Liverpool need a striker, a left back and a good cm if they want titles next year

I thought they had a great striker in carroll, face it , liverpool need a hell of a lot more than what they have already, top 6 and maybe a few dreams at times but top 6 and no better than that, you might win the league cup or fa cup, not that they are worth it anymore sadly

LFC need another CM? You kidding right? A LB and another winger yes.

Question

Grant Holt's early career was spent on and off in non-league clubs and a brief spell in Singapore.

The definition of home grown is trained for three years under the age of 21 by somebody in the English and Welsh professional system.

This being the case is Grant Holt home grown or not home grown?

Huddersfield = Massive

Leeds = Tiny

Both= awful

Least people outside of the UK have heard of Leeds...

I'm a Southampton fan and some people do put sh*t on here, people say we are "deluded" about signing Nicky Maynard but as a realistic Saints fan I think that is a possible move. Southampton are going in the right direction, they have the money and the facilities to attract players like Maynard. Realistically I think we can target top ten, most Southampton rumours are behind closed doors so don't make stuff up. Nick.KA is the only reliable person on here.

Southampton are not very good mate. hopefully u will get relegated.

Kyle walker is new left back at tottenham and has a gr8 england future. no chance of going to QPR lol. We even ended his loan early last year so he could player a better level of football.

Kyle Walker is a right back ?

I am sick of hearing theses ridiculous rumours day in day out

Everything at Southampton is done behind close doors so stop saying so and so is signing for saints unless your name is Nigel Adkins or Nicola Cortese

Saints will be extremely lucky to get promoted this season any thing above the bottom 3 is a bonus this league is a lot stronger than league 1

Leicester seem to think buying the league will win it for them... It hasn't won man city the premier league the last two seasons.. 3rd is the best they can achieve. West ham and Birmingham are surely favourites and Blackpool won't be too far behind. The same old faces as last year will be around the playoff positions.

Thankyou and good night from a saints fan.

=========================

Southampton to be relegated? your blatantly not a true Saints fan. I put a £10 bet on them, West Ham and Leicester to get promotion this season. Stop spewing utter crap. Blacpool are completely out of the running now - they have lost Adam, Puncheon, Varney and Campbell and Kingson to name a few, I would not be too suprised to see them do poorly - a mediocre squad, manager and fans to say least.

29 Jul 2011 21:46:24
I'm surprised by the saints fan who thinks anything above the bottom 3 will do I'm a saints fan and think we have a better team than Blackpool and Birmingham and thin we will finish in the top 6 coyr

If Ipswich are a big club then they have been underacheving for years, Just like west ham living in there pastMillwall are known Worldwide, Have films made about them, We have worldwide surport from the likes of AS ROMA, , FEYANORD, Den haag, and the mighty GALATASARY, Id rather be part of a notorius club than a bunch of carrot crunchers whos surporters only turn out when there in the premeir league, To be honest i dont care what league were in or who were playing you all bottle it@The Den,

29 Jul 2011 21:06:22
How stupid are you? blackpool have got lots of good players and if we haven't got goodwillie fine but blackpool will definately be above southampton

The 8.5 million pound bid for a striker from Leicester City was for......Peter Crouch

Hes for sale and Sven gave him his England debut

Can i please be the voice of reason and remind the people on here that it is in fact a rumour site and not a fact site. Im a Leicester city supporter and it sounds like we are now the most hated team in the championship this seems to be down to people reading to much into things they read on here, im all for a bit of banter but its getting out of control why? we have spent a few £s we signed a few players, so is this not what teams do in the transfer window? so teams have a bit more cash than others sorry but thats football, Leicester were a selling club for a long time before the take over so now we have the cash we have to be conservative and hope for the best? just remember the new rules will be enforced soon and it will be even harder to get promoted and thats why there are investing now rather than later come on football fans surley this is what you would all want your clubs? dont belive the hype

29 Jul 2011 20:06:35
Rangers fan here

You guys are about to sign David Goodwillie from Dundee Utd. A £2.8m fee has been agreed. Wanted him badly at Ibrox but next best thing signing for my favourite English team :) All the best for the new season. {Ed025's Note - which team?

29 Jul 2011 19:49:13

To Norwich
Us Millwall fans never wanted Steve Morison since last september, Most of his Goals for us were from the penalty spot anyway, check it out for yourselves, He has never scored against a premier league defence, For wales against England never got a chance against Terry or Dawson, I really like some of the signings youve made, All seem to be exciting and i believe your heading in the right direction, But MORISON is a championship player and will probaly be back at stevenage on loan next season

I'm loving all the '...coming from a youth team player...' , ' ....I know Chambo....' '....paper boy...' type rumours coming up about Saints. Yeah right, I'm sure NA and NC discuss potential targets with the players, staff and the kit lady Get real. I would be very surprised if more than the people in the boardroom know anything at all until the deals are done.
A fast striker is all I think we need now. I'm pretty happy with the rest of the squad

Why do Blackpool think one season in the premier league make them a big club 100 years ago maybe saints will finish in the top six
no team that came down will go up two more big signings for saints at that will be us set up for a good season by the way Blackpool fans 2.0 FA Cup as a div one side wake up and smell the roses

No one saying we are a big club we will do well to get in top ten but what we are saying is your team is rubbish and def wont be in top six , brighton have more chance than you get real and if the pop gets you like this , then stay off it

USAIN BOLT on trail with Norwich city in this weekends fixture

This is a real deal rumour and if he does well could be in premiership action in two weeks

He is obviously quick...but has anyone actually seen him play? is he any good? not a Norwich fan but this is a class rumour...imagine some of the slow defenders in the prem trying to keep up with him will be hilarious

29 Jul 2011 15:10:44
Please, please, please stop posting absolutley ridiculous rumours about Leicester City. I know this is a rumour site but some off the lateset posts are beyond stupid. Last night at least 60% of the rumours were about Leicester and it is spoiling what is a great and entertaining site. Ed if you keep allowing these posts to be uploaded you wil lose most of your followers.

Oh grow up for goodness sake. Its up to you if you believe them or not.

The clues in the title person RUMOUR

29 Jul 2011 14:53:05
Hang on a minute is this the same norwich who score all there goals in the 97th minute? Some strange connection to fergie there Millwall wouldnt take hargreaves and wont sell henry p.s' morison is very average and takes about 8 chances per goal If henry is going any where he would be replaced with jason puncheon Thanks

29 Jul 2011 13:34:35
In reply to "i must say this...never have been and never will be big clubs, " I'd just like to state that ITFC were arguably the top club in Europe in 1981. The 4-1 away victory against top side St. Etienne (UEFA, 1/4 final, 1st leg) was generally hailed as one of the best performances by an English club in Europe up to that time. We live by our history at ITFC, but I can forgive you for probably not being old enough to know this.

Lot of respect for ITFC but that was 30 years ago - move on or jog on tractor boy...

29 Jul 2011 13:28:47
Did u say who is james henry? He is real quality but it would appear ipswich dont notice talent thats why they let trotter leave for millwall lol

29 Jul 2011 12:51:46
Leicester City, arguably the Championships biggest club and certain promotion favourites are set to pull off a coup later today as they add both Craig Bellamy AND Robbie Keane to their squad, both players will be on show at the Real Madrid game tomorrow although neither are expected to play a part.

Sven has said that he wants two players per position and with Yakubu refusing to budge on his over the top wage demands, Sven has gone back to his former club for Bellamy. The wages are similar but Bellamy is £2m cheaper than Yakubu @ £2m which will offset the wages.

Keane is coming in on a season long loan, the same as Michael Johnson who was signed yesterday. Again, the lack of fee means his wages can be comfortably covered.

I think we can safely say that the NM saga is over, there is still a hint of Heskey coming back to Leicester but nothing concrete.

100% FACT.

Ahh, i see my mistake. In order to fool the dimwitted editors in publishing my lies, i simply don't make a reference to my game of fishing for muppets. They happily publish every ridiculous rumour that gets posted but if you actually tell them that it's a game, even they can grasp that it should be in the banter section.

Eds, you're either all seriously stupid, or you're happy to post bulls**t rumours on the rumours page for the fun of it - which is it? If it smells like bulls**t, looks like bulls**t and tastes like bulls**t then surely it should be obvious?

Last night saw about 20 awful 'rumours' posted within a few minutes of each other, all were about Leicester signing someone they could never hope to sign and all were published to the main rumour site and not to the banter page which is where they belong if they're not posted straight to the bin.

Do the site a favour and get real. I'm sick of seeing these horses**t rumours. We all know the bulk of rumours are rubbish anyway but an endless stream of "Leicester are signing" is jusr ruining the site. My own attempt merely served to highlight the bias being shown on here. You're running the risk of driving people away with your attitude. {Ed07's Note - So you want the editors to cut out posting BS rumours but allow you to do it because you find it "funny". It is a rumours site, hence if people send in rumours they get posted. If you are so fed up seeing horses**t rumours then stop trying to post them yourself, that would be a start wouldn't it? I have also noticed you like answering your own posts, what is that all about??}

Oh he answers his own posts does he? Says it all.

Well said ed some people take this all so seriously

29 Jul 2011 12:37:32
Goodwillie will not go to southampton because they are not that ambitious he will also not go to Cardiff because they are in wales and they got two good strikers so he's definitely coming to Blackpool

Not to sure about that , but he would be good for us

i see there has been a lot of talk on here about who is a bigger club Millwall or Ipswich because of Ipswich trying to buy James Henry.

Ive made a list of things to see and who win
Stadium. Ipswich
Location. Millwall
Current squad. Ipswich
Finance. Ipswich
Wages. Ipswich
Tropheys. Ipswich
Fans. Millwall/Ipswich
Owners. Ipswich
History. Ipswich
Managers. Ipswich
Youth set up. Ipswich

cant really agree with this at all

Stadium. Millwall been to both grounds ipswich's is worse

Location. Millwall

Current squad. Ipswich/Millwall about even cant argue based on where teams finished last season, both lost key players too.

Finance. Millwall/Ipswich both have wealthy owners who have cleared alot of debt from both clubs.

Wages. Millwall/Ipswich due to the above.
Tropheys. Ipswich

Fans. Millwall are some of the best fans in the country ipswich just arnt.

Owners. Millwall/Ipswich

History. Ipswich

Managers. Millwall all day long jackett is one of the longest serving managers in the english league, whereas Jewell has been sacked by 3 of his last 4 clubs, the other he left before he got sacked. so expect him to be sacked from this one, dont go hoping ipswich fans.

Youth set up. Ipswich

Both Team won there home games in the league, so i call it fairly even but based on the guy who did this before.

4 - 3 Millwall

You must be one sad dude to take time to write all that down. Get off your park bench, take your flask and plastic bag with you and do one. You need help.

29 Jul 2011 11:59:28
Who is this James Henry fella anyway? Millwall giving it the biggun because they finished higher than us in their first season. Ipswich haven't been out of the top 2 leagues since 1959 As Bobby Robson said Ipswich are a big small club and thats fine by me We have a fine footballing tradition and I would rather support a club with these traditions than be a apart of a club that revels in its thuggery

29 Jul 2011 11:40:54
Hull are facing a centre back crisis with both Hobbs and Mcshane doubtful for start of season, leaving only 1 centre half fit. Dont be surprised if they go in for a Prem centre half on loan to cover. Ayala from Liverpool being most likely. Would love him on a perm deal (available for 1m) but financial problems with all the fat cats still there (Bullard, Ghilas, Olofinjana etc) on high wages mean some will have to go before Hull can afford to buy. Cant see who is going to be mad enough to take Bullard on 45k per week off our hands

29 Jul 2011 11:27:33
Reports that Leeds are due to sign Keith Andrews from Blackburn for 1m are wide of the mark. Ken Bates is actually looking at signing Keith Harris and Orville from Blackpool to form a strike partnership to ease our striker crisis. Ken Bates has said that Orville will cost chicken feed compared to other strikers that are on the market and is an exciting young prospect seen as he's not long been out of nappies. I have this on good authority by my friend cuddles the monkey.

Sounds funny but without bechio we are going to struggle we need another centre forward who can hold the ball up and score goals, they dont come cheap.

29 Jul 2011 11:10:56
repsonce to: Ha Ha these leicester fans are becoming a joke, when did you lot come so good at comedy? Havent got a clue about football, for example saying you are signing reo- coker when he's already signed a contract with bolton and saying you gonna get defoe for 6 million, for one hes worth around 20 mil and secondly why would he wanna go to a small club like leicester, when he can still play in the prem?

Why are you all so bothered about leicester? Is that because your teams are not making any noise? blind jelously I'm afraid. If it goes t*ts up for us then fair enough, but the owners want a crack at the prem so we're enjoying the ride.
Reo-Coker post before said he was going to Leeds not Leicester, so please read carefully or you look the fool

Also the Wayne routlege news internation al "first hand phone info". I assume he obtained this by illegal phone hacking then? such is the discrace surrounding that organisation at the mo.

Rant over. focus on your own boring teams.

29 Jul 2011 10:56:37
Mansfield Town for sure - they have are a honest run club who can pay for the players they have

29 Jul 2011 10:33:44
Charlton=Massive

Millwall=Tiny

Crystal Palace=Tiny


This is my opinion, im also talking about money, charltons old chairman admitted that we were close to go into administration, but now the new owners are in, and a 'Mr X' owns 49% of the club with the owners whos names we know own 51%, this 'Mr X' is one of the Suadi Arabian Royal family who is loaded, he might not be Suadi Arabian, but he is definatley from a royal family from a middle eastern country who is loaded (and millwall and CP are poor)

29 Jul 2011 10:19:28
Norwich and millwall have a lot in common - steve morison has now scored for them both, they both got promoted from league one in same season and are both now BIGGER than the pikey tracktor boys

29 Jul 2011 10:12:42
Been watching the milk cup in ireland (via the net), teams from all over the world take place, seen two players worth keeping an eye open for with regards to the future? Jack barmby of man utd & kenny mcevoy of tottenham, both still very young but looked very very good

29 Jul 2011 09:41:25
Ed, just a suggestion, to save space on this website can we just have the players that are not signing for Leicester, would be a lot quicker to read, YAWN

29 Jul 2011 08:40:28
Millwall= Massive

Ipswich= Tiny.

Millwall tiny

Huddersfield massive
