Rumours have it that Leicester City are looking at Manchester United defender and starlet Zeki Fryers who's contract finishes in June/July but face competition as Manchester United are looking to renew his contract. But 1st team football could tempt Fryers towards LEicester City as Manchester United cannot offer it as they prefer the older and experienced players.(5)(12)

 


02 May 2012 22:22:40
Hey Ed, any truth in Brian Howard or Ramon Nunez to Doncaster Rover. Thanks(7)(11)Er no haha

 


02 May 2012 22:59:40
Any Burton roumers ED {Ed003's Note - Nope,sorry}(0)(3)ED nothing on managers {Ed001's Note - nothing mate sorry.}

 


02 May 2012 22:43:43
There are rumorus flying around of a move for Michael Owen to Bolton this Summer. Not sure on the details. It could be a loan move, but apparently it'll only happen if Bolton manage to avoid relegation! Extra incentive to stay up!(4)(9) 


 
So it wont happen thenExtra incentive to be relagatedHow will it be a loan deal when his contract is up and Man u won't extend it.Stoke city will send bolton down in a few weeks time

 


02 May 2012 22:38:27
Oxford to sign Thomas Barkhuizen from Blackpool, either on loan or for free depending on what league Blackpool are in.(0)(10)

 


02 May 2012 22:11:44
Watford could go for Ramon Nunez of Leeds.
Released by Leeds, Watford in need of a winger, could be the one(11)(10)Nah Southampton are signing him.Nunez is only transfer listed and has not been released so you'll have to pay a fee, but please take him. I actually think he could be a good player for you and one we've let get away.... time will tellI can see us regretting this one. With a decent run in a team I think he could be a very good player.He is too lightweight, but he can shoot!He did really well for Scunthorpe when he went out on loan, and thought he looked pretty impressive when he played in the cup.

His form in the league for Leeds wasn't great but I think he would be a great signing if he got a decent run in a team.He wasn't releases. He was just transfer listed.

 


02 May 2012 21:39:10
The future of Serbian Radosav Petrovic seems to be outside Blackburn. With Rovers very close to relegation, he's been linked with some German and Russian clubs (Mönchengladbach, Hannover, Spartak Moscow), and even a return to his former club Partizan.(7)(2) 


 
He's been linked with Saints, haven't you heard?He was awful anyway

 


02 May 2012 20:28:24
Any Sheffield united gossip ed? {Ed003's Note - It will all come down to what league you are in mate obvious I know but we should get something soon after that,keep tuned in}(5)(2)You will still be in LEAGUE 1!

 


02 May 2012 20:33:20
hi ED, portsmouth some rumor about the outputs and inputs on the team? {Ed003's Note - It seems more about outgoings at the moment,I suppose things will become a lot clearer once the financial side gets sorted fingers crossed for you guys}(5)(5)

 


02 May 2012 20:26:02
Any Charlton rumours Ed? {Ed003's Note - Just the 2 you have just posted}(2)(2)

 


02 May 2012 15:53:24
Any Rotherham United news Ed??? {Ed003's Note - nothing yet}(2)(5)

 


02 May 2012 19:17:05
Simon Grayson set to raid Leeds for midfielder Adam Clayton who he rates very highly(17)(23)Not much of a suprise! hes been transfer listed by warnockClayton is going only to the premier league. no way he would drop a division when he has a year left on his contractSo huddersfield can afford 15k wagesIf larry brings his old leeds mates in he will lose the fans foreverSouthampton were looking at him.He's more likely to pick up Billy Paynter...So Huddersfield can afford his wages and Leeds can't?Why would he drop down a league. Plus 15k a week wages and a min 1 mill transfer fee.... Barn door Billy maybe more realistic.

 


02 May 2012 17:13:59
Hi Ed, any Burnley rumours? {Ed003's Note - Just the Jay Rod leaving and Trippier seems to be attracting interest,I'm sure it was Newcastle who had him watched}(5)(2)Jay Rod is going to Charlton {Ed003's Note - very doubtful}So you can read a newpaper Ed :o well done {Ed001's Note - don't be silly, 003 can't read! Rodriguez is likely to leave, there are Premier League clubs interested and he is likely to make the step up. I know Wigan are very interested in a new striker, it is not much of an upheaval for him to make and they have watched him most of the season. So long as they stay up, I would think they are the favourites to sign him, though Villa are extremely interested too.}

 


02 May 2012 19:03:44
Burnley will use the £5million to attempt to sign Adam Clayton, who has been transfer listed by Neil Warnock. However Claytons wage demands may be too high for the clarets.
Burnley will also go in for George Boyd as a replacement for Keith Tracey who is on his way to Sheffield Wednesday.(10)(12)5mill? You can have barn door Belford for less lmaoGeorge Boyd is going to Charlton, he is a palace fan and wants to move back to South London but palace dont want him, and as a professional he doesnt mind that charlton are palace's rivalsSouthampton already signed him.

 


02 May 2012 18:57:33
Portsmouth FC likely to go bust in the next week. The club seem to have never learnt that they needed to reduce their wage bill and that has put investors off. Notable players will move to the following clubs:
Ashdown - Bristol City
Norris - Palace
Kitson - Derby
Lawrence - Birmingham
Ward - Ipswich
Rocha - Coventry(27)(6)I think rocha and norris will be staying at portsmouth, if rocha does go then i dont think he would go to coventryRocha and Norris wont be staying, unless they take a huge wage cut.What when pompey got funds till july so know they wont go bust next weekThey have funds till June but have a meeting at the start of the month where the Administrator reports back wether they can carry on, so they are close to going bustSouthampton buying Ashdown, Kitson, Ward and Rocha.Derby will not pay the wages of Dave Kitson unless he lowers his demands significantly.Coventry carnt get anyone in we are in a transfer embargoWhy would Southampton buy four players not even good enough for the Championship?
Is there really such a grouping of "supporters" on the south coast who have no knowledge of football but think they are experts?Sooner the better

 


02 May 2012 18:54:43
colchester want steve howard to replace kayode odejayi(9)(6)Wheres kayode off too i know there was rumors rotherham were after him

 


02 May 2012 18:52:49
Welsh international midfielder Andrew Crofts is likely to leave Norwich as he has fell out ot favour with The Canaries. Southampton, newly promoted to the Premier League, and promotion-playoff challengers Cardiff City have targeted Crofts.(9)(6)I hope we don't lose Andy. Hard worker, young, great workrate, gets stuck in and can also bag a goal. He seems very happy here, I hope he doesn't get forced out.As he was signed for such a ridiculous amount 2 years ago (300k from Brighton), is more likely that they will sell Crofts for any offer over 1.2M...

 


02 May 2012 17:01:43
Any Norwich rumours, Ed? {Ed015's Note - Nothing since the links with the Pompey lads and Chris Gunter again}.(2)(2)

 


02 May 2012 18:47:25
nunez is set to sign for charlton following his release from leeds(16)(12)He wasn't released, a fee shall be required.
wally

 


02 May 2012 18:45:08
lyod sam to sign for addicks after being released by leeds(18)(11)

 


02 May 2012 18:42:35
Kevin doyle set to return to reading in a money plus exchange deal including Adam Le Fondre heading the other way on a loan to a possible permenant. Reading are also interested in Matt Jarvis. Also Wayne Bridge is looking to head to Reading if they can sort out some deal in regards to wages; if not they will opt for Blackburn left back Martin Olson.(11)(20)I agree that Reading might be looking at bringing Doyle back but can't see them letting Le Fondre go to Wolves.

BobbybuffonAbsolutely no chance. Le Fondre is a hero at RFC and will not leave.

 


02 May 2012 18:42:29
Crystal Palace to sign:
Tunchev,
George Boyd
Carl Baker OR Sammy Clingan
Clayton Donaldson(9)(18)Uou can hv clayton donladson his grap bees fanWould be happy with all of them, they all seem realistic too.

 


02 may 2012 18:42:17
bristol city news; chairman colin sexton to step down from bristol city, he will move to bristol rugby, new blood to come in,(12)(5)

 


02 May 2012 18:38:30
Brazilian defender Vasco is in talks with Arsenal with a £15m move to North London.(12)(11)

 


02 May 2012 18:36:07
Dartford, likely to be promoted to the BSP are linked to bringing in Tony Adams as Director of Football(5)(9)

 


02 May 2012 18:35:32
Stoke are keen to sign African champion Emmanuel Mayuka from Swiss side Young Boys. The Bernese club was denied a license to play for the next season, which increases the chances of the Zambian striker to join The Potters.(12)(4)He's too small to play for stoke lolCould see him at Stoke personally. Powerful striker who runs the channelsMayuka will not be joining you his mother has just died so will stay ove in africaHe told you he'll be staying in Africa did he?

 


02 May 2012 18:24:25
West Ham will attempt to sign Matt Jarvis from (relegated) Wolves only if the Hammers earn promotion to the Premier League (via-playoffs).(7)(18)West Ham might well be interested in Jarvis if they go up but the first problem they have is that they will lose to Cardiff and they wouldn't be Jarvis' first choice anyway.

BobbybuffonCardiff are well known for their fails in the promotion-playoffs... West Ham, if they get into the finals, will struggle more against Brum/Blackpool. Anyway, I just hope Jarvis goes to a safe mid-table club at least.

 


02 May 2012 18:22:23
Any news on benito carbone going to qpr?(2)(10)Yes, he isn't

 


02 May 2012 18:11:43
webber released by leeds, could a return to pompey be on the cards (yes were in administration but there is a chance that well be bought so before you start having a go its just a rumour)(7)(12)Your in administration. The way Pompey spend money they deserve to go bust.

 


02 May 2012 18:07:42
we do not no how much will be available to spend yet but it will be 14-17 million including new player wages.

we can stop dreaming about rhodes because he was born in and support ipswich.

can expect Tierney to leave and be at arsenal next season and the gunners have also shot listed holt but will have a hard time getting him as we have set a 8 million price tag on him.

we can expect at least one player from forest as lambert has been at many of there games.

also Morrison will leave as had asked for a transfer as is "unsettled".

we will by mohammed abdellaoue as the deal has already been decided and will join for 4.4 million.

Aaron Wilbraham has asked to stay at the club because he is settled in norfolk.

scot doe how plays for league two Dagenham might be one of norwich new possible defenders for next season as we nearly bid for him in January.(3)(14)Tierney won't go to Arsenal, that's nonsense. And maybe Norwich and Hannover have reached an agreement for Moa Abdellaoue, but it's most likely that he won't agree terms with The Canaries.Rhodes was not born in Ipswich, he was born in OldhamYou beat me to it, rhodes born nowhere near ipswich, ppl just come on here and make stuff up, like holt to arsenal..... wtf!Forest don't have any good players you can have chambers money grabbing sod£8 mil for Holt..really. I suppose then that the £10.5 mil that Arsenal paid to sign an established German international and established Bundesliga striker was an absolute bargain!!

 


02 May 2012 18:05:13
But they wont they have no money ,grant mcCann will join pneare you sure about that(0)(6)

 


02 May 2012 17:58:45
Emile Heskey's contract is up at the end of the season. Expect him to return to Leicester City.(14)(26)How are you going to pay his wages and comply with FFP at the same time?Your staying in the championship then

 


02 May 2012 17:50:46
trotter to brighton in £1.5m deal with harley and vincelot going the other way(2)(16)We definately want keep del boy trotter! so any club who wants to buy him can start bidding atleast £2-5mill ok!£1.5m + £350,000 (Harley) + £550,000 (Vincelot) = £2.4m so close to the 2.5m that you rate him at!

 


02 May 2012 17:39:40
Southampton are looking into Rayo Vallecano's Michu, who was linked to Man Utd in January.
If this comes off, it'd be a pretty decent transfer IMO(17)(6)Another dreamer lolThere's nothing unbelievable about it. It's in the papersWouldn't say he's a dreamer, he's only going on what skysports have said, so do a little bit of research like he has before making yourself look like an aspHow can he be a dreamer when its in the papers today?!In the sn? prob a load of rubbish then lolIt was in a few papers and sky sports news that Southampton were "looking at him". Generally when it is in a few papers and on sky sports news it tends to be true.

However, "looking at him" is a very ambiguous term, doesn't mean anything whatsoever. He is a great player though, so fingers crossed."how can he be a dreamer when its in the papers today"....Used toilet paper carries more credible stories than the tabloids.Its in the daily echo today 5 mill apparently but cant sign him till June 1st so yea we are deluded ha ha idiotsHe quotes what a paper says and he gets called a dreamer? Dear god its doesnt matter if its actually true or not..how can he be a dreamer?

 


02 May 2012 17:39:16
Matty Phillips wont leave Blackpool in the summer.(13)(14)He will if Blackpool don't get promotion. Southampton and everton have shown interest already.HE will be going to Swansea in exchange for Dobbie, plus Swansea will pay a fee aswell.No one knows if he will or not so everyone stfu.

He might go. That is all that can be said on the matter now. Stop speculating and making bold statements that have no validity yet.Its a transfer rumour site, people put rumours on here, 99% of them are prbable untrue. If you want to read about football facts then maybe you should start reading the Sun Newspaper.

 


02 May 2012 17:35:01
MK Dons to sign Neil Mellor from Preston on a free transfer.(11)(7)

 


02 May 2012 17:30:18

Joel ward to ipswich

02 May 2012 17:17:41
Burnley boss Eddie how is going to struggleto bring in the right players this summer due to having to slash the wage bill . On thereeay out prob is jay rod . Marney . Amougou . Easton .Stewart .pods Austin and Wallace every player has a price(13)(5)Where do people make up these rumours. I don't understand the logic behind what you just said. Ye jay rod is likely to leave but with the money coming in for him, we don't need to sell anyone else. Easton and amougou are out of contract, so yes will leave. Marney can leave for me, he doesn't fit the pass and move style that we play

 


02 May 2012 17:17:33
Any rumours on the coventry takeover or the possibility of the transfer ban being lifted ?(6)(4)We wont be took over , and sisu are about to tell us what plans if any they have for next season and if they can afford to stay here

and if he was as good as you say he would be ready to jump ship. if he didn't it would show lack of ambition to stay at a club who really are on the downward spiral.

lack of quality and leadership. you have a couple of decent players and they will be offSince when does Nosworthy play for Sunderland? he signed for Watford in January , if your gonna post on here at least get your facts right and write the truth.Nosworthy is on loan at WatfordOh you mean ambitious like when we nicked your best player for 24 million and you still hav.nt got over it. Trust me mate when villa get a decent manager they will be fighting for europe again.Someone has been playing too much Champ Manager.You lot are idiots you aint got the money for starters

 


02 May 2012 16:56:41
charlton are set to sign Ebanks-Blake from wolves. the striker came close to signing for the addicks 3 years ago(5)(22)This is true about us close to signing him years ago, and now wolves have been relegated he is a big potential targetCant see this one happeningFrom league 1 champions to signing players on premiership wages in the space of a month...really.

 


02 May 2012 16:53:52
Reading have released:

Brian Howard
Andy Griffin
Nicholas Bignall
Cedric Baseya
Ethan Gage

Brett Williams is also free to leave with Northampton keen to keep him after a successful loan. Swindon Town are also interested.

Reading have agreed a fee for Watford defender Mariappa. This is apparently very close to being tied up.

Brian McDermott wants 5 new signings this summer, 3 of which before pre-season begins.source about interest by swindon in williams?(9)(4)I was reading the Reading FC site earlier - I don't think Bignall was released as he was suffering from a knee injury. I think that's what it said anyway.

 


02 May 2012 16:49:53

02 May 2012 16:22:59
Bit of news from Stoke last night


The Potters are interested in Villa's Warnock who they enquired about in the Jan window.

Jarvis will join in June and another Wolves player is interesting the Potters.

Kenwyne Jones will leave in the Summer with 3 Prem clubs and a Spanish club interested.

Highly rated Florent Cuvelier is wanted on loan by Swindon but Stoke feel he can play at a higher lever. Watford rumoured to be interested in a loan.

Stoke have had talks with Jermaine Pennant and he may even feature at the weekend but no decision will be made until after his court hearing.

Nico Kranjcar a player who Pulis had at Pompey is a 4 million pound target.

Still no news on Robert Huth.

Rory Delap is to take his coaching badges under the guidance of Pulis and Kemp and has expressed his desire to one day coach Carlisle Utd

(idiots who prattle on about long ball/Krancjar won't join a rugby team etc need not apply)(9)(6)Truth hurts doesn't it, all together now HOOF!!!Pulis didnt have kranjcar at pompey redknapp didDoesn't hurt at all- just think it's funny that these fans of teams who can't be Stoke spend so much time complaining about them.......like you :-)Pulis tried to loan Kranjcar from Pompey he wasn't there when he played and tried to sign him when Spurs did. I seen some fool did biteThe Rory Delap school of football:
1) If you can kick it then HOOF it as far as possible.
2) If you can't kick the ball kick the man.
3) Learn to throw better than you can kick a ball.....A couple of Spurs players interesting Stoke apparently.

Could see Delap as a good coach. He has 500 odd top class appearances and a great ambassador for the game with his off the field work. Been a great player and well respected.

 


02 May 2012 16:20:26
Stan Ternent to replace Graham Westley at Preston after a disastrous few months including outspoken words about his squad. Ternent will sign Lloyd Sam first. Likely assistant is Gary Brabin(6)(8)Haha what a muppet utter garbage westleys doing fine now and pne will be a hell of alot better next season.Dream on he westly that is thinks he is the best thing since slice bread you t preston will realise that soon

 


02 May 2012 16:17:05
Gary Brabin being linked to the Bournemouth post. Darren Anderton too.(8)(2)God please no barbin who gets sacked from a confrence team and anderton cracking player but never been a manager.No he isn't. He isn't at all. Not even remotely.

 


02 May 2012 16:13:40
Randy Lerner to spend as he want to re-shape the team.

Outs:

Bent to liverpool - £15m
Given to Tott - £3m
fabian delph to Reading - £2.5m
Heskey surprise target for wigan - Free
n'zogbia (does not wish to play for villa no more)
to southampton - £6m

Ins:
McGregor from Rangers - £3m
Weather from Bolton - £2m
Olson from Blackburn - £3.5m
Sidwell from Fulham - Free
Moses from Wigan - £7m
Rodriguez from Burnley £3m
Hooper from Celtic - £2.5m(2)(40)Moses has come out and said that he isnt ready to leave Wigan yet and will be signing a new deal once everything is clear that Martinez is staying and not going to West Brom or Villa, so that aint true... and just because Heskey used to play for us under Bruce does not mean we want him back.No chance will N'Zogbia join Saints. players have said whoever joins needs to fit in with squad morale and hes a miserable sod.You are mentalHooper 2.5,your at it numbskullSidwell why would we sign Sidwell again he was awfulJ-Rod's won't go for anything less than £4.5+ Celtic rejected a £6 million bid for Southampton so there's no chance he'll go for £2.5mWeather from bolton? and 15m for bent
really?The price for the ins, is that the deposits ?I think Villa will lose a few players this summer but can forget about replacing them with big names anymore, unfortunately for Villa days of them being top 6 are just a distant memory, I think they'll survive just but it'll be another season battling relegation. But the prices listed for the players coming in are ridiculous.

BobbybuffonIs this a joke? Someone has their valuation of players way off. Get your head out your asp mate.

I've worked out a key for deciphering your values for you: halve the values of Villa players you have put and double the value of the players your are proposing to bring in.Do you even watch football?! hooper is valued at least £7M. stop posting bullshtYou don't want the weather from Bolton, it rains a lot here

 


02 May 2012 16:02:48
Fleetwood Town striker Jamie Vardy has signed for Leicester in a deal of around £750'000(19)(17)If they rejected 900k from Blackpool they wont accept that!It's 750k plus add onnsAnd its a done deal. . .

 


02 May 2012 16:00:10
barnsley to sign oliver norwood, martin crainie, micheal jacobs and john stead plus a italian defender(12)(9)Jon stead your having a laugh no chance thats a backwards stepHas the italian defender played for rochdale. if not can not see that happeningJohn stead is actually a good player on his day better than andy gray or craig davies. but i heard we was signing brian howard and sam hird

 


02 May 2012 15:59:23
blackpool to sign stephen dobbie for 1mil early in the summer reliable source(20)(3)

 


02 May 2012 15:50:40

Gough left the Championship as he was not able to get any first team action, following stiff compotion from Ben Hamer, John Sullivan, Nick Pope and youngster Dillon Phillips. Source Charlton Athletic offical website, colum ' Gough off to gas '.(5)(2)Good luck to him! young talented guy

 


02 May 2012 15:49:58
11 players are told they can leave leeds:
The most shocking being Adam Clayton being transfer listed.
Released players are: Alex Bruce, Lloyd Sam, Mikael Forsell, Danny Webber and Maik Taylor
Transfer Listed: Adam Clayton, Ramon Nunez, Billy Paynter, defenders Paul Connolly and Andy O'Brien, and goalkeeper Paul Rachubka.(19)(1)Ramon runez will be snapped up by crystal palaceWest Ham now interested in Adam ClaytonI hear Clayton was the mystery player who requested 15k a week wages; which Bates dubbed 'ridiculous at this level.' For someone with his ability Mr. Bates, and with respect, I dont think it is. The lad is every bit as good as Kaspar Schmeichel and he was on 16k a week, and oh yeah, he's a GOALKEEPER.
wallyLeeds a big club-ha ha-cant afford 15k-We're not famous anymore!!Ntexactly a rumour as its Warnocks retained/released list published on WednesdayCan afford 15k but theres better players for 15k

 


02 May 2012 15:45:04
Charlton manager Chris Powell is hoping to bolster his strike force for next season with acquisition of previous fan favourite Izale McLeod after impressing at Barnet.

Powell is also looking at Alan McCormack from Swindon to strengthen his midfield ready for the Championship Challenge.(6)(12)These are past players that have failed at the club, i can promise every cafc fan that saw these awful players, we will never sign them againNow you are having a larf! Those two players were not deemed good enough last season next season will be harder.

 


02 May 2012 15:34:37
paul green to return to his favourite club doncaster
rovers after leaving derby(10)(20)He is one of a number of midfield players being lined up by Leeds United. Warnock is looking at three or four, reportedly including Green.

Celtic interested in jordan rhodes and matty phillips...scouts have been watchin these players for a while now.(19)(17)Would not be able to afford. Never mindI said back in January that Jordan Rhodes would be at Celtic in the summer.

Celtic and Huddersfield have already held talks which would involve young Celtic players and fringe players being made available to Huddersfield ! Plus a fee of course!

Watch this space!Rhodes would cost 3 mill and phillips the same and celtics selling ki for 6 mill so
celtic can affoed itGood call rhodes is good strikerThey'll both want prem football after grafting in the champ/league 1 and with prem clubs interested. No offence Celtic but Scottish football doesn't interest top players.Joe ledley? Gary Hooper?It shows that is SPL is a low standard when they want to buy players from league one and the championship3 million for rhodes time to wake up they rejected 5,5 in jan from west ham dream on

George Thorne of West Brom to join Portsmouth on a season long loan(10)(11)Why would he drop to league 1 when he's getting games in the premThe thing is though he isnt getting any games at the moment, he injured himself whilst on loan at Portsmouth, hence his return to wba

 


02 May 2012 13:00:55
Reading are understood to have put Aiyigbeni Yakubu at the top of their summer shopping list - ahead of former favourite Kevin Doyle.(19)(12)Why would they go for a lazy selfish player who doesnt even get back back and because of this Leicester didnt go back for him.
Doyle is a much better option

Northampton will be securing the services of 2 ex players and a host of serious signings to push for promotion next season.

Gábor Gyepes is keen to get back into regular football and with Clark Carslile looking to sign permanently the two will make up the cobblers central defence next year.

Another former cobbler, Danny Jackman will be returning to the club (Confirmed by source close to Jackman)

Boothroyd will also be looking to secure the services of Danny Webber, Nicky Ajose as well as players from Leeds, Chesterfield, Darlington and rivals Peterborough.

Fees will be paid for at least 2 players in the summer transfer window.(13)(12)

Leicester have made a £5 million summer bid for Reading winger Jimmy Kebe.(8)(37)Premiership or Championship hmmmm. Hes just signed a new contract and we dont need your money. Enjoy championship football as you will be there for many more years.Ha! you kidding arnt you?! Why would he want to follow Matt Mills and failWhy would he go to leicester when he will be playing in the premier league next seasonUtter toshSo hes finally got to play in the premiership but wants to go to the champtionship?...not a chance ...why would Jimmy Kebe want to go down a division and most likely stay there in a team of underachievers ?West Ham intrested in signing Jimmy Kebe2 things wrong with that 1) Kebe is part of Readings plans and b) Leicester are going to struggle to comply with new Financial rules which they voted against.
More likely players out of LeicesterDont know what every1 is on about he only said they have bidded for him and he hasnt said hes actually going. u all need to remember this is rumours instead of moaning all the timeWell saidLets face it, even Barcelona are interested in Kebe. He is God.Kebe is better than LeicesterHe's Jimmy Kebe, He Does What He Wants

02 May 2012 11:28:00
Joe Lewis not interested in coming to
Brighton although he's good friends with
CMS. Apparently he's being hawked by
premier teams to work as an understudy.
Especially QPR, Southampton,Wigan
and 'Yes' (and my eyes roll) Norwich.
Norwich is seen to be his 1st choice
as it is the closest from Ptrbrgh where
him and his family can settle easily.(6)(17)Norwich would likely be his first choice seeing as he is a local lad from our academy from where he moved to P'boro. However i do not think that we are interested in him. We have a quality, ever improving keeper in John Ruddy and 2 England international young keepers in Declan Rudd and Jedd Steer. No room for Joe to come back im afraid.He started off at Norwich so I could see hime going there to be fair.Norwich have some good goalies, no need for LewisWhat academy?Closest is Ipswich, get on the phone Joe and chat with PJ, and get regular games, not bench warmingThe academy which, up until now, has been seriously hampered by having the smallest catchment area in turns of population of any professional club in the country. Now we have category 1 status under the new rules we can attract youngsters from further afield and hopefully produce a higher calibre of player than before. Even so we have had a few players progress into the squad over recent years, although Rob Green and Bellamy are the only players who have gone onto better things. Heres hoping the future is brighter!

There's strong interest from BHAFC to
sign a number of players from Peterborough
but only one or two names will fit
the bill and poyet's vision of football
at the amex. Suprisingly enough
inside information tells me it's
Paul Taylor. Apparently Poyet has been
impressed on a number of his performances
and believes he can turn him into a
real marksman at a cost that both
Tony Bloom and Gus will be pleased with.
£400-500k(2)(9)Lol you are so wrong. He's already signed for a Prem side! Oh and by the way the price is 3 mill plus adonsWhy are all these deluded 'boro fans so convinced that Taylor will go to the PL, and for millions?

His strike rate in the Championship was very average. 500K is generous.Why do all Boro fans think they're players are worth millions each?

Where did they finish this season?

Stoke will sign Zaha , Hoilett and defo in the summer(6)(22)Haha ye ok then, Hoilett will have the liikes of Tottenham, Everton, Liverpool and Newcastle after so you have got no chance, and Defoe is a no go because IF and its a big if he will be sold once again there will be bigger teams after him, Zaha is possible, but are you gonna drop Ethrington who in my eyes is your best playerEthrington stokes best player? u havnt seen him play this season i take it lolI enjoy a good joke, just as much as the next man, but stokeEtherington has been real poor and Pulis is ready to sign Jarvis.

Stoke will not go for Hoilett although Rudge has watched him several times and Zaha also.

Hoilett looks nailed on to join SpursWhy would any of those players want to join a Rugby team for?

Reading Football Club are in advanced
talks with Leed United over a £2.5m
move for 25 year old prolific
goalscorer Ross McCormack. The £2.5m
fee will have significant add ons
depending on goals and appearances
and could stretch up to £4.5m by the
end of next season. Leed United have
also been given the option of a part
exchange and will have the pick of
Sean Morrison, Jay Tabb or Karl
Sheppard to add to their promotion
pushing sqaud for next season.(16)(27)£2.5m....yes please. OK, he scored 19 goals, the facts are, the chances he missed, he should have had 30.As a leeds fan i would snap any clubs hand off for 2.5 million for rossco. hes good, but one dimensional most of the time and not fast enough for my liking.He has the ability, good finisher, great dribbler, and has a strong free kick to boot. However 2.5 million would be enough for us to bring in a few players to aid the war chest at Warnocks disposal this year. But we don't want any of that carp offered a p/e.Not a premier league player - we dont want him!!Obviously from a Reading fan who has seen he's scored a few goals and decided to link their club with him. Do some research and you'll see he's not that great. Definitely not prem.You dont know what your talking about selling your top goal scorer is madness 25 goals in a carp side

Fasten your seatbelts Rangers fans the hard times are just about to get harder. With Bill Miller now being the approved buyer and with his plans of a new co, all sell able assets will be sold, starting with any players who are worth any monies! Duph & Phelps have been dealing with negotiations and players are moving a cut price deals. The following players will leave:

S. Davis and K. Lafferty to Villa for a total of £2.8m.

A. McGregor & S. Naismith to WBA for £4.6m

M. Edu to Montpellier for £800k

Whitakker to Nowrich for £500k.

All other Gers players will not have a sell on value and potentiall might move with the New Co to Div 3. Duph & Phelps to realease the news in press conference booked for 2.30pm today!(14)(12)May be wrong but doesn't the transfer embargo prevent players leaving or is it only incoming signings that are suspended? {Ed001's Note - incoming only.}This post is defo posted by a dreaming celtic fanThey wont go for them pricesHehehe rangers are doomed, sure yous can all be celtic fans & see what its like supporting a true historical global football clubDivision 3 newco ? Bill miller has been given assurances by the SFA and SPL that rangers will stay in the SPL next season ... Thats why his bid was unconditional, so stop dreamin'

Brett Williams is also free to leave with Northampton keen to keep him after a successful loan. Swindon Town are also interested.

Reading have agreed a fee for Watford defender Mariappa. This is apparently very close to being tied up.

Brian McDermott wants 5 new signings this summer, 3 of which before pre-season begins.(15)(10)I cant believe Swindon are interested in a so called striker who has scored about 3 goals in 60 plus games.Mariappa is a perfect fit in the royals' back line

Yeovil Town have been linked with 3 goalkeepers as Gary Johnson aims to sign a permanent keeper so the club dont rely on loans.

Chris Weale: 30 year old Ex-Yeovil player, currently at Leicester. Played a total of 162 games for Yeovil with a further 10 on loan from Bristol City. Weale scored a header for Yeovil whilst on loan from Bristol.

David James: 41 year old former England keeper, recently released by Bristol City after 81 appearances for the club. Would be a massive signing for Yeovil but would only be short term.

Jamie Ashdown: 31 year old Porstmouth keeper who is out of contract at the troubled club. Ashdown has played 123 games for Portsmouth in 8 years at the south coast club and is regarded as a fine shot stopper.(8)(11)

 


02 May 2012 07:01:35

West Bromwich Albions attempt to sign Chris Hughton may be thwarted if Hughton gains promotion to the premier league with Birmingham. With Portsmouth having a "Hands Off" approach and Poyet stating he'll only leave Brighton for a big club, The Baggies will turn to Gary Megson to re-take the reigns. Solid Source(9)(30)Megson is terrible wba should go for
steve bruce or paulo di canio
paulo will be a top manager soon so will
neil lennon and chris powellMore chance of hell freezing over than Peace working with Megson again. Birmingham's financial position means they may lose Hughton whether they are promoted or not.Well West Brom are a big club in comparison to Brighton and it would be a step upSteve Big Bonze nooooooooooooo, noooooooooo,nooooooooooo"Solid Source"

So is faecal matter, which is what the above rumour is.This has to be a dingle fan with nothing to look forward to.

 


01 May 2012 22:07:01
Out of favour Stoke midfielder Wilson Palacios is a summer target for Southampton(11)(28)Maybe but could do beter
saints should go for zaha and rodger
johnsonZaha is quality, but you'll face a lot of competition to get him (not that this means he wouldn't go to you, of course, just that he'd probably cost a fair bit). Don't see the attraction of Roger Johnson myself. He also seems to have a lot of baggage at the moment.Could do better :-) Yeah right


Palacios isn't out of favour just unfit. Pulis has said he will play a big part next season. Way out of Soton's reach and classDon't know why this is getting voted down so much - seems reasonable.

Player with prem experience currently not playing regularly at his club. And will be relatively cheap for a youngish, experienced midfielder.

I wish people would explain their doubts rather than just vote unbelivable all the time, shed some light to those who are less informed than them :S"Way out of Southamptons reach and class"

Granted we are no 'big fish' in this division but some people are deluded with immediately assuming we have no power in the transfer market. You go out of the prem for 7 years and when you come back with a stronger team, greater fan base, better management and more finances and you are deemed a tty carp little team with no power in the market. The day the transfer market gets dictated by teams like stoke will be the day hell freezes over. I appreciate we aren't going to sign massive names, but come back down to earth and recognise Saints will be a big force in the transfer market for middle table clubs. The ambition is to get to Europe eventually, and we are going to sign quality players and rival clubs like stoke in the transfer market. We're not coming up to be whipping boys and we have better finances, fan base and ambitions than many of the clubs in the prem.

Hi ed, haven't heard any West Ham rumours recently, any possible deals in the works at Upton Park? {Ed003's Note - I'd imagine we will get some when we know what division you will be in mate}(8)(5)Genuine post, no wind up. If West Ham fail to win promotion they are in huge trouble. Their wage bill is approx £38m and all Championship clubs can only have a max investment of £6m next season, £5m the season after, and then £3m.

Failure to bring your outgoings down will result in heavy fair play fines that are distributed to the other clubs in the league.

BBC ran a very good article on it. Have a Google.

It's up or bust for West Ham.Ravel morrison to saints :)In reply to "Genuine post" above, I've seen that too religated clubs have one year to comply. Clubs are trying to get around it with stadium sponsorship deals and the like. Most fans dont seem to have caught onto what it means yet.

Ncfc mattRemind me who are currently the worst team ever in the premier league ?Derby?We only had 10 men.

Bitter, bitter, Leicester.Would be great if people stopped having a go at each other, we're all in the same boat! Remember this is a website for transfer rumours, not bitchingWorst team ever in the Prem? Without a doubt. But how many of those players are left? 0. Nothing at the club is left from that season, Derby will be in the mix for play offs this season, without a doubt.

Danny wilson will be able to use these fund to mkae sheffield united a team that is fighting for promotion no matter what league there in next season with summer signings such as nick powell, marc pugh and other young players that are all capable to proved and league one and higher(2)(22)Another Championship manager rumour?Wow, you're a reaLOL dreamer. Powell has been on Arsenal's radar all season, and you think little Sheff Utd can get him?

El shaarawy - Leicester
Schmiecel - so'ton, man utd
Falcao - barca, Chelsea
Higuain - Chelsea
Ronaldo - Chelsea, man city
Hulk - Chelsea
Bale - barca
Modric - barca, man city, man utd(8)(62)El Shaarawy to Leicester?And Kawaga too? What are you on?The same kagawa who plays for german champions dortmund and is valued at about £20 mill. and el shaarawy from ac milan who is one of the most promising young players in europe? should be a good summer for Leicester.Stupid Leicester fansEl Sharaawy is going to be one of the worlds best. Kagawa is interesting Man United. Have a word with yourself mate..Kagawa to Leicester LOL!I think someone is a Leicester fanGary hooper will not be leaving the hoops for a small team or a small fee
sorry villaI think Villa (even though they've been terrible this season) are a LOT bigger than Celtic. I mean, when was the last time you sold a player to City? Or when did you last buy a player for £24Mil....'nuff said.Haha villa a small team are you havin a laugh you person celtic are in the worst league in the world if hooper wants to get better he,l join a prem team and villa wont go down.When was the last time villa went to barca and won the champions league then went on to man u and won the premiership and just cos you can spend £24 mill on a player dont make you a big club. fan base,history and how well known you are thats what makes you a big club.i am a city fan by the way .....'nuff said P.S shrewsbury must b a big team as well thenCeltic fan, Villa is a bigger team than Celtic even if they go down. Prem > Champ > SPL/League 1 > League 2. EeeeeeeediotLeicester fan by any chance?Villa are the 5th most successful team in English League history. They also FOUNDED the league. I'm pretty sure Villa is huge compared to Celtic. Celtic are just damn awful. All the SPL teams are. Everyone knows that...I mean every year its the same. Celtic or Rangers...Rangers won't even be there next season, so it'll make your little club even more lonely, without your pathetic sectarian 'derby'. By the way, I don't even support Villa, so I am completely neutral on this. It's pretty bloomin' obvious who the bigger team is.People need to get down to footy pitch and burn off some energy, stop trying to see who has the biggest balls over a football forum ffs.

Celtic are a big club, irrelevant that they play in a crap league. Villa are also a big club. Couldn't care less whose is biggest, they're both decent, stop arguing about menial rubbish, get out and do something.

From a Saints fan (medium sized club but loving it)Can't wait to see the saints play in the EPL again!!!!As much as I'd LOVE El Sharawry and Kagawa to come to Leicester - I can't really see players from the brightest young players from the potential Serie A champions and the already crowned Bunde Champions coming to a (currently) middle of the table championship side.

I can dream. But no.

 


01 May 2012 20:11:19
Reading and Leeds United have both made official bids for Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph.

Reading have long been admires of the young midfielder and manager Brian McDermott is said to have put the midfielder top of his summer wanted list.

Leeds manager Colin Warnock had Delph on loan, but Delph would prefer to remain in the Premier League and looks set for a move to the Royals this summer.(12)(24)Although it's not been in the media, the rumour of Delph to Reading has been going on since January and just won't go away. Would be a good signing.Get your facts right, it was Grayson that got Delph in and got to say that I wasn't that impressed. Hasn't done anything in the prem league and very injury prone. Should've stayed with Leeds like a few players that have jumped ship and got nowhere.Who's Colin WarnockEr Colin Warnock?? Can't even get the gaffers name right so not much truth in this oneYep this one keeps rearing its head.

Leeds haven't got to pennies to rub together, so they're out! Bates needs to go.'Colin' is his nickname. He has no interest in Delph, although I'd love to see him back. If he'd stuck with Leeds, he might have moved to an even better club than Villa, and for more money at that, even though I do think Leeds got a very good deal at the time.
wallyLOL at Leeds fans not knowing why he gets called Colin!Its neil not colin {Ed015's Note - Its an anagram}If you take the letter in 'Colin' out of .. {Ed003's Note - I think this has been exhausted now,thanks for the help though}Lmao who is colin warnock? ya muppet & there letting clayton go cuz hes looking 15k a week & leeds sold delph to villa for 6m so would expect him to be on more than 15k a week at them, so this looks like bs

Hughton is their favoured replacement. I have also heard that Gus Poyet is also on the considered list.It's just a dingle trying to deflect attention away from the fact they're the worst team in premiership. Enjoy this championship dinglesWba need hughton or di canio but not gus

Saints WILL buy Demba Ba, Alex Song, Victor Moses and Andy Carroll, then finish top 6 in the league were we belong... Teams to be relegated are Wigan, West Brom and Reading as they dont belong with the likes of Saints, United and Liverpool in the Premier League. {Ed015's Note - Oh dear}.(10)(87)I want some of what he's on!OMG ive heard it all now lolWhat world are you in? Dream on, you deserve to be bk in league 1, how are you a top 6 team? Explain please. . .What a little Richard!
Either they have let the inmates out of the looney bin early or more than likely, this is a Pompey supporter with nothing better to do than try and make Saints look stupid.
Get a life and try and realise Saints will continue to add players they can mix into the current squad and develope the style of play along the lines it has been moving for the last couple of years.
With the possible exception of Hooper, I would anticipate any other signings will be real surprises to the true fans, but well researched and good value for money-which I could not see in any of the rubbish posted above.Wow that was a personal favourite i must admitDont know if i should take this as a joke or not if your being serious im a bit worried for yer lolOh dear indeed. As a saints fan I just want to say please ignore this drivel. Was clearly not written by a saints fan. We may be optimistic but we're not deluded.Earth calling saints fan come in saints fan your tablets are ready.We dont belong with saints, remind me who finished above Southampton in the league?You know it is a joke when he puts Andy Carroll and wanting top 6. Southamton had a long stint in the premier league/division 1 but did not really challenge anything, just a middle table team. I think you need to get off what ever you on and get in the real world. By the way the teams that are there deserve to be there.HAHA what would everyone do if all this happened lolNo-one wants to play where the manager thinks he is better than he actually is..1 You'll be back in the championship this time next year..!Please don't let this kind of thing go up ed, not all saints fans are like this as this probably isn't even a saints fan. If he is then he probably hasn't been for more than a season, most of us have been through all the troubles and are just happy we are back in the prem and would be ecstatic to stay up. Don't let trolls wreck the name of my club please!THIS IS CLEARLY NOT A SAINTS FAN
Please don't judge us all from this tools comentsMy god if anyone actually believes this is a saints fan and not someone taking the mick then they are as dumb as! Cant believe you all fell for it."THIS IS CLEARLY NOT A SAINTS FAN" I'd agree, funny though!Excellent rumour. I had a mouthful of coffee, you scoundrel.
wallySo you think southhampton are a club that belongs in the top flight, how long is it since you have seen the doctor ?You must be crazy to think you will get some of these players to join a team that will struggle. Maybe Demba Ba but that's about it. As for a top 6 finish.....not a hope, either revise your expectations or you will receive a bit of a shock!You're an embarrassment to saints fc. That's if you actually are saints supporter and not a Pompey fan looking to get adverse reaction.This bloke is clearly a sample. But so is the reading fan. You boys crept through the back door but the premiership will hold no mercy and you'll be dumped in your backsides.
Also Adkins is not better than he thinks. He's done a superb job. Know anyone else who has 4 promotions in their first 6 years of management? Get your facts right you tool.Make saints look stupid? Saints fans have done a great job at that themselves all season long, why should now be any different?How have Saints fans made themselves look stupid this season?! Have a feeling I know what team you supportReading will stay up, they have lots more money because of the russian owner whos name i cant say, if anything were more likely to finish in the top 6 than saints :0I'm a Saints fan. This is just silly - definitely not posted by a Saints fan (or at least a sane Saints fan). The ambitious and deluded in me says top half finish if we are lucky. Realistically I just want to get by next season unscathed and make a few tactile signings.

Also just to correct a couple of posts..

"Adkins...4 promotions in their first 6 years of management? Get your facts right you tool."

If you are going to tell someone to get their facts right, I'd advise getting yours right. Adkins has managed for just shy of 10 years, not 6.

"Reading will stay up, they have lots more money because of the russian owner whos name i cant say, if anything were more likely to finish in the top 6 than saints"

If you are basing survival and success in the prem solely on wealth of owner... I hate to break it to you but we are significantly wealthier than you in that department!Reading will not finish in the top 6! Trust me. Saints have alot of money too, they are the 5th richest club in the country. I dont think either club will be doing a Man City spending wiseIf I remember right this time last year every one said we will struggle in the championship we didn't and apart from the top six I see nothing to scare us so coysOh...my...days! ok, maybe you have enough to afford some of those players but its not saying they would actually want to join you!

wigan have been in the prem for a few years now, and have been doing well lately, they battle and have earned the right to be in the premier league. West Brom have held their own this year and will find the right replacement for Roy, both those teams are ESTABLISHED premier league clubs....something you havent been for a number of years! and even then you were a mediocre one at that....keep dreaming and enjoy your relegation battle next season

David James hass been released by Bristol City along with Jemal Cambell-Ryce. Yeovil could be a possible destination as it will mean that the players don't need to move far and Cambell-Ryce played under Glovers boss Johnson at City when he was in charge.(12)(3)DJ going to SwindonHe bleedin aint.....believe me, he's not!!

West Brom board have no desire to
chose managers like Megson, Bruce,
McCleish, Strachan etc. to replace
Hodgson. Following the styles of the
previous managers that have been given
the position the board would like to
approach and select from the following:
Hughton, Martinez, Poyet, Powell etc.
All these posts stating Megson are from
bitter Wulfies.(12)(10)Martinez wont leave Wigan for West Brom. End of.So basically they only want good managers. fair enoughHughtonLOL, Powell has only been in the job a year! FFS will someone please give Alan Curbishley a job, he is a talented manager who will grow the club he works for. He's never been sacked, does tat not say it all!As a Wolves fan I hope you do not get Megson , he is poison.Curbs would be a good contender.You are a two bit club as your new manager will find out just wait and see time will tell

Crystal Palace rumours-

Ins-
Tshabalala- Free transfer- Had a trial at Crystal Palace in January and is said to have agreed already that he is to join in the summer when his contract at Kaiser Chiefs expires.

David Norris- Dougie Freedman is said to be a fan of Norris. Tried to sign him when his contract expired at Ipswich last summer, now Portsmouth are relegated he is said to be trying to get him in the latest Pompey clearout.

Henri Lansbury- Loan- Freedman's looking at his midfield as a real area to improve due to lack of creativity and ability to carve out chances. Impressed with Lansbury's appearances in a West Ham shirt despite the few he actually had Freedman is said to be trying to sign him in the summer for the season though faces competition.

Lucas Piazon- Loan- With Palace's on-going trouble's infront of goal continuing Freedman is set to turn to hot-prospect Lucas Piazon in order to attempt to solve the on-going crisis. With Piazon still long from getting his Chelsea debut, Freedman is hoping he will be able to take Piazon in order to help him grow as a player and aid in the next campaign.

Jeffrey Bruma- Loan- Despite Freedman's reluctency to sign players on loan he is interested in making the defence more compact and aims to bring Bruma in following several previous loans to help sure up the defence and act as cover for Gardner and Mc Carthy.


Outs-

Nathaniel Clyne- Contract expires in the summer, Clyne has said he won't be signing a new contract and is looking for a possible route to the Premier League. Many teams having expressed interest.

Sean Scannell- Underperformed this season, not clear if he will be sold or loaned out.

Kagisho Dikgacoi- Lost his place in the first team and has since become out of favour. Looking to sell.

Antonio Pedroza- Loan- Hasn't been a huge hit in the Crystal Palace side, Freedman is said to be looking at League One clubs to potentially loan Pedroza to.

David Wright- Taking up his coaching badges at the moment, could be retiring from the game to continue as a coach.

Jermaine Easter- Freedman's first signing as Palace boss has underperformed since arriving at Palace. Freedman is said to be looking at improving the squad starting from the front. Continued spectulation surrounds Wilfried Zaha though Freedman has expressed his desire to keep his young prospects and with Zaha in no rush to leave, having signed a 5 and a half year contract in January he looks set to stay unless a significant transfer fee comes in.

Palace turned down 7 million from Bolton in January so it looks like a significant sum will be needed if Palace's hold on Zaha is to loosen.(11)(12)Tshabalala to nottingham forest .. not palaceJeffrey Bruma - Is on a 2 Year Loan to a German team since the start of the last season so that rumour is not trueJeffrey Bruma signed a one year loan with an option of a further one year at the start of last season, he's due back at Chelsea come the end of the season. So yes, it is true.

As for Tshabalala we'll just have to wait and see then.

Southampton are wanting to sign Matt Mills from Leicester and believe they will be able to sanp him up for a fee of £2m(13)(22)Will be allowed to go for £3-£3.5m. West Ham is the likely destination.Hav him for freeHow can West Ham be a likely destination when they dont even know what league they are in next year?We'll be very lucky to get 3mil for him.I'd take 1.50 and a freddo! if we got 2 / 3 million for him i will drive him up there to his destination myself! {Ed003's Note - Chocolate or caramel ?? }As a reading fan I have to say I'm loving the Leicester fans hatred of mills and I'm so glad his career has fallen apart 5m we were laughing all the way 'chin up mills'I am a Wolves fans and as you all know who read on this site the fans are Angry at Jez Moxey.I am more than happy he had the sense not to shell out 5 million pounds for Mills.Well done Reading on cashing in on him.Sounds about right but barely up to Premiership standard.Leicester didn't pay 5m for him upfront, a large portion of it was clauses on promotion and appearances.

if he plays one more game for them, leicester will have to pay another million.

 


01 May 2012 17:56:41
Tottenham very close to getting Ganso.

Southampton will offer £6million to Wolves for winger Matt Jarvis.(29)(21)Jarvis will go to a bigger side than saintsNorwich inquired and were told eight million.You have no idea what Saints would offer for a player, and even when a deal goes through that would probably still be the case.It's possible that they've made a monetary enquiry though.

Marko Marin is the first of around 5

conclude in an attempt to revamp
the Chelsea squad.

If Chelsea are not in the Champions
League then targets such as Higuain,
Lavezzi, Cavani, Gaitan and Hazard
will not even be considered.

And its more likely Chelsea will bid for
Hulk from Porto, Ilicic from Palermo
and Van de Wiel from Ajax(5)(10)

 


01 May 2012 16:27:48
on sales of:
varney,pearce,halford,henderson,lawrence,huseklepp,benjani, the portsmouth expects to hire three or four players who will be:
nathan ellington - derby county - free
liam o'brien - barnet - free
nuñez - leeds - exchange with jason pearce(5)(10)You have to be joking!

Your manager indicates all of the current squad will go (or very near). He is likely to be on his way back to WBA. The administrator and the Football League say that there is every chance you will be liquidated. Many of the clubs backroom staff are being made redundant and there is no indication as where any funding will come from after this month.
Who in their right mind would join such a sinking ship?Nunez is a quality player if you use him as a focal point of the team. Would be a good deal for both Leeds and Pearce, although i think Leeds should be due 100K or so extraDerby are going to sell you a player that belongs to Ipswich? Sort of destroys your credibility somewhat. LOL Play Up or should that read Pay Up Pompey!Wont happen, all players will be leaving and the club will be liquidatedNathan ellington to Derby..that's a laugh.. we got rid of him he was carp when we had him on loanNo chance Pompey will be liquidated. You only need to understand the money that would be lost if that happened (Prem parachute money would stop and all players released on 'frees') to understand why, as a backstop a leading creditor ( Balram Chanrai) will buy.Ellington is at Ipswich and has another year left on his contract, he's not featured at all this season, could do a job for pompy in league 1, others released Lee Bowyer, Abrahim Sonko, Richard Wright, hey you could take them all and how about us chucking in a certain P Jewell !

Hogg, Eastace

Murray, McGinn, Tommy Smith

Sam Baldock

Sell Deeny, Marriapa and Yeats

Buy Tommy Smith & Thomsz Kuszczak

Get Sam Baldock on a season long loan(2)(19)It would make the rumour more believable if you could spell the players names!!Get His Name Right...Its Not Tamas or Thomasz .....it is TOMASZ.....Come On You OrnesSpurs, QPR, Fulham, Werder Bremen and even Bayern Munich all reported to also be showing interest in the out-of-contract Manchester United keeper and your going to buy him????We don't need to buy him, he's free. Ultimately he wants first team football, decent wages and would rather stay in the UK. We can offer him two of those things, I doubt many bigger teams than us could offer all three. So it's up to Kuszczak to decide what he wants most.Also Deeney will not leave. No Premier League team will buy him so we will keep hold of him. I doubt any Championship team would pay the price that we know he's worth.

Kasper Schmeichel has rejected rumours of him moving away from the King Power stadium and has said he will stay and help with promotion next year.

Both West ham and Leeds are both considering making an other for Leicester Defender Matt Mills but the cost may be holding them back as Leicester wouldnt want to make a huge loss.

West ham are also considering making a move for Jermaine Beckford.

Leicester considering making an offer for Derby County striker Theo Robinson.

John Pantsil and Steve Howard have both left the club.

Nigel Pearson will 100% be the manager in the home dugout of the King Power stadium next season. With Vichai 'tops' Raksriaksorn still confident they made the correct decision to bring back Pearson after the sacking of Sven Goran Erikson.(17)(9)Norwich may be interested in schmeichel

16-tallack---3-rocha---5-magri---22-webster

28-colson---19-wheeler---8-norris---2-ward

---------11-ellington----9-futacs(2)(19)Ashdown is out of contract and Ward is leaving. Norris and Rocha likely leaving due to big contractsJoel Ward is on his way to Ipswich, Kelvin Etutu will take his place, free agent Ibrahima Sonko will take Magri's place, George Thorne (loan) will take Wheelers place, Free agent David Cotterill will take Colsons place. Then that would be a decent squadPretty accurate apart from those number 1 - 11. Havant & Waterlooville will soon be the biggest team around Portsmouth.Ward will be gone, other players mentioned, with exception of Ellington, are expected to remain. Requests to loan Thorne from WBA will be made and are expected to be successful. Appleton then wants up to 10 further additions, almost all loans or 'frees' so as to cover the additional games involved in div 1.

Shay Given or Steve Harper - Free

Nathaniel Clyne - £2 million

You're having a laugh mate.As a saints fan, I am begging you to stop fueling the backlash by putting up such stupid posts. most of them are carp players anyway.Ebanks Blake free? He's in contract. You toally undermine you post by coming up with such factually incorrect drivelShay given? are you sure pal? i know this is a rumour site but c'mon!! one year into a 5 year contract, you realy think he would go to a) saints B) for a free? i think notAbsolute rubbish! If you have no clue yourself take a look at Nigel Adkins post on the Saints website today.
I can only see perhaps 4 players coming in and they will be of a quality better than already at the club. I expect at least the same number to go.
The club knows who they want and I strongly suspect no-one outside of the club will get to know who they are until the deals are done so these "rumours" are total guesswork and make the club look stupid.George Boyd is under contract for another year too -_-Gary hooper is well better than kyle laffertyLoad of bcks all of these players are committed to their current clubs and all have 3 years plus on contracts so very uynlikely mr drunk on promotion saints fan. ull be back playing leicester and barnsley this time next year.You must be a pompey fanSaints fan here, please everybody ignore people like this! Giving Saints fans a bad name!Lafferty going to Bristol cityTo true,enjoy your one season at the top table,as it will be one and only,tee heeTypical Southampton fan thinking they are a big club with the ability to buy who they want...sad, you dont see Reading fans do thisI would say ive seen a tone of reading fans bigging up their new russian owner and how hes going to splash the cashWhoever said "Typical Saints fan thinking they can buy who they want" your an idiot! Saints fans do not believe this at all, posts like these are being put up by non Saints fans to make us look bad...i.e pompey fans.No one knows who has posted this tripe but obviously it's someone either wanting a response or a complete idiot, whether they're a Saints fan or not we'll never know but to confirm again what a load of tripe!

George Boyd going to Brighton in a 1
million pound deal(5)(22)Think Peterborough would be pleased with £1m for a player they have just realised at the end of his contractThey haven't just released him, they have placed him on the transfer list, due to being in his last yer of his contract which is due to end in 2013No hes notLove to have him but the last place he'd come as a Palace fan. This one has been done to death before.I'm getting fed up with people saying he's a free agent, he has another year, didn't sign a new contract and has therefore been transfer listed. Sort it out ffs.For free

 


01 May 2012 13:58:39
Firstly I will say I am neither a Man City
or Utd fan. I was pleased to see that
Fergie got his come uppance last night.
The times he has intimidated officials
and got away with it, but he got a taste
of his own medicine last night. City
were by far the better team and
deserved to win. The only blot was the
yellow card for Kompany v. Rooney
who knew by staying down the ref
would act as he did, again, another
Fergie trick! The blue half are now in the ascendency so let us hope old red nose
knows his place.(23)(10)Didn't say you wasn't a Liverpool fan though!!TBH this statement was a load of S!T , united are missing fletcher anderson and dont forget Vidic argubly best CB in the world. United will be back next season watch!

Derby County to sign the following

Johnny Russell(Offer made)
Krystian Pearce(Offer made)
Michael Jacobs(Free Transfer)
Daniel Powell(Offer made)
Nick Powell
Havard Nielsen(Pre contract)

Nick Powell has been advised by his
dad to snub a premier league team
intill hes in his early twenties
and go to derby county who will
give him first team football instead of
playing youth football.Nick powell has
been impressed by the level of talent
that derby have and he feels that he
could be apart of that(5)(19)The level of talent Derby have?

Right....You won't be able to get Jacobs for a free because even if he is out of contract you need to pay compensation!!

Free Agent and former Barnsley player David Cotterill will be the first player to join Portsmouth after the leavings of Jason Pearce to Leeds, Joel Ward to Ipswich, Greg Halford to Charlton and Kanu and Benjani to be released(6)(5)And what you going to pay him with?Possibly with the wages that are available from Pearce, Halford, Ward, Kanu and Benjani58m indebt can,t keep spending YOU,VE got to get a BUYER B4 ANYONE IN?Which is going to happen, two people interested, 1 firmer than other. if neither comes up with an offer, balram chanrai said he will buy. hence the signing of david cotterill and many others once the club is bought2 parties interested, but not anywhere near to doing anything. Club looking to clear out rather than bring in at the minute. Chanrai will only take club on if its absolutely last restort, but its only to save it from liquidation not to actually continue to properly run it. Rumour Ive heard is liquidation still likely.If CHANRAI what,s he waiting for? nobody want,s it no assets/ too many debts ? NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SORRYI hope pompy do survive because they are a club with too much historyEvery club has history! And Pompeys recent history has been cheating their way through seasons and the FA Cup!

Wigan will sign Rudolf Skacel from Hearts for £650,00 with Callum McManaman joining Hearts on loan.(8)(9)Had Skacel with Southampton. Some silky moves but generally he's not up to Premier League football.Callum McManaman has already openly said he wanted to return to Blackpool if it was possible next season.Im a Wigan fan and I hope Callum stays with us but Blackpool are a great team, I respect them and there fans and I hope they win the play offs.

I wouldn't blame Callum if he wanted to go to Blackpool on loan again as he did well there with a great manager in Ollie and Nouha is doing just as well but I cant see him going back as I think Blackpool will come back up.

Good luck in the play offs and hope to see you in the Prem next season.

Watford team next season:

Loach

Doyley
Nosworthy
Taylor
Dickinson

Eustace
Hogg

Murray
McGinn
Tommy Smith

Deeney

Don't expect a lot of signings!(12)(1)So What you're actually saying is that Watford are going to sell Adrian Marriappa and Buy Tommy Smith!!I could have said that yes but that's a bit it boring! Watford will be signing other players and letting others go obviously but that's what the line up could look like next season. Those coming in are development players after Dyche stocked up on experience last summer. Definitely coming in is a young winger. Worrall from Bury or Carayol from B. Rovers are the two targets. There will be movement in the striker department as well but the likes of Massey and Assombalonga will get pre-season to impress in the hope that they can have the same impact as Sordell last season. If not then expect loans for them and a Prem striker on loan as it sounds like we'll be keeping Iwelumo, Garner and Deeney.

saints are going to sign clint dempsey for £6m(11)(48)No chanceAdkins type signing, good if it comes offIm a saints fan and people like you whom post utter rubbish on here make all of us look like utter idiots to the rest of the football world!Here we go...............As ifIm a Saints fan and Im getting ticked off with other deluded fans saying we are going to buy these big players which we have no chance of. Its making us look foolish.I'm a saints fan and agree it is annoying to have idiotic posts on here. But give us some credit, I think if Adkins wanted Dempsey, Corteze would act. I think you underestimate our intentions in this league.Too old. Too expensive. Too AmericanToo good to sign for Southampton... guarantee they will go down next season.As someone who is friends with the Dempsey family. I would bet Mitt Romney's Fortune on this. I know where he wants to go. Its not to the Saints. It is a team in the Champions League! that is all i will say!

There will also be a least 3 more players comming in but they are unknown as yet.LOYALROYAL1871(11)(9)Not true the take over cant happen till end of season and then the fa has to check all details and investergate the new owner b4 allowing it to go threw it is reported it will take about 4-8week after the end of the season and reading wont be allowed to deal in any transfers untill its been completed by the FAThat started about 2 months ago.keep up.Wont be allowed to deal in any transfers? We havent got a transfer ban!And matt jarvis

the saints have been told by 4 players they have enquired about that they are not even willing to go into talks with them ..steven fletcher ..matt jarvis are 2 of them .looks like the mighty saints will struggle to attract good players(18)(21)Bitter fan there obviously. You clearly know nothing.Oh dear maybe we should see if we can stay in the championship if thats trueYeah....everyone knows Southampton are signing 34 new players, 17 loan players, 12 youth players and.....Emile Heskey!!. Sir Alex ferguson said Southampton are a bigger club than Utd, City & Liverpool all put together.Haha sounds like a bitter Pompey fan!Ha HA we ARE premierleague who cares what other supporters say they just want what we have everything coyrdsWhy do we keep getting linked with so many Wolves players? I actually do not understand this at all.Thats twice in two days that big things have had their arses whooped. fergie by refs and saints by decent playersHaha what rubbish.
Saints never discuss anything related to transfers until its confirmed. so theirs no chance a bitter fan like yourself would know anything about Saints dealings..As annoying as it is now as a Wolves fan now you've been promoted you'll be linked with all the decent players from the relegated clubs, as Wolves are the only team definitely down that is why you are being linked with our players, but how anyone knows that you've contacted them and they've turned you down is rubbish, for a start there are 2 prem games left so Wolves wouldn't have give permission to speak yet, it's probably just stupid Pompey fans jealous.

Former Genk player Janssen on Swansea City: "A great club"

Ajax midfielder Theo Janssen does not know how long he will play for the Amsterdam club. The thirty-year midfielder has a contract until mid 2013, with an option for another season. A foreign adventure he also does not matter.

"I do not know if I'll stay. It is impossible to predict. I personally have no control," said the Arnhem at De Gelderlander. The midfield for next season is already quite busy including Vurnon Anita, Siem de Jong, Christian Eriksen and purchase Lasse Schöne.
He would like to work in England, at a club like Swansea City. "A football team that plays in my heart. A nice club. I am open to a beautiful foreign club," said Janssen, who in the season(9)(0)

MILLWALL'S chances of bagging Nottingham Forest centre-back Joel Lynch look slim because he has been offered a contract by boss Steve Cotterill.

The Lions made an approach for the 24-year-old last summer but were told he was not available.

The centre-back's contract runs out this summer, but he is one of only two players to be offered new deals - the other is former Bromley winger Gareth McCleary.

The Eastbourne-born former Brighton trainee, who can also play at left-back, has played 38 times for the Reds this season, mostly in his preferred position of centre-back, scoring twice.

The 24-year-old product of Brighton's youth academy joined Forest from the Seagulls in 2009 for a fee of £200,000 after a successful loan spell.

Forest's finances are in turmoil after they were left owing £75m to club chairman Nigel Doughty, who quit last October - then died suddenly in February. He had made plans to invest a further £23m in the coming two years. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------(5)(3)If this bid is true then I would not rule it out on the basis of being offered a contract at Forest. Millwall are progressing and will therefore be attractive to players, I'm a Charlton fan and even I can see that. No disrespect to Forest but, they are still in a state of flux, new owners usually bring new management etc etc.Lynch himself put on his twitter that hes going nowhere and its all paper hype check it yourself - "JJL33"

Reading are interested in signing Shane Long back from West Bromwich Albion. Long will leave if a good manager isn't taken on at the baggies.(8)(14)Shane long as stated he wouldnt ever go bk to readingStfu! Shane long LOVES Reading, he goes to games and all sorts. He and manager Brian McDermott are very close. He would definitely go back given the opportunityWas at the stadium on sunday, he was in with the away fans at derby tooThe guy who said "he would'nt ever go bk" clearly does not know Shane. He has been to Reading many times this season which include being there on sunday to see us lift the trophy. I can't see it happen myself but if the price is right, it is possible. Long is a Royal!They might as well have him back its not like theyve got a few decent strikersShane long is a perfect fit for the royals - his pace will work amazingly well around jason roberts - has royal blood too!!

Stop speaking trollopPeople like you are a joke, why come onto this site and make up pointless rumours. Yes saints could be a likely target, but there are better options out there for the cost it would take to buy him and bournemouth lol get real

No player at his age will drop from the premier league to L1.

So why would we sell a player for less, to direct competition, and when he is our first choice LB? Idiotic rumour.Dont be daftGod I hope so. Whata liability. He nearly cost us promotion and certainly the Championship.Are you mad! Fox was one of our best players last season! you obviously don't understand football 18 assists from left back only bettered in England by Van Persie and Aguero? he is quality! wont go anywhere for under £4M !

Kenny Daglish wants a 3rd striker for next season to compete or play with Carroll and Suarez. Daglish is currently tracking Oliver Giroud,Gary Hooper and Dutch strikers Luuk de Jong and Ricky van Wolfswinkel. IMO Luuk De Jong and Gary Hooper are the most likely. One of these 4 forwards will be at Anfield next year.(3)(17)Hooper has been down for talks yesterday according to friend who works at anfieldProbably best off getting a 2nd striker in first isn't he?Stevenage have a good striker they can have for £40m and he'll get more goals than Carol.

 


01 May 2012 02:47:25
Barnsley are looking to sign wycombe striker Stuart Beavon and Doncasters James O'Connor. Keith Hill will also be on the look out for a winger come striker after Kallum Higginbotham has had his Hudderfield Town career resurrected. Don't be sup prised to see the reds make a dash for Sheffield Wednesday striker Chris O'Grady although this move would be unlikely. Other signings would come from the loan market or trials as the clubs budget is not as generous as previous years.(9)(8)

 


01 May 2012 09:21:34
This isn’t a we are GOING TO sign post, but in my opinion who I think would be potential realistic targets for Saints to look at for next season. Players with Premiership experience/potential.

I think we need to sign at least 7 players to make sure of a good season next year. A Goalkeeper, full back, centre half, 2 Central Midfielders, winger and a striker.

Relegated Teams

Michael Kightly - Wolves
Steven Fletcher – Wolves
Matt Jarvis – Wolves
Roger Johnson – Wolves (only signed with Dann)
Scott Dann – Blackburn (same as above, formed a good partnership at Birmingham)
Hoilett – Blackburn

Championship players if current teams aren’t promoted
James Tomkins – West Ham
Matt Phillips – Blackpool
Peter Whittingham – Cardiff
Nathaniel Clyne - Crystal Palace (if not brought by one of the big boys, would benefit from minutes ala Moses at Wigan)
Jay Rodriguez – Burnley

Personally I don’t think we will more than one of theses however like I said this is the types of players I believe we should be looking at. I also think that we will sign some gems from the likes of the French/Italian leagues like Newcastle have done who’s wages aren’t through the roof like most of the above would likely to be. This seems to be the Saints way under Cortese to keep our transfers under wraps and surprise everyone. We also don’t seem to be a club who take loan players from the top clubs.
Although our owners have money and some of our fans seem to think that we will/can sign anyone I can’t see us doing what QPR have done and buying big name/wage players.

Whatever does happen this Season has been amazing and am looking forward to seeing the Saints back where they belong and on MOTD every week.(15)(15)Lets see where you "belong" at the end of next season.Get a grip no player would commit to a team that will come straight back down ..and the saints will be competing with every other bottom half established prem club for players that happens every year in the pecking order i have the saints bottom of the prem list in clubs player would want to signe for..they will be fighting for the scaps other clubs leave behindWolves are a club with no debt so therefore it has been decided at boardroom level to try and keep the squad together. Any new manager will have to sell to raise funds. The chances of us selling 4 players to 1 club is less than remote. We have put 12 million on fletchers head so would probably want 25 million for that lot!To say saints will be fighting for scraps or finish bottom is a joke. Southampton are far stronger than Swansea, Norwich, Reading, QPR, Bolton, Stoke, Wigan, West Brom and others. You clearly know nothing about our structure, ambitions, squad or how we play. With our current squad we'd stay up. With solid additions that we will certainly get, Saints will very comfortably be mid table and keep building toward European football. Southampton FC has it all, the best academy and youth development in the country, decent stadium with big support base home and away, billionaire owners with huge ambitions, a very shrewd chairman and an excellent young manager. We wont do a Man City, but you can bet we'll be in the Premier league for many years to come.

I think the list above is very good and the comment is probably on the button. But you forgot Chris Burke (Brum) and Matt Taylor (WHU).

Inflated figures for relegated players are delusional. Players need to get shifted because of wage structure and their will to play Premier League football. The player is only worth what someone will pay. Jarvis and Hoilett will command a hefty sum, but others will go for nothing exceptional.Roger Johnson?
Your welcome to himSeems like a couple of bitter Pompey fans on here!Matt Taylor, ex pompey no thanks.Why dont you just change your name to wolves , as you seem to want to sign everything wolves.

I hope its not the truth but apparently Gary Megson will be offered the job. Were never going to get anywhere with him in charge(13)(3)Oh yes you are......relegatedGinger mourinhoWhat job ? with who ?As a wolves fan it would finally put a smile back on my face.Megson working with jeremy peace ? more chance of the dingles getting back to the prem within 5 years..more chance of knittin fog !

Russell Slade has an extensive target listt already and has targeted David Connoly,Jordan S Spence,Tony Craig,Andy Williams and Brian Woodhall from Dagenham.
Exeter captain David Noble is also on his list as is young West Ham player Robert Hall and Spurs Ryan Fredericks on season long loans.
Jay Simpson of Hull is also on the wish if he canstif he can get a settlement on his contract.(5)(2)

Been told the lads need to sell before the club can buy, current wage bill is to high. Ellis Short wants cut backs. Wants at least 8 Senior players to leave. Including McCartney, Angeleri, Riveros, Elmohamady and others.
No players will come to the club until these players have gone.
Ellis Short wants more players from the Acadedy to be used.
Wants the furture team to be build around Jack Colback. Who is the furture of the club and next club captain.(5)(1)This won't sit to well with MON I imagine, looks like a re-run of the Villa sagaMon will have money to spend whether he shifts that lot out or notComplete rubbish. There will be a clear out of dead wood without doubt. But this will not determine MON transfer budget. Oneil has already said hes discussed his ideas for what he wants for the club with short and that short agrees with him. That coupled with how impressed short is with oneils performance since he arrived ive no doubt sunderland will have a healthy transfer fund available this summer

Watford have agreed a fee of 4m for Peter Wittingham. Also want to get Ian Harte on a free from Reading and Sam Baldock on loan from West Ham. They are also said to be interested in Paul Taylor and Anton Ferdinand!(1)(31)Watford haven't got £4m for anyone.

Harte has been offered a new contract at Reading, and Reading have agreed a deal for Whittingham dependant on Cardiff fluffing the play-offs again.As a Watford fan, this makes me embarrassed.DeludedHave watford even got £ 500,000? If Whittingham is going any where it is to a prem club. Harte is staying. Also why would any of those players go to WATFORD! (Reading fan)Loooool this has made me laugh ...cant see any players from league 1 even wanting to join watford such a small club...! and what money do you have ??^ Tell that to players like Danny Graham and Deeney....not to mention Premier League/SPL players who have joined us in recent times.

Stephen Henderson will complete a permanent deal with West Ham.

With the inevitable news that Roy Hodgson will be installed as new England boss coming, West Bromwich Albion will turn to Tony Mowbray if middlesborough do not improve. This is will only occur in the unlikely occurance that Gary Megson turns the job down. WBA board are keen to sign past managers. Lots of rumours suggesting Megson will be offered the job. Comes from a reliable source(11)(26)Chris Hughton will be the next WBA managerGutted Woy is getting the England job as a Wolves fan as I wanted Houghton to be our next manager.No way will Mowbray be back at the hawthorns , he was crap in the premier league with the baggies.

saints could make a triple sweep at wolves to sign o hara hammil and jarvis for 16.5 mfor all 3(18)(41)I like saints but no way can they afford money like thatCourse they can afford it...they are loaded and have just had a large fund from promotion...i would bite there hand off for 16.5 m for all them 3...11 million for Jarvo, 3 million for O'Hara and 2.5 million for hammillCant see hammill joining Saints was on loan there did not do particularly well. Jarvis could be a target though not sure bout Ohara coz of his Pompey connectionsYou don't get the Sky money until the end of next season!

Of course you wont spend like that. You're in for a real shock if you think otherwise.Sounds like far too much for players we probably arent interested inPretty sure bigger teams are interested in Jarvis and O'hara such as Everton, Stoke, QPR, Fulham ect so stop dreaming...We had money before the sky money! So for a start that wont affect our spending. If we wanted to spend big we would, but I dont think thats the way the club wants to do things.

Nick Barmby sacked for unknown reasons by Hull City owners...officially 'suspended' but definitely sacked. Head of football operations and another local hero Adam Pearson has also walked leaving the whole club in a shambles. Rumours are the Allam family want to slash costs selling key players in the process so expect the vultures (or Leicester as they are otherwise known) to swoop for Chester, Fryatt, Stewart, Rosenior.(24)(6)Hull city or leicester city-no brainerand ho you can keep fryattThere is nothing on the Hull website about this, where did you get your info ?Why would Leicester buy back Matty Fryatt when the sold him as not good enough in the first place?

BobbybuffonYou forgot hobbs, we want them all and they will want to leave the sinking shipI didnt necessarily mean them all going to Leicester, but as it happens you can Koren and Corry Evans to the list. As to sources, inside the club and close to Nick Barmby...he is gone not just suspended.

Krul
Ashley Williams-Swansea
R.Taylor

Colloccini
Alex Song-Arsenal
Gutierrez
Ben Arfa
Cabaye
P.Cisse
Afellay- Barcelona (Loan)(7)(58)Why would song go to spewcastle for? arsenal are miles better than them, I think this deluded geordie has forgot that half newcastles team will be soldIf Tiote is worth 30m+ according to yourselfs (Newcastle fans) So going by that, I would value Song at 45m+ he is by far the best defensive midfielder in the league. 14 assists & 2 goals this season, will probably end up being more. Just another Geordie in dream land.

By the way I don't actually value Song at 45m, more like 25m. All though if Tiote is worth 30m I have no idea why anyone would disagree with me.Football is all about opinions and I think both Tiote and Song are quality players but can't for the life of me figure out why Song an Arsenal regular would leave London for Newcastle.

BobbybuffonAshley Williams from Swansea you won't spend £10,000,000 it would take to buy him your a selling club not a buying club BA will be gone along with your keeper. Mike Ashley needs the cash flow.

Get it right Ed. ;) Whoever made this rumour about Le Fondre is in dream land and should be taken as a joke because there is no proof of this happening.Le Fondre apart whoever wrote this is claiming they are selling Butterfield and funding 11 new players and 2 new deals for current players, with transfers, signing-on fees and wages alone this must equate to about £5m not including agent fees!!! I assume Butterfield is going to Liverpool then as Dalglish is the only manager in the english leagues willing to pay that much over the odds for players!

BobbybuffonButterfields contract runs out at the end of june so why would newcastle pay 2 million? they can sign him on a free and go to tribunal where barnsley wont get close to 1 million. and 250k for brian stock, im sure donny rovers will rip there hands off for that amountWheres all the wages coming from.I doubt le fondre is gunna come to barnsley

WBA are set to announce the resignation of Roy Hodgson & give the hot seat to assistant manager Keith Downing for a 6 month contract as Interim Manager.

Chelsea are set to announce Roberto Di Matteo as the new Chelsea manager late next week.

Aston Villa CEO Paul Faulkner will announce Alex McLeish leaving Aston Villa after the Norwich game (in 2 weeks).
Villa will then begin the search for their 6th manager in 3 years.
Rumour is Roberto Martinez might go for the job on the terms of being able to bring Victor Moses & Mohammed Diame with him.(18)(14)Why would Martinez go to Villa now that they are carp when he rejected them when they were half way decent... . Martinez isnt leaving Wigan.Wigan are better than VillaWe are a bigger club with the right manager we can be in the top 10 and we have sorted out the finances now near enough we just need to get rid of Heskey, Warnock, Dunne, Collins and we can start to bring in new signings now bore off with Wigan better than us we are 15th they are 16thI'm a Wolves and sadly have to agree that Villa are a far far bigger club than Wigan although Wigan are a much better team. I cannot believe the previous writer hasn't included Hutton in the list of players to go, my office of Villa fans cannot stand him. But if Martinez is to go to Villa and with Whelan being the astute guy he is I think you'll find the clause being that he cannot go in for any Wigan players until January 2013 at the earliest.

BobbybuffonDave Whelan can't stop Martinez,Moses & Diame leaving for Villa due to them all being out of contract in the summer.
Villa have been cost cutting & once they have a GOOD manager again, they should be able to finance a good strike on the top ten.
Bent,Weimann & Moses upfront & Agbonlahor on the bench? sounds good on paper!Martinez signed a new 3 year deal when he rejected Villa last year, Moses has a year left on hi9s contract so your wrong...

Martinez will stayyy02 May 2012 11:57:29

Swindon manager Paolo di Canio is linked to a transfer for veteran goalkeeper David James! The 41 year olds experience would be key to young prodigy Wes Foderingham. May also sign a coaching contract at the club(6)(9)Where did you hear this? I can't see Town spending significant resources on a position that does not require much improvement. I expect Holmes and McCevilly (excuse the spelling) to sign on and Bostock to sign a season long loan. After this I think Paolo will focus on a couple of strikers capable of firing us in to the championship and maybe another creative midfielder and defensive cover. I think that another keeper will be quite low on his wish list to be honest. Not saying you're wrong, but I expect his wages to be pretty high and Fodders has been immense so think that any money spent on this position to be on a better number two or a youngster, but even Smith is handy to have so I wouldn't be too unhappy with the goalkeeping options that we have currently for next season. Maybe a young up and coming guy that will eventually challenge Foderingham would be a better addition to the squad??Rubbish we have a goalkeeping coach a rubbish rumour

Jarvis is ambitious, but possible, but the price is outrageously wrong. The club has been relegated, they can't afford to keep him on the books so they can't hold out for £11mil, £5mil is possible though. Diarra would be a good signing ofcourse, but the chances are next to none really. We will do well to keep players such as Schniederlin. Chaplow wouldn't be released,and Guly wouldnt be sold. {Ed003's Note - Wolves don't need to sell, but will if a player/players want to leave}A crawley pllayer 2 million

Poss. Leeds team by the end of pre-season: Lonergan, Lees, Pearce, Barrett, White, Snodgrass, Green, McCormack, Clayton, Diouf, Becchio

Beckford, Kenny, Carayol, Ambrose and L. Young are also possible. Bruce, Thompson, Cairns, Rodgers and Somma could also possibly be retained. No certainties with loose cannons Warnock and Bates though, as always. As accurate as I can get.
wally(6)(16)Beckford ? - Wally I think you are dreaming Bates will never pay the wages or transfer fee to get Beckford, also Ambrose has stated that he is happy at Crystal Palace and will sign a new deal.
Luke Young and Kenny are on good money, no way Bates will approve those wage levels, even if they are free agents.
Makes your list look a bit of a pipe dream.
Warnock will makes noise, Bates will stall and I can see a parting of the ways, and mid table again next year.
Likewise if someone comes in with good money for any of your better players, they will be allowed to go, with Bates again stating that they refused to sign a good new contract.
Basically same stuff he said last year after Howson, Johnson & Schmeichel decided to move on for better money.If Diouf signs up I reckon a lot of Leeds fans will stay away like i will in disgust. The guys a total scumbag!!!

Strikers Murphy, Ritchie, Collins, Madine, Ebanks-Blake

Jewell will also look to loan market for youngsters like Wickham, De Laet, Ayala and don't rule out a move for friend of Jewell Michael Owen

Clearly not all these will sign but these are all potential targets(7)(21)We Dont want Norris back, i can see a possible 4 from these selections

30 Apr 2012 16:56:12
2 pieces of transfer information regarding players joining Ipswich Town.

I have been told this information by a former coaching staff member who is still in regular contact with the ITFC staff and players.

Firstly, Joel Ward. The deal is all but complete. He has told me that although he decided to stay with Pompey in March, he was very impressed by the training ground and stadium on his visit to here in March. He has been offered the same deal as he was then, and it's just down to Marcus Evans to agree a fee with Pompey. It may seem difficult as Ipswich tend to do a lot of their deals with clauses, for instance, 'x' amount of money after so many appearances. Pompey want the cash up front, but as Jewell has trimmed the wage bill massively since January, it's understood that Evans will get Jewell his number 1 transfer target.


And secondly, Colin Doyle has given ITFC his word that he'll join them regardless of wether Birmingham get promoted or not. He has told them he isn't interested in being number 2 anymore, and he'll come to ITFC to be number 1. Itfc were impressed with his performance against them just under a month ago.(8)(4)First off Ward was in the Januray window not March. Pompey don;t have a leg to stand on anymore on transfer amounts given the decision on selling is handled by administrators. Both targets are on our radar but doubt they are forthcomingITFC do not do deals with a lot of clauses. Owner Marcus Evans doesn't work that way, either buying or selling (though he's more likely to do it when selling, as he did with Wickham). He likes to pay up front and get it done with. As the other reply also said Portsmouth aren't really in a position to call the shots are they?

Walsall in:
Arnoud mendy (Macclesfield)
Maghoma (burton)
Gudjonnson (Huddersfield)
Unsure on others

Walsall out
Jimmy Walker (retired)
Olly Lancashire (port vale)
Adam chambers (Scunthorpe)
Anton Peterlin (Chesterfield)
Emmanuel Ledesma (Middlesbough)(2)(7)Sounds like Moussa is joining you too when his contract expiresWhere you get the maghoma one from?Gudjohnson signed 3 year deal with Icelandic team. This is why he was released early from his contract with huddersfieldMaghoma can't be true, moussa havnt heard that maybe as we can't get culvalier but heard on Saturday we are signing ledesma and celeste, source: celeste himself as sitting next to him against Huddersfield and jimmy walker (who's retiring) after the game who said about ledesma due to Macken and jimmy leaving they are trying to use their wages to fund a deal for him and Nicholas

Akinfenwa to Yeovil to follow Gary johnson along with Jake Robinson and Michael Jacobs all from Northampton(2)(17)Several championship sides want Jacobs
think he will choose one of them before Yeovil simply for higher grade football and
higher salaryNot a chance with any of them!Jacobs would be great but unlikely

greg halford to norwich
luke varney to nottinham(13)(9)Heard pearce as held talks with ipswich as
well as leedsI'm pretty sure Ipswich have hijacked Pearce's move - apparently the player feels the Tractorboys are the more ambitious of the two clubs. Serious blow for Leeds.Greg Halford won't be going to Norwich, get over yourself.

HODGSON WILL BE ENGLAND MANAGER confirm in next 48hrs BBC(24)(6)Joke, another cop out !Howard Wilkinson clone. We can now recreate the Steve McClaren era.Honest man,more than can be said about the tax dodgerCould be a good man for the job...would not trust 'arry ....look how he swopped an changed with PortsmouthAnother FA Man
shocking decision can not handle big players (disaster at Liverpool)
will not rock the boat reason he has been offered the jobWhy do the FA always make such stupid decisions! I think that Harry is the man to bring the squad together and sort out the players psychological problems. I like Hodgson but the Liverpool job proved that a job with high expectations in a short period might not agree with him. Where as Harry is the master of an immediate impact, which is surely what England need so close to a major tournament! Bad, bad decision FA! Another tournament that I will be expecting very little."can not handle big players"

you mean 'can not handle carp players'

Fulham are looking to ship out a number of their older squad players. People like Dickson Etuhu, Steve Sidwell and Andy Johnson are on their way out with players from the Development Squad looking to make the step up.

It is expected that Martin Jol will sign at least a right back (Nathaniel Clyne is no.1 choice), Nacer Chadli from FC Twente, and along with Pavel Pogrebnyak, another striker to fill the void left by AJ. He was sniffing around for Andre-Pierre Gignac, Lucas Barrios and Mohamed Abdellaoue in January and he could return with bids in Januart.(8)(4)

 


30 Apr 2012 14:53:02
Peterborough to sign:
Michael Bostwick - Stevenage
Kyle McFadzean - Crawley
Paul Coutts - Preston
Nathaniel Knight-Percival - Wrexham(17)(1)Most PNE fans know Paul Coutts is on his way out. I can see him going back to Peterborough as he was Baby Fergie's best signing when he was our manager.Dnt think posh will get boswick if rumours are true but just rumours boswick is set to join westley at preston along with roberts and laird,as for coutts he as bought into what westley wants from his players so cant see him leaving unless posh pay 800k for himI have to say I do expect Coutts to leave....but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE learn to write and spell before you give all PNE fans a bad name, youre an embarrassment

 


30 Apr 2012 14:44:01
Think Adkins will buy 3 or 4 players, 5 at most.

1- a young talented keeper as Davis getting on a bit and Bialkowski is shaky. Maybe Steele but i think he would want 1st straight away.
2- quality CB to compete with Fonte and Hooiveld, possibly Upson?
3- RM, DeRidder isnt consistent enough and final ball is shocking, Guly is okay but no confidence as saints fan bully him after 1 bad game. Jarvis or Phillips, only if bpool dont go up.
4- CM,we have a very young inexpirenced CM but has lots of quality so maybe an older CM.
5- maybe a striker to go with Lambert just in case sharp cant produce goods in prem and Lee doesnt look like a weekly goal scorer.

Apart from that we should do what swansea/norwich do and not be a qpr!(16)(2)Completely agree however I think lee has the quality to be a great playerDe Vries, Marriappa, Jarvis, Whitingham, DJ Cambell?And a LB - Bridge
And a RB - ClyneDJCampbell?? No way-they will be back for Hooper who will have the choice of Premiership football or playing in Scotland in a league with no true competition. Even schoolboy footballers get fed up with that and want to challenge their ability.Oh yeah forgot about RB, we need someone quick as our defence is pretty slow and Blackpool showed that on tv. Clyne hopefully, or a longshot Fabio/Rafeal on loan dont know the difference between them. However us saints fans know most of these rumors are bs and Cortese always keeps his deals quiet. Lets not sell out on the squad that got us to the premTeam is far too slow for the Premiership so it's clear this level of change will be required if survival is the aim

Alex McLeish will be leaving Villa Park att the end of the season of his own will.

He is heading up the list to replace Roy Hodson at West Brom.(13)(20)Please let him stay at villa .Hmmm? One Midlands club relegated, He's doing a great job taking a second one down, I bet Baggies fans will be relishing this one!!After he leads West Brom to relegation are there any other Birmingham clubs he can relegate?

JockBeen around the midlands a bit aint he ? Not a premiership manager i'm afraidI wish you villa fans would get real,you are a mediocre team that wont spend money or pay top wages,if you actualy watch the team they aint that bad,tell us who would do any better.The Scotsman is set to join West Brom because Mcleish wants a hatrick of premier league relegations in the west midlands. West brom chairman peace is delighted to get such a good coach for nought.Villa isn't a big job for potential managers any more. Martinez said no and their won't be a queue of big names lining up. McLeish won't leave unless by mutual consent and a tidy pay off........why would he walk away from his contract?

From a source close to the person in
question (Ross Barkley):
And I quote, "I have had a conversation
with the gaffa and my mate and he
wants to move to a bigger close which
is only over the fields of stanley park,
to the mighty reds"

Therefore I can confirm that Ross
Barkley will be moving to the red side
of merseyside in the summer. {Ed025's Note - what a crock!....(3)(19)Judging by the majority of posts on this site I think a lot of football fans are drunk or high most of the time! {Ed025's Note - or, as in this case...a total pot herb..It's quit true, we sometimes loan our young players out to smaller clubs, just to get them some game time, but we tend to send them places that know something about football, so don't get your hopes up.

READING FC:

Ian Harte has been offered a new 1 year contract

Matthew Connolly transfer from QPR has been agreed (fee around 900k)

No decision from club yet on Hayden Mullins who is available on a free transfer, he wants to stay

Jay Tabb has the option of a 1 year contract extention, no decision from club yet

Definitely leaving the club on free transfers will be Gunnarsson, Howard, Griffin, Baseya, Bignall, Cywka, Williams, Hector & Gage

So many rumours flying about, this is the Shortlist of players they are going for:-


Björn Sigurdarson - Lillestro
Jordan Rhodes - Huddersfield
Nathaniel Clyne - Crystal Palace
Ryan Bertrand - Chelsea
Peter Whittingham - Cardiff
Dean Whitehead - Stoke


Other targets include:-

Adrian Mariappa - Watford
Andrew Johnson - Fulham
Kieran Richardson - Sunderland
Jamie Mackie - QPR
Kenwyne Jones - Stoke


Gylfi Sigurdsson is NOT on shortlist, however Reading are interested and are playing it down as it's likely either transfer fee and/or bigger club interest will prevent any deal

At this stage there is no interest in any former Reading players, however a deal for Shane Long may be looked at as a result of West Brom situation and manager change

- theroyalinsider(16)(14)Please lets not sign jones...hes well past it.. and richardson... just asking for trouble..Leaving Messi for the January window then?!Why are we getting Connolly? He is not fit to wear the shirt. If you are the "royal inside" tell Mcdermott this could be the worst signing you could make with signing Mullins.So who is the person who thinks this list of players leads up to messi in the summer? Stop talking football you fool! Anyway, I'm a fan of this list, however you didn't include Dame N'Doye from FC Kobenhaven. Heard there is a lot of interest from the club. And I'm not the biggest fan of Hector leaving, I feel like he has a lot of potential, at least enough to stay with the club for a few more years.. See how he pans outThere has been no approach from the club for N'Doye and he is not on the shortlist.

McDermott was in Denmark last week to watch Adam Eckersley. Reading will not be following up interest.

England Line Up (with Roo)

----------------Hart----------------

Walker----Cahill-----Terry------Cole

---------------Parker---------------

Downing--Lamps----Gerrard----Young

--------------Rooney--------------(24)(27)I would agree with that, tho im not a massive fan of downing. I would have milner, Beckham, Adam Johnson, Aaron Lennon ahead of him. Cahill for me im not sure either, I like him but i think Lescott, Rio and Smalling would be ahead of him. I think Phil Jones will be second choice to Parker, Possibly Carrick in the fold too.No Rooney he doesnt care about international games he never tries.Rooney plays too deep for that to work.Get rid of Terry. Disruptive influence. He is behind the player power at Chelsea and organises England press conferences to slate the team even though hes not captain anymore.Downing? Haha the same Downing who hasnt scored or assisted a prem goal this seasonGot to have 2 up front and downing on the right behave lolBaines should play before coleParker is too slow. I know the london newspapers love him, but he will be the weak link in that team. England will not do well in June with him in the team.Why are we still trying to get Lampard and Gerrard together - it doesn't work. Great players apart but not together. Lets build a team instead of trying to put all the best players together even if iot doesn't work.Haha no parker r u kidding without parker they will be . easily one of the most underrated players in the prem. he always gives 100%I would agree with the team apart from Downing - Lennon should be there or the OX. We need the pace on the flanks keep Parker holding with Lampard playmaker and Gerrard just behind Rooney - after watching Chelsea beat Barca we need Cahill/Terry/Cole as the spine of the defence. Keep them together as they have a good understanding of each other - Kyle is just awesome so he has to go in at right back.

 


30 Apr 2012 11:53:29
Ipswich will not be making many signings at all. Sorry but I have it on good authority that Marcus Evans has instructed Jewell to cut the squads wage bill first adn foremost hence why some players have been allowed to run down there contracts.
Also he has been told that a little money will be available but if there are to be any "marqui" signings then Jewell will have to sell first.(4)(19)Wel thats rubbish so your saying we will go into the season with one goakkeeper and two centre backs in our squad even rubbish Cleggs not that daft!

Leeds United Line Up 2012/13

-------------Kenny---------------

Connolly--Lees---Pearce--Robinson

--------Clayton--Green------------

Snodgrass(c)------------McCormack

-------Beckford----Becchio---------


------------------------------------
Outs!

White - Bolton Free
Forsell - Released
Nunez - Portsmouth 500k
Lonergan - Preston 250k(4)(36)Pne will not take lonners backSnodgrass will leave and you can't afford Beckford.Yeah Pompey have 1/2 m laying aboutNo hopers leeds no chance no moneyRobinson has been sent back to BoltonBechio will be sold off - too slow
Robinson already gone
Big changes coming and major clear out to make room for cost effective grafters. Will see Pompey raided for Pearce and one other. Possible Doncaster cast off Diouff and maybe odd one or two select from QPR if they nose dive. Maybe one reasonable transfer fee but rest bought as teams dive or guys come to end of contract. 'Neils a wise old bird'Warnock has said that he will not be signing robbo permanently, Portsmouth cant afford nunez and it looks like warnock wants to build team around becchio and others so unlikely he will be sold what a stupid postWarnock told robinson he's not getting signed so thats one player of that team already!Dont be stupid portmouth aint got any moneyThis is daft because warnock has already said he wants 9 or 10 players

West Bromwich Albion have put
Neil Lennon to the top of their list to

this will give Lennon the chance to
test his self at the highest level.(13)(11)West brom the highest level,get real muppet,sounds like a bitter rangers fanI think you will find the premiership is the highest level you clown. It is a whole world away from the pub team he manages in a pub league at present.

 


30 Apr 2012 12:19:43
Wigan will sign Michael Kightly frrom
Wolves, should they survive.(12)(12)Kightly has a long term contract & Wolves do not need to sell.He only has 12 months left and has been only 1 of 2 to state his desire to stay. Although quite a few who will want him, so we will see. If he does go i think it will be to a stronger premier side.

"Neil Warnock: " I would call Diouf a sewer rat, but that might insult the rats"

None of the Celtic team are for sale unless its silly moneyNo danger of him going there,end of.

Its been PROVED through THE YEARS that theres ABSOLUTALETY NO LOYALTY IN FOOTBALL IM AFRAID!Im pretty sure he has a birmingham badge tattoed on his legAnd he has Mill & Wall tattooed across his arse cheeks!Look....I doubt he's loyal, but he's not going to go to Millwall.

Ipswich are talking to Joel Ward and his agent after manager Paul Jewell renewed his interest in versatile midfielder. Ipswich saw a bid accepted in January for Ward but Ward failed to agree personal terms

Sheffield Wednesday striker Gary Madine is also on Ipswich manager Paul Jewell's radar but the deal may all depend on what league Sheffield Wednesday are playing in next season.

With Ipswich having only one keeper contracted to the club, a keeper is high on Paul Jewell's wanted list, Birmingham out of contract keeper Colin Doyle is one name Paul Jewell has said he's interested in, another player set to be in Paul Jewell's list is American goalkeeper Brad Guzan who is available on a free transfer after not agreeing new terms with current club Aston Villa(10)(8)I'm bored of this and I'm a town fan Ward does not want to come to us. Guzan also is not coming.LOL the suffolk massives

Rumors around reliable sources say that when Roy Hodgson takes the england job, WBA already have a few candidates in mind. Theres a short list of Alan Curbishley, Gary Megson, Mick McCarthy. They will try to lure Christopher Hughton from Birmingham but it will be tough if the blues are triumphant in the play offs.(5)(12)If the shortlist only includes Alan Curbishley, Gary Megson, Mick McCarthy then it has to be big welcome to Mr Curbishley.You area wolves fan then i take it. curbishley may be of interest to them, megson? the world would end before megson and peace worked together again. mccarthy - behaveYou can believe what you want to believe but my source is reliable. They call him the Nostradamus of midlands footballYour getting thick mick and his lappdog connorI would ps myself if mick got the job. Although i ain't gonna hold my breath.

Jermaine Beckford to return his former club LEED S United this summer as he's not in Nigel Pearsons plans for tne next season after bust up on saturday -ssn source - FACT(20)(13)And where's the money coming from? LOL at this.Where is the story link for this?Every time I see 'FACT' at the end of a post I know it should say 'bollox'.Dreams?LOLeeds

Who are they?

ExaclyBeckford got subbed at 45 min because he refused to play against Leeds - We all cheered him and he responded in a fitting way - He hasn't enjoyed football much since leaving Leeds, but he has made tons of money - so he doesn't need big wages now + you can just offer him a lump sum if we get promoted instead of wages throughout year

 


30 Apr 2012 09:32:55
Looks like Leeds's move for Jason Pearce has fallen through, with Ipswich set to sign the defender on a three year deal, with Paul Green also joining later this week.(8)(28)This is good news forthe tractor boy fans, as Pearce, Ward, & Green will give the team a stronger spine, also expect to see Kuszczak of Man U arrive to take up the No1 gloves at Town, next will be another LB and a RB, and another Stronger CBAbsolute rubbish. No - one has reported anything that differs from Leeds agreeing a deal to sign Pearce, Sources SSN, Sun, Guardian, even the Pompey website. I know Paul Jewell has an obsession with signing every Leeds United target but your off the mark.Says in yorkshire evening post pearce deal is practically completed and is just a formality so sounds like your wrong...Everything agreed between Leeds, Pompey (Administrators) and player, that's why he didn't play saturday.Poster 2 to be fair we went in for him first when he was at Bournmouth and have now tried and failed 3 times to get him. He's off to Leeds.Pretty sure he's already agreed a contract which is why he didn't play for Pompey at the weekend.

Tony mowbray set to spend 4m of his 6m summer budget on huddersfield town hot shot jordan rhodes(3)(28)Tony mowbray to be the new WBA manager... againNo he's notIm a boro fan and that is bullsht, like he would be that cheap haha, and we already have big target men like main and jutkiewiczLOL at anyone knowing a managers budget!Story on the south coast is,he's on his way to Brighton,they've supposedly had a large bid accepted,don't know how much and can't see this happening but as the old saying goes, "no smoke without fire". Time will tell,but think the player can do much better than Brighton.Im still confused as to why such high amounts of money are being banged about for this lad. Dont get me wrong hes got ability, but who in their right mind would spend 4 million pounds on an unproven league one player. Ched Evans was hardly prolific in the championship, goes to league one and is the top scorer, that about says it all. If a team spend 4 million and it pays off, fair enough but its a huge gamble on a player that may lack pace and physical presence to cut it in the prem.Jordan Rhodes scored most of his goals against the smaller teams in that league and very few against the top six. Taking him would be a gamble but one that will taken very soon, you just can't argue with 36 goals at his age.Doubt any team will spend £4m on 1 player in Championship especially with new FFP rulesHmm did you not see the 4 goals at Hilsborough.

Peter Whittingham will join Reading IF Cardiff fail in the Play-off's again. Very reliable source says it's a done deal. He's got a very good track record on players coming in.(22)(15)What do ya mean IF? Cardiff are bottlers and won't even make it to wembleyYou will have dig deep then,
as he signed a new contract last august until 2014I Would not mind Whittingham at reading next seasonWhittingham could do much better than Reading.
