LMAO..... Smithies will go for 3 million plus, you clown :OP

David Forde expected to join QPR if Paddy Kenny leaves for an undisclosed fee, in replacement Millwall trying to sign Alex Smithies from Huddersfield for around 575k.

Not one to upset the apple cart, however this is from a very reliable source close to the Miller family, Talks are not going so well and this guy wants to play for his old club Rangers, to be honest i believe this and actually wonder why we are signing a striker who is getting on a bit, yeh he scored a lot of goals with Rangers 23 i think but with buraspour he scored 5 in the same time. thats a big worry to me. especially when you think of our league

Think you answered your own question there mate - it proves how sh*t the Scottish league is

Liverpool could pounce for Saints starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Our chairman (Nicola Cortese) won't be bullied into any transfer and will only accept a bid which is cash up front with no add ons. With Wenger being so one dimensioned in the transfer window it is unlikely he will have the bottle to stump up the cash, more likely settle for an unknown french player.

Kenny focuses alot of attention on youth and Liverpools future generation already looks promising.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Sorry didn't he say he wanted to join a top 4 team not settle for mid table mediocrity..RAINFISHTROMBONE

I dont understand this "Robbie Keane, Jimmy Bullard to Brighton" nonsense.
These are two players who could play a decent role in quite a few Premier League teams. So expect them to go there, or in Bullards case he may stay put. But if either of them were to move to any Championship I'm pretty sure it would be either Leicester or West Ham, possibly Birmingham, with the prospect of playing in Europe next season. (Seem's very strange saying that)
Ed. Thoughts?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Mmm yer Robbie Keane, who could'nt hit a barn door with West Ham last year, and Jimmy Bullard who has played for all the top teams like Ipswich, Hull City and alot of hospital teams Why are'nt Barcelona kicking their doors down

Howard

Coleman
Heitinga
Cahill
Cissokho

N'zogbia
Defour
Banega
Holtby

Sturridge
Beckford

Believable0 Unbelievable0

The funniest bit is were you reckon you will get £50M for Fellaini and Rodwell.........couldn't read the rest because I was crying so much.

Agree0 Disagree0

How much you rating jags at then mate baines only worth about 15-20 so baines worth 30 mill , i dont think so. {Ed025's Note - if carroll is worth £35m...jones..£20m..henderson..£161/2m...then yes...baines is worth £30m...jags..£35m...and arteta..£25m....if teams are paying stupid money...we want our slice of it..

Agree0 Disagree0

Looks like they will all be staying at Everton then. {Ed025's Note - lets hope so

Agree0 Disagree0

Arteta £25m Champ manager time again.

£30M for Baines.......Coentrao went for that much and he is twice the player, I know Everton need money.............but have a word with yourselves.

Agree0 Disagree0

Fellaini 25m, rodwell 25m = 50m

Baines = best LB in the prem plus hes english so yes 25-30m, Jagielka 20m = 45-50m

Arteta 10-12m plus the sales of yakubu 4m yobo 4m bilyaletdinov 6m more players could come like holtby 6m, Saivet 4m, Honda (?)... and by the way i am the one that put up the first post and if u read it i said it will not happen it was just what could happen

NUFC Rumours:

After reading some of the supposed "rumours" on the NUFC page, I would like to confirm the following:

I have recently spoken to M Ashley and he has given me a position as part of the Cockney Mafia, he has provided me with the most wonderous information that I feel is my duty to communicate to the NUFC fans...

Striker:

Pushing to get Erdinc but he listens to his agent a bit to much, could happen if we up the agent fee to a cool million. £7mil + £50000 a week plus the £1mil agent fee.

Sturridge will only happen if we fail in getting Erdinc, this will be a loan ONLY with an option to buy later. Loan cost £5mil (plus 50% of wages) £15mil to make it permanent.

Enrique to go on deadline day and we'll get in a lacklustre replacement - to be decided on deadline day.

Tiote to go on deadline day with young M Albeid to be given his role.

CrawleyMag

Once this deal has been agreed Reading will be open to offers in the region of £10million for Shane Long with Newcastle the likely destination as Reading are happy to do business with Alan Pardew, having already rejected a bid of £7million plus Leon Best. Reading do not want a player-plus deal with Long.
-------------------------------------

Newcastle haven't bid for Long yet, the management want a higher profiler player at the club. Someone that has played consistently in a better league. Trust me Reading will bite a club's hand off for £7m, let alone £7m plus a decent player.

Talking is non-essential, their fans do enough of that (end of last season - we're going to get Beckham, Santa Cruz, middle of silly season - we're going to get Walker, Huth). Apparently money does grow on trees and what goes up doesn't necessarily go down.

What is it with everyone putting Brighton fans down, give them a break, you try going 13 years without a place to call home. There's a sense of optimism at the club, let them have there fun in the transfer window, Pass judgement on them when the season starts, I back them for top six easy.

Believable3 Unbelievable3

Well said I think they/we will do alot better then anyone is saying It is a great time for us at the moment, lovely new ground, great manager and chairman, and a great team spirt Only lost 1-0 to a very strong PSG team last night, and don't forget they are becoming the new man city with all their Qatar money

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure about the top six finish but it is great that Brighton have a permanent home. The new stadium looks good and things are looking up for them - the complete opposite to their bitter rivals who have a crumbling old ground and are looking like relegation favourites in the Championship.
