Hughton has got his man - Craig mackail smith , hopefully he will provide the energy Norwich need up front as help for the tireless holt !!

About right another championship player for a soon to be championship team that's why your never do anything because you don't pay any money for top players mind you no top player will play for you

No one has got CMS yet, loads of clubs chasing him , not just the carrot crunchers

It just shows how little you know bout football. There is noway norwich will go down. U must have to much time nothing to do

Sad Ipswich fan above do you want him?because you won't get Campbell your skint.

More chance of Ipswich getting Campbell then you getting bent or crouch cms or any other little dream you have cause you ain't got any money and you 100% won't pay money out lol

Why would Norwich go for CMS when they have the ability to stick £6m in the pot for Charlie Austin or shoot for Hooper at Celtic ? Is that the sort of ambition Houghton has....if so I think we'll be seeing you soon in the Championship

Because you havn't or would pay 6mill simple as that

And 4 defeats on the trot, dropping like a stone

With Rafa wanting to make his own stamp on his Chelsea team expect him to make up to 5 signing this transfer window with 2 of these expected signings being Demba Ba and Theo Walcott, with Chelsea also being intrested in David Villa, Luke Shaw and Dan Agger

5 Signings !! Chelsea aready have enough players for 2 Premiership teams and cant get it right and your telling us you need another 5. If this is the case then its just another embarressing illustration of how some clubs are being run by buffoons with No knowledge and No coaching ability. Cant wait to see the money run out.

Looks like shaw may have played his last lge game for soton , chelsea poised with the cash

Birmingham may be forced to sell Jack Butland to Liverpool because of their Financial situation.

Butland will go in January but not to Liverpool.

Matty Phillips to Norwich

Matty Phillips is ready for Premiership and Blackpool will sell as his valua at end of season will be less than January due to playing in a poorer Tom Ince less Blackpool. Not sure that Norwich will be his destination.

Phillips has been awful all season, what is he meant to be a striker or a winger?He is not a winger in my book, he has no tricks and not much delivery.All he does is kick the ball past defenders and tries to beat them with pace.He will be found out in the EPL again if he moves there.And it shows us just exactly how bad Scotland is just now, picking such a ordinary player.And I have nothing against him being English, guys like Rhodes, Bardsley, Mackie, Morrison do it for us. {Ed003's Note - He has hardly played this year through injury? 'found out in the Prem again'? he got rave reviews.}

No Ed wrong again, he has played most of the season.Its just that he has not been noticed as his form went of the boil, when he was linked with a move to the EPL.Plenty of Scottish SPL players deserve a chance over him, such as Gary Mackay Steven, and even Ryan Frazer even if he has not played much.Both players have everything you need to be a winger, and have power pace skill and delivery, plus they can entertain. {Ed003's Note - Right so when I take my seat at Bloomfield Rd I'm halucinating and he has been playing loads? he was left out at the start of the season after handing a transfer request in, after the summer window he was slowy intigrated back into the team until he was in the starting 11 then got injured he has started 10 games,so who is wrong me or you? }

You he has made Scotland squads, and we do not pick players that are not playing for there clubs, especially from ordinary leagues such as yours.Maybe you think its Kevin you were watching instead?Since your a fan then, tell me what he has that makes him a EPL or international class player?Even Burke got more assists than he did last year for Birmingham and 14 goals. {Ed003's Note - You tell me seeing as you stated he has been awful all season ? or is the truth you have not seen him once? unbelievable.Oh and Kevin has hardly played}

I have saw him play 17 times this season for Blackpool, still you think that is not a lot of games.Are you going to answer a fair question?Want to tell me what he has, apart from blinding pace?As I do not see much of a footballer there.Hopefully when we get a new boss, he will see the same.The guys simply not international class in my eyes. {Ed003's Note - you keep contradicting yourself,find an argument with another englishman,you are boring me}

I am not looking for a argument and never asked for your nationality, why are you turning this into a Scotland V England thing?What is with the hostility, and why cant you answer my question?You sound quite a bitter person, could see you and Maximus getting on like a burning house, that he would wish was north of Berwick.

Any Stoke Rumours Edd!

Yes, you are punching above your weight......literally.

The league table does not lie

Qpr to be relegated & Harry to quit - very soon !!

Dont worry, he is never far away from his next sacking/mutual consent etc.

We will have harry at wolves

HARRY more likely to head to Reading if he doesnt remain at QPR. You have to remember he lives in Bournemouth at the bottom of the M3 so Reading will work well. Dont expect him to venture any further away cus it aint gonna happen.

Middlesbroughs big January move will be for birmingham winger Nathan Redmond the club is riddled with debt and will be forced to cash in on there top stars plus the fact that Redmond isn't the first name on the team sheet at the brum means they would be willing to sell for anywhere between £3 -£4 million
Zigic will be given a free transfer and will probably move to former club racing Santander in Spain butland will move to a premiership team and marlon king will join leeds for £2 million

Ha ha stick to fifa redmond would never join boro for starters you ant even got 4 million.

Zigic wages too high which has been the problem with Birmingham offloading him earlier.

How long will sturridge last at pool before he falls out with Suarez !! They are both greedy & never pass !!

Suarez doesn't need to pass , he scores when he wants

^^Agree with that. Sturridge is greedy and hardly scores.....spot the difference?

Ed... any news on who is the leading candidate for the director of football role at plymouth argyle. Hopefull its o.driscoll as he apparently is good mates with carl fletcher and I think he would be great for the club. {Ed013's Note - No afraid not and he is linked with Barnsley job}

McInnes saved his job with the win yesterday and I think he knows this. Frantically now trying to bolster squad before being hit with Millwall, Leicester and Leeds. Personally I think we will be lucky to get 3-5 points out of these games unless changes occur. But which sucker wants to come to Bristol ?

The West Countrys massive club are on a one way ticket to League One and oblivion.

One of the crimes of the Century how this club has been mismanaged on the field over recent years.

What massive club terrible support not even biggest club in there city

West Country never been a football location and loaded with Rugby teams. Needs a great management personality to coach, attract and deliver rather than simply trying to buy in players who dont perform with consistency. They tried with COPPELL but something went amiss. Personally I would edge for MARK HUGHES who needs to repair his credibility. McINNES is not the guy
