Does anyone think Harry will leave QPR and possibly go to Everton?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

He could. And get them relegated.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ah yes, magical Harry "Houdini" Redknapp.

He can make a team disappear, from the Premier Legaue.

After initially wanting to rejoin Portsmouth, Papa Bouba Diop has officially retired after failing his medical and failing to regain his fitness. Diop was in England visiting friends and has now moved back to France.

Can't understand for the life of me, why bayern deem fit to buy players they clearly don't need. If the lewandowski for 25 million comes to fruition then they'll have 5 players of the same ilk in that position. Think lewandowski will find himself to no longer be the main man. Gomes didn't even come on till injury time on Sat!

It's very simple really. Keep buying the best opposition players purely to prevent anyone else from having them. Effective but hardly very "sporting".

Man City and Chelsea come to mind.

Will Michael Laudrup walk if he is stopped from signing the players he needs and wants to launch the new campaign for 2013/2014. (South Wales Evening Post 25th May). Really hope not. Huw Jenkins Jenkins is cautious but not stupid.

Derby County will be playing a 433 formation this coming season:

This will allow Craig Bryson, Jeff Hendrick and Will Hughes to play together in the middle with Hughes lying a bit deeper than the other 2. Paul Coutts will be CM cover.

Up top the 3 will float more, to prevent the formation from becoming negative and falling into a 451:

Sammon, Martin, Ward, Jacobs and another player to occupy the 3 attacking positions.

In terms of transfer targets Derby are looking for:

A CB on loan for 6 months until Barker is fit
Craig Forsyth at LB
James Vaughan as the 4th striker and failing that Simeon Jackson or Johnny Russell
Then Harry Forrester or Jon Taylor (who will give a different option in attack to the 433)

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Thanks for the insight Nigel!

Paul Dickov is typical appointment of Doncaster Rovers (cheap appointment) john ryan states he wants to do well you can't in football on the cheap.
The players they have have all near enough been released by championship clubs last season so they wasnt good enough then. And now Dickov wants half the Oldham team that no offence to any oldham fans struggled in league 1 so he wants to take their players to the Championship?
Stop being tite and spend some money.
An as for Doncaster fans not renewing their season ticket or anything Doncaster have one of the worse fan bases known.
anything above bottom place for rovers next season will be an achievement

an I know what i'm on about been a fan since I was 3. and been involved with the club

Believable0 Unbelievable0

This is about transfers, not about whether a player should stay and play in a different position

Agree0 Disagree0

Wait until you're 1-0 down in the 80th minute and he does nothing. He was tactically redundant. Nice guy but that gets you nowhere.

Agree0 Disagree0

does anyone else feel we should hold on to vermalean and try him in a DM role.
He has decent pace for a DM
can go forward and score
and
can make tackles
i know he's been in bad form over these last 2 seasons but maybe a new role would revive him.
What do people think?

Arouna Kone next transfer will depend on where Martinez goes. If he does take the Everton job don't be too surprised if Kone is the first signing aswell as McArthy, that deal depends if he can generate the funds from selling Fellaini

Believable0 Unbelievable0

McCarthy to Everton?. get real, There are big clubs home and abroad queing up for him. Why would he want to choose Everton above the likes of Arsenal, Spurs et al.

Agree0 Disagree0

So let me get this right, your saying that Kone will follow Martinez where he goes. Sort of like a little puppy love thing. How silly a comment can you make.

Agree0 Disagree0

Im ashamed to be a stoke fan as stokies will get stoke relegated. They moaned to sack Pulis now he has gone they want him back. well too late. Now they moan at us contacting Mark Hughes well who else do they expect? Martinez or Di Matteo more likely to go everton, Benitez going Napoli, Poyet most likely to stay at Brighton despite suspension. They will end up with Hughes and they won't even give him a chance if we do get him and that will mean we will get relegated next year. Stoke fans turn on everyone in the end, Peter Coates, Tony Pulis and pre-Mark Hughes
