Radio suffolk says ipswich town would like to sign ex man u youngster olliver norwood.millwall are olso very intrested. But he would prefer london to suffolk. As he belives millwall will do better than town next season.(16)(21)Burnley are also interested and seeing its his hometown it seems very likely he will be going there.Isn,t ex Man U he got a new 12mth contract still Man U and got a selling price of 500kNorwood also believes in father xmas, and that your rumour is true.I would believe this not to be true as it has been confirmed that kenny is after west ham fledglings C Driver and D Potts to add some mettle to their squad as trotter is definatley on his way with ITFC getting a big sell on clause ,releasing little funds for millwall to use.No millwall are not interested

Bristol City are close to capturing highly rated Liverpool youngster Suso on loan.(7)(24)Would be a very good signing for both clubs. He would provide great competition to Pearson and Woolford and maybe snatch a starting place. great young talent with very quick feet, can beat a player and also good in the air. For me he has it all!Haha. good in the air? hes 5,5 or 5,6 spanish playmaker not good in the air but got a brillant eye for pass. brillant technique also

 


09 Jun 2012 22:46:15
Swansea to sign - giovanni and Jonathan dos santos as laudrup will be th next manager! also he will sign will sign his son, a Denmark under 21 international- Andreas laudrup(4)(23)

So Huddersfield are linked with-
Sean Morrison (will happen)
Kyle Lafferty (seems legit)
Lee Peltier (will choose us over others)
stephen Quinn (possibly, not too sure)
Keith Andrews (BIG rumour)
Adam clayton (not too sure)
Iñigo Calderón (not too sure)
Grant McCann (not too sure)

Overall Town ideally need a CB, LM/RM, ST and a couple of CM box to box, playmakers...(10)(31) 


 
Don't really need a LM, we've got Danny Ward... Where we have struggled over the past two seasons is in CM, we need two really good CM's who will dictate play for usWe need this team next year:
Smithies,
Peltier Morrison Clarke Calderon
Hunt Andrews Clayton Ward
Rhodes. S. JacksonI cant believe we havent been linked with any Left Backs yet as this is the most important position that requires filling if you ask me. Ridehalgh good as a back up, Woods not good enough as first choice and not naturally left footed.Apparently pelts desperate to come back, defo morrinson, thought jackson would happen if lambert had stayed cant see it now, like to see clayton but actually think andrews is more likely. lafferty hopeful!
UTT!So practically a new team then? Very hopeful, but looks good on paper!Danny ward don't make me laugh hardly set
League 1 alight did he, so don't think he can
Cut it in championship, swop ward for
Laffety and that team looks good.You're all forgetting ward is only 21 and has europa league experience and prem, he's a good player, confidence was low last year, he's more suited to championship, not hoof ball.
The reason i didn't put down simeon Jackson is due to him recently signing a new contract at Norwich, it does seem like Lafferty is pretty much a done deal but cant be announced as he's on his honeymoon, and seems like we're favourites for Andrews: Hopefully but likely starting XI-
Smithies
Peltier, clarke, morrison, calderon
Hunt, quinn, andrews, ward
Rhodes, Lafferty
Bench-Bennett, woods, t.clarke, robinson, gobern, novak, lee (back to 7 subs this season...)Team i would like to see :
smithies
pelts,morrison,clarke,calderon
hunt, andrews,clayton, jennings
rhodes, austin

subs: lafferty, novak, bennett, leadbetter, t clarke, woods,ward

i did like not think haha but should look to bring jennings on loan just the experience gained at bayern training ground would be enough gor next year on loan!
UTT!Correct me if I am wrong but didn't ward cost nearly a £1 million. At that price he should be able to play in north east counties. More suited to championship never heard such rubbish. Yes I am a town fan. JohnYour not favourites for andrews charlton are, we finished 20 points ahead of you and are a better club with more money to spend. All of your eggs are in one basket with rhodes tbhHe is more suited to championship... League 1-hoof ball
championship-Passing football, besides with Rhodes hopefully staying and the tall Lafferty hopefully joining we'll defo need another winger with ward to whip the ball in...League 1 hoof ball maybe but town don't play that way so he should of been good last season and he wasn't, would rather see Roberts there when he is fully fit, Roberts 1st touch a different class. John

Eddie Howe and swansea will have to accept an agreement with burnley not to take burnleys star players once he switches clubs. Deal still far from done though as the swans are baulking at burnleys near £2million compo demands. (Howe still has 3 years on contract).(4)(33)Eddie Howe wouldn't come to Swansea, he's not good enough for Swansea. And we wouldn't pay that much for him anyway, rather get Laudrup for no compensation, and he's a better manager.Doesn't seem very legit, Liverpool payed near £4 million to Swansea for Rodgers. So £2 million of that money is very much affordable, but still I highly doubt Swansea will be interested in Howe, yes we play good football but Eddie Howe has not done anything worth being offered a job at a higher level.When you say deal is far from done. Have any talks taken place or have Swansea asked for permission to speak to him? Hardly any mention of Eddie in swansea we are all being kept in the dark as to whats going on.
As long as it's not Holloway. I know he has been brilliant for Blackpool. But I don't think he can balance a team between attack and defence. It's almost to entertaining. Don't know to much about Eddie Howe?Liverpool payed 7M for rodgers and his back room staff. Compensation wont be a problem when getting a new manager in.They payer 7m for Rodgers, but no backroom staff went with him3 staff went to Liverpool from Swansea with Brendan RodgersI believe long time jack colin pascoe walked?

 


09 Jun 2012 22:07:38
Doncaster set to sign Izale Mcleod after his release from Barnet also to sign Damien Reeves, Jake Speight, Grant McCann, Jon Parkin, Peter Clarke and Robert Atkinson (Fleetwood)(5)(18)I don't think Clarke will be leaving Huddersfield.It is true rovers will sigh all those playersIzale Mcleod has stated he wants to play for a team nearer his home - MK Dons were favourite as that is local to him, but more local teams now showing interest. So not sure where your source is with Doncaster, but its not going to happen....Why would clarke leave a club he loves and has just got promoted with? Stupid rumour!

 


09 Jun 2012 22:07:00
Bristol city Striker David Clarkeson to talk to Bristol rovers about possible transfer over coming weeks as he looks to get first team football and is interested in McGhee's ambitions with the club, A city fan who's close to the club told me this, aslong as he scores goals i don't mind :)(12)(8) 


 
Seeing as he isnt at Bristol City and a free transfer.Clarkson is a free agent and can talk to whom he likes. His contract at Bristol City has expired.Hasn't Clarkson been released by City?Watta fail.

 


09 Jun 2012 22:06:56
Derby rumoured to be interested in Ajay Leitch-Smith from Crewe(13)(6)This lad has great potential wouldn't mind seeing him at derby

 


09 Jun 2012 21:29:50
Stalin Kerkar and David Healy are set for talks next week with Derek McInnes, the Bristol City manager, about possible transfers from Rangers.(12)(14)Yet to see any manager benefit from bringing in too many players from SPL. Middlesborough dived when Strachan last attempted it. McInnes should have learnt the mistake but it appears not. I fear for City this coming season. Cant see anything other than lower bottom half and end of his tenure.

 


09 Jun 2012 21:26:14
Watford have enquired about Reading striker Simon Church and left back Joseph Mills.

Reading are prepared to let Church leave but not before a new striker comes in. Jo Mills is available also when a new left back arrives.(18)(3)So Probgreknyak in and church out... PLLLLEEEEAAASSSEEI do hope this is true. heard a lot of rumours about this though. Have you got any evidence?Reading bought maxi from liverpool on a freeWe have not got maxi thats total BSHope mills doesn't leave. he is better defensively than harte.Like churchy to go on loan not completely leave, as much as everyone says hes rubbish, all he needs is first team football in champ to gain bring his confidence up but i mean the leeds away game as an example, that goal was quality and i think with a bit more confidence he could be a great player.Enough of the Maxi rumours. Go on the official Liverpool website, he has said he does not want to leave Liverpool.Owww no... Please no....

 


09 Jun 2012 21:20:46
Reading have lost interest in Notts Forest right back Chris Gunter, after the club rejected a £2.5m offer.

Forest have asked for £3m. Neither Reading or Swansea will meet it, with the defender a free transfer in 11 months time.

Reading have also submitted a £3.5m offer to Huddersfield for striker Jordan Rhodes. Reading central defender Sean Morrison, valued at £1.5m will join Huddersfield as part of the deal, bring the total of the move to £5m plus add-ons.(17)(22)Rhodes says hes staying,end of.think morrison will still be comingIt was only £2m that got offeredRodriguez only had 11 months left on his contract but it didn't stop soton (over)paying £7m for him. No transfers would ever happen if no one bought players with 1 year left on their contracts.Nicky Hammond will not let Morrison go to Huddersfield unless Rhodes is going the other way.

 


09 Jun 2012 21:13:20
Port Vale are in talks with Liam Dickinson and Jon Parkin as the manager wants both players to spearhead an exciting attack next season.(4)(14)Jon Parkin coming back to donnyThe oatcake shop will be hoping this is true!

 


09 Jun 2012 21:08:52
Milos krasic seen on 2 occasions at readings training ground over past few weeks. This comes from someone who works at reading. Glfyi also seen a couple of times at training ground before going away on holiday!(17)(20)As much as I wish this was true, I jus can't see it happening!As a reading fan i no this is BS but would be great :PReading have matched Swansea's offer and terms, but have only spoken to Gylfi's agent so far. They are happy with the contract BUT he wants to give Liverpool first refusal. If nothing comes of that then he is almost certainly returning to Reading as Anton Zingarevich's marque signing.

You have to feel for Swansea though. Two weeks ago everything was rosey. Now they're managerless and just lost the chance of signing a very good player.Krasic has already rejected Reading's advances.

Sigurdsson is a possible as above.Yeh but that's Swansea's fault. They announced the signing before it was complete and that annoyed Hoffenheim. Don't moan when you don't hear who Reading are signing until they've signed. We do business the right way.Gylfi has been at the Reading training ground a lot after he left and was also at the Cardiff (a) play off game and the play off final so I don't think the fact that he has visited a few weeks ago means he was there to sign a contract.

 


09 Jun 2012 21:04:11
Stockport County needing to bring in a goalkeeper to challenge Ian Ormson for No 1 and keep him on his toes are looking at former keepers Tim Deacy, Conrad Logan, Lewis King who are among those being touted.(3)(2)

 


09 Jun 2012 21:04:02

nicky maynard
simon church(4)(34)U can only have 11 players on the pitch at one time u know!!!!!!!!!!Dont need that many keppers when you've got schemicalSome of these names have cropped up before but I doubt if City will add more than 3 or 4 players to the current squad.All of those players are better than your current squadCan't see Carlton cole or Danny Murphy happening. Reckon they will both be in the prem next year

 


09 Jun 2012 21:03:48
Dame N'Doye to sign for reading in their team rebuilding.Liverpool to sign luuk de jong.Man city to sign higuain.(17)(18)

 


09 Jun 2012 20:49:25
Manutd intrested in newcastle winger
Hatem Ben Arfa and Yohan Cabaye

Modric to have signed by next friday(28)(26)Modric to Man u?Have you got sky sports
Fergie said that there 25 million pound enquiry was rejected/Laughed at with
Modric being valued at 40 million and
Tottenham refuse to sell to an English
club.

Newcastle players have made a pact
that if the club wants to have a similar
season or to improve it they need to
keep together.Cabaye and Arfa are not
leaving yet having improved contactsI have heard a rumour like this on thr radio about modric and ben arfa but not cabayeMan Utd cannot afford any of these 3

Wycombe Wanderers:

Ins:

Scott Donnelly: free (after being released from contract) - Swansea City

Gary Doherty: free - Charlton

Izale Mcleod: free - Barnet

Paul Hayes: Season long loan - Charlton

Chris Hackett: free - Milwall

Outs:

Scott Rendell: Season long loan - Oxford United(2)(16)There is zero chance of Wycombe getting Hayes on loan for the season. He's going to a League 1 club on a permanent deal. The three clubs linked with him are Notts County, Swindon and Brentford.Well i'm pretty sure they'd both rather play for a championship club, then a league 1 oneDon't you mean Rory Donnelly.
And swans won't release him.
Only bought him last year as a future star.
A loan deal maybeHayes has been linked with swindon but they have distanced themselves from him this week, there appears to be no interest in him now.Hackett won't join you. He has had talks with two big league 1 side's. Sheffield United being one of them.No he means Scott Donnelly actually which is what ge said?There is a scott donnelly and rory donnelly for swansea, scott was on loan during 2011/2012 seasonNo chance, the club has no money. 1/2 players will be signed. I have been told they are from L1/l2 sides and one was released due to repetitive injuriesWycombe can't sign anyone at present; they are embargo'd due to not submitting any accounts for 2010/2011 and failling to submit a prospective playing budget for next seasonWe had no money before, whats changed?

 


09 Jun 2012 20:16:05
jon parkin will be unveiled as leyton orients third signing of the summer as he joins the os on a two year deal.(3)(15)We can only dream.More likely to get sam parkin....He wont join orient to far away from his home in yorkshireWho was the 2nd signing1st was Sawyer, 2nd was Griffiths, doubt we would get Parkin.Anthony Griffith was the second signing. Gary Sawyer was the first.If you're dreams don't extend past Parkin you're in trouble, he's fat & lazy & lacks any pace & has no skill & a poor scoring record.Peter kitchen will join the os on a two year deal after agreeing a fee with doncaster rovers.Parkin would join a long list of fat,lazy Orient strikers who doesn't score in fact he wouldn't even be the first called Parkin to fit that description.

As for signing Peter Kitchen what would he be worth these days? what a quality player he was {Ed003's Note - Parkin and kitchen in the same post :-) }Russell Slade is lining-up a shock return signing of Steve Dawson.
Dawson has failed to make an impact since joining Barnsley,and Slade is desperate to bring his former captain back to Brisbane Road. Dawson will replace Spring, who is joining Crewe.

Not saying this is definite but my friend is a physio and went to a course based on 'the southampton way' which was all about the training they do. She said that one of the examples they were showing was a medical for a multi million pound signing, which they had been doing in the last couple of days. So i would imagine this means it is Jay Rodriguez, but obviously nothing is definite and with interest from everton it may not go through.(8)(8)Yea he has gone for a medical but has not agreed terms yet, so a move to another club is still a possibility.Swansea have switched their attention to JR now that they have lost out on Sigurdsson.

He wont be going anywhere near Saints now.Misread that, I thought you said Psycho!Why would a player go for a medical if he hadn't agreed terms? But you are right that until paperwork is signed someone else may come in....we'll have to wait and see1. swansea havent lost out on getting sigurdson yet but there is a possibility that he will liverpool

2. where is your source that swansea are interested in jay rodriguez

3. swansea still dont have a manager so obliviously there not going to be making any bids for players until they get a new manager

4.it cracks me up how if swansea were interested in jay rodriguez that people think that suddenly he wont go anywhere near southampton so think before you say things like that because you obliviously dont know anything about football!I'm sure he would sign for a club without a manager-not. Can't see Swansea will be able to sign anyone until a manager is in place-and Saints will not wait that long.Still signing for Saints confirmed tomorrow.Swansea have lost their manager, about to get second season, shouldnt even be in the ENGLISH premier league, and wont get siggurdson. I doubt you'll deter him from joining Southampton. As for Everton, they don't have the money to rival a bid anyway, so that can be laughed off"He won't be going anywhere near saints now".
Look Swansea had one good season and hats off to them. But now Rodgers has gone you'll struggle to stay up next season. Saints are a far bigger club. JR may well not sign for saints but if thats the case he'll stay up north and join Everton or Newcastle. Trust me he won't be going anywhere near Swansea. Talk about ideas above your station!If this is true then the person taking this lecture can expect to lose their job pronto. Mr Cortese makes sure all transfer details are kept 'in house' and anyone leaking details will be out of the club within seconds of him hearing about it. The 'Southampton Way' is that all transfers in or out of the club are kept under wraps until the deal is done.

This suggested example given at a training course did not happen.Believe what you want. It was a lecture about how the physios at the club get the players ready for the games, and how it has all changed. They then moved on to talk about a POTENTIAL multi million signing but left it at that and gave no further details away. I doubt they thought telling a group of 30 physios who do not care about football, this tiny bit of info would do much.Did someone forget to tell him that Swansea were after him? Because he's just signed for SaintsWhy on earth would he have signed for Swansea over Southampton? It was nice while it lasted but sorry Swansea you were one season wonders.

Doncaster's injury prone midfielder Brian Stock to join Crawley for a nominal fee.(3)(11)

 


09 Jun 2012 19:54:26
Crystal Place have agreed a £400,000 fee from Jose Rodriguez of Castilla and is set to sign next week after a medical along with Marko Fuctas on a free from Portsmouth.
The club are also trying to hash out a deal for Wilfried Bony of Vitesse, the Ivory Coast forward is keen on a move to England and Crystal Palace could offer him a first team role as the club mount a challenge for promotion next season.(12)(10)Marko Futacs is under contract, so how would you get him on a free?What site does it say futacs will be joining palace ?Futacs will be released by pompey because they want players off the wage bill.
He will not be the last to go on a free transfer.Futacs is on contract though, so they can't let him go without paying off his contract and Pompey can't afford to do that! Really annoys me when people on here who know nothing about this stuff feel a need to comment...Actually he was one of the few players at pompey offered a contract at the end of the year!He's on like £1000 a week and is still under contract for the next year AND has been offered a new (longer) contract only a few weeks ago so why would we release him on a free?Because your in administration and have to slash the wages! Everyone will be up for saleRubbish rumour. Why would this Vitesse fella come to Palace when Bayern are after him? Where will we get the money from too? Stick to realistic gossip rather than the fantasy stuff!Did you not read that previous comment? we'd have to pay off his contract to release him, and we have no money to do so. Get your facts right next time

 


09 Jun 2012 19:51:14
Burnley are to insist on a similar deal along with a compensation package too the one that Swansea had with liverpool to stop Eddie Howe taking star players such as Charlie Austin, Danny Ings and Marvin Bartley with him should he accept impending job offer(8)(4)Eddie howe is not a
premier league standard
manager
if swansea appoint him
you ll be going down
he s not very goodHope you have your life savings on this as he is 16/1 for the job with M Laudrup 1/2 I know who I would be backing and its not your so called tip!Are u a rovers fan in disguise trying to wind us up.swansea wont go for eddie howe,he has done nothin yet at burnley.no prem experience.no chance it happening.Eddie Howe is so far unproven in the championship. If Swansea take such a gamble on him expect to join Burnley in the championship next year. I don't want to see Howe go as I would love to see him build on the foundations of this young squad (ie Trippier, Austin, Bartley Stanislas, Lafferty, Ings, Fletcher etc) but I am not holding my breath! It would not be devastating to the club providing the board are forward thinking enough to have a contingency should he go. UTCEddie plays good football and is starting to build a good team at Burnley. He's a good future manager but he's not ready for the PL yet!

 


09 Jun 2012 19:39:27
Port Vale interested in:
Lionel Ainsworth(Shrewsbury)
Karl Hawley(Notts County)
Ben Smith(Shrewsbury)
Jennison Myrie-Williams(Stevenage)
Liam Dickinson(Southend)
Dan Holman(Histon)

Also Stuart Tomlinson will turn down new deal, Joe Davis will sign new deal next week(13)(7)Have hawley if you want a player who can't scorePlease tell me how this is true when Vale are in admin?Liam dickinson doesn't play for southend.Some one on here can talk a bit of truth

same as i have told everyone on here

get your facts right 1st b4 you post anything thats untrue

"port vale" cannot sign anybody,apart from the players that are out of contract"
they can talk to other platers,but not sign them untill the football league have approved keith ryders offer/bid
so please stop these so called players that are signing or not signing,they can only talk to these players
full stop,end of storyDoubt vale could afford dickinson's wages if we couldn't!Vale are due to come out of Admin on the 22nd of June, we can still hold talks with players but not officially sign them, also Billy Paynter is returning.So he's facts may be right as southend released dickinsonNo chance of you getting billy Paynter! No chance you could afford his wagesNeither Smith or Ainsworth are Shrewsbury playersThey came from Shrewsbury. Just released. There are a lot of Smiths out there

 


09 Jun 2012 19:37:04
West Ham in bid to sign Matias Fernandez from Sporting CP

Liverpool and Stoke also interested(7)(10)Westham have made 4.5m bid.He's worth more than £4.5m. Also, why would he join West Ham if Liverpool are interested?So he does not turn into charlie adam and sit on the bench every week.

 


09 Jun 2012 19:36:59
Derby have rejected a second bid for Jason Shackell. Burnley we're the side to make a bid.

Source: thisisderbyshire and SSN.(6)(6)

 


09 Jun 2012 19:29:51
Charlton expect to wrap up the signings of Anthony Wordsworth on 1-2 weeks, Sam Baldock in 3-4 weeks but it depends as West Ham, I can confirm, they have enquired about Chris Solly and we want cash for Solly as well as Baldock but it depends on whether West Ham mind it, Charlton have been linked with McGuire and Quinn of Sheffield Utd and we expect to sign at least one of these, most likely Quinn as Utd overrate McGuire's price tag as a few million, also Karleigh Osborne may sign he is interested, but it depends if Charlton have someone better lined up, and sources tell me that Kyle Bartley of Arsenal may join on a season long loan, he proved he could compete at Rangers which is about the same as the Championship, also both teams are in London so it would help, Chris Powell also may renew his interest in Hulk Hogan ;) of QPR as he proved he did well in the Championship with Bristol and impressed with good goals and assists for Charlton in January(8)(21)Not only is Maguire too expensive for you, he's also too good too. Expect him to go to a PL club.Ha Charlton are deluded there is no way in a million years Harry maguire will go to Carlton one because what's the point and two they can't afford him. And i'l eat my hat if Quinn goes either that's how sure I amIm sure both will go to teams in higher leagues than utd - so that does mean charlton ! enjoy league one ;)Stephen quinns on about 15k a week somehow I don't think charlton will match or beat thatHa Charlton are deluded there is no way in a million years Harry maguire will go to Carlton one because what's the point and two they can't afford him. And i'l eat my hat if Quinn goes either that's how sure I am
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The point if McGuire went to us next season would be that he'd be playing in a higher division next year.It's not that charlton can't beat the wage budget it's that they don't want to go mad on wages until we establish ourselves in the championship then hopefully move higher but we could if we wanted toYour close to administration and YOUR IN LEAGUE 1!! If McGuire was wanted by a prem club something would of happened e.g a bid or enquiry or even just links but none of that has happened, he is no way a prem playerU's Manager John Ward stated the other day he has had no offers for Wordsworth so if charlton are going to wrap up the deal they will need to contact Cochester first.Considering we are paying 10-20k for a unnamed player, and neil warnock even said in an interview that that we are willing to pay a fortune for him, wages wise so sit down and enjoy league 1 next season, i'll have fun playing leeds, palace etc when you play orient, walsall etc!!!!!!!!Solly wont leave. he loves being at charlton, it would also be a kick in the teeth if he goes to west ham, east london rivals.Think wordsworth deal will happen as co u signed marcus bean and now have 6 centre midfielders'think' oh no IT HAS happened, it will be comfirmed on july 1st-8thTake a video when you eat your hat please!

 


09 Jun 2012 19:24:34
Charlton are going to offer contracts to Darren o'dea and Oliver Norwood following their releases from Celtic and Manchester united.(18)(9)Yes pleaseNorwoods coming home to Burnley FACT

 


09 Jun 2012 19:23:18
Christian Lell to sign for West Ham after turning down both Stoke and Fulham(9)(6)Much more stable option than fulham and stoke :/

Was close to signing for stoke 2 years ago but "went MIA" at crucial stage of negotiationsNot sure who is posting all this West Ham guff that players are turning down better clubs for them but of course it's rubbish

 


09 Jun 2012 19:17:59
Montenegrin Youth International Center back Danilo Sarkic is being followed by a host of English clubs for what is likely to be a loan move due to his lack of first team action at FC Sochaux, but the French club still want to keep him. Sarkic was last year linked with Bristol City, Everton and Spurs but nwo looks set for a loan move to Exeter City or Yeovil Town.(1)(5)

 


09 Jun 2012 19:14:59
Bristol City look to sign Rangers midfielder Alejandro Bedoya on either a permanent or loan move depending on Rangers' fiancial state.(7)(9)

 


09 Jun 2012 19:02:55
Garry Thompson has agreed a 2 year
contract with Bradford City, however
he is set for further talks with his
former club Morecambe before he signs
anything.(10)(3)No deal until he returns from a 10 day holiday in Dubai. Only then will he decided who to sign for with League 1 still his preferred option but his former club have location on their side for the Kendal based player.It wouldn't be out of character for Thompson to give back-word to Bradford. Again.If he has agreed to sign for us, why would he talk to Morecambe?Being a mate of our gary's lets just say his fuel bill wont be that much!Bradford would only be a last option if nobody else comes in. Who in their right mind would want to play for Phil Parkinson.

 


09 Jun 2012 18:51:55
Barnsley set to hijack sheffield Wednesday bid for Chris Maguire.(6)(25)Bloody hell that's wrong
1. The massive owls are 10x wealthy then Barnsley
2. Wednesday are massive so why would he want to go to Barnsley and play on a shed ( oak well )
3. Barnsley can't afford him at a high price.
Oh and don't be surprised if Wednesday do a swap deal o'Grady for butterfieldHe is going to sheff wedO'Grady for Butterfield? What planet are you on?Why do you have to be so insulting? A shed. There is
No secrets that you are a bigger club than us and yes you will have more money. Talk football pleaseWednesday may have big history, but haven't been 'massive' for 12 years...be quiet!We will c who is south yorshires top team soon......Looks a strong possibility for the Reds. £400k was his value when he moved from Aberdeen to Derby. HillCroft have a reputation for improving players and if Maquire wants to make the step-up in class, Oakwell would be perfect, not a Yo-Yo team like the Wendys!Butterfield in talks with Wednesday, Chris O'Grady and Mike Jones are in talks to go to Oakwell.
Barnsley have also tried to get Beevers included in deal. All of these players have been on Hills target list in last year.Wednesday may be the top team in yorshire but Barnsley are definately the top team in Yorkshire! {Ed003's Note - So it's a draw,end of ...Brill }Only thing massive about wednesday is their debtWednesday not in debt lol

Apparently Chris Maguire to watford. How would watford fans feel?(6)(10)Im a derby fan and even though im not bothered hes leaving because he hardly played.Hed played 1 start 1 sub and scored 1.He has ability but you will be getting a very lazy player not during matches where he is probally one of the hardest workest but football isnt just match days but weeks of training and he
rarely joins in thinking hes above that.Decent player, would go well with all the other strikers we're supposed to be getting such as Helguson, Futacs & CollinsHave they had a bid accepted then? Chairman was interviewed on radio Sheffield and said negotiations are ongoing between derby and Wednesday for him. Never said Owt about a bid been accepted from anyone. So I think you talk bullHe won't be joining Watford. He's off to Sheff Weds and won't need to move homePlease no.... we don't need Derby's dead wood, we did that with Forest when we got Garner and he, like Maguire are very average.You could have said the same about craig ramage but he was awesome for watfordWouldn't mind any of these players maguire seemed decent at portsmouth, futacs was brilliant at portsmouth and colins is young and decent goalscorerNot sure he is up to such a big step up as that - better he goes to sheff wed me thinks where he will be more at home ability wise - can you see him being able to fit in with Sean Murray or Jonathan Hogg - he is just not in their leagueHim and deeney would destroyWatford a big step up? You having a laugh pal? Did you go up to prem this season? No did you get in play offs? No how again is Watford a big step up, midtable team and that's it, not really got ambition or fan base to be a step up.He wasn't playing for you though. It's a step up to first team football, not a step up to a considerably stronger team.I agree (above) Derby are not the team to beat anymore.. They haven't been since the 80s/90s

£20m+ is available for Norwich and Chris Hughton to spend in the summer - McNally

It is expected that he will buy Jordan Rhodes, Nathan Redmond, Curtis Davies, Henri Lansbury, Nathaniel Clyne, Nick Powell and Robert Snodrass.

So expect a record breaking summer Norwich Fans(16)(53)Thats why Lambert left only had 50p and a bag of crisp for players so stop dreamingThat's not why Lambert left he left to go to a 'bigger' clubLook at the bbc page... McNally reveals more funds than ever - 20+mVilla a bigger club? They might of been a few years ago! But not anymore. How much money do Villa have to spend this summer? They are already being very tight with money. That's why the have still not paid any compensation to Norwich( its going to a tribunial ) and they ain't got the money to get Culverhouse(Lamberts number 2). Norwich have up to 25 million to spend on players! Confirmed by McNally . Have some of that Villa fansMcNally is taking you lot for a ride what he says is just what he thinks you want to hear take my word your get about 7or8 mill max.Norwich will go down this year. They will probably be able to remain in Championship though despite loss of Lambert.Villa are a bigger club than Norwich..Fact! You will not sign majority of those players.Lambert left because Norwich wouldn't support him in the transfer market.

Shockingly weak rubbish from the OP.1 decent season doesn't mean for a big club...especially compared to Villa1Lambert is a top manager who no doubt will do well at Villa (can't really get much worse!). He has a track record of showing very little loyalty when a better offer comes along so Villa fans if he does well, think you may get 12 months service from him until a really big job comes up. Good luck to him but he is now part of our history. Who knows how much City have to spend but Chris Hughton will be well backed by the Norwich board. Looking forward to a very interesting summer. On the ball city!Im a norwich fan but jordan rhodes is most likely going to fulham.Even if we only have 7 or 8 million, it will be enough to add a bit of quality to an already decent squad. Villa on the other hand need a total overhaul which will need far more money than is being promised to . If you don,t get Culverhouse you will struggle.Not many CEOS would lie to a club where the fans are desperately loyal to the club itself, not any one individual member. odds on most of the people commenting, saying we're going down, are either; Ipswich, Swans, QPR, or Villa. have fun finishing below us.It annoys me when people say norwich dont have money
last year we spent 15mil, this yea we have even more since we finished 12th
davis is very likely but i doubt we will get the restSome people speak such rubbish on here McNally has been straight to the point ever since he has been here sounds like people need to zip it and just wait and see what happens.Getting fed up of seeing the same old thing on here and people saying were going back down i for one believe we will be safe this year with money to spend chris hughton wouldnt of taken the job on if there were no funds available top ten finish is definatley possible with adding to the squad the good times are here to stayAnd one more thing im a Norwich Fan and villa are a bigger club than ours we all cant keep thinking were bigger than them, we have only had 1 season back in the top tier how long have they done it for?? i dont blame lambert for going but he should of gone to a bigger club than villa but i wish him well i still think tho that this season will be a great one with more money to spend Chris Hughton will buy really good players to add to the squad we need to be in prem for a good few more years before we can think were bigger than anyone else NCFC till i dieSo they couldn't afford to give Holt a pay rise but will spend 20 million. Not sure who is the most deluded, Soton or Norwich fans. Norwich will be bottom 3 for sure.I like Norwich but lets be honest all the big names in English Football are the teams that have made big impacts teams like the top 10 at the moment and teams like Southampton and Aston Villa have always had a big part in the premier league. I have a lot of respect for you as a club but its simple you don't and want have 25 million plus to spend ever! you wont attract big names and you wont ever be in the top six with the way things are run in NCFC, your team is run like a business and its stupid because its holding your team back! Lambert left because him and your owner couldn't agree. Lambert want to aim higher than 13th but your club turned around and said we want to survive that all that matters, even if we are 17th! So good luck to you next season i hope you stay up, but you wont have a budget of 20 million or any higher than that because he didnt say the amount and it will probs be in the region of 15 million or 10 million. He only said biggest backing ever as a manger to keep you interested and its workedThe norwich board didnt trust lambert with the 12m transfer kitty thats the true figure
Lambert is a poor manager culverhouse the brainsNorwich COULD afford to give Holt a pay rise, but rejected an extra year extension on his contract due to them deeming him to be too old. If you read into the subject rather than posting utter rubbish you'd understand Norwich do have money to spend."So they couldn't afford to give Holt a pay rise but will spend 20 million. Not sure who is the most deluded, Soton or Norwich fans. Norwich will be bottom 3 for sure."
Norwich fans deluded? you apparently can't even read the news. Holt and his manager have stated it's because norwich wont EXTEND his contract by 1 year, because he is too old.Lambert will be without Culverhouse, Norwich City upwards and onwards :-)"My clubs got more to spend than your club", "My clubs bigger than your club" Come on guys thats playground stuff. Spending millions does not equal success, just a huge debt and years in the lower divisions paying it back for many good old fashioned tradional town/city teams. Giving in to one players demand to break a clubs wage cap is crazy, all the rest of the squad will then want theirs increased and you end up doubling the wage bill for the same players. Heres a simple solution to cutting every clubs wage bill, go back to 3 subs on the bench, that way thats 4 of the 7 players on the bench that every club can let go, why pay players just to sit on their backsides for 90 minutes. We all pay for these wages through our SKY Sports package and stupid price of a match ticket. No loyalty in football any more, its all about ££££££££££££
This years fixture list is starting to look like this...
Manchester United Mercenary 11 vs Aston Villa Mercenary 11
Everton Mercenary 11 vs Southampton Mercenary 11
Fulham Mercenary 11 vs QPR Mercenary 11
Norwich City Mercenary 11 vs WBA Mercenary 11

Raheem Sterling to Norwich on-loan for the season with Ryan Bertrand coming in on loan as well. Permanent signings will be: Redmond, Davies, Snodgrass, Rhodes, Clyne, Lansbury.(15)(30)Your having a laugh none of these will joinLook mate, Leeds fan here.. I really do believe Snoddy will go, just not this summer for a fee less than £6-7m. Norwich should wait until winter you will get him for half that, I reckon he will follow Lambert too.Bertrand will not leave on loan and of he does it'll be to Reading.Why would Rodgers let Raheem Sterling who is one our best youngsters go out on loan when he has the opportunity to work and improve him.Snodgrass is slow - would not want him to join us. If we spend most of our money on Davis and Redmond I would be happy.

Outs:
Jacob Butterfield to newcastle on a free 600k compensation for Barnsley
Chris Dagnall free to Wycombe(8)(42)With that amount of players coming in
you wouldnt just have 2 going out.
As you wouldnt pay Heskeys and Vassells
wages just to put them on the benchWhat a load of rubbish.

I aint a Barnsley fan, but I know for a fact that they couldnt afford half of these.

Also you would be signing around 7-8 strikers if you did

Go back to playing footy managerI am aBarnsley fan but got to agree what a load of RubbishWe won't sign all these players I know but we could easily buy a fewSo your Playing a 1 1 8 formation next season then? Could be interestingHesky ... rather notForrester and saunders
.......hahI am a loyal Barnsley fan. This us rubbish. We still have very limited funds. I do trust hill to make the right signings.Daniel Bogdanovic free from Blackpool
Matt Hill free from Blackpool

Thank god for that just let us me know when you want them and i will give them a lift from BlackpoolWot crap iam a brentford fan sam saunders sighned 2trrs contract harryforrester we keppingAddison is playing for Blournemouth they won't sell himWhy will they sell Sam Saunders he has just signed a new contract and is one of our best players. And Harry Forrester has got one year left on his contract why get rid of him now?Addison has time left on his contract so won't be free.I heard derby are tryin to sell addison so wouldnt cost a lotYou won't get beavon. If he leaves he would go to a better team than barnsley

Who next for the mighty reds? Well i know this to be 100% right that williamson from sheff utd and madine from sheff wed are crossing south yorkshire to sign up for barnsley fc. I also know the reds are close to signing an ex barnsley player playing in the premiership. You heard it here first.(4)(23)Rubbish.Why would Madine go to Barnsley NOT EVEN
HALF SIZE OF MASSIVE OWLSWilliamson and madine arent good enough to wear a reds shirt !I can see Williamson coming for the higher league but we won't have a chance of attracting Madine. I think he'll go to a big champ club if Wendies sell himJust like the Cardiff chairman, he prefers wearing red!!!!!!!Madine going nowhere only transfers happening between us is butterfield coming to the MASSIVE and o'grady to youOn which planet are s.w a big club? Williamson will sign for barnsley, flicker in portugal holding talk with a couple of players. Etuhu signed. Madine is a possibility if the right fee is offered, and it wouldnt be a big fee for a striker only proven at league one level. Butterfield to sign a one year contract when he gets back. No contact been made from any club about himAnd you think Barnsley are bigger what crowds do you get again? You haven't git money to spend, your struggling to put cash up for o'grady and that's only 350,000 and madine is worth a lot more than that.Never said barnsley are bigger, what has attendence got to do with it. I do think its wrong to think that a club just comin from league 1 to say they're massive. O Grady is a rumour, madine is a rumour, the owl fan that thinks a butterfield for o grady swap is goin to happen is just an idiot. What i meant with madine before is, stranger things have happened in footballI font say were massive I say we are a big club though simple. You can't afford madine. How much you think he is worth? We got him for 800,000 or there abouts soe wouldn't go for less would he! If Dave Jones wants butterfield and we offer a decent contract to him why wouldn't he come? Mattock chose us over other established championship teams so that shows something doesn't it.We are certainly not bigger, one look at the average crowds puts that to bed, but we aren't delusional either, unlike are near neighbours!!!Why are we delusional? Optimistic yeah why shouldbt we be. Debt free for first time in over a decade and on the up. Feel good factor is back and we believe again! What's up wi that?Not very likely. both players do have a little ambition

Burnley are close to signing a Derby Co player but its not Jason Shackell

Its striker Steven Davies who will sign for 1.3M next week(13)(8)Its Steve davies and James bailey
for 2.2 million is been agreed between the clubs already.Davies replacement for
Jay rod and Bailey replacement for MarneyWhere is everyone getting burnley to sign davies and bailey from? im not saying people are lying, just want the proof...Bailey will join charlton and davies to join burnleyEither way these are too very good players. will help u fight relagation next season burnleyWith Derby being favs for relegation looks like every player wants out ...Davies Burnley, Shackell Burnley.. Bailey going poss to Burnley... who next? looks like cloughs lost the dressing room...Ha ha ha, what and the want to come to you guys...
Are you having a laugh you can't fill your ground. Shackell is going no where Davies is being sold and Bailey has been told he has limited apperances in a Derby shirt so is being sold as well. See you next season Burnley. ha ha ha can't wait to play you. 27,000 every week ;-) COYR

Stoke have bid £5 million for Maiga.
However it will take around £7/8million.
to prise him from his current club.
This deal will run on until after the euros
and right up until the start of the season.

Pulis has drawn up a shortlist of 20 players
who stoke are looking at over the
window. Stoke are looking on bringing in
as many as 6 players if they can shift
some deadwood.(11)(7)6?! i REALLY hope this is trueI can see us signin maiga and gettin a good deal as he has alot of issues at sochaux n they want rid. can also see us spendin in excess of 20million agen. pulis wil twist coates's arm.Stoke were interested before and he is Pulis type striker who can play wide if need be.Doesn't matter which striker Stoke sign unless we buy a quality midfielder (and if Pulis plays him) he won't score the amount of goals we desperately need.

Derby have had a bid of £400,000 accepted for Wolves striker Sam Vokes. The Rams will start negotiations with the player next week. Derby are also currently in talks with both Michael Jacobs and Paul Dixon. My sources have lead me to believe that Jacobs will probably sign at the end of next week. With Dixon closer to signing for Bristol City.

Nigel Clough will be looking to spend £2m on a proven goal scorer. The Rmas boss will use the money he gets from the departures of Davies, Maguire and Bailey. Simon Cox is Clough's preferred man but if that deals a no go he has other targets that fit the bill.

On the departures side of things Davies is on the radar of Blackpool, the Seasiders look set to bid £1m during the up coming weeks. Sheffield Wednesday are also considering making a £1m bid for Maguire and Bailey.(12)(10)Davies and Bailey have had a 2.5 million bid from burnley accepted.

Maguire might stay.But Derby want
850,000 for him despite being seeing as not needed he is a young international
with alot of ability but Nigel thinks maguire
dosent want to stayOwls will not pay more than £350-400k for Maguire. Derby turned down £300k and £350k from Owls who might go up to £400k or more likely move onto next target. Doubt Owls want BaileyWe wont take less than 450k for him cus he cost thtCox and Vokes sound like they could be a good strike partnershipGood luck trying to get Oyston to spend £1million!

Jordan Rhodes will be a Norwich player by the end of the summer. He is set to join the canaries and link up with former team mate and good friend Anthony Pilkington afetr he has heard it is a fantastic club to develop and become a premier league player.(24)(24)Probably true hope he doesn't leave Hudds but would rather see him go to Norwich with Pilks than anywhere elseThis deal would make sense.the club could help him develope and he would get good 1st team experience...If he was to move, which he has said he's staying at Huddersfield, he would not join a side like Norwich. He would be going to a bigger club in the prem.
We've heard all the stupid rumours about JR and yours is another one. Also, where are Norwich going to get £8 million to get him?Lambert was a big fan dont know about hughton, plus can't guarantee pilks will be there for long let alone norwich who cant guarantee PL for next 3 years what if they go down! think rhodes will stay for 1 more year or til xmas if huddersfield not near play-offs then move on to bigger team... no disrespect! UTTWe have 20m+ to spendHe is not that tall not much pace, goals scored in a poor standard. 8million more like 2 half topsI think Jordan Rhodes can do betterWhy would Rhodes not come to us? We are not a big club but we are Premier League club so I,m sure he woul be attracted by the
Respect of joining us. We have great support nd fantastic facilities and, other than Chelsea, the only English team to beat BM in their own stadium. Those 12 year olds who are writing that we are a small club should reind a few years - we were a top 6 side for many years. Thownsend, watson, brucNo one is paying the £8M so called asking price for what is a 1st Div player with Potential !, but its still a gamble, don 't believe all the nonsense about £8M being quoted, he will be sold for around £3 + add on'sNorwich to get relegated nailed on pilks leaving for bigger club in prem and rhodes not going anywhere certainly not going to relegation side jog onLol thats old mate no one cares if you were a big club back in the early 90's truth is you staye in the premier league for 3 years was it went down and i don't think you came back up until 2005 which you went straight back down the same year then came up to the premier league again in 2011 No your not a big club the top 20 big clubs in the UK are

18 Birmingham
19 Portsmouth
20 Blackburn
These clubs are bigger than you and have more history than you, your not even ranked in the top 20 your ranked in the top 30 so stop saying your a big club your notOr you have this list which is based on fans
1. Manchester United
2. Liverpool
3. Arsenal
4. Leeds United

6. Newcastle United
7. Manchester City

13. Sunderland
14. Notts Forest
15. Derby County
16. Southampton
17. Birmingham
18. Ipswich Town
19. WBA
20. Norwich CityWell that's complete bull norwich are the 12th most supported team in the country so get your facts right. Also how can you class Leeds and forest as big teams? If Norwich played half the teams on that list they would wipe the floor with them. From a Chelsea fan.What has this got to do with transfer rumours. The big club debate is a waste of time as it depends who you support.
A player has to take into account length of contract, wages as well as if he will be able to get into the team before moving.Why would a history be important, football is about the here and now. If that's the case relatively new clubs like Wigan would have no decent players and they do.

AFC Wimbledon have shown an interest in former Charlton defender Gary Doherty.

The 32-year-old centre-back is a free agent after being shown the door by the League One champions at the end of the season.

Source: Hounslow Chronicle(11)(4)Would be solid in defence, no doubt recommended by Jason euellJelly is more solid than dohertyIs he that badJelly is more solid than doherty
--------------------------------------------------------------
Harsh but true and funny.Yes he is that bad. The only thing I can say positive about him is he is pretty decent in the air. No pace and just makes error after error in key areas which usually lead to a goal. For your sake I hope you don't sign himHe was 32 a long time agoOh dear! Don't sign him Terry Brown!Arh! but the last two teams he played for won promotion! Even if he never played a lot he brings luck to the team that sign him.Wasted wagesArh! but the last two teams he played for won promotion! Even if he never played a lot he brings luck to the team that sign him.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When you say he played for us what you mean is that this season he was at home doing Irish dancing all by himself. I was closer to Charlton's 1st team than Doc was and I sit in row U!!

Howard ?????"along with another BIG NAME"

Andy Taylor is not a BIG NAMEHave to laugh at BIG NAMES.

We don't have the budget to get players like Howard as he was on at least 10K at leicester.

Dickov won't say anything until a deal is done. Don't understand how people think they know whats happening at the club. Its a joke and utter rubbish.

Dame N'Doye 6M
Pogrebnyak Free
Mariappa 4M
Chalme-2M
Bridcutt 2M
Matt Philipps 4M
Outs
Manset 800K Shenghai
Church 2M Cardiff
Kanu 2M Watford or Middelsbourgh
D'ath loan Charlton(9)(21)How would Watford ever afford £2m for Kanu. Not that he's worth it anyway.Your sale prices have one thing in common - they are circa 5x reality - do you seriously think that Robson Kanu is worth £2m - i mean seriously - if anyone offers you £500k - wrap him up in cotton wool and drive hime slowly and carefully to the other club - same goes for that goal machine ChurchOkay fair enough this guys sales are a bit inflated but rash comments on the players. I rate Kanu, hes definitely worth holding on to until he develops a bit moreRobson-Kanu is probably worth 1m and I cant see us landing Pogrebynak. The others are possible though.How would watford get 2m from 4m from mariappa and chalme is a free if he's that right backHave you ever saw him play.he is worth the money.As above, watch him play then judge, he is still on the up and improving, I for one would like to see him at the club getting the odd game this season.I have watched him play and he's nothing special. Sure, some stupid teams will pay rip off prices for overrated players but Watford cannot afford that. We wouldn't spend £2m on a proven player as we can't afford it, yet alone spend it on someone who could very well be a flop for £500k yet alone £2m.

If we ever got £4m for Mariappa, it would go straight to paying off our debts or improvements.I'm a Cardiff City fan and despite what you think of Church we wouldn't pay 2mil for himN'doye to reading you have to be kidding me newcastle are sniffing around and have expressed interest for him to be a straight replacemnt for ba if he leaves. Copehagen are a much better team than reading so he's going nowhereThe last time watford payed over a million was for Nathan Elington, in 2007, and he was rubbish. We bought jobi mcanuff for 1. something mill that summer, so you think that we are magically going to pay £2mil for a rubbish strikerKeep kanu he is a quality player

Steve Clarke has told jeremy Pearce that he wants to buy 3 big name players. those are Saha, Gardner and de jong(8)(13)Saha big name,you have got to be joking a bench warmer and thats when he is fitSteve clarke can ask jeremy peace for a gold pig but he will get the same answer as all the previous managers/coaches which is wages signing on fee,s, blah blah ;you will have to work within budget and sell to buy,you might have been shopping at harrods when you were at chelsea and liverpool ,but you have to find your way around aldi now. Good luck steve..

Leighton Baines: £ + Darren Fletcher
(season loan)
Kevin Strootman: £ + Park
Shinji Kagawa: £
James Rodriguez: £ + Anderson
R.Lewandoski: £ + Berbatov(10)(24)You honestly think Anderson who cost Manchester United £30m will go to Burnley?! What a fall from grace that would be, total bcks... {Ed001's Note - perhaps you need to learn to read before jumping down someone's throat! James Rodriguez is not a Burnley player.}James Rodriguez of FC Porto

yeovil close to signing joe mckee on a season long loan from burnley.(5)(9)I believe Burnley have not offered him a new deal so he is on a free transferWhy would we want to loan him, he is a free agent! released fro Burnley in April....Joe Mckee was released by Burnley at the end of last seasonJoe's been released from burnley so it will not be on loan

 


09 Jun 2012 13:41:46
After losing out on Joe Mattock and Paul Dixon, Derby turn their attentions to Liverpool's Jack Robinson to fill the left-back position.(5)(7)We havent lost out on Dixon.We need to buy a left back not on loan and Robinson wouldnt leave liverpoolIf derby r going to get him permanently they will have to pay a big fee because he will become the future England fullback in a few years time and Liverpool would not want to sell him. But getting him on loan might be a possibility and has been talked about before.Loans aren't the way the Derby management want the club to go. The policy is to buy low and sell high, and so it is unlikely that a loan will be used in anything other than a last resort

Torquay playmaker Eunan O'Kane is holding talks today with Crawley manager Sean O'Driscoll and owners over a move taking him to the Broadfield. If talks go well, deal will be announced later on today.(17)(9)The talks may well be happening, but according to his twitter account he is in Florida on holiday, so must be a phone interview then.This isn't true as he is currently on holiday but the deal will be finalized wen he gets backHe will go to Swindon with Billy Bodin going the other way. Why would he go to a tinpot club with no fans.

ytfc on the brink of signing exciting young coventry midfielder Gaël Bigirimana for 50k plus 50 percent of next sale.(3)(20)When Newcastle are linked to bidding between 500k and 1mil for him? Load of crap.Ytfc newcastle or cov not really a hard decision + he just signed a new 4 year dealNewcastle have bid 750k, so this is a load of crapThat one he's worth at least a million plus he's going newcastleNever he is worth alot more and wouldnt go to yeovil!!!Yeovil Town sorry you are a dreamer a player with a 4 year contract a player that Premier League Clubs are looking at: why on earth would he move to your tiny club? 50k try at least £1,000,000.Wait......... i swear Coventry are in the same league as Yeovil?? and you are calling us tin potYes But Coventry is a huge Club in English history While I only heard of Yeovil TodayBigirimana would never join yeovilE maybe Eastwood though cause hes not that goodNot tin pot just tiny with no history a tiny ground. We may be a mess financially but eventually it will be sorted one way or another. A player won't choice you over Coventry that's like saying Wigan are as big as Man Utd because there in the same league.

Brian Stock has rubbished rumours he is joining Bournemouth. He stated 'I want to get Doncaster back to the Championship'(9)(12)The person stating he was coming back to bournemouth was a person we wont sign stock or hayter i think were intrested in bringing back anton robinson tho and the thought of donny going straight back up is more laughable then stocky coming back to cherriesHe comfirmed he doesn't want to be in a relaxation battle at Doncaster so he coming home to afc Bournemouth for a prominent pushHe wants to stay at donny and i haven't seen anything that states otherwiseHe has been away too long but whats the latest on Hayter and Robinson I hear they are itching to come back

in a interview di canio said that swindon are intrested in andy williams ( who declined an offer from yeovil) and said that he hopes one day that andy williams will be a swindon player. Basically saying williams will sign on the 1st of july(12)(7)Williams?? I thought you lot were going for promotion?He scored 17 goals last season how is he not good ?!?!On behalf of yeovil fans he is very greedy and if he wasnt so greedy we could have had a lot more goals as a team and probably would have done better in the leagueWilliams scored goals in a weak
Team so will be a good signingI watched Andy Williams week in week out for the last 2 years and firstly I'd like to say that if it wasn't for his goals we would have got relegated. They literally kept us up! He had a fantastic season for us. Although, that said, he does need around 6-10 clear chances for everyone 1 he puts away. I'm not sorry to see him leave because it's his living and he wants to better himself. You can't argue with that. I don't think he will ever perform the same again though. He was a 1 season wonder in my opinion.

front runners huddersfield now facing competition from hull and derby for the signature of keith andrews.

source: football league page(17)(10)Cant see him opting for Hull; he had a nightmare 1st time round.Doubt hull interested or andrews we let him go on a free years backThink he'll be a town player come august.......... unless he stars at the eurosI would love him at derby but i doubt we'll spend the money for his wages

Celtic face fresh competition from Huddersfield for the signature of Ireland star Keith Andrews.(11)(12)As well as charlton athleticI don't know why Celtic want to waste their time with Andrews - no better than what we already have at the club!

Mark Hughes is looking at the possibility of signing Manuel Fernandes as he looks to bulk up his midfield ahead of the following season. Fernandes is currently a free agent after Besiktas failed to pay his wages and his contract was mutually terminated.
Sunderland's Martin O'Neil is also thought to be interested in the midfielder but is also keen on Aston Villa Forward Gabriel Agbonlahor who played under O'Neil when he was in the Villa hot seat. Agbonlahor is a life long Villa fan so if a formal approach is made it will be interesting to see whether he will be tempted to join up with his former manager or remain at his childhood club.(10)(7)I'd say stay at Villa.
Soon MON will leave & Sunderland will be left with players wanting to leave.

Sheffield United are set to sign out of contract Shrewsbury Town star James Collins.(7)(13)Compensation fee still required probably command about a 300k fee. (Mr T)Any bury fans no how good do u think mike grella isHe's going to Watford. There's even a pre-season friendly arranged between both clubs as part of the deal.Freindly has nothing to do with itThe freindly has nothing to do with any Collins move. Its a youth match organised thro links between Watfords youth Coach David Hughes as he was our youth coach last year.

MK Dons are in talks with Shrewsbury Town left back Matt Richards.(8)(9)Not a chance of Richards joining franchise fc. He swept the boards at our player of season awards, loves the area & has another year to run on his contract. Besides, he's been playing in midfield for the last few years.He's not a left backLeft back? Richards? Hmmm, I know this is a rumour website but even this rumour is quite shockingly bad!Midfielder or left back, it doesn't matter as it's not a position we're looking to fill.He was a Left Back originally but is just as strong in midfield now. He has played in midfield since joining us except against Oxford where he played LB and scored a last minute 35/40 yarder!

Judging by his twitter I would say he is unlikely to make a move at the moment, but i could be wrong. We could do with keeping him to be honest, he is by far our strongest and most experienced playerHes still under contract with shrewsbury and pretty sure he wouldn't go to tinpot clubWe are not looking for LB we have Lewington and Chicksen

Everton about to bid for Jay Rod according to Daily Mirror. Although they will be offering less it is likely Jay would prefer to stay in the North West. Up to BFC now...do they accept less to keep Jay happy or reject and force hm down south? Interesting one...and to all you saints fans....we told you not to count your chickens just yet!(12)(26)I think you will find it states Everton have to sell before they bid anything! If he wants to hang around and wait for that to happen then thats upto him isnt it! Not exactly the end of the world for Saints as they can move onto their next target. Do you really think Burnley would want to accept less for him anyway?Don't think there is any substance to this story. Everton have to sell before they can buy. And Piennar is their priority signing.Firstly,Why would Burnley accept a lower price
For their star player! They wouldn't!
Secondly if JRod is not happy moving to Southampton Nigel Adkins wouldn't sign him!
No point having players that aren't happy!
Thirdly if He doesn't come saints, then it will be his loss! But He will !!
The jealous people on this site who keep knocking saints fans. Why don't you just worry about your own club. Unless your that worried about little ole Southampton Fc.I think you will find Burnley have already accepted the fee from Saints, so hardly likely they will say, "oh, yes, we will accept less from Everton".

You can't afford him, so give it up.We havent counted our chickens, if he doesn't sin then we will move on to some else end offWhy are people so worried about us saints fans talking about who or what players we are intrested in ?if jay rod says no to us i wont be losing any sleep as most saints fans are 50-50 about him anyway if he signs im sure he will be a big successNo chanceEverton need to sell before they buy saints deal all but done Everton more likely to get relegated next season so he's 90 % certain to choose southampton.Done deal for saints not worth 7 million thoughEven if Southampton & Burnley agree the fee does not mean they can force him to sisn, so if he plays hardball because he wants to stay in the north, then its just possible they will have to sell for less.'Everton more likely to get relegated next season', dream on...A well established Premier League side consistently finishing in the top of the league. I think someone's deluded!Its irrelevant now anyway as he has agreed to sign with SaintsHaha whoever that is saying everton more likely to be relegated clearly hasnt got a clue

could bring fresh talent to our in need
side who could use some players. So
lets do it!(16)(5)Everton after him set for late bidIt's not £7M strait off. Nearer £5M rising to £7M for goals/appearancesHis choice who he wants to play for but saints are on the up and i hear there could be 3-4 more signings so mid table next season will be a great finishEverton can only bid when they sell someone! They have declared their interest in hope that it makes Jay think a bit. They are not in a position to bid anything yet.

Apparently fee has been agreed with London team for 4.5m just need to finalise contract terms ....(5)(20)West hamWould anybody in the world believe an Estate Agent.....in Latin, Estat Agentis means....."Lies for a living".

Would ANYBODY move to East London as well.......I believe potential council house owners are being sent to Syria as it's safer and less chance of being shot!The Estate Agent rumours are always the best :-)

Brian McDermott will be presented with his Reading FC transfer budget next week, it is thought to be in the region of 15 million. I would imagine this money to be spent on:

Pavel Pogrebnyak - Free Agent (Anton being Russian makes me feel more confident regarding this rumour - also Nick Hammond LOVES a bargain)
Adrian Mariappa - Watford (Thought to be completed when he returns from International Duty)
Liam Bridcutt - Brighton (We will beat Aston Villa to his signature for 2 million)
Matthieu Chalme - Bordeux (We need a RB so this rumour looks strong)

Brian McDermott will not buy any players until Monday (at the earliest), as that's when Anton will let him know how much he can spend. This is a big window for Reading, but Nick Hammond has already said he will not spend like QPR and Manchester City, but like Norwich and Swansea who both spent around 10-13 million in their first season in the top flight.(14)(20)You're get none of them just a small clubChalme would be a great signing, really a class player, however is he used to playing for clubs battling for Europe spots!? I hope he comes!Is it just me who thinks its impressive that you know the budget and buys of Reading before the owner has told the manager what he can spend? ;-)How big is readings fan base says it all to meYou will need to spend more to get Bridcutt! Hope you learn from QPR who tried to save money and ended up spending a fortune to avoid the drop (just!). Reading should do well this season and finish about halfway.Agreed. Complete BSBridport will not go to reading factCan i ask why you are postin false statments about adrian mariappa deal being done. The watford observer have just printed in the paper that watford rejected 2million + add ons and do not no if reading will put in a second improved bid!Why ever would pavel sign for you when he can get first team football at fulham a much bigger, LONDON, which can prove important club who are not going to get relegated^^^^ I dont think you have to be a big club to get a watford player, a brighton player, an ex fulham or an average french teams player ;)People will be shocked about reading's fan base ... They will easily sell out there 38000 allocation when completedOur small club is in the prem, brill isnt itY cant we get those players? we r probably most under-rated team in england because we arent "a big team from a city". zingarevichs takeover has already attracted players so y cant we get the likes of Pogrebnyak?Don't think QPR tried to do it on the cheap the club was involved in a takeover and the result was a real lack of investment by the former owners. If i remember rightly they were linked with a load of players and were rumoured to have agreed terms with Danny Graham only for all moves to be vetoed. I rekon reading will struggle if they don't get things done quickly because their 1st choice target maybe a bigger clubs 2nd choice. I think this is where norwich and swansea done very well in comparision to QPRI really love the 'your just a small club with no fans comment' .. When was football won by the fans? Two promotions and four play off appearances in recent years, ever increasingly successfully academy and large investment off the pitch. So this big club we must become before we actually get acknowledged can't be far away.. But then I guess we'll have brought the success right?Unless you are Man City, Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea followed by Liverpool and Newcastle every club is a small club! Reading is no different to any other club, all are trying their best to improve, some are improving faster than others. Reading will continue to over perform and will make some decent signings but they'll never be a big club although they will hold their own and compete.I find it amusing how people are ripping Reading for being a small club. At least we are well run and are not in debt.The Mariappa deal was done weeks ago. The hold up is due to him being away on international duty. Watford are releasing stories saying they have rejected the bids to appease their fans. This has been agreed with Reading."zingarevichs takeover has already attracted players so y cant we get the likes of Pogrebnyak?"...... Who have you attracted then? You have only signed Gareth McCleary. Reading are going to find it hard to sign big names.I don't want Bridcutt. He was rubbish from what I saw of him. Not good enough for our so called 'small club'. I'd rather sign Keith Andrews who is an attacking midfielderI love the fact that reading is disregarded by many>we have proven our team and fghting spirit.Look at the stats,the best in any division anywhere. There just might be a surorise as to who sighns for us if not wee will do what we have to.play as a proper TEAM no prima donnas/Major problem with this is your figures. at end of last summers transfer window Swansea had spent 9m approx, Norwich 6.8m approx and QPR 10.1m approx so when you say swansea and norwich spent 10-13m thats incorrect. then you also go on to hint at QPR spending vast amounts unwisely when they only spent 1.1m more than swansea. And lets not forget QPR stayed up at the end of it all so whatever they spend was worth it.Good luck to Reading - good club with true supporters. Would love to see one of the so called 'big club' go down. From a Norwich fanI am a Brighton fan and how can you call reading a small club there have reached the premier league and not for the first time I would love brighton to reach the premier league and see how many people call us a small club and then we could just turn around and say what league are we in we ain't that small are we good luck to reading this season I think you will finish mid table and we will join you there next seasonI'm interested - 'The Mariappa deal was done weeks ago. The hold up is due to him being away on international duty. Watford are releasing stories saying they have rejected the bids to appease their fans.' How do you know this?The reason weve only got mccleary is because the transfer window isn't even open yet and brian hasnt been given his transfer funds. Mccleary was a free transfer"Is it just me who thinks its impressive that you know the budget and buys of Reading before the owner has told the manager what he can spend? ;-)"

Not really, any ITK Reading fan knows it will be c. £15mSeriously! Who cares if Reading are a small club! I'm a Norwich fan, and I think it's brilliant that we are a small club, it makes it feel so much better. In comparison, to a team like Manchester United who win title after title, and it isn't really an achievement, while for teams like Norwich, Swansea, Wigan and Reading it will be.Zingarevichs takeover has caused following:
Jason Roberts to drop a division
Brian McDermott to stay at Reading
Jimmy Kebe to sign a new contract against all the odds...We already know Mapps is going...
Anyone who wins our player of the season award always leaves straight after...
Shame Loach didn't win it...That Norwich fan knows what he's on about.

Carragher wouldn't leave thoughJamie Carragher is Liverpool through and through mate. He will finish his career with the redsCarragher wont go but the likes of agger will go to real and liverpool will have to stay with the likes of cotes carra and skrtel, we may bring in aly scissokho, the only player i want is affeley or dempsey but affelay seems like he's staying and we need a striker like lawandolski, doumbia or dzeko,
would like a team like this

johnson coates skrtel enrique
lucas gerrard
downing dempsey adam johnson
suarezJamie Carragher? No bloody thank you!Cara at the Baggies?? never gona happen. already stated he wnts 2 stay at pool and coach.Carragher might be good enough for has beens liverpool, but he would n,t get a game for west broms academy side.

Derby have rejected a second bid for a un-named championship side, thought to be Burnley, for Jason Shackell.

The Rams have also said talks are on going with Sheffield Wednesday for Forward Chris Maguire.(8)(3)Ha ha?There was never a first bid you are
deluded.This bullst was in the Dailystar
where they said you are lining up a 1 million bid.I never laughed so much we payed 1.1 million for him from barnsley
last summer.Why would we loose 100k on
our most important player/captian.Hes valued at 3.5 million + and whether offered 7 million.We dont need to sell and want to sell.You have already bought Steve davies and James BaileyWe did not actually pay 1.1 million for him we paid 750,000.Burnley aint bought no one yet .....I'm a derby fan and and there have been 2 bids. it was in the official derby telegraph. we will sell at the asking price but I think that is 3 million.To the guy above, it says we have knocked back a second bid all over the internet so maybe get your own sources before commenting.SSN and thisisderbyshire states we've rejected 2 bids. Mate you need to chill, im a Derby fan and Shackells off. You're the deluded oneAlso a Ram, Shackell is deffo going Derby will accept Burnleys 3rd offer which has been placed!!

southampton looking at signing rob green according to daily star(8)(24)Yeah this has been in a few papers, but I cant see it myself. Davis is the No 1 keeper and I would have thought it would be best to buy a young keeper...i.e Butland.Why would we want Rob Green when we have Kelvin Davis!? Kevlin Davis is very experienced and has a couple of good years in him still. Therefore, we need someone young, for the future. e.g: Butland.They probs want three keepers :L as we only have oneHope So .Good keeper if we get him can't see us paying them wages tho all speclation atm we shall see i guess.Get bultand more potential and a better replacement for davisOne month ago no one had heard of Butland, sounds a good keeper, His young and English, I think it would be better going for him as a back up to Davies even pushing for the number one spot. I understand that there are a few teams looking at him and that he wants first team football.

Ipswich Town
Young French midfielder close to joining Ipswich Town

By Dave Gooderham
Friday, June 8, 2012
6:55 PM


PAUL Jewell is closing in on his second signing of the summer – thanks to departing defender Ibrahima Sonko.

Comments Email Print Got a story?
Young French-Guinean midfielder Cheick Kourouma is set to follow in the footsteps of fellow youngster Elliott Hewitt and sign for the Blues, subject to a medical.

Kourouma, 19, currently with Genoa Under-20s, impressed Jewell during a trial at the end of the season and is set to put pen to paper in the next week or two.

The deal was struck up thanks in part to Sonko who recommended a number of African players to the Ipswich manager before he was told he would not be offered a new deal.

Kourouma, described as a powerful box-to-box midfielder, was the first to visit Suffolk for a trial but not the last – with another of Sonko's tip-offs expected to try and impress the Blues boss over the summer.

A source close to the defender said: "Sonks loved Ipswich and he was sad to leave. Before he was told the news, he wanted to offer Chiek to Paul Jewell as he thought he could be a good player for Ipswich."

Kourouma was on the books of the Sochauex academy in France before moving to Italy, but he is being released by the cash-strapped Serie A club allowing him to join Ipswich for a nominal fee.

While his inexperience might mean he will initially have to be content with a place on the fringes of Jewell's first team, the Ipswich manager saw enough during the short trial to offer him a deal.

He continues Jewell's pledge to sign "young and hungry" players following the acquisition of Hewitt – on the day of his 18th birthday – last month.

While most fans will welcome another promising youngster signing for Town, they will now be hoping Jewell adds some more steel to the spine of his team.

A first-choice goalkeeper, two centre-backs, at least one midfielder and another striker all remain priorities but the Town boss this week warned fans to remain patient.

The manager said: "Supporters always want to see new faces arriving and I'm as impatient as anyone, more so, in trying to bring players here.

"Signing players is a complicated business. Yes, in an ideal world I'd like to have all our players in place by the time we return to pre-season training in July but we don't live in an ideal world."

One man who seems unlikely to be coming is QPR keeper Paddy Kenny who is close to leaving the Premier League club.

The 34-year-old tweeted that he was "excited to get his future sorted" before quickly deleting the message from the social media website.

While we understand Jewell considered making the veteran stopper an offer, he has moved on to other targets.

Leeds United remains favourites to secure Kenny's signature.

Charlton may make a shock move to try and sign spurs out of contract players stiker louis saha and defender ryan nelsen. They are also considering giving a contract to reading midfielder brian howard. (reliable sources)(4)(31)Theres more chance of saha buying charlton than other way round!Here we go again- the next instalment of the big charlton signing - get real mate none of these players are coming to you.^ I like that comment!Not a cafc fan so leave itNo big names - just sensible players without the egos please.Whoever wrote this isn't a Charlton fan.

Southampton looking at Chris Baird who is considering his future at Fulham.(10)(14)No thanks. Can do better.No chance....No No NoWow! Is it really necessary to get so wound up about such a simple matter? A reaction like this will stop fans posting info when we really need the 'snippets' pouring in at this stage.No nooooooooooooooooooooooo no
richardson much better than bairdChris Baird was a great player when we had him before and far better thar Fraser, good signingAs a saints fan, ill admit richardson is a liability, and baird has his days! Certainly could do mpre of a job than richardson or butterfield defensively, however both of them have a hell of a cross when they want one!I hope he stays, but will only get limited chances - nice lad, reasonable player.You guys do know that Richardson has already stated that he will leave the club this summer and that 'I wish all the best to the player who will be brought in this summer' (was on his twitter account)Frazer Richardson does not have twitter, that account was fake, his name wasn't even spelt right on it FFS.

Derby county to complete the
signing of free transfers paul dixon
and Niall Mcginn on monday(8)(13)He has agreed to join Bristol city! Fact pre contract agreement done and dusted, he never even talked to derbyI thought Dixon was going to Bristol city? :)Prove it thats hes going to bristol because if you go on his twitter he is still
on holiday since he left Dundee united.So
no club can have talked him.He will choose Derby over Bristol not because of
this us being bigger club Nonsense.But
final Posistions last year and the club with the bigger future and better chance of premier league.There were only people
saying he was going to you because our
attention to joe mattock who didnt go
on holiday but he has now signed for
Sheffield Wednesday.So unless we have
another target which i doubt we will be
doing all we can to get him as we need a
Left back desperately.It all depends on
much you want nothing about manager being scottish.

kelvin etuhu today followed in the footsteps of stephen henderson,joel ward and jason pearce to leave portsmouth and go to another club, this club is the barnsley.(22)(3)Oh no, not 'the Barnsley'!!Better than a club going out of buisness pay up pompey pay up pompeyYes mate the barnsley you should be on your knees when mentioning the super reds and paying homageFunny when it's says in are local paper he signed a new dealDeffo signed on at barnsleyHe has a massive desire to stay a pompey since apps gave him a chance after his jail stint and is thus gratefull so has dedicated himself to our pompey cause :)He has never played for rochdale, is hill feeling okay?As a Pompey fan I have to say that Etuhu never impressed me. He might have done OK in Div 1 with us but personally, do not think he is up to the Championship, still good luck to him at Barnsley.Burst last guys bubble he played On loan at rochdale under non other than keith hill!In fact you are wrong etuhu did play for rochdale four times during a brief loan spell not sure what season but lets hope hills learnt from his mistakes and adds some proven championship quality players he should be looking at trying to tempt stock coppinger and hayter from donny proven to cut it at championship more than good enough to add to our squad with some of the drab hills fetched in at least they have experience of this league and know how to dog it out in a relegation battle because i cant see any more than a relegation battle unless he pulls a few good signingsHe signed for Barnsley on Friday, please stay in touch with what's going on people, it's getting boring this

He said he liked his time here and wouldnt mind moving here forever as he stated on twitter and Rams player.

Football is football. Jason pearce,joel ward,stephen henderson,kelvin etuhu and soon: liam lawrence,dave kitson,greg halford,nwkwo kanu,marko futacs,and erik huseklepp leave the portsmouth. But ben haim will continue to play for portsmouth, want to bet? , balram chainrai will buy portsmouth and will hire again: david james,papa bouba diop, hermann hreidarsson,ricardo rocha,matt ritchie and danny webber,thus the first team squad portsmouth in season 2012/13 will be:

1-james
26-ben haim
3-rocha
4-mokoena
7-hreidarsson
6-mullins
8-bouba diop
19-norris
5-ritchie
9-webber
25-thompson(2)(45)Oh how we all love the daily dose of skate humour....Even the over fans are starting to realise what a joke of club this isNo chanceDeluded.Like ritchies gonna go to them when championship teams want himI'll have some of that, you aren't going to sign any of the players mentioned. It will be like taking candy from a baby. Come on put your money where your mouth isNot a chance!If youre like youre club youve got no money pay up pompey pay up pompey thanks for etuhu anyway...........Ben haims wages will run you into the ground alone. I'll be sure to pay a visit to the Tesco where Fratton Park used to be, wearing my premier league Saints shirt.You won't be signing anyone, you will start the season still in administration and be subject to a transfer embargo.
You might get a couple of players that no other club wants who will be out contract and without a club.... welcome to reality skates.Does anyone listen to appleton he wants YOUNG FRESH blood not 80 year old men join all of us normal pompey fans mate never gonna happen PUPWhy would we want our old team? would rather a hungry youthfull squad than the people we sold/released a few seasons ago on sky high wagesPremier league shirt? ok for one season you are rightPortsmouth will be wearing league 2 shirts next season by the looks of itI'm a pompey fan and even i agree you are talking complete bcksGot to admit, really far fetched! Pompey i believe will come out of administration via a CVA with either Chanrai of the PST, there will be no further points deduction. Players listed will not be signed by Pompey, look out for young local players and players who have L1/2 experience. PUP

Stoke to sign bellamy. Defoe. Brayford. O hara. Jarvis. Owen.(8)(59)Bellamy will either stay or go to cardiff
Defoe and owen might join
Brayford will definately not be joining
O hara Possible but seems more likely
west bromThose players like to play football, so Stoke have no chanceImpossible ........ they're all too small and they play football !!Defoe looking fairly likely to happen and Pulis spoke about Owen being an option yesterday. Jones will leave before anything happensDon't think Stoke will be spending about £30m this year which is what it will take to land that lot and that's not including signing-on fees.

BobbybuffonHaha stoke getting defoe ..wot a load of rubbish..This is nothing that us stoke fans have not heard before, you dont realise that we might be getting these new players to change stoke and our ways of playingDefoe is a definite possibility as what ever team one of the pair have joined (crouch and defoe) the other has soon followed matt javis looks like a good addition but also kightly as well could improve the squad greatly we need to start looking for players that play football or to just start as that is the next point of improvement and we are starting to realise and try to play football and when we do short spells granted we look a good side when we do play football the main concern of me is the rumours about huth leaving who could we get/afford to replace him if he leaves

yeovil town are expecting to sign stewart beavon from wycombe for an estimated 45k within the next week making him one of the most expensive signings since pablo bastianini. {E(4)(24)Wycombe want £500k for him, so not sure £45k wuold get him!But pablo pastini was 250,000 45k is really anywhere near thatGet real Yeovil, 45k for Stewart Beavon we turned down a bid of 350k from Bournemouth not long ago...Ha dont tell my club to get real, tell it to this lunatic who made up this rumour!Bastianini cost nowhere near 250,000 in terms of a transfer fee. That figure includes signing on fee, wages, etc.It's on wiki the price we paid for Pablo kind of a waste of money considering he left for nothingI can promice you this. i know people say they work for clubs etc.. but hand on heart, i really was working for yeovil town when pablo bastianini was at yeovil, and he really was £250k. he didnt have an signing on fees as we sorted him out with a house in yeovil. he was rubbish lolThe fact that it's on wiki doesn't mean it's true. The Yeovil chairman stated after Bastianini left, that the signing had cost the club in the region of £250,000. That figure included the money we had to spend to pay up his contract. Agree with you though, however much he cost, it was money wasted. {Ed001's Note - he was a free transfer, no money went to his previous club.}But even so we payed 50k for chris cohen back in the dayNo chance, mainly as its clearly a lie based on figures and club, but also Beavon will only leave for a big club and would rather not have to move home

My brother in law is best friends with Adam Johnson.
I live in Hartlepool and my brother in law recently brought Adam round my mams as she does teeth whitening and she done his. He told me that Roberto Di Matteo has already spoken to him regarding a transfer if he gets the job at Chelsea and he will sign for Chelsea in a flash as he is sick of being a part time player at City and he has already been told if an offer comes in over £10 million he can talk to them. This is 100% true and i have NEVER posted on here before butthis came from the horses mouth.(20)(39)Does that horse now have whiter teeth too? {Ed025's Note - lol..Wtf this got to do with hartlepool unitedSo he's not happy being a part-time player at Man City but he's so excited about being a part-time player at Chelsea that he gabs about it to the lass who whitens his teeth?Can she book me in for next week?Some mate you are...squealer!Surely he's been tapped up then? Is this not illigal?It only says he live in Hartlepool no mention of United!As credible as this rumour is, there is one hitch. Adam Johnson is on holiday in Las Vegas. That horse is a white-tooth liar.So if you know johnson on holiday in vegas has he not told you who or where he will be next season as it seems you know him wellI just follow him on Twitter. It's not difficult.

QPR have have met the release clause for Montpellier star Olivier Giroud. It is believed to be in the region of £12.8 million.(10)(37)Yeah right, like one of the most sought after strikers in Europe would leave Champions league football to go to a relegation scrap with QPR. Dream OnQPR won't be in a relagation scrap next year, but I agree, extremely unlikely he would leave Montpellier for QPRQpr should look at ones that they have a better chance at signingIt doesnt say he has signed, just that QPR have placed a bid. it doesnt say he has agreed terms just that QPR have bid !Bid shows ambition. No hope will they sign him but making the bid might turn a few heads in QPR's direction. Statement of intent.Yes evidence of Hughes' famous "ambition" - that's why he's with a relegation candidate club.QPR wont be a relegation candidate nex season though will they? look at what Hughes did at Blackburn, he turned them into a midtable team with very little money and QPR have loads so he should be looking to push even higher up the table in the next 2-4 seasons.Once again, QPR won't be in a relegation scrap next year, will be much more solid and consistant.

J Rod has started negotiations with Southampton. Source - BBC(27)(6)Please, for the love of God, stop calling him "Jay Rod". It doesn't make you sound like you're on personal terms with the man. It doesn't make you sound edgy. It doesn't make you sound "in-the-know". It makes you sound like like an utter knb. (Ed, I know you can't publish this, but it's really beginning to pi55 me off. Sorry)Mate he's just writing j rod where it is more easier to say than his whole name you dont have to get all mad about itTake a chill pill FFS who r u his mum?J Rod's the man!Come on J Rod, Sign!Bloody hell mate bit silly to get wound up about something like that! Everyone writes his name like that, its just one of those things...People dont do it to give the impression they know him or anything, its just a shorter way of typing his name.Everton have made a late bid for rodriguezEverton have not made a late bid, they have declared interest but need to sell before they can put a bid in.Not wanting to be picky (okay, I am), but 1. I didn't call him Jay Rod I called him J Rod and 2. I did it coz I don't know how to spell RodriguezMate you need to calm down everyone calls him j rod its easier than his full nameKD

J RodEverton need to sell before they buy. So I highly doubt that rumour is true.Exactly they cant afford a player like him and the deal is pretty much done, he will probs join us as we have the ambition to be bigger than EvertonI realise we don't know what goes on behind the scenes but I wish he'd hurry up and sign,it's getting to the stage where it looks as though he's waiting to see what other options he's got.Stop pissing about J Rod and join a great club.No bid yet just enquired everton must sell to buy and i would think signing pienar is more of a priorityIf J Rod hasn't signed by Monday night then.......I hope that isnt the saints team played:L steve cant start; and you'd chose deano over cork? Deano seems to have pressure problems, i.e. the reading game last year! and id have billy over "j rod" ;)Looking at the bigger picture Rodriguez holding out for other clubs to sniff aound hardly makes me think he is that bothered and will unsettle other players who are. Happy for him to go elsewhere and we get someone who sees us a first choice.Think Rodriguez would be a great player to sign but I really think that we need to sign some more top flight experienced footballers. Don't you think? Possibly yakubu or someone?

Peterborough are looking at loaning Wolves Young Starlet
Zeli Ismail, the young lad is very highly rated for the future with the likes of Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool looking at him for a permanent basis, if he moves to a lower club on loan it will help him experience first team action and Peterborough can give that to him.(3)(20)1 phrase LOL .. you couldn't afford his laces he turned down Chelsea n man cityNo loans for Posh this summer!No chance. if jarvis is sold he'll be playing 4 wolves.. they knw how good he is.. dnt need 2 loan him out. only got a year left on his contract. so why would they loan him out?Heard the same about his team mate the striker Mcalinden looks like the Wolves players are all off to Peterbourgh lol not!Forde is above Ismail in the pecking order at th moment so it may be trueAs i understand it, past loans have been ineffective and so the decision not to use that market has been taken by the club except on an emergency basis.

Tottenham are in talks with Barcelona for Thiago Alcantara.(11)(27)This is utter nonsense. Alcantara is seen as one of the brightest prospects ever to come out of the Camp Nou. Anyone clicking the "Believable" clearly knows nothing about football. {Ed007's Note - Anyone using the term 'the Camp Nou' really shouldn't be taken seriously. Stick to the X-Box and virtual El Clasico matches at the The Estadio Santiago Bernabeau.}Lmfao That's funny Ed007. Anyone that calls the Nou Camp anything else is just trying to sound like some idiot pundit from TV. I suppose Hazard is pronounced Haazzzaarrr in you litle world......

Like the Ed says, stick to the xbox and pretending you are doing interviews as a manager when you are in the shower. Plank!^^^ You do both realise that the actual official name of the "Nou Camp" is the Camp Nou? It means new stadium and the only reason its known at all as the Nou Camp is because of english speakers who put the Nou before the Camp? So don't run your mouth before you know what you're talkin about.

LolKevin Phillips was at b2 net last season but only to keep during pre season, he was training with the squad. (like Beckham did with arsenal when he first moved to America) Phillips was never goin to join chesterfield, I wish he had. But I think Kevin Phillips playing for chesterfield is a no go. And it's midfielders and defenders the mighty spierites need.Phillips took up his final year option at Blackpool then will retire.

Arsene wenger eyeing up anthony pilkington as replacement to departing RVP, norwich holding out for 5 million.(6)(39)Total rubbish
Pilkington is not going anywhere this Season if he shows same form next season he will be worth a lot more than £5MPilks is a wingerWe would not sell pilks for less than ten millionWhat a load of rubbish!

Firstly, Pilks is a winger.

Secondly, and probably more importantly, as much as I rate Pilks and think he'll be a big player for NCFC next season, he's not in RVP's class.He is nowhere near Arsenal class and RVP's replacement has already been bought in Podolski.We would, just not that likely to be soldNot in arsenals class? A young winger who scored 8 in his first season in the prem shortly after recovering from a broken leg. He is easily arsenals classI'm a Norwich fan and he's not Arsenal class. By any stretch of the imagination.

Ipswich town close to signing george boyd and simon cox fulham and qpr keen on jay emmanuel thomas, jewell keen to pair up jimmy b with coppinger,andy drury to anchor midfield.(2)(18)I hope both of them come to Ipswich.Can't see Coppinger coming though and we're not selling JET, Jewell said do himself.For god sake coppinger is not joining ipswich it is true we did try to sign him last year but thats was then and ipswich have new targetsJewell actually said he would sell jet if right offer comes in and i would think premier league is more appealing than bottom half of championship and 7 1 hammerings at peterboroNot jimmy "dont play dont care and get 18k " bullardAt least it's not jimmy "dont play dont care and get 45k " bullard like it used to be at HullOh that's original. Brig up the 7-1 drumming. Convenient that you forgot the time we thrashed West Ham 5-1. Ipswich is not a bad place to be.
Although we may sell him at the right price. I think he was valued at 3 million.

Jay Rodriguez to snub Southampton and sign for Everton.(23)(28)How do you know did he tell you that himself haha plus dont everton have to sell first before they can buy a playerEverton cant aford himYou dont have any idea what he will do! No one does apart from him. Everton are interested apparently, but they need to sell before they can bid and they will not be able to match what Saints are offering. However if he wants to wait and see if Everton can buy him then fair enough Saints will move on to the next target. As a Saints fan I only want players who want to join and give 100% to the club.Not going to happen, will sign for Saints over the weekend, New keeper next week."As a Saints fan I only want players who want to join and give 100% to the club."
I agree, if he isn´t sure and fails to make a decision in the next couple of days then we should move on. Plenty of time to find someone else. (preferably someone who is proven in the prem)The funny part is if he will most probably snub your club (Everton) and every other club such as Aston Villa and Wigan because we have more potentialGood post mate,totally agree.Everton don't have the time left to do it. Southampton will have given him a deadline, if he misses that he risks not going to Everton if they can't raise the money. They don't have many players that are desirable for big money. Also, pienaar is top of their list, so they will be buying him first.Don't have many players desirable for big money? Are you mad? Baines, Fellaini, Heitinga, Osman, Cahill etc etc. Jeez I hate it when newly promoted fans think their team is the best thing since sliced bread. Hope Saints enjoy their religation battle this season.

Sam Baldock, West Ham, Loan
Craig Gordan, free transfer
Paul Green, free transfer(10)(21)Why would West Ham send Baldock to Hull when they could use him as a part exchange for other playersYou can have Bramble. And Bruce will only be there for a season.Doubt theyll get titus bramble for such a small fee.Bruce only payed 1mil for him when he signed for Sunderland. So I'd take 1mil easy he's rubbishWhy would Hull City swap Matty Fryatt , when Heskey is on a free?????Craig gordon won't drop to the championship, he's going to spurs anyway, i know this because i'm his boyfriendNothing like the old mates club is there? Bruce will be looking for 2 keepers, a centre half, and a centre forward. Alluded to the fact we have a very young squad so expect some zimmer frames turning up at Hull during the summer for a nice pension pay dayHeskey and meyler. Managed both and good loan move for meyler, still north east and championship experience.Craig gordan in talks with wigan so thats lies and heskey not linked with hull so dont know where you are hearing this

ipswich and charlton told bids in region of 1 mil for colchesters anthony wordsworth the highest scoring midfielder in league 1(1)(10)Highest scorer in League 1?
Anthony Wordsworth, Colchester, 13 goals
Jeff Huges, Notts County, 17 goals

If you want to split hairs they both got 13 in the league but Hughes scored 4 in cups!What about J.Hughes Notts County for goals.Chill out statoNo, I've been told by good sources it'll be no more than 700-800k as he REALLY wants to come to usTo cafc btw ^^^^Be prepared to be majorly disappointed!Ipswich and million

now there's two words you dont see together often.Yawn...

Dixie dean? Few years ago! In recent times we have had halford, Lua lua and Garcia all move from u's to the premiership, along with mark kinsella who went onto play at international level for Ireland.

But anyway, Tranmere are older than colchester and have a bigger stadium so 'nuff said'! Haha

Dont see that it's really an argument based on club size anyway, sears is local and likes it at colchester and gets on well with existing players, plus big Sam is mates with john ward, I would be surprised to see him sign for anyone elseBumped into woody yesterday and he hasn't even spoken to any clubs.

Michael Laudrup rumoured to be in talks
about the Swansea City vacancy.
He would look back to La Liga for signings
to strengthen the squad, going back to
his old Mallorca and Getafe for possible
signings, maybe even loan deals from
Barcelona and Real Madrid. I have heard
Zinedine Zidane's son, Enzo is keen to
play under the former Real Madrid man if
he moves to Swansea, also because of
the style of play. Also Jonathan Dos
Santos would be interested in first team
football at the Liberty.(3)(20)If Jon Don Santos signed, so would Giovanni

west brom looking at hoillett on a free, matt jarvis, martin kelly on loan, maxi rodriguez and danny guthrie(11)(26)Reading have no interest in Doyle, especially since Doyle has publically discredited it by stating he does not want to go back in local newspapers.

Hoillet is going abroad to a team playing in European tournaments.

Maxi Rodrigeuz is going nowhere, you just need to go on the Liverpool FC website to see that.Agbonlahor to arsenal, are you sure? he had a shocking seasonDoubt Borussia Monchengladbach would let WBA have Hoilett for nothing having just signed him.Villa fans would love Agbonlahor to leave and Granty Holt to come in the difference between the two is Holt scores goals gabby don'tWe don't want Gabby gone! Holt is 31 & would cost us almost £7m - no thank you!
Gabby is Aston Villa. Gabby & Bent = Unstoppable!Hoillet has gone to b.gladbachYoure an absolute person to think Villa fans want Agbonlahor gone, he grew up in Birmingham and has been a villa lad his whole life, hes a cult hero at Villa, none of the Villa fans want him gone, holt is st, had one good year in the prem that doesnt mean anything and hes 31, and we know what Gabby can doGabby has only ever had pace now he's losing it gabby does score goalsAlbion 2 sign Jarvis? whr they gona get 10mill plus frm? neva gona happen.Why would Wolves loan Jarvis out? if he's not sold they'll keep hold of him surely?Why would WBA want Jarvis? He's terrible, he's quick and that's it. I've seen him play so many times, he can't cross if his life depended on it

It is likely Carragher will be used in a player coach type role as he begins to obtain coaching licences....Rubbish. Carra has already been offered a coaching role at liverpool.

Charles N'Zogbia very keen on a move
to Norwich City
Good friends With Chris Hughton and wouldnt it be ironic if norwich start taking lamberts
players(15)(30)I disagree villa are still the bigger club so he'll stay putVilla WERE a bigger club, but not anymore I'm afraid.No it wouldn't be ironic. I think Alanis Morissette has A LOT to answer for.Villa are still having a bad season doesn't mean we are a small club previous to last season we finished 9th then we had 3 consecuative seasons finishing 6th something most teams in the Premier League can only dream of, we have won the Carling cup 5 times F.A cup 7 times won the top division 7 times and won the european Cup again stuff only a few Premier League teams can say we also have one of the best Academies in the world and best training facilities so are we really a small club.... n were massiveAston villa are very big club only champ L contenders are bigger. He would be a great buy, i think he is prb on 25000 so ths
Rule us out. I cant see lambert selling anyone untill he has had good look at whats av to him at villa. Ncfc mattHow long ago were these cup wins?
'Were' a big club yesWe don't want Lambert's playersI think his 50k a week wedge would destroy Norwich's strict wage budget considering their top earner is on 15kVilla are a bigger club bare in mind few years ago we were in the carling cup final and fa cup semi final and europe etc and you were in championship/league 1 so 1 bad season doesnt make us a worse team i almost 100% assure you n'zogbia would never go to norwich as norwich have now reached their peak whereas villa can go alot furtherGetting very fed up of childish posts about who is the bigger club and why? Villa have one bad season and fans of teams who for the last 30 years have trailed Villa but finish above them once creep out of the woodwork and post tripe. FACT - Only 5 English teams have won the European Cup. FACT - It is irrelevant when they won it, FACT - they won it after being Champions of England the season before and on a level playing field, Mr Abramovich!!. When you have won the European Cup or indeed any cup, or are 5th in the all time list of the gross number of pints since the inception of the Prem League (more than Spurs, Newcastle, Everton, Man City and Norwich!!), then you have a right to accuse Villa of being small, but until then go and stick your head in a bucket of cold water, clear your mind of all the petty jealousy and rubbish swimming around and come back and post something a bit more sensible and realistic.I'm a Norwich fan and its unbelievable people saying Villa are a smaller club than Norwich. We've had a good season and they had a poor one but it could all swing. That's all it is, one season.Let's end this now. I'm a Norwich fan. N'Zogbia is not coming to us. Villa are not a small club. In every way you want to measure it, they 3e a bigger club than Norwich. They had a bad season and Manager last year and the owner won't spend to keep them up with the top 8 in England. That doesn't make them a small club. Lambert will make them a top 10 club without money. Norwich will be ok. Hughton will have his own targets, but the wage structure will be less than 20k per week. McNally won't allow us to put the club at risk. In my opinion that is the right thing to do. Stay up this year and we can then build the city stand, be debt free and spend bigger on transfers and wages steadily. Like West Brom or Stoke have done. We may then be able to attract and afford players like N'Zogbia.
So, stop this nonsense about Villa being a small club and Norwich being bigger and better than everyone else - it's getting embarrassing. OTBCI wouldnt mind 15 grand a week!!

Matt Mills - Leicester - 2.5 million
Jodan Rhodes - Huddersfield - 6 million
Ryo Miyayachi - Arsenal - Loan
Lucas Piazon - Chelsea - Loan(5)(58)Why would Rhodes leave Town to go to another Championship team. If he leaves it will be to Prem.Jordon Rhodes to Bolton???Absolute no chanceJordan Rhodes won't leave Hudds for a championship team! He'll be in blue & White stripes next season (even if back on loan from a big Prem side)Like there gonna get rhodesMiyayachi yes needs game time at his age rhodes to villa or fulham i heard not going bolton in the championshipRyo is going on loan to southampton to join fellow japanese international tandanari leeWow the jordan rhodes fanboys are back out in forceIf it was up to the Leicester fans I'm sure they'd pay you to take Matt Mills. He left Reading so he could play Premiership football you know.....Mills - Maybe, Celtic are still leading

Rhodes - No Chance

Miyachi - No Chance

Piazon - NO CHANCE


Why are these people allowed internet access ?Piazon will happen because when we sold cahill to chelsea in the clause were aloud to sign a chelsea player on loan
also bolton to sign Matt mills - 2.5m

senagalese winger 1m
Adrian marriapa 4mMmmm. Bolton £100 million in debt and out of the premiership. They're a selling club not a buying clubBolton owe just £10m to their owner Eddie Davies, that is all.90 mill to our owner, only 10 mill to bank, better financial position than a lot of teams. Owner open to signing young talent but not allowing stupid wages. Quick return to the prem nxt season. Lot of dead wood cleared out, lot of young players cumming through.Is there anybody Southampton are not signing even Wenger has come out and said he was Ryo to go back to Bolton100 million dept is 100 million debt doesn't matter who its to. ha bolton straight back to the premiership? dream on. Mid table next season at best90 mil in debt to the owner who doesnt want it back because he is a bolton fan so it sorta does change thingsDoesn't want it back becuase hes a bolton fan? so why doesn't he write the debt off then? keep dreaming sunshineWhen do you think the Southampton owners will be asking for there millions back then??

eading have had a £2 million bid for Nottingham Forest right-back Chris Gunter turned down.

Royals offered the cash for the Forest defender last week before being rejected.

The Wales international played in his nation's 2-0 defeat to Mexico in New Jersey on Sunday and was being watched by Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers.

However, it is now thought that the former Reading manager's interest in the 22-year-old has cooled.

And Royals could be in the driving seat when it comes to landing the former Tottenham Hotspur player having already captured his Gunter's friend and former team mate Garath McCleary from Forest this summer.

Get Wokinghham(2)(14)Wait so all the news about Brendan Rodgers going to Liverpool was not true... get your facts straight mate.Catch up we dont want him this all happened donks agoHe was still Swansea boss when he watched the friendly....mate.As per usual get wokingham is two weeks behind, this was in the post and chronical weeks ago.. At the end of the month you'll read today's artical that the royals have pulled out of signing gunteras they don't believe he's worth 3milWhy are there so many deluded reading fans. Get with the programme. Our ETHOS will not change for at least two years which sir madjeski is chairman. Then possibly (but doubt it) we will splash the cash. Are you a closet fan?We know our ethos hasn't changed, but how would that stop us signing Gunter for around £2m? We've spent that sum on players in the past, Halford, Fae, Mills etcI think you will find that we will spend big, but not stupidly. We will not sign players if clubs try to rip us off and will always stick within the wage bracket, but the transfer fee is not too much of a problem.

 


08 Jun 2012 19:08:54
Tom Barchuzen from Blackpool to go on season long loan to Fleetwood Town(8)(14)Erm i don't think so, he is now a first team squad memberWho will trust a fool's rumour who can't even spell the players name correctly - Tom Barkhuizen, is the person I think you mean.First team squad member? Are you serious?
After being out on loan at league 2 Hereford last season he is now in our first team. He will go out on loan again to either league 1 or 2. Personally I think Fleetwood would be a good loan for him, at least then he wouldn't have far to travel.Yes first team, with a 7 sub bench he will not be going anywhere plus with Blackpool reentering a reserve team the lad is staying put.So you're telling me that Tom will be in a team where Lua Lua struggled to get into, even if it is on the bench (where Lua Lua spent most of his time at the back end of the season). He is no where near that ability yet and he will more than likely go out on loan. Not good enough for the first team either.Good move I think, the lad needs more experience.

Reading are favourites to land Brighton's Liam Bridcutt ahead of Aston Villa and Fulham. Newly-promoted Royals are preparing a £2million bid for the midfielder, 23(7)(20)He won't go to a small club like thatWe arent a small club anymore, we are the 9th richest club in the world in terms of ownership with £4bn from Boris Zingarevich and Anton Zingarevich, if you dont believe it, do your research! Anyway, its a bigger club than the one hes had now.He won't go for 2 millionSo being rich apparently makes Reading a big club? Uh, you have to win major trophies for that.He is going nowhere. Especially for as little as £2milBrighton are a big club? Could've fooled me. They moved from the playing field and finally get a proper stadium and suddenly think they are big.He won't go for a small fee like thatMoney means nothing!
Man Utd is skint but still are HUGE!Reading are bigger than Brighton. To be honest I don't want him.You,re right we are not a big club...YET!.But if you can achieve Four promotions including a playoff final win in 12 years at a "playing field"with virtually no money and when its hard to attract the best players,then what do you think we can achieve with a "proper stadium" And when that day comes it wont just be you that looks a fool.Brighton are the 10 biggest season ticket sellers in england! thats a fact, over23 thousand ticket sold already not bad for a small seaside club how many have you sold reading?Haha I love brightons big club mentality. They move from a leisure facility to an actual stadium after ten years and now suddenly their Barcelona. The best part of 15 years you've been in the third tier occasionally fluttering in the second. Big club you is no longerWhat are you lot expecting ?? £5million for a player that quite frankly was not that impressive.Brightons Max Attendance before the playing fields 37,000, So only a Temp dip in attendances down to no ground.Reading have sold around 18000 season tickets which is where it has been capped at. Brighton may have more ST holders but you're still a smaller club than usReading are not the 9th richest club in the world! Antons father is not involved and that was confirmed! Its just this Anton fella. Some Reading fans have been unbearable since this takeover!Boris is involved and that has been confirmed SJM himself even said so and confirmed in a radio interview that Boris is a billionaire at least twice over.Boris is involved as he was looked at by the pl. however he is not interested in day to day running of the club as this is Anton's project but has promised funds to Anton if needed. So no not technically the 9th richest club as some ott royals are dreaming but potentially we are pretty well offWhat happens when Anton Zingarevich gets bored with his new toy and takes his money out?Anton is the only one involved that is a fact. Boris had to take the FPPT, but it was confirmed he is not getting involved at the minute, maybe down the line sometime. THAT was also confirmed. Regardless it doesnt mean all that money is Readings, you have a secure future and will get investment with facilities etc and a budget each season. Doesnt mean your billionaires and can buy who you want.

Southampton will sign:
- Jay Rodriguez
- Jack Butland
- Danny Guthrie (competition from other clubs too)
- Robert Snodgrass
- Nathaniel Clyne
- Andrew Surman
- Kevin De Bruyne (depending on Surman deal)

Out:
- Aaron Martin, Palace, Loan
- Jason Puncheon
- Danny Butterfield, part of Clyne deal
- Tommy Forecast - Oxford
- Lee Barnard, Sheffield United
-Jonathon Forte, Notts County
- Dan Seaborne, Brighton(8)(40)Surman's going nowhereWhy would we be bringing Surman back? We don't need him. Yes, he is a Saints legend, but there are better optionsSaints are supposed to have a second to none world wide scouting system. Is it believable we will still only sign players based in the UK-where we know prices are inflated?
Let's have a bit more imagination.Clyne will never sign for Southampton.Surman has been wanted by Newcastle since January . Southampton have the most unrealistic fans"Surman has been wanted by Newcastle since January . Southampton have the most unrealistic fans"....You think Saints fans are the most unrealistic because someone said we are after Surman? Even though we are not after him thats a stupid comment. He is Saints through and through and has stated he would like to return one day...Also you need to look through this site again, there are a lot more fans from other teams who are more unrealistic than Saints.No, Pompey fans like posting unrealistic rumours about SaintsCan't see Surman playing for Pardew! Perhaps Saints fans are a bit more knowledgeable than those from Newcastle.Saints legend he is, but not good enough what so ever for us any more. We can do far better these days, and can see us destroying a team like norwich this season, with or without saints reject surman in there team-end off storyYou should change your name to real southhampton as u lot getting far to big for your boots. U think every player is going to jump when u go calling. Come aug u are in for a very big shock. I think reading will do much betterReally hope we(saints) don't go for Clyne. Overrated and overpriced. If Man Utd want to pay 10mill for him they're mad. Bit of shopping around and we'll get better abroad for less than half the price.Mick Channon, Matt Le tiss. These are saints legends. Surman was a decent player. But legend??!!!Why wouldn't Clyne sign, just because bigger clubs are after him"Saints legend he is, but not good enough what so ever for us any more. We can do far better these days, and can see us destroying a team like norwich this season, with or without saints reject surman in there team-end off story".....Its Saints fans like you that give us a bad name, its if your really a Saints fan. Surman is not a Saints "reject" and saying we will be destroying Norwich or any team for that matter is just stupid. We will do well next season, but saying stuff like that is dumb.Never?Why not brainac did he tell you that himselfMatey going on about us changing our name to Real Southampton. Have you ever fault maybe just maybe this rumour and many more stupid rumours posted on here are by our wonderful best surported club in the world neighbours no money Pompey. We do not think we are to big for our boots (grow up) no one is making you read these comments certainly not making you reply. Keep your opinions to yourself. Out of interest which club to you follow.As a saints fan, I'm not sure Chaplow quite has enough for the prem, although a useful squad player and would be happy for him to stay. Without doubt he is an excellent Championship player and anyone who signs him in that league will benefit..As a BHA fan I'd love Chaplow to join Albion. He's unattractive but breaks up the opposition midfield play and then gives the play to more skillful players to do their stuff. I've always been impressed when he's played against us.

With Damien Johnson signing for Fleetwood it looks increasingly likely that Michael Collins could be making a return to Huddersfield Town.(4)(23)Haha don't make me laugh we sold him when we where in league 1 because we didn't want/need himSaying that, if you can score another winner against Leeds then welcome backI doubt it. If he can't get into Scunthorpes team,he ain't gonna get in Towns team.C'mon Michael Collins we know its you, own up!Why do people have to make up total rubbish? Why would he be back at town when he has done nothing for Scunthorpe? If he was to leave them it would probably be to a worse team. I did like him when he was at town but no way a championship playerWas it Michael Collins who wrote the above??Ha micheal collins is league 2 maybe league 1 player at the best no chance he of to townHaving a laugh when Keith Andrews is on our radar after recently being released by west brom so why would we get Collins back when we can have someone with the experience of the premier leagueYou mean the Micheal Collins who has played a massive 33 times for Scunthorpe in the last 2 years ...yeah i doubt that very muchHe was sat infront of me at Wembley in the play-off final, but i still doubt this, a step in the wrong direction, we're building for the future, not stepping into the pastCollins signed for rotherham last week

Norwich City have promised Hughton the most financial freedom in the clubs history, according to NCFC CEO McNally VIA BBC. It is assumed that this will mean Hughton will have well over 15million in transfer money, as last season an est. 15million was spent during the two transfer windows.(13)(14)This is true as the club have got rid of a lot of their debts and a good finishing position in the EPL last season has also benefited them financially... OTBCWhat i actually says is any money made from selling players will given to him to buy players plus any money on top of that, that he gets from the transfer budget which is at least 10 million. so overall you could have a big amount of money to spend depending on how much you get for the players. So Whitbread is free transfer so you wont get anything from that, but if you sold Holt then you will get at least 15 million depending on the asking price Norwich want for Grant Holt which i'd say 4-5 million maybe less so it all depends on what you get for your out going players and your in coming players. but you should still have a transfer budget of 10-15 million as your transfer fund. So you are looking at a transfer budget of 20 million depending on who you sell but this seem like the best idea for your club overall buy looking at the debt you have which a lot less than a lot of clubs but again you don't have the financial backing that clubs like Man City or Man Utd have to pay of your debts so your debt is pretty big for your club. So this sell to buy idea added on to the already large transfer budget is a promising idea for the club as it means you have the money to bring in players you wouldn't otherwise be able to afford. Good luck in who you buy form a Saints fanNCFC have decided to clear all their outstanding debt this season hence the transfer budget will remain similar to last season, so prob around 15mill of the course of the two windows. we do not need to sell and will not entertain bids (mcnally) and personally i actually do not expect unplanned departures now CH is in place, unless anyone is stupid enough to pay 6mill for a 31yr old who has had one good season in the top flight. doubtfull. city fan in the knowOP here - to the second comment - I think we will have a base budget of about 15million, maybe a little more. the clubs outsider debt is almost completely payed off. and all investors have stated they do not mind putting internal debt aside for the time being.
Holt's contract looks likely to be sorted, with the new contract agreement of russ martin today. it is a sign that the club are moving on to sorting out new terms with players still within contract. The feeling from twitter is that holt wants to stay, and it is public knowledge that his children do not want him to relocate.
as for selling of other players. can really only see 3 or 4 players being sold. (Barnett, C. Martin, etc.) but at the moment a budget W/O any sales is looking between 15-20m for the course of the season.Think you have both got the figure wrong. At the after dinner awards the chairman said, that there was an EXTRA 10 million to spend on players. So as Norwich spent around 15 million over the last season, it could be as much as 25 million this season. Expect 15 million to be spent during the summer and the rest will be saved for the January window. These figures are without selling ANY players, so any players sold will make the total to spend even more! Good times being a Norwich supporter!Norwich won't need to spend big, we need another centre back, and another striker, then any other players leaving will need to be replaced like for like.
Hughton will inject a new lease of life into the squad hopefully enough to avoid second season syndrome, I was gutted to see Lambert leave but this whole episode may turn out to be a blessing in disciuse.....in Hughton we trust.I'd like to see Curtis Davies, Nathan Redmond, Robert Snodgrass, Henri Lansbury, Jordan Rhodes, Kyle Naughton/Nathaniel Clyne... Snodgrass still wants to link up with Johnson and Howson and Hughton has seen Henri in the championship last season. Hopefully Hughton can pinch Davies and Redmond and Rhodes can join up with Pilks.Wow look i like NCFC and i'm a saints fan but don't get your hopes up on big buys this season, not being harsh but your defense is crap lets be honest on that it was letting you down last season, when you should have won you lost because your defense was just not good enough. that is all CH needs to work on at this stage the rest of your team are good and i'm sure you will stay up next season, i'm not sure about Saints staying up because i don't think our defense is up to scratch with the premier league but we will give it a good, it all really depends on what Nigel Adkins does in this transfer window that is going to be major thing for us and i feel its the same for you, As a team you are good not the best fans i have ever seen when i watched a game against you a couple of years ago but still get behind your team. I just think the only weakness in your team is your defense i'm prove on that and you will be unstoppable and you would only need to spend 10-12 million at the most just to improve your defense and mid field and you will be hitting good figures next season. I really look forward to playing at home and away next season and we will give you the best game we've got no doubt about that :) good luck to yaWhen we had both Whitbread and Ayal on, our defense was emense. We didn't have bad defenders, but we most certainly are lacking on a LB and now a CB with whitbread not getting a new contract. I think 2 defenders will be bought and put straight into the first team. followed by one more to be put on the bench, 2 new forwards and 2 midfielders to create first team competition.

wolves set to sign Björn Bergmann Sigurðarson for 4m reported in ssn and norway tv(20)(19)There is a bit of chatter across Europe but no official announcements yet. Don't get too excited yet!Hes going to cardiffHe's not going to CardiffWhy would he go to Cardiff when he could go to wolves?? Wolves are bigger and better club. Dream on red dragons lol! Oh sorry blue birds lol!! Joke club...I hope he joins done my research on him known goal scorer even though it was in a minor league you still have to score though also said to be the next Imbrahimovic hopefully a bit more hard working though I also think Jarvis will stay Hammil to have good season with Kightly if he stays playing behind striker also like to see a creative midfielder come in or a goalscoring midfielder a Keith Andrews who is on a free or Peter Whittingham from Cardiff who is a very good player and Kightly better stay because we looked after him gave him a chance but if he would shove that back at us then stuff him up the wolves.He'll be Jordan Rhodes strike partner at Huddersfield next season, IF Grayson can't secure his preferred option.

when portsmouth get taken over by chanrai, appletons first 3 signings will be jon parkin, paytner and george thorne on season loan with etuthu and futacs signing new contracts(1)(21)What do you mean-when?

Firstly, I suspect HMRC will not be accepting 2p in the £.

Secondly, very doubtful Chanrai will be able to slip through the "fit and proper" owner assessment again.

I think this only adds another nail into the lid, and your club will be 6 foot under before too long.Chanrai isn't going to be investing any money into Portsmouth.
The only reason he's interested in buying Portsmouth is to he his money back.
Once he's striped your club bare he'll flog you off to the next fraudster.
And the circle continues...Etuhu has already signed for barnsleyLet's hope you get the 15 points or more deduction you so deserve - and get relegated again!Youre not gonna have a club soon never mind playersAppleton is looking for a young side. So I doubt Jon Parkin will be signed. Paynter is a possibility but he's getting on the old side. Futacs will probrably stay and Etuhu is now a Barnsley playerWhere did you here etuhu signed for barnsley? i think you're talking a load of rubbish to be honestOn Barnsley's official site.You've got to love people making stuff up when they don't even check the basic facts like Etuhu doesn't even play for you anymore. It is too little too late for Portsmouth and on 30 June 2012 they will be wound up.Laugh my a"@e off at the pompey fan. 'I think your talking a load of rubbish to be honest' ha proves the point that pompey fans clearly cannot read! Everyone is leaving a sinking ship!I've heard on 30th June Pompey will release all unsold players from their contracts as they wont be able to pay them and will be offically wound up on 01 July 2012. HAPPY DAYSIf they offered 2p in the pound
a creditors
tell them to stick it
insult to the good people
of hampshireI hope the taxman shuts
you down
2p is an insult and you
should not be allowed
to get away with it

two years time you ll be

in the same boat again
nothing changesWell tbf if the 'taxman' does shut us down no one will get an thing.. now how does that help? also etuhu has signed a new (lower wages) contract..Etuhu has signed for Barnsley! Even Pompey fans dont know whats going on at their own club!I find it hard to believe how any 'football' fan can want a club closed down, i wouldn't even want the saints shut down. Funny how they talk about our problems so much, yet they still couldn't beat us?Patheric for so called 'football fans' to want to see any club closed down. You bring shame on youself and your club.
Pompey are not the first and most certainly will not be the last club to enter Administration and 2p in the pound is a typical offer, so just be careful how much you shhot your mouth off, it could be your club very soon.Yeah etuhu has signed, however we will never die!I am a saints fan, and I have to say,i agree thatwe shouldn't be here wishing for a team to be shut down, yes, pompey fans showed no mercy when we were in a similar position, butwith no pompey, we have no rivalry and many people will be deeply hurt. Show some respect.

Burnley to seal deals for Richard Chaplow and Jason Shackell once Rodriguez finalises Southampton transfer.(7)(12)Eddie Howe to up his bid to sign Jason Shackell from Derby County.... Lancashire telegraph.. FACTSeal deals? You're interested in Shackell, you have had a bid rejected, Cloughs said he's not for sale. yet you think you're going to seal the deal? Yeah, right...Chaplow has said he is not going anywhere do your research before making up a rumourChaplow is NOT part of the Jay Rod deal! He said hes staying at SaintsHad chaplow before, dont want him again... we want match winners..... not ball watchersWould you burnley fans
know a match winner
if you saw oneShackell will leave for 2.5M but Burnley have only bid 1.2M so unless they up the bid he is going nowhere"had chaplow before don't want him again"
^
Too funny. For the first part of last season when saints powered their way to the top of the league Chaplow was about our best player. Then he got injured.
Today's lesson: he would walk into Burnley's side.

Moussa dembele will stay with fulham this summer n will se how things go b4 commiting to a nee deal . Dempsey has pledged to only leave for champions league football n as no1 has even bid for him , he may stay at fulham . Aj will leavevas will etuhu , sa bh riise, haliche n simon davies . In will come niccolita of st ettiene , kuba blaszcikowszki of bvb , jansen of hamburg . If pogrebnyak dont sign fulham will audaciously bid for Giroud n if that goes belly up , will move for lopez of lyon or gingac (again) on loan deals.(4)(2)Can confirm that Fulham will indeed keep Moussa Dembele unless a stupidly good offer comes in. MD himself has said he feels like he owes Martin Jol for making him the player he is today, so will perhaps also sign a new deal so FFC get more money from the deal than if he was to leave this summer.

Nicolitta will NOT be joining Fulham, he has better offers on the table.

Would be ridiculously happy with Olivier Giroud but I imagine he will stay with Montpellier after winning the French league and thus qualifying for the Champions League.

Lisandro Lopes played 43 times for Lyon this past season and scored 26 goals, I don't think they'd loan him out, he's a world class striker.

Gignac is possible, but would rather not after he declined us and Everton saying he deserves bigger.

Blaszcikowszki - Maybe, but unlikely.

Marcel Jansen is very possible.

Southampton Football Club rumours
INS: Daniel Powell £2,000,000 from Mk dons
Matthew Jarvis £4,000,000 from Wolves
Jack Butland £3,000,000 from Birmingham City
Jay Rodriguez £7,000,000 from Burnley
Lewis Dunk £3,000,000 from Brighton
Kevin de Bruyne loan from Chelsea
Ruben Suarez free agent
Mario Gaspar free agent

OUTS:
Lee Barnard 600k to Leeds
Morgan Schneiderlin £6million to Olympique Lyonnais
aaron martin loan to palace #(6)(32)Absolute rubbish-I really can't believe Saints have such deluded fans.

If you are really a Saints supporter, why don't you know a little more about your club?

Who is it that Adkins thinks will show himself to be one of the best midfield players in the Premiership next season?

Yes, Morgan-who you have just sold!

Get back to fantasy football, and stop giving the club a bad name.Try 10m for jarvis kidDaniel Powell-2million?
if this is true its a bit much saying they accepted a 450k bid from Derby county.Jarvis for £4 mill, just going on loan then?No way that Jarvis will move for less than 7.5 milSchneidelin has only recently signed a new contract , so i doubt he will be moving anytime soonSchneiderlin has already expressed his delight at finally getting the chance to play in the PL...why would we sell him?

Also those are some laughable signings.4 mill what planet you living on 10 millionWolves have already rejected a nine mil bid for jarvis so no hopeSchneiderlin is not going anywhere obviously, don't be so ridiculous.
Wolves fans please get real. I know your playing hard to get with the price but not in a million years will he go for 10mill. Whether you need to sell or not is totally irrelevant. He is prem standard and won't want a year minimum in the championship. If he wants to go he'll go and I suspect it'll be for 6-7mill and not to saints as we seem more interested in Ince.Which one of jarvos shoelaces do you want for that measly ammount?What the others have said. Already established dunk will cost 5 mill. Up past your bedtime?You may be in the prem but you have no bigger pulling power than Wigan or Stoke. just cos you're in the perm that doesn't mean players will go to you. You're not a big club like Leeds, Forest or West Ham so you'll never get these players since decent clubs will be after themWolves fans except that Jarvis won't want to play for a championship because he's to good for you and you won't get 10m for him, he'll force a deal through to leave8-10 mil for Jarvis so you got no chanceJarvis worth 4mil max, over priced and better players for the same moneyMatt Jarvis for 10 mill?! please wake up from your fantasy world. He will go for 4 mill, 5 max and Wolves will realise this when it comes to you inevitably selling him to lessen your wage bill4 million for jarvis? Thats just stupid 8 goals and 5 assists for the team that finished bottom by quite a long way in the end! If Downing went for 20 million then Jarvis is worth at least 8 million. And he wont go to a newly promoted club like Southampton. Expect him to go to a club more established in the league than that. Personally i wouldnt be surprised if he went to Villa, this isnt a rumour i've heard but he would fit in well and villa arent where they were 3 years ago so players like the standard of jarvis are what they should be looking to signWe are not a big club like Leeds, Notts Forest and West Ham? Sorry but thats rubbish, yes Leeds and Notts Forest are big clubs and I would love to see them back in the Premier League, but they are in the Championship...We have more appeal over them. Also we can certainly be equal to West Ham at least! We finished above them last season and with the financial backing and facilities we have we are a big club.Jarvis....4 million for an England international with 3 yrs on his contract and 25yrs old. You are either deluded, a comedian or an 8yr oldA few facts here guys from a Wolves and I do believe I have a brain and I am not drunk or deluded:-

1) Wolves have no desire to sell Jarvis.
2) Wolves have no neccesity to sell Jarvis.
3) Jarvis quite rightly will want to play Premier League football.
4) Wolves do not need to remove Jarvis from the wage bill as it has been quite publicly stated that Roger Johnson is the only player who does not have a relegation wage drop clause.
5) I expect Wolves to sell Jarvis to the highest bidder to eliminate any possible distruption within the camp, I am not going to claim I know who this may or may not be, that includes the point that if they bid enough it's possible he could go to Southampton.
6) It WILL take a bid of over £7m for Moxey to even consider allowing him to talk to another club.
and finally
7) I couldn't care less if he goes because he only plays for half a season anyway, for the first 25 or more games last season he was complete donkey doo and only came alive when he realised Wolves were doomed and yes I watched the games as I'm a season ticket holder, Seat 77 Row T Stan Cullis Stand!

BobbybuffonFor all the people saying wolves fans get real he isn't worth 10 million, why do so many clubs want him so bad then? ur sayin we should let him go for pennys when we won't!! we don't need to sell anybody! were in a very good financial position, and nobody has gone out saying they want to leave apart from o'hara saying he has no intrest in playing in the championship, so all u jokers DO 1!!£3m for Dunk.....where do you want him delivered, I'll drive him there myself.Some fair points above from Wolves posters but what you need to remember is that Saints have a ton of experience in selling on quality players.
Desire to sell? necessity to sell? These are basically completely irrelevant in this scenario. In this situation the player is king(rightly or wrongly) and if he decides he wants to play either for a bigger club or in a higher league then he's a goner. The club won't hold out for silly money like 10 mill if he is determined to go. Decent player but he is not worth that and you are being fairly generous in labelling him an England international. He may have caps. It he is currently nowhere near the England set up!Haha Jarvis for £10m no thanksI'm a Wolves fan and although i fully expect Jarvis to leave the club this summer as its clear his a player far better than the Championship status the club now holds i just wish fans of other clubs i.e. Southampton would be slightly more respectful and realise there is no way he will leave for 4 million and that his worth is far more than that. Also i personally think that once one club makes a definitive move for him we could see 2 or 3 join the bidding

I've just heard from a usually reliable source who is close to one of the joint Chairmen at Bradford City that a new investor is to be announced within the next few days. The final detail on the arrangements is currently being agreed. Forget about anybody from the Middle East however, the new investor is Scottish with previous links to the club in a non-playing capacity. According to the source, he is a self-made man with extensive business experience and will combine his role as an investor with an Executive role within the club. Only time will tell.(1)(10)Archie Christie? It will never happen, no one will be investing any time soon.Duncan Bannatyne? ;)Welcome back Gordon gibb!!

Oxford manager Chris Wilder has made a striker to challenge James Constable & Tom Craddock his main transfer targets.

Strikers linked -

Jon Shaw - Gateshead
Frank Nouble - Released by West Ham
Scott Rendell - Wycombe
Jon Parkin - Released by Cardiff
Robbie Hall - Season long loan from West Ham(9)(9)The only way you will get Scott Rendell back is if Stuart Beavon stays at Wycombe & we sign another striker - otherwise Rendell will remain a Wycombe player. He scored 19 goals the last time we were in League Two, so he won't be leaving.So why try to offload him to Oxford last seasonBecause we had Stuart Beavon, Ben Strevens, Paul Hayes, Marcello Trotta .... - He had a blip last season & fell out of favour. However we're limited in this position at the moment and Rendell is currently 1/3 strikers at the club concluding of top scorer Stuart Beavon on 25 goals, & youth striker Matt McClure. So he won't be going anywhere & we're under a transfer embargo so won't be signing anyone soon meaning he won't be leaving. If Beavon leaves Rendell will be our only striker with any experience. Plus go look at his comments on the BBC hes focused on Wycombe. Bye.You can keep rendell. We need people to score goals and he didn't with us..

Charlton Fans stop with the list of lower league team strikers that were 'going to sign'.

We are signing N'Gussen for £400k and any other strikers would have to be proven in the Championship at least, if not on loan from the premier league in order to start over BWP and Kermo.

I can't see many starting over Kermo but BWP needs to beef up to survive in the championship and convert his 1 on 1 chances.(5)(4)N'Guissen is dog poop!Both Quinn & Maguire would do well to come to Charlton and of course we would do Gr8 to buy them ,. they will know that we can easily go up with these players plus Zoko N Ngussen not to mention Beaven and Shaun WritePhillips,. Job Done !!We're not getting n'guessan, hes not good enough to push for a playoff place atleast^^ This comment is rubbish!£400k is presumably what Millwall are paying us to take him! He is awful and should never be a Championship player. I would like to think that our ambitions are higher than what he can do for us. Don't need that many new players as most of last years team can make us into a top half Championship side. Do agree that BWP needs to improve chances to goals ratio or risk losing his place.

Leeds fans- here's an update on the major investment that Leeds have been in talks about receiving.

Leeds United and Flamingo land have applied for joint permission to build a football themed theme park in the large car par area behind the West Stand. The complex will be known as Flamingo Park @ Elland Road Stadium.
Relocating the car park won't be a problem, as I understand that the club are initially expecting ticket sales to decline greatly next season, in part due to this controversial announcement.

The reasoning behind this is a potential niche in the market in the Leeds area for an in-city theme park, which is expected to generate enormous revenues for the club. My source also tried to suggest that as part of the deal, Leeds will play in pink away from home. Not sure if I believe this part of the rumour, but in fairness we haven't revealed our away kit yet so who knows?!(18)(4)Flamingo Land already sponsor the development squad so it sounds like the next logical step. Hows about an appearance of Meerkats at half time to create some interest?Should have lots of candidates for the wing!

(I presume this is a delayed post from April?)And gordon gibb the owner of flamingo land still owns the ground at valley parade.!
be careful you dont get stung by him.The reason the away kit has not been announced is because they are sticking with the black kit for next season. The rest of this rumour is complete nonsence

Chopper
MOTGreat just what we need another roller coaster ride!

Wolves have agreed a deal to sign lillestrom player bjorn bergmann sigurdarson
Sky sports news(18)(12)Is this sky sports news on the tv or the website? Couldn't see anything online.
Hope we get him, I guess he'll chat to us and everton now to see who'll offer him the best terms. hopefully stale can sway him!Theres nothing on sky sports news about it. would love it to happen thoughCardiff are interested and with a £100m investment we have a much better chance of signing him than youWouldn't put your shirt on it .....whatever colour it isSigardurson will sign for Wolves as he likes their manager. Reading bid £1 million with add ons for him but Lillestrom wanted £4 million up front which Reading weren't willing to match. Cardiff did bid for him but seems they didn't meet the valuation either.He's had medica today at cardiff so goodluck sherlockJust because Cardiff have money to spend doesnt mean they'll get him! Sigurdsson would prefer a move to Wolves simply because of the managerStale Solbakken is going to be a success he attracts the attention of Sigurdsonn so he will join us up the wolves

Stephen Quinn and young centre back Harry Maguire are thought to be in talks with Ipswich Town reprasentatives following a fee of around 2 million + clauses being ageed between the two clubs(11)(6)If you keep saying the same rumour on here it wil eventually come true! That is how it works, right?Quinn and maguire signing for ipswichQuinn and maguire set to complete moves for ipswichQuinn signing for coventry deal done 550K. Didn't like ipswich as a clubEveryone is obsessed with Quinn signing. However everyone if forgetting that's he's really not very good!Lol Quinn to Coventry! Mickey Quinn coming out of retirement is your only chance. All the best in league 1 ha ha haWould just like to say To the above, most people wouldn't regard Ipswich as much better than Coventry. You have an excessively rich owner Nd are just constantly (currently Anyway) in the shadow of your neighbours who are working off a tighter budget and performing a LOT better. Peterborough fan so not hating just saying..

Middlesbroughs interest in Koren deal seems to have hit a brick wall but chief scout Gary Gill spent Tuesday watching the Denmark u21 game, believed to be keeping an eye on Emil Larsen from Lyngby to add goals to the Boro midfield.(6)(0)Hope we do get him hes a beast check out youtube hes on 4 11mins haha must seeWas a star performer in Lyngby's set up this season and looks set for big things, think Boro need to act fast but transfer fee may be a stumbling block. It's widely expected there will need to be a sale or two to add quality of depth to the squad.

More when i have itThanks for this post! Exactly what we need if this is true!Great player UTB

If he leaves Bradford it will be for a club back down south in the football leagueOliver is leaving Bradford thats why signed 2 centre backs as first choice. See YaOliver will go back down south if he goes anywhere and stockport are welcome to williams and hannah, a good goal scorer in lower leagues but nothing better, his profile has been made better with being at city, get used to the lower leagues ross, thats where you belongNahki is still in BermudaNakki is not in bermuda, FACT, he will also still be at bradford for next season, FACT

Bournemouth are gonna let marc Pugh go to burnley in a swap deal for seb Hines plus 500k(1)(16)Who's seb hines ? think youll find its Zavon and he won't be going anywhere.I don't think so Hines was shocking only scored from a keeper mistake at shef utd plus we have 7 strikers at moment I heard stock and Addison are nextI dont think they would let him go, and if this is the hine who came to us on loan then no thanks, not impressiveThe Hines Burnley have is Zavon Hines not Seb. I think Hines could possibly have a future at Burnley - just needs some extended first team time. Is Pugh actually ready to play up a level?Marc Pugh goin to birmingham not burnley look on birmingham rumour page and that's from Birmingham fans apparently wade Elliot coming to afc Bournemouth with cash for Pugh so we have to wait and seeWe do not want Hines back - we have more than enough strikers, and he only scored one lucky goal for us while on loan.Zeb hines plays for M'boro.Burnley arnt intrested in pughDont you mean zavon hines .Birmingham dont have a manager so Pugh cant be going there , plus Wade Elliot`s on to much for money for Bournmouth to afford ...Dont want Elliot we will be keeping Pugh and be a championship side next season. If not you can have Pugh then

IM a charlton fan here
there is a rumour going around that
we are very intrested in two off your
players Quinn and Maguire. I personaly
think these players r gr8 and if we got
them and zoko and ngussen ill be happy.

i want to no wat u united fans think
thanks
kaylem1300(2)(14)Maguire won't come to you he'll go premier league and we'll want 3.5 million to match newcastles offer. It would be a shame to lose quinn and he will leave as he is quality and too good for league one, I wouldn't settle for anything less that 750K and I don't think McCabe of Wilson will. Quinn will go whether he goes to you is a different matterThey are both overatedMaguire's top quality for a 19-year old and can go all the way, but Newcastle haven't tabled a bid.

Quinn - likely to be Ipswich-bound, with Blackpool next in line3.5 million is a joke he's a good player but you're in financial problems so 1 or 1.5 million at maxMaguire has a turning circle like the Ark Royal; worth 250k max. Probably about the same for ferret features

Striker scott mcgeish is also in talks with the grecians.(2)(7)Baldwin has been released and we haven't decided on Barker's future yet. Baldwin is probably true but I expect Barker to stay with us but I wouldn't be surprised if he left.Barker is still in discussions with Southend over a new contract, your welcome to Baldwin he is utter gash!Yes the two Southend players should be sign for Exeter early next weeK, i am a Southend supporterIt's not really a raid they are both utter ste, both too old and slow, your welcome to themBaldwin was pure class for Exeter in LEAGUE 1

Jay Rodriguez. £7,000,000(16)(25)These would be great. I'd be pleased if we nailed 50% of them to be fair. Not sure about Whitbread, the rest would be great signings. We do need 7 or 8 signings.I agree with all of them they would be great aquisitions and are all realisticI'd prefer someone like Lewis Dunk or Harry Maguire instead of Zak Whitbread

Newcastle fan here, rumour is you are sniffing around Leon Best. Lets put it this way,he is far superior to Hooper and would be a fantastic signing for you. Maybe lacks a bit of pace but heading good,skill good,finishing excellent. Works very hard for 90 mins too. Been unlucky at Toon due to Ba and Cisse but check out his goals per game when he got the chance.(5)(17)Hooper is twice no 4x as good as leon best saints fan

QPR could make a 12.8mill Bid for French Star, Oliver Giroud(11)(20)Far Far too good for QPR. Considering he would be guranteed CL football at Montpellier, or clubs in Europe such as Wolfsburg, Newcastle & Arsenal after him. Deluded club, deluded fans.That should read QPR HAVE made a formal bid - factThere is no way he would go to QPR and also judging by his club's valuation, he'd cost about twice that as wellWould be a brilliant addition to many big clubs,would be a amazing addition to QPR who really do seem to have the right owners in place who seem to have great ambitions for the club and not just for the time being but a club for the future what with new training ground and stadium plans,sickens me to say this being a fulham fan,but they really do seem to be on the up,have to give credit where its due.Hardly a deluded club, this states QPR 'could make a 12.8mill bid' there is nowhere in this sentance stating that the bid has been confirmed, rejected or accepted, it is a rumour, I agree that he wouldn't go to QPR but there is no need for calling QPR, and their fans deluded.People saying that these types of player would never go to QPR are wrong, look at Man City before the money came in, they were nobodys yet somehow managed to sign top top quality players, money is a massive driving force in football and QPR are going places in the future, I for one could see some big money moves for QPR in the future, not right now I don't think, but in the future, maybe 3 or 4 years from now the fees could rise to the £5M-£12M mark as an average.Agree that it is unlikely that Giroud would come to Loftus Road but the owners are VERY ambitious and QPR may well sign some players this summer that will raise a few eyebrows.Sounds like a gooner moaning about QPR probably just upset at their own lack of spending. Although giroud will most probably end up at a champions league club but why shouldn't a club with ambition aim highThis is more of a statement of intent by tony fernandes than a real chance of a signing

Sheffield United agree package with chesterfield for goalkeeper Tommy Lee but can't agree on a fee Sheffield United are willing to stump up £300,000 for the Spireites number 1 but chesterfield want £600,000(5)(6)How the hell can you say they agree a package but not a fee. Thats the same thing surelyTommy cannot talk to Sheff U and agree a contract package while under contract with Chesterfield. Chesterfield need to agree a fee first so sounds doubtfulTommy has been give perimssion to talk
to Sheffield United and has a 3 year contract
on the table the only stumbling block is both
clubs can't agree feeLees got to be worth at least £500 kAnyone but them !!Lee is defo worth 500k. Dont think he should go sheff utd hes better than that maybe a birmingham class. but i have heared lee is linked with crystal palace.Lee has had no offers from sheffield united only leeds. the other week we he was surposed to been seen outside the ground was bollox as he was in mexico. the only clubs gone for him are charlton which he doesnt want to move down south and leed united but doesnt want to go as he is a manchester united fan and this is from him so stop these silly rumours!

Millwall are in advanced talks to sign doncaster midfielder James Coppinger- should be done on Monday(8)(9)No chance!We don't need anymore midfieldersWe do need another midfielder as racon and mkandwire are still injured and trotter not certain to stay.we also want montgomery from sheffield unitedCant see this happening!But who knows!?Also heard this,think it may happen some time this week.No chance Kenny Jackett would be interested. We already have Henry, Feeney and now Taylor who can play on the right wing, and also when Racon gets fit can also play out wide.Millwall are confident that Mkandawire and Racon will both be fit for the start of pre-season training. This will be provide Abdou, Wright and Trotter. No need to sign any CMs unless neither player can prove their fitness.

Ipswich to sign James Coppinger from Doncaster(7)(6)Rubbish. Moving to Peterborough. Saw him outside London road today so expect p'boro to unveil him within the next 3 daysMakes sense. Quality player.Cheers, this has reminded of last summer ;) COYBYour so wrong mate coppinger was wanted last year by ipswich but not now get your fact straightI'm not a Peterborough fan but I've heard a lot about their 'youth' ethos they are supposedly adopting. Can't see them going for someone as old as Coppinger.Ipswich ruled out a move for Coppinger after we played them on the last day of last season, so that one aint happening. I think he will end up at a high Championship club or will show his loyalty and stay put.Im sure you saw coppinger outside london road :L

Swindon town are to sign Luke Varney, Ashley westwood and Simon Church before the end of the day(5)(20)Church is worth 2 million + so not a hope in hell of Swindon signing himHaha heard Messi and ronaldos agents were seen at swindon too! Di Canio is the only big name striker you will ever seeChurch is championship player wont go lower and Varney will sign for wiganWhere do you get all of these bad rumoursHandbags -just go and worry about your own club and be prepared for STFC to hit the gorund running as we are going to surprise teams this season and idiots like you with comments about Di Canio being the only striker.HOT OFF THE PRESS: barcelona to become a feeder club for swindon town! i know this is a rumour site but some swindon fans need a bit of a reality check.HOT OFF THE PRESS idiot: Just because someone quotes Swindon doesn't necessarily mean it was a Swindon fan who quoted it. There are a lot of jealous fans on here.

Now get your facts right or just comment on your own club (assuming your club is worth a mention)We don't have crap players at this clubI have news for you..A lot of these rumours concerning Siwndon don't come from Swindon fans, A lot of them come from fans from clubs such as Oxford on a wind up, It is understandable though...they have nothing to of any importance going on at their 3 sided library for them to get involved with. A lot of them are also secret Swindon fans and can't help but show it with their obsession with us. If you look at the Swindon press and the Swindon Forums you will see that these players are not mentioned at all....it's easy to post something and then come back on and make a statement such as you have....crawl back under your rock and wait for some more news from your own club....I'm sure some more of your players will be leaving soon.All signed up now are they? Good boys

Get him off the wage bill please!!He better be goodHe does have some talent, can be very good from set pieces (especially from around the edge of the box), But he is so annoying...one minute he will play a great pass to set someone up, the next he will ghost past a player as if he's not there....then for the next 80 minutes you may as well have only 10 players on the park!! He is very lazy and worse still he has a horrible disposition!! He is cocky and arrogant (Which I have personally witnessed). The sooner he is gone the better....you really would be doing everyone connected to Swindon a favour!Is this kerrouche or Di Canio your talking about?Kerrouche is on a 20 a day ciggy diet! Do one!

Manchester Utd have had a £25 million bid rejected for Tottenham starlet Luka Modric and therefore will not return with another bid.

Swansea have approached ex Barcelona and Denmark legend Michael Laudrup about the vacant managerial position at the Liberty Stadium.

Swansea have also beaten Liverpool to the signing of Icelandic Hoffenheim midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson for a fee of £6.8 million. This will be confirmed in the next few days along with Laudrup.

Norwich will sign Leeds contract rebel Robert Snodgrass for a fee of £4.7 million. Norwich have also expressed interest in Birmingham duo Curtis Davies and Chris Burke.

Youssuf Mulumbu and Jonas Olsson will leave West Brom this season as they want to work with an experienced manager and have respect for Steve Clarke, but will leave for Tottenham and Stoke City respectively(11)(25)Moyes is very keen to talk with olson before he makes any move, not saying a deal is in place !To right 25mil rejected as spurs rejected a 40mil offer from Chelski few months ago but levy has stated he will listen to offers around 42mil plusYou talk st. Gylfi already came out and said the deal for him to go to Swansea is off and he will not go thereJonas Olsson wouldn't join Stoke City after the eye-gauge from Crouch during last seasonSig will go with rodgers, not swansea, unfortunately.Modric a starlet ?£4.7m for a player who has 1 year left on his contract, and has yet to play in the premier league, is ridiculous.

£3-3.5m is more like the necessary feeGylfi did not CONFIRM that his deal was off. He said it is more than unlikely due to the uncertainty surrounding the club. Now with the likes of Laudrup, Bergkamp and Desailly all being linked with the club who are all inspirational figures wherever you are from, the likelyhood of him signing for the Swans had increased4.7mil for snodgrass with 6 months left on his contract"Jonas Olsson wouldn't join Stoke City after the eye-gauge from Crouch during last season" I'd love to know how you are so aware of a players personal feelings? If every player who'd ever been fouled didn't move to that club no transfers would happen. No put your dummy back in and go to bed.Im sorry but are you having a laugh 42 mill plus for modric,ha.how many did he score and assist last couple of seasons.not many is the answer.i dont even support any of the teams linked with him so i dont really care but come on who would pay that for him.£2m for SnoddyWhy would Olsson make the step down to join Stoke? Also he's got a good left foot and like to come forward and play the ball, ON THE FLOOR. Therefore not suited for StokeOlson would not go to stoke as he said that he want to go to a big club and considering west brom finished above stoke last season, I don't think so...West Brom actually beat Stoke for the first time since about 1805 and suddenly they're a big club :-) Don't think it would take too much tempting IF Stoke want him.It has been confirmed that Jonas Olsson will be staying at west bromwich albion. he will sign a new 3 year contract once the european championships are finished. also Mulumbu and Odemwingie will stay and see what Steve Clarke has to offer. if they are unhappy then they will both leave in JanuaryCan see West Brom going down next seasonOlson is a poor player - should have been sent off against us last year for kicking Vaughan in the face. He also caught the ball like Michael Jordan when we were through on goal. Gash player but probably perfect for Stoke.If your talking about the Vaughan from Norwich it was Gabriel tamas who elbowed himOlly is a beast!!

He won't be going to Stokers cause he's said he wants to compete for trophies...to do that he'll have to join a better team than Stoke in the prem or move away from the EPL which I personally can't see him doing!Where is all this money gona come frm 4 players? whn you couldnt afford 2 pay blues £2-million compo 4 Chris Hughton?Chopper Ollson 2 Stoke.He simply wouldn't get in the Stoke side unless Huth was to leaveGet your facts right pal, Albion pulled out of the Hughton deal because they were told its Hughton or Foster, not both

Former player Jason Gavin is to resign at Bradford City to help cover for the loss of Luke Oliver who is set to sign for Wycombe.(1)(4)Biggest joke of the season, gavin was woeful last time thats why we got ridWe have never Jason Gavin at Bradford before. It is the case that Oliver is looking to return South thoughGood luck bully, thats all i can say, we should of kept him for cover for versatility, least he will save fuel for travelling less miles for trainingIf Jason Gavin re-signs for City I'm sending my season ticket back to the club after using it to wipe my backside!Gavin did play for City between 2003-05. He was shocking. Are you too young to remember?No - I've been following city for a lot of years - He obviously made an impression which says it all! Thanks for the update

Phili Parkinson is hoping to improve on last seasons above average second half of the season home form by adding Hargreaves as a holding midfielder to help continue the run of 1 defeat at home in 14 games at the expense of winning games.(2)(3)This a Bradford rumour because it sounds spot on.

Derby County News Update

Michael Jacobs will be joing derby after he confessed to Local Papers/people that he will be leaving for derby.

Krystian Pearce is transfer listed at 135k derby have offered 120k

Derby have offered a contract to Karleigh Osbourne who has also recieved contracts from Charlton and Nottingham Forest

Paul dixon will unlikely be signing for the rams after his contract demands proofed to much for what we would offer him
so he will be poised to sign for Bristol city should no-one else make contact.

Therefore derby have stepped up their chase on Joe mattock who is free after his release from west brom
but derby face competiton from Brighton/Sheffield wednesday who are keen on him.

Targets who will be bidded for later on are

Daniel Powell
Fegor Ogude
Andrew tutte
Ashley Westwood
Johnny Russell
Will GriggTrials will be on as normal to the Public but derby have given 9 youngsters trials after their release from clubs.
5 of them used to apply their trade in france one being well known Striker Yannis Tafer after his release from OL
Frank Nouble and Nigel Hasselbienk have also been offered trials.

As far as Transfers going out


Steve davies and James Bailey are the the subject of a 2.5 million bid made by Burnley after the jay rod deal has gone
through.They will replace the missing Jay rod and Dean Marney.

Coventry and Bristol City have enquired about Miles Addison

Watford,Sheffield Wednesday and Dundee united have Enquired about Striker Chris Maguire.The First two had bids Rejected.

Nigel wants to use chris + cash to get a decent striker with his main focus towards Johnny Russell.Especially with them
interested in chris.

Derby county will not be buying anyone over the age of 25 but might get a old free transfer for experience.As derby still want
keep their policy of bringing in Youth Players with Will Hughes to play cover for Hendrick and Bryson.I will give another update on Monday when i heard Derby will approach Mk dons about Daniel powell which i have been told by people involed
that Ben davies will be involed.If that Fails They will try getting Jon Taylor.As Shrewsbury want ben davies.

Please Reply if you have any Information.

Thank you(6)(12)Are you the same sad case, who used to go on and on about southampton signing everyone last year , but only got it right about 2% of the time. If so, i cant wait for the school holidays to finishAnother one of the French players offered a trial is midfielder Thomas Pechart who has been released by MarseilleWhat is it with derby fans think there signing the world saying what a big club they are but apparently get out bid by city for Dixon makes me laughYes dcfcHow does that say we are signing everyone i only count 8 players there.
They are the same eight players that derby fans have been mentioning on here not like evry other club saying they are signing someone different every weekDerby are only looking to sell bailey maguire davies Addison and croft and buy 1 striker 1 winger and 1 centre back. also if they could afford dixons wages but Bristol city look in a better position. As a derby fan I realise we have a great history and facilities etc but money talks and so if bristol city offer more money why would you go derby.Mattock has gone to SWFCBecause derby has a better chance of getting promoted and Bristol look like they will be fighting to stay in the championshipJoe mattock has already signed for Sheffield Wednesday....

Leicester have set Burnley Striker Charlie Austin has the main target to play up front with Nugent and Vardy(4)(15)Jermaine beckford?No chance with Austin mateI wouldn't even swap Austin for that pile of crap.Austin was top striker last season behind Jay Rodriguez, now Jay has gone we dont need to get rid of him too. Austin wont be going anywhere

Alex cisak 99% certain to leave boundary park this summer. The news come's after oldham back up keeper dean bouzanis signed a new 12 month deal previously stating he wanted first team football(2)(2)We will sell Cisak as we always sell players and the money keeps the club going. AQs for Bouzanis he was going to sign anyway so another stupid comment.

rather than just write comments why not be a Oldham fan or even better give Dickov a phone and speak to him.

I heard that Leon Clark has been for a medical today down at Bradford City take it or leave it he been told(6)(11)Feel sorry for Bradford then. What a really poor attitude this man has. Lazy as they come, Argumentive and cocky. From the time he told Mick Mcarthy who he had better buy all the way to his argument with Paolo Di Canio he has been a disruptive force in the dressing room and looks for trouble. Don't expect much effort in training once the initial 'honeymoon' period is over.Can't see that happeningAs a BCFC board member I can tell you there is no truth in this one

Southampton FC are in discussions with Liverpool to sign Sebastian Coates in a season long loan deal. Also expect the Saints to confirm the signing of Jay Rodriguez to be confirmed on the Saints website within the next 72 hours. News also of a 3 year £20k contract offer for Danny Guthrie to break in the press soon.(11)(13)To indicate you would have a clue as to terms that Saints would offer to a player makes your post unbelievable-and your "news" about Rodriguez is at least 24hrs old!

Jordan Rhodes to Man Utd for 3.2mill and then to be loaned out. This is coming from htfc press team. Have you heard this ed?(5)(36)3.2mil plzzzzzzzzz we have turned down nearer 6mil already.He stated before the play-offs that he is staying with his current club if they got promoted, surely he won't go against his word?3.2 million, when everybody else is being quoted 8 million. Jog on son and make something else upHe ain't worth £3M at present let alone £8M, get real, he is still just a player who scored lots of goals at Div 1 level, he did nothing at Ipswich before he joined Huddersfield, so he will have to prove his worth at championship level before anyone in premier is going to shell out anything over £5M You canj ask what you like but no one is going to pay £8M at this stage.

Peterborough to sign Michael Owen and Craig Mackail Smith shortly.(3)(32)Dream onHAHA dont make me laugh. Owen is on about 50k a week. more than twice the limit for the championship

LJHSCMS is ste, Brighton fans will tell you, they got mugged when you sold himMichael owen to oldWell we have huntingdon racecourse down the road so that will sort Owens racing fix haha. As for the CMS is ste. No he isnt. Brighton play awful football kicking lumps out of players, which doesnt accomendate a pacy striker so its no wonder his scoring record is so badMacca doesnt suit brightons silly "dont we look special" style of football, you can pass the ball yes, but as of getting it to macca it is outwide, or hive it to him infront of the defence for him to get through, or over the top. Only way.

charlton are interested in bennett from Norwich. you heard it here first(3)(15)Why would he leave Norwich for the Championship?If benno goes down a league he will come home to BrightonMajor lie! Why would he go from Championship to Prem, then back to Champioship? And they wouldn't sell him for less than what they bought him for!Which Bennet are you talking about? Not that it matters as neither are for sale. Barnett on the other hand is out of his depth and will more than likely move on. Much more realistic for Charlton.Which one?............it doesn't really matter, you've no chance of signing either.You havnt
got the money to buy any bennett we paid 1.5 million for elliott 3million plus for ryan elliott would cost now 3 miilion ryan would cost you about 5 million dream on honeyYou must mean Albert BennettIm a charlton fan and i agree we wont sign these players, but we have mire money the norwich FACT!Elliot Bennett to Charlton!! Ha ha I've never heard so much rubbish, they can't afford his boot laces. He stepped up a couple of levels moving from Brighton to Norwich, why would he want to drop back down two or three to go to Charlton?? Smell the coffee!Like a previous posters says, I think you mean Barnett not Bennett

All Norwich News:
Chris Hughton has brought with him Colin Calderwood, Paul Trollop and Ewan Chester with him in a £2m compensation package. They will also bring with him goalkeeper coach Dave Watson to work with promising keepers Jed Steer and Declan Rudd. Grant Holt will have a meeting with Hughton and it is believed he is excited about Hughton's reign. Hughton said in his press conference that he knew a lot about Grant and he was very keen to keep him at the club. It is believed that he will be offered a new contract to make him highest played player once again. As for transfers it looks extremely likely that Birmingham want to sell their prize assets to raise funds for the new manager. Hughton will go back and sign Curtis Davies and young talented Nathan Redmond for a combined £6m+Chris Martin. Hughton knows the better players in the championship so will hope to bring in a few of them and a few that the club have requested. Targets are: Zaha, Clyne, Naughton, Pacheco, Lansbury, Snodgrass, Powell and others. This is from a very close source to David McNally so expect a fair few of these to be signed up by our new manager. Naughton, Lansbury, Pacheco are all wanted by the club so Hughton's first task will be to snap them up as well as his own targets as quickly as possible.(15)(17)If you think that norwich are going to cherry pick our best players for peanuts you had better think again farmboy.Hope so!:DBirmingham need to sell, bottom line is that clubs will offer least amount to secure transfers, so don't bet on Birmingham holding out for bigger money and risk losing a sale,. they will almost certainly be selling a few over transfer window.Dave Watson is not going anywhereIsn't Powell off to united?

 


08 Jun 2012 10:50:08
Paul Jewell is due to have talks with 3 East European central defenders in the next week or so. Hungarians Debreceni (from Honved) and Szabo (from Paksi SF) would cost minimal amounts and could form a good partnership for years to come as they're both only in their early 20s. If either of these don't sign he'll look at Klein, the man-mountain Czech central defender currently playing at Ferencvaros, who may cost more but brings more experience. COYB(3)(2)Wot a load of bs

Anyone heard anymore on Sigurdarson? If Stale could get him in I would be optimistic for next season!(2)(8)He had verbally agreed a 6.8m move to swansea, but that was before Rodgers went to Liverpool. Rodgers has stated he is keen on bringing him to Liverpool, as the main reason he signed for swansea was because of Brendan Rodgers, just like when he signed him for Reading. source BBC websiteHe's talking about Bjorn S not Gylffi S!

 


08 Jun 2012 10:28:58
Lee Cook to sign for Charlton after a successful loan and subsequently being released by QPR providing cover in LM for injury prone Jackson who will be preferred in a CM role next season.(6)(1)Cook is one of the best crosser's of the ball outside the PL but fitness is an issueWhen he was with us he and Wiggins had a great understanding down the left flank, Jackson is short of pace and often looks to cut into a CM role, I also think we need a young LM with lots of energy whats happening with the development of Evina? I know he is a LB but has played LM!

Southamptons possible in; Jack butland 3.5m, Nathan clyne 3.5m, matthew upsin free, Curtis davis 3m, matt Jarvis 4m, Tom ince 3m, Danny guthrie free, Nigel Reo-Coker free and jay rodriguez 7m gary hooper 7m not all these will happen but these are our targets             Southampton possible outs; Barnard 400k, Holmes 140k, Do Pardo 1.2m and expect to see sum youngster leave on loan (11)(21)Apologies to all supporters, at all clubs-this guy needs to learn to spell and also get to know what he is talking about. He has no idea who Saints are after-apart from Rodriguez-and all the targets are from press speculation. The level of this "rumour" can be summed up by the nonsense about Holmes-he has gone some while ago on a free to PNE.
Be glad when the kids are back at school.Jarvis for £4M?? PMSLHow much money do you think you have?Concidering were owned by a rich family....millions. and we just got promoted to the prem....millions ££££Looks like Curtis Davies will follow Hughton to Norwich who are also rumoured to be interested in Guthrie. Could be a bit of a battle for his signature, but ties with Hughton could play a big part in the outcome.Quite a bit considering we're bidding for 7million quid players, a billionaires estate and 90 million from Premier league. Sounds quite a bit to me! {Ed001's Note - you don't get 90m from the Premier League. That so called 90m is the amount of TV money, plus prize money for finishing bottom and the parachute payments you would receive, if you were to get relegated. So you will get at least 90m, but it is over a number of years!}Once again fans of other clubs cluelessly weighing about saints. Wise up. We have very wealthy owners. We are not going to spend like City or Chelsea but we have a long term vision and the capability to spend what is needed. We have a shrewd Manager and even shrewder chairman but this kind of expenditure is by no means beyond us.

Big breaking news to come out of Molinuex in the next 48hrs. Wolves are to appoint former boss Glenn Hoddle as there new Director of Football. I'm hearing that Hoddle is looking to move his Spanish Football Academy over to England and sees Compton Park as the ideal site. He has apparently approached Wolves about siteing the Academy there and taking on the D of F role without a wage involved. Steve Morgan is said to be very keen on the idea although he was not around when Hoddle bought the club to it's knees 6 years ago. This will also show how the role of Jez Moxey is becoming less and less influential as he is said to be totally against the idea. This will be announced in the next 2/3 days.(4)(20)The funding for the GHA in Spain dried up a while back and then ended up financially crippling the Spanish club he 'partnered' with. He's been dabbling with Arabia and South Africa, but is effectively being used by the locals as a 'name' to draw in punters to their soccer schools. He's been hawking his academy around various clubs trying get them bankroll it since last year, with no takers.It's already in England?1 thing i can say about starts in f n end in off the bloke wouldnt make to the front door typical albion fanMore importantly it looks as if Zeli Ishmail is attracting interest from some of the bigger clubs and only a year left on his current contract.
Hoddles academy venture has not been a particular successBigger clubs whu fulham n qpr ? agent talk

1 - No chance we sell another striker
2 - No chance we settle for about same as we paid / even less
3 - No chance we accept St Ledger, we didn't want him when at PrestonBut he doesn't come from Hull or Man U! Meaning Pearson is probably not interested.With Burnley rejecting the bid minutes later2m wouldnt get you Charlies left toe.No chance, Double it then maybe. UTCBambas and Mills leaving Leicester. No chance St.Ledger will also be departing

I am hearing that the Stockport Manager is hoping to bring in one of his former signings to Edgeley Park. Paul Turnbull has been rumoured quite often in the past, but sources tell me he wants to sign Tom Pope, his first signing when the boss of Port Vale. I also hear that Oldham, Macclesfield and Rochdale also interested in Tom.(3)(6)Paul would be a fantastic signing for county as he is a stockport lad through and throughDon't think Oldham will want him.Where do you get this bull from about tom pope,LET ME MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR YOU,NOT REPORTS FROM ANY OF THE PAPERS,THIS INFO HAS COME OF THE OF VALE WEBB SITE,TOM POPE HAS SIGNED A 12MONTH CONTRACT

CHRIS THESE PEOPLE ON HERE WANT SHOOTING "GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT GUYS"I'm a vale fan and no way Tom pope is good enough for any of those teams and he's already agreed a contract at vale

I have it on very good authority that Paul Lamberts first signing will be Russell Martin from his old club Norwich. He has taken Russell with him wherever he has gone, and sees him as the perfect captain to cover for Petrov.

Source: Russell Martins uncle(5)(25)He hasnt taken him everywhere hes been, he signed him for the first time at Norwich from Peterboro, a club he has never managed.He hasn't though has heRuss Martin's uncle lives next to me in Sussex! Just phoned to ask. 100% untrue said russ loved Norwich.He wants a right back to cover for a central midfielder?£10m and you can have him lolWhat are you on about? He plays right back/centre back, not defensive midfield! And it's a laughable source.No he wontTaken him everywere? Wow your stupid, so Lambert managed peterbrough? No Russell will be staying. Grant holt can leaVe now no point of him being here. If rumours about six mil for him are true I would drive him to that club willing to pay 6 mil for a player who will be 32 this season.Just signed a new contract in the last hour. On official Norwich website. Thats this rumour done.He's signed a new 3 year deal at Norwich did his uncle tell you that. On official site.Russell martin has signed a contract to 2015

source:ncfc websiteHe hasnt taken him wherever he has gone he signed him from Peterborough in his 2nd season with Norwich
And Lambert was from ColchesterNice info Uncle Martin - he signed a new 3yr contract with Norwich today (08/06/12)He just signed a new contract at Norwich to stay until 2015 so utter BS

And he did it on the same day this was posted just to show wrong it isRussell Martin has just signed a new three year contract with Norwich and stated that his family are well settled and love it in Norfolk. So much for this rumour. {Ed015's Note - Some more good news for Norwich fans.}Hes just signed a new contract, so thats a load of bullLooks unlikely as he just signed a new 3 year dealRiss Martin has just signed a new 3 year contract extension with Norwich, doubt that is going to happen.He's just signed a 3 year deal...I have it on very, very good authority that he's just signed a new contract to keep him with us until 2015. Source: Official website (the truth).Need cover for Petrov? Try signing a centre midfielder then...Shame he's just signed a 3 year deal then......Russell Martin has just signed a new 3 year contract with NCFC. Source canaries.co.uk.Oh dear. It was just officially confirmed he signed a three year deal with Norwich TODAY! Think your very good authority maybe isn't so good after all!No because Russell Martin literally just signed a new contract he's "delighted" with. Your source is wrongWell that's rubbish because Russell Martin plays a a RB/CB and Petrov is a holding midfielder. If he is going (which i doubt Norwich and Hughton will allow because there is no other EPL standard RB in the squad) then it wouldn't be for coverTotal bs. Russ has just signed a 3 year contract..i dont really think you know his uncle.jog on small childWrong on both counts:

1) Martin just signed new 3 year contract at Norwich, so I guess that "potential" move is scuppered :)

2) Martin came from Peterborough, so therefore he could not have been taken along by Lambert from Colchester!

Note to Author: must do better and do homework first.To give you a 100% truthful answer, russ martin has today signed a new 3-year deal keeping him at the club until 2015. he is very committed to ncfc and is a fan favourite

source: bbc sportHe'll pay a handsome price as Russell Martin has just signed a new 3 year deal with Norwich. OTBC!I just had a word with russ martins nan and she said the only place he's going is down the chippy for her tea. He's staying put.

new norwich manager chris hughton looking at bringing
in six new players and trying to get holt to stay will be given 20 million to spent

transfer targets are
curtis davies and chris burke from birmingham for 5m
michu vallecano 2.5m good player
matthew briggs fulham 1.5m naughton replacment
leon best newcastle 2m maybe holt replacment
scott sinclair swansea 4.5m(15)(20)No chance of getting them for those prices.Hang on a minute Where is this money you are spending coming from? your ten million in doubt and didn't get much for Lambert the most Hughton is going to be able to spend is 10-12 million at the most and Michu will not be going to Norwich infact this is who you would like to see come to the club they arn't realistic targets and Michu is rated at 4 million and apparently every club wants him :LHughton won't get £20 million to spend. I'd bet my kidney on it.Would love Scott Sinclair!A couple of these look pretty likely, but you're valuations are a bit low, doubt swansea would let sinclair go for thatMatty Briggs might go to you on loan - but will not be sold for peanuts - will challenge Riise for first team place this seasonRedmondNo way is Jol going to let Briggs go, stupid transfer rumourWe won't get Sinclair we'll get RedmondI'm hoping one of the posters is heading for a hospital for that kidney transplant. NCFC CEO David Mcnally has stated Hughton will have the most financial freedom in the clubs history. last season Lambert spent 15M... so 20M is very, very likely.Sinclair would never go to norwich there rubbish!Matthew Briggs will only leave Fulham on loan, if it wasn't for John Arne Riise's superb form in the second half of the season he would have got more time on the field. He's one of our biggest prospects.

Scott Sinclair would cost more than £4.5m, he's young, English and an attacking player. He will cost £7m MINIMUM.Sinclair looks unlikely for 4.5. think Norwich would spend a max on 5.5 on him, and if that didn't work out they would put the money towards Snoddy from Leeds. seeing as he is on his last year of contract, and wants to come, 4.5 would be the max cost for him.

Albion to appoint Steve Clarke today... Great appointment! Boing Boing!(19)(13)It has now been confirmed officially that Clarke has got the job,I know he is probably not the fans choice but you can trust he will get the full backing of ALL the fans,this you can guarentee ,it is now time for the chairman to give Steve Clarke his FULL backig also in the guise of loosening the purse strings to allow the new man to move the club on.
Good luck steve, ithink you are going to need bucket loads with likes of Peace looking over your shouder.

Blackpool are already in talks to replace wonga as sponsors with numerous companies.
one of the companies is a french company called Paris National Enterprises.
If the deal does go ahead this will
outrage seaside supporters.
The first 3 initials spell PNE.
which is Blackpool rivals Preston North
End.
Although the deal could net Blackpool
£600k per year in a 3 year contract(16)(15)Hilarious!Prob not true, but would love it to see PNE on the lashers shirts lolThat's hilarious! Completely made up, but very funny. As a Preston fan I expect that this rumour was posted by one of my fellow fans just to wind up the Blackpool supporters!Spose when youre only pullin in 6k crowds youll need the extra cash. That's if Karl and the latvian havent put it as a down payment on a holiday villa. Like annoying little dogs tryin to hump our legs...Blackpool fans don't particuly care who is sponsering us as long as they are putting money into the club, anyway the Wonga deal is good for another season.Had a season ticket last season will not watch the dross that westley produced ever again , the signings are average players , why has he suddenly decided bailey wright is any good the man id a foolPeter Kay eat your heart out! I laughed so hard my head nearly fell off.Why would anyone be interested in this...6k crowds even though we've already sold 9.5k season tickets? OK...PNE the bigger clubLeague 1 all needs sayingPne crap. 6K crowds? after the corner stand completion it's 17,500. get your facts right before posting st nobber.9800 season tickets sold. more than PNE, T'rovers, Notlob, Bumley etc and not the cheapest either......bought mine and my lads yesterday £615 in total......Problem with that is the company would be called " Entreprise National de Paris "Blackpool have only sold 9,000 season tickets because if fans bought them when they were 1 game away from the Premier league they would get a Premier league season ticket for the price of a Championship ticket. 9,000 season tickets is actually a very poor showing in this context. Very poor indeed. Nearly 6,000 sold in League One however, is excellent.9000 tickets so what if its 900 look are last few seasons most teams are jelous as hell who cares how many come through the gates,bradford get more than most teams out side the prem and look at their position.Theres a big differemce between preston,bradford and Blackpool, regardless of the amount of fans.
One of the teams is a recent premier league team thats not far off being back there. The other two are teams that were once of a decent standard but now ply their trade in the lower leagues dreaming of years gone by.I am sure sad old Preston fans would love to see their club initials on shirts playing quality football and challenging for a place in the Premiership . Dream on you sad PNE losersHaha, i'm just waiting for the mass exodus of blackpool players realising they ain't all that, and for the inevitable nose dive down the league. then we'll see how many loyal bpool fans there are. not many i'm guessing.

Championship side Brighton and Hove Albion have allegedly signed former Manchester United keeper Tomasz Kuszczak on a three-year deal, subject to a medical.

The 30-year-old was a free agent having been released by United after five years at the club.

The Poland international spent the second half of last season on-loan at Watford, after finding himself fourth in the Old Trafford pecking order behind David De Gea, Anders Lindergaard and Ben Amos.

Fellow Championship side Ipswich were also thought to be interested in the former West Brom stopper, however Kuszczak has allegedly been sighted at The Seagulls’ Amex Stadium in the past few weeks.

It’s believed he was sneaked into the ground by club officials last Friday for contract negotiations, and will be receiving a medical within the next few days with an announcement from the club expected soon.

The south-coast outfit were also favourites to sign defender Joe Mattock.

The 22-year old impressed on his loan spell from West Brom in the second half of the season, however he now looks set to join Sheffield Wednesday.

The club have also allegedly been in talks with Millwall’s highly sought after Liam Trotter as a replacement for Alan Navarro in the centre of midfield.

Boss Gus Poyet is also belived to be tracking former Manchester City winger Gai Assulin and Alan Judge of League One Notts County.(17)(17)No he isnt, if he was to stay in championship it will be with watford but he will most likley be going back to west brom as is not going thereGus is still in Uruguay, and i honestly think he would be setting his sights a little higher than Kuszczak. Ok, he was at United and a decent keeper in the past, but he didnt exactly set the the world alight when at Watford - seemed to be of a similar 'clown' keeper as Brezovan and Ankergren. Knowing Gus, he would prefer a younger keeper to take us forward, not one for a couple of years.
Also - Liam Trotter, seriously. Whoever is posting this nonsense needs to get real - i am an ardent Brighton fan, but Trotters expectations will be higher than us.
Assulin - sorry, didnt impress me (and many others) when he was here. The one main thing we lacked last season was strength all over the park - why go for another lightweight??
So many rumours, none of which will come to fruition until Gus is back. I know there are other forms of communication, but he is hands-on and wouldnt agree to anything until he has met the players. Nothing will happen for a week, as he has stated himself in the Argus this week.Brighton fans get it into your head liam trotter is not going to your club he is staying at millwallJust waiting for Brighton fans to tell us he is the best stopper in the league LOOOOL.None of this is true, he is signing for ITFC reliable sourcesHahah. Kuszczak is in talks with Mainz, and west brom why would he EVER choose brighton over them?Trotter wont go to brighton! hes happy where he is with a captaincy when robbos not there for us!Brighton do not kid yourselves, Kuszczak is was class whilst at Watford and can do better than Brighton. You have absolutely no chance of signing him...Trotter moving to brighton? really? firstly he is gonna cost atleast 1.5 mill maybe more, if anything he is likely to go to a prem side! im not even a millwall fan but dont beleive a word you've just said!Brighton have no chance of getting judge.Kuszczak was definitely at Brighton. 100% reliable source.this is correct (the kuszczak bit). He is very close to signing for Brighton (not watford, Mainz, west or any other clubs you have made up). Oh, and he is a very good keeper, just what Brighton need.Funny how he was 100% due to sign in the next 24 hours...That's funny as it's soon announced that he is to make a return to his former club west bromTrotter may well warm a premiership clubs bench before joining another championship club.But as for Kuszczak and Judge (not convinced about Judge) why would,nt they be interested in a club,who are obviously making efforts to climb the tables and not settle for mid-table mediocracy.ANY team with achievable ambitions is attractive to good players,and thats us.^ That's what almost every club thinks. Brighton aren't some special "above the rest" team.Trotter is worth 6millionNo trueNo way would trotter move to Brighton were better than you.
1 season in championship doesn't make you establish side

Brighton looking at Adrian Cieslewics from Wrexham! He's a rapid winger and only 21. Got bags of potential. Apparently joining up with Brighton from pre-season on trial. Lots of League 1 and 2 teams also expressing an interest but Adrian is only really interested in a move to the Championship otherwise he's happy to continue his development in Wales.

Source: I'm good friends with his brother.(10)(9)Was very good in the fa cup games against us but a lack of final delivery will mean he's never going to be a championship playerI bet you are!Good signing although he might have to start in the development squadI was very impressed when I saw him play against Brighton in the cup would be very happy if he signedApparently Brighton spoke to a few players after the cup games to say that they were really impressed and kept tabs on them for the rest of the season.

No promises have been made to Adrian and he is only going to train with Brighton for a couple of weeks during pre-season. No talk of even signing yet, just was suggested it would do him good to train with them for a bit.

Other clubs have been to watch him but no further contact with either him or Wrexham yet.

Liverpool have today asked Huddersfields permission to speak to Jordan Rhodes.(18)(33)Can see for the next few months it's going to be Brendan "Kiddy in a sweet shop" Rodgers being linked with every footballer under the sun to join his "project"...still think he's bitten off more than he can chew...he didn't revolutionise Swansea and bring in that style of play....Martinez did..Rodgers just carried it on if truth be known...let's see him introduce it at LiverpoolTotal rubbish. They have bigger targets on the go.Rhodes staying put! dont have to sell and contracted to 2015That's rubbish Jordan Rhodes is a town player and still be one at the start of the seasonNot much of a step up really! Liverpool are on a downward spiral.Paulo Sousa set it all up at Swansea along with Martinez, Sousa was responsible for them playing 4-3-3 and Rodgers carried this on. Rodgers struggled to introduce this formation to Watford & Reding...hence him failing and leaving!From Huddersfield to Liverpool a step down, good one!

 


08 Jun 2012 07:39:05
steve clarke to be appointed west brom manager,what a joke.can you see the likes of mulumbu,po,olson signing new deals for this bloke.what a joke peace why o why not pay the 2m to birmingham for houghton.to be outdone by a team of norwich citys calibre is a joke,still youve sold your season tickets for the year.i hope i eat humble pie at the end of next season but i carnt see it.Depressed bagggie fan {Ed013's Note - Steve is a good coach and will prove you wrong}(16)(7)As a Villa fan I can only sympathise with any team getting a manager the fans don't want. Still, people didn't give Pardew much hope did theyTeam of Norwich City's calibre....... they sell out every week, kept their support in the lower leagues and play good football, not that boring stuff that the baggies play.THere is a differance between manager and a coach ,after being a number 2 for 15 years amid table premiership club is not the place to take on your first job.imho, jeremiah scrooge as once again shafted the fans,somehow mr ed i cannot see your prediction of Clarke doing ok coming true ,i hope he proves me wrong but i dont think he will get alot of backing both financially or personal from peace to actually move the club forward. {Ed013's Note - Only time will tell mate, I have faith in him. Remember who he worked with}It's Albion fans like you that really embarrass me, give the bloke a chance, he's a fantastic coach and every manager needs to start somewhere... If those players don't want to play for us let em goI bet you have never seen the Baggies play except for the nanoseconds they show on motd, and as for your comments on Norwich you are probably one of the glory hunters who hang on to their coat tails from success in league 1 and the championship and could n,t even find your ae let alone carrow road before Norwich had any success.FFS Steve Clarke is a well respected coach and I welcome him as opposed to the usual list of serial failures, Bruce, Curbishley, Keane etc. Any player who wants to go can, who the hell do they think they are? Certainly not superstars that's for sure. That is one pathetic post fella, maybe you'd prefer to be a Dingle!A team of Norwich's calibre how many season ticket holders do you have?
Looking forward to crushing you again this coming season.I'd agree with above good coaches dont always make good managers.One of your ex managers you got rid of is currently a FA Cup and champions league winner who'd have thought that so maybe give Clarke a chance.Nah hel be alrite man, no where bear as bad as mcliesh and if they wana go let em, lambert do no better with that crock he got there, still be top team in mids come end of season, ;)Roberto di Matteo anybody. Who would have given him a chance before the Chelsea job and look at him now.
Are you saying that Hughton would definately have been a success and Clarke will definately fail?You are probably one of the fans who will support the club right down to the championship which is where the club is headed with a struggling season in the offing with once again very little financial help coming from the chairman and the usual mix of journeyman and one,s for the future coming in to the club,I just hope that Peace does at least have the good sense to sign Ben Foster otherwise next season could be baptism of fire for Clarke.NOT at our club he dont. DISASTER.Jose Mourinho quote: “If he had the chance to manage a club, even a big club like Chelsea, he would be ready for that. He is that good. He is an intelligent guy and always looking to improve. He is very open to co-operation and learning. He has a good relationship with the players, knows how to handle them. I think he is much, much better than many managers who are in charge of teams at the moment.â€

I think the Special One knows a lot more than us mere mortals. Get behind him.

AND FOR GODS SAKE IT'S HUGHTON NOT HOUGHTON!!!Some wba fans make me laugh clarke will do a awsome job and will keep playing the football the right way and will get good players you all keep going on about paying the 2m for c.m but what as he done nothing so i would be happy if i was you but you cant cuz you think that your better than you areWhat do you mean outdone by a team of norwich citys calibre, we are better than west brom, such a bigger club, fan base more passionate, just think youve outplayed your premiership stay as your just an average championship club and thats all you are !!Let's get it straight our fan base is similar to Norwich. We beat you once last season and finished higher than you. We played more attractive football than you did, you played direct football with two donkeys up front like you didJust goes to show how much of these muppets are arm chair fans Clarke doesn't get the players its ashworth who if people remember he found mulumbu odemwingie was the main player in getting long to the club Clarke is a quality coach everybody going on about hughton tell me what has he done cudnt get blues out of the championship stevie clarkes barmy armyTo the Norwich fan.. you lump it up to Holt! Have you not got eyes, the albions passing game is one of the best around..Last time i looked England was a democracy with freedom of speech so just because you dont agree with someone who thinks that Clarkes appointment is not the correct one for The Baggies dont come on all high and mighty saying how good he is, the game is all about opinions and if you dont agree with that maybe you should move somewhere more suitable to your way of thinking, like North Korea maybe ?Albion will be fine. They are a well run club like us who get my respect as a Norwich fan. Pathetic arguing with each other and we all hate Villa now so chill out! Steve Clarke isn't a bad choice the club know what they are doing!Norwich fan,how many football league clubs in a 40 mile radius of Norwich City ? How many football League clubs within a 40 mile radius of West Brom TOWN centre
thats why you have a HUGE fanbase ,you only have competition from Ipswich and sheep.Who ever wrote the comment four above your a clown. I'm a norwich fan and I like wba we are very similar to them. Your comment is disrespectful and we have only been in the prem one season. Wba have outstayed us . From a true fan and a fair one.Hi Ed i remember the last manager he worked with got the sack. Before that he worked with zola at west ham who also got the sack. will he hack it as a manager ? perhaps a call to Terry Conner who is also a well respected coach of the same ability will help him understand the difference between coaching and managing. 13 games in charge won none, drew 4. points available 39, points gained 4. Lets hope Clarke gets off to a good start or the pressure will build rapidly. Good luck to the albion as i think there a brilliant football club with great fans. Not hating, just my opinion.Totally agree with this comment. When will Jeremy Peace take a gamble and invest some money in the club. Chris Houghton was the outstanding candidate for the managers job but Peace wasn't prepared to pay £2m for his services and instead we've got a coach who has never been a No.1 and as a No. 2 has only worked at clubs with far greater than Albion. He'll have shock having to shop in basement markets as opposed to Harrods! We'll probably lose out on Ben Foster for the same reason and lose all the players out of contract too. We'll then struggle to stop up and if we are relegated Peace's tight fisted approach will have back fired completely! From a concerned Baggie

Tottenham after jack butland and Tim krul so harry has three goalie choices(3)(32)One for Europa League
One for Premier League
&
One for the Domestic Cup :PHot spurs youth prospect tommy forecast, who moved to Southampton has allegedly failed to settle and could be tempted with a move back to white hart lane. May be available for less than butland.Can't see Butland wanting to move and be 2nd reserve!
If the lad's any sense he will opt to join Saints.I'm sure those keepers would much rather be second and third choice than first

 


08 Jun 2012 07:33:37
I wonder whether Jeremy Peace uses a site comparethemanager.com to find out who is the cheapest on the market. We will lose out with Foster and go for a goalie who is available for free, been injured for 3 years but was good at some point in his career (Gera, Reid, Giles, Thomas & nearly Hargreaves!) etc...(4)(6)If it wasn't for Jeremy Peace we'd be in debt so cut him some slack

 


08 Jun 2012 07:23:03
Man Utd have apparently agreed a fee of 25million for spurs midfielder Luka Modric. It could rise to 30million depending on appearances etc. Both clubs have supposedly agreed on this.(28)(25)Yeah we turned down 40 mil last season from chelski to take 25 mil this season. don't think so this is just the tabloids making up st againYou read too many tabloidsWhy would Spurs sell him to United for £25m when Chel$ki offered £40m last year?
I think you need to make up some realistic rumours.Read all the quotes in the story and you will realise it's BSChelsea never actually offered 40 million, And spurs could accept less because redknapp might be on his way out this year or next year and theres no champions league football.

Jack sullivan has tweeted that west ham will sign jussi jaskaelinen today you cant really argue if this is true or not because its from david sullivans son! Also he put on twitter that we have bidded £8 million for 2 foreign strikers! I dont know if he ment £8 mil for both or £8 mil each we will wait and see! COYI!!!(19)(5)I dont think we have the money to be spending 16mil on strikers! must be 8mil in total. I reckon one of: Anelka, Yakubu, Pobgrebnyak(?), JoseluThe two foreign strikers are cavanaghi and akpala one is from River plate and the other is from brugge

Gary Johnson has said he wants 8 or so more players to add too the Yeovil squad. the are likely to be:

Eastwood- free agent
Sam walker- loan from Chelsea (season long)
Weale- free agent and fans favourite
Nathan Smith- chesterfield, skiverton rates him highly McCalister- played under GJ at Bristol city
Lawson D'ath- season long loan from reading
Mcloed- free agent, scored 18 goals in league two last season
Akinfenwa- also scored 18 goals in league 2 but is still under contract at Northampton,(6)(8)Would love all these to happen!Absolute pish pash! Adam and Jason are going no where. Both will play a massive part in the premier league. RFC are trying to build for the future and not dismantle the team prior to starting our third season back in the big time.We are not getting eastwood..he said last week hes re-signing for southend.
gary johnson has said the door is wide open for chris weale, but also said "we cant afford chris, but if he wants to come home he will have to do us a massive favour and take a pay cut" . weale is used to a higher wage at leicester and will have to cut it down and come home. lets just see what happensI'm not being funny but do Yeovil have 200k for Akinfenwa?

Also, you're putting 2+2 together and getting 7 with Akinfenwa to team up with Johnson again. Firstly, he want's to stay near/move nearer London and secondly, Johnson and Bayo did NOT get on while at Northampton. He burned a lot of bridges with him before he left.

It's fair to say that deal is a definite no.How sure are you with these players joining Yeovil?Same, but akinfenwa and smith are unlikely because they would require a fee, but the other five are realistic.I've also heard that GJ has spoken to Ryan Doble (released by Southampton)Except sam walkerYou won't be signing Eastwood, he'll choose Southend over Yeovil.With Reid already signed, I really can't see GJ adding another 3 strikers who would all see themselves as players who should start week in, week out.Yeovil wouldnt even be able to buy bayo let alone pay for his wages... & why would he want to work under that disgrace of a manager johnson again? Also... Sam walker only just signed a new 3year contract with chelsea back in january so thats a noo to!Yeovil now only have two strikers, with Reid and Foley (Foley isn't necessarily a striker anyway) So we need 3 more strikers, I'm really hoping for McLeod unsure about Akinfenwa, but Parkin has been released and his name has been chucked around countless timesI could see D'Ath going on loan to a championship club. Cracking young playerYeovil fans..... haha! enough saidJohnson has said that parkin,smith,eastwood and dickson are not signing for yeovil! and Gary Johnson isn't a joke, your club is a joke. He is a very succesful manager in the west country with us and cityEastwood & Smith definitely not in Johnson's plans.Can't see D'ath going back to Yeovil isn't a winger and doesn't want to play on the wing again got to be allowed to plat attacking midfield to get the best out of himActually states loan for Sam. Doubt he b made first team keeper just yet so loan is very likelyIm a saints fan, and ryan doble is not a good striker.Akinfenwa - No thanksAhaha the deluded Northampton fans are back!I think d'ath would come back he had a successful time with us and johnson got the best out of him also sam walker made several fantastic saves in most of his games for us however he didnt keep enough clean sheets and we need to concede less next season. Also i think izale mcleod will be a class signing as he was the joint league 2 top scorer and we need a proven goal scorer since andy williams has left.Just because Sam Walker has signed a new deal with Chelsea doesn't mean he can't go out on loan again. I wish people would learn about football before making silly comments!Who would actually want to work under johnson? what a top class flop of a disgraceful manager!!! didnt 6 yeovil players reject new contracts? says it all really haha... nice ground by the way.... hahaOnly Two People Rejected New Contracts At Yeovil.

Adam lefondre is expected to be on his out after being possibly linked with a numerous amount of teams.The team mostly interested is Aston villa . Also the same can be said about Jason robberts as he has been insecure of his place at Reading due to being to old and possibly not skilled enough to play premier league football so all I can see is have fun in the championship your gunna get slaughtered lol.(3)(26)Dont know what you are talking about both will be staying at readingYou obviously have no clue about football. Neither of them will go anywhere and ALF will tear up the premiership!!All of this is completely rubbish!! Jason Roberts featured in every game since he joined us and Adam Le Fondre is a big part of Brians future plans. Both have said in local newspapers numerous times that they are going to stay at Reading.

This was made up based on jealousy. Slightly dissappointed you put this up Ed. So many sources out that contradict it, all you need to do is do a quick internet search to prove it wrong. {Ed001's Note - playing in every game in the Championship is a totally different thing to playing in the Prem.}Absolute rubbishLol nice bullstSo...you make up something about Reading's two strikers leaving and then say, as they're leaving Reading will get relegated, because of what you just made up? Chill out Dan Brown.Were you drunk when you wrote this?Yes we will sell our top scorer and the catalyst for our promotion push. Don't be silly thanks to Anton we don't have to sell our top players anymore.Alf was a hero last season he isn't going anywhere same with Roberts your just a jealous fan who's team in championshipWho is this clown. Number 1 Reading have just won the championship, number 2 Alfie and Jason Roberts are going nowhere, number 3 at this moment in time Villa are no better than Reading, so why would Alfie move there. Reading are one of the fastest progressing teams in England with investment, one of the best academies in the country and one of the best young managers in England.I know its totally different but Brian McDermott wants to give the team that got us up in the first place with a few alterations. None of the players that played a big part in getting us promoted are leaving, so just completely rubbish the rumours that suggest otherwise.Alf will be a starter next season along with a assume a striker we will buy, Rhodes? Sigurdarson? Yakubu? Roberts will start as back upYou talk like the Norwich fans did before we got their manager.
So if we want him - we get him - Dream on that you are a big team now because you are far from it!Im a Reading fan but we do not have one of the best academies, hence why TSI are planning to upgrade it to one of the best.Not really Mr Aston "survived by the skin of your teeth, used to be a big club but are now nothing" Villa fan. If Reading don't want to sell they won't sell.Sorry but Villa have got a GOOD manager now!
Who wins academy leagues? oh yeh - Villa!
Who makes average players into good players? Villa!
e.g Walker,Milner,Young,Barry & Downing.
Samir Carruthers next season will be the next big thing at Villa Park!Villa big team? I have just heard that Villas transfer kitty for 12/13 is £20m. only £5m more than Reading. The likes of Man Utd etc (the real big teams) are spending that on one player. I am not saying Reading are a big team as a Reading fan but seriously Villa fans, adjust your sense of perspective. You are no longer a big team. Paul Lambert has already confirmed he may be fishing in the lower leagues for "up and coming" players. Sounds like small club talk to me.Downing? Downing! Oh yeh he's setting the league on fire....

Darren Jones will sign a 2 year contract with Shrewsbury Town.

Miles Addison so sign for Afc Bournemouth or Ipswich he is currently weighing up his options fee will be around £150k with 10% sell on clause(6)(6)Signing for everton. source daily mailEVERTON? Please tell me you replied to the wrong post lolYeah try see his potential as a future England starDont want Addison back just a lump at the back, no real football creativity. Alot of better centre backs out there. Zubar and Cook to be our starting 2 next season^hope this isnt the views of every bournemouth fan, he's an excellent centre back and what other centre backs are there that have 'football creativity'No this isn't the view of every fan, far from it. I would love him back but I imagine he will stay in the championship because it's plain to see with games and confidence under his belt that the championship is his minimum levelIt's not, we would love him back

Any new Preston rumours anyone(2)(9)Preston signed Keith Keane todayHemmings to come to his senses and sack risdale and hoofball westleyWhy sack them we are have the biggest player transfer in years and getting players in who want to play. PR Aand GW have done their groundwork and spent next to nothing on transfers.get real palCome and watch us play then tell me we play long ball you plum.Youre signing Non league & lower league players & journeymen who have done nothing over their very long careers and suddenly Westley believes they can get you into the Championship......When they couldnt even get their own team out of League 2 or the Blue square premier league.

Just got rid of Bailey Wright because he wasnt any good and when other teams started to scramble for his signiture Ridsdale made Westley take him off the transfer list.....because he was good

Shows Westley knows nothing about footballers and is at heart a non league manager.

If this fails this season, PNE (are in trouble) but could be in massive trouble and heading to league 2 as the players dont gel (or just cant hack it in this league)

You havent even kicked a ball so dont say youre looking at the play offs as clubs in this league are signing Championship & "young" players and PNE's average age is 26+ and the players are from clubs at the bottom of League 1

Sorry but it's fact!!Hoofball so take it you never saw preston play last season ,they dnt play hoofball ,why do people think westley likes the long ball game get realIf you're tearing yourselves apart before a ball has been kicked it just saves the other teams a job. The stark reality is that you need Westley and you need his methods to work. Stop whining and get behind your team.Yeah your signing no oneBailey wright is staying,clearly you no nothing, every player signed bar richard wright (keeper) is in there prime and no-player over the age of 28. give your head a shake silly boy,dont tell me your a lasher..if so i would be more worried about holloway going to swanseaSorry but I think your wrong mate, we are signing decent players from teams in the League following the example of Charlton, Norwich and Southampton.

We have signed Buchanan and Laird arguably the best 2 left backs in L1, one of them wanted by a Championship team. Who's to say if we hadn't got there first for most of these players that other teams wouldn't have signed them. Tranmere fans were gutted when we signed 2 of there players and I think we will really have a go off it next season. One thing you have to remember is we are in L1 we will not be attracting the best players from the Championship, we will be signing players who can do a good job for us in this league.

We have only signed them to 2 year contracts so if we do get promoted they will not be hanging on the wage bill in the Championship if they are not good enough or surplus to requirement.Westley is rubbish with no idea. Sack him now before too lateCan't think of anything worse than watching a Preston game.Westley got stevenage challenging for promotion with a team of league 2 players, so this shows you know nothing.... also we've only signed one non league player, and a lot of the players we have signed we offered contracts at championship clubs so they aren't 'awful' league 2 players as you would say... PNE will surprise a lot of people this season and i don't care what anyone else says about us tbhSorry, but it's not fact, most of the players we've signed are from our level or higher, do your research before you comment and make yourself look an idiot. k?"Our level or higher"? - dream on.I bet that your a deluded lasher no doubt and even if you did get promoted to the prem you'd come straight back down again because your to small of a club to attract real talent!

Reading are looking into Kenny Cooper of New York Red Bulls. NYRB have put a £5.8million price tag on Cooper and have said that they will not accept a lower price.(2)(15)He failed to shine in Germany and he also failed to shine at Plymouth....certainly can't see him in the PLIf his price tag is 5.8 mil, I doubt we will cough up for that. I wouldn't discount us paying that for the right player though.

Aaron Martin signs season long loan with palace would suggest new centre half is close any ideas(27)(3)Watch simon kjear of denmark in euros rumours is he is in line to come to saintsScott Dann has been enquired about.St ledger and turnerSaints fans Martin any good?He'll be great in the Championship... Still young and needs fitness, hopefully he will gain that with Palace!To the guy asking about martin, he's a good player just need experience and game tim,e be good for palace and himselfMartin big and young centre half, decent player, jus needs game time, but will be the future of our defenceHe's quickly maturing into a very good defender. Great move for him and you Eagles.To the fan that asked if he is any good , he is very good but as people have said he needs to get games to improve , he is tall fairly quick and is your stero-typical english center back , removes the danger , he cna play it out from the back but if too much pressure gets put on him he cna crumble but with games he will improve and get this out of his game

good move for him and both clubsCheers guys will watch for new signings exciting times ahead

Leicester City to make a 2.5M bid for Charlie Austin from Burnley and will use Sean St Ledger has part of the deal(12)(27)It will take 3M to get Austin minimumWe are just about to sell one main striker.Theres no chance we will sell Austin too.Good luck with that one! Nonsense as usualWere the hell are leicester getting all this money from !That not a good offer 3.5 and not give st leger!Can't answer whether the rumour is true or not. Can answer the 'money' question though. LCFC's owners, the Rakriaksorns, are wealthy, with an estimated fortune of several hundred million pounds. However, they themselves reputedly have a backer in Asia, whose personal wealth is measured in £ Billions, and who is content to provide & underwrite further finance as and when required.
From a British perspective the Thais appear to be throwing money at the club without return, but there is an overall plan to make Leicester City the most popular English club in Thailand, by means of media coverage, marketing & merchandise and by establishment of an academy network which is linked to LCFC's renowned 'home' academy.
This process is now well under way and working well. IF all works out, and so far things are looking very promising, the potential income to the club would be huge! Promotion to the PL would guarantee even larger returns, hence the willingness to invest now!Austin has 4 years left on his contract. There is no way he will leave, FACT.Austin has 2 years remaining on his contract

rotherham united have signed kari
arnason on a 2 year deal from aberdeen
who would have thought a so called tin
pot club would sign an international
who was playing against france last
week bet thats shut u up wendys(15)(8)Good signing for a league 2 club and what's wi all your toytowners fascination with Wednesday? Why would we be bothered who you sign lol. I always like to see Rotherham do well, don't see why though wi all bitching your do about us. Concentrate on your signings without bringing us in to it lolU keep signin them then to play in league 2 while we prepare for the championship!!Great signing. SPL = L1 standard so a better player than you could've expectedWell done. When you get 38,000 for your final home game please let us know. {Ed013's Note - A one off game is no good, you want that every week!}Like any well supported team ed if were in top league we will get that every week. Was good to see a full stadium in league one even though a one off don't you think? {Ed001's Note - it is always good to see a stadium full, but especially in the lower leagues.}After what I saw sat season at Bradford regarding the way Evans conducts himself and manages the players I have to feel fr you guys. He was an absolute disgrace and should not be allowed to manage a football club! Don't say you were not warned!

oxford united have rejected a second bid for there striker james constable from fellow league 2 club bristol rovers. the bid was in the region of 200,00(11)(10)180k actualyWhat a joke, he's worth 180k at most. Oxford can keep him. Rovers fans would like to see Akinfenwa or Mcloed in the blue and white quaters now.Constable is never worth £200,000!

We could have Ellington back on a free, im sure he'd notch a few in league 2He will keep him thank you very much. Wonder if u will come back with another bidHope the Gashead above isn't talking on behalf of all Rovers fans... I don't want Akinfenwa!

I'd happily take McLeod though.

I rate Constable but he's never worth in excess of £200,000 so I hope we move on to other targets.When 25% of the profit goes to Shrewsbury, and OUFC bought him for 40k. OUFC will only pocket 145k of a 180k bid.
He's a club legend with the fans. Could they buy better for 145k and risk upsetting some of the fans?
And tbh, James Constable probably wouldn't of joined Rovers. He's stated so many times, he does not want to leave. Certainly not to another league 2 club.
He turned down a lot more money at Bournemouth and Swindon to stay.I wouldn't want akinfenwa all he can do is let the ball hit his ass and hope that it goes inHe didn't turn down anything at Swindon! He never actually spoke to them because of the disgusting threats etc he got from some of our so called 'fans'.He will go to Leicester in a deal that will see Cian Bolger and Tom Parkes come the other way.It was 200,000 it was on sky sports and bbc and in the bristol evening post also mcleod is a great shout as he is a free agent

Quatari royal family have been accepted by the alfayed family to purchase 49% of fulham with mo alfayed still running things . Expect jol's transfer kitty to go up from 15 mil to 35 mil this summer with more dough being pumped in over 3 years and no im not a fulham fan but i do have a pal who is high up at harrods . This will be made public by tues at the latest . For the record im scottish n support stenhousemuir n dont bother talking about their transfers cos the only ones we can afford our the ones that kids stick on their arms!.(9)(27)They already own MalagaNot to mention he sold harrodsThey also own PSG, looking for an english team to develop. was rumoured to be fulham or newcastle in line!I thought he'd sold harrods and fulham a while backNo he only sold harrods. Still owns FFCMy friend is also very high up at Harrods.
He repairs and seals all roofing areas.
He told me he got kiddnapped by aliens who told him that the cottage is gonna be knocked down and turned into a chelsea members meating club.
Not sure if I belive him
Lol
LukeThe thing is Fayed sold Harrods to the Qatari royal family so there is a connection. Seems feasable.This ^^^This is very likely to be announced within the next two weeks.

The Qatari Royal Family want to spread their footballing ownership to England after purchasing Malaga and PSG outright. This is very different as they will not be majority shareholders and Mohamed Al Fayed will be in charge of the club. They will pump money into the club and it could be key in keeping Dembele and Dempsey.

As someone above said, Mohamed Al Fayed has previously done business with the family in selling them Harrods. The story has credibility but whether or not a deal will come through, we will wait and see.

Very exciting on the banks of the Thames.Why didn't Qatari's do a deal when they bought Harrods seems odd they want to buy into FFC now. Chances of it happening ..nil

Malky looking to improve his squad after being backed with a decent transfer budget. Some Targets are rumored to be Celtics star stiker Gary Hooper; QPR midfielder Adel Tarrabt; Blackpool Midfielder Matt Phillips and Newcastle United midfielder Haris Vuckic who had a short load spell at Cardiff earleir this season.(7)(43)Celtics star stiker Gary Hooper; QPR midfielder Adel Tarrabt to Cardiff?

ha...ahhhh. brilliant. best laugh i've had all day.Aye that's right....hooper is gna sack potential champions league football and go back to the championship....more chance of Cardiff changing they're colours to pink!I can only see one of them being willing to play in the Championship.Taarabt is going nowhere mateNice wish list not a chance of any of them and you will be the next pompy selling your soul to play in redIm a cardiff fan and do we really want a prem fail and a sunday morning league player we could do betterTo the cardiff fan.. no you cantTaarabt leaving the Premier League for a consistantly useless play-off team when he can stay at a QPR team that are building for a big future or choose somewhere abroad with the other bigger clubs he's been linked with? Somehow I think you've made yourself a little wishlist for your poxy little team, good luck with that!I don't think Cardiff will have an excess of £25M to spend to sign any of these players you've mentioned when most of them will stay with their current club or move on to bigger and better things!We're not a poxy little club and we havent sold our soul to anyone we still have the blue kit as the away kit and the chairman and the " investors " are pumping £100,000,000 into the club so think about that before you post on here£25 mil maybe not, but we have a lot more cash than we used toI'm a Cardiff City fan and all i got to say is this person is living in Dreamland, Taarabt no never happening, Hooper, Celtic denied an offer from Southampton saying Hooper's worth 20mil so never happening, Matt Phillips i can only see him moving on to a Prem team, Vuckic is the only one that we would be able to get from these playersWere not having £100 million pounds to spend on players look before you postTo the 4th from bottom comment any club can do better that those two failsIt is you that should read the post clearly,he said 100mil into the club,not on players.Why would taarabt leave to go to a championship club. he just got out of the championship, will be staying with qpr unless bigger club comes inYou ain't getting Taarabt but you can have Bothroyd back, He's PonyNa you can keep bothroyd 60% of his game is playing while he's laying on the floor

sorry to put you all down but people saying they are close to signing alex cisak dont get your hopes up he is no way near championship standard this is coming from a leicester fan who used to watch cisak play. but im not moaning becuase who ever he joins leicester will stick 5 goals past him hes rubbish.(4)(5)07 Jun 2012 20:00:15

News concerning Southampton:

Martin heading to Crystal Palace is part of the incentive of the deal to obtain the services of Clyne, who is expected to sign at the beginning of next week. Expect Danny Butterfield also to be heading in the other direction. Jay Rodriguez deal to be sorted out by Friday evening. Other targets include include Danny Gutherie, who's advisors have been contacted regarding a possible return. Lee Barnard is expected to be sold to Sheffield United (£400,000), also Jonathon Forte to Notts County (£275,000). Brighton are expected to sign Dan Seabourne for a fee of £800,000. Andrew Surman has also hinted at a possible return to the South Coast club, with Robert Snograss of Leeds seen as a possible alternative to sort out the right midfield problem.

Southampton have decided that they also want to sign a centre back and a goal keeper, with Jack Butland lined up- though further talks will be held when he returns from the Euros. Any enquiry has also been made by Oxford United for Tommy Forecast.(26)(17)I think it's too early to be saying Andrew Surman will be coming to Saints, however i know for a fact he is down on the South Coast (Holiday) at the moment because he's married to my teachers sister.If you are suggesting that Surman is a possible solution for Saints on the right hand side of midfield, my recollection of him is that he is a left sided player!Clyne off to NewcastlePrefer it to be connected with the signing of Zaha.Sounded plausable until you mentioned Tommy Forcecast .Ha more like 50k for forte or a free, no club has that money to waste on an inconsistant playerWhy does Tommy Forecast leaving the club not sound plausible? He has played not part in the club since joining about 4 years ago!All went downhill for me from the mention of Surman. Glad to hear that we've decided that we need a cb and gk though!Hope Martin is only a loan as i think he did well last season and if we sell Seabourne then we will need to sign more than one center backWith the depature of Chris Hughton from birmingham and their financial problems saints are set to raid birmingham for Curtis Davies and Jack ButlandGood player but this is coming from a palace fan we dont need any more defendersWhere is sufc getting that kind of money from they will only be selling and signing freebies they are pink lintSnodgrass has already stated that if he is moving anywhere it will be further north than LeedsForte inconsitent no way hes always done brilliant for us notts county id like him he will score loads in league 1What is the palace fan talking about, we have one senior centre back, so martin is a great deal for usI really like forte (saints fan) but he can't cut it in prem but would be a good buy for notts county and he is up there with the fastest I've seen at st Mary's (Walcott and chambo)Clyne wants to join Man U and not some mid-table club who are no bigger than PalaceWe are deffo interested in signing forte. which i am delighted about, surely 275k tho is abit steep seeing as your now prem. 150k would be a bargain for us.Why would OUFC go for Forecast?
They have 3 pro keepers. 2 of them are top quality keepers for their league.
So OUFC have not enquired about him... FACTWhats the point of joining man u when he wont get a game because the likes of chris smalling and phil jones are normally playing in that right back position but if he comes to saints he will get a game as i dont see butterfield or richardson cutting it in the premClyne won't join Soton he knows and any one who's watched him properly that he's a future contender for Walkers right back spot for england so why would he waste his career there?^btw jones & smalling are playing rb currently as rafael is the only 'natural' right back who in fact can't actually defend or attack...Your saying that he would waste his career if he joined saints but he is more likely to waste his career joining man u as he wont get a game but at saints he would be a regular straight awayI think you`ll find that joel ward`s natural position is centre half but he played right back last season just like smalling and jones did. what we need is a striker who actually knows where the goal is

With Southampton now having only 2 recognisable centre halfs they are set to make an ambitious move for Stoke centre half Ryan Shawcross in a £8M offer while keeping an eye on the contract situation surrounding Nottingham Forrest's Luke Chambers(10)(40)This is possibly the most ridiculous rumour I have ever seen posted on here. If shawcross was to ever leave stoke it would be to a top premiership side for closer to 20m. I had forgotten how saints fans have such a distorted high opinion of their club.Shawcross... the same shawcross that turned down a return to man u.... lol wake up sunshine.You must be joking right? The only reason Shawcross would leave Stoke is to go a big club not to a team that's just got promoted. No disrespect to Southampton but it is a true fact.Why would stoke sell thier club captain worth around 12+ million to a newly promoted club that have no chance of getting him because his contract lets the team he supported as a kid united have first debs on him before he is sold to any club so this rumour is rubbish and out of somones dreamsThis isn't from a Saints fan as they would know we have 4 recognised centre backs.Saints actually have 3 recognizable CBs and one of them (Seabourne) is rumoured to be going out on loan..Joining Martin who has gone out on loan today. So 2 CBs will be needed, but I highly doubt Shawcross is one of them. When it comes to fans having a distorted opinion of their club trust me their are much much worse than Saints fans.Yep, some people have a distorted high opinion of Saints. They're called football fans. Anyone else noticed it's half term this week? {Ed003's Note - I have }This is clearly a Skate making this rumour up. I know this is a rumour site but no one will no Saints buisness until it is annouced by the club its self, its the way they do things under NC & NA.Some of our fans make the rest of us look really badAt the second post - nowhere does it say the person that posted this is a Saints fan, and they don't exactly sound like a fan either, just someone with a rumour on another clubLol he would never leave stoke and he's worth at least 20 mGreat deal for Palace - in the limited games I've seen him, I thought he was our best and by some way quickest centre back......... He is a talent. Hope he does well for Palace and we get him back for next season. I actually thought he would be able to cope with the prem better than many of our other defenders who lack a bit of pace.Surprised we've let Martin go for the season. Good move for palace and will be good for his development. We are thin at the back now though. Two quality centre backs needed now. Will be a key area this season.The shawcross rumour is not coming from saints fans. Another bored skate no doubt.Ive actually heard this shawcross rumour too.
If you've ever heard NC speak about the ambition he had for saints then you'd know that this is exactly the sort of player we will go for
Shawcross will have no interrest in joining a newly promoted team but if we could get him to st marys to speak to the management, see the set up & see the vision im certain he would sign in a heart beat.
Do not underestimate saints, we have THE BEST set up in the country & are destined for big thingsLaughable rumour, next!We have a better set up than you stoke so why wouldnt he want to sign for us and yes i know that man u have been interested in him in the past and had a bid rejected for him but maybe thats because he thought that he might not be a regular for them but at saints he would be a regular so stop criticising us just because we might be interested in one of your playersTo the post above ,you might be intrested in one of our players but he is way out of your league and always will be and stoke are one of the best set up teams in england FACTPoor deluded Southampton. Enjoy your season in the PremStoke fans talking about being deluded! Incredible!

Joe Cole will be given another chance to impress after an excellent season in France, and also expect much more participation from youngsters such as Robinson, Flanagan and Sterling.(16)(58)Some quality players them like for the scousersHuddlestone £7million???? i think not more like £700kWhy do people say scott dann to liverpool! he is Rubbish, as last season proved for definite. championship standard.I take it you mean turkish millions !!Dann not worth anything like that,championship his level.as for the rest what diff are they going tomakeRobinson, Flanagan and Sterling for Loan agent?Hate to break it to you Liverpool fans but you aint the big attraction you once were. The players mentioned are average players, none of them are world class, this is how it is for Liverpool now i am affraid. As for Scott Dann he is as good as anyone you allready have at the club.Deadwood Skrtel, Bellamy 3 million ???. We cant get rid of skrtel Agger or Johnson. The back four is where Brendan should be building from. I would go for Milner,Adam Johnson and break the bank for LlorenteA johnson coming back home to sunderland near his family unlucky!So where is carroll in all this deadwood,oh i forgot hes just woodMaxi has left for free as has aurelio. bellers going nowhere and as for the rest of this post, UTTER WASTE OF TIMEFor 1 aurelio has already left on a freeSterling must be given last 25 minutes per game and lfc must sign adam johnson he is beter than downing, siggurdson is god in mid and a best penalty taker as well as we must go for a world class striker like matias suarej or lukk de jong are possible moves.Kuyt already left on a free!Pacheco to NorwichSmithies!! wake upSkrtel £10mil?!?! you're having a laugh, we won't sell him for less than £20milAs if Spurs would sell Huddlestone, much less for £7 mill

Ross Jenkins to go on a season long loan to his home town of Wycombe Wanderer's from Watford.(7)(8)With McGinn coming back he is now our 4th or 5th choice centre mid. If there were a recall clause I could see this happening.There has been dialogue between the two clubs in regards to this deal. It will be a good move for the lad as he will be able to get some first team football.McGinn has yet to sign, but Jenkins to Wycombe would be just what he needsHow or why do people make these rumours up?^ True about McGinn, but if he leaves he has no soul. Jenkins has no place in the team, not his fault but a loan would do him some good.I honestly don't understand why McGinn wouldn't want to resign. Who would want to take a player coming back from over a year out the game? I'd love him to stay and play just in-front of the midfiled, he's quality.

Chris Hughton is the new Norwich manager and Birmingham have given him good luck(29)(5)He will need itWhy does he need it? We prove everyone wrong last season, why can't we again? We have some great players like Holt, Ruddy, the Bennetts and Howson in our team.

preston are reportedly moving in on free agent jon parkin, the former fans favorite would be an ideal signing for westley as the big man up front with ian hume(10)(17)I hope this is true, as He'd be most welcome back at Deepdale.As a pne fan i can tell you now we wont sign him he is nowere near wat westley wants in a strikerI hope so bring back the beastJon Parkin said in a interview with WalesonLine.co.uk that when he joined Cardiff he would never go back to Preston after he was treated so badley by the club when they wanted to reduce his wages and the only thing to do was walk away from a club after they told him they didnt want him.....so cant see him going back no matter how fat and slow he gets.Can not see John Parkin surviving the twice a day training sessions with WestleyImagine this. The power of Parkin, the drive and determination of Hume and the speed and finish of Zoko---job done.

Arsenal academy defender Ben Glasgow has turned down an extension with arsenal to sign a professional contract with stoke(18)(2)Stoke have as much chance of signing Lucas as Southampton have of signing Shawcross for £8 millionThe beautiful game to anti-football good choice mate!The beautiful game that all arsenal fans keep banging on about is total crap all the players r over rated and give away more fouls than most other teams when the game is not going there way and can not change there style of play to challange different teams styles of play like stoke, and that is why arsenal fan are all up in arms when a player choses to jump from a team like arsenal to stoke becasue he has more chance of playing first team football in the future. Plus he has signed onto stoke new Under21 future development team that has been started up just like ajax and barca did years ago . Good luck to the ladArsenal dont even play beautiful football anymore, its just a ball over the top to van persie and he carries you st team! the fact that swansea played better football than you says it allWhen Arsenal win something then preach how football should be played to other sides. When RVP leaves they're screwed

wanting to pay the demands that
some have made they have gone to
Latvia where Arturs Vaiculis at FK
Daugava is available. An under-21 cap

If he doesn't come then PJ will go to

at virtually every level from under-16

Matty Fryat is a possible charlton target. powel worked with him a Leicester.(4)(13)Why would he leave a team that have a chance of going up to a team that will stuggle to stay out of the bottom 4Did you watch charlton at all last year, we are quality, and bottom 4 seems a wee bit unlikelyIs that the same team that spent loads last season and massively under achievedBoth clubs will be in the top half so that is rubbishHull are going down. we are going upI love it how all teams write us off saying we will struggle to stay up, we are one of the richest and most attractive teams in the championship and although we haven't signed anyone yet, the rumours that are going around, it sounds like we can attract better players then Leicester which we can because WE WILL FINISH ABOVE YOU"Why would he leave a team that have a chance of going up to a team that will stuggle to stay out of the bottom 4"

You wish, we'll finnish above you!Not good enough I'm afraid"Is that the same team that spent loads last season and massively under achieved"

Burnley are close to signing Stephen Davies and James Bailey from Derby for 2M

Davies scored 12 in 20 starts for Derby last season and will replace Jay Rod

Bailey is a 23 year old box to box midfielder who will hopefully replace the outgoing Dean Marney(9)(9)I heard its 2.5 million but yeah you are right about burnley being after them two.
They dont however want Jason shackell after derby declined their enquiry.Although ide like to keep em both but im resigned to it and bailey didnt get in anyway so 2.5 mill would be nice

Adrian Mariappa wanted by Bolton. Player is keen. Fee to be agreed. Wigan and Newcastle have an interest but no approach has been made. Player now on hols, so nothing will be finalised for another week or two.(2)(20)Coming to Reading + is on international duty not hols...Bid from Bolton for Mariappa has gone in, but Watford feel they can get more from circling Prem clubsWould love it if we could sign Mariappa, He could team up with Sordell, his former team mate is at Bolton... so who knows .....Good signing for Bolton if they can push it through.LOL...Bolton XD never gonna happen

Cheltenham Town manager Mark Yates has emerged as a front runner for the vacant Birmingham City job.(4)(16)Not good enough a manager - he's staying at WR.Most of the Cheltenham fans wanted him sacked at the start of the season and many would jump at the chance to off load him if the compensation was right.Yates has a vision at CTFC - Clark is a free agent.Also worth pointing out he was one of three managers to share 8% of the Birmingham fans' vote. Paul Ince took almost half the votes alone.

new villa boss Paul Lambert is going
to try and sign up free agent Michael Owen and raid his old club for winger Anthony Pilkington for 4million(19)(18)Pilks is worth at LEAST £6M and seeing as McNally is such a lad he won't sell anybody to LambertI agree McNally will not allow any player to be sold to Lambert so you can also forget about Holt going to Villa, unless they pay stupid money for him, IE 6M , likewise Pilkington will not be going anywhere certainly not for £4M, rumour was Liverpool went in with an inquiry last season and the number was £6M

 


07 Jun 2012 13:46:04
MK Dons have reached a mutual agreement with Izale Mcleod according to recent sources at the club with him joining when his contract expires(3)(13)When his contract expires? dude he's a free agentIn fairness, his contract will run until June 30th, like just about every other footballer's.

I can't see it happening. We had two looks at him last season against Barnet (cup & PSF) and it was the same old Izale, five gilt edged chances to tuck away one goal each time in the 89th minute. He still misses far too many opportunities for the chances he gets. We're building a team for the Championship and he just doesn't fit that criteria.He is a natural goalscorer r u kidding he is exactly the player we need to get into the championship automatically next season-and he is a free agentI agree fully with this. Thanks for the memories Izale, but that's all they should be, memories... Never go back.DOnt talk crap, izale is a great player.. and he dont score all his chances? 20+ goals... alright thenI would take him back in an instant. Arrogant yes, however he is still the Dons top goalscorer and the most goals in a season and maybe he has changedI think Izale mcleod is a fantastic goal scorer and yes he may miss 5 chances and then put away the 5th, but it's the fact that he gets in those situations and scores them! That my friends is called positioning and only a few top strikers have this ability. He scores 20 plus goals every single year aswell. Not to mention he is mk dons all time top goal scorer aswell with 54. Nothing more to say...Living in the past! he's not got that explosive pace anymore to get away from defenders. A large number of his Barnet goals were penalties and he was still missing sitters all season.If Robinson and Harford think that Izale is the man to get us promoted, then we may as well turn off the lights and go home. A shockingly unambitious target, if it's true that is, which is very unlikely. Anyway, NEVER go back... Ince anyone?You deluded mk dons fan.... im an mk fan and clearly know more then you... izale would be the perfect man for promotionMe? Deluded? Oh dear....Never go back? Heidur Helguson machine at Watford. Goes to Fulham in P.L and a nightmare begins, then he goes to 3 other clubs and it gets worse and worse.. Goes back to Watford and couldn't score more goals if he tried! Now in PL doing well scoring for Q.P.R. Sheringham back to Tottenham from Manchester United is another great example. I think Izale will be brilliant for us once again and will have confidence because he is a fans favorite here.Izale has brilliant movement (at this level) just abit hit and miss with his finishing, perhaps Ian Wright could sort that out.If McLeod was that good, how come only lowly Barnet took him on? And why release such a "valuable" player? Anyway, if he was that good, surely there'd be huge competition for his signature? All the teams in League 1 would want him to get them promoted, surely...?

Victor Moses to Tottenham for £6million + Giovanni Dos Santos to Wigan. (Accepted).(11)(27)Doubt it is true , but if it is ? Good deal for Wigan if Moses still wants to leave .Moses stated that he will sign a new deal provided Martinez stays (which he has), He won't leave but Wigan will get Dos Santos anywayDos Santos is the better player so Spurs would hardly pay money and give him for Moses but Gio wants to return to La Liga anyway so that deal won't happenMoses is a better player than dos santos, and im not even a wigan fan...dos santos is good but moses is class would love to see him at york city hahaYeah dos santos is a better player than moses! good one do you have something wrong with you

Watford will be announcing friendly against Shrewsbury as part of the inevitable transfer of James Collins to the Hornets!(15)(0)The looming friendly does sound like we're doing some sort of deal with them. However the friendly will not be confirmed until after the Capital One draw, as the date for that game is not yet confirmed.Collins may move to Watford but this friendly is not part of any transfer deal. (Mr T)How is it inevitable?This was already agreed and whats inevitable about it?Why would we want a friendly with watford as part of the transfer? watford aren't a big club.It was actually part of the deal when Youth coach Dave Hughes moved to Watford from Shrewsbury.^ It's like a cup final for youWhy can't he stay

Free agent Paul Green in talks with Preston North End.he was released by Derby at end of the season and will sign next week on a two-year deal.(3)(20)He's a bit too good for Preston really.Lol. Greens to good for league 1.Why would pne need another midfielder its a right back and two strikers that pne will be looking for nowGreen by himself is better than pne...He left derby cus he thinks he's too good for us so why would he go league 1Well that is complete rubbish seeing as though Paul green is at the euros, so won't be signing anything until after then. Also he left derby cause he thinks he play for a high champ or prem team, this is not preston. Come on next joke!!!Preston.....mid table League 1 team at the very best....why would Green join a team almost in League 2 ......Was it 2 wins in 20 odd games....ROFLBecause even a league 1 preston is better than derby

Preston North End are ready to pounce for Carlisle United's set piece expert James Berrett to join Francois Zoko in Graham Westley's revolution(6)(13)What set pieces he only takes corners.and he's crap at that.and zoko going to charltonZoko wants to play for a higher level, and berret wont go to preston he loves carlisle and knows how much they dont like prestonZoko has stated h is joining a club in the championship shows what you knowZoko left Carlisle to "test himself at a higher level", citing the Championship as his destination. He hopes to confirm his new club later this week. Never, ever going to Preston!Seriously, why do carlisle hate pne so much? this is a serious question.Zoko knows pne will get promoted so technically he is moving to a higher level and will playin in the championship nxt season. NORTH END forever woop woopBecause you are are closet league rivals and it is unlikely we will play Newcastle which is slightly closer.What when Carlisle finished higher than you last season we will even give you lubo we wanted him dropped all season promotion at Preston what toshNorth End a big club? dont make me laugh what a great season you had last campaign. Relegation candiditaes 12/13Zoko on his way to HuddersfieldPNE should really focus on their big local rivalries like Fleetwood and Morecambe who they will meet in League 2 before long...Just because Zoko said he wants to play at a higher level does not mean he is actually going to.The rumours I heard say Zoko's going to Middlesbrough.Berrett has signed a new deal

Jay Rodriguez is set to seal his £7million switch to Premier League Southampton today in a deal that take Richard Chaplow back to Burnley(17)(16)For the 10th million time chaplow is not going anywhereWhy do people keep claiming that Burnley will get a player as part of the deal? They are getting good money as it is. Don't be greedy.Chaplow is NOT part of the deal.Would rather keep Chappers than farm him off to Burnley! Jay still aint worth 7 million irrelevant of how good a championship player he is.Chaplow wont go back on a permanent maybe a loanChaplow is not part of this deal yet, but Burnley have an interest in taking him back to Turf Moor.Chaplow has said he will not be going anywhere.Chaplow stated on twitter that he's going nowhere!No player exchange. 7 mill is plenty and enough of a tag for a player to live up to. Good player, really hope it works for us saints but that is more than enough money for his services.

Watford have been linked with:

-marko futacs
-Joseph mills
-alex cisak (apparently he has already returned from holiday to start talks)
-Simon church (rumoured to have placed a £850,000. And before people say watford are much better finacially now so yes they can afford that.)(9)(12)I can see why we'd be interested in all these players. I'm just thinking that £850k for Church seems like a big risk. We've done well buying £500k> players. Would be far more interested in Futacs or Paul Taylor.Alex Cisak is going to Peterborough for a fee of £350kIm a watford fan and no way can we afford to pay 850,000 for one player who reading fans dont even rate!. It's much more likely that we will sign shrewsbury's james collins for a nominal fee like 250,000.I'm a watford fan and am fed up with people saying we dont have 850k to spend we've got one of the smallest debt in the league + mariappa sale, I do agree this one is unlikely tho, o and Carlisle fans didnt rate Graham when we signed him, look how that turned outI'am a cousin of Joseph Mills and this rumour is falseAlex Cisak for Watfordwill not be joining Peterborough and will become the No.1Some Watford fans really are naive. Sorry but, we were promoted and have made upwards of £30m in transfer fees in recent years. Yet we're still making losses so do not assume that one £2m means we can afford to splash the cash. Don't forget all of the money spent on pub, pitch and stadium too....Where has all this church rumour come from i think he could be a good signing but i can see nothing anywhere!Simon Church to Watford for £850k? Well it's better than the insane amounts of money I've been hearing in the region of 2 million or even 4 million, but still I can't see Watford agreeing for anything over £500k.Pretty sure we aren't going to buy anyone for over 500k since we broke our transfer record for Nathan Ellington a few years ago and he flopped big-time.

 


07 Jun 2012 12:45:58
Brighton willing to offload Inigo Calderon to Crystal Palace, provided they can get long-term target Southampton's Danny Butterfield. This will leave Southampton/Newcastle et al to compete for the signature of Nathaniel Clyne, who is mulling over a new deal at Selhurst(7)(11)Brighton will never offload Inigo Calderon to Palace that would be a major step backwards. Carderon insists he is loving life with Brighton & Hove Albion.Calderon stated in the Argus the other day that he wants to stay at Brighton, plus he still has a year left on his contract.Aaron Martin from Saints to Palace on 12 month loan makes things interesting.Calderon would never go to palace what a joke a big backward stepCalderon to palace...h...draws breath....ha.{Big G Voice} Who wrote that rubbish about Calderon to palace surly that would never happen, but i said that about murrey last year, its a funny old world this footballing anything possible but really cannot see it happening with Calderon,Perhaps we could give Palace fans some free tickets to the Amex next season to watch some decent football including Calderon and CoButterfield would be a massive signing
Calderon can go to palace as he's an average league one player and take Barnes as well3-1. that is allI heard because of the signing of ward and aaron martin(loan) palace have lost interest in tunchev10th - 17th that is all.Yep, 2.5 million well spent. was it 10 goals mackail smith got? murray got 8 and scored the winner against you and the winner against united. i know whose side i'd rather be on!Yeh, I would rather be on the side that is BETTER (brighton!) oh and ashley barnes comfortably outscored murray, who was rubbish for youPalace fans look at the final league table who finished higher players don't move to clubs on the odd good result they want a team who will finish higher up the league and I'm afraid that's not you10th - 17th that is all - still couldnt win though

07 Jun 2012 12:17:25
Heard that Crystal Palace are close to signing Tunchev, and Wilbraham. Also are battling in negotiations with Futacs of Portsmouth, however there is competition for his signature.

Bostwick is another major target,

Rumours about a loan deal for Baldock are false - we havent made an approach although is one that has interested Freedman in the past.

Players expected to leave the club are Easter, Wright and Scannell(5)(6)Ngl no ones battling to sign futacs he's gonna stay with us for first team football :)Tbh mate he'll get first team football at palaceFutacs is not ready for Championship football yet. He has potential but he has a lot of work to do on his game before he is ready for Championship football. A season or two in Div 1 would benefit him.

07 Jun 2012 12:40:05
As confirmed in the Bucks Free Press today, as soon as the transfer embargo is lifted on Wycombe Wanderers (once the takeover is complete) Gary Waddock will act quickly to sign up players he has been holding talks with. These are believed to be Gary Doherty, Alex Revell, Izale Mcleod, Scott Donnelly, Chris Hackett and another unnamed CM. Although wages here appear to be a problem, the transfer fees received from the sales of Jordon Ibe and Kadeem Harris will contribute to it. Should Stuart Beavon be sold, no fee will be accepted under 750k and most of that money will be channeled into bringing a striker of his quality into the club. (Very reliable club source).(3)(8)Believe the unnamed CM is actually Marcus Bean

just a little message to huddersfield fans- just heard from a reliable source that we are leaving the galpharm stadium due to the shares issue, we will play there for the next 3 years though as a 30,000 seater stadium is built back on leeds road were 10 pin bowling is and the car garage next to it. this will be confirmed by the club in the next 48 hours. and its going to be called the cowshed (huddersfield are going home)(12)(9)I heard about this to. i was wondering how we could pay for it but ive heard dean hoyle will team up with kirklees council and also as were in the championship we will be getting money from ticketing. we would of got quite a lot from the final win against united 2 {Ed007's Note - Any who replies to their own posts will be blocked from the site. It will give you some time to grow up.}Whos your 'reliable source' then? cos i dont think that this would happen, giants wouldnt fill the galpharm so surely either the galpharm would have to be reduced in size or closed down if it happened. the council wouldnt want to close the groundAbsolute rubbish!! Find something better to do!If the original poster responded to his own post this loses all credibility for me, even though I have heard something similarThis is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard ,
1. the team have a 99 year lease and cant leave
2. Kirklees council would never support it as they are shareholders in the sadium too and the sadium would fail without town
3. if you are reply to your own posts in support you've obviously made the whole thing up but are trying to look legitimateI have on good authority that this statement is complete rubbish!The site you mention couldnt fit a 30 sweater stadium never mind 30000 plus a car parking space of course. Most ridiculous rumour yet!Keep dreaming! Never ever will happen! The council would never approve two stadiums when we can't even fill one with two teams.

Its believed Gary Waddock has spoken to various targets but can't act until the clubs transfer embargo is lifted. Those are believed to be: Scott Donnelly, Gary Doherty, Izale Mcleod, Alex Revell & Chris Hackett(5)(6)Seems realistic as both Scott Donnelly and Gary Doherty have said publicly that they would be happy to join Wycombe.

Jobi McAnuff to Millwall(5)(29)Yeah because reading would really sell their captain and he would really want to give up the chance to play in the prem to go to millwall...Sure mate. Why is he going to millwall when reading are in the premier leauge????Would be a good signing, good competition for places on the wingsNot a chance he is reading captainIt would be very good if wall did sign him,but really cant c it happening! ps it wasen't so long ago when reading were in the old 2nd div! short memories mate!Hate it when people put rumours on here, that will never happen

peltier will move back to huddersfield before the monday (must want to watch the england match with his old mates) lafferty may take a bit more time as contract talks are lasting longer than expected but should be wrapped up but next friday(16)(8)Both very believable! i hope they're true...Both believable? dream on! Why would peltier wanna go backwards in his career to a smaller club on less wages? LOL

LeicesterLadHow on this earth are Leicester a bigger club than huddersfield?
Leicester city = No historyJust have to wait and see wont we leicester lad. I for one will be back on here to post if he does sign for us. huddersladI really cannot get my head around this why would town want to sign lee peltier when we have Jack Hunt who is twice the player that peltier is ??Jack hunt twice to player peltier is?? are you mad hunts got SO much to learn about been a defender he had 1 good game against arsenal and has lived in that shadow ever since most over rated player since alex smithies. i for 1 would welcome pelts back gladly.Is this guy above for real peltier comes back he sat on bench jack hunt is towns crutial RB

West brom to loan out Simon cox due to first team appearances last season, reading,Norwich and Swansea all in the pot for his services with grant holt possibly going the other way if Norwich secure Simon cox, you heard it here first(5)(18)We might need him. I'm not sure most what the players would think of Steve Clarke being the new manager.Yes that is exactly the sort of thing a club decides when they don't have a manager! What if the new boss really rates Cox !?!Simon cox. Is ex Reading fc. No good then. No good now so no thanks Not req at Reading fc. Norwich city can have him thanks for warning us.Don't want him back at Reading. He was rubbish for us, and I haven't seen much improvement since he's moved away. Marginally better than Simon Church.We (reading) sold him ages ago because he wasn't good enough so why would we get him back now?Holt will not be going to West Brom and we certainly would not take Simon Cox in exchange. If you are throwing him in you can add extra cash as well to compensate us for taking such a poor striker. None goer. We have just signed our manager, he will have his own targets so anything said before is likely to be scrapped.He was sold to swindon and swindon sold him to west brom, hes played more games for swindon than any other team, Good playerHe wouldnt be that bad when I have seen him playing for West brom he has been pretty good.Not saying cox is good enough or not but to say he isn't because you once sold him when he was young is ridiculous! is jordan rhodes not good enough for ipswich?
also cox definitely wont be loaned out. his contract was effectively up and albion took up the one year option so that if he leaves they can get a fee, i doubt they would extend his contract just to loan him outClarkes beta than Rangnick because of his knowledge and relevant successes in the Premiership. Ralph was bankrolled in Germany and when the call came to better himself he couldn't hack it. Don't get me wrong I think we could do better but we aren't as big a club as we think. If we can't pay 2 mil for HUGHTON I rest my case.Complete tosh, Norwich are not the least bit interested in Simon Cox, and as for swapping him with Holt ?, where do you come up with such utter dribble....

 


07 Jun 2012 11:40:01
Leicester set to complete the free signings of Fitz Hall and Zat Knight within the next week, following Sol Bambas depature and Matt Mills pending transfer to Celtic. Also moves expected for Norwood of Man Utd and striker Kevin Doyle from Wolves.(14)(19)Doyle would not even consider Leicester.Haha!!!
Kevin Doyle to Leicester!!!
Bahaha!
Made my day that has.Regarding Doyle, you will find LCFC have already bid for him and he wants to leave Wolves but is waiting till after the EUROS but whether it is LCFC or another club at least its step up to a bigger club for himActully doyle was asked about joining leicester and he didint say no he just said he would consider his options.Doyle said he would consider Leicester, but he WILL be leaving wolves as they are on a downward slide. Several Teams interested.Doyle will go to a top 10 premiership side or stay at Wolves he has said as much. How can anybody sensibly claim that Leicester are a bigger club than Wolves-that's just laughable.Leicester are a bigger club than wolves! and im a Derby fan and hate to say anything nice about leicesterSo whoever wrote the above post is trying to tell me a team that has never won the 1st division and never won the fa cup is a bigger club than Wolves who have won both these? You must be joking! after all the size of a club is based on History and historically Wolves have won it all domestically whereas Leicester have not thus Wolves are a bigger club! Also where have Leicester been in the last 3 years when Wolves have been entertaining Premier league football? Oh yeah only being able to reach mediocrity in the Championship. In my opinion Leicester are just a small clubLeicester are Wolves are both the same now, regardless of Wolves past as of now they are a championship club with a massive stadium bill hanging over their head!!Well what do darby no about winning things what was the last thing you won^^ How can you question what somebody knows? You can't even string a sentence togetherAdd derbies and Leicestershires (.which I still see As a cricket county not a football club) triple the amount, then you may be able to fill the little trophy case in the molinuex boot room! FWAWI presume you mean DERBY'S and LEICESTER'S? Not to pick you up on your grammar....
If we are judging 'size' based on what teams have won in the past then would you consider Wolves to be a 'bigger team' than QPR, Stoke or Fulham who have not won the FA Cup.
Surely it is about where you are now and not where you have been in the past?
And yes Leicester have done badly in the last few years but I would hardly say that surviving by a single place on the last day of the season and then being relegated is considered 'entertaining permier league football' unless you are talking about the opposition?^ ^ Premier league football is premier league football doesnt matter where you finish. Wolves may be in the same league as Derby and Leicester next season but they still must be considered a bigger club. Also just another little fact. Wolves and Leicester both got relegated from the Prem in the 03/04 season and which one of those has seen league 1 football, oh yeah thats right Leicester City have!So we went down to league one. I could name a number of ex-premier league teams that have spent time in league one. Nottingham forest for example - who are a more successful club than Wolves but have not "entertained" premier league crowds in a long time. Are they smaller than you?
I think you'll find you are only as big as the league you are in currently. You maye have been 'bigger' whilst you were entertaining premier league teams but now you're back down in the doldrums with us. Like it or not - currently you are as big as we are.Also, it kind of does matter where you finish - because if its 18th, 19th or 20th then its called 'championship football' the next season

 


07 Jun 2012 11:39:08
Rumour has it that Huddersfield Town are looking to sign either Emile Heskey or John Carew, both free agents, to partner Jordan Rhodes for next season. Also a bid for Blackpool's Barry Ferguson to bolster midfield(16)(22)You can have barry he as much use as heskeyOf course! Blackpool will sell there captain and he'd go to a team who'll be battling against relegation rather than promotionWouldnt pay heskey peanuts just same as all the old has beens that think they can finish their career in the campionship but miserably fail

Rumours have gone around that Liverpool are interested and are going to bid for Adam Johnson of Man. City for around 16m.
Gylfi Sigurdsson has also said in an interview that he would like to come to Liverpool, and if so, it will be a great boost to LFC midfield
24 year old Rasmus Elm chase for signing has been led by Liverpool. This attacking midfielder would also be a huge boost to their midfield and attack. Pay: 8m.

PLayers that Rodgers may want to offload:
-Maxi
-Spearing.. LOAN
-Kuyt(already sold)
-Joe Cole
-Aquilani

Rodgers has insisted that Luis Suarez WILL NOT BE SOLD!

Thats all I have heard and read:)(20)(12)Rumours go round Liverpool all of the time, normally delivered with the rock solid confidence of someone "in the know".

And then they don't happen.

To be honest, it's one of the things I miss.Dont people read the news cole is getting a chance lille wanted him n there president said hes staying at liverpool im not a liverpool fan btwJoe Cole will not be leaving Anfield. He is highly rated by Rodgers, see's his as a free alternative to Downing and as his transfer budget is limited (Compared to King Kenny) he doesn't wish to waste any in this area.He said joe cole is part of his plansThe manager has already stated that Cole and Aquilani will be given a chance to impress. So telling prokies.

Jordan Rhodes looks set to join Everton for 8.5million by the end of tomorrow(11)(35)He isn't worth anywhere near £8.5milYou're right, he's worth more than that!Since wen did everton have 8.5 mil?????Everton havent got that money haha unless they sell more like try and loan himThat would be very difficult as he is on a family holiday for another week yet!Total nonsense,he is going nowhere.Everton aint got 8.5 millionMoyes still away from Goodison at the Euro's so no one will sign until they are over. Rhodes/Beckford not enough quality for the prem.

Norway defensive midfielder Alexandra Tettey is thought to be on the plane to England after impressjng against England teams interested are Sunderland,Fulham and Southampton(5)(1)That would be a good signing. I thought he looked pretty good against us.Tettey was very good against England showing a superb range of passing as well as a grit while defending. Would be a decent replacement for Dickson Etuhu.

Craig Bellamy is getting on a plane to see the Malaysian owners of Cardiff City (before or after Olympics). He has been spotted around the Vale hotel and around the CCFC board members (like Alan Whiteley). He wants to leave Liverpool as he has personal issues with the new gaffer Brendan Rodgers.(19)(20)Probably just seeing his family and catching up with friends from cardiff city board. Would be great to see bellers back!Hope your right palAll believable, but could be the fact that he still has friends within ccfc, and he back in cardiff simply because he still lives here! does he have personal issues with a former swansea boss? possibilly! but hes professional enough to realise that if there were issues when rodgers was at swansea it was simply that! 2 rival teams and 2 men passionate about each others clubs!Nonsense, Bellers has no problem with Rodgers but he knows that he might not be in his plans and can accept that.

He's in talks with West Brom about a 1 season deal, and the incoming boss is happy to have Bellamy join.Yes it is believable, i dont think so probably because of his family but i hope he will come back, i dont think bellers will have a problem with rodgers after all he plays in a Wales team that have a few swansea players in it, he might give a bit of banter but he hasnt kicked off with any of them.How are we the next pompy do you read that the investment secures the club financally for yearsWell there is no guarantee that we will be able to make a deal with the langston corp

Steve Clarke will be appointed as West Brom boss in the next 48 hours and will bring Raheem Sterling on loan to The Hawthorns.(13)(6)Better than the German ! We need a coach not a manager cos Ashworth does the rest. He is a well respected coach. Forget Liverpool, he probably wasn't allowed to coach under Dalglish. Gotta be betta than RangnickExcuse me, but isn't this the same coach that was instrumental in Chelsea winning 2 Championships? The same coach that helped a poor Liverpool team to the 3rd meanest defence in the league and 2 major cup finals? Yeah ... he sounds really poor ... success ? No thanks !? What we need is a is someone who's never worked in England and has stress related issues ... Anyone who thinks he's a bad hire knows absolutely nothing about football.Would not read too much into this, Dan Ashworth is on holiday and Jeremy Peace has just returned,Steve Clarke left Anfield yesterday,If it takes Albion 6 weeks to finally get a nod from the German guy ,how is it they can set up Clarkes appointment in a matter of hours ? Nope this is speculation,the new guy will be a
Mr Santa Claus from the Lapland league and he will take up his new appointment once his rounds are finished on December 25th 2012,also he will be on a 12 month rolling contract that terminates 24th december2013 that will allow him to go back to his duties in Lapland in case it all goes t$ts up .Why has Clarke "gotta be better" than Rangnick?

metro(9)(20)You can't afford himCant see itYeah heard this too. he is unhappy with the changes made at the hawthorns and his contract wont let him to go another club. he wants to go to championship favourites charlton.What is it with Charlton fans?Im a charlton fan and i dont think this is true, do you have the link?What changes at the Hawthorns ? no one including the chairman knows what the hell,s going on.Would be an outstanding signing but why would he come to us?"What is it with Charlton fans?"

Yeah they want to sign players for Gods sake, I mean what is it with them."What is it with Charlton fans?"

what is it about us? obviously we are excited to be back in the championship, and just love trying to find people who could potentially sign for us. and whoever said we cant afford him, we're not poor, we've got money!

 


07 Jun 2012 10:15:26
James Ward-Prowse will join Burnley today on season loan(8)(9)Why would we want some seventeen year old who has not played a single league game for Southampton, he's more likely to go out on loan somewhere he will play week in week out at burnley he will not.Is there any evidence or just a hunch?I can't see that happening. We already have a couple of talented young midfielders, who should be given a chance to shine and not some young loanee.Very talented could break into burnleys first team

07 Jun 2012 10:07:38
Chris Hughton will make Curtis Davies his No. 1 transfer target to kick off his summer spending when he is named Norwich City boss

Source: The Daily Mail(18)(7)That would sort our deffence outDont bank on it, he is at best a decent championship defender, you should be looking at a better quality defender to allow you to kick on in the premiership,especially in your second season,really cannot see davies doing anything to improve your defence,i would hope to set my sights higher if i were a NCFC fan.Do you even know what you are talking about? Take for example:

1) Whitbread - did brilliantly for us this season, we signed him and he played Championship football for 1 season for Norwich, before adapting successfully to the Premier League. Proven.

2) Ayala. Wasn't good enough for Liverpool supposedly, played in the Championship on loan at Hull and Derby. Didn't play for large portions of last season because of injury, but on the times that he did appear, he was commended on his performances. Still very young, one for the future no doubt.

3) Ryan Bennett. Signed from Peterborough in January, having played Championship football. Very young, but has so much potential, assured and composed for such an age, star quality no doubt. Brilliant signing for just £3m.

Therefore, a player who was in the Championship Team of the Year, would definitely improve our defence, and no doubt would be available more often that Whitbread who was injured often!

McNally sign him up!

Besides, even our convertee, R.Martin (usually plays RB), is pretty damn good at CB nowdays.Whitbread has left on a free (no, I don't know why either), Ayala can't string more than 3 games together, and Ward is too slow for Prem. Can see Martin and Bennett being a decent pairing, but they do lack that aerial dominance that we need against some teams. Davies would be a decent squad addition, but I would rather be looking at Dann or Johnson from the relegated teams if we could get them. And Fletcher if we need to replace Holt.Norwich cant afford fletcher's 4m price tag. staying at wolves as he believes is a bigger club with better supportersGood idea that taking defenders who were conceding lot's last season and have a losing mentality when we could sign Davies from a club with a great defensive record and a winning mentality

Stoke will be watching the Liverpool Lucas situation VERY closely. Lucas could well be out of favour with Rogers as he may find it hard to regain his first team position after coming back from injury. Stoke's new central partnership for the 2012/13 season could well be Palacios and Lucas. {Ed025's Note - in your dreams..(8)(16)Is this the same Lucas that all Liverpool fans were saying was their player of the season had it not been for injuries? No offence, but if Lucas did become available due to change in manager, im sure higher calibre clubs would be on the radar...

Right on ed!Im a stoke fan and i know we wont get lucas, at the moment hes just too good, but we are an up and coming club, no chance of getting him. cant wait to see all the losers come on here and start slagging stoke off thoughStoke tried to sign Lucas when Liverpool fans were on his back ......agree with the above though, no chance now. Have heard that they are keen on Bellamy again though.Its speculatory name dropping by our local paper as to who'd fit our team, simple as...
Same article says Paul Robinson and Ryan Nelsen would also fit our team but I don't notice there names ending up on here and TribalFootball etc...Lucas wud get in any team in the world, shud we be deluded enough to want rid (dream on) he wud hav the pick of the lot, so no disrespect to stoke who i rate, shift targetI would of said Crouch was too good for us but we signed him. We need a couple of higher calibre players to bring this club to better places

Morocco and Montpellier midfielder Younes Belhanda (France's Young Player of the Year) is set to complete the move to the lane in the next few days. The transfer fee is rumoured to be in the region of £2.5million. After the recent loss in the play-off final, Kevin McCabe decided a fresh investment was what was needed, and has issued a formal statement saying that he is happy to see his money spent on a worthwhile cause. Good investment methinks?(3)(14)Absolutely not, he is worth WELL over 2.5million,HA this is the stupidest thing i've ever heard, if this happens i'll buy you your season ticket for the next ten yearsOf course the French player of the year is going to Sheffield United, what are you smoking. He's being linked with some of Europe's top clubs, and is worth a lot more than 2.5 millionMore like 25mil

Jay Rod looks set to join SFC today, as gutted as i am it looks like we have a good deal with 6.5m in full plus Richard Chaplow

Thanks Jay and good luck(19)(11)Il be gutted if Chaplow is part of the deal as the guy is a fantastic player and team member can't wait to see jay rod in a saints shirtWont get chaplow !Not sure on the Chaplow part. Know he's on holiday with the family in the Algarve. And previously stated he wanted to stay at SaintsRichard Chaplow is not part of the deal. Been confirmed by the player.It's a straight up £6.75M Cash no player involved :)The deal is cash only. Burnley are getting more than enough cash to buy replacements.

Crawley Town are to announce the signing of Alan Connell from Swindon next week after Paolo told him he is surplus to requirements. the fee is in the region of 150k(14)(10)He was Swindon`s best striker last season till Benson came and he was their joint top scorer. Don`t know which newspapers you`ve been readingDoubt it, not league 1 standardNot div 1 quality and not worth 150kTake their hand off, he's too lightweight & didn't have the pace or skill to make up for it. Decent eye for goal though & put's in a shiftDidn't look so lightweight when he played Wigan in the cup and he played a big part in Swindons promotion this season.Worth every penny of £150k and a lot more. Goals/games ratio is amazing. Some people have not got a clue.I would drive him there for 150k, hard worker but hasn't got the ability for League 1. If he was good enough he would have been a regular starter last year, good impact sub at best!I don't think he is league 1 standard. We picked him up on a free transfer after he was bombed out of Bournemouth and he did ok here but he is hardly prolific. Think his record was a goal every 10 games for Bournemouth

Quinn being considered by Coventry and he has said he would prefer to go to Coventry as got better History.Ha ha ha ha...better history? Lol that's given me a right laugh!Previous poster, that's such a joke! Ipswich have an extraordinary history and had managers like sir Alf and sir Bobby. Plus if Quinn had the opportunity to go up a division to the championship, then why would he decide to stay in league 1?Itfc have a far better history and produced two of the finest english managers of all time , he off to itfc , fee agreedBetter history !Coventry better history than Ipswich? - can't recall them winning the uefa cup or supplying 2 england managers - but they did win the FA Cup (oh but so did Ipswich). Still I am surethat the lure of remaining in League 1 will swing things in Cov's favour!I've heard the Coventry rumour too only that he says it's not the history but the fact that it's ambitious with it's approach for the future whereas Ipswich aren't.Ha...this Coventry joker is hilarious! I couldn't care less if he does go to you but to say you are more ambitious and have plans for future...LOL. whatever mate. Bovvered?!And whos the one in league one

paul jewell expected to tie up neil harris and dele adebola transfer to ipswich this week(4)(22)Highly doubt either of these are happening.I dont think so mate get your fact straightNothing is happening at town for a couple of weeks at least so go take your bull elsewhere make stuff up about Norwich like chris houghton is our guardian angel as he takes norwich to new LOW levels ha he is as useless as a chocolate radiatorAnd jewell is a glass hammer 2years in championship hughton walked the title an made play offs jewell would just like to finish in top half but as we all know that hasnt happened for decadesYou budgies make me laugh....... Did you not see the squads he had with both n'castle and birmingham! To be honest it was embaressing he didn't get them up this year! As for Paul jewell he has a better record then a lot of other managers at taking teams to the prem and keeping them there!I don't think ipswich fans should lament Norwich. They are currently doing a LOT better than them and with hughton in place look safe for next season as he will keep them there with the budget he's been given of c. 16m. Coming from Celtic fan so no bias.

Brighton are chasing rivals right back Nathaniel Clyne as he is out of contract at palace and currently unwilling to extend.(2)(36)Good luck as man u and Newcastle are in talks with him.No chance. Host of Premiership clubs after him.No chance he will either go to a big club or a mid table prem team where he will get chance for regular first team football, he won't join another championship sideWould be a MASSIVE backwards step in his career.Even as a brighton fan I have to laugh at this one. Way to high a profile to come to us now. Zaha though is a different matter, wants to continue his education by learning from noone

Nottingham forest will confirm that they have been brought by mega rich billionaire fawaz al-hawasi in the next 24hrs. Al-hawasi will soon get to work by sacking steve cotterill and appointing neil warknock as manager. Warnock will be given a large.transfer kitty to get forest promotion. From what I hear, paddy kenny and robert snodgrass will be his 1st signings...(23)(41)Not that large as the fair play rules will only allow 5 million plus sales... And for the players they have it won't be much in sales, and they would need 20 million minimum to look even a tiny bit better'...from what you hear...'

and where abouts did you hear this?You might have money but who wud want to go to nottingham forest!You can only use money that you make and seeing as you have been left in massive debt you at the moment can only spend what you sell.You wish!!Yes fair play rules state the 5 mil spend plus sales, but it also states on revenue coming into the club, ie sponsorships etc. At the moment forest sponser deals have expired. A loop hole in the fair play rules is the re naming of the ground which will be exploited (like at leicester). But I have on good authority that the new owner to be is planning on building a new ground! If all goes to plan it looks like a very bright future at forest.Al-hawasi not even been in touch with Forest owners, but Cotterill intrested in Krystian Pearce - Malony swop deal.Also ffp rules don't come into play untill 2013/14 season so forest can still get out of this league before thenWait till friday buddy doughty family love forest their is no debtAnother rumour that has no substance, there is no way they would sack Cotterall and replace him with Warnock.

Reading have enquired about taking young Raheem Sterling on a season long loan. Reading are hoping that they will be able to build a link between the two clubs especially since Ex-Reading boss Brendan Rodgers left Reading on good terms despite being fired. There will be no end of season fee and a call back clause has been included. Raheem Sterling is not in Rodgers immediate plans Brendan is hoping to utilise Readings reputation of getting the best out of young players. Long and Doyle being the main examples.(18)(12)Rodgers has said that all his players are to be given an equal chance, so this is garbage.That does not garbage this. Raheem Sterling is a big part of his long term plans, but he doesn't feel he is ready yet. Rodgers is set to do what all Premier League clubs do with their best young talent who are not yet ready for the chance to shine consistently and loan them to a lower club. Cleverely for United and Miyachi for Arsenal are a prime example of clubs doing it.You'd be surprised with Rodgers and Reading. He's good terms with McDermott and Madejski but don't expect any favours whilst Nigel Howe is still at the club.Dear Ed, I posted this and Rodgers has turned down the offer. He wants to keep Raheem Sterling around at the club after he impressed in training and Rodgers now wants to drill his passing philosophy into him as he feels Sterling can flourish at Anfield.

Expect no more from this front.

Francois Zoko and Alex Cisak to be confirmed as Watford players by next week.(7)(14)Sorry mate Zoko was seen at Deepdale on Monday.Are they out of contract?Bit of paceSo because he was seen at Deepdale, it means he's signing does it? Why play in Div 1 when he could play in the Championship!Zoko is out of contract. Left Carlisle because he wants to play at a higher level so I dunno why he'd be going to Preston...

Former dundee united centre half garry kenneth has been offered contracts from aberdeen , hearts , hibs , sheffield united , blackburn,coventry with bristol city , sheffield wed , leeds and blackpool along with a host of unnamed turkish clubs all interested . overheard a conversation with his agent today at the landmark hotel in dundee .
kenneth has also been working on his fitness running the sidlaw mountains and lots of long hours in the gym in order to secure himself a deal as he had a few niggling injuries which stopped him from being at full fitness and would prefer sorting it out sooner rather than later for family reasons(5)(13)Gary Kenneth is the worst center half to ever have played proffesional football so there is no chance any of the above have offered him a contract..! He would be lucky to get a game for Junior side Lochee United haha..!Where have you been for the past month? Newcastle Utd have been sniffing around for weeks!

Bigirimana is a decent young player, but he is still very young (only just 18) and would benefit from at least another year in the first team at Coventry City...

However, I am sure that SISU (Cov's owners) will accept anything above £500k... SISU are notoriously poor at valuing players... They have sold several key players at a fraction of their true value. In my opinion Bigirimana would be worth ten times as much if they held onto him for a couple of seasons!Ian Black of Hearts is out of contract and has been offered a few deals by various English Championship clubs including Bristol City, Derby and Shef Wed so far. He's going to talk next week when back from his hols.
Although a bit of a hot head he has been outstanding 2nd half of the season for hearts and a Scotland cap would be no surprise. Whoever gets him have got a classy player similar to Barry Ferguson. There were rumours he was going to Rangers but not true, I know his family.Would do a job for hearts , him and webster at the back were solid for united think he is off down south though game there will suit him more i feel

Who would you rather up top if we do sign a striker this window? De Jong or Giroud? For me Giroud all day! The daily mail is also reporting QPR have come in with a bid (LOL) but more importantly there saying he has a £12.8million pounds release clause, Surely we should make a move for him. Class Striker! {Ed015's Note - Up top for whom, dear boy?}(4)(1)Reading or saints fan n btw its a 50 million pound release clauseEd - qpr have reportedly bid for him


Baggy boyNah mate its a 12.8mil clause montpellier president said he is worth 50milEh no its a 12.8m release clause. that ridiculous 50m figure is what club chairman rates him at.Giroud at QPR would be good but don't think he will move since Montpellier are in champions league next year

Derby county

we have released 12 players and 7 transfer listed and someone said yesterday we are only getting a striker.

Rubbish the only transfer nigel has come out to speak of is Michael Jacobs who is a winger and with the amount of interviews hes done on him he clearly wants him badly.

These are Derbys targets

Lb
Paul dixon or Joe mattock or Aidy White

Cb
Krystian Pearce or Karleigh Osbourne

Cm
Fegor Ogude
Andrew tutte or Ashley westwood


Winger
Michael jacobs
Daniel Powell or Jon Taylor

Striker
Johnny Russell
Will grigg or Just using youth players

This is There targets no point disagreeing
i have not said we are getting messi.These players are well into the budget nigel has been given and he has mentioned these before.I only know that Official contact has been made with Michael Jacobs and Krystian Pearce.

I repeat Derby are Not getting Mustapha
Carayole it was Middlesborough who were the Unnamed Bidder.John Daly has been decided agianst due to his Lack of experience outside of the Spl for his age.
The other player Havard Nielsen from Norway is one of the Most Exciting Talents in norway so Derby wont be getting him whilst still in the championship.

Fegor Ogude for those who disagree about it.He has been sitting on the bench
for 3/4 of the season not because hes not good enough but because the team wanted let youngsters play a bigger part
in a interview that is easily found on the Norway football forum he had said he wants to leave if he was to have another season of being left out so Valerenga fc said they couldnt promise him that and transfer listed him offering for 500k.As many of you football fans probally play Fifa and have seen his stats and think he is amazing the stats are way overated he got that because he scored a hatrick in a
9-0 thrashing agianst a lower league Norwegian side.Nigel feels that derby are lacking a strong Anchor man and had Enquire about Nottingham Forests Guy Moussi but it was turned down so when they had a scouting trip in norway which im led to believe was for academy players.
As some derby fans no about Mat Morch
They were told by football experts over there of Ogudes situatuion of him being unhappy.Anyone saying he wont get a work permit he has already got one he has played in norway for 6 years and is classed as a Norwegian Citzen therefore can travel anywhere in The Eu.

Due to the improvement made this
season with the highest finish under
Nigel.The Board have offered 1.8 million
before transfer sales and with 6 first
team players listed you should see that
rise to 4 million but Nigel dosent want
spend anywhere near all of that but
to get suitable targets which still
allows him to introduce youth.

If anyone knows of any other players/targets reply or you care to disagree reply.(6)(21)

07 Jun 2012 00:29:58
George Boyd to sign for Charlton Athletic on a free as his contract has expired, sources from other fans say he has signed a pre-contract so that means on the 1st of July he'll be officially ours and no one can get him, watch this space!!(3)(28)He has one year left on his contract and the top championship clubs are looking at him, so wrong and why would he?Really need to brush up on players Boyd still has a year left on his contract get your cheque book out if you want him he was going three years ago but DMac got him to stay expect negotiations in Portugal again ....As previously stated Boyd has a year left on his contract you plank. Don't you just love people who haven't got a clue!Sorry, I know he's ex-charlton but, he's just not good enough.

Who are 'top' championship sides in the closed season I wonder?He's is going to charlton this guy had got it wrong but he IS coming to us for 300k-650k he wants to come back to London and he supports palace so he'll be back home"why would he?"

LOL where to start! We are a club that are on the up again and Peterborough are heading in the opposite direction. We have more money, bigger fan base, better stadium and a better team. It's his home club one taught him his trade.

Yeah why would he!To the Charlton fan,
I support Wednesday and everyone one here is.saying were both carp clubs and will be relegated. They think every player wants to go with them as most are ipswich fans they are is a stay on championship side wi no ambition just like most of them. I know we will do well next season and good luck to your too.I was at the away game, impressed with the stadium (My first visit), congrats to you!Ditto Wednesday fan, top 2 is taken already before the season has started, and I thnk you know how I'm putting in the top two :)))))) CAFC SWFCHe's not good enough for us, no offence to him but i've seen him play a few times. all i know is that he wants out of p'boro.

 


07 Jun 2012 00:29:33
Preston have offered francois zoko a two-year contract to join the revolution .(12)(14)Your correct. He was seen at Deepdale on MondayNo they have not on the carlisle web site zoke wants to play at an higher levelJust because he may want to stay at Carlisle or even move somewhere else..... that wouldn't prevent Preston from offering him a contract, would it?If he wants to play at s higher level than Carlisle he could go to Macc.

 


06 Jun 2012 23:37:23
Bury look poised to re-sign former player Andy Parrish should youngster Andrai Jones fail to sign a contract extension. Parrish will be used as a utility defender.(7)(2)Hope andrai jones signs new contract good young playerThis is a non starter
Clippity is a good league two defender and has a good offer from Fleetwood

 


06 Jun 2012 23:49:55
Steve Clarke to be unveiled as the new West Brom head coach by the weekend. A good move by the Baggies me thinks.....just a few player issues to sort out(21)(9)I don't. He contributed to one of Liverpools worst season positions in ages - he was not much good for Zola either as I recall. Clearly scraping the barrel in my opinion coz they cannot think of anyone else. Hughton not coming because of compensation payment. I would'nt be surprised if they had to pay for their own tracksuit when they take the job. Sorry, but this is madnessTotally agree with these comments Surely to god there is somebody out there. It really is a gamble on someone who has never managed before. Not happyThis has got disaster written all over it. I would like to see us approach Hughton and pay the compensation fee. It has to be worth it surely?Totally agree , Downing said we were to sign a big name, what a load of tripe that statement turned out, we missed the bus on managers now we will be left standing at the bus stop when the transfer window opens,what kind of message does this send out to prospective players or trying to get new fans to the club,once more the fans have been shafted by Peace just to appease his pension pot,if this does turn out to be true ,I hope all the happy clappers at the Hawthorns who have supported Peace then go on to sing his name out as Albion go the same way as the Wolves,no ambition....Peace..OUT.WON'T be impressed with this appointment of it happens! No managerial experience, and as the person above stated, was part of a Liverpool set up during a very very poor couple of seasons by their standards! And players like Olsson and mulumbu definitely won't want to stay unless a 'name' is brought in....oh well....down the prem we slip

Baggy boyA great decision... To go DOWN ffsI take it all with a pinch of salt until an anouncement of the new manager comes out on the official site! Has Rangnick actually said he doesn't want the job as he was given til friday to make his choice. Ranieri was odds on favourite the other week and that was never going to happen. I'd be surprised if SC got the job!Absolutely pathetic! We're a top 10 club who want to push on and be a force to reckon with. Here more than ever the board needed to prove they had ambition and bring in a proven, quality and respected manager. Not only for the team to push on but also to retain some key players by proving we're going somewhere. So so stupid, Peace is looking for parachute payments in my opinion. Absolutely ridiculous! It's taken Norwich a number of days to get a manager, we've been waiting for months!!I think your forgetting that he had great success at Chelsea with 2 titles, 1 fa cup and then 2 league cups, yeh he has absolutely no experience.....
