddle or jody morris, ossie ardiles or frank sinclair, pat nevin or chris waddle, easy innit?
spurs guvnor
What a great bunch the spud players are;
A crisp muncher,
A cry baby,
A religious freak,
A coward from agentina,
The worst hair in history & thats your best.
You didn't compare them to;
Zola,
Poyet,
Desaily,
Le bouf, both world cup winners.
Vialli,
Gullit,
Terry,
Lampard & many, many more.
What a small minded, deluded numpty you are. Your lucky liverpool are such a bad team or you wouldn't even have euro football this year. Your best players want to join much better sides, inclusive of Chelsea, who have twice has many fans has you. Your team is on a downward spirral, now that they have run out of money.
The only reason spurs have 40,000 is because there playing well at the moment...when modric goes , bales leaves then harry goes to england you will have nothing Small Club s**te fans
I hate spuds, cfc

Word is that no one likes stoke, outside of the handful of supporters that occasionally turn up. The sooner they, and there awful brand of 'physical' football, get relegated and sink through the leagues, the better.
01 Jul 2011 16:54:15
01 Jul 2011 14:17:14
Whats the matter stoke fans i sense i bit of anger that we (sunderland) can actually spend £13mill on a player unlike stoke who are aiming to rip off lower teams like birmingham and West ham and reading. Also stop using the excuse that you's are in europe you got in europe because Man City had already qualified for the CL and secondly you's will be knocked out of europe at the first hurdle and next season Sunderland will take your place in europe properly we will not rely on other teams qualifying to help us
Ha'way The Lads
stoke can spend money on a player we just aint signed anyone yet haha and sorry was it your owner who said hes not giving steve bruce any of his money and to buy players you have to sell your players andthats why your spending money on players darren bent was sold for £20+ and henderson for £16+ and you brought a player for £12m and £5m and £2m lol well done your spending the money of your other transfers and sunderland in europe hahahahahahahah yes we qualified for europe through the fa cup but i dont recall sunderland doing that lately or getting to a cup final or going wembly our owner tops your owner in the rich list for football owners done by fourfourtwo so dude serouisly grow up and get your facts right before you start saying this without any real facts to back you up and yer we get cheap deals for good players its done us well hasnt it i remember walters £2.75m scores 12 goals this season money used wisely, matthew ethrington brought cheaply he is being tipped for england by sky sport punters pennant £2.75m he had a brill season. huth only £5m scored more than half of sunderlands team and hes a defender hahaha so yer we buy cheap players but there good pulis gets the best out of them hahahahahahaha
=============================ha ha ha ha you dis sunderland take a look at your team. i think you will find most of the 1st team used to play for sunderland.

Huddersfield Town have completed the signing of Manchester City's Donal McDermott on a 2 Year Contract
Confirmed on www.htafc.com
01 Jul 2011 15:41:16
You are sadly mistaken my friend. Southampton are always reported by their "own fans" as somehow being capable of large financial dealings in the transfer market, but nothing could be further from the truth. They need to sell in order to buy, and the illusion that a rich owner will cure all ills is mis-guided at best.
The "rich" owner is making sure they don't go bust AGAIN rather than spending zillions on players they can't afford. That's why you've seen ZERO activity in the Saints transfer dealings thus far. They need to get Chamerlain, Lallana and/or Lambert sold first before adding anyone of any significance, and in case your'e not aware, thats actually what the plan is. Two of those three WILL BE SOLD, or the club will stay with the squad pretty much from last year.
Expect to see those sales take place within the next 21 -30 days, or not at all, and therefore expect to see no buys inbound. Two clubs are bidding on Lallana (one Premier Lge and One Championship club), two are interested in Lambert (both Chamionship clubs), and as yet nobody has been silly enough to buy into the completely over-rated 10 mill valuation of Chamberlain so I'd expect him to still be there come August 6th out of the three that are part of this plan.
It is known that Adkins is extremely concerned that deals to sell are going slowly and thus impeding his ability to move ahead with the buying part. A good sign of an overly cautious Chairman ensuring that nothing gets spent that isn't part of the plan and part of the actual cash available right now in the bank.
Source - YPKL - inside
............................................................................
That is utter bullsh*t trying to wind us up, Lallana signed a four year contract in Jan and Lambert just signed a 3 year one plus Chambo is going to nowhere so that puts your theory out the window HA.........
Players sign contracts all the time - doesnt mean they wont move on the bigger clubs (of which there are lots in the Championship alone). Its a clever ploy by Saints to increase the value of their players - simples. Also you havent clarified why you dont think Chamberlain will not move: you simply put 'is going nowhere' - so forgive me if i dont beleive the rest of your statement.
Calm down love x
01 Jul 2011 15:27:49
who would you rather see in the midfield for man utd
sneijder and carrick believable
nasri and carrick unbelievable
Why would you partner any of them with carrick when you have the lights of fletcher to partner them with
Yes fair point, was thinking of a more defensive mid as both nasri and sneijder are quite attacking, although i see where your coming from fletcher is a great player and would also like him to get more game time.
01 Jul 2011 15:27:04
just read on the Liverpool rumour site that the young Wolves striker McAlinden is going to them, one of the Liverpool Academy lads said his agent told him, thats about 4 rumours I'v seen on here about him is he any good?
Why dont you go and find out.
01 Jul 2011 15:25:58
One thing bothering my about the Nasri situation is why would Citeh want him? They already have Silva, who in my opinion was more consistant thean Nasri last season.
Nasri = centre mid
silva = left wing, so how can you compare these two players
Nasri has played mostly on the wide , arsenal played a 4-3-3 formation, with fabregas, wilshere, song playing in midfield , with nasri, arshavin or walcott out wide, with van persie as the main striker, didnt you watch football much last season ?

No Celtic can afford 7 million. But long isn't worth it .. So sort it out mate you can get better for that price you can probably get wellbeck for7 million.. Rangers can't spend 2 million or even 3 million so don't try and put Celtic in rangers category thx.. Hail hail
==============
No you can't you halfwit, when did you last sign a £7m player
WATP
Hey, Dumbell Head jock. Do you come on here as nobody wants to have anything to do with you? Child.
I don't think u could get welbeck for £7mill try £12-15mill like Sunderland were quoted
01 Jul 2011 15:16:14
Leicester Citys financial business is a massive gamble that could have massive implications for their long term stability. Paying crazy money for an ineffective manager and 3 million for a player who hasn't ever played against a Premiership defender is the start of a very slippery slope and they will buy out the whole championship market chasing their dream.
Its like walking into a casino and sticking the whole club you've supported on black.
Source: (Pompey fan...yes we won the FA CUP and toyed with the Prem for a few years but with mercenaries who smelt the gold under a wheeer dealer manager and Storrie, so basically like getting two alccoholics to run your pub)....disaster....raped us and nearly killed us.
Apparently theres this new thing called Jealousy flying around...
What gamble check the sums pal most spent so is 1.5 mill on peltier, CMS not signed yet. Danns was a freebie South African a years loan Schmiecal 1 mill Sold Hobbs for a mill plus others gone so don't think that's a gamble just yet or are you jealous. We still have 10 mill to spend so Nugent (free) st ledger 850k and poss the yak for 2.5 plus a few others doesn't equate to the stupid money and wages pompey spent and i'll gaurantee not one will be payed the extortionant wages pompey were paying and in some cases still paying
You are confusing jealousy with reality. Your manager is on astronimical wages and not one of the players you have signed or are linked with will be on Championship money. Please wake up, smell the coffee and realise that they are all after a big payday and wont care too uch if you go up or not......if you don't then you will end up big money over 4 year contracts = disaster. i would hate us to ever go down that route again.....and i think you should be very very cautious about the future. good luck though my friend, i wore a pair of blue rose tinted glasses once too......

which CM are Leeds looking at cause we've only got the one
01 Jul 2011 14:02:55
didn't southampton last feature in europe in 03/04 ?
about the time of leeds' implosion due to spending money they didn't have for the success they hadn't earned ?
a bit like the blue few a of the years ago ?
wasn't leeds' last trip into europe in 01 ?
How did leeds not earn the rights for europe? did we not finish in a champs league spot??

To Clarify. When Sunderland sold Kenwyne Jones to Stoke on the 'DFS never never' Bruce announced it was because Stoke had badgered him for over a year, this is well documented in historical interviews. Sunderland took over a year to agree the deal due to the lack of cash up front and Bruces desire to try and motivate the lazy player ( You stoke fans must know he can only be bothered to play 1 in every 3 games ).
Secondly, can someone answer this - If you have 500M and you were being chased for the final 4-6 million why would you not just pay it ? In smaller terms but just as relative If I had £500 in my pocket and I owed £4 I would just pay it.
Based on this the club cannot have money, and why have you no new players yet ? This does not stack up if you have a wealth of cash. Clubs with real money like Sunderland ( Owned by a multi billionare), Man U and Liverpool are buying now.
I shall let you draw your own conclusions but the proof is in the pudding
Well said ...... Stoke might be in europe now but the pressure of it will send them down. bye bye stoke city and your dillusional fans
It's about being shrewd and not spending 'stupid' money, we'll see where our respected clubs finish. Stoke are a team on the up with good, solid foundations.
Stoke = Cloggers.

LOL, Leeds a small club. When did Southampton last feature in Europe? Last win the league? Rickie Lambert? I'd sooner take an Irish league player.
You'll be relegated this season. As Southampton are the pits of English football.
MOT - and an easy 6 points next season.
Just remind me who are the most hated club in English football......oh thats right Leeds
I LOVE LEEDS. marching on together, if you hate us so much, leave us alone.

Coventry City's owners, SISU, are looking to slash the annual wage bill (admin, coaching and playing staff) by almost half from last year to this. An offer has been placed by an unnamed Club for Ben Turner, which is being seriously considered. The Club already has Richard Wood, James McPake, Richard Keogh, Martin Cranie and Nathan Cameron who can fill in at centre back. No confirmation on who the offer is from, although the centre back has been linked with Norwich and Birmingham. He is 22 and was broadly average (with all the right characteristics of a centre half), until last season. He was imperious at the back and carried a real goal threat for the first half of the season, before injury. 6ft4, confident, fairly athletic and strong... if we recoup anything approaching £800k (a rough guess at a figure) to stave off administration for a little longer, the deal sounds like a fair one all round. The downside as a Coventry fan is that we lose a decent player and, more so, that it may give our incapable board a little more staying power.
Think turner is coming to norwich for around 1/2 m
norwich and coventry have history of deals with each other

Finally League 1 team Tranmere to sell Jennings and Creswell to Bayern munich and sunderland respectively. they will use this money to buy 3-5 players including adam le fondre from rotherham to boost strikeing force nedxt year.
---------------------------------------------------
Creswell signed for Ipswich today, and don't think Rovers can re-invest the money from his compensation as I'm not sure it was agreed so will be determined by tribunal. That'll be about 50 pence then. Dale might still join Bayern, but whatever we get for him won't all be re-invested in the squad, so we will not have enough money to buy Le Fondre. Our transfer record has stood at £450,000 since 1994/5 and, imo, is unlikely to ever be broken. Rotherham won't sell ALF for that figure, never mind less, so he won't be coming. If Tranmere do sign him I will happily post naked pictures of myself eating several hats

Just to clear up the Oldham finances, the debt is upward of £6 million which is covered by the current owners but this is all in the way of a loan to the club and not gifted.
The deal taking Dale Stephens to Charlton was £375,000 payable by instalments, there was a down payment of £100,000.
Therefore the owners would have to sell the club to get money back owing to them so in actual fact oldham athletic owe nothing
That's very strange logic but you're right to an extent that the owners are basically stuck with the club and would never get their money back by selling it.
However if they were to sell the club for significantly less and keep the ground, they could charge OAFC a rent to play there, which is probably the most likely outcome, either way they'll never get their investment back in full.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if Ken Bates could match the ambition of the Leeds United supporters. close to 30, 00 Leeds fans hand over £30 per home game in the age of austerity to support the local team. that is £900000 per home game . appreciate there are running costs and overheads but this must be a decent haul for a championship club.
Come on Ken put your hand in your pocket for players.
We not that bothered about an ice scating ring or a business conference centre at Elland road.
we would much prefer some quality players to get promoted to the premier leauge.
HA Fantasist.

Source : Daily Echo - Jack Cork. Bid accepted by Chelsea. But same with Blackpool. I reckon he will sign because he will be able to get into the first team. He will not go to Burnley I believe as he has seen what happened to Charlie Austin after he joined the club in January. Cork will probably sign due to having a loan spell at Southampton in the 2008-2009 season I think and also having meet Nigel Adkins at a different Club.
__________
What he is going to dislocate his shoulder like Austin? think you need to find out why players dont play. Cork has said many times that he wants to join burnley, he loved his time with us.
---------------------------------------------------
Tbh do Eddie Howe did'nt really give Austin much of a chance before he dislocated his shoulder. The thing is Blackpool and Southampton have both had bids accepted for Cork which Burnley Have'nt. Also Howe is'nt intersted in Cork, He did'nt loan Cork in Laws did.
-------------
From what i can remember Austin played every game before he dislocated his shoulder. Howe has said securing cork and McCann are his top priorities. Yeah obviously Howe didn't loan cork in because he was allready with the club so why would he show interest in loaning him if he was allready at Burnley?

Aberdeen could not afford the wage of McFadden.He is on EPL wage, if he signs the new two year deal at Birmingham.It was triggered when they went down.But can also leave for free, if he does not take the option.He can easily find another EPL club, as he is only 28.Aberdeen cant even afford Natch Novo, s wages, bye the sound of it.Auld Broon says he does not want him.Cos it will up set a lot of Aberdeen fans.Aye right he would be a hero.Cos he could still bang them in for fun in the SPL.Since when did Craig Brown, start being such a yellow belly?Letting morons in the support dictate to who he can sign.Just cos Novo was a ex Rangers player?Its not as if, your filling your ground every match anyway.To have to worry about fans not turning up.Brown should grow a pair.If the money for his wage is there.I doubt that it is though.And your talking about a better player in McFadden LOL at Aberdeen fans.
Your right, no Aberdeen fan wants some dodgy old ex person in the team and by the sounds of it, the rankers fans are actually wanting him back for themselves....just goes to show they have no faith in any of the rumours of higher waged players actually signing.
I do not know of any Rangers fan that wants Novo back.He was warming our bench for the two seasons.Just a squad man nothing more nothing less.Who got in when there was injuries.Now Novo, s agent is saying that he never offered him to Aberdeen.The wee man could score goals for any SPL team.Maybe Kilmarnock should try for him.As he would be close to Glasgow.They got a lot of loaned players last year, from bigger leagues like in Italy.

Shrewsbury Town will today unveil the signing of former Bristol Rovers man Aaron Lescott. The older brother of England defender Joleon is currently playing for Walsall but his contract expired in the summer and he is looking to move to a bigger club.
VivaSALOPIA
LMAO His contract expired and Walsall did not offer him a new contract because he is not good enough to play at a LEAGUE 1 standard. He is a awful defender so good to you
---------------------------------------------------
Same as last post. Lescott was released and not offered a new contract as he is not good enough. Shrewsbury's 'big club' status clearly wasn't enough to attract Mat Sadler who happened to sign for Walsall over Shrewsbury.

biggest shock in the prem history blackpool going up get over it we have , em , pne never
scottish football crap and spurs 4pts
leicester going down
and any more , no fingers left
maximus
Have you heard about any new transfer news maximus mate, especially regarding a goalkeeper?
Hey Blackpool, Cardiff, Rangers are you not supposed to be FAMILY clubs? This goodwillie guy has already TWO charges over him and seems a typical selfish shallow modern footballer with more money than sense, I only know my team Celtic would have nothing to do with him Big Jock Stein, Shankly Busby etc would have thrown this chancer out the door pronto Timalloy
Only news we have or goalie is that 18 year old from scotland just signed pro-form , been at club for 4 years
its a start
maximus
He has not been found guilty yet.So do not jump the gun.He would not want to play for your Celtic anyway.As your rank rotten, and he can find EPL or German club.The best place for him, to get him out of the gold fish bowl.If he walks from the court.
Maximus everything you write is utter tosh: perfectly exampled by 'leicester to go down'. Your a muppet like your appauling excuse for a club. The tinshed ground with your huuuuge attendances will play host to a nice easy 3 points this season.
Say bye to Adam and money grabbing DJ by the way.

Norwich fans, please, on behalf of the club we love stop embarassing us. We are not going to sign Raul Mereles or anyone from the Prem. Lambert, clearly, has a knack for getting the best out of lower-league players with the desire to perform at the highest level they can. This has brought us back to back promotions, not spending big or paying big wages. Everyone thinks we're gonna go down next season, I personally don't, but if this is achieved it will be through bargains and unexpected successes. If we do go down we do it with a team that can come back up again, and not in millions of pounds worth of debt. Debt is exactly what turned us from a great side in the late 80s/early 90s to the championship side we are perceived to be.
You build slowly.
Leeds, Forest, Derby - you are all great clubs with great history and I hope it happens for you, but do what we've done. Money is not the answer, team spirit and hungry players is.
Good post mate.....a swans fan who feels the same
A great side in the 80s/90s - reallly? What did you win in that time? The thick end of stuff all wasn't it? *Yellow budgie in rose-tinted glasses shocker*

West Brom are set to sign Stoke City legend Salif Diao on a free transfer to add some much needed bite to their lacklustre midfield.
-------------------------------------------------------
Lacklustre midfield? The same lacklustre midfield that contains Mulumbu and Scharner, the former bagging seven goals, having the highest interception rate in the league, and being on the top 5 for MOM awards in the whole league? Scharner needs no explanation, we all know what a battling midfielder he is. Some people eh?
Sharner and Mulumbu? I'd cry if I saw those two names on the Stoke team sheet. I'd rather have Doctor Umbogu bogu and his magical ju ju stick. I'd be very surprised to see WBA stay up next year.
Give it a rest Pikey....we know you wouldn't have Scharner and Mulumbu because they aint tall enough and they don't just whack the ball in the air. Oh yeah and as for us going down....didn't we finish above you last season?
Surprised? Who cares, you are a Stoke fan, you know nothing about football so your oppinion don't count. Next.
Pikey? Brilliant description, sadly it is about as accurate as your assessment of West Brom's midfield. As I sit here at my desk in one of Canary Wharf's vast temples of greed a chuckled for a second at that.
I am a neutral, supporting neither Stoke nor West Brom. And I can categorically state Mulumbu > any Stoke midfield player. Choose your battles a little wiser, city slicker.
*i chuckled*
You work in the city and you are a Stoke fan you must be very proud. You are a Pikey you may have escaped the benefits city and you may be able to construct a sentence and sneer but you will always be a pikey.

People can't say they're fed up with Southampton fans being all big headed and whatever because of John Arne Riise - None of us thought of him he's way out of our league It's what various newspapers and websites speculating this we're just following the news on, also that post said "..is linked to Southampton" not that he was actually signing, I wouldn't put anything past our chairman because of his Italian links and the signings he's got us from Italy so far have been amazing, but even I struggle to believe this one It won't happen but it's nice to see such a brilliant, Champions League winning player being linked with our club; Give us a break guys.

You've got to laugh at certain Man City fans (SSN), they were told of the possibility of signing Nasri but some of them were saying "he wasn't exactly world class" or "they could sign better players than him", lol, 5 years ago these fans would have loved to have him at their club but because they have money they (think) they can sign anyone, news flash, you will NEVER sign world class players like Messi, Xavi, Iniesta or Ronaldo.
Any player who goes to City is because of the wages you pay them, nothing else. Man City are NOT a prestigious club like Barcelona, Real Madrid or Man Utd & you never will be.
There speaks a jealous Man U fan who realises another team can blow them out of the water. ie pay more. haha
LMFAO, i'm not a Man Utd fan, i support Huddersfield

Long time addict to your page - first time posting.
I'm an Arsenal fan and just want to make some remarks in general.
First off, I don't see any club pimping ManU to the title.
They already had a good team and did their buying early and with precision as to what they needed. Respect. If they also get a decent central midfielder may as well congratulate them.
I think arsenal will def be in the top 4 with Chelsea and ManCity.
Even though Liverpool seem to want to buy anyone who can walk halfway straight through the middle of the field, I'm not worried by them.
Hopefully Arsene has done his homework and lined up a replacement for Cesc and Nasri. Not worried about Clichy leaving. He's scrappy.
If we get a good CB and CF we might even push for the title, considering that Vermalen is almost like a new signing this term.
In Arsene we trust.
Cheers from New York.

Can people remind liverpool fans it isn't the 80's anymore, they are stuck in the past. No more glory days. 21years and counting since you won the league
Mid table for liverpool. Avram grant to takeover and send you into the championship.
Think mid-table is generous.
The 80's may have been a while ago, but 2005/06 wasn't Although, I fully expect that you have tried your hardest to forget about that
Thats better than most Lets face it, since then Utd have won the league thanks to Ref's and free points from Big Fat Sam Allardyce and Chelsea have just bought a few trophies
Brilliant Well done
Scousers are a mid table team, who cares about the 80's now that's long gone, they were very very lucky to beat milan in champs league 2005' milan just gave up, the scousers were not good like i said just got lucky that night, won nothing since thou fact
And Gerrard has got a bad injury. Thats what you get for carrying a skanky team for years.

Cresswell has signed for ipswich, tunnicliffe has signed for peterborough.
Not sure, wiggins has not signed
