Believable0 Unbelievable5

Jacob Butterfield will not go to Reading to sit on your bench, far better then that.

Agree0 Disagree0

We need another ST and LB. That team should be OK because there is no huge changes but strengthen our weaknesses.

I reckon Adam Johnson and Michael Owen would be perfect fits for Southampton, both have experience and Owen's runs would be perfect for Lambert lay off plus Adam Johnson has the perfect balance with Lallana

Believable3 Unbelievable1

They would be ideal, both only want short deals and neither would want to play in the championship, so they can go to soton, spend a season getting hammered whilst picking up a huge pay packet, then dump the club when they get relegated. Ideal, hope it happens... putting your future in the hands of Michael Owen, talk about desperate!

Agree0 Disagree0

I am a Saints fan, i am sorry i just cant see signings like this happening, Owen wages will be a problem and Johnson wages will be a problem unless we get him on loan and city contribute to his wages, if that is the case then more established Prem clubs will probable get him. I think we need to look at the better Championship players, abit like Norwich did.
Dont get me wrong would love to see Owen, Johnson and all the other big names mentioned on here for us by Pompey fans, just stuggle to them happening.

Agree0 Disagree0

No desperate is you situation at Skate land thats despetate. I would shout to load anyway when your team has been striped bare by BC you will hammered every week in league 1.
I think you have more things to worry about concerning your own club then worry about who we will or wont sign.

Agree0 Disagree0

No chance

Agree0 Disagree0

Apperently im not sure how true it is but johnsons only on 25-30 k wolves was after him before he signed for city n our highest player is r johnson on 40k so he wouldnt be no where near that much

leicester want mame diouf from man utd as well as frazier cambell from sunderland


jermaine beckford looks set for a 3 million pound move to the premier league with qpr, west ham, reading, southampton, sunderland, stoke all interested in the striker who has netted 14 goals this season. young prospects adam smith(GK) and tom hopper(CF) both look set to join league 1 side doncaster on season long loans.

ritchie wellens is attracting interest from ipswitch, burnley and leeds and andy king is a 2.5 million target for bolton and blackburn

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Diouf went to germany on a permentant deal in january bit late

Agree0 Disagree0

Aside from the above; Beckford scored 15 goals, not 14, and Nigel Pearson doesn't discuss transfers in the media, other than the 99% he made up, this clown is spot on.

Im a charlton fan, and some of these rumours are ridiculous! We're looking at a possible squad of 60+ for next season. Pipe down all of you fake fans that are getting excited cos Charlton got promoted. Just leave it to the board and Powell to make the decisions as most of these are stupid!

Sean O'Driscoll to take two ex Bournemouth yuoth strikers in Sam Vokes and Matt Paterson to Crawley Town. Vokes will cost 100K, Paterson is a free agent.

cant see vokes being sold for as little as 100k, also doubt he would go to league 1


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

Voles can not even score gls at L1 level so over priced

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

Vokes scored 16 goals in Lge1 when Bournemouth got relegated in 07/08 and he was only 19 years old

Believable2 Unbelievable0

Matt Paterson decent signing not given fair chance at Southend, shame for us

Doncaster need to sign players immediately. The state of the team is in ruins with only 13 first team players in contract (although 5 youth players have been offered contracts also). The team could do with some experienced players to help change this young and learning talent into future stars. Nunez seems unlikely, he is way out of our league. Reeves at altrincham seems likely but he hasn't played FL football (therefore a gamble). I hear Beavon echoes around. Hopefully John Ryan can pull a few deals off this summer to get DRFC back to the championship.

Andrew Johnson has put pen to paper on a contract to join Queens Park Rangers. The deal will be announced within 2 weeks. Would have happened sooner as a fee was agreed in January but as soon as Hughes took over, Al Fayed would not deal with him. Plenty of clubs in for AJ, but he and his family wanted to remain in the area after an unsettled time in the North of the country whilst the forward was at Everton.

Luton town close to administration after failing to get back into the football league.
Two or three players(gray,pilkington,wilmott) lined up for moves to keep the cash coming in and keep the club afloat.
I feel a little bit sorry for them to be honest as although York were by far the better team today it must be said that their second goal was way offside.
Luton hoping to get £150000 for Andre gray.
After his exhibition of miskicks at wembley today that is very ambitious although he may be decent with another years experience if they can keep hold of him.

Rumour has it that blackpool fan maximus aka maxipussy will now have his mouth sewn up after blackpools loss to west ham.
So leicester didn't go up this season, were still investing for next season ;) blackpool will have to start a B&Q clearance sale...unlucky maxipus {Ed001's Note - you obviously don't understand finances, Blackpool have no need to sell, they are not short of money. Oyston, for all his faults, runs a very tight ship and no one is paid more than the club can afford.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Blackpool did far better than Max predicted all season. He got it right with Leicester though and was one of the few who said Saints 'would be up there'. I've had my banter with him as well but he obviously knows his football and this site would be lesser without him as is the Prem without Blackpool.

I remember on this very same site at the beginging of the season there was loads of Leicester fans on here giving it large, Sven was signing players for fun and you were going to walk the League blah blah blah...Now we only here from a few whys that did your season not go to plan?
At least Maximus is on here supporting Blackpool no matter how they are doing whether good or bad.
I no which Championship team i will be supporting next season. Come on Blackpool.
