I heard martin doesn't have a clue :)
ive heard the king wants gyan, mgeady, nolan, mertersaker but that's just throigh the grapevines, not through martins arm chair down south haha

 

31 Mar 2011 23:37:11
Id love to be able to agree with the know it all who commented on the lad who posted about nolan and danns but what an idiot you are, have you seen skysports today? king kennys already said hes interested in jarvis and nolan you fool, if you know more than kenny then you must be comoli and seen as your first names martin i very much doubt it, so look up something before you post it haha but you are wrong on upson, he wants shawcross ive heard

 

31 Mar 2011 23:08:06
Mgregor from rangers as cover for pepe for 5 millionish
matty upson from hammers for 8 million
matt jarvis from wolves for 18 million
kevin nolan from geordies for 8-10 million
a left back
a back up striker and i heard scott danns is a possibilty also
aiden mcgeady from spartak for 15 millon
- - - - - - - - - - -

I can exclusively reveal that none of the aforementioned players are targets of Liverpool FC. The reason being that none of them have been watched aside from Dann, they're all terrible players and Kenny has a brain - enough not to buy them.

More coming as we get it.

I heard more sane things from people on crack than what this guys put:

31 Mar 2011 16:48:25
Liverpool Board will give King Kenny a 3 year contract & not the 2 year that has been reported, hence why it is taking a bit longer to thrash out ( they want a option to relieve him of the position if things don't go right but are looking to put in a job upstairs into the contract so they will not be crucified by fans). . once contract is signed they are giving him a huge war chest & the big deals to being done are. .
Adam Johnson from Man City £18million
Charlie Adam from Blackpool £8million
Ashley Young from Aston Villa £13million
Leighton Baines from Everton for £11million
Gary Cahill from Bolton for £10 million
also expect another Striker & winger possiblly from abroad.
Out goings
Milan Jovanovic £3million
Brad Jones £1.5million
Emanua Insua £4million
Christian Poulson £4million
Paul Konchesky £2million
Dani Pacheco £2million
Alberto Aqualani £13million
Nabil El Zahr £1million
Philip Degan £free
Sotirios Krygiakos £1.5million
Danial Ayala £500,000
A lot going out for less than we payed but off the wage bill & that is the reason tha new owners are allowing big money to be spent, the club have been working very hard behind the scenes to offload these players since January & deals are neally tied up for most of them


first off aquilani has a set fee of 11 million euros so how are we getting 13 million pound, errmmm we arnt that's the answer, also judging by the interview baines is giving on the bitters website and his twitter page, hes not a red, proudest moments was their 95 cup final where he was in the crowd, hes a blue , we just saw he graduated from our academy so started a rumour haha hes a bitter, also didn't they reject 17 million from bayern in january, so how our we getting the best player of our local rivals, whos an everton fan for 6 million less?? errrmmm what a stupid thing to put, maybe the 25 hes worth plus say 10 million for us being liverpool, and 100 grand a week and we may get him, though i rekon jose enrique from newcastle, or taiwo from marseille might be winners, taiwo is free and newcastle are rubbish, gary cahill, bolton rejected 20 from chavs how are we getting half price? its all just a load of crap really isn't it, your probably one of our armchair southern fans

heard actual targets are
mgregor from rangers as cover for pepe for 5 millionish
matty upson from hammers for 8 million
matt jarvis from wolves for 18 million
kevin nolan from geordies for 8-10 million
a left back
a back up striker and i heard scott danns is a possibilty also
aiden mcgeady from spartak for 15 millon

as kenny said if he gets the job then he will be after only british players and because we spent so much on carrol clubs will chuckle at us and take us to town money wise, hence why jarvis will cost so much, hes young, talented, newly brought into the international stage, and on a long term contract but most of all hes english so we will spend a wedge this summer because of our targets, what you heard ed?

 

31 Mar 2011 19:04:20
Adam Johnson from Man City £18million
Charlie Adam from Blackpool £8million
Ashley Young from Aston Villa £13million
Leighton Baines from Everton for £11million
Gary Cahill from Bolton for £10 million

also expect another Striker & winger possiblly from abroad.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Heard the same as you mate, the striker will be Benzema and the winger will be Dzsudzsak. However, I expect Maxi to leave aswell.

 

31 Mar 2011 18:51:48
Manchester City are in talks with Nilmar from Villarreal. Nilmar is worth around £27 million and is reported as wanting to play in the English top division like his idol did, Robinho.

 

31 Mar 2011 18:30:08
Hey ed any thoughts on where (Alan) Smith is off to if he gets fit? {Ed005's Note - Perhaps a move down to another division? Championship would be his level now, maybe even League One. If he does move to League One then perhaps he'd prefer a move to the SPL which is mostly of similar standard.}

 

31 Mar 2011 18:49:47
Brighton are expected to complete the signing of Garry O'Connor from Barnsley. O'Connor is a free transfer in the summer and Gus Poyet wants to sign the experienced forward to partner Glenn Murray in the Championship next season.

 

31 Mar 2011 18:47:25
Blackburn have Paul Smith, on loan at Middlesbrough from Nottingham Forest in their sights. Smith is a free transfer in the summer and Steve Kean thinks he would be good backup with his experience.

 

31 Mar 2011 18:44:21
Ipswich are in talks with Chris Iwelumo from Burnley and Simon Walton from Plymouth. Iwelumo will cost around £750,000 and Walton will be released from Plymouth to cut bills.

 

31 Mar 2011 18:42:28
Reading are in talks with Benni McCarthy about a possible loan move. McCarthy isn't in the plans Avram Grant has for West Ham and is keen to move down a division to gain first team football.

 

31 Mar 2011 18:39:56
Blackpool are going to put a bid in for Janos Balogh from Hearts. Balogh is expected to be worth around £650,000 and Ian Holloway regards the Hungary international as brilliant competition within the Blackpool squad.

Former Parma boss Nevio Scala has continued his pursuit of a job in Scotland, by stating his interest in the now vacant Kilmarnock job.

 

31 Mar 2011 17:00:16
Heard a rumour that Man Utd are having trouble agreeing a fee with Atletico over David De Gea. Utd have offered £17m but Atletico want over £20m. This could see Fergie turn his attention to Gigi Buffon who is out of contract this summer, that would leave Utd with cash to spend on Wesley Sneijder who will cost at least £30m.

Man City will let Mario Balotelli join Milan on loan next season, with Alexis Sanchez joining City from Udinese for £24m. Andrea Pirlo also remains a target for Roberto Mancini.

If secure promotion they are going to hit the loan market and get federico macheda and daniel sturridge to strengthen their attacking options

wow thanks for that info

 

31 Mar 2011 12:44:26
That should read Owen Hargreaves and Michael Owen, my bad. I think Owen will be going to Everton or Leicester (if they get promoted) but Moyes is a long-term admirer and he is going to try and get a good 45 minutes per game from him rather than running him into the ground and getting no reward. Him and Saha when fit - another huge risk but with no fees, its another gamble from Moyes (unless investment is found). That's how it is sounding at present, that's the plan apparently behind closed doors. Not alot of other options on the cards really for proven scorers without fees.

THE HAMMER

 

31 Mar 2011 11:46:23
All the rumours of utd chasing all theses quality young keper rumours will be showed as unfounded when thy complete the signing of gigi buffon in the summer

 

31 Mar 2011 11:45:39
Hi just been working at brad fredals house spelling, I asked about the supposed mutiny at villa hr didn't deny it all he said was alot of the players need to grow up as when there is a problem they are right on the phone to there agents. also he said he has been offered a new contract didn't say how long but it's just waiting for it to be signed as he wants to stay, I'm a Newcastle fan living in wilmslow not far from his house he lives in chelford. Looks like the rumours are true sorry guys.

With regard to this:

"Norwich are set to beat stoke to the signing of robert snodgrass, after the midfeilder admitted he wants to play in the prem. fee likley to be £1.3m"

. .last time I checked, Norwich were still in the Championship. As if he'd go to Norwich, dream on luv!

this is too easy leeds fans ehh

 

31 Mar 2011 11:36:23
Bury will replace the out going Alan Knill with ex Everton goalkeeper Paul Gerrard. Gerrard is looking to get into management and Bury looks like the club to give him the opportunity as he is from that area of England.

 

31 Mar 2011 11:33:08
Newcastle have agreed a sum of 33 million to take Spain under 19 international, Jon Aurtenetxe, from Athletic Bilbao. He isn't expected to be in and around the first team for pre-season but Alan Pardew hopes he can bring him in when he gets to the standard of fitness he is hoping for. {Ed001's Note - I take it you mean 3 million?}

 

31 Mar 2011 10:59:40
Wesley Sneijder to move to Manchester United as a replacement for Paul Scholes in the summer transfer window ?

 

31 Mar 2011 10:43:42
Premiership clubs that have recently scouted Watfords Danny Graham :-

Aston Villa
Birmingham
Blackpool
Fulham
Newcastle
Stoke
Sunderland
WBA
West Ham
Wigan
Wolves

plus QPR and most if not all of the Championship promotion contenders.

Unverified rumours also include Spurs and Everton and personally it would not surprise me one bit if Wenger has been peeping over the fence at the Colney training ground - DG would be perfect for their set up. Actim stats set him far above all contenders and despite conflicting stats he has scored 23 league goals so far not 22, seven of these in his last six.

With all of the above in mind the club will be very unhappy at anything less than 7 million, a figure that will rise if his hot streak continues.

Plymouth will not change hands until June at least. The Heaney bid is preferred but Brendan Guilfoyle believes that a better bid is out there and so does Ridsdale.

Chris Todd is the other bidder, but there could soon be a third party with a better bid - however they will not have funds in place until the end of May.

 

31 Mar 2011 02:17:59
Re to: Spurs will move for Alvaro Negredo again this summer, a bid of £22m plus £90k a week wages should get him. Harry will also make a move for Lassana Diarra, Miroslav Klose on a free transfer and Joe Cole for £5m. Nico Krancjiar, Jonny Woodgate, Roman Pavlyuchenko will all be moved on.

- - - - - - -
Don't see it myself. Central midfield is stacked with quality players and they wouldn't stunt the development on Sandro by buying Lass Diarra in the same position.

Negredo is unproven in the EPL and doesn't score many goals for Sevilla. 22mil is a mighty price for that risk, plus the wages.

Why would you replace Nico w/ Cole? And spend 5mil to do it. They dodged a Cole shaped bullet last summer and won't make the mistake.

They need a finisher, a fox in the box type player or someone good in the air for crosses. Klose for free would be a good edition.
