Southend wll sell Bilel Mohsni to West Ham when his trial ends at the club, and will bid to sign Mark Brown, John Spicer, peter Leven, and Stephen Brogan, this should wrap up their summer signings, although they have been linked with peter leven and adebayo akinfenwa, which is unlikely.
25 Jul 2012 22:07:42
Plymouth Argyle have took welsh midfielder Matt Crowell on trial
Where abouts in midfield does he play and is there any stats on him because argyle won't get him if he isn't the type of player they want
Where did you get this from???

Milwall to buy Out of favour striker Leon Clarke in a swap deal for danny nguessan
25 Jul 2012 20:35:48
Nicks Maynard set for dramatic return to former club Bristol City on season Long Loan as Sam Allardyce has no place in fourth-coming season. Derek Mcinnes struggling to find strikers and see's Maynard as perfect solution.
Heaton will sign Three year deal tomorrow, Marc Wilson set to sign next week if he can prove his fitness and get over groin strain.
City also putting feelers out for Carayol, Halford and Jackson
Mickey won't be back at AG, he burnt that particular bridge. Heaton is in talks about signing but Wilson won't be offered anything due to his injury record (which is why Celtic let him go). Halford is out of City's range due to wages plus he's more likely to go to Forest (SSN). I presume you mean Simeon Jackson? Not a hope in hell. Way out of City's transfer budget and I don't think he wants to drop back into the NPC. As for Carayol could only see it if Adomah is on his way.
Nicky Maynard goin to Leeds Utd for £1.5m next week...
Its an awkward one for West Ham as Bristol City have a big sell on clause. West Ham would prefer a loan/transfer back to Bristol to avoid paying a fee however, Maynard is not keen!
I dont think maynard will come back to city after the abuse he got when he played at ashton gate with west ham
Dont want maynard back
25 Jul 2012 20:03:17
Norwich midfielder Andrew Crofts linked to Leeds as part of the Snodgrass deal but also mentioned for a possible return to old stamping grounds at Brighton where they need a box to box midfielder
Love to have him back
Crofts is a solid championship player... he'll do a good job at leeds, he gets stuck in
I don't think Crofts was ever a box to box player when he was with us (the albion) before. He was very overated and we did well to get the money we got for him. We shouldn't be in paying money for him as he's not that good.
We definately do not need another box to box midfielder after signing, Norris, Green and Austin on his way. Need a quick winger or Wes Hoolyhoop (Hoolahan) ;).
TeejLUFC
Crofty done excellent for Norwich played a big part in getting us out of the championship
Crofts might cos ive heard from a very reliable source (a board member) that we might be trying to get him
Hoolahan can't even play on the wing, that was proved in his first season at the club, he is best just behind the striker at the tip of a diamond.
Theres no chance Hoolahan will leave Norwich..
Every chance any player will leave a club, money talks
We said that about Jonny Howson. And we already got Drury so of course we could get hoolahan if we stumped up the cash.
Hoolahan would not drop down to the championship though
25 Jul 2012 19:31:57
Rotherham are to sign Kieran agard after he impressed on trail, scoring the winner against doncaster, he is set to sign a 3 year deal
Confirmed today, he has signed a two year deal not a three year deal though.
25 Jul 2012 18:47:16
Greg Halford joining Nottingham Forest from Portsmouth. You heard it here first
I heard it first on Sky Sports website....long before the timing of your post.
Good bloke, good player. good move for both
Good sighning now halford n three more def n d rose n coppinger
No, someone posted it on the 22nd july
David Norris has agreed to join Leeds subject to a medical
Heard this a while ago... Forest also looking to swoop for Luciano Bechhio from Leeds
These billionaires are really going for it aint they wiv these big named money signings lol, you rams ; )
We should be casting our nets around the lower leagues just like the rams ave to do? lol
Big named signings won't get u out of this league. Just ask leicester :-)
25 Jul 2012 18:25:38
Charlton have rejected a bid from Cheltenham for Leon Clarke.
No thanks - a goalscorer but an attitude too. Would much prefer for Cheltenham to dip into free agents than go chasing players for fees right now.
CTFC have confirmed this is not true and they have not made a bid.
25 Jul 2012 17:48:49
Liverpool will wait until after the Olympics to make a £17 million bid for Bologna sensation Gaston Ramirez. However, Juventus and Spurs also want to sign him.
Well if juve and spurs are in for him then he wont be signing for liverpool!2 far better teams than liverpool
Wow, spurs better than what? they will playing europa league next season
And then finishing below Liverpool as well because exactly the same will happen to Spurs as it did Chelsea with AVB in charge - going down hill I'm afraid
25 Jul 2012 17:23:16
Jaime Peters had has a bid accepted for him from a league 1 club.
Wouldn't mind him being PNE's new Right back but I'd imagine he's going to Bournemouth.
Coventry City
I doubt he's going to AFCB. He didn't particularly impress during his loan spell there last season
Jaime peters did ok at bournemouth last season but with two right midfield / winger already I don't think it will be afcb.
If mcDermott or fodgen move on then that might be interest, but bournemouth still would have grabben and mcQuoid that could play on the right.
25 Jul 2012 17:16:36
Millwall goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall will join Bristol Rovers on a one year deal.
Source?
Not heard anything from the Rovers end on this transfer.
Is true should be done by the weekend
Didnt i read on here you was close to completing a deal for calamity james. Now its millwalls 3rd choice :S
Lets be honest, Rovers have been linked to about 100 players this window, and most of them are complete fantasy or rumors based off of obscure sources or the Rovers forum.
Junior Agogo :)
This is true as mark McGhee thinks Connor gough isn't ready yet.
Phil.
He,s on a 3 mounth loan
25 Jul 2012 17:12:22
Aston Villa are set to bid £10m for Jermaine Defoe to partner upfront with Darren Bent.
Didn't work at spurs and will not work at villa same sort of player but Defoe can finish and bent couldn't hit a barn door
Bent could not hit a barn door?? Take it you have not bothered looking at his stats before you made such a ludacris statement. Bent scores every 2.37 games (excluding internationals)
They struggled get 8m for the last deal that fell threw with them not having the money and wasting time so this isn't going happen
Defoe not worth 10 million, half that
Bent is one of the best goalscorers around!! im an albion fan and would love either one of these players up at the baggies, but they cant play together as proven at spurs previously
Norwich fan: I no longer like Paul.L for obvious reasons, but i can tell you that there's no way he would sign J.Defoe
From another Norwich Fan: So Lambert goes to a 'big club' and all he can get is Defoe!! LOL
Seriously. What?
I havent seen norich sign anyone apart from a unproven championship midfielder
25 Jul 2012 17:02:35
Marlon harewood to bristol city is a sure thing this week
He's in Portugal with swfc ain't he ?
He's currently with Sheffield wednesday! Although not a prolific goal scorer he's the type of forward we've been lacking since Adebola and has to be better than John Akinde and Alvaro Saborio! Well can't be worse! Id welcome him anyway
25 Jul 2012 16:55:05
PSV Eindhoven striker Jeremain Lens wants a move to England.
Southampton had a bid for Lens rejected by PSV last week and the striker is hoping they return with a new offer.
Voetbal International says he's eager to see a switch to St Mary's happen. PSV are demanding £7 million to sell.
Hes a winger
7 million? He's worth more than that if thats the price tag I say pay it and lets have him.
Hope this is true, it would be an amazing signing
No he hasn't said he is eager to go to Southampton nor England.
I speak Dutch and read VI regularly...
He says he is impartial. He would ideally want to stay with PSV and play a central attacking role. PSV have promised him this and he wants to stay. However if PSV give in to a Southampton transfer request he would happily move, as this would suggest PSV are not happy to give him what he wants (i.e. starting role playing attacking mid). He hasn't stated he wants to leave, he stated he wants to stay, but wouldn't object a move if PSV weren't going to be able to play him where he wants and as first choice.
Don't write BS mate, especially if you are going to attempt to cite credible sources.
Also PSV have publically stated they want AT LEAST 10 million. Which is nearly £8million MINIMUM.
Whether they will hold out for that much is a different question, but their evaluation of him is in excess of £7 million. Are you just picking random numbers out your backside?
JJ
Not exactly true. according to VI lens wasnt interested by the offer southampton have made him.
7 million? pay up cortese, same amount as rodriguez yet a better player, also hence relieving the pressure on JayRod
Im just telling you the rumour, i havent read the dutch article, this is what i read
I should also say that as a Saints fan - I'd love Lens at the club, would give us that raw pace and flamboyance we dont have. I also wish we would also be able to do a deal quickly - all our recent dealings seem so protracted, hence attracts other clubs and puts the price up....
SS
He's a striker converted to winger!
Ok I think 10 million euro's the minimum fee translates to just over 7.5 million pounds (Correct me if I'm wrong). That's easily a price worth playing for a player who wants first team football and if PSV won't give it to him then I'd imagine Southampton will. We should be willing to go up to 9 million for this player possibly more he's a true talent.
Lens is on the verge of signing for liverpool for 8.5 million from a good source
I'm from venlo and in newspaper metro in holland he stated he would like to go to saints if it was good for everyone so stop writing rubbish v. Saint
Love how everyone knows better, and the matter of fact is that none of you know, rumours are exactly that, so stop trying to out do everyones posts, find a rumour, post and then dont attack the person that wrote it, old saying dont shoot the messenger
^He's not the messenger though!
He hasn't correctly written anything. He's wrongly cited Voetbal International, and wrongfully stated that PSV are demanding £7million. If he was the messenger he would say what VI actually said, and he would say that PSV are demanding 10million Euros.
25 Jul 2012 16:54:03
Southampton are eyeing Feyenoord defender Stefan Vrij.
Would be a good signing for Southampton, offer 2/3million for him and I reckon we could have him for that, quality defender.
Agree - would be a good signing but Feyenoord's other C Back Vlaar has been linked with Villa - they wont want to lose both of them - expect this is to be expensive....
I reckon we can get this kid even if Villa are after Vlaar.
Even though i would love to see this happen, stefan de vrij has declared that he wants to stay at feyenoord because he wants to devolope himself at the club. he said he was flatterd by the offer southampton have made him but that its a step to far at the moment. (source: several dutch sites)
That makes it unlikely, but the right offer for him may still convince him...
25 Jul 2012 16:51:41
Swindon Town defender Chris Smith will sign for Bristol Rovers on a season long loan.
His contract ends in January so I doubt it!
Is on loan but only 3 months
25 Jul 2012 16:47:38
Palace to sign Craig Westcarr
25 Jul 2012 16:36:03
Liverpool goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi will join MK Dons on a season long loan.
Dons don't need a keeper?
David Martin is number one keeper so wouldnt take a player on loan if he wont ever play
David Martin is the best keeper in Division One and we have an U21 international in Ian Mcloughlin so why would we need another keeper?
Bulls***.
Martin is not the best in our league - he is good but not in the top 5
standard dons fans - over rating and over playing things
16 league clean sheets (20 overall for season) and you're not happy! considering that our defence was being changed throughout the season due to injuries, loan cancellations etc that is a good set of stats. Is he perfect, no, but is he as bad as you make out, definitely not. He is one of the top in League 1.
Shut up talking rubbish about david Martin hes so over rated at Dons id love a new keeper, hes alright for league 1 but if we went up tudar and as for 1 of the best in the league no chance
Martin was voted as one of the top 50 players outside the premier league, admittedly, I'm not sure he should be there but he's still an excellent goalkeeper at League 1 level. Young Ian McLoughlin is a mainstay in the Irish U-21 first team. There is NO truth in this rumour. Karl Robinson isn't going to squander wages where they aren't needed.
Completely agree ^^
So third lowest number of goals conceded in the whole of league 1 last season with a patched up defence and I don't know what I'm talking about, hmmm. As I said, not perfect but a lot better than people give him credit for, as it's easy to blame the keeper when the problems occur further up the pitch.
Blackburn Wigan, West Brom and Fulham all allegedly had Martin scouted on a couple of occassions last season (fair enough the same scouts watched Smithies at Huddersfield) can any other keeper in League one claim the same? No... David Martin is a quality keeper and behind a settled back four (please God let us have a settled back four this season) I think we will see a shed load of clean sheets.
25 Jul 2012 16:31:38
Liverpool youngster Jack Robinson will sign for Bolton on a season long loan.
He will be a first teamer now that Aurelio left
Sounds believeable and is a good young talent. Good call!
Aurelio never started for liverpool last season, Enrique played for 2/3rds of the season then johnson moved over to the left, aurelio made one/two appearances in midfield in cup matches...
25 Jul 2012 16:27:03
Yeovil To Sign Darrel Russell And Izale Mcleod Also Exeter Goalkeeper Arthur Krysiak As Back up For Marek Stech.
Izale Mcleod Not Happening
Why would we need him we have Gareth Stewart as backup
I can kind of see McLeod moving though
he looked set to sign for Portsmouth but they're going to fold and have a transfer embargo
I think we are fairly set now, No keeper will sign and our strikers are free-scoring in pre-season... Darel Russell i do think would be very useful though and a big step up from Blizzard... Although theres nothing to suggest Ince isnt good enough
To the above post,. how can portsmouth fold and have a transfer embargo ? its one or the other.. i hate portsmouth as im a southmpton fan, but even if you have a transfer embargo, you can still sign free players , as long as they come inside the wage cap
Inorrect, due to their financial condition, Portsmouth would be expected to field youth team graduates for the coming season should they stay in business... They will shut down if they have any remaining contracted players - so wheres the sense in bringing in players whether they are free or not? just because they are free, means nothing in relation to the player's wage demands
To the above post I agree with you that rohan nice is crap even though HE SCORED A GOAL against Bristol rovers
25 Jul 2012 16:25:15
According to Russian papers seydou doumbia is in advanced talks with Sunderland with a bid of around 18mil accepted by CSK after arsenal pulled out as they won't meet the valuation
Sunderland? Lol. No chance.
How many times do i have to say this Sunderland Fans? Martin O'Neil does not sign this type of player, he never did at Villa even though he had the funds.. he likes buying british only. Get over it you will NEVER buy a player like Seydou Doumbia, plus why would he go to Sunderland for? You are hardly a top of the table side. Been mediocre for at least 40 yrs.
What and Villa are ?
25 Jul 2012 16:16:08
Brett Emerton could be making a return to English Football.
With strong rumours coming out of Australia that Leeds United and Hull City both want to sign the experienced player.
25 Jul 2012 16:09:29
Young Australian goalkeeper Mathew Ryan will sign for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
A fee of around £2 million will be agreed.
25 Jul 2012 16:08:17
Bradford city to sign McNamme on a 2 year deal
Who is mcnammee
The guy who's been on trial with us since Saturday, he plays on the left wing, is really quick and used to play for Watford and Norwich
Anthony mcnamee
Absolutely loved McNammee at Norwich. he'd always try beat his man with skill moves and is very speedy
Can he deliver a decent cross?
Well respected pacy winger by his two former clubs who can cross a ball consistently. Whether he joins Bradford is questionable because he has other options. He has already returned from Ireland for another trial elsewhere
25 Jul 2012 16:07:12
Shaun Cooper (ex Bournemouth) has signed for Crawley Town. Source Crawley official website.
Coops was a good player for AFCB but had become injury prone which is why he was not offered top notch terms to stay with us. Good luck at Crawley except when you play us! UTCIAD!
U have a class player best form hs ever been on good luck coops from everyone from afcb shame u coudlnt of played pompey with us u will be missed
UTCIAD
O'kane? It's Bournmouth
25 Jul 2012 15:51:21
Modric is going to PSG not madrid, 35m the fee
Psg made a bid, doesnt mean he's going there
TH want 40 mil for modric
25 Jul 2012 15:50:56
Derby county to finish their Transfers
with
Krystian pearce-Centre back
Shane Ferguson-Left Back
Jose Baxter-Striker
Anybody else worried about the new season?
Jose baxter is going to palace mate
Yes me too, lacking firepower already, team will b a mid table effort again, if lucky, burton rams
After watching your lot get beat by mansfield town last night your right to worry bout next season think you need more than 3 signings but good luck anyway
Shane Ferguson signed a 5 year contact last year which suggests Newcaste are keen to keep him unless it's a loan cannot see it happening
Let's get in there and sign Nicky Maynerd from West Ham
25 Jul 2012 15:48:04
James Brent is set to fund the signing of David James for Plymouth argyle on a 1 year deal. David James had been training with Exeter City but now looks set to join Exeters Devon Rivals
Also Exeter have decided to sign Matt Oakley, Jamie Cureton and Elliot Chamberlain which will complete the summer additions for the Grecians.
PAFC already have 3 goalies, Cole, Gilmartin & Chenoweth, why would they want another one
Really cant see this happening. As we have three keepers already and a goalkeeping coach. So why would brent want to fund the signing of a player we dont need who would obviously break the wage structure of the club.
I agree, we just brought in lad from Watford so why would we need another? If this was posted a couple moth back would have been optimistic, David James always said he wants to finish his career down this way, but with argyle having 3 on books I can't see it.
James brent will not allow the signing of david james yes he as a class keeper but its time to move on now and build for the future
25 Jul 2012 15:32:11
As part of the Jamie procure deal to Swansea Preston are to get young striker Scott donelly on a season long loan
Its Rory Donnelly, not Scott. Scott was released by the club at the end of the season
You mean Rory Donnelly, Scott Donnelly has been released and was on trial at Rotherham.
Doubt it for one donelly is 24 and has been realesed from swansea
He's been released by Swansea and is a midfielder.
Can you still take Proctor even the other guys not coming! Its either Swansea or Blackpool Beach for this guy.
It's Jamie Procter
Just seen on sky north end interested is apko sodje , he is 32 played for about a dozen clubs and is utterly useless , how far have we degenerated, we are becoming a joke
25 Jul 2012 15:21:43
DRFC news anyone?
25 Jul 2012 15:20:46
QPR to bid for Wilfried Zaha, thought to be around 3m plus add ons
Palace turned down 8M in Jan so why accept 3M now ?
Why does everyone write £3 Mill bid accepted.
No.1 as above £8 Mill rejected.
No. 2 signed a new contract.
No.3 Surely after apparent months of accepting £3 Mill bids he would have been snapped up by now
Palace turn down £8million for Zaha if somebody bids half that up front he'll be gone. I remember reported bids of £7million being turned down for clyne. Now he's left for only £2million reportedly
25 Jul 2012 15:14:34
Greg Abbott has indicated he is in contact with four players all strikers, one of which seems unlikely. sources BBC radio Cumbria sport and the news and star.

Watford are buying St Mirren's Paul McGowan and Kenny McLean for a combined fee of £1.15million.
Watford aren't buying anyone at the moment until the FA has cleared the takeover
I think you'll find that you are wrong and the FA have aproved the takeover. In addition Watford FC have now cleared all outstanding invoices that were held in suspense pending the takeover. If the FA was concerned in light of Portsmouth & Rangers there would have been an announcement within days of it being announced as complete.Makes me wonder if you are a supporter of a semi-pro team based around junction 10 of the M1
When will that happen, can't wait forever to start to add to the squad. Why is the club silent on this?
Transfer embargo at the moment so can't buy anyone
What a nice insult. I'm actually a season ticket holder who listens to what is going on. Why no signingsthen know all?
No thanks
Well they have a new players in cork with them so....
I work in debt collection and know that when a company is taken over invoices are generally held in suspense pending completion and as I said as far as I'm aware Watford have now settled all outstanding invoices. Sorry about the M1 dig but I'm also a season ticket holder I'm not sure why to signings yet
If, as rumours suggest, there is a transfer embargo, how do you explain the sale of Loach? A transfer embargo would work both ways, buying and selling would it not?
25 Jul 2012 14:54:53
Swindon boss Paolo di Canio has said he will definitely sign 1 and maybe 2 more players this transfer window, one is John Bostock and could anyone elighten me on whom the second could be? Only ones ive heard of are Lee Barnard and Sanchez Watt
I hope bostock will be permanent
Are we forgetting that Di Canio must still be looking to bring in a goalkeeper, all the hype about these players we are forgetting that we only have two keepers
We have three keepers Mcormick will sign soon. Bostock isnt a loan, the club are trying to sign him on a permanent deal, they have been negotiating the fee for a week, with sell ons and appearances, Bostock wants to sign so hopefully it will happen, my source is someone involved in the club..
No way will McCormick sign!!
McCormick will NOT sign!! Your source is fictional!!
25 Jul 2012 14:54:51
zenit want to do a swap with skrtle going and bruno alves going to liverpool. i think its a good deal if it happens alves is better on the ball quick and scores goals and will bring flair to the defence
Bruno alves quick? next
Bruno alves quick? ha ha
he can barely move did you see the euros thats why he was so far back and let pepe go forward.But saying that hes one of the best headers of the ball in the game.
A defence don't need flair. They get payed to defend, not score.
If your going to make up a completely fake rumour, at least spell the names correctly. "SKRTEL"
25 Jul 2012 14:51:19
Michael Laudrup is close to making Ryan Babel his fourth signing as Swansea manager.
25 Jul 2012 14:49:17
Swansea are hoping to beat Newcastle and Spurs to the signing of ex-Liverpool winger Ryan Babel. After falling out with the manager and chairman, Babel has not gone to Hoffenheim's pre-season training camp based in Austria and the Hoffenheim chairman had said he will listen to offers around 3m.
25 Jul 2012 13:18:44
Chris Iwelumo in talks with Preston North End over a transfer from Watford for an undisclosed fee. Zola has told Iwelumo he is free to discuss terms with the Lancashire club and it is hoped a deal can be done before Saturday
They only want him because he bagged 3 against them for bunley haha
Ohh how fun it is to be a Claret. Iwelumo is the worst striker i've seen pull on a Burnley shirt in 13 years of watching. The demise of PNE HAHA.
Championship wages. No chance.
Only got a year left on his Watford deal - so a nice kiss off from Watford and a 2 year contract - he will be happy to sign. Watford not looking for much of a fee either. He left the Ireland training camp this morning and flew to Manchester - so something is happening - either PNE or United !
Emu might have been the worst Striker that Burnley had in years but he did OK at Watford - maybe not the most prolific goalscorer in the League, but he works hard and sets up other players while poaching a few for himself. Good luck to him - hope he does well for PNE
I don't think Graham Westley is signing Iwelumo to score goals, but to set them up using his target man figure. Something that GW wants. His goal scoring record shows this. Still, a few goals here and there will help :)
25 Jul 2012 14:11:36
Brighton have launched an addacious bid for ex Chelsea striker Adrian mutu
From a brighton fan, bull.
I have heard this but don't want him
Heard this but cant see it happening but you never know who poyet gonna sign next .......lol
At least put realistic rumours on here mutu going to Brighton is laughable that's like saying palace are a good team and everyone knows that just ain't true
25 Jul 2012 14:04:39
Newcastle United are eyeing up Carlisle starlets Brad Potts and Mark Beck, despite them not having yet made their first team bow. Scouts from the club were present at Carlisle's friendly with Durham last night, and their impressive performances throughout pre-season have done enough to convince the management team to make a move for their services. (Source - Head of Youth at Newcastle)
False.
Beck has made his 1st team bow, so that shows what your 'source' knows.
Will be some good signings maybe put ranger as part of the deal
25 Jul 2012 13:45:40
Sunderland,Everton and West Ham in a three way chase for Palace youngster Wilfried Zaha.
Zaha won't leave Palace due to the price the club are asking. I can't see either of those clubs paying £10million plus for him, as that is what it will cost
What about southampton
They wont pay it either.
To the lad who thinks Zaha will cost 10mil...Palace would do anything 4 5mil so go get a Job an stop annoying ppl with ya silly comments and if ya a kid go an play enjoy ya childhood stop boring us!
25 Jul 2012 13:44:06
Sunderlands Michael Turner is apparently having a medical at NCFC today. No idea on price but only 12 months left on contract so should be reasonable. Would be a good signing with prem experience to sure up the defence imo... Also Snodgrass will be an NCFC player by the end of this week.
Glad turner leaving safc ,,,not very quick at all and turns like the qe2
Very good defender before he picked up a serious knee injury against Everton a few seasons back. Never the same player since, slower than frozen water!
I believe we'll get Turner as S.Davis won't leave Birmingham.
Norwich have two good young CB's but can't be played together, a experienced CB is required to guide them.
25 Jul 2012 13:40:51
West Ham are in talks with Andy Carroll marky my words
18m bid will be excepted.... 70k per week plus bouns's have been offered on 5 year deal.... its all up to andy or rot on bench/resevse's because no else will pay this kind of money not even NEWCASTLE...they do not need him any way....
25 Jul 2012 13:29:57
Bristol Rovers hope to sign Mark Reynolds and Gary Kenneth
Both will be completed this week
Heard this also ...both sound very decent !
I believe that there are wage caps which would not allow ANY LG2 player to earn 4k a week
25 Jul 2012 13:26:50
After featuring in a friendly, Lenny Pidgeley will sign a 2 year contract with Preston North End and will act as cover for Thorsten Stuckmann
He played in a pre season game against bamber bridge and will most likely sign
Which friendly did Lenny Pidgeley appear in?
One of the worst keepers ever
Not true

Talks between Chelsea and Wigan over the transfer of Victor Moses have stalled. It is believed the fee has been agreed, but add on bonuses depending on appearances cant be agreed. If Chelsea fail with their bid, Tottenham are expected to table an offer for the highly rated forward
And Palace get 20%
25 Jul 2012 13:21:57
Ryan Bertrand could move to Aston Villa on a season long loan, once Warnock completes his move to Sunderland
Ryan Bertrand will have a big part to play at Chelsea this season as he begins to dislodge Ashley Cole from the first team. Heard Aston Villa were going to replace Stephen Warnock with Aaron Cresswell for 3.5 million.
Cresswell is joining Villa for what seems like £4m raising to £6m in add on's.

West Ham have tabled a £4.2million bid for Real Madrid striker, Joselu according to reports. Real Madrid value the striker at about £7million, but he is no longer in their plans and it seems they will cash in on the Spaniard this summer.
The 22 year-old has failed to breakthrough at Real Madrid, but has impressed many other clubs during his four year spell at the Spanish Champions. Joselu is a 6ft 3 striker and scored 41 goals in 73 games for Real Madrid Castilla (Real Madrid's B team)
If Joselu adapted to the English game successfully, he has the potential to really shine in England. Also, Fulham and West Ham have tabled £4million bids for Newcastle target, Douglas.
COYI..........P9389
Toon will get Douglas:)
I wonder why he's failed to break through at Real Madrid...

Leeds Utd are looking to fill the void left by Snodgrass by moving in for former Preston winger Keith Treacy
Hope so, hes useless
Leeds have joined the chase for Republic of Ireland international Treacy and hope to beat off competition from Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley.
The one that signed for burnley last summer
Looks like you got Varney instead, good signing.
Thats exactly why snoddy left £3 mill for him replaced by £200k player. there is no ambition.
Snoddy was a 150.ooo player when we got him. So we will fill that gap again and again because we are the bigger club but in the lower league, for one more season.
mot4life
Snoddy was £45k from Livingston....Not a bad bit of business. Lets just hope NW gets the money to keep strengthening Leeds' squad...MOT

Stephen Warnock has told his agent and Paul Lambert he wants a move to Sunderland
25 Jul 2012 13:08:19
After giving up hope for Curtis Davis, norwich have turned to Michael Turner of Sunderland and he on his way for his Medical today!
I hope we haven't given up on Davies. And I certainly hope that doesn't mean that the board are too prudent with the transfer targets. It may be why Lambert left.
Sadly i think brum will want between 6-10mill for davis considering their statement about their star players not leaving unless stupid money comes in. this puts us out of contention before we even start negotiating
From what I've seen from peoples comments Turner is quite slow
If you want to bring in the best players that are going to improve the team then the board have to be willing to spend big money. There's no point just going for the cheap option all the time in the Premiership.
They would probably settle for somewhere under 6m
Not everything is about speed
Donkeys against race horses only one winner,but speed and ability cost money but you have to have some speed attack and defence

york city aiming to sign craig westcarr
25 Jul 2012 12:55:50
Norrwich city have agreed a 2.5 m bid with Leeds to sign Robert snodgrass.
Not again - no they haven't. I am not a Leeds or Norwich fan but this is tiresome. Where is the story that says they have agreed a fee? I know, there isn't one. {Ed001's Note - Neil Warnock has confirmed it himself, wind your neck in mate.}
Cannot be true. Warnock said he is building his side around Snoddy.
It looks like Leeds are becoming a nursery/feeder club for the Canaries.
Confirmed. Saw snodgrass leave...with a beaming smile as well. Good luck to him - too good to stay at leeds for a season that'll simply prove warnock is overdue retirement.
Sort your heads out the club has confirmed the accepted bid, fools, but i think it will be more than 2.5m
Its 3mil with 1.5 up front

PNE duo Adam Barton and Jamie Proctor are down in Wales in talks with Swansea.
Not certain but i have heard heavy rumours.
Swansea were rumoured to be after Proctor at the start of the season.
I found it hard to believe myself because Proctor had a shocking end to the season after he came back from injury.
Adam Barton is understandable because i believe he has talent and Prem clubs have been after him in the past. Injury prone though.
Barton had one injury, so not really injury prone is he?
Both players have massive potential. They just need the right manager to bring it out in them. Westley is not that manager.
25 Jul 2012 12:33:30

Eunan O'Kane is set to sign for Bournemouth for around 175,000 after the devon echo reported bournemouth had placed a bid to take the youngster from them also sky sports news reported an unnamed club in league one had a offer accepted
Bournemouth's last 3 signings will be
eunan o'kane 175k torquay
waters wigan free
a left back reported kevin nicholson
Kevin nic plays for Torquay as well can't see us buying both
Who is Waters from Wigan?
Also, the trialist from Wigan, Waters, is a LB so it's unlikely they'll sign him and Nicholson...
Assuming AFCB is the mystery club for O'Kane then yeah it would seem legit but Darius Waters is still a youth player so nothing reall that moving about that. As for Kevin Nicholson I doubt it.
Have to get rid of Arter or Fogden then otherwise we'll look like the seven dwarves in midfield
O'kane---yes, done deal! waters playing on friday at poole pre-season and has trained all week as trialist ----possible development player. kevin nicholson---very unlikely ryan dickson of southampton more likely.
Groves has stated that we han't gone any futher than look at O'Kane so don't think we're signing him :/ Then who could the 2nd player be?
^ Ah but it should do us favours since we trying to keep th ball on the ground. Besides we got a fairly tall defence & Demouge upfront so it should fine :)
Demouge seems to be football shy, three pre-season friendlies and still has not played?
HE played against Winchester
How good was okane against Basingstoke tonight? Absolute class. Just need a midfielder with a bit of steel now, I would like to see an older experienced head in the enforcer role as I think we are missing a leader, Barrett is not a leader and in my opinion is not enough
25 Jul 2012 12:21:45

Saints are stilled interested in signing scott dann from blackburn to strengthen their defence
Southampton target buttland seems to have fallen through and fulham seem set to take advantage
Scott dann ,centre of defence birmingham relegated ,centre of defence blackburn relegated, if he signs i know where my money is going on who is relegated
Lost all credibility when you called him 'buttland'. Fulham may take advantage of our Buttner signing falling through, but not this 'buttland' person.
JJ
Not sure Fulham will get this kid either unless they pay what is understood to be a bomb for him. As for Scott Dann I really don't see that happening considering how long this rumours been about for and how little anywhere credible has mentioned this.
I presume you mean Buttner?
That'll be buttner. Good work on repeating what's been in the press for the past few days though.
Obviously, if you knew what you were talking about and were'nt just re-posting other peoples rumours, you would know that you were talking about Buttner, not Buttland!!
Buttner
You mean Büttner? In which case that is last weeks news mate!
I thought he meant Butland the keeper who was a target for Southampton...
If you're on about super jack butland, it will have to be an outstanding offer, and to the guy who replied first, how can you blame one player for a team getting relegated especially as when Birmingham went down, dann was injured we were alright until his partnership with johnson broke up
'Super Butland'? He's young and he's good but that's pushing it a bit. I have to say he's over-priced right now but Birmingham are right to do so they want to keep him so thats how to do it.
25 Jul 2012 12:15:44
I have heard that saints are still interested in blackburn player scott dann to boosten their defence

Charlton set to finalise deals for Sam Vokes and Zavon Hines this week. Leon Clarke will sign for Oldham for £75k. Paul Hayes is going to Scunthorpe for £120k.
Were are latics going to get 75 k from to buy leon clarke hope its true though.
I doubt this very much. We don't have any money for transfer fees. Hell, wages are enough of a problem to find. It'll be a free or nothing I'm afraid. Waiving a Dale Stephens sell on clause (if one exists) is the best chance of negotiating a deal I would guess. Hope it comes off tho - we're in desperate need of one more striker.
No Chance, Hines is going Colchester and Hayes will sign for Brentford
Seen as Charlton have already reject a bid off us already and we're not pursuing...
Hayes would be a great signing for sc***hrope
25 Jul 2012 12:05:52
Brighton, Palace and Barnsley are all competiting to sign Kanu from Pompey
Too old for us at Barnsley !!
Will go to Forest once Pompey collapse
Please no! I don't want Kanu at Palace! I wouldn't even wish that on Brighton! ;)
Yeah right ....
He wouldn't even make the bench at Brighton
Why?????
I heard this on talk sport earlier as well
Hope they have a good treatment room, cos thats where he spends all his time
No he's not!
Isnt he past his best by 10 years? forget the pompey players their just in it for the money!
What a load of rubbish brighton want a player much younger
Good Luck, he can't last 10 minutes in a game these days. He seems knackered just leaving the bench.
Kanu kanot be serious
He wouldn't make the beach at Brighton!
He's better than Barnes,Liam Lawrence would b a good signing for the Albion
Liam Lawrence? Yeah because he'd play over Noone, Buckley, LuaLua, Vicente and Barnes? He wouldn't make the bench.
Better than barnes!?!? Oh really? So how many goals did kanu score last season? Because barnes scored FOURTEEN! Our TOP SCORER! oh and barnes is only 22!
Let palace have him we could all do with a laugh this season

Glad its gonna be over , he wants to go to prem,tho how you can have your head turned by norwich is beyond me,lol.maybe now we can start to build a team that actually wants to play for us
If a player does not want to pull on the jersey let him go, Warnock will already have plans for his replacement. Onward and upward, one step back two steps forward.
Ken says the price is right

Pienaar , Bellamy , Defoe , Bentley , Samba , Bassong and Hoillet are the names on Hughes list, he has Hoillet already signed, Samba and Bassong will be in in the next 2 weeks and its two from the other 4, my money is on Bentley and Defoe, Pienaar wants to go back to Everton and Bellamy has his heart set on Cardiff, if we get Samba,Bassong,Bentley and Defoe we'll be sorted.
They are never going to sign defoe!! dont be stupid.
How do you know they wont?
QPR will only bring in another 2 tops forget Samba no way..
QPR following the Pompey plan, buy a load of overpaid players on wages you can't afford to sustain and go bust inside 3 years. GENIUS!!

Signing for a club going places - notts county
Please not Iwelumo he is crap , beattie was on loan for a while when at west brom he was useless please look at others
Please .......... NO !
We would welcome craig and chris and with hume and trundle plus another as backup in janaury sales well be fine
Scott beavon from wycombe many pne fans think its him but well just have to wait and see
Stuart* Beavon mate ^

Swansea set to take young Chelsea midfielder Josh McCeahran on a loan until January
Didnt they do that last season and flopped spectacularly?
We had him on loan last year and he didn't do much and he didn't enjoy it, doubt he will come back
No thanks. He was absolutely shocking down here last season. Not once did he play well.
Premiership clubs can only loan out players to other premiership clubs for a full season unless the deal is done in the January transfer window...
He did enjoy his time in Swansea. I spoke to him a few times. He was hanging around with Routledge and graham looking to take up golf. A lot can happen in a year and I think he would prove a good loan move for Swansea. He did show a bit of potential
25 Jul 2012 11:14:24
Wigan Left Back Darius Waters is training with league 1 club Bournemouth
Who ? Certainly isn't a Wigan Ath player
Who? Im a Wigan fan and ive never heard of him?
Wigan's?? Really?? Being a Wigan fan, I've never heard of him ;o)
^ he is but he's just youth player.
He had an absolute stinker last night in our friendly game so think his chances of a permanent deal are pretty slim
Took me a while for my eyes to edjust from striker to stinker.
My opinion of waters is he did not show enough against non-league opposition, would struggle at lower league level and would not take the risk if i was incharge at bournemouth.
25 Jul 2012 11:14:07
Any news about new derby forward
Heard its chris wood
Not until Steve Davies has been sold then im sure names will start to be thrown about.
Why are we getting one? Should be two if Davis moves on.
Only player I heard was Dave Kitson from Portsmouth
David McGoldrick from Forest having medical later today
I think we need one pronto to be honest. If we don't I think mid table might a tad optimistic. I think we will go backwards from last season, unless we invest in quality, even then they would be sold on within a year.
Doubt it mate
25 Jul 2012 11:10:51
Preston North End have announced on their website they have made a bid for a striker that has been turned down, but funds are available to increase the bid and land Westley's "number 1 target". Does anybody know who this mystery striker could be?
Yes - it is Chris Iwelumo
Billy painter
Chris Iwellmo from Watford
Could possible be Chris iwelumo from watford
Rumours are that it is Stuart Beavon from Wycombe
Lee barnard from southamton
Heard from a good source its billy paynter
25 Jul 2012 11:10:27
Sky Sports news say Norwich City have agreed a fee with Leeds United for Robert Snodgrass. Other sources report a fee of £3.5 million or £3 Million+ Andrew Crofts, but i don't think Crofts is only worth half a million.

Norwich sign snodgrass from leeds
Dont jump the gun mate, hes going to norwich for talks,just a thought if he does sign they will have most of our league 1 midfield
Not yet mate only in talks at the moment
To be replaced by your new signing andy gray lol.
a player even barnsley did not want.
I expect west ham to come back in with a bid now
Your league 1 midfield is better than your championship midfield....
Seems pretty definite though. Even Warnock is resigned to losing him.
I totally agree, our League 1 outfit was much better than anything we have had in the championship. and nothing yet has looked to improve that with the signings so far. need some proper quality!
Watch out for the name Rudolph Austin. the next big thing to play on the Elland road turf.

the signature of Joselu. West Ham are
believed to have had a bid for him rejected but are believed to be close to reaching an
agreement with Real madrid for his
signature. West ham are also

Danny Simpson amongst others

Just to clear things up, the reported price is 3m total, and just 1.5m up front. not 5m, not 8m.

former tranmere left back aaron cresswell is set to move to aston villa for 3.5 million. This means Tranmere will pocket around 700,000 from that.
So Villa aim to emulate Barcelona by deploying attacking wing backs because Cresswell can't defend - I know that, I'm a TRFC season ticket holder. Still, it'll put a smile on Johnson's face as the lolly lines his pocket. Me, bitter, nah
25 Jul 2012 10:47:28
Preston close to completing a deal to bring in Chris Iwelumo from Watford and last night they took a look at David Mirfin too - although Scunthorpe remain interested I suspect. Should conclude Iwelumo deal in time for the weekend fixture
Please take Mirfin......he comes free with big chris
Iwelumo not what i had in mind but lets see what hes got. Former Burnley player so could be tough for him winning over the fans :/
Strikers are a bit thin on the ground at Vicarage Road (what with Deeney being locked up and hopefully sacked) so I hope Big Chris stays. He's certainly a good pro to have around. If Watford are able to sign Steve Leo Beleck on loan then he may go. Mirfin is an unknown quantity but may wish to stick around now that Mariappa's spot is up for grabs.
While I think Chris has been a good team player he hasn't made the grade as a striker and hope this move happens & wish him well
Providing he's fit he'll do a good job for PNE
25 Jul 2012 10:46:58
Huddersfield will draw there attention to James Vaughn after not been able to secure RM. This as they could not decide how the fee would be paid.
The signing of keith Southern is on the verge of completion with the two clubs agreeing he can play in both the first and final 15mins of his testomonial
Done deal im afraid!! good luck and thanks keith...
Sounds like a proper professional which will be welcomed.
We don't need any more right midfielders, we have scannell and higgy who can both play there!
Great signing for Town, the glue to hold our talented midfield together. Now for a striker and central defender.
Right midfielder??? Please don't post anymore {Ed003's Note - I think the RM is short for Ross McCormack not a Right Midfielder}
RM- Ross Mccormack, not Right Midfielder
James Vaughan is our best striker at the moment so no way he's going on loan.
25 Jul 2012 10:39:40
Chelsea are looking to loan out new signing Thorgan Hazard for the season many clubs are interested but Norwich look to tie up the deal soon.
No doubt it very much. he will be shipped back out to france or spain lower leagues like other U21 chelsea players. If hes not ready for 1st team football according to CFC they wouldnt want him to just sit on NCFC's bench!
Apparently, their sister "Walkin Hazard" is going to head up the cheerleader department.
Honest.
Cannot believe that for one minute
I thought they bought Eden hazard they got his brother as well or did they give 20 odd million to wrong club {Ed001's Note - they got both.}
IF Snodgrass signs, Nowich will have 10 Midfielders, I doubt another will be coming in. {Ed015's Note - Apart from McEachran.}
Just to clear it up Eden played for Lille and Chelsea apparently payed £32m for him, Thorgan played for Lens and Chelsea a couple of million for him. Both wer completely different deals. Thorgan was signed a month and like 2 weeks later

Gillingham have enquired about Lee Hughes. Source: SkySports.
Let's hope he doesn't come to us for obvious reasons ! Decent player,yes....decent person....I think not !
Are you sure that you have not confused Lee Hughes with Mark Hughes (ex Barnet Skipper) that Martin Allen has worked with before?
Oldham in for him too
No as it was on SkySports flashing ticker.
Oldham have spoke top him but he wants high demands, so we won´t sign him as no player is bigger than our club.
Mark Hughes is deffo on allen's list but lee Hughes is a confirm on skysports . Too risky if u ask me would rather have someone younger ...
I agree, lee hughes is just another potential tommy johnson, izsle mcleod would be a much better option.

Nigel Clough admits towns move for Derby forward Steve Davies could go ahead this weekend
Iv just been told by a fairly decent source, ipswich have neared the 1 mil were asking for davies, and with varneys money pompey owed us, look forward to seeing a new striker fairly soon, maynard ? sammon ? who knows but would love someone capable 20 a season man
I think 20 goals a season strikers are very rare, but I would love a 'fox in the box'...doesn't have to be a real fox either!
Clough stated that he thinks the deal for Davies will go through in the next week or so. No replacement will be in place before the Burton game. Source RD interview after the Mansfield game.
25 Jul 2012 10:21:59
The daily mail and the mirror have announced that Huddersfield are interested in signing James Vaughan from Norwich because huddersfield have give up trying to sign Ross McCormack.
Im sure they are interested. like a few clubs a loan move has been mooted however the way he has started pre-season he wont be going anywhere. looks very sharp. ready to pay for that 2.5mill spend on him!
Don't know if vaughan is the right answer but we need someone up top with rhodes if we want to finish top half!!
terrier85
Can't see why we should look to let Vaughan go. He hasn't had a chance to prove himself for us yet and has looked lively so far in pre season. He should get competitive football with us not for Huddersfield.
The Daily Mail? That's why its such a dodgy rumour...
It looks likely that he'll feature for Norwich this season if he can stay injury free
No chance, he's looked our best striker in pre-season.
LOL been our best player so far this pre season
Terrier85, we have lee novak! isn't he good enough, he is young so give him a chance!
Please Norwich keep Vaughan as a forward who as scored only 17 goals in 8 seasons is not for the Terriers
If anything it will be jordan rhodes going to norwich not vaughen to huddersfield.
Both extremely unlikely.
17 goals in 8 seasons (due to injuries).
1 goal in one pre-season match. OTBC
2 goals in one pre season half*
No i agree novak is quality,fast and stretches the game but think still need another genuine goal getter, i'd be happy with that after southern comes in,and extra cb,dont need too many,upsets the core of the team!
terrier85
2 pre season goals
I think championship will suit lee novak more would like to see more of him this year! dont forget novak got 17 goals as well
Novak also led the team in assists with 12 , if you ask me RhoVak is the way to go

Torquay have excepted a bid for O'Kane from a mystery club in league 1. Rumoured to be Coventry, Swindon or Bournemouth.
Not much of a mystery then, more like a stab in the dark.
Please be City!
Its Swindon
I heard that they had ACCEPTED a bid.
Bournemouth are the club
Coventry are the club
We'll see...
Its bournemouth said in the paper
Groves has stated that we've only looked at O'Kane so it's proberly Coventry or Swindon then.
Hoping its coventry
It is swindon town he anounced today

west brom look to complete the siging of michael owen on a pay as you play deal, also hot news that graham dorrans is leaving the club for 5.5 million to fulham. you heard it here first
Dorrans is ok - but 2m absolute max
Well the first part was a total lie so the 2nd part looks unlikely
Your Full of crap! you heard it here first... muppet, Owens going to Stoke and Dorrans is part of Steve Clarks plans this season!
WBA are neither interested in signing Owen or selling Dorrans!
Expect a loan move for Danny Rose, a move for Patrick Helmes and possibly going back in for Doumbia of Rennes
Dont think dorrans will go highly rated at the albion , as for owen cant see this happening either
Dorrans isn't going to Fulham trust me
Pay as you play? Owen will be bankrupt by December!
We are Ok for midfielders at Fulham and no way would we be paying this sort of money for Dorrans.
I'd welcome Dorrans
I hope dorrans will stay he started to hit form at the end of last season
What is wrong with owen alright so he is injury prone so is odemwingie at least owen is a natural goalscorer worth a punt i think
Did somebody just say Dorrans is worth 2m max!? the guy is easily worth 5.5 mil. 4-5 mil at least
Dorrans is part of Albion's future and will not be leaving. It is a big season for him.

I got the information off a mate who works for the clubs corporate events
Is there any truth in the rumour that Ishmail Miller From Forest is a target for Boro
Curtis main not going to Sunderland and Ipswich don't have first dibs on wickham because as his contracted to Sunderland,and been a Sunderland player not an Ipswich player Sunderland would have a lot to say about where he goes not Ipswich,nothing in his contract would have the words Ipswich town in it
Main is sure as hell not worth 4 million!
Can't see it he's from south shields and a massive Newcastle fan he hates us
Yeah good luck with that 1 haha
Yeh well
1 main is not experienced enough for the pl
2 4mil is too much of a risk
3 Mowbray won't want to sell such a young prospect
4 he's a Newcastle fan so he not going to play for the macams
Not a chance
Hilarious stuff keeps me smiling lads. No Curtis isn't worth £4m - he's twice the potential of Wickham (erm, comment about experience for Prem spot on). Wickham cost what, about £8m? So on that grounds Main is worth £16m. Yes its a joke, but so was picking up a v young lad from ITFC.
George friend is moving to ipswich not boro now
^WRONG^

City are close to siging heaton but apart from that theres nothing its all gone quiet at ashton gate
Henri Lansbury Seen At Ashton Gate, Season Long Loan.
Looks like heaton will sign within the next day or so but what about Wilson? He has a groin injury does that mean the end of his trial with city ?
Heaton is having medical at city today and if he passes it will be a done deal
All wrong, Paul Anderson is next in as he has just signed earlier this morning!

Hoilett transfer to go to tribunal as QPR think Blackburns valuation is too high and will not let them have Mackie. Right decision as expected figure will be about 3.5
Would be about right. blackburns valuation is a tad high, its not theo walcott
He is worth at least 8m
Hoilet has been at Blackburn for 9 years and has made over 80 first team appearances, sturridge was at city for 4 years and make 20 appearances and they got 6.5million with add ins and 15% sell on fee. Blackburb should at least get the same if not more for hoilet
Every clubs valuation is high and above the realistic price there not going value u a player less are they they try get every penny they can
If he was under contract he would maybe had been worth more but he is not. So the fee will only be compensation and nothing less. 3,5 sounds a bit high since Chelsea only got 3 for Sturridge.
Yeah but he's a free agent we shouldn't have to pay 6 million for training fees
He is unproven, if he scored 20 goals last season and 10 assists then maybe but unlike top 4 who can command big money for under 24's as they bring them up with no exspence spared.

Preston North End to take Burnley Duo Alex Macdonald and Kevin Long on Loan
Long maybe but we won't be loaning macdonald this season
Preston will do well this season if true,both quality young players
Can't see this, another midget forward and another centre half, I certainly think central defense has been covered in the recruitment campaign thus far.
Kevin Long! Do Preston need another centre half?
Kevin Long is a very good center half so stop putting him down and in the 13-14 season i reckon he may be fighting for a spot at burnley.

willie mckay is back at doncaster and has managed to help bring beckford in a season long loan!!
Cant see Beckford going to Doncaster
Really as John Ryan said he wants nothing to do with him
Why would we want to bring a striker in before we have any defenders, we have 4 defenders, don't talk rubbish
Love to have him in league 1 even if he is a ex-leeds f avourite but cant see it happening he easily championship level
We dont want Willie Mckay hes not good news for the club,hes wrecked it.Hes a bigtimer that likes to flash his money about.He has ruined DRFC.
Shut up saying he ruined the club, he got diouf fgs was brilliant in rovers colours rovers were down last season with him so shh

The Sun says Brighton have beaten Tottenham, Arsenal, AC Milan and Valencia to land Balmy, 18, from Le Havre.
All four clubs tried to sign the midfielder last season but Seagulls boss Gus Poyet finally netted the starlet.
Nothing confirmed by the club yet.
That is a barmy rumour.
As a pne fan I say we should h
Well North End landed a barmy manager last season why shouldn't Brighton have a balmy midfielder ?
I've heard this a lot in the argus to scored for us ima friendly
I think if I was a professional footballer I would also pick Brighton over all those clubs! I mean why play for AC Milan if you can play in Brighton??
He played for Brighton in pre season game in Spain, he had a great impact on the game and said he enjoys gus football
25 Jul 2012 02:07:45
Burnley finally set to land Brian Stock and Sam Vokes before their tour to the south west.
That would be two brilliant players coming two Burnley but i thinkthats not going to happen (Burnley Fc Fan)
Stock has failed 1 possibly even 2 medicals
Defo a good shout, whether stock will come or not isnt 100 percent cause of his injury record, and he is second choice to another cm were after, vokes is a definate
Because all the above offerd academy football because he's not values asks a first team or resever player .brighton have offerd him a first team football clause in his contract .mybe brighton think he's better then the other 4 clubs or maybe there wrong
25 Jul 2012 00:47:45
Fleetwood trying to sign Dele Adebola. Not even a fleetwood fan. Just that I seen Dele the other day whilst fishing down Devon and he said that he's spoke to Micky Mellon... Take it he's the manager? And he's keen to bring him in.
He is training with Burton and is a former team mate of Gary Rowett so i can see him signing for Burton

Apparently Aston Villa are going to bid 3.5 Million for Aaron Cresswell, it's just a bit of gossip and it's probably not true! Definitely hope not but I thought I'd share it on here.
Source being the Daily Mirror.
Its on sky sports we are interested so must be some truth in it
According to local paper ITFC have put a value of £6m on him, but seeing as he rejected a move to WBA last season,has just bought new house and wants to settle in Suffolk doubt he wants to move.

burnley set to sign sam vokes in coming days , subject to medical .
Going to Brighton - they are offering more - £15,000-a-week to blow Burnley out of the water.
Already had his medical at Burnley.Will be announced 26th.
Y? He was pants wen we had him. Give owen 15k a week or santa cruz.
15K a week? he would only be Burnleys 3rd/4th choice striker, he's not worth that much
15,000 a week!!! Ha ha course they are!
Brighton can have him hes s*** !
He wont be on 15k a week at burnley you fools, more like 8k, Brighton dont even want vokes, plus vokes would rather come burnley causew of links
Owen wont drop to the championship and santa cruz would probably go to either blackburn or a premiership team , burnley would never pay 15 grand a week , he would be a quality signing tho .UTC
Have him. He is a waste of space. No where close to being good enough for brighton. Then again not good enough for league 1.
Vokes has Alot to prove he wasnt great was he
Burnley would pay 15 k a week as that is there limit for wages ....
Is it eck ! Jay rod wasnt even on 15k a week and he was out top earner on 12k a wk
Jay was on about 8 our top earner was amougou on 12k

Aston Villa make 3.5 million bid for ipswich left back but ipswich want 6million
Ipswich don't want to let him go, but 6 million would probably do it.
£6.5m and they might have a deal.
Every player has his price,but town would be mad to sell him unless he really wanted to leave.steve Davies will sign for town within the next 3 day,info direct for the traing ground this morning.
Haha who in the Ipswich squad is worth 6 million. Could probably buy you the full squad.
60 million and they might have a deal. Top class left back.
Haha. No not the case. If 6 million puts off Villa then I'll be more than happy with keeping Cressie.
Why would villa put a bid in for another full back we got lowton and lichaj i would rather buy danny simson and he would go for less than 6 million also why would we buy an unproven player for 6 million
How is he unproven?
Nooooooo Cressy must stay
Cresswell is a left back, and a good one at that for his age. He is priced at £6 million not because he is worth that much, but because we want to put off any interested clubs in making an offer.
Davies and friend to sign for Ipswich within next 2 days.genuine
Cress well will sign for villa for an estimated 4.5mill with add ones up to 6 mill as soon as friend signs which should be within the next 48 hours.news direct for portman road
Friend will go to nottimingham forrest
Friend deal only if Cresswell is sold.

Oldham are set to sign former Grays Athletic midfielder Cameron Mawer, he impressed during the behind closed doors friendly vs Hull City
...of Arseley Town in the Evo Stick Premier? Seems like quite a jump to League 1 to me....
What was the score then between hull and oldham
3-1 Oldham
1-0.
Was Cameron Mawer number 14, when I was watching, I was wondering who he was. He played well by the way.
1-0 hull, 89th minute winner from aluko

Watford set to sign highly regarded Thorgan Hazard on loan in a 6 month deal from chelsea, the brother of the highly rated Eden has been made available for loan following his transfer to the blues.
Oh please if you are a fellow Hornet stop embarassing us with there silly rumours.
Complete and utter rubbish
There may be some truth in this
This could be possible as Chelsea have said thorgan could be sent straight out on loan
Load of rubbish, they signed him to make Eden Hazard feel more at home, so why would they send him out to another club? Chelsea have already announced he will be part of the Under 21's development squad this season!
With the number of trailists/loanees already at Watford he may not be able to sign. Is there still a FL limit on loans? I count 5 Udinese/Granada players with us at the moment.
With udinese and granada and now watford because all the players are 'pozzo owned' they usually transfer player registrations to the club the player will play for that season i.e when zola selects the ones he wants they will be watford players for the season to get around ruling on the amount on loan signings a club can make
I agree I don't think watford will get him, but they have said they plan to loan him out!
If you read on, it says that Chelsea may well send him out on loan
We could be signing his younger brother - Fyre.
How do you any of you know. he might want to get some experience of english football under his belt. So, when he gets back to Chelsea he will know what it is liked to play english football even if it is at league 2 or the premier league
24 Jul 2012 22:54:14

Sebastian Bassong to QPR.
Cant see this
Even though Qpr's weakest link is the defence right now it is not that weak.

Reading striker Brett Williams is currently on trial at Burton Albion
What teams see in Brett Williams is beyond me he is supposedly a striker and has scored something like 5 goals in 60 games. He was playing youth football in Southampton youth league never got in the team and all of a sudden he is playing professional football and no way should he be a pro footballer. Non league is his level.
God, What have you got against me.
Brett
?? Well I've seen brett play a fair few times now and in my opinion he could easily get in a league 1 team.scored a few in league 2 also hit the woodwork 3 or 4 times even though he was played on the wing the majority of the time
McDermott makes bad signings as well as good ones, he is human after all. Those shocking signings of particular note:
Cedric Baseya - 0 goals in his entire career
Brett Williams
Marcus Williams
Karl Sheppard
Unfair to say Sheppard is a bad signing. Hasn't played due to injury
Brett Williams has never really had a chance to shine, nor Sheppard due to injury.
Marcus was a free and lead to us signing Ian Harte because of his dreadful footballing ability so i'm not bothered.
Give Karl Sheppard a chance, had we not gone up I think he'd be on the bench and we'd have probably lost Federici, Kebe and possibly Le Fondre. He's only 20 I think, in 5 years time he could be the new Robbie Keane
