Cardiff city to make an approach for Mohammed salah from basle.

Fingers crossed he ripped the premier league teams a part in the Europe last season, Tottenham couldn't handle him.


Well if he is as good as you say let's hope it happens.


Hope it happens but knowing Cardiffs luck we seem to miss out all the time

Jos Hoovield is reportedly a target for Derby County.

Are Derby doing so little this Transfer Window that we have to have the same rumour posted again?

It's so frustrating being a Derby fan, when you have to watch others around you improving year on year. Even F*rest are looking good this year.

Come on you Rams!


You say "even" Forest are looking good. It would surprise me more if they weren't.

They spent 2.5 million on a CB alone and around 5-6 million in total. Without selling anyone either.

We have made a profit at the moment of around 750K with the sale of John Brayford for 1.5 million.

I too am frustrated but all we need a decent CB.


"Doing so little this window"?
6 signings :
Starting Goalie
Starting Left back
TWO starting Strikers
Experienced Midfielder
Competition for Right back.

How much more do you think we need to do?


Wow 6 signing not a lot some derby fans will moan about anything never happy


^ another centre back on loan for 6 months then we're done.


We need out and out wingers with PACE we must be the slowest team in the championship easily. spend the money and reap the rewards


 

 

22 Aug 2013 22:05:09
If Chelsea win the race for Willian, which is looking increasingly likely, Victor Moses will almost definitely be moving to West Bromwich Albion.

Wishful thinking but I would imagine he would be too expensive


Oscar hazard mata willian schurrule debryune moses torres dembaba lukaku? 10 attacking players fitting into 4 places in the team seams unlikley


I've heard that Moses was our number 1 target and will sign next week


On-loan maybe


HE WONT GO to west brom they signed sinclair


23 Aug 2013 08:51:50
No doubt it will be a loan, as Scott Sinclair is the only
league loan we have at the moment, all the others from abroad.


Hopefully he's next, him on the right RW Sinclair on the left vey nice!


YES BUT west brom need two wingers we only have 1! And brunt does not count!


Just because we signed Sinclair doesn't mean that we can't sign Moses


I've heard he is our big signing next week


West brom need another winger


Why keep saying we need another winger Sinclair and Moses are wingers


Moses as a perm signing. Lukaku on loan, once Rooney signs for Chelsea after Mondays game. possible!


 

 

22 Aug 2013 21:47:41
Exeter are to seal the signing of Nicolas Bignall after the funds where made available after agreeing a deal with Monza for Myles Anderson

 

 

22 Aug 2013 21:36:57
Bradford city interested taking Paul benson on loan but are competing with Shrewsbury, plymouth & Luton

Not going to happen Parky wanted him for the league 2 campaign, not good enough for league 1.


Not going to happen, city fans absolutely hate the man after he has snubbed Bradford a couple of times in recent years!


24 Aug 2013 19:32:49
nahki wells is not going anywhere. No team has enough money after the way he played against sheffield utd. Worth atleast 4 million now with 5 league goals in 4 games


Wells will develop loads and end up in the premier league


Wells.4 million is not going too happen he is a great palyer but be serious he isn't worth 4 mil atm.


Benson has today signed for Luton Town until the end of the season, can we now stop talk of Benson to Bradford, it's old and boring and never going to happen.


 

 

22 Aug 2013 20:42:03
Gary Johnson looking to bring another forward to Huish - Nicky Maynard on loan or a permanent deal for Izeale Macleod of MK Dons are his 2 main targets

God I do hope they take Izale McLeod he's terrible.


Please let it be true that Johnson wants McFlop!

He's been useless for us and our manager hates him. He needs to be offloaded, now!

Only problem is he's nowhere near good enough for the Championship.


23 Aug 2013 17:12:50
I can't drive but if this is true I will learn to and drive him there from MK myself


Given a chance McLeod could score 20 for the Dons this season!


Totally agree. Izale needs to be playing. How you suppose to score given 10 mins a game.


"Totally agree. Izale needs to be playing. How you suppose to score given 10 mins a game. "

He gets at least a couple of chances in those ten minutes. Still doesn't look like scoring. Face it. Pete's signing not Robbo's and Robbo is proving his point. Bamford's a far better footballer, anyhow.


Izale did well in his first spell at the Dons, this season he won't score anywhere near 20. Bamford is a quality up and coming striker with a lot of potential and deserves first team football, plus McLeod is far too lazy, he might score if he gets up off his backside


 

 

22 Aug 2013 20:02:29
Boro are looking to towards Mohamed bangura to solve their goal scoring problems, from a reliable source.

He is not the man to do it!he was useless at celtic, hence the reason we have put him out on loan twice!


Good player, certainly not a proven goalscorer but, strong lad but be lucky if gets 10 goals a season


 

 

22 Aug 2013 19:29:46
Hartlepool are keen on signing Middlesbrough right back Andre bennett

Just signd Michael Duckworth a right fullback who has been on trial for last 6 weeks, don't need anymore rightbacks.


Colin cooper also keen on a 1 month loan for Luke williams


Curtis main will join reachy at shrews, both tranmere and hartlepool have shown intrest in luke williams and ryan brobbel will go out to badford to link up with boro keeper connor ripley


Need a striker now


Luke Williams to Hartlepool baffles me this does, scores a genuine world class goal against burnley last year more or less scores most other times he plays and gets rewarded with a loan move to Hartlepool, in a way I'm glad because he will do pools the world of good but it also shows just how bad tony Mowbray is at identifying talent LM


Luke Williams needs to go out on loan because whenever he has played he is never really up to match speed, so him going out on loan will give him the experience he needs


I would love williams at pools but surely we have chance of getting him he is to good for league 2


Luke Williams needs games I agree but he should be getting them at boro as should reach and main, Mowbray is a joke them kids have no chance with him in charge Curtis main is the best striker at the club and doesn't get a look in Mowbray out, I wouldn't trust Mowbray with money for my weekly shop UTB LM


 

 

22 Aug 2013 18:43:45
Tony Mowbray has rubbished rumours linking Middlesbrough with Daniel Ayala and luciano becchio

Where?


No he hasn't. He stated n an interview that he wouldn't comment on individuals and deals haven't been 'agreed'. I would suspect Ayala along with McCormack (a deal which is 99% done with a 2.2m fee agreed according to my source) to join VERY SOON.


No he said there were tabled bids but no contact talks


22 Aug 2013 19:48:50
No get this right he said the Bechio story had no truth nothing about Ayala at all!
Ayala is coming to Boro I've heard this off numerous sources and its plastered all over the back page of the Middlesbrough gazette so must be some substance in it so come on people if your going to put a rumour put something that's right.


Rubbish he didn't say that at all.


Ayala and Becchio would be perfect for Boro then maybe mccormack or vaz te would put icing on cake and complete transfer window


McCormack, becchio and Ayala will all be boro players soon. This is not a rumour, it is a fact. You heard it here first.


McCormack and Becchio? We're in for a striker, Gibson is not going to buy two, we simply can't afford them both.


Don't think that McCormack will sign for Boro as I note Mowbrays comment in todays evening gazette that some agents use clubs to get a better deal for their player and I understand that McC is getting offered a new deal as per this mornings national press. Its gone on too long, he doesn't particularily want to come to Boro and in some respects I can understand why, crowd size being one, so I think we may need to kove on quickly here now.


Now Chris Hughton is building up Ayala so this tfr seems to be dieing slowly. Why does it take so long for deals to be done, Boro seem to spend all their time denying interest when we all know there is a link, surely it would give a better impression to the fans and the player in question if we came out and said we want to sign xxxx. Nobody expects them tp get all the targets but according to the club we appear to want anyone who is available!!

Reading are closing in one three deals to wrap up their transfers in for the summer:

Joseph Akala:
(Werder Bremen) has been offered a 3-year contract and I am told has accepted. Just some details to complete before he signs and a work permit, but the club anticipate that to be a formality.

Billy Sharp:
(Saints) Reading have been tracking Billy all summer, and I am told he has been in talks with Reading this week over a 3-year deal with the option of a 4th year inclusive. No idea of fee, but it is thought that Southampton will accept offers in the region of £1m.

David Vaughan:
(Sunderland) John Percy was bang on when he said Reading were in for £1.2m David Vaughan. Hull have matched the offer but Reading have offered a better deal and I was told yesterday that he has verbally agreed to join, and is expected in Reading on Monday for a medical. {Reading fans will be thinking we've been here before with Tommy Smith. Fingers crossed we're not being used to get a better deal out of Hull} I am told though that this one looks like it's 99% there.

Sharp is worth 1.8 millon


22 Aug 2013 19:55:25
Jerome, akpala and Vaughan are the three. Jerome will cost 2.5 million and the price will rise to 3 million if we get promoted.


I'm so over the Sharp signing for Reading saga. if he was going to sign then why not before now? There's been too many supposedly sign dates come and gone now. Get on with it or move on.


It's not Jerome, Adkins said in an interview.


Hull have just bought Huddlestone and Livermore (loan) can't see us being in for another central midfielder when we have 5/6 capable of playing there.


Adkins never ruled out Jerome. All he said was that there will be lots of speculation.


Hull are not remotely interested in David Vaughan, they haven't bid for him, they haven't considered bidding for him, it's complete load of old tosh.


Just heard that hull have bid 1. 3 for Vaughan


 

 

22 Aug 2013 17:08:42
Mogga will look to sign Swansea City striker Luke Moore who he has previously signed at West Brom.

Have my doubts as we are pretty sure to get Ross McCormack from Leeds


22 Aug 2013 18:22:41
You are in right trouble if you expect anything from moore, he is by far the idlest, overrated, player ever.


Wats happening about ki?


Looks like Luke Moore is going to Turkey. Best of luck mate thanks for your time at Swansea.


23 Aug 2013 08:11:37
Thought you could only get two loans as a prem club


He is going to hull or Blackburn


 

 

22 Aug 2013 17:15:55
Scott Sinclair signed for west brom on a season long loan with a view to permanent. jus what we needed boing! boing!

Please also be aware that Albion and Chelsea have agreed for Lukaku to return to WBA on a years loan subject to Chelsea signing Rooney or another striker.


Hope the above comment is true


Would love to see Lukaku back up west brom what a player, still don't see him getting much game time at Chelsea, Hope it's true


 

 

22 Aug 2013 16:59:25
Scott Sinclair has joined West Brom on a Season Long Loan

 

 

22 Aug 2013 16:58:32
Barnsley have completed the signing of Paddy McCourt on a 1 year deal

Awesome signing the Derry pele is a welcome addition he just needs to stay fit only reason why Celtic got rid is because of fitness he could well be. a fans favorite


These latest signing should make for a very interesting season. Well done David Flitcroft! Also best wishes and congrats on the birth of your third son!


Flitcroft's new baby is a boy? Someone I know at the club said it's a girl and they're not usually wrong.


If its a boy he should put it in goal or in defence. Useless. Where's bobby hassell?


24 Aug 2013 19:03:21
If you knew owt about BFC you would know Sir Bobby is injured!


24 Aug 2013 21:08:30
Golbourne off to wolves


We are lost in defence with out Stephen foster we need help


Ha! Lost without Foster! Is that a joke?


Foster hardly covered himself in glory at tranmere last weekend


We need a darren moore with pace, carl tyler or a gerry taggert.


 

 

22 Aug 2013 15:47:34
Barnsley are close to signing Gary Dicker and Paddy McCourt after both had successful trials at the club.

 

 

22 Aug 2013 15:12:37
After Chris Baird's release from Fulham the right-back/central-midfielder has been short of any interest but Adkins has offered the Northern Irishman a 3 year deal. With already having plenty of strength in the defensive and midfield area I can't see why Adkins would bring him in.

 

 

22 Aug 2013 15:09:53
boro in talks with celtic forward mohamed bangura, heard from a reliable source. Boro also close to completing the signing of Daniel Ayala on a loan deal from Norwich and his team mate Luchiano Becchio on a permanent contract.

I can confirm all of this as true but I don't think Bangura would be a wise signing


He is rumoured to also want Abdolaye Meite and Shelton Martis and if those two fall through he may look to former Hungary international Gabor Gyepes in his bid to further strengthen defence following summer captures Frazer Richardson and Daniel Ayala.


Just watched an interview with tony mowbray and he said that no deals for anyone have yet been agreed and not to believe anything you read in the papers, he also denies making a bid for becchio, but let's just hope he's keeping it quiet, would love all these players at the Boro. UTB!


Bangura is on loan to Elfsborg until end of the calendar year.

It seems, in true West ham fashion (despite what Allardyce says and if you remember he did say they could never afford a player like Downing) it seems that Juve had allowed West Ham to speak to Fabio Quagrialella which they did and a deal was struck between him and the hammers, however, Juve want to sell him whereas West ham want loan initially with view to permanent move. This is now the sticking point and to make matters worse (again in true West Ham fashion) Norwich (not sure how) are ready to offer cash up front for the player. We therefore have four parties sitting at negotiating table. Juventus, West Ham, Norwich and The striker himself. And in true West ham fashion the odds have been shortened on the player joining Norwich

This is Norwich's third year in the Premier League and the first to see significant sums being spent on transfer targets. We have little or no no external debt so we are cash rich. CEO David McNally should get a lot of the credit for where we are and who we have brought in.


 

 

22 Aug 2013 14:48:06
Southampton are looking at 19 year old Dutch winger Memphis Depay to replace Jason Puncheon and are prepared to pay up to £8m for him.

These rumours occurred back in the start of the window and nothing developed, hopefully they do though because he is a class player. Not sure if Cortese could convince someone so young to leave Champions League football just yet.


He will not leave PSV


The "prepared to pay" let the OP down and showed it is nonsense. NO-ONE knows what NC is prepared to pay for ANY player!


 

 

22 Aug 2013 14:37:46
Barnsley set to sign Fryatt by the end of today.

I really hope so, would be a great signing. But, is this wishful thinking? I'm sure many othe championship teams would be in for him and why would he choose us over a (so called) bigger club?


Barnsley sign mccourt the mans a lionel messi anyone now slagging saint flicker off or doubting him can go to annother football ground on saturday afters and leave the true reds alone


 

 

22 Aug 2013 13:26:45
Watford's Sean Murrey is set to join Leeds for an undisclosed fee, on a 4 year deal.

Yee can have mcormack instead if yee give us troy deany


22 Aug 2013 16:24:54
Try doing euro millions Friday night, you got more chance off winning that than getting deeney! You can keep mcormack thanx,


This would be an immense signing for Leeds, quality player and so underrated by Watford, what a waste staying there. They are far too busy working with loaned players and cheating there way to the top than playing fair like and concentrating on young players.


Of cause he won't go to Leeds he has a future at Watford. Also haven't Leeds been linked with every Watford/udinese player this summer


22 Aug 2013 16:44:59
5 million


Doubt it. Mcdermott has been bemoaning the lack of transfer funds he has therefore I doubt he would be able to afford Murray


Quality player


If it's similar to the Assombalonga 4 year deal with lots of cash for us, then yes please! If not then it's not going to happen.


No chance, he may go out on loan but not a permanent signing


He signed a 5 year contract the other year and has been impressing in preseason. Might be a loan but certainly not a transfer for anything below 10m + add ons.


Why do people say leeds don't have money, i'm not sure how many championship clubs have spent more than us this summer but it won't be many MOT


Except QPR Wigan Bolton Reading Forest. mmmm


Watford could afford to splash the cash but we don't need to when we can sign players on frees


Doubt it considering he played today


Am just wondering if you hornets reckon you are missing hogg or not. I ask this because when we signed him, you guys really rated him, but thought the Brazilian lad you signed was better. do you still think this? I have liked what I have seen of hogg, no fuss and just gets on with his game and does the dirty stuff of the game very well.


Don't honestly think we are missing him as we have an embarressment of riches. New players are still bedding in so we will see. You however have got a fine player in Hoggy and he will get a great reception when he comes back to the Vic


I liked Hogg a lot, but it's hard to compare him and Iriney I think. Hogg ran around and had bundles of energy whereas Iriney is more static but still manages to break up the play. I like them both, and I haven't seen enough of Iriney to compare him to Hogg yet, but I certainly don't think he's a far superior player, and Hogg will always be welcome back at the Vic.


Thanks, I know we wouldn't have got him if homesickness/ wanting to move closer to home wasn't a factor, but a lot of town fans r very impressed already and at the cost we got him at it may prove to be a top top deal for us.


Yes, I think we have missed hogg especially in the last two draws, we've missed how he gets in the face of players and ireney has yet tom impress me however to be fair he hasn't had much time to adapt yet


Yes totally miss him. iriney is too slwo for the championship and way too comfortable on the ball prone too giving it away. bit harsh too totally judge him but will totally miss hogg iriney slow and inexperience in the championship is being shown up. so we will miss hogg


Iriney, having played pretty much his entire career in Spain, will take some time to adapt to the culture of England and to learn that you don't have an incredibly long time to shift the ball on as players press high in England, as opposed to the generally more relaxed possession in Spain. Saw him get angry with McGugan for not celebrating his goal, which shows me he doesn't really understand English culture yet. It will come in time.


 

 

22 Aug 2013 13:21:56
Paul Benson will complete his loan move to Luton Town this week. Also expect Arnaud Mendy to be released by Luton while Scott Rendell and Lathaniel Rowe-Turner will finalise loan moves away from Kenilworth Road before the deadline day.

 

 

22 Aug 2013 13:16:11
Swindon to bring in John Job Ayo Akinde from Alfreton Town, with Williams going to Bristol city.

Yes let Bristol City have Williams. they will never score with him in the team


Wrong Williams is on his way back to yeovil


He's on his way to Yeovil on loan. Williams is a waste of rather a lot of talent


 

 

22 Aug 2013 11:49:40
£2 mil final take it or leave it for McCormack. Reckon Leeds will accept this without a doubt. Lots of work going on behind the scenes this past week.
Daniel Ayala coming in on loan.
Boro also chasing loan deal for Vaz Te or permanent deal for Ronnie Schwartz or Rantie. JM

Haha we won't accept 2m maybe 3m and its only leeds and Cardiff interested in Vaz te.


Mccormack deal is dead and buried thank god as for vaz te he is not good enough boro have tabled a bid of 1.8 million for becchio norwich have agreed to sell but like always mowbray will again fail to sign him as nobody is interested in signing for the boro with our weak coaching set up and empty stadium mowbray and his mates will be out by christmas as gibbo has had enough of the poor coaching


I would take 2 mil for McCormack if it meant we could bring in Mills, Mackay-Steven, possibly another young winger (maybe a loan) and maybe Vaz Te or Becchio on loan.


According to OS, McCormack discussing new contract


Apparently Boro are lining up a 1.8 mil bid for bechio instead


Sorry Boro fans, you won't get McCormack he's discussing a contract extension with Leeds at mo. Only silly money, 3 mill plus will be considered.


Really don't get why fans talk as if they make the decisions of what the club do with the players


Think we might cash in on him if it goes above 2 mill. hope not mind. but get a winger in & a goal scorer in maybe on loan. have to wait and see won't we


 

 

22 Aug 2013 11:21:01
Sochaux and former France U-21's striker Sloan Privat is widely expected to sign for Crystal Palace for a fee in the region of 3 million euros in the next few days. the 24 year old has scored an impressive 44 goals in 146 games and is seen as the perfect player to complement palaces existing strike force

 

 

22 Aug 2013 11:32:05
Chesterfield due to accept a bid of £400k for Tommy Lee from Leeds United and replace him with out of contract Lee Camp

That's rubbish Chesterfield won't sell him for less than £500k


This may not be as daft as it first sounds and could be good business for CFC. Tommy is from that neck of the woods and there have been many rumours before about Leeds sniffing around. He has got to be a top earner at the club and depending on what deal Camp were to get ( or whoever)it could be good financial business, further more good luck Tommy, he has been a top servant at the club and if it suits him then nobody at CFC could begrudge him the move. Ventress


Waste of money if Leeds do, we have Kenny, one of the best keepers in the Championship, yes he's 35 but he hasn't retired yet. Lee is a great shot stopper however he isn't tall enough and often makes mistakes, for example drops the ball.


Another summer, another Tommy Lee rumour, let's hope this ones the same as the rest. COYB!


Tommy Lee is the best keeper outside the premiership, we don't want to lose him but if Leeds offer over £500k we cannot turn this down. He is ten times better than Paddy Kenny! As regards a replacement the last thing we need as a Forest reject like Camp!


Sheffield Wednesday are after another keeper to challenge Chris Kirkland and I think Lee Camp will go to Sheffield Wednesday and not Chesterfield


 

 

22 Aug 2013 11:31:15
With Ayala due to tie up a loan move to M'boro, Norwich City are set to sign Michale Mancienne on a season long loan with a view to a permanent transfer.

Would love to see it


Would like it to be permanent now


Love the player would be a great signing


 

 

22 Aug 2013 10:48:08
Junior Hoilett is set to join Stoke city on a season long loan with a view to a permanent move at the end of the season

Really hope Hoilett comes to the brit he is a player i'd really like to see. I think we need a few more faces and iv heard we have been linked with Gareth Barry, Scott Sinclair, Henri Saivet, Jermain Defoe, Mame Biram Diouf, Mevlut Erdinc, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, Momo Sissoko and Junior Hoilett.


Hoilett is out injured with a hamstring strain so I very much doubt he'll be going far


Gareth Barry is going to Everton and Sinclair as signed a loan deal with west brom. Plus we apparently decided not to sign erdin (thank god). Cardiff keeps trying to jack all our transfer targets but luckily they got turned down this time so sissokho and hoilett look like they could happen. But still the striking department remains void


It would be nice one day to actually read in the nationals that we've signed some one, instead of reading about everyone else's signings. looks like final transfer day dregs again if we are lucky?


Don't doubt Hughes he will sign 1-3 players before the window shuts. I think they will be Oussama Assaidi, Jermain Defoe and Henri Saivet.


Could be possible now as qpr have just signed matty phillips. I hope it happens


 

 

22 Aug 2013 10:49:31
Nathan tyson to swindon deal confirmed next week.

Heard he was at last home game transfer can't go through to we let people go.


22 Aug 2013 14:04:57
No thank you


No thanks


He couldn't score in a brothel anyway! LOL


 

 

22 Aug 2013 10:48:48
Stoke have made an enquiry about Marc Albrighton, also stoke have activated a release clause in Henri Saivet's (Bordeaux) contract

22 Aug 2013 12:35:00
Swindon signing nathan tyson on 2 year deal.


Henri Saivet. any news if he is quality


Henri Saivet is a quality player the next Henry with lots more pace


Please someone sign Albrighton and stop his rumours appearing on the Seagulls site :o)


Sounds like saivet is staying in france to mature as a player for a few more years. fingers crossed this isn't the case. i'd love to see him at stoke


I thought Bordeaux are in a bit of money bother and that Saivet was looking for a way out.


Doesn't have to stay at bordeaux to stay in france


 

 

22 Aug 2013 10:47:23
Stoke will look to re enter negotiations with Hannover striker Miram diouf after all other attempts to find another striker have fallen flat (again). stoke are now willing to pay the original £7 million asking fee.

 

 

22 Aug 2013 09:41:18
Swansea are looking sign striker Tomer Hamed on season long loan from relegated Mallorca once luke Moore and leroy lita depart its understood Mallorca won't stand in his way of move to Swansea and tomer had asked Israeli striker itchy shechter about the welsh club.

 

 

22 Aug 2013 10:45:24
Stoke have bid £5 million for man city winger Scott Sinclair but are likely to lose out again to West Brom or Southhampton

22 Aug 2013 11:36:23
if this is true I can't see us losing out as i'm sure west brom are only interested in a loan deal and i'm sure city want a sale.


Man city want it to be permanent so as a west brom fan I am slightly worried if this is true


22 Aug 2013 14:44:35
Scott Sinclair is at westbrom having talks over a season long loan


According to tv Sinclair will go to WBA on an initial loan deal with a view to a permanent deal at the end


Scott Sinclair at west brom for talks and medical ahead of season long loan but man city and west brom still not agreed fee for permanent deal and before everybody start's saying anelka has left west brom he hasn't he as just been given compassionate leave because his agent has died


Sinclair has sign on season long loan with view to permanent


Sinclair has officially joined


Sinclair has signed, may be on the lookout for a new striker again though!


Doubt it he signed for wba


What do you mean doubt it he said we are likely to lose out to WBA.


 

 

22 Aug 2013 10:42:01
Middlesbrough to sign Daniel Ayala on a 1 year loan deal from Norwich City.

Middlesbrough also trying to push through a deal for Luciano Becchio who is surplus to requirements at Norwich due to them signing 3 strikers during this transfer window.

Source: various media

Bechio for me please, better than 1in 3 scoring record. Proven scorer in the championship and I think he will want regular football and to be first choice.


The player is due a medical on Saturday and if becchio deal goes through we will stop pursuing Ross macormack.


Would be very happy to see both of them at Boro


 

 

22 Aug 2013 10:34:47
Luciano Becchio to join Boro before the window closes. Sources say the deal could be completed in the next 4-5 days.

But Brighton want him as well


Shame really as not been given a fair crack at Norwich, Hughton brought him in, but choose not to play him - strange!


Brighton are struggling with debt so I doubt you'll be spending £1.8m on him.


22 Aug 2013 16:36:10
Think he will end up at Brighton on loan with a view to sign permanently after loan ends, Brighton better players and more chance going up, than borough,


So who are Borough then?


 

 

22 Aug 2013 09:37:57
Boro to make triple sweep within next few days :
Mohamed Bangura from Celtic to beef up attack
Free agent Shelton Martis to cover defence as Mowbray has signed him before both when at Hibernian and West Brom
And Ross McCormack from Leeds for £1.8 million and Emnes on loan

 

 

22 Aug 2013 09:25:41
Yeovil are thinking about a loan move for Tom Carroll of Spurs

22 Aug 2013 13:23:14
You don't want him get Andy williams s he's really good please please please swindon fans will pay his train fare


No there not. already at a limit for loan signings on a match day. and most of the loan signings are first 11 this season


If Andy Williams is that good why are Swindon getting rid we need players with Championship experience to help our players grow in experience

I am sure they are thinking about it. I doubt though, whether, when done thinking and a loan bid is made, it will be accepted. Lots of Spuds games this season and they will use him in some way.


Yeovil will never sign Tom Carroll despite their slight interest in the 21 year old, currently of Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur. Not even on a months loan deal!

Reading look poised to bid for Cameron Jerome from Stoke after his recent betting charges leading to him being dropped down the pecking order. Agent Aaron Sanwell is due to have talks with Nicky Hammond today

This was put to Nigel Adkins in a recent press conference and he said that's news to him so nope this is just a load of tosh


See below anything new


Mladen Petric is in talks to join the Royals. Having been relaeased by Fulham he is a free agent.


Cameron Jerome has been spotted in Leicester today ahead of a medical later.


I hope not he his the best striker at stoke. Mark should give him a chance of a few games. Cameron Jerome has a lot of pace & always looks dangerous in front of goal. i'm sorry to say that all the other forwards at stoke are not good enough for the premier league.


Rumours are Jones and Jerome could be leaving but Hughes said he has received no bids and i'm sure he won't sell without replacements.

Gillingham are in talks with Danny Webber of Accrington Stanley after boss Martin Allen has grown frustrated with his team's lack of goals and decided to loan out young striker Antonio German to an unnamed league 2 club. Webber has family in London and is desperate to be closer to them. Manager James Beattie is prepared to
let him leave if he can find a replacement.

Can't see this happenning, you sound like webbers agent, why does everyone say we are after a striker when we don't have enough midfielders and defenders lol.


22 Aug 2013 13:23:35
Why would Accrington let him go?He only joined in July and signed a one year deal and scored on his debut.


22 Aug 2013 13:23:41
No thanks we have only played 3 games and against 2 teams who are you going for promotion. There is goals within the team mcdonald, bayo and kedwell why would we want him when we have better.


No chance of that!


22 Aug 2013 16:25:24
Family in London? He was born and raised in Manchester.

Bristol City will sign James O'conner and Nicky Shorey today
This will allow Greg Cunningham to leave for Nottingham Forest for £500k and Dexter Blackstock moving to Bristol

Blackstock signed a 4 1/2 year deal in January this year, so can't see him moving


Blackstock is out of favour and even halford a cb is higher up in billy davies plan as a striker and cunnigham is not needed he is useless we have cohen and lichaj can play right back and even harding is better than cunningham

Fulham are in talks with Calgiari over the transfer of Nainggolan, a Belgian Midfielder who Jol has courted for some time & now the London team looks set to snare the player b4 sep 2nd, the whites also want another striker & are looking at Borriello, Aquafresca, Gilardinio & Rhodes of Blackburn.

Guiseppe Palceco

I'd love Nainggolan. As for another striker, it's likely they'd be 4th choice, and also relies on Hugo Rodallega and John Arne Riise to free up wage space.

I'd love Jordan Rhodes but god knows what he'd cost. Van Nistelrooy in his style of play, not physically talented but somehow scores goes.


Nainggolan? I wish! - a very talented young playmaker, but would probably cost around 15m.


Italian rumour mills and forums are incandescent with Nainggolan transfer news, but yesterday, Cagliari sporting director Nicola Salerno denied the possible sale of their star midfielder, saying ”We have arrived at the start of the league championship with this team. We therefore find it hard to let go of such an important a player with the championship just about to begin


Is he as good as our last Belgian midfielder?


Radha Nainggolan could be an exiting prospect as he brings some more pace to the team alongside Tarrabt and Bent, also he can give us some more creative options to try and get the strikers in on goal. I am disappointed with the strikers linked in this rumour, Gilardino is probably the strongest but I wouldn't even want him in our squad. However Mame Biran Diouf has been linked with us too and the ex united player would be a great addition.


Mame biran diouf was on loan at blackburn and he was useless a few years ago now but he only scored in a cup game I think - played a lot of games and was awful. The other 4 players rumoured are in a different league to him. I wouldn't even want him in the chumpionship


24 Aug 2013 10:45:12
Would love to see Rhodes in but none of these are going to happen. We might get a left back in to replace that crock Richardson and Riise who's thrown the toys out of the cot, but then we will shut up shop.
