To the people who think Ibrahimavic is going to Man City –

"The deal he signed with Barcelona includes a buy–out clause of 250m euros (£216m) for the player." quote from BBC Sport when Ibra signed for Barcelona.

And for that reason I don't think he will go to City, Barca have stated many times that he is not for sale. .
Man City will tempt Barcelona with a 265 million pound bid.

Forest have may have pulled out of the whitts and pratley deal's due to other clubs intrests and the fact that each club does not want to do business with them. forest have offered them good deals but both clubs are basically taking the micky now.


Also forest have identified another talant in europe, forest might be willing to take chance on him as the whitts and pratley 'seems dead' and also the fact the majewski and moussi deal's were so successfully.

Sorry no evidence yet but a few months ago there was reports we was signing a promising left back from sweeden so it may be in the same place or close by.

Cardiff City would 'love' to sign Craig Bellamy amid reports the Manchester City striker will join the Championship club on loan.

Bellamy appears poised to leave City before the close of the transfer window as he is not expected to be part of Roberto Mancini's 25–man squad for the Premier League season.

He was not involved in Saturday's 0–0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur and has been linked with a move to several clubs.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp appears to have conceded defeat in his bid to sign the 31–year–old and had suggested Bellamy would link up with former City boss Mark Hughes at Fulham.
Celtic had also been linked with a move for Bellamy, while Dave Jones felt Cardiff were outsiders to sign the attacker.

However, it is now understood that the Wales international will join home–town club Cardiff on a six–month loan and the deal will be confirmed on Monday.

A Cardiff spokesman said: "With the number and the names of the clubs being mentioned in connection to Craig it is flattering that we are an option, but at this stage it is pure speculation.

"Being connected to a player of this calibre shows how far we have come, to be even considered in a deal like this.

"We would love it to happen of course, but we are by no means alone in this."


HE HAS NOT SIGNED, ESPECIALLY IF READ LAST BIT, WE WOULD LOVE IT TO HAPPEN OF COURSE BUT WE ARE BY NO MEANS ALONE IN THIS, USE SHOUD OF WENT TO SPECSAVERS. . .???????/(19)(62)

Plymouths Reda johnson is wanted by a host of premiership clubs, Tottenham have thrown Argyle a few sweetners loan wise lately, so white hart lane may be a good bet, Argyles board would be unwise to let him leave for less than 1 million as the fan backlash would be huge, therefore any person quoting 500k to their club should do their homework first.(13)(13)

Burnley are favourites to sign cardiff ace peter whittingham, he has had a loan spell at burnley before and said he would welcome the chance to return to the north west. cardiff still need the money to slightly help them clear there debts. burnley and nottingham forest are the favourites to sign him but forest have already had a bid rejected but burnley are prepared to really tempt cardiff with a 2 million bid which will be made tomorrow. burnley are also going to make a bid for derby striker rob hulse which will give the clarets better options upfront.(10)(34)

Jordan Rhodes to Palace looks very unlikely now with Huddersfueld wanting 2.5 million and Palace only prepared to pay 1 million. Therefore attentions have been turned to Charlie Austin and a Bournmeouth striker. Neil Danns has been given 10 days to decide whether he wants to sign new deal with Anthony Wordsworth earmarked as his replacement should he continue to stall. Southamptons Paul Wotton will be in Beckenham tomorrow to speak to Burley about possible loan deal.(9)(19)

Bradley Wright Phillips to Southampton!

Deal to be done within a few days(26)(54)

 

 15 Aug 2010 17:13:26
Just heard from my mate who works at Ibrox that Jelavic has now came to an agreement with Rapid on his pay off and will fly to Glasgow tomorrow for a medical and sign a 3 year contract worth 16,000 a week.

Conway will not move to Rangers from Dundee Utd, and neither will Goodwillie after the capture of Jelavic.

Walter will then look to bring in Benaloune the St Etienne centre half for £1/£1.25m as they expect a late bid for Bougherra in the region of £5m and they will not be able to turn this down, as the player is looking to leave even although he saying otherwise in the press. The only other addition will be the Arsenal player who plays left wing & is on trial at the moment.

have you not heard about the Ronaldinho link to Spurs?

{Editor's Note: Milan are praising his pre–season form, interest has been shown by LA Galaxy and there was talk of going back to Brazil. A couple of Turkish sides took notice, and there could even be options in the Middle East. North London and a nice little flat in Enfield – I just can't see it.}(12)(38)

Celtic FC News

Peter lawwell has contacted manchester city over a loan move for shay given and with paradise being his preffered destination and considering manhester city do not want to loan/sell players to teams they see as competition this one is likely to happen. Another manchester city who is very close to a loan signing with celtic is vladmir weiss, the talented youngster is being allowed to go out on loan to gain first team football and with celtic still in the europa league it would be a good move. Also the craig bellamy saga, celtic are still very interested but it is completely down to the player whether he wants to play for celtic or fulham, expect an outcome by next weekend – hopefully he is heading north! But if he decides to reunite with mark hughes for the third time, talks between celtic and birmingham will begin with McFadden stating he wants to return to the SPL one day and he is proud of his roots, however i am not sure if mcfadden is the right player for celtic at this moment??. As Neil lennon has/is continuing with deals at man city swedish defender daniel – don't want to attempt his second name – has been completing a medical over the weekend and will probably be announced on monday and finally a honduras left back is jetting into glasgow to take a look rond parkhead with his agent stating that they are in advanced discussions and close to a deal – i am especially happy with a new left back coming in as charlie mulgrew has far from impressed me.

With players like given, weiss, bellamy and mcfadden i think there may be a little bit of thunder on the way!

Hail Hail! ConnorBhoy!(124)(83)

WEST HAM TRANSFER NEWS

West Ham are set to complete the signing of Loic Remy in the next week for a fee of around £12m, which West Ham will agree to pay £7.5m upfront. He is being flown in on Monday to discuss terms and complete a medical.

Felipe Caicedo has virtually signed on loan, and if impressive will be made into a permanent signing next summer for £2.5m.

But this is the interesting one – watch out for West Ham making a move for Marseille's Hatem Ben Arfa. After failing to get Sulejmani and Ben Arfa's wish to move away from the French team, West Ham are attempting to gazump Newcastle. He will be given the No. 21 shirt which will be taken from the outgoing Behrami.(26)(36)

FRESH UPDATE FROM SPURS. .

Redknapp has given up on Bellamy, nzogbia fee has been agreed instead.

Gallas will sign if spurs get a positive result on Tuesday night.

Huge deal for Forlan is in place and as above, depends on qualification being secured (will have to wait 2 weeks though!)

Keane and Jenas are available but will not go for less than 8 million each.

Piennar might be involved in a swap deal for either of above or Bentley. (all long term everton targets)

No Villa players are targets, Young was but Villa will not sell.

Last but not least, as i have said before, there are a couple of stonking deals lined up providing spurs qualify in 2 weeks. Ronaldinho is one of them. .sounds far fetched but Levy has tried such deals before (Morientes in his prime, Rivaldo etc)

Patience my friends. . . huge last few days of window to come. .(23)(57)

I have heard so many names like subotic, metersaker, cahill, and so on. there is one name that has been coming and going in the last couple of years (phillip mexes) I have heard a few words been spoken around the club again regarding him and really think he will join arsenal. He is what we need he is strong fast and big He will cost around 7–10 million full of expirience if you agree push the button and if you don't push unbeliveble.

Fantastic News for my fellow Rangers fans, i've posted a few times that all the stumbling blocks over the Jelavic deal was Rapid stalling for bigger interest, this hasn't happened and here you have it, the deal is back on.

Rapid officials today got in touch wit ibrox informing us the dispute between themselves and the player was now settled and inquired if Rangers were still interested (i assume they heard of the Beattie signing)

In terms of the players wage demans being a problem, he is currently on 4k a week, my understanding is he wanted something close to 30k a week from gers, i don't think we'll give him this but i'm sure he'll settle for the the 15k + bonuses, which we can offer as it more than triples his salary and gives him a huge stage on which to showcase his ability as its no seret he wants to play in in prem.

Expect this deal to be done before the tie against villa.(85)(112)

RANGERS LATEST

Strong rumours that Rangers set to sign David Goodwillie AND Craig Conway from Dundee Utd in a £2.5m double deal. Possibility it could be £2m plus Webster. If he is included Smith will move to snap up Yohan Benaloune from St.Etienne for around £1m.

Nikica Jelavic WILL be a Rangers player before Thursday. Rapid know they cannot afford to play him in their Europa League match, thus knocking best part of £2m off his value to interested suitors. They will not risk letting him sit tight and sign a pre–contract in January when there is £4m on the table.

Only other business, and this seems pretty much certain, Alan Hutton back from Spurs on loan. Initially till January but Gers hopefull of securing him for the season.

Source Ssn"

When did he say Real Madrid is his preferred destination over united? NEVER. In Fact he has never uttered the word real madrid in that thing on SSN. All he says again that he would like to move to a top european side. Nothing else. And real madrid is the only REPORTED bidder. United are playing hardball because they know that real don't want to pay the asking price nor do united. And when he will be on free in jan united will have the advantage with regular first team football due to scholes and giggs retiring. My bet is he will play in the champions league qualifier, bremen will win and take the 20mil from UEFA and then he will be going on a free to united in jan.(48)(28)

To Early'B:
Stop Coping and Pasting onto this site you imberseal!

Anyway, onto rumours –

Man City are going to have to reduce their squad numbers by 14 when they sign Milner from Villa. The names going out will be:

Given (after Hart claimed the NO.1 jersey) – arsenal need a keeper, however Wenger looks likely to sign Schwarzer from Fulham, so Given to Fulham to replace Schwarzer??

Bridge – will not be going to Liverpool after they resigned Aurelio, but Sunderland I hear are interested

M.Johnson – Bolton need a Centre–Midfielder, so maybe they would be interested? Newcastle are also interested in him, but maybe not have the money to sign, so if he went to Newcastle it would be on a loan.

Ireland – will more than likely be part of the swap deal that brings Milner to City

Bellamy – Mark Hughes as already stated his desire to bring Bellamy to Craven Cottage, and has a good relationship with Bellamy, so a 5–7 million pound deal looks on.

Santa Cruz – Is too injury prone for a lot of Managers to take a risk on, but Sam Alladyce has intentions of bringing Roque back to Ewood Park. Stoke were interested but they signed Kenwyne Jones instead.

Lescott – The biggest casaulty of City's Squad Chop after his 24million pound move last year. He would be available for around about half of that money and Spurs are interested, however City don't want to sell to their rivals

Jo – Will be going abroad or to Avrams Grants West Ham. I think it will be abroad, unless Grant sells Carlton Cole to Liverpool, then Jo could go there

Caiecado – Again, a loan deal to Avram Grants West Ham is inevitable

Richards – Spurs want him for 8 million, but City want 10 and aren't going to sell to their rivals. Liverpool are reportedly interested, and shockingly Man Utd are too! I think Liverpool is the best option

SWP – A lot of teams interested in Shaun, these include Everton, Sunderland, Villa (if young goes to Spurs) and Stoke. Sunderland do need a right winger and SWP would be a good signing for them. Villa are doubtful because I think Young is going to stay. Everton, personally, have too many midfielders but Stoke has cash to splash. So Sunderland and Stoke are the two which are going to go for SWP.

Adebayor – A lot depends of Luis Fabiano. There are only two teams chasing Fabiano now, AC Milan and Marsielle. Whichever one of these teams DOESN'T get Fabiano will bid for Adebayor.

De Jong/Barry – I don't know which one of these two will go. They will not want to drop out of the Europa League, and Chelsea, Man U, Spurs, and Villa are not interested.That Means Arsenal and Liverpool are the two teams interested. Arsenal do need a central defensive midfield player but Wenger is stubborn and will not spend about 10–12 million on one of these players. Liverpool, however, although they have signed Poulsen, will want a younger player already with Premier League experience so these two players fit the bill.

Boyata (only a loan) – Boyata will be sent out on loan to gain Premier League experience. He will most likely go to either West Brom or Blackpool, with Blackpool being the favourites for his signatures.

Please feel free to comment

Ed, your views?? {Editor's Note: My view is that Manchester City will have problems unloading all of these players at even a reasonable transfer fee, and then the problem will occur where the players are unable to have their wage demands met. This could mean players left in limbo by not being included in a team's squad – an interesting scenario for the PFA and at least one lawyer I know to be rubbing his hands and waiting for this to happen.}

The list of availables is Rory Fallon, Steve mclean, luke summerfield, chris clark, Bradley wright phillips, carl fletcher, Karl duguid. Reid will then be allowed to spend on 3 players with Ryan Harley, a new striker, and a right back priorities. The squad is being aimed at the 22 mark.

I don't now what the hype is about Real, i don't rate them and think again theyle win nothing this season. I feel the biddings from all other clubs will start to come in next week. I don't really think United has tabled a bid yet but have shown interest in him. If Real up thier bid, he will go there or concider other bids.(26)(33)

Hi all

as i said the other day everton had asked craig bellamys agent to keep them updated on future developments, moyes will be meeting with bellamy either today or tommorow, man city are willing to loan him out for a year to a non top 6 club, strangely enough they'll consider everton, liverpool have also requested the agent to keep them updated on bellamy as it hots up, mark hughes is also intrested in taking bellamy but the man city want a certain contribution of his wages to met, not sure if fulham can meet these demands though.

looks like its a straight 3 way fight between liverpool, fulham and everton

Sunday Mirror Sport ­revealed last week that United were refusing to meet Werder Bremen's £12million valuation on Germany playmaker Ozil, despite Sir Alex Ferguson making a trip to Fulham to check on the player in a pre–season friendly.
With only one year left on Ozil's contract, United are willing to pay only £8m – and that has given Chelsea and Real Madrid the edge in the race to sign him.
That has forced Ferguson to cast his net elsewhere – and 27–year–old Meireles is now on United's radar.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is considering a move for French international youngster Mamadou Sakho as he continues to plan for the future but may find that he has a battle on his hands as Arsenal are known to be monitoring the progress of the Paris St Germain defender.

Having brought in young starlets Chris Smalling and Javier Hernandez this summer there is a definite sense that the Old Trafford boss is looking to bring in young talents instead of spending astronomical sums on established players. Whether this is as a result of the financial problems the Premier League side is experiencing or not those two buys already look like very good investments.

Mamadou Sakho has stated his desire to leave his Ligue 1 side and has had a number of run in with journalists in France leading many to believe that the talented Parisian could be ready to make a move away from the club he has been at since the age of 12.

Valued at around £12m Sakho has been a solid performer in his last two seasons at the Parc des Princes and has fought his way to the fringes of the senior French side and is considered one of the hot prospects of European football. He is an adaptable defender who is immense in the centre of defence but can also do a good job at left back.

SOURCE NEWS OF THE WORLD. SEEMS LENNON HAS MADE GIVEN HIS PRIORITY FOR NEXT SIGNING

Shay's the No1 target

CELTS ARE SET TO SLUG IT OUT WITH FULHAM TO LAND REPUBLIC OF IRELAND No1

By Andrew Graham, 15/08/2010

NEIL LENNON has launched a sensational bid to bring want–away Manchester City goalie Shay Given to Celtic.

The Bhoys are set to slug it out with Fulham to land the Republic of Ireland No 1 who lost his first team place to England's Joe Hart yesterday on the opening day of the English Premiership season.

City–boss Roberto Mancini ended weeks of speculation when he gave Hart the nod yesterday and relegated 34–year–old Given to the bench for City's crunch visit to Spurs.

Hart responded with a five star performance to cement his position as City's new No 1 and left Given in no doubt he must move to get regular first team football.

The Irish keeper has made it clear he would seek a move if he was forced to play second fiddle to Hart.

That prompted frantic activity from the Hoops, whose Chief Executive Peter Lawwell made contact with City chiefs to swiftly register his interest in Given.

The Hoops have been monitoring Given's plight for some time and see him as the answer to their goalkeeping headache after Lukasz Zaluska failed to fill the gloves after Artur Boruc's £2 million move to Fiorentina.

Ironically, Given was once binned by the Parkhead club when Lou Macari refused to agree to the youngster's request for a pay rise when he was Celtic's youth keeper.

That opened the door for Kenny Dalglish to snap up Given for Blackburn Rovers. But Lennon has been informed Given holds Macari solely responsible and would welcome a move back to his boyhood heroes.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger would love to take Given to the Emirates but knows City would never sell to a title rival. Wenger believes he has a better chance of landing Aussie Mark Schwarzer who wants Fulham to let him move to the Gunners.

Mark Hughes could give that transfer the green light if he can persuade City to sell Given to the Cottagers. But, Celtic are confident they can pull off the transfer coup of the summer by persuading City to loan them Given and Craig Bellamy!(54)(58)

Daniel Majstorović signs for Celtic
32 Year Old Daniel Majstorović has signed for Celtic on a two year deal.
He comes from Greek side AEK Athens on bosman due to his contract expiring. He joined AEK in 2008 and has been a regular ever since, he has also played 35 games for Sweden since 2003 and played for Sweden when they beat Scotland 3–0.

He has been described as a solid Center back/sweeper. Strangely one season at Basel he finished the season with 11 goals, the second best goalscorer at the club due to his physical presence in the box during corners.
I think this is the sort of player we need, he might be old but he has experience and help bring some consistency to the Celtic defense. The paper goes on to say that he will sign a two year deal after a medical tomorrow.

Newcastle United are keen on Saint–Etienne centre back Yohan Benalouane.
The 23–year–old has also been tracked West Ham, Rangers and Sevilla, but Newcastle seem most determined to land him, according to French newspaper L'Equipe.
Saint–Etienne hope Benalouane will sign a contract extension, but may be tempted to cash in as the 6ft 1in defender has just 12 months left on his current deal.

SCOTLAND ACE SAYS HE WILL RETURN TO SCOTLAND TO PLAY


By Kenny MacDONALD, 15/08/2010

JAMES McFADDEN has said for the first time he WILL return to Scotland to play.

The Scotland ace has again been linked with a move to boyhood favourites Celtic.

McFadden, 27, still has a year of his Birmingham contract to go. He admitted: "I'll definitely play in Scotland again, it's just a matter of when."

Faddy's well aware From of constant Celtic rumours but he insisted: "I've not had any texts about it.

"In fact, it's probably the quietest it's ever been from that point of view.

"I have been away from Scotland for seven years but every six months or so it rears its head.

"As far as I know, there's nothing in it."

McFadden is ready to return to his homeland should the opportunity arise.

He added: "I'll come back one day. I'm Scottish and proud of my roots.

"I will move back to Scotland to live, I just don't know when it will be.

"I said before I was dead against coming back to play in Scotland and at that time I was – but I never said I would never EVER like to play in Scotland again.

"I'll play in Scotland again. You've got to be given the opportunity and it's got to be the right thing for everyone concerned.

"I've a year to go on my Birmingham contract and the club have a two–year option on me but they're neither here nor there about letting me know what they're going to do about the option part.

"I don't really know what's going to happen."(82)(69)
