Richie Barker appointed Crawley Manager. On Crawley club website. More logical having a young up and coming manager to work with Director of Football Steve Coppell than late 50's O'Driscoll. Interesting that Crawley paid Bury compensation since one didn't see any mention of Forest paying any to Crawley for O'Driscoll.

Moussa Konate to sign for Stoke City for 2million early next week. Kenwyne Jones to leave for an overseas club during that time. A certain player who hasnt even been mentioned as a target is close to joining the Potters after 3weeks of talks. Also a player exchange plus cash is being considered by Stoke.

Hi all! I am a Bristol City fan, and just
saw us beat the GAS! Great start to
my holiday in Torquay. I saw them
play Stoke last night. Crouchie played.
He was awful! I saw two exciting
youngsters in Billy Bodin and Danny
Stevens. Now I know that Bodin has
signed for them from Swindle Town,
but what a player! Same goes to
Danny Stevens, a good winger. I also
saw two Championship scouts (Wolves)
and (Cardiff) at Plainmoor, and when
Stevens came off at half time, the
scouts left! Could Stevens be playing
in the Championship?

Pablo Hernandez signing for Swansea from Valencia for 6m, Valencia's asking price is nearer the 10m mark but due to the financial strain on all La Liga clubs, they will accept a total payment of 6m.

Also a top striker is on his way to the Swans, and the potential competition is already bringing the best out of Danny Graham, as he scored 3 and his overall play was excellent against Blackpool.

It makes me larf to read west ham rumours as follows:

Sam Allardyce hoping to push through
a move for Moussa Konate to strengthen
the west ham attack??

How can he strengthen when he still has
Cole,and is selling Maynard and
Baldock? This is simple maths

2 out and one donkey
who has proved he is useless left behind
leaves minus 2?

Sorry to say this but West Ham midfield really needs an overhall for this season.
Its time for Noble and O'Neill to go so
they can get a box to box midfielder
and a midfield iron man. Coupled with
Mohammed Diame and Kevin Nolan
this should make up a formidable midfield
.

A True sign of West Ham's buying power and how much budget they have has been
indicated by Sam Allardyce's Attempt to
buy a kid from Southend for £150k (refused)
and Olympic top scorer they bid £1.5m

Get a grip and put some real money
down if you got it which I think the
premier league can now see you havn;t.

Bristol Rovers head of youth Ken Oram is leaving the club. One the most promising young players he has helped develop, Shaquille Hunter, was publicly criticised by manager Mark McGhee after Saturdays defeat at Bristol City. The teenager suffered an injury late in the second half but McGhee was reluctant to let him leave the pitch and afterwards said he thought it was more a case of hurt pride. Hunter is expected to be out of action for 6 - 8 weeks.
