Stoke City are keeping a keen eye on transfer negotiations between Wolves and Sunderland regarding Steven Fletcher and will consider an 11th hour bid if the price is right

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Total BS - Stoke need to raise the money before they can sign anyone at that price level, and lets face it apart from Shawcross and Crouch who would raise any real money.

So, Lukaku's agent has told French press that Lukaku will definitely not be joining Fulham. I'm sure we should believe what a footballer's agent says, shouldn't we? Anyway, in the Premier League you need players committed to the cause, not loan players who are feeling they don't really belong.

If anyone could post a true rumour with a reliable source that would be brilliant. Brighton have been linked with I'd say 8 strikers this 'summer' and none have happened. McCormack has supposedly signed a 3 yr, so obviously that is not happening. Back up your rumours otherwise no one's going to believe it...

I am very much happy that we did not succeed in signing Lucas Moura.We can now look at our problems and tackle them.We need a world class CM who can rise to the occasion when the need arises-like playing against Barcelona,Real Madrid,Bayern midfielders.

Derby are signing 2 more players
and thats it both are strikers.

Bret pitman-Bristol city

As seen on the DET the chairman
said a Barker type fee will be spent on
Striker to those non Derby fans thats
1-2 Million.

We were present at the Dundee
united v Hibs game with 2 scouts.

Told by many Johnny Russell is the
guy we want.People thinking he would
cost loads are wrong he has never
been prolific scorer and thats why
celtic refused to up their 1.2 bid.

Steve davies was sat in the stands
last night to watch the Derby take
on Belper and was Bullied with
questions from fans during the game.
He said the reason he wasnt playing
tonight was because he wanted to
play agianst Sunderland.His wife
wanted a Move to London for a
Job Opptunity and they have been
looking into the options of transport
he said.He said he turned down the
contract because he wants a fresh
start and not be reminded of Past
Injuries.But he has been harassed by
players James bailey and Jamie ward
to stay as the players are all very
close.He Finished by saying we will
see how tomorrow goes.

Conclusion
If he dosent play hes going
If he does hes staying.

Sorry for the Essay

Just saw that Daniel Ayala has gone on loan to Forest. Don't understand this really as when he played against Chelsea we got our 1st clean sheet and he was solid with Whitbread who we have lost along with Naughton. Ayala was great for attacking football as he carries the ball quickly and is a great passer of the ball. Now we have lost 3 defenders and only brought one in. Can we rely on Ward and Barnett?

I have heard that Malky is so certain that moving everything he had at Watford to South Wales is the way forward that he intends to tempt Alice Grimshaw (kit lady aged 74) out of retirement with a salary of £1m a year and that he has been on eBay to buy a pile of bricks that were retrieved from the allotments recently.

Can someone please jog my memory, but
am pretty sure that Sam Allardyce said
he wanted all his transfer business complete
as soon as possible??

Looking now at the West Ham situation, only one word comes to mind and thats DIRE!

The squad they now have is dramatically weaker
than the squad they had in the championship
and they finished 3rd (may I again
remind you, IT WAS THE CHAMPION
SHIP)

Since then they have off loaded players
reducing the wage bill which is highly
commendable, but they haver reduced
the squad to 16 FIRST TEAM PLAYERS
of which a handful are good enough for
the premier league. To compund matters
latest strong rumours indicate that
Maynard will be at Leeds, Baldock will be with
Bristol C or Charlton and Carlton COle
has been strongly linked with Brighton
and only wages remain to be ironed out.

This becomes even more concerning when you
consider that its quite apparent West Ham
have very little cash to throw around, which leaves the only options as loan market, but
thats a no go because they can;'t compete with wage demands other premier clubs
are willing to pay (and before you wave the
"WE were gonna pay Andy Carroll £100k
a week stick" all I say is "were you
REALLY or was it a stunt to try and seell tickets.

For those West Ham fans out there I would love
to hear what you think, especially after
seeing the spineless display against
Ipswich where Mark Noble was non existent
and over run

Allen;
And ofcourse we've got Borini already.
Agger to stay Skertel to Stay.
Suarez has already signed a new Contract.
I've heard villa is a 'star signing' injury prone.
3-4 players rumoured to come. But we've been linked to a lot more.
What a squad we'll have.
B R would defo restore faith in the Fans.
I don't think people would agree with me.
About Dempsey, But he'll be a fantastic signing.
top 4 finish? I hope for.
Like I said i pray. What I'll give to restore liverpool
The way it was years ago.
Like I said I don't think you'll agree with me but each to there own.
And everyone has a 'dream' of who they would like to play for the fav team.

Im afraid your faith in Brendan Rodgers is misplaced . Im a Watford fan and my cousin goes to Reading and we both think hes toilet . He got lucky at Swansea . His style of play is totally inept , if you look at his 1st game with us and his last at Swansea its exactly the same tactic . He can only play one way and WILL get found out . As for your chances for the season , I think the glory days are over till you move and can get the 60,000 plus crowds now required to complete . I remember coming up to ANFIELD in the early 80s and thats where it struck me MY GOD WERE IN THE BIG TIME , but alas I dont think it would have the same effect today .

Neil Warnock on Yorkshire Radio -

"I think we have to move players on first to be able to bring players in. You can see we need another striker, we just need to fund it."

Lonergan, Clayton & Snoddy have all left for a fee this summer but our pot is suddenly empty and there is still no sign of the supposed takeover materialising.

Hopefully sale of Paynter (Doncaster), Nunez (charlton), Connolly (loan) and Rachubka (whoever will take him). Is this really enough for the so called icing on the cake?

I hate to say it but if there's even a takeover still on the cards, sounds like we're not going to see any more influx of cash for transfers from the supposed consortium of property developers.

Rochdale have signed 37 year old Dele Adebola a striker from Hull and scored after five minutes of a debut.

Rochdale also hope to sign super star Sean McConville recommended by Sir Alex Ferguson

Believable2 Unbelievable2

Burnley set to make a bid for Adebola after he terrorised their defence - especially Jason Shackell - last night. The veteran ran rings round the Clarets, who look a good bet for relegation - they have no midfield and played a defender (Edgar) and striker (Ings) in central midfield.

Laughable - Howe does not know what he is doing by not bothering with midfielders.

Agree0 Disagree0

If McConville is a super star why sign for Rochdale. From what I have seen this year and last he is a lazy get who does not process the quality for this level. R Daly

Adebola's a great signing McConville ain't
