I HATE MATTOCK NO EFFENCE TO THE MAN NICE GUY (i think) BUT I THINK HE'S HOPELESS JUST LIKE CARL DICKO GET THORNE AND COX MAYBE DAWSON BUT NOT MATTOCK CAN APPLETON ONLY GET WEST BROM PLAYERS OR WHAT GOOD PLAYERS BUT HE GETS JUST WEST BROM PLAYERS JUST LIKE COTTERILL ONLY GOT STOKE PLAYERS I HOPE FOREST GO DOWN PUP(7)(7)Stop shoutingWhat the hell are you going on about?WTF?!?!?Thanks, mate. Just go on a rampage and show the rest of us Pompey fans up, why don't you.
For the record, Mattock's decent, we might be getting Thorne back on loan, and we might also wangle Cox as well. When the gaffer's got no dosh to spend, he needs to rely on favours to get him through the window, in Cotts' case it was Stoke, in Appleton's case it'll be the baggies. Case closed.
Now go and sit in a darkened room 'till you've calmed down a bit. Jaysus.Mattock has been decent i would like to see him stay..

02 Jan 2012 22:40:08
Rangers looking at billy sharp after jelavic goes to west brom, also novo will be coming in on loan, sutter also in on loan(10)(29)Sharp could be celtic bound, lawwell in negotiations with willie mckay at doncasterWhat part of skint even if u get 10mill fr jellyfish ur all braindeadThe mighty jelivic to west brom he must be desprateWe cor afford him unless we sell.If a Championship club makes a bid for him then neither Celtic or Rangers will get him...because the SPL is the lowest grade of football.Rangers and celtic are EPL quality clubs. I'm a villa fan and at the moment the way we are playing they would finish well above us. The chairman'sdon't want them in the league because in years to come they would move further up the league. With them both getting £50m extra from TV money and millions from sponsors, ticket money etc.West brom cant afford jelvicYes because Rangers and Celtic both dominate Europe this season! Rangers were just useless (as always) and Celtic required a By and then still were useless. Stoke and Birmingham put them to shame!West Brom have plenty money and could buy
any Rangers or Celtic players for that matter its just that the chairman will not spend over a certain budget,good in respect that
the club have no debt and have a solid foundation,but frustrating for the fans that he will not go the extra yard so as to rid themselves of a yo yo club,saying that Jelavic is,nt the answer,they need an experianced EPL striker and they are overpriced or over the hill at this stage of the season.Jelavic wont go to west brom who are relegation candidates
02 Jan 2012 22:37:21
100% correct Bournemouth news
We are getting Josh Mcquoid back with Marc Pugh going to millwall- don't know if if this is good or not
UTC(6)(11)Why wud millwall spend all that on mcquoid then let him go anyway pugh is noway champship class final ball is carp thats if he passes itJosh will def leave Millwall in Jan,he is training with the kids. Bournemouth want him back but wages are an issue,Peterborough Fc have looked at him.Also,he may go to burnley if Jay Rod moves, best mate Sam Vokes is there and looking to leave Wolves Eddie Howe rates josh highly
02 Jan 2012 22:33:42
The 'secret' championship striker that Bournemouth have put a bid in to sign is out-of-favour Coventry City striker Freddy Eastwood.(17)(8)With Bournemouth manager, captain Barrett and keeper Flahaven all ex Southend players I think that Eastwood will certainly goPossibly going to Brentford insteadWe would love to offload eastwood but hes injured at the moment no1 is gonna sign a injured playerMust be a secret ive never heard of him
02 Jan 2012 22:28:31
Celtic looking at Billy Sharp(9)(22)
02 Jan 2012 22:22:12
Newcastle to release Alan Smith, Ipswich to sign him. (The Mirror)(29)(14)He could be on his way back to Leeds so Ive heardWhere would either Ipswich or Leeds get the money for wages from unless its a significant pay cut?
More likely to go back to Lufc than join Ipswich if hes going to make the drop to CC tbh
Not sure what the ed thinks?Newcastle to release Alan Smith, they have been trying to give him away for 2 years due to his high wages, with no success.
As for only going to another premiership club, the only one likely to want to sign him would be QPR, since Warnock likes to sign highly over rated players and pay them stupid money.Dont want him at Ipswich he's too young LOL
02 Jan 2012 22:19:18
shrewsbury to sign wolves striker sam winnall on loan for a month and are in advanced talks with telford defender sean newton for a reported £20,000(8)(7)

Southampton to sign fulham youngster Marcelo Trotta on loan whilst Billy Sharp will join Everton.(10)(23)The first two rumours are doing the rounds, but ben marshall is a no go.He is going to sign for you as he has just signed for sheff wed on loan to end of seasonHe just signed for sheff wed on loan till end season so how can he sign for yonMore chance of signing Reg Vardy!!

02 Jan 2012 22:02:08
celtic have had a bid for Gary hooper from everton. Moyes watched him in the old firm derby last week(21)(21)Hopper is going no were signing new 3 year deal on the cardsHe's scottish so likely he just wanted to watch itGary Hooper will be scoring goals for Celtic to win the league and playing in europe next season, not leaving to go to a mediocre EPL side that will win nowt! {Ed025's Note - mediocre?....top 4 in the all time list mate.....and in a league that is not akin to blue square premiere division!Ok not mediocre last final in any cup 2009, last FA cup 95 last charity shield 95 league cup 84 cup winners cup 84 rich history of mediocrity i think! {Ed025's Note - as i have said...the 4th most successful english team of all time...real history...in a real league....by the way, i hear micky mouse has got a celtic watch..Sunderland are also after himIn British history who one the first real cup errrr Celtic also not lately but Scottish players and managers made the EPL what it is any way {Ed025's Note - i dont think we will agree on this mate...Ed025 u canny argue with they idiots from up the road they r in a wee world of ther own ther 2nd best in a mediocre leagueMaybe not but trying to say everton have more history cause they won like 5 cups in a hundred years in a so called bigger league well at the time of everton winning most of there silver wear I bet they had Scottish players and I bet Celtic or even Aberdeen and rangers could of won it at the time
On another note
Why do the English people put down Scottish football when they are to scared of the OF in the EPL will not let them in due to simple reasons
.bigger fan base than most EPL clubs.
.after a year or two of stupid money plus Celtic mad billionaire owner buying better players plus producing good young stars Celtic and probs rangers would be top 4 and teams with tiny fan base e.g Chelsea ???2nd best who mad vlad and hearts or 3rd tax dodgers rangers ?I heard mickey mouse gave his watch to Everton .Also Man Utd minus Busby ,Docherty and Ferguson = ZEROGotta laugh at the Ed, real history, real league. When was the last time Everton were in Europe.....maybe you are not that old and cant remember. Every year Everton are handed tens of millions of pounds in tv money and they still cant afford to buy a light bulb. That is the only thing that makes the so called EPL any better than the SPL or any other league. Success in the EPL is staying in the league for the money and if you get into Europe, that is amazing. Success in our pub league is winning the league, cup and getting into the Champions League. Pray tewll me how many teams have wont the EPL this century....kind of the same as the SPL, only 2 teams in it. 60000 every week in a pub league, just imagine what would happen if we had the same money as the dross teams in the EPL.Rangers are the most succesful club in the history of world football. Celtic were the first British team to win a major european competition. Without Fergie man utd would be playing in the championship ( he saved them from relegation in his early years ).
Raners' spending in dick advocaat's days turned british spending on it's head.
Rangers and Celtic were premium clubs in britain before the EPL did a deal with the devil. signing the TV deal with SKY. Ruined british football completely, thats what lowered the quality of the SPL, and english clubs are in MAJOR debt (much more than rangers' £14m or whatever is left) THE GLAZERS - over £750m in the red...I'm a rangers fan but i gotta agree with what that celtic fan said about the old firm with the EPL tv money. we would be top 5 contenders in a matter of years.More chance of everton losing moyes than celtic losing hooper. The guy must be gettin a bit sick of producing the goods with a shoestring budget year in year out and what's his reward... Another shoestring budget. No ambition springs to mind
02 Jan 2012 22:01:07
few sources and good knowledge websites portsmouth have bid accepted for simon cox for around 1-1.5 million from west brom looks good him and futacs uptop(4)(19)As much as I'd like to believe this, where have we managed to get the 1.5 million from? We're skint again. We'll probably just get him on loan, which'll be good enough for now.Agreed ,also West Brom would also want a profit from the deal so £2million for chairman Peace,s retirement fund is more realistic!Rubbish Pompey have league 2 support
02 Jan 2012 22:00:12
Bournemouth Ins
Championship Striker
Possibly A Returning Former AFCB Forward
Steven Cook- Brighton
Bournemouth Outs
Would probably only be loan moves for fringe players such as Parsons and possible Lyle Taylor if new strikers are brought in(2)(7)Rumours are that calvin andrew will be moving to bournemouth for 50k
02 Jan 2012 21:48:22

02 Jan 2012 21:42:55
When will people get the fact that not for the 1st time Sky Sports are wrong, there is no clause in Billy Sharp's contract staing he can leave after 01/01/12 for £1.85m, John Ryan stated on Rovers offical website and on radio Sheffield that he and Billy have an agreement, that if ANY club offers £3m then Billy can talk to that club....that is it, he will go to a TOP championship side or a Premiership club.(16)(11)
02 Jan 2012 21:42:08
Watford Ins;
Puncheon (Southampton)-£1.5Mil
Nosworthy (Sunderland)-Loan Ext
Evans (Sheffield Utd)-£1Mil
Watford Outs;
Kightly (Wolves)-Loan Exp
Beattie (Swansea)-Loan Exp
Watford To Loan Out;
Murray To Brentford (2 Month Loan)
Mingoia To Barnet (2 Month Loan)(3)(25)I'd happily give you Puncheon and £2m for Sordell (Saints fan)Utd wont release evans for less than £3m while he is in scoring formWe don't have £1m to spend yet alone £2.5m lol. Evans is overrated for his cost, Puncheon is decent but inconsistent and overrated for his cost also......but everything else is quite likely. Sunderland don't want Nosworthy and he is enjoying his time with us so I wouldn't be surprised to see us loan or buy him as he has 6 months left of his contract. Beattie won't come back, he has been rubbish. Kightly has regained his fitness and been in great form, so will probably go back to Wolves.

Celtic in negotiations with Doncaster Rovers over Billy Sharp. Willie McKay and Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell are good friends with McKay having strong connections with the club and have been in contact regarding the player. Lawwell was present with McKay at Doncaster's home win over Barnsley(13)(11)No he wasn't. McKay was sat behind me during the game and Lawwell was not there.
Sharp wants to play in the premiership not the SPL. He will join either Fulham or NewcastleLawwell was in the crowd today.Maybe he wants to test himself in Europe?WHY WOULD HE LEAVE DONCASTER TO PLAY IN THE SCOTTISH PREMIER A NON COMPETITIVE LEAGUEEurope, higher wages, chance to win trophies. Everything he doesn't get at Doncaster and will never get when they're in league 1Coz doncaster are NOT competing in a competitive leagueSPL NOT A COMPETIVE LEAGUE!? What is league1 then? ..

He's 10 times better than andy carrol and you're getting him for a third of the price...And which league are west brim in?
02 Jan 2012 21:25:21

02 Jan 2012 21:21:28
It is believed Ipswich Town are close to completing the signing of Milwall player, James Henry.
Although Jewell said nothing had gone further than the enquiries he had already made on 2 players, it is understood since the end of the Forest game, in which town lost 3-1, a bid for Henry was accepted.
All going well, Henry could be available for next saturdays away fixture at Hull.
More signings to follow, with McGugan of Forest, and Butterfield of Barnsley, both very high on Jewells wish list.
Ipswich owner Marcus is prepared to give Jewell one last throw at the dice, giving him money to spend, and in hope that he can keep them up this year.
The signing of Henry would be a massive coup so early on in the window, with plenty of ITFC players also to leave, including;
Scotland
Priskin
Peters
O'Connor
Come the end of January, Ipswich could be definitely looking at a completely new side.(10)(13)Mcgugan isn't joining u lotThey want to save their money coz they'll be in League 1 next season spend or not.Spent alot for a poor team with no takers for the rot they want to sell,and as for Bullard !!Wish it was henry from wolves
02 Jan 2012 21:19:11
West Brom outs
Odemwingie 10 million back to Russia Anzhi
Cox, Bednar,Tamas offers received, and are being taken seriously.
Dorrans going to Rangers Jelavic coming other way with 2.5 million going to Scotland, Rangers doing the pushing.
Jara, Fortune, and Mattox agents have been told to start looking for fresh clubs.
Ins
Jelavic 2.5
Onouha 3.5
Allen 400k
Andy Johnson 2.0
Butterfield 900k
Maybe a Man City fringe migfielder also coming on loan.
All dealing leave Albion with a trading profit and does not change the core of the team. Good source believe all will happen.(7)(20)What source exactly any more info and how reliable is this source otherwise all these seem pretty spot on I would agreeHard to say really , Jeremy Peace can be a tight get at times have to sell to buy I suppose?Sorry m8, odemwingie left russia due to the racism he recieved there, cant see him going back for round two
N. Wales gunnerDo you think we could persuade Swansea to sell Luke Moore if Odemwingie decides he wants to lay in Russia again, I would love to see him back down the Hawthorns! I reckon we could get him for 3 millionCan see Steven Davis coming from rangers not jelavic and Zamora from fulham not Johnson
Odemwingie said he we like to return to Russia at some point, and with anzhi offering stupid money to him it looks more likely!

02 Jan 2012 21:09:31
Doncaster to sign Ched Evans from Sheffield United, if Billy Sharp leaves.(10)(18)Bcks you carnt afford to pay for any one never mind one of the best strikers in league oneNo way will evans leave Sheff utd for Donny, thats a step down in every possible way. Donny have no money and saunders will more likely try to raid his old club wrexham than anywhere else for playersNo chance of this happening, For one Utd would ask for 2-3 million min, and also Evans will not go for anything less than 20 k + a week especially to a team that are in the verge of relagation. If Evans leaves which may not happen then it will be a top championship side to a premier league side.

Southampton want to bring ex-Arsenal and Leeds United winger Jermaine Pennant to the South Coast from Premier League side Stoke City.
The Potters are looking to sell the player in order to free up funds as they launch an audacious bid to lure Junior Hoilett from the hands of Blackburn Rovers and Saints are the front runners for his signature.(12)(26)WRONG!! I'm a Stoke fan and I know for a fact that at most Pennant will go to Blackburn in a swap for Junior Hoilett! So Southampton don't have a chance!Keep dreaming you Idiot, like Pennant would go down a league.. He is way to talented for your club!

02 Jan 2012 20:17:13
Fulham are very keen on signing Michael Timlin from Swindon Town, for around £300,000.(4)(4)Signed for Southend for nominal fee!How far behind the times are you as he has signed for southend and Timlin not good enough for premier league. where do you get your theories from?
02 Jan 2012 20:15:49
Celtic are very interested in signing young Southend striker Matt Paterson. Paterson has previously been at Southampton as a youngster as well as Hamilton on loan and Neil Lennon is keen to sign the 22 year old on a long term contract. Paterson is wanted by a number of Championship teams.(11)(12)Completley unbelievable Paterson is nowhere near championship or celtic standardsAs a southend fan I can honestly say he is one of the worst players to ever put on a Southend shirt and there has been a few. If this rumour is true the Celtic are planning life in scots division threePaterson is a big Rangers fan, hence the thread! As a Stockport County fan I can say he's the best striker I saw at Edgeley Park last season! He had a magnificent debut and scored a humdinger - how he doesn't get a game for Southend i will never know. As for being the worst player you've ever seen at Southend - Blair Sturrock, I rest my case.
The ScarfHaHa, well done Scarf! Would love to see Paterson back at Edgeley Park - a great young player with a great attitude and a big heart. Southend have mugged him off - Gannon sign him up please!Understand he has turned down a L2 club to join a Conference side in time for this Saturday. Maybe it is Stockport, maybe not.As an Accies fan just want to say that Pato scored a couple of crackers for us and won us at least 5 penalties! We didn't get to see enough of him because of a hamstring injury. Hope he finds a good club, great young lad.Absolute rubbish at the Accies, glad to see him leave. No work rate or ability.

League 2 side Bristol Rovers are keen to sign Simon Clist from league rivals Oxford United as boss Paul Buckle tries to ease the pressure on him after a struggling start to the campaign.(3)(1)
02 Jan 2012 20:10:43
Crawley are keen to sign Morecambe defender Kieran Charnock.(2)(9)
02 Jan 2012 20:08:02
Crawley boss Steve Evans, is set to lose three players over the January transfer window, as he looks to produce spaces for new signatures coming into the club.
Struggling League 2 rivals Northampton Town, are very close to signing Scott Davies on loan until the end of the season, where a permanent contract could be handed if the Irishman impresses.
Davies could be followed to Sixfield by teammate Jamie Day. The former Peterbrough midfielder is keen on a new challenge and will sign for Town on a free transfer for two and a half years.
The third player set to leave is Willie Gibson. Gibson has impressed on loan at St Johnstone in the Scottish Premier League and his current deal runs out in the next few weeks. Championship side Millwall, are keen on signing the former Dunfermline and Kilmarnock player as Kenny Jackett is keen to recruit.(9)(5)

Billy Sharp to Everton £1.85m(7)(22)They turned down 3 mill not long ago!Need to pay £3m if they want him, sky sports are wrong (yet again) about the clause. John Ryan said on offical clubsite its £3mActually he can be sold to a premiership club that bids £1.85m because of his desire to play in that league. Other teams must bid £3mWhat a load of rubbish why would it be different for any other club its £3m PLEASE GET IT

Chelsea are lining up a £25 million for barca playmaker xavi, with another option of £10 million plus lampard! Reliable source at the club, what do you think of this ED? {Ed002's Note - Nothing - Twitter again?}(6)(35)UnbelievableAnd messi is on his way to liverpool in a swap deal involving andy carroll who barca say 'will suit their football better'Not going to happenXavi will be going nowhereUnbelievable,Xavi is good but it's iniesta and messi who make barca tick.i would like to see ozil and khderia from Madrid insteadHaha lampard barca as ifWhat a load of tosh, Xavi is the best midfielder in the world playing in the best team in the world. Lampard is a great player but couldn't lace Xavi or kniesta's boots.
To suggest at 33/34 lampard is worth 15m Suggests that you may be a bit of a fantasist

England U17 stars George Willis (Sheffield United) and Mason Bennett (Derby County) are being looked by scouts from six big Premier League clubs including Manchester United.
Willis, a goalkeeper, has played six international appearances at under 17 level and has impressed, whilst Bennett plays predominantly as a striker and has been labelled by sports journalists as the next Gary Linekar.
It is likely that both would welcome moves to bigger clubs, but Sheffield United are unlikely to allow their star youngster leave for anything less than £2m and Bennett who has played 7 games for Derby County would command a figure of around £4m.(3)(13)All derby's team isnt worth 4 milion lolDouble that for Bennett, and you might get his toenail...Bennet worth more than walcott went forYou mean george long......................
get your names correct if your going to write twaddleNo he means George Willis.. Long hasnt played 6 times for england, only once for u18s.

He went on to add "If the gaff calls me into his office and says we've had a call from Burnley or Leeds or Derby, then I will have to decide on the best move for my career."(2)(6)

Reading manager Mcdermott confirms the club have rejected a bid for jimmy kebe, expected to be west ham.
He has also said he wants to bring two players in,
ED, have you heard anything, please?
CP {Ed003's Note - Only what you have just stated CP }(12)(9)Wasn't Kebe on his way to cardiff? supposed to be a done deal.I heard down Cardiff today that Reading have accepted an offer from us for Kebe. Whether true, I don't know.Never heard west ham were after him since he got 1 of our players sent off 2 wks back cant see it?That what i thought wen i saw it, but its a local journalist saying thats who he understands it to be. Haven't heard anything about Cardiff and kebe at all but mcdermott did say if he doesnt sign a new deal hell go this window
CPRumours on south coast are that southampton are prepared to do a swap deal involving kebe and jason puncheon who's loan deal at qpr ended today.

danny haynes transfer listed by barnsley FACT(27)(4)Has been confirmed on BBC Radio Sheffield today.All i can say is Good luck to Danny, hge did well, possibly helped us stay up last season..... It hasnt worked out this season for him with Vaz Te and Davies on fire and in top scorers in league list. I am happy about our season so far, not far from playoffs(although this is not a realistic target until next season) and miles away from relegation, approaching 40 points safety mark and only half way through season, all the best to danny haynes, quality player missing family and home city of london.

Norwich set to capture out of favour Croatian frontman Ivica Olić on loan until the end of the season from Bayern München.(19)(15)Lambert said he's not looking abroad this seasonPerhaps so, but he also has an eye for a good dealThink he would be a good signing, but can;t see it happening.Actually, Lambert said in the summer signing spree that he wouldn't be signing from overseas, however he said for this window that bringing in players abroad "could not be ruled out" - therefore for the January window, probably meaning he can look into the possibility of his links with Germany, certainly not out the question.

billy sharp set to join leicester for 3 million plus former doncaster midfielder richie wellens.(16)(20)Why would they pay £3 million for him when he's available for £1.85 million?He doesn't want to go to LeicesterCan see him going to 2 a promotion chasing side like hull or boroSeeing as though he has a release clause of 3m and wellens is the captain at Leicester i don't see this happeningSky sports news are wrong about the clause as they have been about many things in the past the price stated by John Ryan on the oofical club website is £3m GET IT?Wellens isnt our captain.I no mate this is driving me crackers there is no release clause just a agreement that if an offer over 3 mill John leaves it upto billCab't see him joining a mid-table team who play boring tactics. Bet Hull glad they got rid of "Pearson the Arogant".Here we go again, more deluded Leicester fans, maybe your manager should try to get the current sqaud to blend before buying in bulk again.

daviebhoy08Whats rangers gonna pay him with?Thats not trueThe same thing that celtic will buy diawara with, oh, no, diawara's going to russia, ok, the same thing celtic are buying jordan rhodes with, oh, no, he's going to the EPL .... Who exactly are celtic signing ... you come to our page criticising our transfer targets when we spent more than celtic in the summer and we will do so again in january.Shut up ya tw@t! If Rhodes goes elsewhere fair enough, if diawara goes elsewhere fair enough! But the fact is the scum r skintight and celtic aren't lol!! We might get outbid on a few targets but we've got money to spend if needbe...... Big jellyfishs's valuation has decreased so much that west brim r only intrested in a swap between jelly and dorrans but rankers can't accept because they need money also which in turn would pay dorrans wages ha ha get a grip :)Jela to liverpool 10 million. 6 mill pofit, geez itJelavic will be leaving nowhere for £10m hes overrated and playing like s lucky to get £5m for him but if its liverpool they did pay £35m for Andy CarollLiverpool aren't intrested, he'll go to one of the bottom teams fighting for a bottom half finish ha ha!! Agents tell the media that such an such is lookin to sign such an such to drum up intrest in their player that's what they get paid for and rangers have told is agent to do it!! Qpr and west brom the only 2 teams with genuine interest!:)Get rid he is overratted anyway!Thats why liverpool are interested because they know that they will be scrapping for a top half finish if anything happens to their sicknote stevie.

These are a few names being linked dont know just how much truth are in these but they appeal to simon grayson expect some of these to happen :
John Fleck from rangers (loan) Blackpool favourites to sign the midfielder with leeds and sheff utd(league 1 lol) interested
Savic from man city (loan) Needs match time, several championship teams intersted.
Butterfield from barnsley (buy) contract running out would be a good signing but i think he will join wigan
Nick powell from crewe england youth international great prospect is likey to turn down advances of the prem teams in order to get match time
Kyle mcfadzean from crawley a centre bag with great. potential expect a bid of 500,000 will bring him to elland road(18)(15)Grayson not be there long enough for ink to be dry on his p45 let alone sign anyoneFleck played today and played really well so might not be going out on loanFleck's loan (with an option to buy) to Blackpool is being signed this week. Holloway has twice tried to sign this guy and see's him as the next DJ Campbell.Butterfiled has stated his intent to play for barnsley unless the club accept a bid, he has said he is happy to stay unless we accept a bid, certainly would not go to leeds after the pounding they took from us on NYE, silly rumour, almost all untrue and also, butterfield has been public on his hatred of the playing style leeds employ, leaving him injured on saturday, unfortunately for leeds they only succeeded in their own downfall injuring butterfield as Vaz Te(also not leaving) hammered them all day! HAHA all you can expect when you employ dirty tactics intending to injure our star player. HAHA

West ham will be near relegation places next season if they make there this season. Everton is a possibility but he should be aiming higher.He is worth alot more than the price you are quoting......But as his contract expires in july it will be at least half if he goes in january or tribunial in july.

A pilkington move 2 liverpool rumours wont go away. Pilkinghton has hardly played every sence this rumour started. Both managers had a long chat on new years ev. It would be a shame if pilks left but u can not blame him for leaving for ex champs l winners. Other players out could see k smith going to coventry on loan. Lappin moving back to spl. P.L is not keen on martin staying at c palace as he belive's his furture is at carrow rd. Poss targets are l chambers. gunter, n forest, forest celtic, Rhodes, hudd jenkins watford, s church reading. If we could get naughton and couple of these i would be very happy(16)(22)I heard this and the rumours were that's why he wasn't playing because a fee had been agreed and he was moving. But then haven't heard a lot in the past month. Lappin is for some reason starting against QPR today, and Naughton also on the bench. But Pilks is starting. I think we need a winger, because we need more delivery from the wings to our 2 big strikers (even though Morison is on the bench today). Also think Gunter would be a good signing. Jordan Rhodes isn't leaving this transfer window, but agree he would be a top signing, but can't see PL splashing out the sort of money for Rhodes given his track record for the amount of money he looks to pay for players, think Nicky Maynard would be a decent signing instead as he is transfer listed, or even possibly Billy Sharp? What do you think..All complete rubbish in my opinion. but fun to readOh dear, of course he doesn't play now despite the fact that he's just scored for Norwich against QPR.Maynard and Sharp would be a gamble for Norwich,Pilkington will not be going anywhere,and Naughton looks certain to make move permanent.Pilks scores a class goal, could possibly interest liverpool even morePilks would only go if stupid offer came in like 10mill. but hes not worth that so..cant see lambert buying any strikers when ours are scoring goals. so not sure why peeps keep mentioning maynard/rhodes/sharp. wingers and fullback are a realistic shopping list and mayb a backup keeper with rudd/steer sent on loan for games again.Right back, clyne would be good option, winger and central midfield. Very much doubt striker on the cards, unless martin and wilbraham leaveWillbraham and Lappin possible moves out,and Chris Martin to stay on loan at Crystal Palace assuming they want him to stay. Pilkington not going anywhere this season, unless the bid is really stupid, why sell a player who is obviously enjoying his football at Norwich
Ins- Naughton -maybe if Spurs are not to greedy, Gunter - strong possibility, and perhaps another play maker in midfield, and another forward if Willbraham goes.Pilks and family are very happy at Norwich as is evident from his tweets
02 Jan 2012 13:48:18
Andrey Arshavin- Stoke city looking to take him on loan until the end of the season, however Arsenal are looking to include a clause which would mean Stoke signing him for around £4million in the summer, based on appearances.
A big surprise is Stoke's link with Chris Samba however stoke believe they are behind atleast 3 clubs in terms of realisticly signing the big centre half. Arsenal, Chelsea and Sunderland are the teams Stoke belive they are behind. QPR are also said to be interested but many would imagine that would be last resort for the promising talent.
Junior Hoillet to Stoke, could be a done deal in the next 14 days if Blackburn and Stoke agree a fee belived to be in the region of £8million rising to £10million(24)(20)
02 Jan 2012 13:47:23
Manchester United have joined the race for Lille playmaker Eden Hazard. To sign him they will have to battle with Real Madrid, Arsenal and PSG. However, with United currently prioritising on a central midfielder, the deal is likely to happen in the summer. Sir Alex has labelled Mario Gotze, Wesley Sneijder, Lucas and Ganso as possible replacements for Paul Scholes. Don't expect there to be any deals yet, as they're likely to take place at the end of the month.(13)(19)Maybe not...

Chelsea in talks with Hulks agent. Hulk desperate to leave Porto to be reunited with Andre Villas Boas. Very reliable source!(30)(19)His clause is 100 million euros, chelsea isnt paying that much:DHulk has said he wants to join Chelsea. It's up to Porto really, do they want an unhappy player at the club? Chelsea wont pay 84 million pounds for him, everyone knows that, could see them offering around 40 million for him though. Depends if Porto are willing to sell, especially after losing Falcao in the summer.Hulk has an 85 mil release clause which I think is a big gamble
02 Jan 2012 13:26:54
Spurs have been quoted £25 million for Kaka who is Redknapp's top target during January. However, Levy will not sanction such a move until Spurs players are moved on.
Redknapp also wants Podolski but to sign both players, Redknapp will need to generate sufficient funds.
The obvious player to sell is Modric. Spurs are content with the Chelsea offer of £30 million (payable in £5 million chunks for 6 months) but the real obstacle is the matter of principle.
Levy is determined to prevent Modric leaving, having stood his ground for so long. Redknapp has hinted previously that he is prepared to sell Modric in order to wheel and deal.
This might mean Modric moving to Chelsea after all. Redknapp would be content if it means he can sign Podolski and Kaka(12)(27)Content with £30 million?? were you not around in the summer??Modric has said he is staying. so you must be joking! do you even know what football is? rubbish, rubbish, rubbish rumour!Cannot believe somebody has posted this! ridiculous!Sounds very plausible to me. The Kaka link is widely reported. Chelsea want Modric. Redknapp has admitted he is prepared to sell Modric in order to wheel and dealModric is key to tottenham doing well this year, no chance of him leaving no matter how much is offered. to get 25 million they could sell plenty of players to raise cash. payuluchenko, being oneThis is complete nonsense, Modric won't be moving, Spurs made a decent net profit from summer sales to not need to raise funds other than those from players they want to move on, Podolski is not a target and if anything Levy is more interested in Kaka than Harry if it can be doneSpurs wouldnt take 40 mill for him during the summer and Kaka or Podolski wont go to spursTottenham have been known to try and buy player's that are way out of their reach....although Kaka isn't as good as he used to be, however I'm pretty sure Tottenham won't be able to beat a team like Arsenal to Podolski. But at least (Being a saint's fan) These player's might stop them taking Southampton's.Sell modric to wheel and deal? harry has not said that! i should know! i watch all of the spurs interviews and extras i can! he has said on soooooo many occasions that he doesn't want to sell any of this team so stop fabricating rumours with no proof! annoying!!Ur having a laugh Modric along with bale is probably spurs most important player, no way harry will sell and definatly not for 30 mill to chelsea as it will jepordise his chance at champs league footie next season.

Defoe is possibly a target for Sunderland and Newcastle not Fulham.WBA have more money to spend than you think! Just they go about their business more shrewdly than other clubs.

The only good news for Reading is that if he does well there and they decide to buy him Reading should receive a percentage of the fee due to the sell on clause in his contract.(13)(4)Only if sold at a profit - which is not going to happen

West Ham United have reportedly bid £900,000 for Fleetwood Town striker Jamie Vardy... and was rejected! WHU are set to offer an improved deal worth £1 million. Absolute lunacy.
The non league record for a transfer I think is £250,000 paid by Peterborough for George Boyd.
(Source: Non League)(10)(24)As far as I know Richard Brodie was the most expensive non-league player. Crawley signed him from York for £275,500. Sorry.They payed 100,000 for him from halifax!Apparently that Brodie fee was much lower than that. But why would you believe Steve Evans?
No player in non league is worth more than £1/4m. There are players in various positions as good as him.Blackpool have got him in the window and will loan him out to cod for season.As a hammers fan im happy hes bringing in players but hes a non league player and hes gonna offer a millionWhat have people got against non-league players? Stuart Pearce, Ian Wright, Chris Smalling, Kevin Phillips, Stan Collymore and Chris Waddle all started their careers there...

Highly rated Barnet forward Izale McLeod is in talks with Shrewsbury Town in a deal that could see James Collins going the opposite way.(4)(11)Are you izale McLeods agent,this is about the 3rd team "highly rated" McLeods been linked to.Mcleod is coming to Swindon in a swap + cash deal for Medhi Kerouche, who is a fantastic player but has fallen out with Paolo, the deal will be done this week.

Out of favour Kevin Davies to be reunited with big Sam as piquionne is offloaded to wolves in swap deal involving Doyle!(8)(18)Dream on ....Unhappy Davies could well be on way to hammers,while Tompkins moves in opposite direction to replace Chelsea bound cahillYes because piquionne is as good as Doyle hahaa, and why would Doyle drop a league when there is teams in the prem that would sign him.Why would tomkins move to a team that are fighting relegation with no moneyand if you look at the west ham bench for the derby game, 5 strikers on the bench due to suspensions and injurysWeve got 2 many strikers piquinne did well last season scoring about 8 this year 2 goals improve or leave

Andy Johnson & Zamora look set to leave Fulham with a number of clubs interested in both. Reports are that blackburn, west brom & QPR are interested in taking AJ away from the cottage. AJ has only scored 3 goals this year which all came against QPR in a 6-0 win.
Zamora has been linked sunderland, aston villa & even a possible return to the hammers as they look to push for promotion. Zamora has been suffering from an injury of late however its thought to be more than an injury that has kept him out of the side with Martin Jol looking to reduce the average age and put his own mark at Fulham.
Fulham have been linked with a number of strikers including Amuari - juve, carlton cole - West ham, Ivica Olic - Bayern and Andre pierre gignac - Marseille
Also Fulham are interested in Derek Boateng on loan from Dnipro with a view to a permanent move in the summer.(11)(10)Yes because signing Amuari and Olic will reduce the average age!This is what i been told & remember there only rumours but Jol is looking to off load some of the old boys!

Looks like ken bates has shown his card.Leeds have gone straight in after already landing andros townsend, Leeds are in talks with Jake butterfields agent, a loan deal for higginbottom, permanent deal for pugh, permanent deal for keogh, permanent deal for smith, loan deal for hammill, permanent deal for puncheon as 10 players have been told they are free to leave.(25)(14)You're deludedKen Bates spend money on new players....not really a rumour....more a fairy tale....more chance of Grayson getting the boot before the end of Jan than most of the above coming true.There is a village missing an idiotMichael Brown injured Butterfield the other day. Not sure why we'd sign a crocked midfielder. We've got one of those.
wallyHammill turned you down before joining Barnsley, so thats not going to happen, Butterfield hates leeds so thats non starter also. sod will be interviewed this week !!Butterfield is in talks with LeedsOnly one that could carry any weight is Higginbottom
I think he's fallen out of favour at Stoke, but I thought he was a LB

Unless we sell someone like Lawrence/Kitson/Ben Haim (the higher wage earners) to raise funds, then it's doubtful we'll do any business at all in this window.Your having a laff ,he played at hull city ,and couldnt hack it ,

Time to go benty.......Darren Bent will never leaveMaynard the westham actually and zammora could go there toLiverpool should get Heskey back! Everyone will be so confused that Liverpool wont even have to try in there matches!! But they shouldn't play him. They'd lose every game if they did that.

Rangers are interested in graham dorrons from west brom their is thought to be a straight swap between him and rangers star striker jelavic WATCH THIS SPACE(19)(17)Would,nt think it would be a straight swap
dorrans value 2.5 mill jelavic valued 4/5 millRoy hodgson already stated dorrans wasnt leaving WBADorrans seen at Old Firm gameSo were a lot of peopleWBA value dorrans at more than £2.5m!!Rangers wont sell jelavic for less than 10mil, but 5 and dorrans may do it. but still think hes liverpool bound.Your valuations are way out comment 1 :
WEST BROM value Dorrans at around £5m - £6m.
RANGERS value Jelavic at around £8m - £10m ... it would not be a straight swap,
AT least £3m would be required as well

Japanese international forward Tadanari Lee, has agreed personal terms with Southapton, after the Saints had a formal bid accepted by Hiroshima.
The players and club are now waiting for a work permit before the signing is formally announced(30)(10)Unfortunately this might be right, not too sure whether we need someone who only scores 15 goals a season in the Japanese Super LeagueHeard we have already signed him, He just needs a work permit now.....And you might be right with the 15 goal's a season thing, But Lambert had only played in League 1 and 2 before, But Adkin's turned him into Championship top scorer, if he can do that to Lambert, what can he do to an International? And a top 20 international too....

Source at bbc radio Leicester
Nigel has made an offer for Coventry striker jukevic, Bristol city winger adomah, hull winger Stewart, and villa forward heskey.(30)(30)All panic buys ,money to burn ,and he will burn it ,will nigePanic Buys? Do you even know what that means. I can't see how Adomah and Stewart, two young wingers with great potential can be seen as panic buys.We don't want Heskey back!As a Leicester supporter i would like to see Heskey back, i think he would be just what we need, a strong target man that nugent or beckford can play off.Bid 1m apparently for Stewart which is just having a laugh....last team Hull will deal with for anyone will be Leicester and even then they will have to pull out the chequebook!Our bids for any Hull players will be accepted, We have the cash just ask pearson. xU wont even get adomah, if he goes anywhere it will be prem. he way to good 4 leicster. (and bristol city, but he has a 5 year contract at the gate)Adomah is 6 month into a 3 year contract not 5. That said, unless Leicester come up with a totally stupid bid (and they do have the money to do so.) then Sextone will resist selling him knowing his value will increase come the summer. There is also a strong rumour that BCFC will offer Albert a new deal in an attempt to tie him down therefore increasing his value all the more.
02 Jan 2012 09:32:23
Roy Hodgson is set to ring the changes at WBA this January. He will first complete a swap deal with Rangers, Graham Dorrans and £2m for Jelavic.
Then he will bring in Wayne Bridge and Nedum Onuaha on free transfers as well as signing Andy Johnson from Fulham.(16)(34)Jelavic should come WITH £2m and why would Dorrans go anywhere near a club who are on the brink of collapse?Nedum is not a free, 2-4 milJelivic is valued at 8 million?Rangers should get dorrans & £2m because jelavic is a better player, playing with a bigger club ! Comprende !Because Dorrans is a Rangers fan, you know supporters, that thing that your club doesn't have many of...
Rangers are not on the brink of collapse - worst case scenario is administration which is very different ...

Leeds look set to sign jordan rhodes for 1.5 million plus billy payter. Watch this space. Mot(28)(43)Why would rhodes sign for leeds prem clubs
want him and billy paynter in part ex our
lass is a better strikerOnly Rhodes you will be getting is the roads do outside Sand Road!! Dream on!
LOLNever going to happen why leave a well run club for one in total turmoil ,Leeds don't need a sticker its a defence they have required for at least two seasons as the one they have should be embarrassed to call themselves footballersHAHA, Rhodes would go to a better side than Leeds, considering they're struggling in the championship at the moment. Even though they may be top half, they are gradually going down. Also, considering Huddersfield can get probably £6m+ for Rhodes, I don't think Paynter makes up for that extra £4.5m, if not more. Also, Huddersfield have come out and said he won't be going in this transfer window, but can understand if he wants to go in the summer to a prem clubWhy go to a club in decline ?This shouldnt even be a rumour.. hes going nowhere at all !! talking to him on fcbk and he catagorically states he aint going anywhere. so any prem clubs, your wasting your time !!Lol!! we dont want him like paynter un proven at a higher level!! fact....also love the jokes coming from a team that keeps stumbling to get out of lg1....Lets face it this isn't happening. Rhodes isn't leaving this month, probably will in the summer. But the guy above, you are not talking to Jordan Rhodes on facebook, stop talking rubbish! But yes, Rhodes will at least finish this season with HuddersfieldGoing to Leeds?? Dream on. His market value is going up each week. He will leave, and maybe this transfer window despite what has been said (money talks), but Leeds cannot afford and why would he want to go there? He needs to play at the top level to develop and fulfill his International ambitions.How on earth could Rhodes join us - he's not available on a free transfer. Plus he's got bags of potential - Bates only signs has been's or never will be's!So much rubbish on this.
a) Rhodes will NEVER EVER leave HTFC for Leeds
b) When he goes it will be for way more than 1.5 million. Paynter is turd.
c) Rhodes does not have FB/Twitter.All you huddersfield fans giving it large here like your team is some sort of brilliant premier league side, your saying "he won't go to Leeds when he can go to a prem side... blah blah blah" - why not? If he is still at Huddersfield then there isn't no reason he won't come to Leeds? Saying we are struggling? How is 8th struggling? Fools, although, I do agree, Leeds fans stop being deluded we aren't getting him and yes it's our defence that needs sorting. Rant over.
02 Jan 2012 09:08:24
Any word abou whether Alan Smith is going anywhere?(15)(10)Rumour is Portsmouth down here.Alan smith shud go straight to the knackers yard or leeds. same placeAny club that wears red.Yep, I heard he goes to the bank every week to pay in his 60K/week, perhaps that's where the phrase comes from 'laughing all the way to the bank'

is it true that podolski and lavezzi might be going to Liverpool?? people have said that if Luis Suarez doesn't win his appeal then Dalglish would try for these two. Any truth to this? {Ed002's Note - There has been no decision about an appeal. Podolski is a possibility but as of this time the only clubs to declare a firm interest are Arsenal, Lazio, Lokomotiv Moscow, Schalke, Anzhi and Zenit. If Suarez is sold in January then perhaps the money will be available to make a more significant move in the transfer market.}(8)(34)Why would suarez be sold?If Saurez is sold!! What a stupid comment, He's going nowhereNo way would they sell Suarez. Who do you think is in charge at Liverpool? Mr Bean!!!!As if they would sell Suarez just because of the ban. He's better than Lazezzi and Podolski anyway.Because he doesn't score goals! good player, terrible goalscorerDont talk absoloute nonsence suarez is not going anytime soon

arshavin going to liverpool from arsenal for £6m.(20)(40)Arshavin will not go to anywhere in the EPL.That's a lot of money to pay to get there. He should take train it's cheaper. Oh and tell him to get a day return please!Whereby arshavin does not fit the current Liverpool age structure he does fit the temperament and personality of bygone players. I wouldn't write this one off too soon. At the right price he could do a valuable short term job.

Ipswich Town have made an inquiry into the availability of the Gillingham widemade Chris Whepdale. THe Gills are believed to be wanted around £800,000 for the player.
Ipswich are also looking at Peterborough United centre back Ryan Bennet, however the £2,000,000 asking price is over the Blues valuation of the player and a deal does not look likely.(16)(12)So let me get this straight, Ipswich want to sign Chris Whelpdale from Gillingham. Why would 800k be the fee when only last summer Peterborough sold him for I think 150k. How has he suddenly risen in price by 650k in half a year? And also Ryan Bennett will be worth more than double that amount if he is to be sold. He is England's up and coming star and just oozes class whenever he plays. He reads the game like a veteran and never bottles a tackle. All this for a 20 year old who captained Grimsby at 17. £2m my friend is an absolute joke of a price and football has gone mad if that is all he is worth. More fool Ipswich for rather spending 800k for Chris Whelpdale. Guarantee if Bennett played for Ipswich and another club were after him, you would feel the same. The boy is class.Why would Bennet drop down to an team run by an person of a chairman and manager who hasnt a clue remember 7-1 to the boro!If you want to spend that amount on whelps good luck to him he was a sound plyer for the posh in league 2If Bennett is so good then why is he part of one of the league's poorest defences?Bennett is too good for the ChampionshipBecause when he was part of the WORSE defence in the entire football league, (GRIMSBY), he went for a significant slice of that

qpr make bid for rangers duo jelavic and lafferty, 5m for both, wee wise rab(14)(42)£5m for jelavic + lafferty ... are you joking?
Rangers payed more than that to take them to ibrox originally and they have both improved vastly ... no chanceAs a QPR fan this falls well short, maybe as an initial payment with another 5 mill of add ons is the only way I can see some truth in thisWee Rab talks BS.Rangers knocked back £9 million for Jelavic from Liverpool.Why would we accept pocket money for him?And more importantly why would he want to play for QPR?Laffery is worth at least 4 or 5 million alone.AllyMark my words, i've not been wrong yet, we wise rabWhy would they pay 10m for 2 donkeys with very poor scoring ratios?Thats the going rate for them now, sorry gers fans- wee wise rabRangers turned down more before for jelavic so defo not . Maybe £5 million for lafferty try £7-8 million for jelavicPoor scoring ratios?
Jelavic is the top scorer in scotland with 14 goals ... andy carrol, fernando torres, wayne rooney ... compared to these guys he has a very good goalscoring ratio. And you can give me your rubbish about poor SPL quality but for £50m you should be able to score in Europe's second best league surely4 - 5m for Lafferty! What a joke - can't see many clubs forking out that for the LAFF. 450K maybe.Think if rangers got 5 million at most for jellyfish theyd be doing well, hooper has most goals in the SPL in all comps! jelavics previous record before the SPL is very poor

What are the chances of either cahill/bent/lavezzi signing? 1-10. I really can't see us getting Cahill (because we don't need him) or Lavezzi (he's going to have his pick of clubs), but we're in with a shout with Bent because of a) Downing and b) other senior England internationals. {Ed002's Note - I don't know what, if any, interest there is in Bent.}(15)(14)

Billy Sharp has a clause in his contract which became active today, which says he can be bought for 1.85 million. So all these people saying he is going for 3 million etc. It's all a load of rubbish.
Source: Sky Sports Transfer Centre(14)(8)Donny's owner said £3M would be what it takes to sign him. That's where people are getting the £3M fromIt's actually 1.85 million for a prem team and 3 million for others.A contract is a contract, if it says 1.85 million, that's what you have to pay. So don't start getting cocky.He vision his way to hull city!This is old news.
Sorry.Billy sharp will be ibrox bound soon, mark my words- wee wise rabI would expect sharp being the person he is to show DONCASTER ROVERS some good character and not leaving for anything less than 3million.. He is too good for 1.85.. he can turn down contractsYou all have it messed up cause if doncaster sell sheffield united have 1st choice but didnt think he would go back back but its club so who nosMessed up to think Doncaster will sell? If a prem team comes in for 1.85 million, they have to accept. I also cannot see Sharp turning down an opportunity to play in the Premiership. If he doesn't go this month he will definitely be going in the summer, that's for sure01 Jan 2012 23:48:01

Any other Norwich fans think Jason Puncheon would be a good signing, on loan then with an option to sign permanantly at the end of the season? Proved he was good enough I think with Blackpool last year, scored on his debut, and also scored against Chelsea(10)(12)I think he will have his sights on bigger and better things than Norwich TBF.He can't even break into QPR side, and he said on Soccer AM he'd be willing to drop down to League 1 to get regular football.Yeah right - even Steven Ireland can score against Chelski these days! Puncheon is OK for Div 1 or mid-table Champ sides only. {Ed003's Note - He did very well last year }I can't understand why you think it would be a decent signing. PL needs to tighten up the defence first.I think we need a winger. We have 2 big strikers, but now we don't play Bennett and Pilkington, we have no width. Against Newcastle, we scored all 4 goals from crosses, and then at the weekend, from a cross. I think we do need 1 defender, but Ayala looked class at the weekend, then with Naughton RB, Tierney LB, also Martin and Whitbread for CB's aswell. Drury looked good aswell against Spurs. I think Gunter would be a good signing, but a CB I am not too sure, i think we have 5 decent centre backs with Martin, Ayala, Whitbread, Barnett and De Laet. I do think we need to replace Ward and Wilbraham though. Looking forward to seeing Vaughan play when he is fit aswell.

Paolo di Canio is still after 4 players and now has the funds to get them thanks to the sales of Leon Clarke, Michael Timlin, Elliot Benyon and Will Evans, and due to loan returns of Jake Jervis and Liam Ridehalgh, and the impending releases of Mattia Lanzano, Jordan Pavett and Matt Clark. He wants to sign a goalkeeper, a winger a central midfielder and another striker. The keeper he wants is Wes Foderingham who is currently on loan to the club from Crystal Palace, and is understood to be close to a permanent deal, if the deal falls through he will go for either Mikkel Andersen of reading, or attempt to bring Big Peter Brezovan back to the club from Brighton. The wingers he is interested in are Luke Rooney from Gillingham and Nick Powell from Crewe, although he could use Billy Bodin on the wings after his return from Torquay. There are several central midfielders he is interested in as he only has Simon Ferry, Jonathan Smith and Oliver Risser in that position as he now sees Alan McCormack as a Centre Half, he is interested in Harry Pell of Hereford, Michael Jacobs of Northampton, Andy Drury of Ipswich or Medy Elito of Dagenham and Redbridge. on the striker front it really depends on whether Mehdi Kerrouche is staying or going and on the form of Billy Bodin when he returns, if he stays we will not sign another striker but if it's decided that Bodin is to go on loan again then he will go for either Izale McLeod of Barnet, Joe Kuffour of Bristol Rovers or Ross Allen of Guernsey FC(4)(4)You guys can have brezovan, fans dont like him anymore however i do and still think he should be playing for us. Does look a likely signing for you but weve just sent a keeper out on loan so not sure if we'd let our back up keeper leaveThink you'll find Nick Powell isn't a winger, nor will he be joining Swindon.1. Michael Jacobs, Luke Rooney, Nick Powell WON'T GO TO SWINDON because higher league clubs are interested in them.
2. Same again with most of the central midfielders that Swindon are 'INTERESTED' in.
3. This is clearly wrong because Medi Elito IS NOT a central midfielder.
4. Joe Kuffour is off to Gillingham.
5. Mcleod is already set to join a league 1 club.
Proof that this is CLEARLY MADE UP.Epic storytelling .had to lie down arter that novel

Norwich hope to make Kyle Naughtons loan deal a permanent move from tottenham as he's been fantastic this season and is enjoying his football. Sources: Pink'un & Sky Sports News.(20)(5)Hope we do get him permanantly, him, tierney and martin have been our best players this season.Looks like Corluka is off this month supposedly to Roma, so I don't see Spurs wanting to sell.
Naughton looks to have done pretty well at Norwich though no?Yeah hes been supurb for us! think hes been able to shine cause hes not surrounded by stars which is what he needed i guess. Naughten is on season long loan anyways, so selling Corluka seems pretty irrelivent to me as Tott will need cover regardless. think this will happen with substantal add ons!The thing is Spurs may sign a CB and they have Kaboul then as cover at right back if Walkers injured. On the other hand Naughton himself might prefer regular starts than coming back and struggling to get games with Walker having already established himself in that position

Southampton are interested in Marvin Sordell of Watford and Matt Phillips of Blackpool.(16)(10)Two players I'd like. These two, maybe one more striker and a centre back and I'd consider it a good January.Forget it - you can't afford Sordell - try for Sharp (o forgot he turned you down) or maybe Maynard (forgot again - he turned you down as well)!When were we turned down by Maynard? We were turned down by Bristol city.
Also we can afford all of those players being the 5th richest club in England and all that.5th richest club HA HA that's why you've got ourstanding debt fact. And none of those players would go to a history less club like yours anyway. I hate you lot and Pompey but Atleast they got history....The 5th richest club in England.....so is that turnover or is it cash in the bank? I just Googled richest football clubs and so far.......your not even in the top 20...IN THE UK. Your owner (now dead) bought you out of administration.....his family have the money....not the clubOur owner actually wiped out all of our debt pretty much as soon as we came into the club ... and it doesnt matter if a blub has £10milllion or £10billion its wether they have money availible for transfers which we do .. even if we werent a rich club (which we are) the money gained from promotion to the championship and the £15million sell of alex chamberline combined is more then enough to provide for our transfer needs ... learn your facts before u commentI googled that to, We are richest in the championship by a long way...And richer than a few prem clubs too.

taken from Leeds o/s
Leeds United have signed Tottenham winger Andros Townsend on loan until the end of the season.(16)(7)Spurs were looking to get shot of him for a bit, didnt you know he is a trouble maker?Didn't you know nobody cares? We are nicknamed "Dirty Leeds" by many clubs, having somebody who causes a bit of trouble will only lift the Leeds crowd more than they already are, which from experience is a lot.

Coventry look set to sell Jutkiewicz to Southampton for £1.5 million.
Coventry owners wanted to keep the highly rated forward but are being forced to sell because fans' boycotts are thought to be costing the club money.
Although fans' boycotts haven't cost the club a significant sum yet, owners SISU have projected the boycott costs forwart to the end of the season and fear a large drop in revenue.
At the very time the club is battling for survival, it is bitterly ironic that stayaway fans are causing more damage than SISU's cost-cutting measures

Sounds very likely.
Also heard that Keogh is wanted by Bolton.(16)(14)

Great news for norwich if the pink in is correct and naughton is to join fulltime. To rangers fan who wrote that rangers get more tv money than champ teans. This is not the case as soon teams in 2nd tier will recive 16million(11)(6)The day the EPL signed a deal with SKY was the day they ruined british football, rangers and celtic would come in top 5 of the EPL if they got the same TV money. Bottom of the league EPL teams get £40m a season and rangers got £4m and they won the league, absolute joke and now the spanish league has taken over the world of football as english culubs spiral into massive amounts of debt, e.g. the glazers were over £700m in debt...

Watford Striker Marvin Sordel expected to hold talks with Blackburn and Bolton and start a bidding war starting at 3M, whereas England U21 keeper Scott Loach will be wanted by a host of Championship clubs, but is likely to opt for a move to long term admirers Spurs in a 2M deal early in the transfer window.
You have to question some rumours, according to various soces Blackburn are about to have their fees frozen by Barclays as they haven't comlied with their regulations and are about to have a clear out of players so they can stave off administration. Why would Marvin opt to join a team that will be in the Championship next season! If Spurs want to pay £2m then let them have Loach so he can keep the bench warm

The mcgugan and gunter rumors are true as he is too good for league 1 or lower championship so will take their chance at the prem with Norwich as paul lambert will give them that chance. As for Rhodes here are 3 reasons why he will come to Norwich: 1. Premier league football. 2. Does not have to move far. 3. Norwich have a good relationship with hudds(Pilks Clarke)(12)(11)While I can see Rhodes joining Norwich, I must say that Huddersfield and Norwich are 173miles apart, so he would have to move to play for them. Otherwise its an 8 hour + round trip.The Huddersfield board and management team are insisting that Jordan will NOT be going anywhere this JanuaryI'll give you one reason why he won't move to Norwich In January, HE ISN'T FOR SALE AT ANY PRICE!One reason why Jordan Rhodes won't sign for Norwich.
He's an Ipswich boy!Actually gunter has said he wants to stayI think what the original poster was alluding to is that he would not have to move far from Suffolk where, I believe his family are based.. but nice research on the distance between Huddersfield and Norwich.
01 Jan 2012 11:08:53
Blackburn Rovers will be looking to sign at least 5 players in the January transfer window these will include Nedum Onouha, Liam Ridgewell, Wayne Bridge, Mark Noble and Roman Pavlyuchenko(10)(15)Wierd since there told they have to sell b4 they can buy and need to raise funds to pay players wages they have on there books already or go into adminSo Blackburn having serious financial problems and having to sell players to cover the £10 million black hole they're in as their owners are refusing to put in fresh money won't affect these moves then??
Expect Samba, Hoilett, Nzonzi and possibly Robinson to go for big money, for a few more to be moved on to reduce the wage bill and for youths to filter through from the reserves.... Possibly a free transfer or two at the end of the month too but unlikely unless a miracle happens and Blackburn can convincingly get out of the relegation spots- after all; who'll want to sign for a team thats about to be relegated??Laughed so muckhi neally fell in my cornflakesBlackburn are looking to release Jason Roberts, Michel Salgado and potentially Paul Robinson to reduce the wage bill and balance the books. Venkys are willing to provide a cash injection also to go with the £5M due from Sky this month. Expect David Hoilett to leave for around £10M, with Steve Kean using this money to bring in 4 players. The transfer fee isn't the issue its more the weekly wages to reduce the running costs i.e. Robinson >£60k per week....

Gunter from nottingham forest to norwich, was on back of paper and nottingham forrest have just extended loan of defender Greg Cunningham as gunter is on his way out(10)(4)Greg Cunningham is a Left Back.....Gunter is a Right Back! Tractor Boy !....so what that got to do with anything?So even after both Gunter and sc saying gunts will not leave, you say he is still going because Cunningham (a left back) has been resigned in loan, to cover for Gunter (a right back), who is being sold.................but then again, it was on the back of the paper

According to the Daily record, Athletico Madrid are interested in Rangers striker Nikica Jelavic.
I think it would be a good move, the spanish league is better than the EPL and athletico madrid are a top 5 team - no EPL top 5 team have shown interest apart from liverpool who are floating in and around fifth.(7)(19)No chance mate on any of your post, think about it he's not that good thats why he's at rangersThe spanish isn't better than epl lolBarcelona and Real madrid are the best, and richest clubs in the world, real madrid is also the biggest, we are seeing that the EPL is crumbling in massive amounts of debt and even the likes of man utd and man city cannot stay in the champions league. {Ed001's Note - Madrid and Barcelona are also struggling financially, Barca have a huge debt and Madrid are having to offer Higuain around to raise funds.}The Spanish league is better, hence the world's best players are all in their league... Jelavic is a decent striker, although almost half his 14 goals this season have been from the penalty spot! Jealvic or Falcao... Hmmm lol
01 Jan 2012 10:46:33
Ally Mcoist has confirmed that Rangers are interested in graham dorrans. Price tag could be a problem as west brom could be looking for £5m+ ... that will either be half the jelavic money or part of the jelavic deal.

Newcastle are going to spend a good chunk of the Andy Carroll money in this window. Jan Vertongen will cost us £8m at least, we have been chasing him for a while now. Also Erik Pieters will sign for £4m which means Simpson can leave and Santon will play at right back. As much as Pardew denies it we are going to sign a striker in the form of Jordan Rhodes for £4m, bargain buy. Also if Tiote leaves Newcastle will be signing Coulibaly for £3m. Outgoing will be Simpson, Perch, Alan Smith(16)(22)Dream on magThe andy carrol money went to pay the clubs tax billRhodes will be at Huddersfield for the rest of this season! Fact.Jordan Rhodes js staying put

southampton fc signing january window:
1.billy sharp £2m
2.marc-andre ter stegen £3.5m
3. tadanari lee undisclosed fee
4.jacob butterfield 775k-900k(19)(51)Stegen's a bit too good for us right now. The others all have potential, but I'd like Matty Philips and another defender.Jacob butterfield have both been heavily linked with Rangers so southampton would have to guarantee that they could get into the EPL and stay there.Ter-stegen would only go to a top premier league club! he's one of the best young keepers in Germany already!Wish you were right but apart from number 3 i think you are way off mateAs much as I want this to happen there isn't a hope in hell of us getting ter Stergen or or butterfield with higher league teams after them !Are you completely mad? Sharp will cost double that amount and will probably get an offer from a Premiership club anyway.Obviously over indulged last night mateBilly sharp 2m??
he has a 3m buy out clause so doubt that very muchBilly sharp has a 1.8 million buy out clause saying that he wont go to your neck of the woods as his son is buried in doncaster he wont leave Yorkshire plus Southampton will start to fade down the league in this new yearHey southampton im a leicester fan whats the point ur not getin billy sharp he will sign for lcfcLeicester have already offered 3m so that shoots down your postDoncaster turned down a 3million bid from West Ham for Billy Sharp. Think Doncasters super agent Mr Mckay will have a say if he leaves and as we all know only deals with certian teams and personal.Never get ter-stegen. he is a hot prospect in germany and will cost more than 3.5 mil.Mystic meg on here again, can read the future, Saints will fade down the league, dont tell me Doncaster are going on an unbelievable run and win the league and Portsmouth are going to be brought by another billionaire. We will see, not being funny but people have been saying our bubble will burst since the first game of the season when we beat Leeds 3-1, dont get me wrong, it has certainly been deflated but we start the new year top of the league, fact is i would rarther be a saints fan with a deflated bubble. COYRSo you are saying if Arsenal, spurs or chelski put a bid in for him he would reject because it aint Yorkshire, get real mate, players commute long distances these days, i appreciate he would want to see his son grave but by moving clubs would not affect that. Players have a short career and he will go were the best money is FACT, one thing for sure, come the end of January he will not be a Doncaster player and without him i would imagine you are dead certs for relagationWish i had a quid for every time someone said 'Southampton will start to fade down the league' for the past 3/4 monthsLOL. i love leicester fans. Why wont you just give up and accept your sht. You tried buying the league, and you messed up. Southampton have already disclosed they dont WANT sharp. So have him. We'll still be above you when the season comes to an end.Sharp has no clause in his contract so stop lyingSharp aint coming to us and neither is Maynard - can someone start making up new rumours - fed up with the old ones . taI agree, i think Adkins has give up on Sharp and is looking at new targets, i dont think Maynard will come here either nor will he go to Leicester or West Ham. His heart seems to be set on a prem team (good luck with that Maynard) Saints look like completing the signing of striker Tadanari Lee for an undisclosed fee, also looks like Lukas Jutkiewicz is a strong possibility. Also there is strong rumours floating around down here that we will sign an atacking midfielder, names being mentioned are peter whittingham and Chris Mccann personaly cant see there clubs selling these player, so i aint listening too much to these rumours.
