Rumors gathering momentum that West Bromich Albion will replace Roy Hodgson with a caretaker manager until the end of the season (If Roy decides to leave Albion immediately). Eventually he will be replaced by Gary Megson with Glenn Roeder when they both leave the Aston Villa scouting staff at the end of the season.(7)(26)Why would he leave immediately. Theres is only two games left in the season so would probably finish them of, because the england job wont start really until the euro's, and secondly, if he leaves now, the FA will have to pay compensation to WBA, which would be stupid, because they can get him for free in a couple weeks!A good shout would be michael appleton who seems to have cut his management teeth with portsmouth, not his fault they got relegatedMegson christ league 1 here you go

Rumours round the B2net is that on loan midfielder Franck Moussa is to turn down a permanent move to Chesterfield in the summer to join Walsall (Moussa is out of contract at Leicester this summer)
Also heard the spireites are after Burton midfielder Jacques Maghoma(11)(4)Where did you hear about the link with Jacques Maghoma?
29 Apr 2012 23:01:02
Although terry Connor doesn't want guedioura to leave the club he will be making his loan move to Nottingham forest permanent after the Algerian midfielder hinted that he would love to stay at the club.(13)(13)With nottm forests ongoing financial issues i believe you/they would have to sell one of your/their best players in order for this deal to go throughSo as the all the championship teams look to reduce wages to comply with FFP forest will be signing a player on premier league wages!!We should do everything in our power to keep AG. He is easily one of the best midfielders in the league. However like most clubs in the championship we are proper skint....and Wolves are not skint!

roy hodgson talking to fa regarding england job(26)(4)
I hope notGod help england boring football will be playedMaybe england will actually start winning now.
i can't believe that all you people moan about is boring football. IMO there's no such thing. you watch football because you enjoy the sport. good defending is just as good to watch as good attacking. england have been awful for years, and there is now a glimmer of hope for them and all you can say is that "boring football will be played"? I find that astounding.So you would rather watch west brom than spurs! get alife! redknapps the best man for the engld job! and thats from a gooner!Gerrard quits international footballI would prefer hodgson to redknapp harry only does well with money look at what roy hodgson has done at west brom hes turned them around hes good defensivley and thats what england lack i would be delighted if he took the job also im a man utd fan before you start saying im a baggie
p.s redknapp never stays anywhere long he would probably leave after euros so give it roy
THE HEMMINATORThe fa just dont want harry because he speaks his mind! the fa dont want aggro! yet they give cappello a 6m a year deal! what a joke they are!Yeah cus Redknapp had loads at Portsmouth?While i respect hodgsons cv,what happened to him at liverpool! and surely harry deserves an interview! typical fa,no class!so far!Portsmouth didn't have any money when Harry was there, however still spent millionsHarry has been messing about with the England job for far too long. You cant be naive enough to believe they never approached Harry. They will of done, but unofficially as to not undermine the appointment of another manager as being "second choice", "sloppy seconds". Roy is probably England's second best option and his experience and ability cannot be questioned. I hope he brings success.Listen, the only reason they went to hodgson first is to give them a stronger bargaining position with spurs. Otherwise it would be up to levy and redknapp to name their own price. HR will get the jobGood old Woy far better choice than the "wheeler dealer"Well done the f.a,dont want tarnished arry the man is a disgrace to all hard working people.
29 Apr 2012 20:06:50
West Ham to sign Paul Konchesky and Lee Peltier from Leicester City after the play-offs whatever the result(9)(31)No chance

29 Apr 2012 20:06:49
Southampton to re-sign Andrew Surman and buy Jay Rodriguez and Matt Phillips as they look to bolster their squad for the premier league next season(23)(31)Jay Rodriguez apparently off to Reading for £5m and Simon Church going the other way.Would be 3 good signings whether they'll happen or not would be a different matterAnd hopefully Pele will agree terms with LeedsDont get carried away mr saint you have no chance getting surman. I would look to portsmouth you might get 1 or 2 of them.I dont see us going for Surman but believe me if we did he would come back.If surman had the choice.. He would prob choose the saints, As his heart is with the club... Only financial problems at the time, Caused us to sell him.
29 Apr 2012 19:54:23
Reading are keen on Niko Kranjcar from Tottenham. He wants out from and with Spurs likely to sign another midfielder his time is up. Reading, with the new investment money and the cash gained from promotion will have to fork out a fee of around £5m with wages around the £30,000p/w mark.(29)(22)He wont cost £5m. Half that, and they are interested, but so are Saints and WBA.We wont be paying players 30k a week. This is a complete non starter
29 Apr 2012 18:38:17
Tony Mowbray set for a busy summer,deals already in place to sign David worrall from bury,grant lead bitter from Ipswich and Barnsley skipper Jacob butterfield(16)(13)Butterfield is off to Reading. Talks began last week on a free transfer. Compo will be awarded to Barnsley due to his age.Butts is off to newcastle 2mill fee agreed just to agree terms2 million fee agreed?, funny that, cos hes a free agentCompensation U23 stops going to a FA tribunualWeve sent the taxi to collect Leadboots h'es on his way, enjoy his crab sideways and backward passing movements,

West Ham to sign Josh King from Manchester United(17)(12)How many strikers do west ham need?
Cole, Carew, Vaz Te, Maynard and others
29 Apr 2012 18:33:04
Burnleys Jay Rodriguez on verge of a 5M move to Reading with Simon Church on to Burnley has part of deal(14)(26)Unlikely because Church ain't worth a penny. Would be a great signing for reading thoughFunny that, Church is highly rated at Reading and would cost in the region of £2m if made available.
However this rumour is nonsense. Reading are not interested at that price. Good player but can't justify that fee yet.Think your find hes set for saintsLOL at any newly promoted club taking an expensive punt on someone with no PL experience.
For £5-6m you can get Yakubu twice!
Wake up! {Ed003's Note - Very good player}Isnt Jay Rod a free transfer? {Ed003's Note - He has 12 months left on his contract,Burnley will cash in this next window}That's funny because I'm a Reading fan and can tell you Church is not worth £2m.I believe Jay Rodriguez is also a target for Lambert at Norwich this summer.Another one of the million players the Library club are buying...New Man City?Because your a reading fan doesnt mean you know the value..numpty. Go back to football managerWhy is Jay Rod getting so much praise. Don't get me wrong im not a Burnley fan so I don't know how good he is week in week out. However looking at the stats paying 5 million pounds for a striker who is only joint seventh top scorer in the championship seems a bit risky and not prolific by any stretch.Ha Ha Connor Wickham anyone!! How much did he go for??An 8 mill minnimum fee has been put on jays head as five prem teams want him! reading are not one of them teams either.Bags of ability, more to his all round game than scoring goals. Definitely can step up to the plate in the Premier LeagueMust admit im also not a Burnley fan....But i do really like the look of J-Rod! All round ability that this lad has got is something special.At the right club he can deffo get in the full England squad.What an exciting English prospect Burnley have on there hands. 8M Sounds cheap to me.Can we swap him for Andy Carroll. {Ed025's Note - you would get 7m change as well..
29 Apr 2012 18:29:30
West Ham to sign Roger Johnson for 4 million whatever league they are in(14)(28)Please take him, Good riddance. Nothing but trouble if you ask meLol funny rumour this ...but yeah please take the guy and his mrs.....! everyone knows he only looked good alongside dann last year and now hes been proven out again...rubbish...., call it half a pint and hes yours!!Not only trouble but a very mediocre championship standard player.
29 Apr 2012 18:20:03
Peterborough United are in talks with four players for deals that could be completed by the end of May, just in time for pre season.
Ebbsfleet midfielder Neil Barrett has been training with the club with a view to a one year deal. Barrett is set to sign the deal before the end of this week and the 30 year old former York player is keen on the chance of returning to the Championship after a number of years with Portsmouth.
Young Arsenal striker Zak Ansah has also been training at London Road and is set to sign on loan for the whole of next season. The teenager is highly regarded in North London and is expected to sign a new five year deall before the deal is completed.
Manager Darren Ferguson has been looking for a goalkeeper in the last few months and looks to have come across one in Northern Ireland international Michael McGovern. The 27 year old stopper is available for around £65,000 and could sign a three year deal from Falkirk.
Finally, another non league player in Greg Young could sign a one year deal. The Alfreton defender has played Altrincham and Halifax in the past and has not had a lot of previous Football League experience. Young is a free agent once the season ends.(2)(11)Please tell me this is an awful joke
29 Apr 2012 18:02:43
500k for Steele,that won't happen,steele worth between 4 to 5 million.Middlesbrough selling Thomson,McDonald,arca,hoyte won't be offered new contract along with Martin,ogbeche(4)(7)4 - 5 million - against what benchmark - he is an average second tier keeper - maybe a £1m - if he is worth £5m what would someone have to pay for say Krul or Hart - £100m! - be sensible - he should have prevented both goals yesterday !
29 Apr 2012 18:01:54
It has been mentioned in dispatches that Chris Humphrey the Motherwell flying machine is desrined for the South Coast, after an amazing end of season purple patch.
Humphrey was linked in January 2012, but Motherwell took him out of the firing line and he missed the chance to impress. Southampton, would need to put a decent bid in to price the Flying winger away from playing Champions league next seasonm with Motherwell football Club.(8)(7)Flying?? Whats he on Red Bull? He's just an average scottish player who'd do a good job in league 1
29 Apr 2012 17:47:13

Charlton are closing in on a deal to sign Jason Puncheon. The saints winger is said to not be involved in Nigel Adkins premier league plans. Charlton are the favourites as they stressed an interest in January(22)(6)Your WELCOME to HIM! He'll want to MOVE to ANOTHER CLUB IN A FEW MONTHS!!
29 Apr 2012 17:31:46
Watford are hoping to pursuade Fulham in to loaning Kacaniklic until Xmas(8)(5)I would like this to be true but i doubt they will want to as they recalled him and played him
29 Apr 2012 17:25:16
Prolific Tonbridge Angels striker Frannie Collin is subject to a 50,000 bid from Gillingham. Brentford are also keeping tabs on his situation as Tonbridge need the money to strengthen teir team for next season after the budget was cut(7)(4)
29 Apr 2012 17:16:23
All those people who were slated for the Kean (Blackburn) out, have now been vindicated in their protests. Listen to the fans.(1)(15)The Venkys choose Kean because he was the cheap option, the same reason big Sam was sacked, to save money, then they have cashed in by selling Phil Jones, and also got many high wage players off the books as well.
Kean's Playing career was almost zero, never made Celtic 1st team, played 4 times for Swansea on loan and that's about it, no previous managerial experience so what exactly did Venky's expect.
Expect it to get worse with the Venky's still in charge when you are in championship next season, especially if they continue to stick with Kean.It wasnt the fact the fans were protesting, it was the aggresive way they were protesting.
Kean only got the job because his agent was the advisor for the Venkys on their takeover.
Of course you need to have had an established playing career to be a good manager, just like Wenger, Ferguson, Hodgson or Mourinho
29 Apr 2012 16:43:35
With Wolves relegated Leigh Griffiths is someone who they will most likely use as a squad player rather than sell him(6)(9)

29 Apr 2012 16:22:53
Barnsley to sign james coppinger from doncaster(13)(14)They have the lowest budget in the leagueAnd your point is?Ipswich are favourites to sign him
29 Apr 2012 17:06:31
As Wolves are relegated, a host of players are set to leave.
Matt Jarvis being looked at by a host of clubs, Swansea and Sunderland being the favourites to sign him.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake to Ipswich
Kevin Doyle could join Celtic but Fulham hoping to scupper the deal with Everton also showing interest.
Kightly's contract is up at the end of the season and Watford look the most likely to get him on a free after he enjoyed a loan spell with the Hornets(14)(13)Kightly will get a new contract at Wolves, he's been possibly our best player in recent weeks. Ebanks will most likely be part of our plans next season too.Kightly's contract has another year to run - just one of 47 reasons he won't be joining Watford.All those players you have just named will most probably still be here...i spoke to jarvis after the man city game last week and he said he owes wolves and he loves it here...he said its perfect for him...he will not leave£3.5m fee agreed for Doyle to return to Reading. He's top of McDermott's list.LOL at Jarvis saying that! He has an England cap. He wants to play at the highest level. Money also comes before loyalty. Accept it, sadly that is what todays game is all about.I think the third response is what TC dreams about at night.I believe Villa will be keeping a close eye on jarvis and kightlys situations when they are finally deemed safe. They are in dire need of a consistent winger and with wolves being relegated jarvis will definately move on and kightly has rediscovered his form. Since kightly has either a couple of months or just over a year left on his contract he could be brought for anything between free and £3.5 million.
To the watford fan above..... Dream on kightlys on the up unless he stays at wolves. He wont take a step down.If he doesn't want to take a step down why would he join Villa?Best rumour of the day football league fans i have missed you...! JARVIS YEAH hes off and thats fine only performs in glimpses anyway hes idol! kightly back to watford looooooool crazy i cant even name any of you star players... he loves wolves and will be back for a championship title push next season.., as for blakey your welcome if anyone can get fat boy to shift that weight they are welcome to him! doyle is more likely to be going with us keeping fletcher which out of the two is a much better deal...hes been a loyal guy and wish him well...., keep these cracking rumours coming please ;)What all you Wolves fans are forgetting is that your income has now dropped by £30m pa, you can gamble on a bounce back but if it does not happen then you are screwed, within two years you'll be in league1 in administration.
A poor team in the prem is still a poor team in the championship, rebuilding is required to plug the gaps. That means spending money that you have not got. Financing that by selling players will reduce the wage bill at the same time as providing a team to compete.
Oh yeah I forgot Wolves are Ji-ints and don't need to work to a budget like everyone else. If you lot don't start getting real very soon you're in for a tough few years.
29 Apr 2012 16:01:08

Southampton may re-sign Andrew Surman from Norwich as some Norwich sources say he may be leaving the club and Southampton sources are saying they are interested in him.(19)(16)Rubbish rumour, under contract to Norwich and played well this season so unlikely Norwich will agree to sell, unless Lambert has other target to replace him
29 Apr 2012 15:56:26
Shrewsbury Town will sign Aaron Wildig from Cardiff City. The 20 year-old midfielder has impressed in his loan spell at the club.

Leicester reportedly interested in Marvin Emnes.(6)(17)
29 Apr 2012 15:43:45
Bristol City have made a £500,000 bid for Middlesbrough goalkeeper Jason Steele.(7)(28)Based on what evidence?500k for one of the best young English keepers, dream on,when Steele leaves it will be for 5million plus to a champions league teamWhy would we bid for steele anyways. we have gerken who is a decent champ keeper. All we need is a NO.2. I heard rumours that we wanted the fleetwood keeper??

norwich poss outs e ward z whitbread andrew crofts andrew surman simeon jackson leon barnett steve morison wes hoolanhan adam drury david fox wilberham all our bit part players under lambo ward and whitbread are 12 game a season players both spend to much time in the sick bay /////irk(4)(13)Dont agree with alot of this.
Ward yes, has struggled recently
Whitbread no chance, when fit has been our best defender this season by a long way and played the most of all our CBs.
Crofts likely to go as hasnt featured much
Surman will stay, playing well and scoring goals
Jackson can most likely go as not featuring now Vaughan is fit
Barnett Can do one, not good enough
Morison id think will stay, needs to sort his head out and get back to his form from the first half of this season.
Hoolahan, no chance he will leave, our most creative player by a mile. Him and howson in front of a new DM with 2 wingers and 1 up top could cause havoc.
Drury will most likely leave
Fax will stay, good passes, dictates tempo very well
Wilbraham will get another year as he is great for the dressing room and is happy on the bench.
29 Apr 2012 15:35:31

Lukas Magera is set to return to his former club on a free transfer. Alan Connell is being looked at by Burton Albion, Exeter City and also Chesterfield.

Swindon will look to secure Southampton loanee Lee Holmes and re-sign Jon Bostock on loan for the season from Tottenham. Swindon are also looking to capturing Steve Howard who has just been released from Leicester City. Rotherham United striker Lewis Grabban has also been linked with Swindon, the Wiltshire outfit apparently bidding around 200k for the Yorkshire man last week.(9)(3)Don't forget Dave Rihoy and Ross Allen from Guernsey!Apparently rotherham are also looking at alan connell because leyton orient looking at signing alex revell back

Watford inns
Tomaz kuczczak
Paul Taylor
Matt Ritchie
Rory donnelly (loan)
Dave kitsnon
Joel ward
Tommy smith(8)(18)Donnelly possible as is Smith depending on QPR's status. Kuczczak may sign after contract offer, but a response may be a few days off due to the birth of is child. Forget Kitson, Taylor & Ward & RitchieSmith would be a good acquisition. Ward is an almost certainty to join ipswich, Ritchie will stay at swindon as their newly promoted, kitson would be ok along with donnelly. What i cannot understand is that loach is a brilliant keeper and id rather have him than kuczczack
29 Apr 2012 14:28:38
Burnley are interested in signing Leicester captain Matt Mills on loan for next season after the former Reading defender fell out with boss Nigel Pearson.(4)(17)I bet they areSorry mate but he's on his way to leeds !He's on 40k a week, as if Burnley can afford that - and Leicester wont agree to share the wages.Wont be going anywhere near Leeds you wont put the cash up for him and didnt he already snub you in january? hes Leicester born & bred so he will want to stay & fight for place
LeicesterLad

Halford and Pearce have agreed moves, Pearce most likely to Leeds.
Also Ben Haim will be leaving as his wages are way too high and his refusal to come on the pitch at the lap of honour last week has disgraced many.(15)(2)Sad to see pearce go, he is a good defender along with halford. However, im glad ben haim is going, he is overrated and should have been sold in the summer
29 Apr 2012 14:20:57
Connor Wickham could be back in ipswich next season for a season long loan as M.O.N looks to sign new striker and believes Wickham needs games and goals!

Charlton to sign Billy Paynter from leeds along with John Bostock from spurs. Lee Martin who had a loan spell at the valley last year is keen to leave ipswitch for a return. With only one right back at the club (chris solly) charlton are looking to resign Yassin Moutakil. Powell has also stated in an interview this week that 'Andros Townsend is a player we are keen to have on board'. Danny Shittu is likely to make a return to the club he started his career at. Glenn Murry at palace wants to end his at nightmare slehurst park by making the short move too charlton. Anton Fortune is also ready to call time at his career with west brom and make a move to london with charlton as the likely outlet.(7)(18)Haha lee martin will not be leaving ipswich! he only missed 4games this season! why would he join a club that will struggle to stay up this year!Cuckoo, cuckoo - first one of spring! Lee Martin publicly stated wants to stay at Ipswich, wants new contract so no way moving to Chorlton,Lee martin is not going to leave ipswich to come to charlton, he has only just told the press that he wants to be at ipswich for years to comeLet me get things straight, im a charlton fan, yes lee martin wont come to us yes he said he wants so stay with you but my point is
A) Charlton have more funds available and are a more attractive club than Ipswich
B)We will be higher up than Ipswich, i am close to the club and im tried of people posting rubbish on here so im telling the truth, we have some VERY good signings done and lined upCharlton fans trash talking, trying to act like a big club, aha. Enjoy your spell in the championship as your off back to league one next season. Cheerio.OFC Ipswich have had a wonderful season finishing in the dizzy heights of 15th. You only just scrapped past Donny and were wooped by Millwall what a finish. Norwich, now there's an East Anglian team to watch! :PLOL the soffolk massives aer at it againThis is just a load of rbbish whoever wrote this. Moutaouakil is at Hayes and Yeading, Billy Paynter as a rumour is a year old, Bostock probably won't come, Martin as people have said will stay, Powell's said NOTHING like that, Shittu would be plausible if not likely, Murray won't come, Fortune won't come. We're only interested in signing players who see us as a step up apparently. Or, that's the logical conclusion, based on the signings we've made under SCP. And whoever said we're going straight back down - look at our form, our squad, and - well - everything.

These players wages might be too big for that!Oh and to pint out, as of yesterday evening, all of your players are now free agentsWhen are pompey fans
going to realise they cant
afford the wages of
the players on that list
about time you woke upHowards a free agent so no loanTo the person that likes to pint things out, the players have not become free agents as they are still contracted to the club except for the few whose contracts have expired. thats why pompey are able to sell most of the squad. It would cut the wage bill if they were free agents. so drink your pints instead of writing rubbish on hereI hope that they do get ellington cos him and futcas would be deadly in league 1

Well out of Evertons reachesAdd 12 million to that jarvis fee and 10 million onto dempsey it would be believable...oh know it wouldnt cause everton fans are dreaming about big signings for low fees...get real, you are skintJarvis is worth more than 3 millJarvis 3 mill more like 7If you believe the papers the 6 million would be enough for dempsey as he has 1 year left on his contract and is 30!I'm a Palace fan and we turned down a 7 million pound offer from Bolton in January, he's down on a five year contract. We wouldn't take 3 million for him. Keep dreaming as everyone of them players would cost more than you've stated, just a kids mind running wild again.

Watford are reportedly looking at Northampton winger Michael Jacobs and Wolves striker Leigh Griffiths(currently on loan at Hibernian). All completely true, whether deals can be done remains to be seen.(5)(13)Leigh Griffiths is very much in Wolves' plans due to their relegation, but Jacobs is a possibility especialy with Aidy Boothroyd as the Northampton manager

Luka Modric is set to leave Tottenham this summer with both Manchester clubs heading the queue for his signature. Tottenham reportedly rejected a £35m bid from Chelsea last summer but a similar fee may see him leave the club this year with no champions league looking likely and Harry Redknapp set to takeover the reigns as England manager. Gareth Bale could also be on his way, Barcelona are willing to offer £25m along with Ibrahim Affelay but Spurs want £40m cash. Emmanuel Adebayor is another player who looks unlikely to be at the lane next year as he is not willing to lower his wage demands. Tottenham's new manager could face a major rebuilding job should he lose these players but i'm sure Daniel Levy will give him at least £50m of the money to spend.(16)(12)How is chamions league not likely , a win today will put them 4th with the easiest run in. no point in commenting on Spurs coming and goings until season is finishedLets clear this up? According to ssn, premier league world & most media chelsea reportedly offered £40 mill for modric! Two teams from spain have bids on the table and it now seems psg are interested in the player? As for bale I personally dont think he will go? just some information that has passed which thinks he wont go! as for redknapp the quicker hes out the club the better! adebayor probably won't stay! spurs will invest they will also look to modify their pay structure!Harry redknapp signs for inland revenue,they want to learn his tricks,how can england even consider this man.

Beckford to return to his beloved elland rd.FACT(29)(29)Leeds one of relegation favourites, Beckford already at much bigger clubSorry, how are we relegation favourites? We'll have a new team next season, its impossible to tell where we'll be, but with Warnock in charge, I doubt it will be in the bottom three. I think its fair to say that without their money, Leicester would have been relegated this season, the way they started.
wallyBeckford is going to West HamLeeds favourite for relegation? What are you on? Get ya facts right and stop making random stuff up. Leeds much bigger than Leicester FACT! End ofSure you deluded half wit, thats why were early favourites with several bookies. Also if i remember rightly Beckford gave an interview when he joined Leicester and maintained that Leeds was the biggest club he's ever played for (not the answer that they were looking for lol). Beckford didn't even bother to play yesterday for Leicester (too busy admiring the Leeds support that never forgets those that have achieved at the club and offered to swap shirts with Bruce.
Come home Beckford - Midlands is a sh^thole full of tinpot cardboard cut out fansIf he goes it will be to eland road ps I'm a Leeds fan from the midlands be niceBeckford to Leeds, get real , with Bates in charge no chance he will release the funds to sign him, nor pay his wage demands, he's on something like £20K/wk at Leicester , Warnock will instead go for his old timers, so called proven players at championship level, either free transfers or loan jobs, and frankly I see nothing but mid table for next season and Warnock sacked by Christmas, so Bates can use him as a scapegoat."LEEDS BIGGER THAN LEICESTER" HA HA HA HA
deluded leeds fans on ere make me laugh your still living in the past mate.
LeicesterLadLeeds 1 Leicester City 2 . . . . . enough said! . . SibboDo any of you leeds fans follow football at all. A little thing called FFP kicks in from next season...so EVERY club is having to reduce wages.

Southampton wish list:
Morten Gamst Pedersen - 7m
Buzsaky- 4m
Kevin Doyle- 4m
Roger Johnson- 5m
Robert Snodgrass- 5.5m
Kyle Naughton - Loan
De Bruyne - Loan
Clyne - 5m
Marvin Emnes - 6m
Andy King - 4m
Wilfried Zaha - 8m
Any few of these should fit the bill to make saints a strong team for next year :)(7)(33)I will drive Johnson there myself and throw in Stearman but please let us keep Doyle.What a team of players in relegated teams and the championship? great team thereOh yeah that definitely doesn't work. Look at the obvious failures of Norwich and Swansea who just bought loads of Championship and League 1 players and the blatant success of QPR who bought established Premiership players.Dream on stop taking the fairy dustPlease take roger johnson just have him!! we dont want any moneyRight..
- Pedersen: Too old and done nothing for bburn this season so no.
- Buzsaky: Not done much for QPR so can't see us signing him.
- Doyle: Will be overpriced, has been relegated with both his prem teams and averages 10 goals a season.. not what Saints are looking for.
- Roger Johnson: Possible. Was good at B'ham and we could do with another CB, if the price is right maybe 2-3 million max.
- Snodgrass: Quality signing. Would be hard to get from Leeds but if they don't show intent for next season can seem him getting impatient and wanting to leave. Expensive though, up to £5million for him.
- Naughton: not bad signing, probably will be competition for him. Probably wouldn't come as I don't think we would start him and he could get first team loan elsewhere.
- De bruyne: quality loan signing but unlikely.
- Clyne: quality signing but will be hard to get. Will be expensive.
- Emnes: 6 million? Get to. Going no where near him. Maybe a couple million to have him as a bench warmer, not 6 mill though.
- Andy King: No thanks
- Zaha: good player, think we could do with experience though, rather than over priced youth.Where re you going to get that sort of money from certainly wishful thinkingAlso, What about the team that took you up to the premiership, going to ignore them are we, if saints go this route, it's certain relegation end of next season, talk about loyalty to players that got you to the promised land, Sucks£5m for Clyne and Naughton on loan. Two right backs, really?Southampton fans are funny....you will hardly invest im sure but yeah come and take johnson hes a fantastic players isnt he ..., i mean look how good he was at birmingham the year before he joined us wow amazing..., and doyle hmmm doubt you will get him out of your budget ladsNearly 50m in fees, another 5-10m in sign on and agents 300k per week in wages (15m a season x 3 year deals = 45m)
Rumour should be ... Southampton to get over ambitious and re-enter administration as the fierce rivalry over financial mis-management rages on in HampshireHow is this Southampton getting ambitious? Its one silly fan getting over excited about going to the prem. Saints do have money but they try to spend it wisely. They probably wont get any of these players.

I think 2m will be enough as you need the cash and the lure of prem football will make him come. Even tho I don't know who actually is.

Welsh club Neath Athletic will join the Western League in the summer, after being denied a Welsh Premier League spot.(3)(7)Heard this one as well. Surprised they'd been denied a spot in the WPL (heard they're short of cash though).
Would they really want to re-start at Step 6 in England? Ok, they could 'do a Guernsey' and get promoted easily but think of crowds and revenue. Unless they get good crowds, which won't happen unless they are in the FA Vase/Cup they will struggle to attract fans whilst their neighbours are in the English Premiership.

Frank Lampard and John Terry will join QPR in the Summer after Euro 2012(19)(72)What and play in the championship lolHaHa, what so they can finish their career's in championship.
If they do survive in premiership do you really believe QPR will pay £150,000+ each per week. Fernandas is a multi millionaire not a billionaire who has already thrown stupid money on wages for Mark Hughes so they could get some so called top players in.Ye and I'm about to join Real Madrid for an undisclosed fee as a replacement for Ronaldo.Yeh and terry will room with anton ferdinandBoth has beens
terry a liar bilityTerry & Lampard - past their best, - yeah right, that's why Chelsea will keep both of them next season, and compared to the poor expensive signings and large wage bills added by Hughes still top players.
Hughes spent big at Blackburn, and Man City with Man City still trying to offload some of them, because of high wages.
Should be fun in championship next season for all you QPR fans............Presume you mean IF they stay up.
Lampard - possible, Terry - no chance while Anton Ferdinand is there.
If QPR are going to throw silly money around then perhaps, but Di Matteo won't want to lose these two players as they are key to Chelsea.
29 Apr 2012 03:24:23

portsmouth to try to maintain a reasonable team to play next season it will sell for : pearce,kitson,lawrence,huseklepp,varney,benjani and henderson.
portsmouth tried to keep with it : ashdown,ward,rocha,mokoena,norris and futacs
besides having players from the academy: sam magri,chinedu vine,lewis tallack,adam webster and ashley harris
with sales portsmouth collects the money,not spend anything with transfers and will maintain reasonable for a team championship to disappear
with this,the team owner of portsmouth for the season 2012/13 will be:
1-ashdown
16-tallack
3-rocha
5-magri
15-webster
4-mokoena

2-ward
17-harris

18-chinedu vine(4)(19)Really sad!
In another few weeks there will be no money left to pay any wages, so where are the funds coming from to run the club?You have no money to spend person you owe and are in debt you should be closed down.You can't even afford your training ground mate, let alone these players...
Your even applying to south coast colleges (Itchen College from Southampton is their favourite) just to be able to train at all.

Freddie Sears(13)(14)I take it you aren't aware of the new FFAI rules that come into effect from next season?
If West Ham balls up promotion that MUST sell all their top players, otherwise they face millions in fines from the Football League.
Google it if you must, and I suggest you do!
There will have to be so many changes at West Ham it will almost certainly destroy any promotion hopes for next season as well. You currently opperate with a £38m wage bill.
Your owners can only put in a maximum £6m next season, £5m the season after, and then £3m.
That'll be the sound of bubbles bursting then... LOLJermaine johnson is not good enough for west ham

Watford are signing Tomasz Kuczczak from Manchester United (free), Michael Kightly from Wolves (free) and Tommy Smith from QPR and Ian Harte from Reading (free).(5)(27)Ian Harte has been offered a new one year contract.Reading have offered Harte a new contract, as Reading will be PL next season why would he reject the contract to go to watford?
Also hes at the end of his career this may be his last chance to play PL football.You will not get Harte.It will be part of a deal involving Marriappa going the other way, plus £2m to WatfordIan Harte just signed a new contract so good luck with thatIt's just another kiddie with his wish list.Hartes been offered a new dealWhy would we want harte? we have no hope of getting him. also im fairly sure kightlyis under contract at wolvesKightly is in a long term contract.Harte is gunna sign a new Reading Contract

Kevin Doyle- Wolves- 5 Million
Jonny Evans- Man Utd- Loan

Peter Whittingham- Cardiff- 4.5 Million
Craig Gardner- Sunderland- 5.5 Million
Southampton-
Luciano Becchio- Leeds- 2 Million
Morten Gamst Pederson- Blackburn- 7 Million
Akos Buszaky- QPR- 2.5 Million
Stephen Ward- Wolves- 3 Million
Sebastian Bassong- Spurs- 5 Million
Mark Davies- Bolton- 4 Million(9)(46)We will not spending anything like that (Reading). Half that, yes.Jonny Evans is a knob, dont want him, interesting to see you've made up different names to the usual though, nice work!Reading Fan. We won't get Doyle, Evans and Gardner. I can see us getting Whittingham only if Cardiff don't go up. Bertrand would be nice considering he is loved at Reading but will be in the chelsea first 11 more as Cole is picking more injuries as he gets older so will be hard to get him. Reading will keep there signings hush hush and will not know which players we will bring in until they hold the shirt. Southampton are even more unbelievable.To say Reading won't be spending that kind of money is naive. Obviously we won't do a Man City but if a player is right for the club and we can potentially make profit from his sale in the future, i don't see why we wouldnt shell out 'a few quid'2 million for Becchio! Youre having a laugh!Where Southampton getting 35.5m from ?Pedersen not wrth 7 million, he only worth 3 at least, he has done sod all for rovers this season.
lmao about Evans - bit puzzled why he would go out on loan when he is a united first teamerSaints fan here. Becchio Realy ? Wou
ld much prefer snodgrass sharp and snodgrass i beleive would give a quality workrateNo chance Wittingham, not even for double the amount you have listedYou wont get doyle idiotWhat time do you want ward i will deliver him myself freeJohnny evans is going NOWHERE.Mark Davies to Southampton, dream on."Where Southampton getting 35.5million from?"
Debt free + £90million promotion.... you do the math.
Although personally I wouldn't want any of these players anywhere near my club. COYR"Where Southampton getting 35.5m from ?" Er ever do math at school? £23.5m

Watford have Tomasz Kuszczak, Scott Loach, Renie Gilmartin, Jonathan Bond and Tommie Holban. Why would they need another keeper?Lol Taylor is Not a keeper as he's scored 12 goals this year! He has 1 year left at Peterborough and he's being sold to a West BromApologies. I read it as Paul Jones! whoops.Also kuszackz is only on loan and gilmartin is out of contract.

Also bear in mind all Championship clubs must bring their outgoings down to £6m as of next season, then £5m the season after, and then £3m.
Wolves have a £24m wage bill to massively reduce!In his current run of form west ham would not sign coleRelegate premiership sides get one year to comply with the new financial regulations.
Both Wolves and West Ham (if not promoted) will have to reduce the wage bill otherwise they will be in deep doo doo

Hayden Mullins wont be bought as he's not prem standard, Church and Hal Robson Kanu are playing their last games before being loaned out next season, Jay Tabb and Joe Mills are playing their last games before being sold next season Gunnarsson may take part in what will be his last game for reading Connolly will be snapped up fairly quick, Harte has been offered a contract, Reading have spoken to a player abroad but the player in the Monday Danish league game Polvsen will not be snapped up, Cedric Baseya and Bignall as well as a few others will be departing the Royals come the Transfer window

URZ(7)(2)Why do Reading fans rate Connolly so much. He is st as shown today. He would be the worst signing we could make along with Mullins.

SAINTS ARE IN THE PREM!!!(36)(46)We are premier league we are premier leagueHa! At all the unbelievables who predicted 'Saints bubble would burst, we would slide down the table and would not finish in the top 6'. We are laughing at you all the way to the Premiership.For 12 months...Pompey relegated to League 1 last Saturday, Saints promoted to the Premiership this Saturday.
So Ms. Willoughby it would not be fair to the rest of the male population for me to have all the enjoyment, so put your clothes back on and be off with you!Nah mate we've got the players and the money to get middle table next seasonHope you really balls up and go back into administrationGood luck & see you next season back in
the championship93% of championship income spent on wages. If they spend money to try and stay in the prem then I hope they have relegation clauses built into their contracts. Or else their wage bill will top 100% when back in the championship.Well done saints deserved great support don't take notice of the small minded prats who follow small clubsCongrats, see you next season. (from a reading fan)
p.s. Take no notice of the jealous numpties.Because if you follow a big club you have a bigger mindAlthough fantastic news and happy that you are in the premier league once more, im confused as this is a transfer rumours page now unless im missing half the text on this post and there is numerous possible transfer targets underneath, was there really any need to post it? i mean im sure everybody who enjoys football is well aware that southampton football club are in the top flight of english football.

let's wait and see who else will leave portsmouth(18)(9)Pompey fans at forest were superb today, nearly 2500k and really noisy. Loads of soul unlike southampton who were mince.Mokoena would probably get sold, don't know where though.
Ben Haim has said he will quit, he may go to Partizan Belgrade to play under Avram Grant.
Rocha is out of contract but may stay if no one is interested in him as he is quite old now.
Futacs has said he wants to stay, hopefully he does.
Ashdown will probably stay.
I really don't know about Etuhu, I think his wages are quite low so he could stay if he is wanted.
I really hope Ward stays, I know Ipswich are interested though.
Norris says he wants to stay.
I believe Halford is close to being sold but it hasn't been revealed who is buying him.
Mullins contract expires this summer and he will leave.
Huseklepp will be sold to Norwegian side Brann.
Benjani and Kanu will be released.All b sacked no money leftReally do feel sorry 4 pompey. Good luck fellas. Lcfc t.i.dDexter blackstock do do do do wow 2500 showed upGood ridance hope u never get back.....Southampton can only dream to have real fans in their plastic, flat pack, soul less stadium. Glad we dont have to visit St marys next season, and I look forward to pompey getting promoted back to the championship as their fans create the best atmosphere.

Got off your high horse.(9)(6)Completely agree, the spl has supplied us with some quality players such as Maloney, goodwillie, kris boyd, Scott McDonald(actually wait the entire Middlesbrough team) , back on our high horse... You didn't even produce Jelavic he was a proven goal scorer before he joined youWell said sir, well saidYh but jelavic was good before going to the spl. Look at his record at rapid vienna i think it was......Yeah that's why he's in the epl not the spl75% of SPL players are are of League 1 standard.
15% of SPL players are of Championship standard.
10% of SPL players are of Premier League level.

The Southampton head scout Bill Green is flying out to Rotterdam to watch Feyenoord vs AZ Alkmaar on Sunday. He is monitoring AZ defender Dirk Marcellis and midfielder Maarten Martens. These are seen as potential targets by the Southampton board, and tie in with Cortese's policy of signing cheaper players from abroad (Green was in Holland this time last year to watch Steve De Ridder and Rydell Poepon, the second of which didn't happen in the end). The transfers are largely dependent on whether AZ qualify for Europe, as they are currently second in the Eredivisie, the only place for entry to the qualifying round. A combined bid of £5-7m is though to be on the cards if saints go up and AZ fail to qualify.(26)(9)No it's not Rotterdam, it's Rotherham you tube

Aberdeen midfielder Yoann Folly has also been linked with a summer move to the Saddlers {Ed007's Note - I have seen quite a bit of Cerny, he was instrumental in Hamilton's promotion to the SPL and done his part in keeping them there for a while.

Also hammers won't be able to pay the asking price.Definately need to sign him when not injuredWill you be needing him in the championship next season?Shame he staying at wolves then wants prem with the club he lovesRobert Green on a free is too much to payHaha , good one.And what about Henderson who they signed from Pompey, come get real pleaseLooool ok because hammers are a bigger club than wolves arent they going places....? and wayne is out until just before xmas so cant see that happening and cant see him leaving either loves the club"in the summer if west ham fail to gain promotion" Dont you mean when?

Hal Robson Kanu

Cedric Baseya(6)(21)We wouldn't sign Zaha or Rhodes from that list in my opinion. They'd cost too much - for the pair you might be able to afford Gylfi Sigurdsson for example.
Also I can't see HRK being sold, or necessarily Church. I can see them being loaned out.Brian Mcdermott quoted saying the guys who got us to the promoted will have their chance in the PL, so your outs are unreliableWish list I think - not realistic target listYou are not getting rhodesAll the players you want are at bigger clubs Than you why would they come to readingAll the players we want are at bigger clubs?
Reading - Premier League
Conolly - Parent club is QPR and he is out of favour (hence why we have him on loan)
Zaha and Clyne are at Palace WHO ARE CHAMPIONSHIP
Rhodes is at Huddersfield WHO ARE LEAGUE 1
Reading are bigger than both these clubs
What a retarded commentI'm a Palace fan, Clyne's a possibility he wants to play in the Premier League and has turned down a contract from us and looks set to go via a tribunal.
Zaha's unlikely I believe though, we turned down 7 million from Bolton in January and can't see us selling unless a better offer then that comes in. He has stated his desire to stay too and only signed a 5 year contract in January.

Reading FC - RCB-Connolly - CM-Mullins - defos. Also looking at cresswell,rhodes,n'doye,clyne bertrand,butterfield,mcgugan & vicente.(6)(10)Why are we getting Mullins he is st. He has nothing to add and does nothing with the ball. Opposition go past him with ease in the championship imagine when it is against better players in the premiership. Conolly ok but personally prefer cummings because of speed.Butterfield definite after turning down new contract 5x rise & Newcastle [local press]We would have cummings & connolly as our 2 rbs as well as connolly covering cb.mullins will do a great job at replacing tabb & gunnarson but needs to be 4th choice cm.If this is your team next season prepare to be anihilated 100-0 by Man City.Nothing is definite, this guy knows nothing.
Why keep linking us with ndoye, he does not play for either of the teams brian recently went to watch.Bertrand is a fantastic left back and mcgugan is unplayable once every few months

Millwall set to sign Troy Deeney from Watford.(6)(11)Millwall - where are they going to find £3m!Troy Deeney is a very promising young player! BUT NO WAY IS HE WORTH £3m! IF HE IS THEN JAMES HENRY IS WORTH ALEAST 5m!No way! why would watford sell their top scorer to a lower championship club.James Henry has potential but Deeney has stepped up in the last 6 months.
Now that he plays in his preferred position he is a 20 goal striker at this level.
He doesn't have a market value of £3m yet...but WE know that by next season he will be....so we wouldn't sell him for less, and he wouldn't go to Millwall. Only team he would go to who aren't in a higher division is Birmingham.
27 Apr 2012 15:18:52
Hi Ed, any news on why Richard Shaw left Millwall as coach? also do you believe the rumors that Trotter will be leaving Millwall? {Ed001's Note - I am not sure, some people think he has another job lined up, while others say he was sacked.

As far as I am aware Trotter is keen to stay, though a good offer might change that of course.}(0)(1)

Was sorry to lose him from Derby. More than held his own against Premier defenders and maybe we might have got more than the silly 11 points we ended up with if he had stayed the whole season. Hope he gets to play on for a few more years.

Alex have also included a 20% sell-on (based on profit of sale).
Crewe are in talks with Reading striker Baseya over a possible switch on a free transfer.
The former Saints youngster arrived at Reading this season on trial and then signed a short-term deal. Promotion to the Premier League has come to soon for the striker and he is free to leave this summer.(6)(14)Pretty sure this is rubbish, I've heard Baseya is going to HibernianMy nephew is at Crewe and news to them.

Take this with a pinch of salt but 2 months ago I was told LFC would be looking at bringing in a new manager as KK was going to step down. I was told that they wanted someone IN THE MOULD of pep guradiola. A younger manager who would bring through the youth.
After hearing around a week ago that Pep was leaving Barca I did some digging, and was told we are going to make a move for PEP himself if he was to leave. I was told this by a source who is hit and miss, so I then contacting another one of my sources, he is reliable 100% of the time but rarely gets or gives ut info as he doesnt like to put stuff out there that is not certain. He told me he heard whispers but nothing more so it was more than likely rubbish but would look into it for me.
He phoned me this morning as has told me that John Henry has contacted Pep and has asked if he would be interested in taking over. Pep has told him he is very interested as he likes our academy, and wants the challenge of taking LFC back to the top. However, he wants to take time off so could not committ. Henry has told him to think about it till the end of the season, and tell us then. My contact told me that we are willing to make the 2nd highest paid manager behind only Jose at Madrid, and are willing to give him around 50M in transfer funds plus sales.
Like I said, take this with a pinch of salt, but when this source tells me stuff it usually works out. He told me 5 bits of info in the last 18 months. One was Torres out, the 2nd was Carroll in, the third was Henderson in, the fourth was that we would not get Phil Jones as he was going to Utd, and the fifth was that Commolli was being fired.
Macca have you heard anything of this? If not , I advise you to look into this. 50/50 right now but I fully expect Pep to take over this summer.(7)(22)Absolute bull, pep could choose England or chelsea if he wanted. . .What teaser you are?Another RS living in there dream world haha! that post made me laugh, the fans r a joke, the club is a joke. going down next year so keep KK hahahHaha liverpool thinking they are still a big European team. Tragic. He is having a year out from football then will go to United or Arsenal. Di Matteo will keep chelsea job after some great results, Mancini is getting City up where they want to be, it would be stupid to get rid of him. Liverpool are a tin pot team who aren't even a champions league team anymore.Must have been the Carling Cup win that swayed himHe'll probably go to a bigger club like evertonYou really ARE delusional are,nt you.Choose england ha ha,they only employ tax dodgers,or other losersSave all that salt, it will come in handy with the chips on your shoulders. Kopits with delusions of grandure.He's made it pretty obvious he wants a break from football, so he won't be going to Liverpool {Ed025's Note - if he wants a break from football?...i think anfield is the perfect choice...lol

im a reading fan and ed please post this on rumour page
im fed up of all the glory hunters saying reading are going straight back down look at norwich and swansea there going to finish mid table and the last time reading came up everyone said we were going back down but we were 1 place of the europa league
so all im saying is dont write us off we got a new chairman who wants to spend.
reading lad(17)(14)I don't think Reading will get relegated, however look at QPR they have money to spend and at the moment its only just about working, money doesn't guarantee survival. Though Mcdermot is a very good manager, so i recon you will be safe!Don't take it to heart. I am a Norwich fan and I too was fed up of all the crap people were saying when we were promoted and we would go straight back down before we even kicked a premier league ball. So for all those who doubted us stick it up your brown eye ha ha ha. you cant criticize a club before they have played at least 10 games of a season so give Reading and the other 2 yet to be decided a chance.You havent got a new chairman, the chairman is the previous owner, you do have a new russian owner that is wealthy yes an i do hope you stay up tbh bt dont go thinking you can by the world as their are teams richer than you i.e Leicester and that shows you cant pay for success immediately as Leicester havent. All reading fans will now be thinking you can win the prem, . . You cant but goodluck :)Why would a glory hunter want you to get relegated? Swansea and Norwich have better managers and they kept a lot of the same players, its not about spending loads of money. Hence why QPR are in the brown stuff.QPR are in the brown stuff because they were thinking short term when they hired Colin.. Had they thought long term instead they'd have realised hes not a good enough manager the Prem9th richest club in the world with AZ and his father behind you - but also note that they have said they want to continue being prudent and wont do a Chelsea.
I expect you to spend more than the likes of Swansea and Norwich, or you certainly will when the "right type of player" becomes available; but Reading will continue to be sensible.
Good luck to you! Cracking club. Lovely stadium and the plans to make it 38,000 are very impressive I have to say!
Your East Stand will be the biggest single tier stand in Great Britain, possibly Europe at over 15000.
Good luck next season!Better managers? How do you draw this up? It about spending money the correct way.Stop whinging. Doing your club no favours with your moaning. This is a football rumours page, get over it kid.Why get a bigger stadium you have no support anyway don't get above yourself at the end of the day you will always be league1 sizeDont worry dont listen to it always get that in football any way and on here afew people on a wind up and football is about opinions all what matters is what you think btw i think you will stay up, a well run club aswell a good model to followIm glad that reading will be in prem next season, i think you have every chance staying there to. Injoy the summer new season will soon be here, people who post that reading go stright back down are not worth worrying about. Matt ncfc fan

paul lambert to be next villa manager ss sun paper(16)(32)Mirror seem confident Lambert will go as well. If so then I can see Second Season Syndrome hitting Norwich.
A lot of their players, good as they have been, are still Championship and League one players who fit in well to Lamberts style.
Add in egos, relaxing attitudes since staying up (it happens at every club after the first full season up). I think they'll go back down next season without Lambo.
Shame. Nice club.But why Paul Lambert? He wants his teams to play football and this is Aston Villa we're talking about, where the words 'Villa Park' and 'football' are as synonymous as 'Anne Widdecombe' and 'beauty'.Oi leave off aunty AnneBig rumours now coming out of villa park that roy hodgson is top of randy lerners list.What a load of old tosh, paper talk and everyone starts to believe it.
Lambert has fantastic support at Norwich and is well paid, he will also receive substantial funds in summer to strengthen and go again, why do you all just assume he will leave Norwich for Villa, maybe he would leave for a top 4 club, but he has everything at Norwich to give him a shot at getting in the top eight next season.Im norwich fan and i do belive this is paper talk. Do i belive P.L would leave us for aston villa? Yes i do outside of top 5 there is no club bigger than aston villa. Lambert will be in charge of one of the big boys one day. So should villa come calling we should wish lambert all best. Thank him for 3 great years. Not knock the bloke if he feels he needs to move on. Matt {Ed025's Note - no club bigger than villa outside the top 5????...ever heard of everton mate?Ed what year did everton win euro cup, i also remember villa being prem L ru up. I belive they are every bit as big as everton {Ed025's Note - they are the 4th most successful english club of all time!...enough said..Liverpool man u nottingham forest aston villa. All won euro cup when only champs took part. That didint make them big club. That made them best club.Ed sorry i miss read your last post.

Pep WILL be leaving Barcelona!!
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has told Drive Time that the coach will end his association with the team after attempting to win the Copa del Rey on May 25 against Athletic Bilbao.
It is believed that Guardiola told Barcelona officials he couldn't take the club any further and was physically and mentally exhausted after four years in charge.
The Spanish boss has led the Catalan giants to three La Liga titles in that time as well as two Champions League titles, two Super Cups, two Club World Cups, three Spanish Supercopas and one Copa del Rey.
But after defeats to Real Madrid and Chelsea in La Liga and the Champions League respectively, despite his players playing some of the most eye-catching and breathtaking football in the world, they look like they will only be able to win two domestic trophies this season.
His incredible feats as Barcelona manager have also been recognised on a personal level, seeing him gaining the Don Balon coach of the year three times, La Liga coach of the year three times as well as take the Balon d'Or for best coach in 2011.(16)(9)

Liverpool may have moved a step closer to signing Uruguayan star Gaston Ramirez after his agent revealed they have received a bid from an un-named Premier League team for the Bologna midfielder.
Ramirez has been one of the star performers for his club side in Serie A and has been attracting interest from Kenny Dalglish.
The Liverpool manager is set to make a number of changes during the summer and has been strongly tipped to make a move for the 21-year-old.
According to Italian TV station TMW, Ramirez' agent Pablo Bentancur has confirmed that a Premier League club have made an offer for his client and a decision will be made at the end of the season.
Bentancur said: "Bologna have received an offer near to 20 million Euros from an important club in the Premier League.
"Bologna will decide at the end of the season what they are going to do."(12)(6)I'm confused a good player reasonable price tag. This is not how Liverpool do business!

Brian McDermott has claimed Reading FC are after 3-5 new additions preferably before the start of pre season. McDermott has rubbished reports of an 8million pound swoop for Eagles players Zaha and Clyne. On the topic of Gylfi Siggurdson, McDermott stated that Gylfi is likely to go to a top 4 team in the Premiership. These comments were made after McDermott finished scouting a potential transfer in Denmark. It is said McDermott watched Odense's 2-1 home defeat to Aarhus. Source is Reading FC Post.(8)(7)Mcdermott did not rubbish links to Zaha or Clyne. He said he wouldn't comment on any players or positions he was interested in, so when person Fordham put names to him he batted them back with a shrug of the shoulders.
Reading tend to keep things close to their chest.
Expect: LB, RB, CB, CM & ST.
Plenty of people being linked but that is always the case when a club has a new owner. Don't believe a word of it until you see the player holding the shirt!
Latest rumours are interest in Defoe and Yakubu. Obviously only wanting one of the two, but they clearly want a proven striker at top level. We shall see.Not sure who id rather have, i really rate Defoe, but imagine Roberts and the yak upfront! im also expecting an old goalkeeper for back up with McCarthy and Andersen going out on loan to championship clubs.A goal keeper? McCarthy will be our back up next season with Anderson out on loan.Defoe really you couldnt afford his right footI would like us to sign N'doye or a player like him. Would not like Doyle or Yak coming to Reading as Doyle is not a goal scorer in the premiership and the Yak is a good but it will be short term investment not a long one. We need to give a striker in europe a chance like Newcastle did and look how that repaid them.9th richest club in the world and they can't afford Defoe? LOL. They can IF they want.

Arsenal have already sealed podolski. If koln gets relegated it would be for 8mill euros or else 12million euros). The deal will also include arsenal playing a friendly against koln. Nothing new in that.
Personal terms with mvila has been discussed( i repeat not agreed only discussed. You cannot do that unless negotiations with club are sealed). Mvila was also given the permission to talk to madrid and inter. All the talks are over, clubs waiting for him to signal so they can start negotiations with rennes.. He might wait till the euros becoz inter are interested in blanc and he wants to see where blanc ends up.
Next. Vertonghen. Personal terms with the players have been discussed and arsenal are in deep negotiations with ajax for over a week now.. I will update as soon as i get any info. Fee around 8-12 mill euros if agreed
Matias suarez and holtby are already pre signed, 10mill euros and 6 million euros respectively but there are clauses... Arsenal have the right to back track if matias do not get his belgium residency papers(already applied for, decision come the end of may) or if he gets a serious injury.. Meanwhile Holtby deal will be cancelled if he gets injured. These are the clauses inserted in their agreements...
If you want more info or like to be remain updated just drop me at my email... U can all follow me later on my twitter account if i get it right.. I would have openly asked for it if i would be looking to make fools out of you or wanted some followers. Dont trust me but atleast dont doubt me either. Reserve your judgement for later.... {Ed001's Note - you haven't even left a name, so you can't be proven right or wrong.}(5)(21)Nice way to contradict yourself re-read your second paragraph!
You've just taken names that have been linked to Arsenal in the public domain and passed off that you have some inside information.Don't know anything about the rest of your [insider] stuff, but Holtby already has a handshake agreement with Everton, which i fully expect to be honoured. Thus, think the rest of your stuff is bullst or wishful thinking.I am not an isider and have not claimed to be. I pass the info as receive... Believe it if u want if you would have come to me in feb I would have said the same thing.. So not really that i have tapped it from media. And lets see who gets it right regarding holtby. U or me....And for your very kind info there has been no statements of rennes and arsenal in negotiations in France Football. People are misquoting it... So that was the only source in media from where people picked it up and surprsisingly there is nothing as such mentioned there..And mate there is nothing mentioned as such in the second para in which i have contradicted myself... Sorry but do re-read it.He'll be right u wait and see!More updates ppl... Eriksen has refused to move to london so the card that was thrown by ajax has flushed past arsenal. They are now only negotiating for vertonghen. Almost wrapped up once they agree the fee since personal terms are already in place...
United interested in mvila are just rumours no substance.
Trying to find out more about javi martinez but i doubt it. I am just not sure on this one.
And huntelaar is not even being considered by arsenal... Same goes for belhanda.. Still not in frame of arsene wenger's mind.... I think the targets are already set, new names which spring out are only speculations.. But the targets arsenal have set, well ucl qualification is a must to seal them...
on the other note, i think manc will pip united for hazard while united will get kagawa if he decides to move to epl.. Yes and this kagawa to united is what i have tapped up from bild.. So dont worry if i tap up a source from media i will quote it..
Podolski and vertonghen were being negotiated(the personal terms) in january so trust me, if you would have asked me then i would have said the same thing.. Its just that it was the first time i decided to post on this website.. {Ed025's Note - nice info mate..
