Man United news:
Rio's continuous injury problem is a matter of concern for Fergie that is why Fergie is ready to sign a defender in January...at the moment he is looking at Subotic Sakho and Shawcross and a move for one of those three is on the cards bur don't get shocked if you see Sol Campbell in a United shirt...

Dave king and a consortium of business men from south africa are going to buy rangers from sir david murray for 25 million pounds and there going to clear the debt and going to give walter smith 6 million punds in january to strengthen his squad plus the funds what ever players he will sell
My mole in Soho Sq tells me the ongoing saga in the case of Nathan Tyson, Derby County and Nottm Forest informs me that the delay in teh hearing is due to Derby County who have asked for the maximum time allowed to prepare their defence.
This is perhaps wise as Tyson will get off with a warning but two Derby Players will be fined £10, 000 each for turning the flag waving incident into a fracas.
Both clubs are also expected to receive substantial in the region on £40k–50k with Derby getting the bigger fine.
Watford will let either Hoskins and Ellington go out next week with Notts County and Leeds intrested in Hoskins and Millwall keen on Ellington
Notts County are close to ageeing a deal for Birmingham Citys Gary Mcsheffrey on a 6 month Loan Deal
Notts will then have first offer for the player should they wish(bcfc want around 750K for the player)
Been reading a lot of rumours on here recently linking Ronaldinho with a loan move to Man United... I'm just posting to let everyone know that this will not happen despite Wayne Rooney telling SAF that he wants to play along side Ronaldinho. Carrick + £7 million for Modric in January is the one to be on the look out for.
Liverpool are said to be looking at Robert Snodgrass of Leeds, after impressing against them in the cup
Rafa Benitez likened him to Dirk Kyut (hardworking attacking midfielder) he is a cheap option because Liverpool have no money
A few ACTUAL Rumours:
First on the list is Man Utd. They won't make any signings in January and if they do, it'll be for a younger player. This is because Fergie is contemplating retirement at the end of the season.If he satys on, it will be for a single season only. In the summer, they are NOT looking at a goalkeeper. Foster is proving himself and Kuszczak is a good backup, hence the reason they won't need a keeper as they have a good 8 years in them at least. He doesn't feel they need a winger. Nani, Valencia and Giggs are doing well, not to forget Obertan and Park still there. What he will be looking at is a CD, with Ferdinand aging and losing a bit of quality, shown in the derby and Vidic who is too dirty and wants to join Barca. I was surprised to hear Christopher Samba's name thrown into the mix. He wants a world class defender though and will try his upmost to bring in Giorgio Chiellini. He isn't looking to bring anyone else in.
Arsenal will sell Fabianski. Mannone is showing quality and will replace him as Almunia's no. 2. They are looking at Mamadou Sakho and Henri Saivet. Expect Jimmy Briand to sign for around £10m tops.
Chelsea's transfer embargo means a lot of their stars want out. Anelka, Alex, J. Cole, Ballack and possibly even Essien could leave by August. Ancelotti is thinking about leaving aswell, although it isn't something he's thinking too strongly about.
Liverpool have seen Prince Faisal something or other express a large interest in them. This is either because he wants to buy a 50% share in the club OR build a football academy in Saudi Arabia. The prince has said hehas almost bought 25% in the club (half of Gillett) and wants another 25% (half of Hicks). The yanks have said he was only discussing the academy but why would he be watching the Hull match if he wasn't buying into the club. He was also there as Gillett's own guest, so I'm guessing Gillett was showing him the team he'll be a part of soon. He was also supposed to be taken in the dressing room after the match to greet the players. This will see Liverpool clear of debt and in the best financial position out of the top 4. Aguero, Villa, Joaquin, Tomkins and Silva are already being monitored and could arrive in the summer.
Finally Man City. They have almost built a world class squad, but lacking in places. Defence is worst, shown by conceding 4 in the Manchester derby. They are looking into Taye Taiwo of Marseille for around £8–12m. Neuer is being contemplated with Given aging. £15m is the tag though. Ryan Shawcross in the final player there, for £10m.
I read a comment there by some1 who says his brother is luka modric's agent..i agree with his comment cause i also heard from a good source that modric is on his way to man utd in the summer as they still don't have a good winger.also michael carrick wants to move back to london so spurs will be in the hunt there thou a surprise move to arsenal (+ the fact his english) could b on if they stay in the champions league.Arsenal are also linked with Luis Fabinho.At the other end of the table birmingham city r on the watch for sol campbell.

Ok my first one on here but its a good one and real nothing about player transfers but still food for thought.. anyway spoke to my mate who knows a steward at the arseanl apparntley he saw fabianski hope i spelt that right as i know how sum man on here are ... anyway fabianski is not a happy man he rekons no likes him in the team!! not fallen out with them in a bad way just don't like him like hes and outsiders no friends within the team and hes not to happy about it true story not saying hes gonna leave becasue of it just something for chat sake ai anyway peace out love this site!!
Lazio striker Goran Pandev could well be the reason that a certain Mr. Wenger has ended his interest in Marouane Chamakh. Now, I understand that us critics of the Premier League have been watching the performances of Mr. Nicklas Bendtner with amusement at his lack of balance, and astonishment at his incapability in front of goal. However, the boffins from Lazio must have seen something I have missed, because they are weighing up this transfer:
N. Bendtner + 5mil in exchange for G. Pandev
I'm not going to complain if this does happen though, even if it does seem a little harsh on the Italians. I'd love to see Bendtner leave the Premier League, and I wouldn't mind watching someone like Pandev in his place, even if he does have a temper to match Drogba's and an ability to dive to match... well, Drogba's. But I'm sure Arsene will be thrilled, nonetheless.
As for Chamakh, I think he will move to Lyon as a replacement for Benzema and Fred. I worked this out from a hidden message in my cryptic crossword the other day. The gods have spoken.

Can anybody tell me who Birmingham city might be signing in the January transfer window? Be grateful if anybody gave me any info.

Now that the people behind the notts county takeover have announced themselves, the FL will finally approve the takeover and rubberstamp it. then notts county will complete the signing of ade akinbiyi.
Also all rumours of mcparland being under pressure will be proved wrong as he will stay in charge at county for some time. this is because of notts' great home form, and the support the fans have shown towards mcparland.
I new name today this time by Arsenal Fans Agbonlahor !!! get a grip he is a life long Villa fan and do you really think he will leave his boyhood club and fans and risk them all turn on him don't be silly, his family lives in Aston.
Guzman to arrive at Villa in January
Prince Khalid Al–Faisal has bought a 25% stake into Liverpool FC. This much has been revealed, however when asked about it a few days ago he said that they were "seeking to buy a 50% stake into an English club who have £254m debt". This means that he is in talks over buying out 25% of Hicks. When he does this then he'll buy the remaining 25% of Gillett, who is only staying at the club because he knows Hicks will destroy our great club should he hold the majority stake. This will be completed within the next 2 months and Rafa will see £15m to spend in January, with £200m debt being cleared off straight away. Joaquin will arrive for the £15m. In July will see the big boys arrive, with £60m being allocated. Aguero and Silva will arrive for £35m + Benayoun and £15m + Riera respectively. Should Silva choose Man United then Ribery is next on Rafa's chart, although he will have to sell to make the £50m asking price. Rafa is now looking at Ashley Young and Tom Huddlestone aswell as James Tomkins as the English players we well need. Voronin, Degen, Dossena all defos as leaving and should Hull get relegated then rumours of Myhill coming in as Reina's deputy with Cavalieri joining Corinthians.
Well according to my contact within the emirates arsene is looking to add some english talent in the summer and he is looking to add some depth into the squad in january.
