Doncaster rovers to attempt to buy Michael Owen from Manchester united, expected price they will pay is between 1m-1.5m

Peterborough's George Boyd has expressed his desire to leave London Road after being less than impressed with his clubs dealings this trasfer window. His preferred move would be to Middlesborough or Ipswich, but Barnsley and Reading seem to be the most keen on capturing the talented Midfielder. As yet, the expected transfer fee has not been released to the public.
I will keep you updated when I can.

POSH Chairman states this is rubbish and George has never
been happier. I agree this is b******s.

WHAT is going on at Wolves???? Someone please explain to me if we fanny about to the extent we loose out on signings to mid-championship teams how the HELL does anyone expect us to challenge for mid-table next year?

Best run club in England.. yes fine I agree with all that, but this is bloody ridiculous.

I suppose Rodger Johnson is out the window by now? Or is another club yet to capitalize on our epic fannying around with that transfer too?

Southend United's young striker Matt Paterson is to join Oxford United on their pre-season tour of the USA. A host of clubs including Walsall, Gillingham and Exeter await to see if he joins Oxford permanently.

______________________________________

And it none of you want him we'll have him back at Stockport County - the lad's a quality striker

The Scarf

Believable(10) Unbelievable (1)

------------------------------------------

Scarf, I undertand that Stockport have already made a bid for Paterson and it's on the table - the lad's too good for the Conference so I would expect him to sign for Oxford or even Walsall.

Watched him struggle in league 2 at SUFC. Conference is his level.

Was in the forest club shop this afternoon looking at the new away shirt and noticed that not a single shirt was printed with names or numbers yet. When asked why was told that mcclaren is waiting on five new signings before committing squad numbers to the FL. All five, including Reo-Coker and Routledge won't be done deals until late next week. Expect Zenden, Hargreaves and Maynard to sign on too.

coventrys james mcpake will knock back dundee united and sign for aberdeen after both clubs agreed a fee for him
---------------------------------------------------
We have an overabundance of centre backs at Coventry ( vying for 2 places). So McPake is possibly dispensible. Some Cov fans are undecided on him, with accusations of injury proneness. I am in the other camp. Everytime I see him, he is quality. Throw your face in the way of shots, decent pace, decent leap for someone not big, great in the tackle. A defenders' defender. I would definitely keep him, especially as we wouldn't get much money due to his recent injury record.

Coventry striker Lukas Jutkiewicz is one that Saints have had a fee agreed with. Which is thought to be around £650,000.
---------------------------------------------------
See previous comment, he will cost you more than that. We are stretched up front, he played lots of games and is very young and we paid more than that last season. Come in with an improved offer and test our dodgy board's resolve, otherwise get a new story.

Coventry City will announce administration this week as the process of a takeover is finalized. Once completed Coventry City will bring in 2 strikers and 1 midfield made up of 2 premier loan players and a league 1 gem.
---------------------------------------------------
Not true. The takeover would mean we do not go into administration and the bid has not been accepted. It has not been formally rejected as there were a couple of minor details with the paperwork to rectify. But SISU are unlikely to accept.

Bowyer has signed for Ipswich. Strange how he chose to play there instead of Leeds - especially when all there fans have been writting that they would sign him.

Its also strange that he decided to play for Ipswich over his 'Beloved' Leeds, and there 'Beloved' fans.

Is it that Ipswich are a bigger club? Or that Leeds arent a Big club?

We all know its the latter - but either way hahahahaha

Manchester United already have their 20th league title.
Liverpool fans claim the 1942-43 League North Second Championship as the uncounted 19th title
Manchester United won the same competion in 1941-42 season.
Between 1939 and 1946 normal competitive football was suspended in England. Many footballers signed up to fight in the war and as a result many teams were depleted, and fielded guest players instead. The Football League and FA Cup were suspended and in their place regional league competitions were set up. Appearances in these tournaments do not count in players' official records.

These are facts ED
Not abuse FACTS

Believable2 Unbelievable3

I love the fact that people are disagreeing with this. Is quite strange that for a club that lives on its history because its present is so rubbish, Liverpool fans dont know anything about history You can all have number 19, but means we are on 20, your next one is definitely not on the horizon, world class signings on Adam and Henderson....what a joke.

{Ed010's Note -why aren't you on the Rangers pages asking that question lol

Seriously though, there has been lots of different figures being banded about in the media but there is one man in the know on here and that is Ed002. He is an ardent Blackpool fan and has friends in high places with the club. I asked him and he categorically stated that Rangers get 20% of any profit over £500k

Agree0 Disagree0

I am a Rangers fan.And somebody posted on our pages, that Blackpool had not even paid us the original half a million yet.I am happy we are getting the cash.Maybe we can go in with a better bid for Goodwillie now.Once his trial is over if he walks.I would also like Murray Davidson of St Johnstone to come.Good midfielder is box to box, big and strong and tall.We could mould him into a top holding midfielder, cos he can tackle to.And he is only 23.I would go and bid for him.But I doubt we will now.Or we would have done before we went away to Germany.He is a player though, who I cant see staying for to long in the SPL. {Ed025's Note - good post.

Agree1 Disagree1

I'm A Blackpool Fan And Down Hear The Word Was And still Is that Rangers Get 20%, Ollie Gets 20%, Oyston Gets 10% And Valeri Belokon Gets 10%. And Blackpool Latest Any Eds.? {Ed003's Note -Holloway gets nothing like 20 %, 1 or 2 % might be nearer the mark}
